bad permanent makeup

by patti57 at Citysearch

I had my eyebrows done with permanent make-up over a year ago. At the time, I tried to go with a lighter color, but Donna pressed for a darker color. I told her that the last thing I wanted was Joan Crawford eyebrows. She assured me that the brows would be dark at first, but that they would fade. Well, guess what, they didn't fade, and I got Joan Crawford eyebrows. Now I'm facing expensive and painful laser treatments to lighten them.

• Cons: pushed to go too dark

From Hot Mess to Hotness

by HeatherNoel at Citysearch

Since moving to the Lansdale area about two years ago, I was in search of a new salon as good as the one I went to for over 10 yrs. (which was now too far for me to travel). So before arriving on Rapunzel’s, I had first done some online research and upon reading other reviews of the salon, I decided to give it a shot and called.

After speaking with the front desk girl and giving the general background on my hair, explaining that since having a child a year ago, I had begun coloring it myself (box color) and told her I was looking to eventually go lighter than what I had at that point (very dark brown), Megan was recommended to me.

I came somewhat equipped with old pictures from what my hair used to look like (blonde) and also came with a picture from a magazine for what I wanted to go along the lines of with new highlights, I still believed my existing hair color was a challenge. First let me say that Megan was awesome in knowing exactly how to tackle things. Her precision in foil placement as well as the color/toner was by far the best. Everything was so precisely done. I walked in the salon not looking so hot, but I walked out with beautiful hair/highlights. I've already received a few compliments and people asking me who did my highlights.

From the people at the front desk, to the other stylists, everyone seemed so down-to-earth and friendly. It’s weird that a high end salon with such experienced technicians are located practically right in my backyard. I'll definitely be returning and I imagine will be a future loyal client.

• Pros: experienced colorists, friendly, great parking
• Cons: a bit pricey, but probably worth it

There's a reason why Rapunzel's is voted BEST!

by spabiotch at Citysearch

At Rapunzel's, everyone cares about you, and it's genuine. Nobody tries to sell you things you don't need, nobody is snobby like at a lot of Day Spas, (except one girl) and they really treat their clientele like you are the reason why their job exists. The front desk staff is great, especially Corina. She is friendly and helpful and always has a beautiful smile on her face. Megan is the queen of color. Krista is the queen of facials. Lori is the queen of Reflexology, Massage & the Vichy Shower. You have to go to all these girls. They will make you look and feel beautiful.

• Pros: Corina, Megan, Krista and Lori
• Cons: Roxanne. She is very snobby, opinionated and thinks she knows everything.
