I gave this salon a 5 Star rating a few months ago because they treated me great for being a Trans…read moreWoman. They did not misgender me and they treated me like I was human. Apparently, they did not appreciate the good review I left on here. So, this time I went to get my hair colored and I was misgendered twice and then issued an apology only to be misgendered again. I almost started crying right then and there. I thought I was in a safe space where I was accepted, but I was wrong. If you are Trans do not go here, they don't want you here.

I was a recipient of a beauty school haircut disaster. After 6 weeks of waiting for hair to get a…read morelittle longer, I called several salons near me to get an appointment to start straightening out the mess I had. I was taken care of promptly at my appointment time. We had a consultation to discuss a plan to work towards a professionally cut style. Susie cut my hair and addressed some of the issues and we both agreed this hair reformation would be a several month process. He assistant shampooed and styled my hair and used several styling products appropriate for my hair. Susie checked the hair when she was done. The salon was immaculate and they offer various styling lines for purchase. Being a relative newcomer to the area, I have found my salon!

This is a beautiful place to relax. The service was phenomenal. The front desk took care of me…read morequickly and helped me navigate their check in process. I was paired with Kevin who gave me a great massage during my pedicure and was absolutely meticulous on my manicure. He made sure I had a beverage and that everything was good, from water temp to nail color. I was embarrassed about some skin stuff I had going on but he reassured me that it wasn't a big deal and I was put at ease. The building itself stands out among others on Lima Road and the interior is modern and clean. It was well staffed and the music was vibey and quiet. I will absolutely be going back for more services. Can't wait to try their scalp treatments, facials, and massages!

There needs to be more personable employees at the front lobby…read more Employees shouldn't discuss personal things in front of customers. They don't promote specials when you check in. This was my first time here and was just told to check in and pick what you want from the screen. After getting my nails done I see the specials on the monitor. I'm sitting here writing this review as the same employee is talking with a tech with a customer sitting in the chair about a customer. They want you to pay cash and even have a convenient atm for you. They refuse to let you use your debit card or credit card to include a tip and tell you they only take cash tips, rudely I might add. The atm will only give you up to $200, and the employee couldn't figure out to use the cash for the tip and the debit card for the rest of this ridiculous bill. They charge $10 to shape your nails. My manicure didn't include soaking my hands in solution, just dry cutting my cuticles ...dry cutting my nails, I didn't want any polish and they for $40 don't even buff your nails for a shine. My niece has two cuts in her toes from her pedicure, she's a diabetic and we had the tell the tech 3 times not to scrub the bottom of her feet. Her nails were also rough. I was nicked twice but no blood on my toes. My toenails weren't cut, just filed. My nails have rough snagging edges and when I will get off of this review, I will never go there again and fix my nails. $370 for the two of us later no thank you. They do try and push drinks on you, they looked refreshing.

My wife made a reservation over two weeks before her appointment for her and her Mother to get…read moretheir hair and nails done. She was taking her mother to get all this done before her mom's biopsy. My wife was so happy to be able to spend time with her mother before these procedures, as we're not sure how much more she can take. My wife called a SECOND TIME to CONFIRM the appointment, one week before the hair and nail appointments for her, and her Mom. THE DAY OF THEIR APPOINTMENT... The lady at the desk says that Mom has no appointment scheduled. My wife is floored! All this anticipation. All this planning. I feel so bad for them. A Day Away more than messed up. How does someone at a business take a reservation, and a week later confirm the reservation, and it's not really there?!? 100% Bad Business!! You had one job, Linda!!!!!!!!!!! A Day Away Salon & Spa is not the place you want to go!!! There is a chance that you will not have an appointment when you show up, even if you call later to reconfirm!!!!!! They did offer a $20.00 coupon...

I would highly suggest that you avoid this Salon. My daughter went in with my wife to have her hair…read morehighlighted. The stylist, Kristen Eiden, convinced my daughter that she needed to have her hair colored (instead of highlighted) and proceeded to spend 4.5 hours to accomplish this. My daughter came in with a picture of how she wanted her hair to look (see attached pictures). Instead of blonde highlights, she came away looking like a brunette with some gray mixed in. Kristen convinced my daughter that her hair looked good and had her believing it until she got to look at it outside of the salons lighting. After seeing her hair, she began to cry because she strongly felt that she would be made fun of at school. My wife reached out to the salon that evening stating that we had significant concerns with the styling. The receptionist said she would reach out to Kristen and have her contact us. We didn't hear anything back, so my wife tried reaching out to Kristen via Facebook Messenger and received no response at all. My wife called the salon in the morning and asked to speak with a manager. She was told that the manager/owner wouldn't be contacting her back until the end of the week! My daughter literally refused to go to school, so we were left with no other option but to go to another salon to have her hair fixed. We finally received a call back from Kristen, 24 hours after the incident occurred, and she and the owner of A Day Away Salon refused to issue any kind of refund and took zero responsibility for the issue that had occurred. If you want absolutely terrible customer service and a botched hair job, this is the salon for you!
