Megan did such a great job with my cut! She listened to what I was thinking and in the end it was exactly what I was wanting! The staff was so friendly and helpful. I loved it and will definitely be returning! Read Less

I have to give so much credit to Leah Faris at Envision Salon in Ankeny. My hair had been long for close to 32 years. As I approached chemo therapy for breast cancer, I asked Leah to cut it very short! (I can't post a picture here or I would). She did an amazing job and it looks great, and amazingly lays exactly as it is supposed to. I have received so many compliments from people telling me it looks so natural on me. I'll only have the hair for a few weeks before it falls out, but I have Leah to thank for showing me how I could wear short hair. Read Less

I recently came here with my daughter and this is the most amazing salon I have ever been to. All the employees were very welcoming to me and my daughter when I walked in, we both got dipped powder and my nails feel very durable and strong. I was surprised when they offered me several different kinds of drinks along with complimentary snacks. Not a lot of places to do that. The owner was super friendly and cute, I will definitely be coming again!! Sad the most stars I can give is 5 but all in all, great service and prices! Read Less

Wow I paid 160 dollars , bad customers service - This employee who said she was the owner was very rude and she ended up doing my nails - I was there for literally 3 hours . My nails are so crooked and poor quality. And she thinks it’s ok . Wow very very bad experience Read Less

Nice, clean facility. Over-priced for the quality of pedicure. Poor customer service (despite making an appointment) - would do part of the pedicure, then leave to work on someone else. It took over 2 hours for a routine spa pedicure, but most of it was waiting rather than actually receiving the pedicure. I've been here 4 times total since I moved to Walnut Creek - the first time was great (just pricey), second time was mediocre, and the last 2 times were poor. I won't be returning. Read Less

When you can go on messenger and tell your beautician you need a change and she takes it to heart, there is nothing better. Been that way for 10 years. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Leah is a miracle worker. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ Read Less

I've gone to Leah at Envision for about 1.5 yrs. She GETS it when it comes to curly hair and bold red coloring. The rest of the staff are always super nice and make each visit nothing short of enjoyableRead Less

Really my new favorite nail salon. I love the upbeat music they play. Cathy is the best and puts love into every finger nail. I have been to at least 40 different nail salons and sware have never been so please as I am here. I wish I could give ten stars!  My gel French manis last forever! Super convenient parking lot.

I read great things about this place and they were all true. They people working there are sweet and good at what they do. I think it's great how they offer fuirt and water. Loved the music as well. It was so relaxing, I almost fell asleep. Read Less

Cathy asked me repeatedly to leave a Yelp review.  Annoying!  I finally felt forced to do it for I thought I wouldn't get good service if I didn't.  I wrote one against my will, but eventually I erased it.  Cathy noticed I deleted it & kept bringing it up at every other damn appt.!  She kept asking me when I'm going to write another review.  Now that I feel the review is well-deserved, here it is.  (If I could give it 0 stars, I would.)If you're looking for:*professionalism*your appt. time to be honored*your time to be respected*quality work*a peaceful and quiet place*to relax while you get pampered*not be lied to or undermined,then Zen is not the place for you.I went to Zen (nothing zen about this place) for approx. a year.  Rather than zen, I too often walked out of the place very upset, highly irritated & displeased.  Opposite of what a pampering session is supposed to be.Cathy's pedicures are exceptional, which is the reason I cont'd going but had to exercise a lot of patience until my patience ran out.There's a lot I could say, but I'll sum it up w/the following:*good technicians don't last long at this place; I saw many come & go*Cathy engages in loud convo w/her other techs, esp. Kim.  They're both so obnoxious!*the quality of Kim's work is so poor and, worst, she takes too long bec she's socializing while giving you a low quality mani; sprayed me like 3 times w/alcohol & not just my nails but my whole hand*Kim would watch over me to see how much tip I'd leave her.  Rude!*extremely long wait times to the tune of waiting up to an hour & a half!*you make an appt., but no point as walk-ins & first time customers are given priority over those who make appts. & are established/loyal customers*techs aren't treated w/respect, which is why good ones don't last.  The way it was put to me is that Cathy looks for pushovers she can boss around, yell at and belittle;*you're undermined & lied toIf you care to con't reading, I've expounded on some of the bulleted points above.There were two exceptional technicians who had very short stints at this shop.  They both complained of mistreatment & being taken advantage of.  Since they quit, I saw this place go thru so many techs that came & went.  There was one who gave me hope (Kim) and actually has lasted the longest, if she's still there.  Kim quickly got too comfortable & the entire time she was doing my mani, she'd have loud conversations w/Cathy like they were at a bar & there to socialize, not work.  I'd end up getting over hour-long manis due to Kim's excessive talking.  I'd tap her & tell her, "Kim, please."  She'd get quiet for about a minute & then start up again.  No regard for my time.  How am I supposed to relax when they're having a full on loud convo in their native language, no less, laughing, giggling & plain being obnoxious?I have good reasons to question her honesty.  The first time, Vicky, an excellent technician she had, told me that shortly after I'd made my appt. Cathy made her take a walk-in customer.  Vicky told me she told Cathy I'd just made an appt., but Cathy made her attend to the walk-in customer & told her I could wait.  When I finally sat down for my mani and Vicky stepped away to grab something from the back, Cathy came over &, in a low voice, told me that Vicky hadn't put my name in the appt. book.  I mentioned it to Vicky & she confirmed what Cathy said, but told me that she verbally told Cathy I was on my way and would be there in 5 minutes.  This happened about 3 times and each time Vicky said Cathy just didn't care bec she doesn't turn down walk-ins or first time customers.  Sadly, Vicky quit not long after I started going there.  When she'd just quit (unbeknownst to me) I called to make my appt. w/her, Cathy told me she was on vacation but someone else could take me.  Come to find out, Vicky had quit & wasn't on vacay.  Since Vicky left I saw so many techs come & go.  That told me a lot.  Due to limitations, that's all I can write but I had quite a bit more. :/I wish Cathy well & hope she will take this review as constructive criticism & learn & grow from it, and not bad mouth me to other customers like she would do with me about other customers who wrote reviews like mine.Best to you, Cathy.

I made an appointment for 11am for a mani and pedi. When I arrived all three attendants were occupied--which was fine, it gave me time to select my polish color. About 10 minutes in, one of the attendants sat me in a massage chair. They began with my pedi at 11:30. The pedi was ok--she used very little product. Pedi was done at about noon. I waited 55 minutes before my mani was started--I was literally falling asleep from waiting. Finally, Cathy, got to me. By this time, there were two other women waiting and another one arrived saying she had to be done before 2:30. Needless to say, Cathy rushed my mani. How was the job? It was ok at best. Their tools were not organized. In the 30 minutes she spent on me, she spent 5 of it looking for the base coat. After 2.5 hours I was finally done. It was an irritating experience. I look forward to my mani/pedi appointments because this is my time to relax and my experience was anything but relaxing. Wait--the one good thing was the massage chair. Those were great. But I'm not definitely not going back. I would go somewhere else before going to this place. Read Less

Called in the morning and asked what the earliest availability was. I was told to come at 10:20am. I show up 5 minutes early and was very surprised. There was only one male worker walking around tidying things around the shop. Two ladies were already sitting down in he waiting area. This did not look like an availability. What's the point of making an appointment if they don't honor it? After 5 minutes of awkwardly standing there a lady comes out from the back and asks if I have an appointment. I say yes at this exact time. As I am picking my color. Another lady comes out and ask if I have an appointment, my name, for what service. I literally called earlier this morning, right before I came how do you not remember what time you told me to come? I am sat down in a pedicure chair, along with the other two who were waiting (who did not have appointments by the way). The two workers start working on them immediately. Been sitting at the pedicure chair for the past 10 minutes and no one has come to start on me. They should have started on me first because I had an appointment. Will not be returning. What's the point in making an appointment beforehand? Read Less

Beautiful just like the owner. I've been coming here for years now and Cathy is simply amazing. Zen nails is the only shop I go to. It's The absolute best, hands down  #coffin nails#perfectionist#nobody does it better Read Less

They remained open later than the posted closing time and were willing to take several others that walked in less than a half hour before they were initially intended to close. They bring you water with orange slice in it and a plate of oranges to eat, which were very fresh and juicy! The space is a good size and fairly clean. The lady that did my nails was quick and gentle. Parking can be a little difficult, so plan for that. My shellac (gel) manicure and regular pedicure were $58 (not including gratuity). Read Less

When I moved here from MN I had a hard time finding a stylist I trust to highlight and cut my hair. Envision salon has amazing hair stylists who are well trained and know what they're doing. I highly recommend it! Read Less

Never have I walked out of a salon feeling satisfied until I went to Envision. Jenna did an amazing job on my hair than the past stylists I've been too. It's so beautiful! I will be definitely coming back. Thank you Jenna! I can't thank you enough for transforming my hair :) Read Less

Cathy, the owner, does amazing nails. I have been getting acrylics with her for 5 years. They stay on so well I, in my miraculous clumsiness, managed to break my real nail and the acrylic didn't budge. I have followed her as she built this new shop and will likely continue to do so in the future. Read Less

Envision is seriously the best. Their team is so friendly and helpful. My husband and I both have been going to Envision ever since we moved to the area, and we really love the way that Stephanie does our cuts and my color and highlights. She is always doing the newest techniques and keeps my hair healthy and vibrant! We love Sonja, Stephanie and the whole team at Envision! Read Less

I've gone to Envision Salon for a few years now. I am a stay at home mom to 3 kids under 6. The hour or so i get to spend here every 6-8 weeks is pure bliss for me. Stephanie just GETS how thick my hair is and where other stylists struggle, she has always been a rockstar. I always leave with a cut i love or a color i love and look forward to catching up with her next time. The atmosphere is great here and I highly recommend you check it out! Read Less

Stephanie and Leah are so kind, creative, and talented. Every time I go in, I feel comfortable giving them color or cut ideas and or letting go to have them do whatever they think would look good on me, and I always leave feeling better than when I entered. They genuinely care about their clients. Thank you, Ladies! Read Less
