*I hate to write negative things for businesses because I believe in blessing others to thrive. I reached out to the owner but she never responded to me. So here I am having to tell the story as is.* I paid 80 dollars for some very crappy service. The lady that helped me did a horribly rough job on my pedicure. Each time she was removing a piece of my toe nails it hurt badly. I also barely had any time to soak my feet before she started working on them just because there are customers waiting in line. My callus were removed like promised. My leg has skin breakage from how rough she rubbed the leg scrub onto me. My friend that started her pedicure exact same time as I did was barely half way through when I was told my pedicure was over. I was not able to feel relaxed or pampered at all. Then moving onto my manicure- she didn't speak clearly about the gel manicure being more expensive. When I specifically told her I wanted the mani+pedi package ($60), she asked me if I wanted gel or normal polish, and said gel is better. I was like sure let's do gel then. It was only till checkout she told me that gel was 20 dollars more expensive. Also because how quickly she wanted to finish my manicure, she cut my hand and blood came out. She didn't even apologize or try to disinfect. I was left with swollen finger afterwards. I "treated" myself with this because I work hard to make a living and felt I deserved to be pampered. Wow, neither did they make my hands/feet look or feel any better, I also spent ridiculous amount of money on a waste of time. OVERRATED for sure. I looked into ratings before going in there trusting what I read. That's why I believe you need to see this other side of story before you decide on trusting them with your beautiful self. Read Less

I really wanted to like this place. It's in a great location downtown. I've gone half a dozen times since moving downtown and have not had a good experience once. Everyone who walks in is offered a beverage before they get started (see the other reviews!). Not once have I been offered one. I'm not there for the beverages so that's fine, but know that they aren't offered to everyone. I have to ask three different times to have my nails shortened (cut or filed). If I don't mention it, they are cut down to the quick to the point where it hurts to walk for a couple of days. The polish - both regular and gel - generally turns out ok, but the process of painting the skin around my nails and then cleaning up is careless. I'm still scraping polish off my skin.Prices are ok but I'd be more ok paying them if everything went well. I've had better and I'll gladly drive a little farther to pay less for a better experience.

Then moving onto my manicure- she didn't speak clearly about the gel manicure being more expensive. When I specifically told her I wanted the mani+pedi package ($60), she asked me if I wanted gel or normal polish, and said gel is better. I was like sure let's do gel then. It was only till checkout she told me that gel was 20 dollars more expensive. Also because how quickly she wanted to finish my manicure, she cut my hand and blood came out. She didn't even apologize or try to disinfect. I was left with swollen finger afterwards. I "treated" myself with this because I work hard to make a living and felt I deserved to be pampered. Wow, neither did they make my hands/feet look or feel any better, I also spent ridiculous amount of money on a waste of time. OVERRATED for sure. I looked into ratings before going in there trusting what I read. That's why I believe you need to see this other side of story before you decide on trusting them with your beautiful self. Read Less

I really wanted to like this place. It's in a great location downtown. I've gone half a dozen times since moving downtown and have not had a good experience once. Everyone who walks in is offered a beverage before they get started (see the other reviews!). Not once have I been offered one. I'm not there for the beverages so that's fine, but know that they aren't offered to everyone. I have to ask three different times to have my nails shortened (cut or filed). If I don't mention it, they are cut down to the quick to the point where it hurts to walk for a couple of days. The polish - both regular and gel - generally turns out ok, but the process of painting the skin around my nails and then cleaning up is careless. I'm still scraping polish off my skin.Prices are ok but I'd be more ok paying them if everything went well. I've had better and I'll gladly drive a little farther to pay less for a better experience.

I have yet to find somewhere to get my nails done that I like better than Samantha's. I've always been seated within minutes of arriving (I do always call ahead for an appointment), and their color selection is great. I always receive a gel manicure, and they rarely chip- I get them redone every 3-4 weeks simply because my nails grow out. Their prices are slightly higher than other salons I've gone to, but it's well worth it to me. I'd highly recommend going here, but I also recommend calling ahead for an appointment. Read Less

We called after reading the reviews about the cleanliness of this spa. We were able to get in before heading out on the road for our next stop. The reviews were right, very nice clean place! The pedicure has to be one of the best ones I've ever had, my nails looked so good I could have just had clear polish and looked great! I haven't seen my toes look that good in 30 years and my calluses were gone and my feet soft and smooth.
