Waxed my hair off my head. I was getting face waxed than feet so 20 for feet and 30 for face paid before everything. Plus I give them 5$tip yo split between the 2 lady's than she comes Tellse it's 25 for French tip like I thought I was being nice tipping which I never do and it was not even good service. Feels like I got in a fight and one of my braids got pulled out. I don't think I'm goin there I need a good place that does wax a good job. Read Less

I have been looking for a good salon that would do my nails the way I like, I'm not into the long and embellished although they are pretty, it's not me.  I made an appointment and went in, was specific about what I liked.  She seemed to be doing it the way I liked, had a nice pedicure as well.  There were two women working in the salon, not young girls.  As she finished doing my nails, I looked at them after they were polished, they looked pretty good.  I gave them my credit card, I was on the other side of the room, the women called the other women over and the two of them were trying to use the credit machine.  Finally one of them turns around and yells across the room,  "YOU GOT NO MONEY", My first thought is panic, what?!?!, then I think, yes I do, I would never walk in and  get services without paying for it.  I knew I had credit.  I called the CC company and they said no attempts to charge anything had been put through to even decline if that were the case, and they assured me I had more than enough to cover my purchase.  I told them to try again, they did, and it worked.  Imagine that!!!!  I was so pissed off, what a bunch of low class people to treat a customer in that manner.  They made a mistake and they treated me like that.  I will never go back there.  After I went home and looked at my nails closer I wasn't happy, they were too thick.  Why can't I find a salon to just do nails nicely???  This place is a don't bother.

I really wanted to like this place. The women are very sweet and they take their time doing your nails.The problem is, they are not skilled nail technicians. The shaping and painting is awful. The lady that helped me was so darn nice that I really wanted to like the service. I even tipped her well because she was trying. Nevertheless, I hated the job she did and gave up asking her to fix it because it just wasn't in her no matter how much she tried. She just didn't have the skill set so they came out looking sloppy, misshapen, and the polish was painted uneven. I had to pay almost $30 to get the nails reshape did somewhere else and repainted. I will never, ever come back. Read Less

Do not get gel nails done here!!!!! I went here because I was in the area and it was close by. They seemed busy when I walked in so I said I could come back later but the owner insisted they weren't too busy and seated me. However, she was doing ten things at once and running back and forth between customers because she was the only one who knew how to do gel nails, which I found odd considering how popular and common they've become.She finished my nails faster than I've ever had them done and as soon as I got home one had already chipped, and they were gel! I've never had gel nails chip before, even after I've had them for two weeks. I went back and she was nice about fixing the nails that had chipped but after getting them fixed, they started chipping again the next day! Like the review below, I saw the gel thinner on the table too so I'm not sure if they put something in their gel but it definitely is not the quality it should be. I feel bad because the owner is very nice but the quality of their work is terrible. Read Less
