Things may not have been exactly how we originally planned, but we were able to have a few of our closest friends and family members join us in "The Grove", and it was a perfectly imperfect day. The space itself is amazing, and the way Michelle decorated it was just BEAUTIFUL! If you're looking for a space for an intimate wedding ceremony, bridal shower, baby shower, ANYTHING, i highly recommend checking this new space out! Not to mention, Michelle is the most genuine human being, and it was very clear that she put her heart into all she did for us! PS- Michelle is also ordained, and did the most perfect job marrying us. She took the time to make sure she catered the ceremony to our specific relationship and personalities. If we could do the day over again, we wouldn't have changed a thing! THANK YOU, Michelle

I found this place through their coupon in the Alexandria "Coupon Clipper". I called in the morning…read moreand was able to get an appointment for a massage that afternoon with Joni. (Joanie). I wasn't sure what to expect. When I arrived, the building is dated, very dated. Parking is in the rear, so I went in the back door (oops) didn't see the Employees Only sign- but it wasn't a big deal. The interior matched the exterior, very 1984, smallish, but clean. I was greeted by a very friendly Receptionist who gave me one standard form to fill out. Joni greeted me after I was done with the form and took me back to what she called their small room- and it was small, but cozy. Lovely music on- regular massage room - well with the added bonus of a 1980's wallpaper boarder around the ceiling. The 60 minute massage was incredible. I've had many massages at different places, and Joni was a master. Honestly If I lived in Alexandria I would be on her schedule every week. The Coupon was for $38 for a 60 min massage (which included hot stones)- I checked the price list when I was checking out to make sure to give her a tip based on the regular price, and the regular price for 60 minutes is only $42! I will definitely be back next time I'm in Alexandria - coupon or not!

The facts: the table is extremely hard; there is no padding at all. The Apple Music used includes commercials. My experience: Brittany seemed unsure of her technique and movements; she didn't focus on any problem areas very long and was just kind of all over the place. The table, as stated above, made it quite difficult for me to roll over onto my back due to being so stiff. Days later, I'm finding it hard to bend over or move regularly because of it. I asked for deep tissue, but what I got was more of just your average Swedish massage. The excessive amount of massage cream that was used made me uncomfortable (less is more), as I felt like I was being lubed up and was a bit slurpy sounding. She pointed out the tipping option upon paying, which I don't feel is a professional thing to do. The cupping option was nice and she did bust out a couple of nice moves, but the pressure and consistency just was not there for me. Based upon my experience, I cannot recommend Brittany for anyone experiencing back or hip problems based on the table that she uses. I would highly recommend that she practice her technique to get repeat customers and upgrade her music subscription.

All the stylists were wonderful and seemed to care if we liked how we looked and were all happy.

Poor service and quality all around. I've given this salon numerous chances in hopes it would get…read morebetter, but am saddened to say, I will never go here again. First time I came here, I requested a stylist who is skilled in balayage. The receptionist said that everyone here knows how to do balayage. I said ok, but please schedule me with someone who has extensive experience with it. I show up to my appointment and show the stylist a picture of how I want my hair. It's nothing difficult...very close to my original color. I just needed some refreshed highlights. I specifically said I do not want to be blonde. I want to remain brunette with a few lived-in blonde highlights. The result was the opposite of what I said. I was completely blonde! Like, white blonde! And it was not lived-in. She placed the highlights directly up to my scalp. When I got home my kids literally said it looked like I had gray hair. It was horrible. I called the salon and they got me back in to add more brunette back, which was great. I showed the stylist the same picture as I did the day before and pointed out how it should be mostly brunette, not blonde, and the color does not start at the scalp, that it should have more of a lived-in placement. She argued a little by stating that she thought the highlights started at the scalp. I zoomed in to show her they don't and that this is what "lived-in" means. I knew then and there I would never be back for my hair. Second experience: I needed to get a gel manicure. The person doing my nails completely missed parts of my nail leaving them bare! Multiple nails were not fully painted. Third experience: Decided to try a different nail tech in hopes for a better experience. The new person was definitely better with attention to detail, but she did not have a pleasant "bedside manner." She insulted me to the point that I left crying. I had been going through a particularly difficult time in my life and her comments about my nail color selection and personal preference broke me. You know when you just get to a point that you can't take any more stress? That's where I was at. Getting your nails done should be a positive, uplifting experience. You should never leave a salon feeling worse about yourself. I left a private review of my experience via email over two weeks ago and they didn't even reply to apologize. Three strikes and you're out, Ella's.
