WM DaySpa Salon Beloit in Beloit, WI

0/10 do not recommend for your wedding hair/makeup!! My wedding was September 3, 2022. It has taken me so long to post this because of how completely furious this experience makes me. I had been going here for a few years for my haircuts and loved this place. I will not be going back anymore, as I do not want to give WM any more of my business. To start, I was double booked at the Beloit location. She told me she would "see what she could do." She offered me to switch to the Rockford location. I ended up settling. That was definitely the first RED FLAG. Then as I was doing the wedding services, I realized it was going to be way over the advertised $500 for the "package." When I inquired about it, the wedding coordinator said the price varies depending on who does the work, and also a tip is automatically added on. The wedding package seems like a scam to get more money. They really need to note $500 or more on their website and make sure customers realize this. Also, my first trial run for hair and makeup was pretty much a disaster. I had planned my hair down or partial down. I showed her what I was wanting. It didn't even look slightly like the picture and it was falling out while I was still sitting in the chair. I left feeling like I needed to find a new place. All of these red flags and I should have listened. I talked to the wedding coordinator and she let me have a second trial. Still wasn't a huge fan of the style but the stylist assured me it would look better on the wedding day. I didn't think I could find anything else so last minute so I decided to trust her. I had such a bad feeling about it, though. Now fast forward to my wedding day. The day I've looked forward to since I was young. They did okay work, but they were not mindful of the time, which made my wedding 45 minutes late. I was supposed to start my hair at 10:30. I showed up at 9:30 as my 3 bridesmaids started at 8:45 and I wanted to be there with them for most of it. When I showed up, they were just starting on their hair or makeup. My bridesmaids were not late, as I confirmed with them and with the stylists themselves. It should have started at 8:45 as scheduled. My hair was supposed to start at 10:45 but it didn't start until noon. Then my makeup was supposed to follow at 12:15 but didn't start until 2. By then, I was sitting around waiting for makeup that was supposed to be COMPLETE by 1/1:30. My bridesmaids had to leave to start getting ready so they could be ready to help me. I didn't get to the ceremony location until around 3:10... THE CEREMONY STARTED AT 3. Schedules are made for a reason and there is no wiggle room when it comes to a wedding. I didn't walk down the aisle until 45 mins to an hour late. I had a corset dress and it wasn't tied correctly, but I had to deal with it as everyone was waiting on me. I do not like the way I looked on my wedding day because of this. Because we were running so late: - Pictures ended up being rushed, and didn't get all that was wanted. - No sunset photos. - We paid for a specific time frame for our reception location. We were over an hour late. The reception place was clearly frustrated and we ended up wasting $450 on the extra venue time we paid for but didn't use. - Food was sitting for a while waiting for us resulting in dry meat. - Guests waited forever, people had to leave early due to children, so didn't end up getting to eat. - Didn't get to play our planned wedding games. - Groom had extra unnecessary stress waiting for me and so did our son. - Created extra stress for minister, pianist (extra hour of music), and church helpers that had to stay late to clean up, etc. Now fast forward to after our wedding. I receive an email asking for a review. I gave an honest review mentioning the things stated above. I get a call from the wedding coordinator who seemed to listen. Then she offered a free pedi. I asked for a complimentary one for my husband as well and she told me no as he was not the one affected, I was. ALL of the crap WE went through and we get offered a single free pedi, and get told that my husband wasn't affected by all of their crap. I booked the pedi as I was in shock, but ended up canceling it. Your wedding is supposed to something you look back on with amazing memories and happy thoughts, but this experience really messed things up for us. It completely snowballed one thing after the other and we were left with a disaster.

I received a pedicure and no chip Mani by Krystal!! She was amazing!!! Definitely recommend her!

For a while I have been meaning to try one of their facials, and did so yesterday and l-o-v-e-d it. This was a Guinot Luxury Facial, by Laura at the Beloit location. It was an hour of total relaxation and luxury. I kept thinking, "I´m in Beloit but I feel like I made a trip to Europe!" because the scent, the feel of this facial, and the Guinot brand of products used (France) reminded me of facials I have had there. The very fine exfoliation beads were wonderful, and another plus: the oils used did not make my face break out. This facial also included neck and shoulder massage, hand massage with Aveda ream, and terrific foot massage also with Aveda lotion. At the end of the service is a scalp massage. The facial room has a warm, cozy atmosphere woth a warmed table and knee lift which makes your back feel great while lying there. I felt that the price for this facial was fantastic, and will definitely do it again. I've been going to WM Day Spa for the past couple of years for various services and love the serene setting overlooking the river, the choice of products they use in their services, and the lines of product sold in the spa store; I also love everyone who works there. Since they reopened post-lockdown, I am very happy with all of their Covid safety protocols.

The actual massage was great! The waiting area left room for desire. Not cozy at all like the Rockford location. It is actually right by the area they do nails so if they are giving nail service you will have that smell or noise going on in the area while trying to relax before the massage. I personally prefer the Rockford location over this one. Rockford offers a shower room, nice cozy relaxing room while you wait, no outside noise heard in room.

I go here for massages. The staff are very friendly. Kelli gives massages according to what your needs are. She is gentle and always ask about your day. Very personable and caring.
