Emilys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Still love it. Alayna remembered me after almost a year. That alone impressed me. She got my brows done while we were waiting for the pedicurist to get back from her break. They also use real lemongrass in the signature pedicure soak. I was really surprised by that. I was expecting some kind of oil or powder, but nope. There were actual sprigs of lemongrass floating in the water. My legs feel awesome, smell great, and the polish is perfect. I'm spoiled for life. -
Emilys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Time for yet another update. I had Lindsay do my color this time as I apparently forgot to book a cut & color with Alana. By the time I realized, I hadn't booked the color, it was too late to get a spot with Alana. Lindsay definitely rose to the occasion. We talked a bit about what I was looking for. I wanted to lighten up the red since we're going into spring. I had ambitions about giving up more red, but with my coloring, that would've looked even more fake. I'm very happy with the result. As much as I love Alana, I'm confident that everyone in the salon does a great job. When I walked in, several hair triage appointments were going on and all the clients seemed to leave a lot happier than they walked in. No matter who you work with, you're in good hands. -
Emilys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: Laureen rocks! I went back to her about 3 weeks ago to help work out a rib injury. I strained/tore a bunch of muscles in my chest wall. After being in pain for nearly 5 weeks, I figured a massage couldn't make me hurt any more than I already did. I expained the problem and she spent pretty much the entire hour working out my entire left side. I had problems from muscles in my hips all the way up under my diaphragm and she took care of it ALL. She also explained how I could work it out if I needed to. She also made recommendations for stretches and things I could do to keep the muscles loose. I walked out of there pain free for the first time in weeks. I caught a cold and ended up aggrivating the injury again because of coughing. I'm going back to see Laureen on Sunday to help work things out again. I'll never see anyone else for a massage again. -
Emilys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I start a new job on Monday and as part of my pre-job preparations, I figured a cut and color were in order. A couple of my friends had gone to Carter, so I figured I'd try him. I originally wanted a pixie cut like I had last summer and to even out my color. He immediately pegged me as "low key" girl and said he thought a longer length worked better with my face & how motivated I'd be to maintain it. So he shortened it up in the back and gave it some shape. He was certainly right about my motivation to maintain a short cut, especially since my hair is naturally curly. The color proved to be the real problem. A few months ago I went a really dark, completely unnatural red. He about had a heart attack when he figured out what I'd done. To his credit, he spent a total of 3 hours fixing me up. It took 2 rounds of bleach and one round of color to get it back to a color he was happy with for my skin tone. He was continually patient with me and spent way more time that I would've expected sorting me out. I've gotten tons of compliments on the color. Even my dad who never notices anything commented on it. Thanks Carter! And I promise to never dye my own hair again. -
Emilys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I ended up seeing Micky for my partial brazilian today. She was fantastic. She was quick & understanding that it had been a while. While the process is never painless, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't hurt nearly as much as I'd anticipated. She was friendly & didn't seem to mind my endless babbling to take my mind off what was really going on. She also gave me advice on getting my underarms waxed. It's summer, why not? After looking at the prices, I decided to just go for the full body package (underarms, full leg, -zilian of your choice, & lip). I don't need the lip (thank God!), but the price is right. I've never had my legs or underarms waxed, but after this, it can't be nearly that bad. Guess we'll find out next month. I would highly recommend either Micky or Lane. They're awesome, professional, & make the process as easy as it can possibly be. I didn't cover this in my previous review, but I love the space. Parking can be a little bit of an issue, but the space itself is bright, clean, & relaxing. I enjoy it a lot more than walking around some dark spa. -

Emilys 5-Sterne-Beitrag: I've been seeing Dr. Gardner for several years. She's incredibly nice and thorough. She checks everywhere on your skin for problems. If she even suspects a problem, she'll ask for permission to biopsy right then and there. I only see her for annual skin checks, but she also does cosmetic work. Her staff is equally nice. She's treated several members of my family and always asks about them. I like that she takes the time to keep track of patients, whether it's just a normal scan or it develops into something more serious. I absolutely recommend her as a dermatologist. -
Emilys 4-Sterne-Beitrag: I'm hooked. I admit, I'm a bit of a hippie at heart. That's what 4 years at Agnes Scott will do to a girl. That aside, I first experienced their products when I was visiting a friend in St. Louis. I tried some of her body wash and decided I needed to get some of my own. This past weekend I finally got some disposable income, so I picked a few things up. I ended up with the Ocean Salt (yum!), a blackberry bath bomb, & Charity Pot lotion. They even threw in a free sample of the Curly Whurly shampoo for me to try. I used the bath bomb that night and I can see this turning into a weekly habit. I love the lotion as well. It's got a light scent which seems impossible to find for most body products. I work in an office where we're all pretty close together and one of my biggest pet peeves is people coming in drenched in lotion or perfume. The scent stays on enough for me to smell it, but not assault my co-workers. Plus, my skin feels awesome. I want to try some of their face products. I've heard great things about those as well. -
Emilys 4-Sterne-Beitrag: I really like these outlets. They've gotten tons of new stores that are right up my alley. Juicy Couture, J.Crew, Banana Republic, and Nine West had all been added since my last trip. I remember when there was next to nothing worth seeing up there and now it's got so much. I have a sad addiction to Juicy Couture purses and eBay was my fix for a while. Now I can actually see the purses before I buy them. All of the stuff was in good shape, unlike some outlet stores. The staff generally stays out of your way, which I appreciate. I can't stand someone hovering over me when I'm trying to shop. I know some stores encourage it (I work retail), but I'm the kind of person who prefers to look and then ask if I need help. The J.Crew outlet is fairly small, but they had some really great deals. The Banana Republic store is huge. They had all kinds of stuff. I ended up with a cashmere blend sweater, a knit sweater, and sweatpants all for $55. I wouldn't so much want to browse around here in the middle of summer, but on a boring fall Sunday, it's a fun place to spend an afternoon. -
Emilys 4-Sterne-Beitrag: First the good. I arrived early and they *gasp* actually started working on me about 5 minutes before my appointment time. They had some water and treats set out and didn't rush me while I was picking my polish. The decor is absolutely adorable as Carrie Neal said. I love the whole pink & white theme. I'm in love with the color I picked out for both fingers and toes (Russian Navy). I was going for something a little different and this fit the bill perfectly. Also, the owner was there which earns a ton of points for me. I feel like if you own a place, you better be where your customers can see you. Chris was definitely working hard to make everyone happy. They also honored the 10% discount without any hesitation, which ensured I kept my relaxed and happy state. The less good parts. The seats aren't that comfortable. I really prefer the big, fluffy spa chairs. This is cute, but I felt myself slip a couple of times and my butt was a bit sore when I got up to go from pedi to mani. It's just a bench with pillows and the pillows could use some fluffing. Or extra padding. Also, the nail tech made me bleed. In her defense, I didn't notice until she pointed it out. I have some pretty tough cuticles that require probably more than the usual effort to clean up. It's not like she slipped and sliced my finger open. This isn't the type of place you come on your lunch break for a quick mani pedi. This is the kind of place where you take your time, read a trashy magazine, and get pampered. Lucky for me, that's exactly what I was looking for. I can see myself going back to escape the grind and it's really convenient to my office.
