There's a reason I've been a client of this stylist for 12+ years: his is a first class hair salon in every way. Joe always provides an excellent cut & color at a reasonable price, is very personable and professional, and his shop is charming. As other reviewers have stated, I'm frequently complimented on my hair in the days following each visit. Joe definitely "knows his stuff," and I've come to value and trust both his skills and opinions when thinking about "changing things up" with color or the style of my cut. In my experience, Joe goes out of his way to accommodate his clients and is flexible where his schedule permits while also being extremely reliable; in more than a dozen years of monthly service, he's asked that I reschedule just once (due to illness), well in advance of our appointment. Some reviewers have expressed concern about the size and cleanliness of the shop, but I disagree. The shop may seem small compared to your typical mall salon (with its crowded waiting area and long row of chairs, not to mention the attendant noise and bustle), but it is just the right size for the kind of tasteful, personal experience Joe provides. The shop is stylishly well appointed and the atmosphere relaxing while not without its idiosyncratic charms; I love the snow dome collection! Ruth writes of an overflowing "garbage can" but there is simply a wastebasket tucked beneath the sink, and I've never felt the space was unclean or messy. In fact, I would recommend a visit to www.genrehairstudio.com, which features photos that truly reflect the quality and character of the shop. In short, there is nothing generic about Genre Hair Studio, and it is highly recommended.

Hi - I believe the Rejuvenation Spa is the number one Spa in Madison. I've visited a handful of others and they don't even come close or compare to the professional environment and expertise of their staff.
I've had numerous massages (including the hydrotherm preganancy massage - absolutely amazazing), pedicure, manicure, and hairstyling for a wedding.
Every single service and professional provider was phenomenal. I would recommned this spa to anyone.
Even the shower experience is out of this world. You are able to try so many of the aveda products and the shower has 3 additional shower head sin the wall to provide an all over relaxing exerperience.
I will continue to receive services here for a long time.

Pros: Massages - especially Hydrotherm

Let me start with a caveat. I'm a poor college student - my haircut/hairstyle is modest.
Pros:
1. the staff is professional -- there is none of that constant inter-staff chitter-chatter.
2. they are skilled -- this is not an all-clipper cut place.
3. the cutting stations are somewhat walled off from each other, so you have a feeling of privacy and calm
4. Even though I come in very infrequently, my stylist (DEAN) remembers me each time and recalls what he did the last time and re-evaluates what i should get.
Some cons:
1. Not the cheapest place for a college student. I pay around $23 for quite a plain cut.
2. I find that I am kept waiting a good 10-20 minutes despite having an appointment,
That said, the pros above heavily outweigh the cons. i'm not going anywhere else!
Pros: professional staff, skilled staff, relaxed atmosphere
Cons: pricy for a student

I, too, followed Sydney from Sojo Blau where I stumbled upon him when looking for a salon in Madison. In fact, the first day I met him he had just received the news that Sojo Blau's loft was closing...and had already set up his new arrangement at Studio Quest. I was soon to discover there was a reason he was only displaced for a matter of hours. I was looking for a new stylist who was in tune with that magic combination of knowing modern trends and also having the ability to know how to fashion that trend into what is most flattering to your face and workable for your hair type.
The first time I sat in Sydney's chair, I told him what 2 styles I was considering. He listened to me, then told me that he did not think I would be happy with one of the hairstyles I had in mind because of the way I was dressed and the way I presented myself...and proceeded to interpret what he perceived as my style into the best haircut I have ever had. It was totally me and he knew it before I did. After that first cut, I trusted him implicitly and now leave the decisions up to him knowing he will do what best flatters and suits me. He is a talented artist as well as a delightful person who makes you feel as if you are having lunch with a fun friend. He takes his time and you leave with not only amazing hair but with the realization that you have forgotten what you had been stressed about at the start of your day. Sydney is not only a talented artist but a treasure of a person.

I have gone to Ananda at Hilldale several times for spa services and have been very impressed. The massages and facials have always been excellent and very reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend them! The atmosphere is very calming and quiet and the facialist and massage therapist took the time to talk to me about my specific needs.
I have only had one hair cut there and it was very good- although it was a basic cut and no color, so I can't speak to that. The price was very reasonable and the stylist did a good job.

This shop was great, large selection of bridal and bridesmaid gowns! The staff is so nice and helpful. The dresses are out to see for yourself and you get to pick the dresses you want to try on. Not given dresses that a salesclerk thinks would look good on you and be over priced. The dresses as all reasonbably priced for any budget. Their services like alterations are great. I liked this store because they are not pushy like some of the other stores. The atomsphere is very comfortable there. I recommend this shop to everyone who wants a wonderful experience in planning their wedding. Also, wonderful tuxedo area for my groom and groommen.

Studio Z Tan Spa is an awesome place that offers the best of services. Getting your head messaged while shampooing is awesome and the quality of the hair products is beyond good. I also tan there and there tanning beds are very good quality, offering different levels of tanning beds for the ultimate tanning experience. The staff there is so friendly and they really care about you and how you feel. Before you leave the place they always make sure you are 100% satisfied. I would recommend it to everyone- males and females. I personally go to Chelsea as a hairdresser and she is great, but they all are as well.

I usually make my appointments ahead, but I've always had pleasant experiences with Fancy Nails. They're all friends at the store, which I really enjoy. Even though I only come in every once and a while, they usually remember me. I got my mani and pedi for my wedding there and they were very, very helpful. Don't expect gushing, midwestern friendliness. They can be brisk in their work. The store is beautiful, they do great work that lasts, and everything is very sanitary (which is the most important of all!).

We had an organized event here with my playgroup. The staff was excellent. The facility was excellent. It is a gymnastics pratice facility. There is one large room, and 99% of the areas in this room are baby/toddler safe. The floors are all padded, so no need to worry about children falling. Lots of room to run and climb. The only downfall I can think of is that they are a little pricey for a 60 minute session. We paid $6.00 per child. And I think we got a group rate. Worth the money though as an occasional event.
PROS: Excellent staff, Excellent Facility
CONS: Prices
