After my experience here I felt compelled to write about it. I work in a business that sends me across the country regularly but I always look forward to coming to Kansas City just because of this place. I was first introduced to Par Exsalonce by one of the locals I work with when she arranged for us to have an all day Spa experience. We were to have a massage, a facial, a manicure and pedicure and then finish the day by having our hair styled for a night out on the town. Now, I have been to salons and spas from Los Angeles to New York City so you can imagine my surprise when I had my best experience in the Midwest! They started me off with a warm foot soak in their relaxation room and gave me a cup of their hot aveda tea. I could hardly carry on a conversation with my friend I was so relaxed. My massage therapist came to retrieve me from the relaxation room and then we started the services for the day. I think I was drooling during the massage. By the time we went to have our hair styled, I was in a kind of daze. I was surprised to find that I wasn't done being pampered. I got a scalp and neck massage before the stylist shampooed my hair and a hand massage while she styled it. When I left, not only did I look my best, but I felt my best. The price was definitely worth the service and a great deal when I compare it to other salons of the same caliber on the West Coast. Every time I come back to Kansas City, I make sure to make a stop in here before I head back to the hustle and bustle of the coast.
Pros: Great atmostphere, very talented and polite staff
Cons: Can be hard to get in if appointment isn't made ahead of time
