B.Alms Salon & Spa, Inc

I have been seeing Derek Louis for years. He is calm, quirky & an ace at what he does. A quick 3 hour session with Strawberry Leopard dye, hair already prelightened.

Anna at B Alms Salon always does the BEST color work on my hair! I go in with horrible split ends and washed-out color that hasn’t been refreshed in six months, and I don’t have a clear idea of what I want, and Anna truly takes care of me and suggests the best ideas. I’m always relaxed in the chair and even happier than I thought I’d be by the time she’s done. I can’t recommend her enough!

My hair stylist was GARRETT and he was awesome. Garrett knows exactly what he's doing and you feel very comfortable with him. True gem

The salon itself is clean and the front desk personnel are pleasant. But my review is more on Garrett, the absolute best hair stylist! Many years ago, I had an appointment to get my hair done and the stylist who was supposed to do my hair had to leave expectantly. Garrett stepped in and the rest is history! I had never had a stylist i went to on the regular but since our first meeting I was hooked. He is personable, genuine, knows everyone and truly wants his clients to feel better about themselves after they see him. He knows my family and I know his even though he has never met mine and I have never met his. I am not the client that comes in every month so it would be easy for a stylist to not want to get to know me, but not Garrett when you are put in his chair he wants to know all about you. I cannot say enough good things! So yes the Salon is great but its Garrett who makes the experience!

RE: Chelsea Belone- Medical Massage Endorsement.

B. Almes is well known as an amazing salon. However, upstairs on the second floor is a hidden gem known as Chelsea Belone, and her abilities related to medical massage. I was a client of Chelsea’s during the end of 2022. Without her talents, I would still be in a significant amount pain today. Let me give you a little history. In 2019 I had the first of three total knee replacements. One was a revision. I completed nearly 4 years of on-and-off physical therapy in the fall of 2022. At that time my muscles had atrophied, lost strength, and were extremely inflexible. My physical therapist recommended medical massage. Before I started with Chelsea, my hamstrings would cramp up resulting in my knee replacements locking up. I had lower back pain. I began to develop a mild piriformis syndrome which was resulting in tingling and numbness in my feet. Finally, I was anxious about overcoming these ailments. Chelsea listened to my concerns. Assessed what was needed and began the process of restoring the strength and flexibility to my body. Her technical knowledge on the bodies muscles groupings was exceptional. At each session she would ask for feedback on what was and wasn’t working. After the fifth or sixth session I no longer was cramping up nor did I feel the anxiety about this being a permanent condition. When I was finished, I felt fantastic. Her skills and dedication helped to improve my overall health. She is a very pleasant, knowledgeable, and a proficient massage therapist. She is empathetic and passionate about her profession. She is a true professional that can help people through medical massage. Today, I am back in the gym and feel very vigorous. On a scale of 1 to 10 she is an 11+. Remember, for medical massage the real hidden gem at B Almes Salon is Chelsea Balone, the best massage therapist in the Rockford area.

Chelsea is the best massage therapist ever. she has the most amazing hands. if you meet her it's love forever.

Nothing better than the folks here and the abilities that Chelsea has to diagnose issues and take care of the body! I have been getting deep tissue sports massages done for a while now and have seen multiple massage therapists throughout the last 3 years and Chelsea is pretty legit! The fact she is located in Peak Sports Club and understands the fitness lifestyle is AWESOME!

I went for my second facial from Fatime and she is the one to go see. She is so friendly and comfortable to be around. She makes sure to tell you exactly what you skin needs and how to help with any problems you have. Absolutely amazing experience, if you need a good relax day or need some help with skin problems I highly suggest to go see her!

Had a pedicure with Maria and it was fantastic!! Definitely recommend her! Afterwards I had a hair cut with Brandi. From start to finish each service was full of relaxation and detail. Great place to get some me time in!

Literally the best experience EVER! My highlights came out perfect and she even made time to cut my hair! Super cute salon I would highly recommend them and Marisa G!

The staff at B Alms is second to none; highly knowledgeable and educated. Who knew getting a haircut could be so much fun. I always feel great after visiting!

I am so grateful to my aesthetician Elizabeth! She discovered a tiny growth on my nose and advised me to see my dermatologist. It ended up being a squamous cell skin cancer. It was removed and I am healing. New motto wear sunscreen and a mask!

Leigh is fantastic. She knows exactly how to cut/texturize my overly thick hair to make it manageable and look amazing. I always have a great experience here.

I have very dry acne prone skin and Fatima worked wonders! She never uses anything that irritates my skin and I left with super hydrated glowing skin! Highly recommend a facial with Fatima.

Well I have to say at first I was scared. I went to Fatima for some waxing and I have to say she made me very comfortable I would recommend her for any of your personal waxing needs.

Leigh is amazing!! My hair has never looked better! Her work is excellent, thank you!

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I walk away always feeling refreshed and beautiful!

I have gone to Beth since I was a baby and Blair is amazing! Awesome place that will never leave you with a funky, unwanted cut!

Beth and her staff are amazing! Super clean salon and professional. I’ve never had a bad experience!

Fatima was amazing, my skin after my facial was so dewy and soft, highly recommend her!!!
