DAY SPAS

Extasis Salon and Spa (preferred vendor)

New name and location - Salon 176 is now Extasis Salon and Spa. I had some wig styling done at Salon 176 and was just thrilled with the experience. It was the first time I had met Cathy, some of the seasoned members may know Cathy from past meetings, and she is a wonderful stylist. I walked out of there looking great and feeling fabulous. -- Ginger Williams

I have also been to Salon 176. Cathy is a wonderful person. She has styled my wigs and has styled my own hair in a female style and also did my makeup. I felt wonderful being there and have even changed into my female clothing while there.-- Mary Lee

MAJOR CHAINS

Victoria's Secret

We have it on good authority that it is National policy for Victoria's Secret Stores to accommodate crossdressers.  Karen has tried many stores in the area and been met with courteous help.

"Just wanted to tell you I went to Lane Bryant at the Midway Mall in Elyria, yesterday and had a great experience. I was up front with the saleslady in that I was looking for myself.  She helped me find what I wanted, a skirt, blouse, and a bra. I used the dressing room and the sales lady made sure everything fit. Just loved the trip."

-- Mary Lee

Lane Bryant has since closed the Midway Mall location. Other area locations include: Tower City Center, Dowtown Cleveland; Great Northern Mall, North Olmstead; SouthPark Center, Strongsville;Pavilion, Beachwood; Chapel Hill Mall, Akron.
