In a nutshell this is the most flithy spa I have been to. I went in for a pedicure and the chair they have in there is totally repulsive, I don't understand how they can actually charge for this service. The motor on it was so loud that it sounds like a lawn mower and echoed though the entire salon. I could not believe that the owner would actually run this in a salon who claims that they have a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I would never allow any of my customers to be subjected to such low quality equipment and then charge them such inflated fees for services: they pedicure I got cost $80.00.
Then for the hair coloring and hair cut $200, outlandish!! I had not been tested before my hair coloring for an allergic reaction and ended up with terrible itching for weeks, dry scalp with flaking, and HAIR LOSS!! on the top of my head. I did inform my hairdresser and she gave me a scalp treatment in the hopes of diminishing my itching but it did not work and she was well aware of this fact before I left the salon. Since I would be returning the next day to complete my hair services we decided that we would see if the itching would be gone by the morning. I was not!!
When I returned the next morning I was asked about the itching and told her that it still is present but being that she would not be touching my scalp with the dying solution I have nothing to worry about. She did see and confirm my hair loss and just recommended styling to just cover up the loss.So of course I trusted her and got the remainder of my services done.
So sure my hair looked great when I left the salon. Just when I thought the worst was over the most horrible experience happened. I got my hair done on friday and it was still itching so on sunday afternoon I washed my hair and there was a tremendous amount of dye flowing from my hair, pure color. I still have color release from my hair I just washed it last night! So anyway that night I developed a horrifying rash and hives on my torso and a significant amount on my back and neck. I was waking up every hour and a half that night and was wondering what was happening to me. Then it dawned on me that the hives and itches were mainly on the areas of my body were the water from my head flows.
Of course I went to the salon to inform them of the horror that I was experiencing to see if they had anything to help me with this suffering and the owner Maja just recommended going to the dermatologist and said that She did not believe that it was a reaction to the solutions they used on me. She said she had never heard of such allergic reaction in her 19+ years and told me that there was nothing she could do about it. She went as far as to say that my reaction was most likely due to the heavy VOG we were having. I just could not believe that! the VOG!! I have been living here for my entire life so if it was due to that I am sure I would be well aware of it.
All she did for me was wash and blow dry my hair, she never even considered giving me and type of complementary treatment or credit for the terrible ordeal. She was not even truly concerned about the events that happened to me following my services rendered from her salon.
I am convinced that this salon is only interested in money and not the comfort or well-being of their clients.
PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF FROM NEEDLESS SUFFERING AND SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE GENUINE AND TRUST WORTHY!!
Pros: NOTHING AT ALL!!!
Cons: ANTS AND ROACHES!! GHETTO IN MANOA.
