Her mani/pedis are top notch and I love the privacy of the her little corner in the back of the spa. She doesn't use one of those vibrating chairs that poke my back in odd places. She has this completely relaxing ambiance and everything is hyper-clean. She is fastidious about the hygiene of her materials -- and I notice. Additionally, Linh gives the BEST quality mani/pedis and her prices are reasonable. When she has a special ($30 mani/pedi & $25 no-chip mani), you will not find a better deal, and you certainly will not find better service. She's super quick to respond to my texts about scheduling appointments, and I like how she takes her time when she does my nails. I always know I'll have a fab mani/pedi when I leave the Village Cutting Room!

I took my first trip to The Village Cutting Room yesterday and was very impressed. I got a Bloomspot deal for waxing and Kasia was amazing. The place was buzzing with hair and mani/pedi clients, but the waxing room was discreet and as pleasant as possible. Since my Bloomspot coupon covers three bikini waxes, I already made my April and June appointments, but I definitely plan on becoming a long-term client of Kasia's. Great place for waxing in Roscoe Village.

The lady checked me in and went to talk to her colleague in a different room. She came back and asked me if I was sick, I said no? And with a confused face she said so you just normally sound like this? And I said "mam, I feel perfectly fine and can assure you I am not sick." She walked away back to a colleague in a different room and before she came back I had already decided this place does not care about good service, I am out of here. She seemed so bothered by me arriving early to my appointment too, the whole experience was off putting. Also, the place smelled like it hadn't had fresh air in months.

It is truly deep tissue, she really worked some key pressure points, leaving parts of my body feeling better than they have in a while. Late in pregnancy I've just become accustomed to my hips and back feeling off so it was almost jarring to walk back to my car with less pain. The bed is set up really well, they know what they're doing with pregnant clients. I was really comfortable the entire time. It is really nice, after so many months of getting poked and prodded at the doctor, to be treated very gently. I'll definitely be coming back, hopefully both before and after I give birth. They have no cancellation fees if you book and are unable to make it because you go into labor, which is really nice. It's definitely pricey but it's worth the money. An overall great massage, if you're pregnant and thinking about getting a massage, this is the place to go.

It wasn't lingerie per se, but damn close. But being a middle-aged woman myself, I figured no way she's going to proposition *me* so as long as the massage is good who cares what she's wearing. But to back up -- when I first walked in I asked d a 30 minute chair massage but when they set up the chair it looked broken and wasn't comfortable so I asked for a bed massage instead. She said she could do 15 minutes and I said OK. The bed was in a clean and comfortable private room and the massage was fine. However, it lasted maybe 11 minutes tops. However, given that her technique was somewhat scattered and was pretty simplistic, it was obvious that she didn't have the skills nor the attention span for anything longer than 10 minutes, so it was just as well. Anyway I don't want to complain too much about having someone rub your back and scratch your head for maybe 11 minutes, which, let's face it, always feels pretty good. And it was only $15 (she charged me $10 and I tipper her $5 because, well, why not).

First of all, their hours are crazy and change every day, so I had trouble even getting an appointment made. I went in for an eyebrow and bikini wax on a Saturday morning. The woman who did the waxing was Lainie or Lonnie or something like that. I can't remember and I threw away the card after my awful experience. First of all, you have to wind your way through ugly, industrial hallways to even get to the spa section of the place. I was scared I wouldn't be able to find my way out. The room she put me in was extremely warm, and when I mentioned it, she just ignored me and told me it was just because the massage table was heated. She started with my eyebrows and told me that she likes to work quickly. I was definitely okay with that because who wants a wax to last long? Anyway, even though I told her I liked the natural looking, fuller brow, she waxed below AND above the brow line and totally thinned my brows into lines. I was angry since my brother's wedding was that weekend, but figured I could pencil them in. T he bikini was was very painful, of course but seemed mostly okay. That is until two days later when I realized the hair hadn't been pulled out, but ripped off at the surface so that it was already growing back in weird patches. Gross, I know. I called to complain and left a message about my problem. (Again, weird hours, so I could hardly ever get anyone.) They didn't even bother calling me back! I tried one other time and still was ignored. Their regular prices are ridiculous for how cheap the experience and quality is, so I will NEVER be going here again. Luckily I only paid the reduced price for the bikini wax because of the Pretty in Pink promotion. Plus, if the way they treat their dissatisfied customers is an indication of the business, you should definitely turn and run!

Take caution reading ahead because this review vill contain blunt statements. Do yourself a favor and peruse all the critical reviews before making a decision to go here for any type of service. This salon has been getting several low reviews for at least 15 years now. The atmosphere is negative. The staff of licensed stylists keep leaving. Plus, vorst of all, the unprofessional and degrading behavior by the owner towards the clients is sickening! Personal matters should NEVER be discussed vith a client that is not involved and just trying to get paid services done. The most outrageous thing is having the owner claim he vas promised and "wants" personal family items in my possession from my late mother that vas not previously discussed or put into an official legal document. I don't listen to ANYONE by their vord alone vithout distinct proof.

Vibe is very unsettling to say the least. The owner is pretentious and a douche. The stylists are nice and accommodating on their own, but seem to be intimidated by the tyrannical owner. He is very unprofessional with his clients and talks down to his staff. There is no second guessing why there is a huge turnaround of stylists. They get smart and leave him! I do not recommend this place to anyone unless you like being treated poorly by someone who thinks that he is King of Hair. I believe Prince of Pubes is more accurate. Take your business elsewhere. Supercuts would be better. You'll save a ton of money and your sanity!
