   5 stars aren't enough to adequately express how fabulous the experience of a facial by Carla is. One session transformed my skin from dull and lifeless to glowing. I loved... read more being in her spa...the music, lighting, everything was beyond relaxing. Especially the massage that was part of the Signature Facial. It was all so relaxing yet invigorating and i felt as though i had been on vacation when i left. It changed my entire attitude about myself and i am going to return at least once a month. This experience was thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the money.

   I can't speak about anyone but Carla, but I can go on and on and on about how much I love Carla.

It all started back in 2004 or so. I... read more desperately needed to deal with my eyebrows. I didn't know where to turn, so I randomly picked a place close by. That place: NVS.

Carla took one look at my eyebrows and knew exactly what she needed to do. The rest is history. 

Carla has continued to deal with my eyebrows, but she earned my trust enough to start giving me facials. Many times a year, I surrender myself to her expertise while she digs the most horrible things out of my face. For a few months after I see Carla, my face looks like that of a young Cindy Crawford or Grace Jones. It's incredible. Also, though: she's super nice and she makes me laugh. 

No matter what, I'll never stop going to Carla. Even if she tries to get out of the business or something, I'll track her down and insist she dig more junk out of my face. She'll be doing facials on my children and their children and their children. 

(but not any other children, because children don't need facials.)

   This review is long overdue. My hair was a wirey mess and then I found Randy! He gave me a keratin treatment that transformed my hair. I am still in... read more awe. In addition to what he did for my hair, he was super friendly and fun to talk to. I will definitely return and highly recommend him!! The salon also has a chill and friendly vibe.
