It's really a shame that business makes people act this to each other. Scandals has been through some tough times, and yet we continue working to provide employment for a number of people in the industry that we love.

What I find so sad is when people leave a company, as we know happens all the time in the beauty industry, and start trash talking that company.

It makes sense that when you quit or get fired from a company you may hate the owner and/or manager, but what about your "FRIENDS" at that company? Do you not realize that while you are busy trying to put the hated owner out of business you are also jeopardizing your "FREINDS'" employment, and their ability to provide for their families?

I can say, as one of those hated managers, that I have NEVER told a lie to a guest, not that a person has moved out of town when they didn't, and not that we had problems with an employee when we didn't.

It would be nice if we could all just move on and build our careers in the new directions that we are all pursuing, and let those we've left behind do the same.

While no one can argue that Scandals has had its fair share of problems, the company has perservered and has continued to offer stylists, massage therapists, estheticians and nail artists a place to grow their careers. It is unfortunate that while we all share a passion for the salon and spa industry, there are some that would set out to sabotage the careers of others because of a grudge that is held against ownership or management of a former employer.

The fact of the matter is, some of those "wonderful people" that were former friends and co-workers, deserve the chance to build a career for themselves at Scandals Day Spa, as others have been allowed in the past. No matter your thoughts on current owners or managers of the company, the careers of those still employed at Scandals Day Spa shouldn't be jeopardized.

I sincerely wish that those no longer working at Scandals Day Spa, no matter the reason, experience nothing but success in the future, and I only hope that they are now able to allow those still employed at Scandals, to experience the success that they deserve as well.

As for the concern regarding our "new and inexperienced" employees, I would like to point out that in our Esthetics department, we have a combined 29 years of experience in the industry, in the Nail Department, 37 years of experience, in the hair department, 20 years of experience and in the Massage department, over 12 years of experience. I hope this gives those that question the capabilities of the current staff at Scandals some ease that we are more than experienced and trained to handle all of your beauty needs.

If you want a relaxing experience give them a try! I have been a client to scandals for many years now and have always been pleased. It hurts me even as a client to hear people trash talking the place that houses so many wonderful employees. Sure they may be negative "hireez" at times, but they sort them out! Then they are left with only the most loyal! Which is not only a benefit to them, but also to YOU!!! Think about it... if someones loves their job and is loyal to them they will be just as loyal to you as thier client and take pride in thier work. If some salon goers weren't so catty there would never be a bad thing said! I think the true problem of negativity resides in the person who holds the grudge long enough to write thier bad review. Its sad that it could actually make someone feel good to talk bad about something or someone! They are the real problem here! The salon is a must try!!!

After spending three years of my life learning the craft of hair design, I was let go of my position because I refused to sign a contract that would prevent me from working in the area, and supporting my family. I have now overheard the management telling my guests over the phone while in my company, that they had a problem with me, makeing me sound horrible. other guests have phoned me to tell me that they said i quit.

Cant keep their stories straight, when the truth is that when you disagree with their business ethics, which I have kept my mouth shut for way to long, and speak up about being treated unfairly, YOU GET LET GO!!

But in all fairness, they did me the favor,because I can go back to doing what I LOVE!!!!

Don't know for sure what's going on there, but the product shelves are bare, people seem out of sorts and familiar faces keep disappearing. It appears now that the majority of their employees are new and inexperienced. For the money they charge I want experience and professionalism.
