Personal services: My “Where to go for the ‘little’ luxuries in life” post!

In the last 24 hours I’ve been asked once who does my hair (I’m asked that at least once a week) twice where I get my eyebrows done and three times where I get my nails done.  I figure that the easiest way to share my service professionals with my ‘peeps’, is by blogging about it (cause I know y’all read my blog every. single. day!!)

For me, it’s about striking a fine balance, between reasonable pricing, good service and friendly people who I am comfortable with and who know me and what I like, so I don’t mind paying a little more sometimes, for a standard of service that I’m happy with.

Eyebrows

Aisha’s Salon & Spa (Sugar Land)
2448 Settlers Way Boulevard, Sugar Land, TX 77479
Phone: (281) 313-0455

For my eyebrows, I have taken a shine to threading since we moved here to Houston.  I started going to Aisha’s salon on Settlers way in December of 2010 (God bless Yelp! For keeping track of when I review things!)

I pay $7 for eyebrow threading and every couple months, I pay an extra whopping $3 for upper lip threading.

This, in case you haven’t gathered, for Houston especially is cheap as chips.  I have never had to wait very long (most of the time I walk in and right up to a chair), I have pretty much had everyone who works there take a turn at my eyebrows and I’ve never been unhappy and it’s pretty close to my house, though for a list of their other locations, click here.

Nails

NaturaBella

5418 HWY 6 Ste. 213
Missouri City, Texas 77459

Phone: 281. 499.9780

I’ve only recently discovered this place, on the recommendation of a friend of mine.  But I’m already regretting not having found this before now.  Evon took her time (though was still pretty quick) and did an excellent job, her prices are very reasonable, she’s very friendly and the salon is gorgeous, I also loved the caffeine free diet coke!!!!!

A basic, express manicure with shellac will set you back $25 (before tip) which, again, is pretty darn reasonable for the Houston area!  I’ll be back for sure!!

For those of you who are still in the dark about who does my hair, what rock have you been living under? Angel has been doing my hair for well over a year now, I met her when she was still in Regency beauty school, completing her beauty studies.  I can’t recommend her enough, for me, my curly hair is hard to cut ‘right’ and she has done a great job every single time.

She’s also a whizz at colour – and I am living proof, since I’ve had her to a bunch of total transformations over the time we’ve known each other!

Chiropractor

West University Wellness

5180 Buffalo Speedway
Houston, TX 77005

One final ‘personal service’ that I’m asked about regularly, is my chiropractor.  I go to see Dr Yeager twice a month and he does great things for my spinal alignment!

If you happen to use any of these services, please let me know what you think of them, and tell them that Las sent ya! 😉
