In Short – Immense, 100-year-old house in a quiet area of Central Arlington (near the UTA campus). The salon is downstairs where the atmosphere is lively and the furnishings sleek. Body care is performed upstairs, a haven in colors of fawn and taupe. Fresh fruit is offered in the Quiet Room, an airy space with overstuffed chairs for relaxing before and after a treatment. A full menu of body treatments is available, from the prenatal massage to airbrush tanning.

Never again
by courtney0606 at Citysearch
I used to be regular at this salon when my old colorist was still there. She moved repeatedly and after a couple of years we lost touch. Thinking how great Burt Grant was, I decided to just find a new colorist there, since my prior experiences were all wonderful. I was booked with a girl named Brittany, and she was awful. She had an attitude to begin with, and she turned my hair bozo orange, when all I needed was for her to do a root touch up to make it blonde. While I was crying in her chair after seeing what she did, she just said the color was "pretty" and didn't even try to fix it. She told me if i was still unhappy in a week, to come back and she would tone it. WTF? I told her I would go somewhere else to get it fixed, as I was not living for even one day with orange hair. AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND I WILL NEVER RETURN.
- Cons: Horrible service/color

Only for Up-do's
by KathyEE at Citysearch
The salon is in an neat, but old house. Tudor, perhaps? I've tried the salon several times - waxing, haircut, color, and makeup for an event. Besides one stylist who does awesome updo's, I'm not impressed. I'll start with the stylist, whose name I'll add another time as I can't recall it at this moment. My daughter has been to her for several up-do's. A few times we've had to try other stylist because our favorite was not available. Turns out, she has a full time job with a major airline company and works as a stylist part time. She ALWAYS creates what my daughter requests. We always have our hair done late morning, and the up-do will last all thru late night without a problem! Other stylists (this salon and elsewhere) up-do's have never made to the event before starting to fall apart! Besides our favorite stylist for up-dos, I"m not impressed with the salon. The stylist I've tried, I never like their haircuts. But, even more frustrating is the house itself. It is quite cramp trying to make room for enough stylist stations. When I had my hair colored, I was asked to sit in a chair over by a window... which was very uncomfortable with the airconditioning from the floor vent blowing on me. And I was cramped in between 2 stations working on clients. I could tell there was no where else to sit, while my stylist squeezed in another appointment in her chair while my color took. The wax jobs at the sink are uncomfortable -- people walking right by my head and feet, watching it all going on (I feel waxing is a little personnal), and the lighting in the salon is dim, which makes me question the ability to correctly color my hair. Cramp and dim settings, except the reception and if your lucky to get a cut in the back house. I don't recommend this place, even though I see some stylish women leaving the place. I think even if it is my bad luck to get the bottom stylist, I don't like the setting as a salon.
- Pros: One stylist does the Best up-do's that last forever
- Cons: The building

Bad wax experience
by rpts at Citysearch
The salon seemed nice and I made an appointment to get an eyebrow and lip wax. I was scheduled with one person and then I when I got there they had changed me to someone else, which I really didn't like. Then when the girl came to get me she took me to the shampoo station and told me to lay down there in the sink where you wash hair. So there I am in the open with guys and people walking around while I am getting my lip waxed, it was a horrible feeling. I will definitely not go back for any type of waxing.
- Cons: Not professional waxing area/Costly for a wax job in a sink
