Top Shop Salon Spa

Sandy squeezed my daughter in for a blow and go. They advertise as a blow salon but it’s really a full service shop. The shampoo and blow dry was 25.00 which is a great price. Stephanie spent almost an hour on my daughter. My daughter has almost super curly hair, super long. She blew it dry then flat ironed it. I’d recommend Stephanie for a blow out for sure. The place is clean and lots of places to sit and tons of magazines while you wait.

Jen Deperrio is the best. I just started going to her from the recommendation of a friend and couldn’t be happier. I even have started taking my 16 yr old daughter who doesn’t usually like «change». She loves her hair and she was very comfortable with Jen. The salon offers everything from massage to nails to wax and hair. One stop shop, can’t wait to try other services.

The hairdresser– Vanya is extremely rough in handling hair. She explains this is because she has her own style of cutting. This may be because she is in a rush to get to her other client that is waiting or because I asked her to cut a little more. I did not feel comfortable with letting her know that I was unhappy with her work even if it was fixable.
Website is misleading with prices so call and ask first or just tack on another $ 10 – 20 to the service… and they would prefer to tell you that it’s cash or check only. So bring cash. I recommend that you don’t go at all.

So after moving to Worcester, I was on a quest to find a good place to get a wax. I’ve tried a few places (see my reviews on St. Cyr and Bellisimo). After posting my reviews, I got an email from someone at Top Shop. I thought that was GREAT! I love hearing about new places via Unilocal.So I decided to go check it out.
I made an appointment and arrived about 5 minutes before my appointment time. When I got there, the lady at the desk was having a social conversation with some guy. She saw me walk in, but continued her conversation while I waited. I waited a few minutes until she finally turned to me and asked what I was there for. Now, I don’t know about other ladies, but I don’t exactly want to announce that I’m here for a wax in front of a guy. That’s private stuff! Unfortunately, she didn’t really give me a choice, so embarrassed, I quietly said that I was there for a wax. She didn’t hear me so she made me repeat it! Eek! Talk about humiliating.
So that’s just the beginning! When I go for a wax, I’m usually in and out in 15 minutes or less. They had me wait in their little waiting area since the lady wasn’t ready for me yet. It was nice because the receptionist offered me some food and drinks. So I looked at some magazines and snacked on some pastries. I didn’t think I’d be waiting for long. Boy, was I wrong. I waited for 45 minutes, which is absolutely unacceptable. I had an appointment!
So when it was FINALLY my turn, I got to the back where they do the spa treatments, and I had to fill out paperwork! Because I didn’t have any time to fill it out in the last 45 minutes.
Anyway, the actual waxing was very good, and the lady was nice and very apologetic for the wait. The price was decent. If the service and wait hadn’t been so awful, I might have stopped my search for a good waxing place. However, I don’t want to wait 45 minutes every time I want a wax. Sorry Top Shop, you lost my business.
