Sentiment analysis: I purchased the introductory groupon they offered a few weeks ago, and was hesitant at first because I haven't had the greatest experiences using groupons. I was pleasantly surprised. I did look at some of the bad yelp reviews before going in, which made me nervous! So for those of you that only look at bad reviews, I hope you see this one and have a little more hope. I had a stylist named Annie, she had pink hair. Super friendly, and really appeared to want to get my style right. Since I had read bad reviews before coming in about stylists not listening to the customer when they asked for the curling iron to be used for better curl, I was concerned she would do the same. But, I let her know I was looking for good curl, and with thin/straight hair, it can be tricky to achieve. She attempted to curl with just the round brush and hair dryer first, and when she was "impressed by her curling abilities with a round brush," she was "equally impressed with my hair's inability to hold a curl." So she broke out the curling iron! We made great small talk, and I let her know I would be back in a month when I go out to celebrate my birthday. The salon is a fun, well-decorated environment. It was pretty loud with the hair dryers going, but not terrible. The less than perfect rating was that I saw people with mimosas/champagne, and while I had been offered something to drink, I figured I could just choose water or coffee, as that is usually is what at hair salons, I wasn't informed of my choices by the front desk staff. Now I know for next time to ask for some bubbly! Another good tip is to plan for longer than 45 minutes if you are planning to do a style with curls. While I got started on my appointment about 5-10 minutes late, I was there for 1 hour (and I dont have super long, thick hair that takes a great deal of time). I will be back in January for my 25th birthday night!

Sentiment analysis: On May 28, 2014 I spent 2 hours at the Shania Twain love fest. I was looking for a great concert from a legend. However, at least 30 minutes of the show was Shania walking among the crowd or sitting on stage doing Selfies with her thronging fans. Shania, if you want to do that, please stand out front before or after the show! For those of us beyond the front section, it really is a bore to watch such selfish behavior by those fans and you assisting them in ignoring the "do not take pictures or video record" messages. As for the singing itself, Ms. Twain was a bit impacted by the dry desert air or she was performing with half of her lung power (though a lot of amplifier). During the first half of the show, if her sister was not providing backup for her, I am not sure if we would have heard much of a female vocal. In that regard, the musicians really appeared to be over the top, providing much more country rock symphonic sounds than simply providing an accompaniment for a talent that Ms Twain is supposed to be. The show was diverse in presenting Ms Twain's catalog of songs and that in itself was enjoyable. Some other unnecessary stuff included Ms. Twain riding a motor cycle at the start of the show in the air with a video supplying background and the unrelated and unnecessary array of over the top graphics. Another unnecessary distraction (for a country rock music show) was two rounds of her pet horses being used props as she rode them to introduce a song. The first horse cameo provided background while a cast member twirled a rope and the second horse demonstrated dressage. Actually the dressage horse had better dance coordination than Shania demonstrated last night. Lastly, I thought it was great that all but two of the cast did a wonderful job supporting Ms. Twain. The two who were not helpful were the two male backup singers, whose twisting bodies, individualistic behaviors and often unnecessary grouping of our star, caused me to wonder how it was that she continues to stick with such egotists. Her dancers, musicians and sister were all really entertaining, gifted and contributed to the show I am sure that Ms Twain has the capacity for contributing more to her show; if only the producer and director reduce the noise and distractions around her and let her natural voice and a clear live video of her performance be put on display.

Sentiment analysis: Epic failure! I needed two pairs of pants and they were running a BOGO sale. Score, or so I thought. They had one pair in stock and promised the other pair a few days later. I went to pick up the first pair and they were hemmed as promised. A salesman handed them to me to try on and walked me to a dressing room. They fit fine but then he got busy helping somebody else (they work on commission) and I was promptly blown off. I rounded up another salesmen who bagged up my purchase and double checked that my pants were in fact ordered. He told me that they would be there on Monday and not to worry. I got busy and called on Wednesday to find out that my pants were still not there. They promised that they would have the pants tomorrow morning but I'm not holding my breath. Half priced shouldn't be half service. I hate posting negative reviews but this type of customer service is becoming the norm. It turns George Zimmer into a liar and he didn't even sell me the pants.
