RSalon uses Aveda Products Only. Gift when you Go. Even more when you recommend. See Below... |
just off 590. Just around the corner. Seriously. Top Four Why: 1.) Aveda 2.) Atmosphere 3.) Service 4.) Skills. Service got Skills. Check it:
I credit LivingSocial with my introduction to RSalon: $35 for Gel Mani & Spa Pedi. Uuuummmmm. Their prices are super fair to begin with. But $35 for 1!??! I'll take 2. One for me. And one for Momsly! You guys seriously have no idea how huge this is that I got Momsly to go to the salon & get her nails did. It's taken me 24 years--ever since I started wearing Lee Press Ons! (video appropriately from the year of my birth)--to get Momsly to give it a try. And guess what. She LOVED.

Not only will she & I go back. I mean, what's a better bonding experience than this? But I can see her going back with her own friends. Or at least making the rec & them trying it themselves. Bonus? $10 credit for us & $10 off for first-timers when you rec the fam & friends. Win-Win.

RSalon speaks for itself:
1.) Aveda: Erin, my aesthetician who a) looks identical to Erin from The Office & b) was so incredibly meticulous & careful & pleasant that I cannot wait to book her again, explained (better than I will...) that salons have varying degrees of Aveda involvement. From those that sell the earth conscious products but do not primarily use, to those which only sell & only use.

OPI Gel Mani uses LED lighting to dry. |
2.) Atmosphere: RSalon is the latter. Not only that but Scott Dennis, owner & fashion biz connoisseur for over 20 years, completely embraces the Aveda Mission. From centering colors like mud-toned walls & pops of grass-toned accents, to the modern artistic vibe which is embraced by the coloring station palettes, and even to the Asian-Island influenced decor, Scott seamlessly "[connects] beauty, environment, and well-being" into one grounded flow.
Ice cold cucumber water. Offerings of refills. Fusion of modern, Asian, and Aveda-n which flows especially into the restroom. I cannot say enough about RSalon's grounded atmosphere.
3.) Service: You can book online. And it's legit. I booked online. My mother & myself. It works. Email reminders. Unobtrusive texting reminders (if you choose). It works! I cannot say enough about booking online.
I also cannot say enough about calling ahead. Momsly never had a pedicure or a manicure & required special arrangements. You think you got a foot problem? Talk to these professionals first! ...And probably request Jessica. She worked with my mom through the booking & the appointment. I know Momsly would gladly see her again.
4.) Skills: We look great. Nails, flawless. Cuticles, gone. Completely. (Just what I crave &, particularly, why I pay for manis.) Thank you, Erin. I know Momsly--a formerly skeptical virgin--says the same about Jessica.

Spa Pedi with China Glaze Polish. ...Never said I was a foot model. & no, foot isn't broken. |
Aveda products? Second to none. The scrubs, exfoliants, lotions, & oils felt so luxe & nourishing that RSalon's proper application of them has me debating: do I buy my own but apply myself ... or do I go back for more & get the professionals? Most likely ...
Both.

More Gifts!!! Buffer. Emory. Orange Stick. Yesssss. |
I'm a Scott Miller girl no doubt. RSalon, though certainly smaller, absolutely competes. Try it out. Then tell a friend. Talk it up to fam. ... Plus, you can keep the buffer/emory/orange stick. What more could you need???
