Embrace Salon & Spa — Local services in Crescent City

Joshanna is a gem! She's a delightful, licensed professional who gets amazing results at everything she does! I've been going to her for two years for all my hair needs and mani-pedis and am looking into other services she offers at Embrace Salon. I have friends who trust Joshanna to keep their brows and eyelashes looking amazing.

Every time I go I feel like it's my spa getaway time to relax, be pampered, and enjoy the big city services in our home-town-friendly atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, this is not what you think of when I say small town hair salon...my daughter who has lived in Boston, Chicago, Seattle, and San Fran goes here when she is in town and is blown away by the high level and quality of services, the modern and creative setting, plus the wide array of products for sale (she stocked up on her favorites).

I have to compliment Embrace Salon on their booking system and communications. In my past I've had very disappointing experiences elsewhere with miscommunications, no-shows by the hairdresser and my appointments not recorded in the book. At Embrace I know immediately that my appointments are confirmed and I've never experienced a no-show or more than a couple minutes wait.

I highly recommend Joshanna at Embrace Salon & Spa. She cares deeply about her profession and her...

I am not the type to leave reviews even if I had a bad experience somewhere, but I am very aggravated. This place is extremely overpriced for bare minimum service, I had an appointment for a full set of lashes, The lady was running late which was fine. Once she arrived we started mapping out the lashes. My appointment was at 10am, she finished ONE eye at 3:00. I had a headache from laying down for so long. I'm not an expert but it shouldn't take 5-6 hours to complete ONE eye unless you're a newbie. She told me she's been doing lashes for 2 years. She's clearly in the wrong department. I ended up asking her to dissolve the lashes so I can leave. I was so disappointed. I requested a day off from work so I can get my lashes done. I work full time and I'm always busy. She then asked if I can come back tomorrow to finish the other eye. Horrible experience. I walked out with residue on my eyelashes. I will be calling to file a complaint. Don't get your...

My partner and I went to get a deep tissue massage... what we left with was being covered in oil, we were gently rubbed... more like a Swedish Sensual Massage (not at all deep tissue). I left feeling more tense then when I started the massage. I've had a lot of massages and this is not deep tissue. My massage therapist, Derrak was talking about how great he is at doing massages during my massage when all I wanted was some peace and quiet. Do not get a massage here. You're paying to feel violated. Plus the owner is really rude and the customer service...
