I have been going to Mickey for over a decade. I get my hair cut and colored in under an hour and her prices are fantastic. Her spa services are also great and she has a very professional staff. MC3 Salon and Wellness Center is the only place I would go in Charlotte and the only place I recommend to my friends!

My face was cut during the facial
By MeghanS | March 18, 2012

This is a nice facility, with very friendly staff. I only write this review b/c of the surprising response I received when I informed the manager what happened to my face during a facial. I received the dermoplane service, at which time the technician apologized and informed me that she accidentally cut my face. A few hours later, the cut on my face swelled up and it looked like I had been slashed in an alley. I informed the manager via phone, because I couldn't get away from work to return there during the hours the spa would be open. The manager was abundantly nice, but seemed to seriously downplay what happened. She suggested that I was using facial soap that irritated my skin, or that some people's faces are more "sensitive" than others. My face was cut, not sensitive. All of the staff were very nice, but after multiple strangers looked at me in horror and asked me what happened to my face, it left me feeling discouraged and frustrated that nothing was offered to compensate my experience. The staff are all very nice, again, but I will not be returning.

I am so sorry you felt we did not address this. I asked you to come in at your earliest time and you shared that you would come in on the next two business days for me to take a look, if the scratch was still present as I did not see anything when you left and you raved about the Jetclear and spoke of you would be back when you checked out. You called me 2 days after your service and when we spoke you wanted to be sure that it would be ok to apply anything over it. I also shared please come in anytime to take a look at your skin and you said you would be glad to and you never called or came by. We pride our skin care using all organics,and the latest in advanced training. It does help the technicians when performing a derma plane to not talk. Feel free anytime to contact us with concerns.

Definitely need to go back again

I am a newlywed and just moved to Charlotte from Atlanta and was in desperate need of a haircut. A friend gave me a SpaFinder giftcard for a wedding gift and through this website I found MC3 Salon. I made an appointment for the very next morning and was welcomed by Mickey, the owner, in a warm and positive manner. She also cut my hair and I was VERY impressed with her knowledge of product for my dry, curly thick hair. She recommended several techniques and products without seeming to come across as a sales-person. She was extremely genuine, energetic, personable and conversational! The prices are incredible- I was so happy that the cost of my haircut was much lower than what I had paid in Atlanta. What a great experience for a newcomer to Charlotte!! I will definitely be returning!

I had an appointment for a hot stone spa and they didn't have any idea how to heat the stones. They were hot enough to burn you... so we spent a lot of time messing with that problem. Then there were some aspects of cleanliness that were lacking. I hate dark furry blankets that are not washed after every massage client. PLEASE give me a clean white flannel blanket...warm if possible on the massage table. The manicurist was sweet but the towels she used were stained. Plus, after having had the massage, the nail room was COLD and accessible to some guys who came in to visit some chick. Boy, with my hair and make-up messed up and sitting there cold, I sure felt like being stared at by some loud-mouthed guys. Up leaving I mentioned the trouble I had finding the site by Yahoo or Verizon Navigator; everyone got in a very defensive mood.. I was just trying to be helpful and make sure their business survived. However, after that treatment (plus no discount for the fact the stone massage never occured), I WILL NOT BE BACK.

Nadine, You did address the stone issue with our front desk and were offered a free massage or a discount for someone else in your family as you stated you were visiting from out of town. We chose Warm Browns for our color scheme, I am sorry that we did not know your preference was white. All of our linens our changed after every service. You were given a blanket after your service and hot tea personally by the owner and you said you were always cold even soaking in your warm water for your pedicure service. The gentleman in the waiting area not in the pedicure room, that you are complaining about not finding the location at the front desk to were from Google, they suggested you search thru Google to aid you next time in your searches as some systems limit your searches for businesses They like you were trying to help you. Our spa recieved a 99 % Grade A for cleanliness. I am sorry we did not meet your needs before you went back home to Seatle.

Great time!

We were in town for a few days and this spa was recommended by the inn where we were staying. For two days we tried by phone to get an appointment. No on answered - just an answering message. We went by. No one was at the desk when we entered and the stylist who did come out to speek to us acted as if we were bothering her. I mentioned that we tried to call and no one answered - she blew it off and acted as it that was normal. When asked about appointments for the both of us she basically just said come in tomorrow at 9am, she didn't look at the schedule or talk to us about what we wanted to have done. The whole experience was very odd and cold. We chose another location.

Travelers are always a pleasure when they come to town. I clearly remember you and your husband walking in and we addressed you immediately, You did not know what you wanted or what kind of service, I described different massages and pedicures also several facial services for you both.We looked at the schedule for you then offered you the very next morning and was sorry we could not accomadate you that very moment as you requested. You booked the appointment the next morning at 9:00 a,m. and then when I was writing your appointment on a card you asked for a discount on your services, and at Christmas time we did not have any specials. You said cancel the appointment let me think about it, your husband very confused said why are we cancelling.... I am sorry we try to focus all of our time on clients in the salon and out of courtesy, and we can not always get every call at that moment they are coming in . I am sorry you felt our Spa was cold we pride ourselves on personal service.

I made an appointment to see the owner, Mickey, after finding the salon listed on this site. I was looking to have my hair highlighted and return to my normal blond color after having darker color during winter. I was very nervous throughout the experience and should have left after my quick consultation. I repeatedly asked Mickey to confirm the plans for blond highlights, yet I somehow ended up a few shades lighter and $145 poorer. The color is uneven and friends and family have commented that it looks orange, brassy, red etc. How I went from blond to red is beyond me. This certainly isn't what I asked for and it looks terrible. Mickey said the color is golden, HAHA. I have never had a color application this bad and chose not to return for a fix. I wouldn't trust Mickey to touch my hair, so I'm out the $145 and will be out even more to have it fixed.

Consultations are important. Being a blonde is for someone whose hair is darker dictates frequency to the salon. The picture you showed me I shared with you would be maintenance in the salon. You were very clear being a mommy who did not work and did not want to spend the money or time on your hair to be blonde is why you went back to your natural brown hair color. I suggested a warmer color that would be lighter than what you had but not as blonde as you were before you were married. You left loving your hair and tipped very well. If you wanted to be blonde it would of been a pleasure to do that for you. The 'gift cards' you used for your services that you shared with me many times that you did not want to have the maintenance or spend the money which is why we did not make you a blonde.
