Terra del Sol was not my first choice when it came to getting a haircut in the Portland area. I originally thought they were just a spa that catered to expensive women. But many rave reviews about their employees, atmosphere and overall business led me to them. What’s more, after receiving what can only be described as the greatest haircut of my life, I can think of no other business I will ever go to. I recently moved into the area after spending the previous four years visiting just one hair specialist whom I thought to be irreplaceable.
Oh, how wrong I was. I plan on returning every three to four weeks! I was also recently gifted a massage gift certificate – if the masseuse is anything like the woman who cut my hair, I am most certainly in for an unparalleled treat!
Now, after seeing some of the not-so-positive reviews on this site I am incredibly perplexed. Just because a building used to be utilized for something else in the past means it must stay that way? In today's real estate market (especially in larger cities!) it is simply not feasible to rip down a perfectly sound building just to rebuild. I could think of nothing better to cleanse the bad memories of a building than by creating a place where people go to feel better.
Conversely, some of these “reviewers” appear to be ex-employees. They claim to know other employees who show disdain toward their (former) employee? Perhaps they were let go (much like I can only assume the “review”-writers were) because they failed to meet the high standards an upper-echelon spa like this requires?
Needless to say, they're really going out of your way to denounce such a respected, reputable and one of my favorite businesses in the Portland area. I take it personally when people lie about something I love. I can only assume these are disgruntled former employees.
Pros: great staff, awesome service, attention to detail
Cons: pricey
