I have been going to Salon de Nouveau for years and have had only pleasant experiences for waxing with Alyssa. The other experiences not so much.The haircuts - two of the worst hair cuts ever! The first time, they literally cut all of my hair off. I asked for short layers, but to keep the overall length. I wore glasses at the time (if you met me pre-lasik, you know what my coke bottle bottoms looked like) and I could not see what the stylist was doing until she was like ok put your glasses on! Tada! I earned the nickname baldylocks. My shoulder length hair was not a pixie cut and there was nothing I could do about it. My hair grows really slow so this was an extremely traumatic experience. The next time was three years later, I saw a more experienced stylist who was highly recommended and honestly she made me feel so uncomfortable. She was silent the entire time. No conversation, she tugged at my hair and I had a pounding headache by the time I left. It was terrible. The mani/pedi This was more of a cuticle push with polish. There was no trimming and the manicurist was just not pleasant. It was over priced for what I received. One time was more than enough. Why did I keep going back? No, I'm not a masochist, I just couldn't understand how a place that employed my beloved aesthetician could have some many employees who were just sub par. Alyssa was this salons best kept secret-- in a sense. She wasn't a secret, but it was a pleasant surprise to any one I referred. Even those who had visiting the salon before, but never seen her for a service. She was always so nice, happy and eager to make you happy and your skin beautiful. She able to my tame my unsightly super thick, but sparse brows and make them pretty. I referred so many friends and family members to her and every single one of them was pleased. I recently called to make one of four random appointments per year and earned that she recently moved to M Salon.I'm sorry, but she was the reason I kept coming back and tried other services. I must say that it is time bid Salon Nouveau adieu for services. They do, however, sell Bumble and Bumble products, so I may see them a time or two in the future. Maybe you will have better luck, if you do, please share! Read Less
