Ahh ☺️I just had the best night's sleep ever. I had an Indian Head Massage yesterday and boy do I love getting that treatment from Andrea. I suffer from chronic headaches and migraines and this massage feels heavenly. 

Thank you for the review Robin. We are sorry to hear that parts of your service was not complete. We would love to have you back to make this right. 

I was pleased with what was done, but don't believe I received the full treatment for the manicure part of the mani/pedi special. I accept partial responsibility because I did not read the description of it before I went: however I would expect employees to know what it includes. The marine manicure includes a hand soak and massage, which I did not receive, 

Very relaxing! Always happy with my pedicures! Thank you Rebecca!

Always a pleasure to have hair done by Paula.
