Spa services at Circe are always a treat! The services themselves are relaxing and rejuvenating and the staff goes out of their way to make sure there are no "administrative" glitches to "harsh the mellow." :)

I have been going to Circe of Alexandria for years because they always give the best service. Their staff is extremely professional and I truly feel pampered every time I go. Once in a while I have tried other salons but this one is the best.

I've had my hair colored for 15 years now and have never had a worse outcome than at this salon. I went in as a brunette with partial blond highlights and came out as a much darker brunette with one 2-inch wide blond band at the front of my head. No exaggeration - I'm going to post a photo if I can find it. I even took in pictures of the highlights I wanted! I know it's all about communication, but how could anyone manage that kind of a difference? I think it partly had to do with the fact that the stylist left to get dinner while my color processed, and it over processed. I was a little freaked out (which takes a lot) and they offered to redo my color if I wasn't satisfied and commented that maybe I just needed to get used to it. The receptionist offered that SHE liked it, and didn't see what the problem was. The problem was that I didn't?!! They just seem out of touch. Since it was near closing time on a Sunday, I would need to reschedule for another time. I tried to reschedule, but was never able to suggest a time that worked for me and was convenient for the stylist. It's a beautiful salon in a great location, and I really wanted to like it. Good luck.

For what you get, the prices here are ridiculously high. My service was just red all-over color. This is typically about $60-100. However, this place charged me $200, without giving me any idea that it was going to be this high. It looked just as if I would have done it myself out of a box... but of course, I paid it. The girl assured me that the next time I come back it was going to be considerably cheaper because all I would get was my roots. So, I went back 6 weeks later, as instructed, assuming that it was going to be "considerably cheaper." The cost was $190 (i.e. $10 cheaper), and the color looked terrible... it wasn't even red... it was dark brown. I expressed my disatisfaction, and they just kept telling me that it "looked really good." For a place that is supposed to be known for its coloring techniques, I expected something better than average. I will never be going back here. Not worth it.

My stylist, Julia, does beautiful work. Never fails to keep my hair looking silky and healthy.
