“Here is a great example on how to edge it up! Christy Lollar really worked it yesterday! She took the time to blow-dry and straighten her hair that morning, but of course I had to get in it at some point . The first photos we did , her hair was still intact but that is what you want when you are wanting to have classic portrait photos done, you want to be sure your hair looks natural. Later as we moved on to other parts of this wonderful location our surroundings became a bit more colorful and darker tones surrounded us, so I knew it was time to kick up the edge. Within 2 minutes I had her hair super messy, and it was HOT! Once I took a few shots of it down & messy then I began to pin it up. It sure looks as if it took a very long time but it did not take longer than 4 minutes! Christy really began to interact with the camera, becoming a true model! Yesterday was a great day! Click Here for some shots from this shoot…”

The Scoop’s Salon Experience contributor, Jessica Perrone, shares her opinions on the pedicure service she received at the Loft Hair and Nail Salon in Tuscaloosa. Get the final break down on this salon experience below!
Salon Experienced: The Loft Hair and Nail Salon , Tuscaloosa, AL
Salon Service Received: Deep Conditioning Pedicure
Overall Experience: B+
Staff Attitude/Demeanor: A
“The Loft Salon had a very friendly staff.”
Service Provider Attentiveness : A
“The pedicurist didn’t stop to do other activities. She was focused on me the whole time.”
Quick Q & A with Jessica Perrone
How long did you have to wait before you were serviced?
“Not too long, maybe about five minutes.”
Did your service provider explain what they were doing during the service?
“Yes. The pedicurist was very thorough.”
Did you feel as if the service was rushed?
“Not at all. In fact, if she had gone faster I still would have felt pampered. She took her time and made sure the pedicure was done correctly.”
What do you wish would have been different?
“I didn’t take time to wait for the nail polish to dry and I accidentally smudged the polish after I left the salon! If there was a nail drying station I would have used it for sure.”
Final Stuff…
“I liked the pale pink nail color the pedicurist polished my toes with. They had the newest colors from the Zoya Nail Polish line. I was pleased with how the polish looked on my toe nails.”
The Loft Hair and Nail Salon is getting Tuscaloosa ready for summer with their super discounted pedicure services. BamaSalons.com arranged for the Scoop’s Salon Experience contributor, Jessica Perrone, to check out the Loft’s pedicure first hand, or should we say, first foot.
"The staff at the Loft salon was very friendly and the nail technician giving me the pedicure focused on me the whole time." Jessica said, "Each stage of the pedicure was done with care and precision. My pedicurist did a great job of exfoliating and she didn’t skimp on anything in terms of the pedicure process…applying cuticle oils, massaging my legs and feet with lotions, and explaining what she was doing and why at every step. By the end of my pedicure my feet were moisturized and my toes were pretty in pink."
Jessica is a great service evaluator for many reasons. One main reason BamaSalons.com trusts her opinion is because she pays attention to the important details that make or break the experience. “I saw the pedicurist sanitize all the nail tools before and after each use during my nail service.” Maintaining a clean salon is vital if a salon wishes for clients to have a positive experience. The Loft Hair and Nail Salon is officially prepared to give Tuscaloosa salon goers a pedicure that is sure to get those feet in tip-top flip-flop shape!

Sometimes the editor gets to have a bit of fun and write her own salon experience… here it goes…
Okay, so if you knew me you would know that I have been pasty white most of my life. My mother is 100% Irish and that alone makes getting a tan and keeping a tan well a challenge. I’m used to burning and then peeling and then crossing my fingers hoping for some kind of brown-ish tint. One college summer I worked at a day camp as the ‘media chick’ and cataloged all the campers’ activities in photographs and in a prehistoric version of a blog. By the end of the summer I had a tan for the first time in my life and I was so pumped. Since then, I have known it is possible for me to have a tan but I also know I have to dedicate time to get one. One problem…I don’t have time to lay out at the pool so it was Planet Beach to the rescue.
Planet Beach in Tuscaloosa offers the Mystic Tan spray tan service and I love it. I go into the private room, follow the directions, walk out a few minutes later, and in about 3 hours I am tan. There’s no streaking, no odor (I always ask for the special drops that neutralize the faint scent), no wasted time, and no hassle! What’s not to love?
Tonya Lee, Manager of Planet Beach Tanning Salon in Tuscaloosa, was so helpful. She showed me the tricks of the trade so I could get the best tan possible. Make sure you ask her how to wear the foot cover- her technique is really good.… I did the technique correctly on one foot and not on the other and I could tell the coverage of the tan was in fact better on the foot I used the technique on!
Quick Q&A
Would you go back?
Heck Yes! I am going back next week as a matter of fact. I love this service!
Was Planet Beach’s atmosphere satisfactory?
Totally. Planet Beach Tanning Salon has a friendly and efficient staff! I didn’t wait longer than about 5 minutes for my tan session to begin but while I did wait I felt very comfortable in the waiting area.
Would you recommend Planet Beach’s Mystic Tan to others?
Absolutely. If you’re naturally pale and want a tan without a hassle try a Mystic Spray Tan. If you want to give your natural tan a kick get in the Mystic Tan booth. I really believe anyone seeking to have a glowing tan would be very happy with their Mystic Tan results.
