Lorrie N.'s Profile

Doggy daycare prices are great.

From the website and reviews we've read, we were expecting a LOT more space for the outside daycare play area. It's very small, like 10 x 10. Smaller than our standard size military backyard. I was looking forward to seeing a nice big space with green grass, dog toys, and playpens. All they had was a small plastic dried out pool with some dirt in it and one puppy alone. There's no grass, only rocks. I do understand part of that, but it's just not inviting.

Their website states "Boarding Tours - Please feel free to visit our facility - Monday through Friday between the hours of 1pm and 3pm - Major Holidays excluded!"

So we went before 3pm for a tour.

I went in first and asked for a tour of the facilities. The person working was in a really bad mood when we came in. She kind of snapped and told me there is no tours allowed when they have so many dogs in the facility. She then said she's in a bad mood today and really busy getting some palette ready. She let me see through a window in the back, of the kennels, but that was it. After another couple came into pick up their dog, she was a lot more proper and nicer to us. We ended up leaving our puppy there for a few hours of playtime with one other dog and it cost us $5.

We might use them again since they are close to home, but we are still going to look around at other places in the area, maybe even Hop-town.

Wedding Hair!

I'll post pictures later. I miss ya Lucia. Tennessee has nothing even close to you.

Lucia's coming back for good! If you hurry, you can catch her before she leaves (then comes back for good).

I made my appointment with text messaging. Yes, I texted their line thinking Sraddha still worked there. Got a response that she was working tonight. Asked for a wax appointment after 6pm. Got a response and I confirmed a 6:30pm appointment. I would actually recommend calling because it IS more personal, but I was in the middle of a crazy work day and couldn't leave for even a minute to call. So I didn't know Lucia was back until I arrived at the door and she opened it with a big warm welcome and smile.

I had absolutely no pain immediately after the wax. No numbing. She is more thorough and takes her time with the wax and every area you want. I have to say I am really glad Lucia is coming back for good. She is fantastic and really knows what she is doing. I heard awesome things about her, but was only able to see Sraddha in the past.

Sraddha quit. I am much happier going to Lucia though. I wasn't coming back here for a while because I wasn't so into Sraddha and her waxing technique.

GO SEE LUCIA!

You really can't beat her waxing technique, with the HARD WAX, at $45 and no charge for your first time or over 4-5 weeks growth.

Have you ever had a Brazilian wax with the hard wax the dries into a taffy like substance? It doesn't hurt at all! Maybe just a tiny bit. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being extremely painful, the hard wax is about a 4 and the hot wax with cloth strips is about a 8.5 on the pain factor. Yes, it makes that much of a difference.

Waxing is addicting. The pain is good pain, comparable to tattoo pain. Except waxing is removing, tattooing is permanent.

I've got to go back here...it's so good.

Oh, by the way, if you haven't heard of Lucia's, her business has been around for over 10 years. There is no luxurious setting here. You drive to a little residential area with houses and apartments, her place is tiny and just big enough for one person to be worked on at a time. She takes her time and doesn't rush you through anything.

Personally I have only seen Sraddha Ferry, Lucia's employee.

My friends have seen Lucia.

They are both wonderful.

Not sure if you have the guts to go Brazilian? Just try it once, here.
