Best

My friend and I had a great day at Kalista. The ambiance is great and the service was wonderful. I would recommend and will be going back.

Worst

In February I made my first visit to Kalista spa and had the bundle lashes put on for a Vegas trip. I told the lady doing it that this was a special trip and whatever she did, I l...

oops! 7/28/2008

Oops! Please disregard my previous rant about the terrible pedicure that I received. I got this salon mixed up with the one a few blocks away next to Staccato Gelato. I don't know anything about Kalista except that I have seen it and would love to try it out. Sorry! more

The Good and The Bad 7/20/2008

I went to Kalista a few times and had good experiences the first couple of times. I had a great hairstylist, who gave me the best cut I had gotten in a long time. The atmosphere is very relaxed and everyone is super nice. So after a couple good experiences, I decided to book my wedding party there. However, I didn't have the experience I had expected. To start off with, I had to call them several times to get things arranged for my wedding party. I called and got different answer, or someone who didn't know what I was talking about. It was a bit frustrating, but I was relieved when a receptionist finally called me and said things were taken care of. Then, the day of the wedding, they did not seem to be prepared for us. I don't know if something happened, but it seemed very unorganized. I had requested the lash extension bundles, as well as my hair, so I was taken into a room to have my lashes done. I had never had extensions before, and assumed she was doing what I had asked for, so imagine my surprise when I went to check out and was charged $150. But I didn't say anything because I had assumed they would last awhile and we were in a hurry to leave. However, they started falling off when I went to put my makeup on and had fallen off completely by the next morning. Then when it finally was time for me to get my hair done, it was rushed and was nothing like what I had wanted. I was told I couldn't have a run through of my hair prior to the wedding, but wasn't worried because my stylist said she understood what I wanted. I didn't say anything because I didn't have time to fix it., as she didn't finish until 15 minutes before we had to leave, and one of my bridesmaids still hadn't had her hair done. I left there not feeling like a beautiful bride, but just disappointed and worried about where I was going to get that extra $100 I hadn't planned for. Even though I really liked the job she did cutting my hair, I won't be going back after my wedding day experience. Pros: great hair cut, atmosphere, friendly staff Cons: inconsistant more

Great atmosphere/Great people 7/16/2008

My friend and I went last weekend for pedicures at Kalista. The girls who worked on us were great. Super nice and talkative, and did a great job on our feet. One of them did some super cute nail art for us. I am glad that we were able to get our feet done at the same time in the same room so we could visit, but I am not a big fan of the couch that we sat on during the pedicure. It wasn't very comfortable, and at other places I've had a massage chair that is much more appealing. The couch seats 3 people, and another woman came back for a pedicure at the same time we were there. She talked with us and we all had a great time. I didn't mind her being in on our conversation at all, but I could see how that could be a problem for someone else if they wanted to relax and have it quiet and there was a couple of girls like us that came together and want to talk. While we were getting our pedicures, my daughter was getting her bangs colored and a trim. Her stylist did a great job. It is also very nice that they give a 15% off coupon for first timers. Pros: Nice people, cute place Cons: uncomfortable couch for pedicures, not private for people who want it quiet more

Fantastic Salon... website not so much 7/13/2008

This salon/Spa is great at what it does. The ambiance is amazing! The staff here is super friendly and they know what they are doing! one gripe that has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the services, is the website. Not at all user friendly and kind of all over the place. It looks more like a teenager's myspace page than a website for an upscale salon. This establishment is very professional, but you really wouldn't be able to tell that from a quick visit to the website. My advice would be to hire someone to build you a professional looking website. Something that fits the screen without having to scroll all over the place, Something that is neat, organized and SPELL CHECKED. I know I probably sound very stuffy right now but honestly I have visited the site many times to learn about the services performed and I'm sure everyone else has as well and it is just too much of a task to get the information you need from it. I just want you guys to get the respect you deserve from outsiders looking in. I have a feeling that you will get more website traffic, more new clients, and your current clientele will have a great resource to utilize to obtain information. more

Friendly and comfortable 7/9/2008

All of my experiences at Kalista have been pleasant, and my expectations have generally been met or exceeded. I have been there several times over the last couple years for waxing and pedicures. I agree that the wait can be a bit obnoxious, but not something entirely unexpected. One of my best experiences was when a group of my friends went to get pedicures for a wedding. The ladies went and got pizza for us while we hung out. That was entirely unexpected and an example of good customer care. I don't have a lot of spa experience, but I appreciate the unpretentious atmosphere (albeit, the decor is a bit tacky, but it's comfortable) and friendly nature of most of the employees I have encountered. Pros: Satisfying service, good location Cons: Tacky decor, cluttered space more

Bad Wax 7/4/2008

I was recently waxed and come to find out, she ripped most of the hairs off......so now half has grown back with in a week! Very poorly done and I am very disapointed. Plus, the scheduling was messed up and had to wait 45 min. The salon environment was pretty nice and the receptionist was very nice. Pros: Nice receptionist Cons: Waxing quality more

Soooooo I LOVE THIS SALON!!!! 7/2/2008

I have been a client for about 5 years now and I travel from newport to get my extensions done and I will tell you this salon is great! I have wanted to get different extesions everytime and KIM takes awesome care of me. She has taken me from dark to blond as well and it has been an all day process because she does not want to hurt my hair and I actually loved the blond, but missed being red so we went back. Long story is that they are great! I would never travel as far as I do for just anyone.She is very attentive to my wants and needs and always listen, plus her staff is friendly and helpful. I love Kalista! Go and see for yourself and you will too! You will not be disappointed! Pros: everything! Cons: I can't live there! It's cozy! more

Horrible extensions and more 7/1/2008

I was a client up untill January. I had jet black hair and was interested in going blonde. Kim told me no problem she could bleach my hair to blonde in one day. I was very excited since I had never had blonde hair before I had no idea what kind of process it was to get jet black hair to blonde. Now I know that something like that does not take a few hours but rather you should slowly grow the hair out and it is really a very long process. Well Kim out a level 30 bleach on my hair and within two hours my hair had melted out! I looked like I had cemo. Kim had to have me go out the back door so no one would see what happened to me. My head had sores on it and I only had a few tuffs of hair here and there on my scalp. To make things worse I had just gotten married and my husband and I were flying cross country the next day for me to meet his family for the first time! I was horrified. My husband and I had to reschedule our flight coasting us a few hundred and I have had to wear a wig for the past 7 months while my hair has slowly grown back. To make matters worse a couple months later Kim tried to put extensions in but my hair was just way too short and it looked horrible, she charged me $1,200 even though she melted my hair out. I felt even worse when she turned around and told the other stylists that I asked her to do a high level of bleach and I wanted her to keep the bleach in longer, that's a lie. I would never ask to have my hair melt out like that and I don't feel anywhere near compensated for what happened to me. Besides that I have to agree with other peoples reviews about the gossiping, aapointments starting sometimes 1/2 late and very bad extensions. This is not a salon I would ever recommend. Cons: service, staff and value more

pretty place, but not very comfortable and a few scheduling flaws.... 6/30/2008

I came in for a pedicure with my daughter, I was a bit surprised because I was ""bumped"" due to someone calling in for an appointment that had a credit card. I don't really like to have my credit card information on file and don't find it necessary, although policies are policies I didn't think i would lose my appointment time. We decided to come in at a later time and it was a really nice atmosphere great ambiance, but when we went for our pedicure we waited over 30 minutes and the ""spa Pedicure"" space was cramped and uncomfortable, for a 50$ pedicure I was disappointed, I've gone and gotten 25$ pedicures and gotten wine and an hour massage. Pros: beautiful place Cons: no value for the service more

I'm recomending Kalista to others! 6/23/2008

I will start off by saying that I had not previously had much exposure to the beauty of salon treatments before I came to Kalista's. There was the occasional manicure or pedicure, perhaps a massage treatment here or there, but not somewhere that I had religiously gone to for salon services. Well, I've had my eyebrows done twice now, and even my lip (! an option I hadn't even considered at the first treatment!), and intend to continue going. I was scared stiff about getting waxed, and had managed to make it 27 years without one so I told my friend if she wanted the unibrow to go away she would have to pick a darn good salon, and she did! Yeah Kalista's! You rock! more

know before you go 6/8/2008

the prices are spendy but the ""spa"" is kooky. For pedicures there are no normal facilities. You're sitting on an uncomfortable day bed, your feet are in a bowl of water they they've had to bring out from the back, there's no where to put your feet when you take them out of the bowl. You have to kind of hold your foot up while the pedicure is being done, it's dimly lit and you can't really tell what's going on with your feet. I expected more from a top rated spa with top prices. The quality of the pedicure I received was about at $20 job at the most, not $35. Pros: Parking Cons: Value more

Best Haircut 6/6/2008

The atmosphere is amazing, it's really calm, and relaxing. I just got my haircut today and I loved it. After tons of horrible haircuts, I finally found a place I will be a regular at. The employees are really friendly and listen to what you want instead of just pretending. more

Best hair styling and coloring we've had yet! 5/23/2008

My daughter got highlights and a wonderful razor styled cut. At school that following Monday, she could not count how many people complimented her. Might have been a bit on the spendy side, but worth every dime! We've had color and cuts before (lots of them) and for the money, this service was a four star. The stylist was able to really work with my daughter's hair, her lifestyle, her facial features and color. All in all, one of the absolute best experiences she has ever had! Pros: Service! more

GREAT Brazilian Wax! 2/23/2008

I decided to get a brazilian wax at this salon after reading their reviews and seeing their website on Myspace. I saw Jessica. I have been shaving and only had one brazilian wax previously. Let me tell you! I was SOOO nervous coming in because my first one was probably the most painful experience ever!! Jessica made me feel very welcome and compared to my last experience it's almost as if I did not feel a thing! My eyebrow wax hurt more than my experience with Jessica! Pros: Pricing, Customer Service, Flexible ""service"" hours Cons: Limited street parking, need a credit card to reserve appointments more

Fastest brazillian wax with the least pain!!! 2/19/2008

I have had my fair share of brazillians, (as my mother used to own a spa and salon), and they usually range from the horrendous to the long and uncomfortable. I had my appointment with Jessica at Kalista, and not only did she only take about 17 minutes to do the wax, it was almost painless!! I think it must be a mix of the wax they use and the expertise of Jessica. I have never before written any review on anything, though I use city-search frequently, but I was soooo impressed, I just had to! Also, the decor of the place is just freaking incredible! Beautiful and comfortable and exotic all at once. I loved the little touches like hand towels instead of paper, huge herbal tea and coffee selections, bon bons put out for the customers.. there is too much to tell about this place. I will not go anywhere else now. This is exactly what a day spa should be like. Pros: EVERYTHING about this place is beautiful, awesome staff, value & service. more

Great Pedicures and Manicures! 2/18/2008

I went there on my birthday with a friend we got manicures and pedicures and they were great. The gal I had was so sweet and detailed. We were happy with almost everything. The only thing was it was a little chilly in the room we were getting our pedicures and manicures. Also the decor is a little funky, like there was a little too much craft warehouse influence. But overall everyone was super nice and my pedicure lasted forever! Pros: Great service and nice people Cons: ambience and decor more

Awesome atmosphere! Love that they support no ""sleep"" foundation 1/30/2008

my dog died of 15years and i chose to go to kalsita because they believed in supporting the no sleep (you can not use the K word) foundations. I walked in and it was amazing! I got a massage that was to die for. I loved the staff they were so friendly and nice to be around. Never have i ever experienced a place like this. The decor is beautiful and warm. I actually am writing a review because i noticed what others had to say about the way this place looked. it is not at all what is described in the reviews. I would recommend this to anyone. Its a dreamy place to go to. more

Nice girls, not so nice lashes 1/14/2008

I got my lashes done at Kalista Salon because they were the first one that popped up when I went online. The girl that put them on was really nice, but she doesn't do a very good job putting on lash extensions. Mine itched really bad and fell off in clumps, taking most of my natural lashes with them. I paid for individual lashes, but the lashes that were coming off were definitely small clumps of lashes. Finally all of them have come off and my lashes are returning back to normal. Overall, the girls were nice, but the service was totally horrible and a big waste of money, time, and nautral lashes. Pros: Nice girls Cons: Really bad lashes more
