I traveled to the Santa Cruz area last year for my sister's wedding. It was the first time I had ever been to California. My sister had reservations at Tonic for all her bridesmaids and immediate family to have makeovers for the wedding. I had been chronically ill for many years, and had felt very self concious about my appearance. The Tonic staff was so warm and wonderful. They dyed and styled my hair so beautifully that I almost forgot how sick I was. They even offered to help me with my makeup for no extra charge since my hands shake too much. The experience meant so much to me. I will always think fondly of Tonic for that reason.
