I went to Kalista a few times and had good experiences the first couple of times. I had a great hairstylist, who gave me the best cut I had gotten in a long time. The atmosphere is very relaxed and everyone is super nice. So after a couple good experiences, I decided to book my wedding party there. However, I didn't have the experience I had expected. To start off with, I had to call them several times to get things arranged for my wedding party. I called and got different answer, or someone who didn't know what I was talking about. It was a bit frustrating, but I was relieved when a receptionist finally called me and said things were taken care of. Then, the day of the wedding, they did not seem to be prepared for us. I don't know if something happened, but it seemed very unorganized. I had requested the lash extension bundles, as well as my hair, so I was taken into a room to have my lashes done. I had never had extensions before, and assumed she was doing what I had asked for, so imagine my surprise when I went to check out and was charged $150. But I didn't say anything because I had assumed they would last awhile and we were in a hurry to leave. However, they started falling off when I went to put my makeup on and had fallen off completely by the next morning. Then when it finally was time for me to get my hair done, it was rushed and was nothing like what I had wanted. I was told I couldn't have a run through of my hair prior to the wedding, but wasn't worried because my stylist said she understood what I wanted. I didn't say anything because I didn't have time to fix it., as she didn't finish until 15 minutes before we had to leave, and one of my bridesmaids still hadn't had her hair done. I left there not feeling like a beautiful bride, but just disappointed and worried about where I was going to get that extra $100 I hadn't planned for. Even though I really liked the job she did cutting my hair, I won't be going back after my wedding day experience.

Pros: great hair cut, atmosphere, friendly staff

Cons: inconsistant

My friend and I went last weekend for pedicures at Kalista. The girls who worked on us were great. Super nice and talkative, and did a great job on our feet. One of them did some super cute nail art for us. I am glad that we were able to get our feet done at the same time in the same room so we could visit, but I am not a big fan of the couch that we sat on during the pedicure. It wasn't very comfortable, and at other places I've had a massage chair that is much more appealing. The couch seats 3 people, and another woman came back for a pedicure at the same time we were there. She talked with us and we all had a great time. I didn't mind her being in on our conversation at all, but I could see how that could be a problem for someone else if they wanted to relax and have it quiet and there was a couple of girls like us that came together and want to talk. While we were getting our pedicures, my daughter was getting her bangs colored and a trim. Her stylist did a great job. It is also very nice that they give a 15% off coupon for first timers.

Pros: Nice people, cute place

Cons: uncomfortable couch for pedicures, not private for people who want it quiet

Response from this business

Hello,
Posted on 07/17/2008
Thank you for the comments! We understand that people like the massage chairs however they are also extremely unsanitary, this is why we have yet to get them. We will put a lot of thought to what we can do to make it more comfortable for everyone. We have had people love the set us so it is hard to decide what to really do. Thank you again for all your awesome feedback.
