Gloss

Gloss on Water is another new gem in the Milwaukee Spa/ Nail Salon scene. Nestled right into the Brewer's Hill neighborhood across the way from where I have called home for the last 6 years. This area is certainly conveniently located.  Highly recommended services: manicure and pedicure and waxing services. With this place in the area, they are always accommodating to fit me in for a Gel, Mani, Pedi, or a waxing. I did try some waxing here-- ouch-- but that has more to do with my pain tolerance than the practitioner's skills! Although the esthetician was talented and professional I think I will try laser hair removal so as not to ever have to deal with that again! Try to get in on a slow day or you will have trouble getting through! Four Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐

August 15th, 2018 Mud, Minerals, and Music at  Solage An Auberge Resort While traveling into beautiful Calistoga I knew right away that this is a captivating and charming town. Amazing restaurants with wonderful and reasonably priced food, chic shopping area with plenty of sights for tourists and of course their famous mud baths and geothermal hot springs.
