Amazing retreat

by Karamel11

Me and my mom came here for their spa week specials. I decided to get the 50min facial and my mom got the 50 min exfoliation. Upon entering we were given a locker which had sandals, a robe, a wrap and a towel. The steam room and showers were amazing...unfortunately, the sauna was out of order. We hung out in their departure lounge for a few minutes before our treatment. They had plenty of refreshments including: walnuts, almonds, trail mix, veggies and fruit. The decor of the lounge was extremely tranquil. There was a beautiful waterfall in the lounge too.... I almost forgot I was in the heart of the city. The facial was great... and my face felt amazing. The therapist explained everything to before starting the treatment and was very informative. They did the extraction for an extra $40 which was well worth it. My skin was so smooth and hydrated after the treatment My mom told me her body scrub was very invigorating and it included a mini facial. Following our treatment we relaxed in the departure lounge while sipping some tea and snacks. The spa has a no tipping policy... So our treatment were very affordable. I will definitely be back to visit this spa very soon.

• Pros: Friendly staff, Great refreshments, Serene relaxation lounge
• Cons: A little pricey

GREAT salon!

by gabster83

My inital visit to this salon was for a 'brazilian' mani and pedi...I have to say that, although costly, my manicure lasted weeks! I then began using the salon services. I have to say Joseph, colorist, is AMAZING!!! My hair had about 4 different colors in it when I first started seeing him! Without dying my hair one color and doing highlights all over again he was able to get my hair color under control. Robert cut my hair and I got compliments on my hair while WEARING A HAT! Yes, a hat. My most recent visit to this salon was in August . Robert was occupied so I cut my hair with William Lemos. I have to say I've never been so happy with my haircut than when William cut it! I am sadden to report William is no longer with Devachan Salon. Ladies I know how hard it is to find a great stylist and it's an unsettling feeling to sit in a chair and trust a stranger with your hair....That's why I ask whoever is reading this review if you have ANY information as to where William is now, please let me know. He is absolutely amazing and I'd follow him to just about anywhere. If you go to this salon I HIGHLY recommend Joseph as a colorist and Robert for a cut.

• Pros: trendy
• Cons: None

THE WORST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE.... SHOULD BE NO STARS!

by veronicac

Absolutely The WORST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE.

This haircut is an absolute mess.

It's f'd up in soo many ways it's unbelievable.

One side is completley different than the other. Regardless there are not two hairs on my head that are the same length. It is a random crazy mess but they leave soo much conditioner and product in your hair that when you walk out of the salon you have no idea what is going on with the cut. I have waited a year of growing my hair out to get cut again and I am deva-stated at how screwed up my hair is.

It needs to be recut immediately. This "technique" of theirs is just wrong. Look at pictures of Lorraine Massey's hair... This style is straight out of the 80's and that is exactly what you look like when you leave. You wash out the product and you look like a poodle on Cr@ck.

My friends were calling me Jeri-Curl when I met them after my Devachan appointment!!

Please stay away. Luciana was my stylist and she has got to be the single most arrogant person that has ever touched my head..and I've been to them all i.e. Bumble & Bumble, Roy Tealuck etc. I would've done better randomly chopping my hair myself. When I called to complain they gave me the run around, promised a manager would call me and no-one ever did!! I Want my money back.

P.S. I suspect that LUCIANA is leaving her own reviews, all of her reviews use all caps on her name. Coincidence?

• Pros: none
• Cons: Ruined my hair
