Powercuts Salon & Spa

I currently live in Houston, TX, but was visiting Aiken and decided to get my hair cut at the salon my sister uses, Powercuts. I had a wonderful experience. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and inviting. Katelyn (sp?) was my stylist and did an amazing job. It’s one of the best hair cuts I’ve had in some time. I have very thick hair and a lot of hair and she knew how to texturize it perfectly. She also gave me a lot of tips on how to style a quick everyday do. Now back in Houston, I have received several compliments on my haircut and I tell people they’ll just have to go to Powercuts in Aiken. I visit Aiken once or twice a year and will definitely save my salon appointments for Powercuts.

I have been getting my hair done here for 6 years. Everyone is always very friendly and professional. My stylist is Elizabeth and she does a wonderful job with my hair and always listens carefully to how I want my hair to look. If I so ask for her opinion, she is always honest. She also gives great styling tips so that you can perfect your new do at home.

It depends on which therapist you get and what kind of massage you prefer. I like more of a deep tissue massage and I am not a big fan of stretching techniques. Cheryl was focused more on moving my arms and legs in awkward positions and stretching my muscles which I was not a fan of. Crystal gives more of a deep tissue massage that is a great rub down.

I am basing my rating of PowerCuts on my massage experience as I have never had any other services here. They are a Paul Mitchell Salon.
The ambiance is nice, the Salon/​Spa is in an old cottage in Downtown Aiken. The décor is what you would expect.
The downside of this beautiful old cottage is the noise factor. I could hear the washer and dryer running, the phone ringing, clients and stylists talking all the way through my massage. The Massage therapist did a nice job, but was a bit chatty. I am still trying to decide how I feel about someone trying to carry on a conversation with me during a massage.
The table on which my massage was conducted was nice as it was heated. The therapist used a peppermint oil which smelled very nice, but was not overwhelming. She did a pretty good job focusing on the areas that I specified.
After my massage I was given a complimentary hand paraffin treatment which made my hands so soft, a nice treat during the winter.
I am going to give PowerCuts 3 stars because I have had better massages, and the outside noises were very distracting.
