Vanis Salon and Day Spa

is the place to go!

ld not have been an extra charge. For instance, I was upset that I did not get a discount on my hair trial run. I mean I do not think I should have to pay the same updo price when I am just getting a trial. I feel like this should be part of the bridal package, or at least a discount. I also was unhappy about the way they handled the charges. I had put $500 down initially and the girls were supposed to cover the rest. On the day of the wedding instead of asking me who was responsible for everything, they discounted the girls payments, and I was stuck with the foot of the bill. The girls had already gone back to the hotel, and there was not much that I could do at this point. They should have consulted me on the payment, and not assumed that me, the bride, would cover everything. I was unhappy about this lack of communication. It was a rather large charge for me to come up with, thank gosh I had the money with me. I was not completely impressed with the salon, but I was VERY impressed with my stylist, R.J. She was so nice, and gave me a beautiful updo for the wedding. I added extensions and wore my hair half up and down. She was wonderful, and without her I would have most likely gone somewhere else. If you do go to this salon, please request her, she is a wonderful stylist, and deserves all of the business that she can get. The makeup artists are also wonderful. They are very responsive to your requests, and do makeup exactly as you would like it DO not be afraid to request the makeup darker, as they tend to put it on light unless otherwise requested.

egant and stayed all day - exactly what I wanted. I feel that my cost as the bride was quite high just because I was the bride. I had a simple chignon and had to blow-dry my hair straight (I have curly hair) the night before myself. It took the stylist about 30 minutes to do my hair, but cost $75 with tip. Overall however, I loved all of the other girls' hair and I don't think they were overpriced. Everyone at Vanis was very friendly and the decor was tranquil and peaceful.

. The wedding day was...unpleasant...in terms of the hair. Again, the stylist wanted to go her own way. When I wanted my extensions put in, she said she didn't think I needed them and said, "go get your make-up and when you're done let me know what you think." I got my make-up done and it was incredible! So, a thumbs up on that. My bridesmaid told the front desk that I was not happy with my hair and they had an assistant curl my extensions until my stylist was free to put them in. (It was technically still within the timeframe of my hair appointment, so she should never have sent me off to make-up without finishing my hair!) My girlfriend re-fixed my hair later that day because the assistant didn't use any products on the extensions and the curls were flat within the first hour. EXTREMELY disappointed, because I paid a LOT of money for this.
