LOUSE-Y experience! Spent big bucks for a cut with the 'artistic' stylist. I had high expectations especially since I paid $90 for this last-minute 'design' cut (unfortunately, had to resched my regular stylist out and was crazy desperate). Not only did I receive a mediocre 'first-choice-like' cut, I'm 99.9% certain she gave me HEAD LICE. I should have known better since she didn't pull a comb out of a barbicide cylinder to detangle/comb my hair...instead she used her 1990's brown brush to detangle and blow dry/'style' which she got from her nasty drawer. (Who does that?). I feel partially responsible for not mitigating the situation and saying STOP you dirty SOB, wash your utensils, and practice some common sense hygiene, especially in an over crowded salon.....
DONATO, you've gone too far. No hair-cutting place should be considered a spa/salon if health and safety standards are blatantly questionable! And don't even get me started with their massage spa. Out of the 3 experiences I've had there, 2 were good and my third and last experience involved me waiting 25-minutes for the masseuse. No respectable spa makes the next client suffer from the previous client's tardiness. Yes, their excuse was that the client prior was late! Too bad, so sad for them. Again, no common sense here...

Big fan of bare esenctials' foundation products. former heavy m.a.c. studio f/x user that used to cover and proliferate my blemishes for years. exposed myself to the world and withdrew from my foundation addiction...now only use bare esenctials to grace my clear skin...it's able to cover minor/major blemishes (not to hd-movie perfection, but close enough) -

I've gotten over a dozen pedicures at Lakeview Nails (since it's so close to my place) and usually had great service for such a reasonable price...until the last time i went a couple of months ago and got cut by one of the girls that barely spoke english. unfortunatley, since she barely spoke english, she wasn't able to apologize (or perhaps didn't want to apologize since I was vividly unhappy about the bright red blood and subsequent alcohol sting and made that clear!). owner reluctantly gave me a $5 dollar discount but i haven't found the time to stomach a return visit...overall, cheapest place in the city that i know of with your own tool kit. overall, it's a hit or miss for me now since i've had a positive experience there 90% of the time...just that 10% that seems to have turned me off...and since the owner didn't care if i was happy, that was too bad. Thought she would've recognized me as a regular customer but i guess i was a dime a dozen. -
