G Salon

I would not recommend them for waxing. I went there today for a bikini wax and am left with having to correct errors that were made and it is not worth the $ 50 dollars that I spent

Kerri M is amazing !!! Best men’s haircut! She pays attention to details! She takes her time and gives you exactly what you want and what looks good on you!!! I have really straight hair and difficult to cut! And I have gone to her 3 – 4 time and my hair cuts consistently get better and are always on point. Kerri is really open and welcoming !!! Book ahead of time she is hard to get. The only con is that the front desk staff are young and a little flighty !! But I can over look that for such an awesome stylist !!!

One of the worst spa experiences I have ever had. Spent the weekend at the Marriott in Providence for my best friend’s bachelorette party. We went to the spa for massages, manicures and pedicures. We are both of the mindset that we do not mind paying for good quality spa services, and we visit spas often. Since Marriott has such a high reputation, we expected this spa to be one of the best. We paid through the nose (combined over $ 300) for an experience that was extremely disappointing. Massages are done on what is basically a raised leather bed, not a heated bed as most high quality salons use. The «bed» had a flat sheet on the bottom that was too large for the bed so all it did was slide off every time you moved or rolled over. No scented oils or lotions were used or offered to us. Next up was our pedicure. We were expecting massaging foot baths, oversized reclining chairs, etc. The pedicure takes place in what is basically a stationary office chair with a large tub of water to soak your feet in (for $ 60!) Finally, the manicures were very basic, small bowl of cold water to soak your hands in. My friend’s nail polish was starting to chip by the time we went to dinner that night. Staff was friendly and polite, this salon just needs to re-​think their high prices for sub par services.

Kerri Micheletti is the best. I have short straight hair and it has been challenging to find a good stylist in the past. I am very happy with Kerri’s work and come back regularly. She is very skillful and creative and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments since she is doing my hair.

I admit I am a connoisseur of massage but there were some basic faux pas that occurred during my visit. First, the reception area where you check in is cramped, loud and bright. Then we were escorted to a quiet space where we were left for 20+ minutes. They finally started our massages 30 minutes late, which made our hour massage 45 minutes. The real clencher was the incredibly awkward and nervous massage staff who when we checked out tried to charge us $ 180 for our 45 minute Hour massage. It was an awful experience and the massage not notable.

After just moving to Rhode Island I was in search of the most important thing a girl needs-​a great stylist. Unfortunately I was a bit impatient before I found one and ended up at Supercuts, MK story needed there, it was my own fault. Anyways, through the grape vine I found out about The G Spot salons new customer special-​free shampoo, cut and style for new customers. Count me in!
Tiffany was my stylist along with some input from Kerry, the salon manager. It took two Brian’s to fix my botched hair cut. It took about 2 hours to get it all fixed, which is a small price to pay. They seem to offer a little bit of everything. I will definitely be returning!
Oh their salon motto is-«The G-​Spot Salon; if you can’t find it you can’t come.» (Pun intended)

The G spot salon is awesome!!! Kerri and Gina are both very friendly and know their stuff. They will always educate you on your hair and why and what they are doing. Kerri rescued me from a bad hair experience it had at the W salon and my hair is forever thankful hahah. In all seriousness, this is the best salon I have ever been to. The pricing is a little higher but it is so worth it!

I loved my haircut experience at G-​Spot. I was referred by a girl I met with great hair and my experience certainly lived up to the expectation she set, as did my great-​looking hair. Except for one thing. The haircut was $ 15 more than my usual place — so a splurge… worth it at first. Then I stopped back in for my promised «free bang-​trim» between haircuts. Well, my «free bang trim» cost $ 10! It seems my stylist was dishonest about pricing and I probably won’t go back because of it. The stylist also took photos of me under the agreement that she’d email them to me. She never did. Honesty & follow-​through are high values in my book and I won’t pay G Spot’s higher prices without them.

A great salon tucked into the Marriott hotel, just off the lobby. The staff is incredibly friendly, outgoing and very very interested in ensuring you are satisfied with their service. The owner, Gina, has been there during both of my visits and takes great pride in her salon. I’m just a dude who likes a little more attention to my hair than a barber gives, and would recommend a visit to the G Spot salon. Full service hair, nails and hair removal… I’m sure they have more. Give them a call and drink some caffeine before you arrive so you can keep up with the high energy staff.

I had a very nice experience at The G. I arrived a few minutes early and got to enjoy the view of hotel guests lounging by the outdoor pool with drinks in hand. It was a such a beautiful day, I felt like I was on vacation. The salon was clean, modern, and had a friendly organic feel to it. My stylist was Nicole, she is a customer of mine and I love her funky hair so I wanted her to do something with my ratty mommy hair. We started with a consultation, even bringing over the color specialist to discuss color. I then got a nice shampoo with scalp massage and she proceeded to cut and blow out my hair. She explained the products she was using but never tried to sell me anything which can be annoying when you visit salons and spas. I did pick up a few products that I was running low on since they were having a bogo half off sale. My cut was $ 35 and products were about the same. My hair looked great, I made an appt to go back next week for color.

I’m not going to split any hairs (har har), I’m a bit cheap when it comes to my locks. I use box dye and probably get a haircut every 4 – 5 months. That being said, I am acutely aware that you get what you pay for. In the bright warm sunshine of one spring-​like day last week, I was able to fully assess the damaged ends of my hair, the snapped-​off flyaways lining my part and hairline, and the overall dullness that denotes poor maintenance. I knew I couldn’t hold my hair hostage to my wallet for one more day.
I decided to try The G Spot Salon, thinking they were still in Davol Square. I called and the woman on the other end was really nice but I was put on hold for 5 minutes and then hung up on. I called again and successfully made my appointment for ten minutes later. But when I plugged them into my GPS I came up with a different address than was listed in other places, and I had to call them again.
I have to admit it was weird walking into a hotel to get my haircut. When I finally found them I had snaked my way past the pool and down a hallway, sure I was wandering into guest-​only territory before reaching the small, brightly lit (and a bit chaotic) salon.
I waited for about fifteen more minutes and then sat down in Gina’s chair. She’s very charismatic, down to earth, and professional. I immediately felt like I was in good hands. She heard me out and delivered on the cut. And I mean cut. Probably five or six inches off, and I absolutely love it. She also took the time to explain why she was blowdrying my hair the way she was and how I could do it myself. She’s great.
But the disorder of the salon was evident, as when Gina couldn’t find one of her tools, and the disorder was compounded by the overall shabbiness — worn chairs, small ratty hair towels, hair from past appointments still on the floor. I have to admit I was surprised when I found out I was paying $ 65 for my haircut, and I couldn’t figure out why it bothered me so much until I started writing this review. So here it is: I may have gotten a $ 65 haircut, but I did not necessarily have a $ 65-​dollar-​a-​haircut experience.

I visited about a month ago… so my review is slightly delayed.
I went for a bikini wax on the recommendation of a friend, as the woman that I usually see was on maternity leave. (She is at a different salon.)
First, the key to the treatment rooms where massage, facials, and waxing is done was no where to be found when I arrived and we were locked out of the space. The staff worked with the hotel to try and get the space open quickly. It did take about ²⁰⁄₂₅ minutes for the hotel and salon staff to get the space open for us. WIth that being said, everyone handled the situation really well. I was offered beverages and Gina, the owner, came out herself to apologize. I was also offered a significant discount on the service. I happened to not be in a rush, and was able to take some work calls, so it worked out just fine.
The service was decent. (I apologize for not remembering the technician’s name that worked with me.) The wax of choice is hot wax, where I am used to cold wax. I have discovered I prefer the cold wax. The technician that I usually see spoils me as she is so good and thorough.
The treatment room was neat, clean, and tidy. I felt comfortable there.
The price was a bit expensive — a simple bikini wax was $ 40 before the discount. I typically pay $ 30.
If I did not have my usual spot (and technician who was on leave has now returned), I would go back to GSpot. But as long as Nicole is working, she is who I will see.

Amanda Plasse is the best! She did a cut, color, condition and style — perfect! Too bad I’m in LA… :(

I always get my threading done at the Marriott location because Divya is amazing and the $ 10 unlimited threading deal is worth it. There is a new girl threading and he did a beautiful job but she was VERY slow and the slower they are the more painful it is. It took a full 30 minutes for what usually takes 5 – 10. I think since Divya is gone I’ll try the other location on Angell.

I wanted to like G Spot Salon, but overall it was not an experience I would like to repeat. Here’s why:
1) My haircut took FOREVER. Meaning, about three hours. Seriously. Now, at the time, I did have substantial hair to cut — it’s very thick, very curly and was very long. However, three hours? That’s a HUGE chunk of my day that should have been spent doing much more important things. Oh, and all I had done was a haircut — yup. No color, no highlights, not even a blow out (which I would have actually liked). I just went in for a trim.
2) No blow out. These came to be standard issue, as most stylists needed to «check the lines» of my cut and could only get a clear reading on the copious amounts of hair by doing said blowout. The stylist at G Spot didn’t know how to do it properly, so instead she recklessly blew my massive head of curls dry hurly-​burley (Yikes!) and proceeded to IRON my hair. Disaster? Yes. Time-​consuming? Totally. After poofed-​up my hair was flattened, she went over it again with the scissors. And again. And again. Painful.
3) The shop was actively being renovated while appointments were in the chairs. Now, I understand this was somewhat unavoidable, but when I go to a salon, I do appreciate a calm, peaceful and relaxing experience aided somewhat by the ambiance. I felt that no effort was made to calm the atmosphere amidst the chaos, especially since the stylists were shouting to each other from their stations. I was privy to a whole lot of personal information about the entire team. Not exactly professional.
My stylist was nice enough, if inexperienced. I wanted to like it, as I said, but it just wasn’t a polished, professional establishment. Perhaps I should have gathered as much from the name!

I don’t live in Providence but am visiting for a few weeks and needed a haircut. I decided on G spot from the Unilocal reviews. Firstly, you should know that G Spot has moved and is now in the Marriott on Orms St (note, this is not the Courtyard downtown). I had to navigate maze of hotel rooms to finally find their temporary location in a hotel room (literally) while the new salon is being built. The receptionist was super friendly and apologized for the temporary situation, which made up for the very strange surroundings. She also introduced me to Gina (the head stylist? Owner?) who was very friendly. However, I arrived a few minutes late (5 max) and was informed that my stylist had just taken an «unexpected walk-​in». I ended up waiting somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half! So while the people are friendly and the haircut was decent (nothing stellar), the wait was completely unacceptable, hence the 2 stars.
