What People Are Saying About Fuga Italian Escape

Featured Review

Amelia Levin

Contributor

In Short – Anchored on the quiet stretch of Southport, this contemporary salon lures chic moms and singles from the neighborhood for hair, nail and body treatments. Downstairs, the scene is lively with a blowout/haircut area up front, plus mani/pedi and coloring stations at the rear, while an upstairs spa has a much quieter, warm mood where herbal scents fill the air. Regulars come for facials using French-based Yonka products and the complimentary, private shower. – –

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
An outdoor deck upstairs makes bridal/bachelorette parties especially fun during warmer months. Fuga will accommodate smaller parties of six to 10 guests with a one service per person minimum. Free cappuccinos are also served during pamper sessions.
Skin Treatments:
A "vino therapy" service includes a sweet-smelling sugar scrub, mask and massage oil with crushed grape seeds, olive oil and red wine extracts used during manis, pedis and body treatments.

Love this place

by ana95 at Citysearch

I loved this place. I have been a loyal regular customer of Fuga for the last 2 years. I pretty much go there for everything!

Today, I was very very disappointed with the front desk. i booked for a particular facial and they changed that and put me on for what i normally do. I just wanted to try something different...but was not able to for their mistake.

I colored my hair last year with Anna and I had longer hair. I went for a single process and my hair is much shorter. 7/8 months ago I paid 80 dollars for color and today I had to pay 115 dollars. I was quoted 100 dollars over the phone when I made the appt. They have raised their price by 35 dollars just on hair coloring......unbelievable!!!! They knew that I had gone to get adjustments done on my haircut which I had done 10 days ago. It was not cut right. Instead of being apologetic, they overcharged me. I am very very upset. It's not the money....it's the principle!

  • Pros: excellent stylists! very relaxing place!
  • Cons: increased their price considerably! almost a rip off :(

Love Anna!

by GRK at Citysearch

I have been to Anna at least 8 times for a hair cut and I have to say every time it is a lttle bit different - but I always love it! I always come in with the same picture, but Anna uses her expertise to change it up each time. Always leave there with a smile on my face feeling great about my "new" cut!

  • Pros: Best Haircuts Ever!

Revision

by RobinP at Citysearch

I recently wrote a bad review and wanted to write a revision. The owner contacted me and apologized, asking what they could have done better. I appreciated this and will give them another try for sure in the future. thank you fuga.

  • Pros: Example: best croissants in town
  • Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Beautiful and relaxing space

by bethylou10 at Citysearch

My first visit to Fuga was Friday night, for a mini-massage. Andi, my massage therapist, made me feel very comfortable and put a lot of work into my back in a short amount of time (30 minutes). The spa and salon are gorgeous, and from the moment I walked in, I felt relaxed and peaceful. Fuga is a real find. I look forward to going back, as I'm looking for a new hair stylist.

Fantastic all around service. Fantastic!

by meganras at Citysearch

I hadn't had a consistant stylist for over three years, but I do now!

From the moment I called, the receptionist was eager to help place me with the right stylist and advised I come early for a consult. I came in and met with Rachel, who was down to earth, friendly and really listened to what concerns I had. We decided on a great cut and last min. color. I love the way everything turned out!!

They did not push any products but recommended some in a very non threatning way, which was great and the overall price was good. I will be a loyal client and will recommend FUGA to all my friends and coworkers!!

  • Pros: very friendly atmosphere, non pushy stylists.
  • Cons: Limited on street parking
