Best

I'm shocked at some of the recent negative reviews posted. Since a number of those provide no actual names it makes me question whether it might be a local competitor rather than...

Worst

facial are great the masagges so-so and facilities cramped. Its and Aveda based spa co prepare to to blitzed about buying products! Pros: skilled personnel Cons: no parkin...

Finally!! 3/13/2007

I've been to this salon many times over the past several years, but have never been that thrilled with the color that I've gotten there. So I decided to try a different stylist and I'm really glad I did. Mari got my color PERFECT on the first shot, where most of the other "senior" (ahem) stylists have always just done an okay job at it. So if you need highlights - go to Circe but be sure to ask for Mari!!! more

Less than one star 1/16/2007

NOT WORTH IT! 8/24/2006

If you are looking for a HAIR salon, then this might be a great place...but the spa services were more expensive here than other area spas and the lack of ambiance ruined any hopes of a relaxing/peaceful spa day. First, the pedicure chairs are located behind the hair salon area, separated only by about 4 feet and a makeshift curtain. So, you get to hear all of the noise from the hair salon area (talking, water running/washing people's hair, blow dryers blasting, etc.). And, Circe doesn't even have the whirlpool pedicure chairs! They bring you a large stainless steel bowl of luke warm water to dip your feet in. It was also unclear whether the nail file, etc. were NEW for each customer. On to the massage/facial.... the "treatment rooms" are located in a narrow hallway RIGHT BEHIND THE RECEPTIONIST/MAKE-UP AREA! And, right across the hall from an old bathroom in need of being remodeled. During our massages/facials, my friend and I could hear the toilet flushing, people talking in the rec more

discovering time to relax...and more 12/20/2005

I was given a referral to Circe for a make-over and spa day. The receptionist was so helpful and sweet...I was late but no matter....she was happy to see me and delivered a cup of tea as she ever so calmly -took me to the salon to start my "make-over"day. The stylist was so professional and recommended a color and cut -perfect for me! My hair never looked so good or felt so healthy-Aveda hair color really is the best! And my massagemmmmmmm. I especially enjoyed the sound therapy which helped me relax and left me in a state of alpha bliss. I never experienced a Thai massage before---looooooved it! It was great that the therapist used different techniques on me -a little Thai massage, a little swedish and even some cool and warm stones. I will go back again and again.I'm a client for life! Thank you Sheila, Angie, Meka, Kyori and Simone for making my month! more

Amazing Caribbean Spa Treatment 12/20/2005

I read about this treatment in Allure Magazine so I booked an appointment. The service lasted an hour but I was floating the rest of the day. I wish I had booked a couple of other services to go with it like a manicure. The design and atmosphere were great. more

Allergies? Stay away... 8/12/2005

They're shooting for ambiance to make up for the small space - but it needs redesigning... Start with the OVER SCENTED foyer. If you have allergies I'd recommend staying away from this place, because everything they use is heavily scented and they burn oils or something in the foyer....and it's waaay overdone. Customer service can leave a lot to be desired. Management can be vapid and act like they don't want to be bothered. Don't expect to be able to exchange or return anything - no matter what the person on the phone says, they don't do it. Pros: Some stylists are +++ Cons: HEAVY scents, Brash management more

Great massage, but no ambiance 6/14/2005

I had the warm heat massage, and the therapist was great. But the room left a lot to be desired, and there was no waiting area, per say. You had to check out in the regular store, and I had to wait on line, which blew the ambiance. more
