Thank you so much” Renee and Abbey from Sanctum, you so are so good at what you do! I love my brows and you delivered the most amazing facial. My skin has never looked so good; you knew exactly what was needed in order to re hydrate it. The massage was heavenly and so relaxing. Over all, a great salon with very professional, lovely friendly staff... I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone. Read Less

I'm giving 5 starts strictly for Mia. She did an amazing job on my nails, they were so short and damaged and she made them look so healthy and beautiful. She really takes her time and makes sure everything is perfect on a simple gel mani! Thank you so much Mia, see you in two weeks! Read Less

I just moved to North Arlington and needed a place to get my nails done. I checked Yelp up and down for a place to go and came upon NBB. I didn't know their prices, but because of all the mostly positive reviews, I decided to make an appointment with Mia for a fill, eyebrows, and a pedicure. I showed up for my appointment at 9:30 and was seen at about 9:40, which is fine. Mia was very meticulous about doing my nails. She spent a lot of time on them - over an hour for just an acrylic fill. I'd much rather that than someone who is trying to rush through it. And I was such a loyal customer to my old nail salon that I was nervous to try a new place out. My nails really needed some TLC and she definitely took care of them. I  got charged $55 for my nails - acrylic fill with a color gel. This seems really pricey to me because it was hard to tell what my service was based on their price list - Mia mumbled something about having to fix two nails, but if an acrylic fill is priced at $35, and a color gel fill is priced at $30, where did she get $55?) Also, repairs are not on their price list, so that seems odd to me, as well. Then I got a pedicure. I'm not sure if their pedicurist (a young hispanic woman/teenager(?)) has a license, because I didn't recognize her picture on their wall by the other licenses. She did a great job. She complimented my tattoo and when I wanted her to pay closer attention to my heels, she did. She spoke limited English, which was fine. She is such a hard worker because I was there a total of 2 and a half hours, and she did not stop doing pedicures the whole time I was there. Inexpensive pedicure too!Then my eyebrows were standard. Nothing outrageously great or wrong with that. Overall, I paid $85 for this service. Plus on the back of their business cards, if you fill it out 10 times, on your 11th visit, you get $6 off, which is great. Overall, I was impressed and happy and will be going back. Read Less

Went to Sanctum had the most amazing experience, it all starts the minute you walk in the front door, the décor is beautiful, the staff are so friendly and caring. Thank you Emma for a great job on my eyelashes and brows. My nails looks great and I love the organic products. Thank you for making me feel very special. I highly recommend Sanctum to anyone who wants to feel brand new. Thank you Renee. Read Less

When the owner is away the ladies don't give AF. I came in for a pedicure and was on the fence as to what I wanted for my nails. When my pedicure was finished I decided on a full Gel set. I was told no because I didn't tell them BEFORE my pedicure. I just got engaged and have a photo shoot and I now have to find another place that won't destroy my sensitive nails.  I loved this place. I will NOT be coming back. Read Less

My experience was mediocre. My manicurist was inexperienced and the chairs were well used (as in replacements need to be ordered!). Polish job looked like I did it at home so not terrible but not professional looking either. They clean with regular over the counter multipurpose cleaners not the appropriate disinfectants. Staff seemed friendly enough which is what the 1 star is for but there will not be a next time. A few upgrades and this place may be worth the recheck Read Less

I had an amazing facial today with the gorgeous and talented Ashley Crawford at Sanctum, Mount Maunganui. She knew her stuff and my experience was sensational. My skin feels amazing, I may even look a few years younger Thank you Renee & Ashley. Every girl needs a wee pamper Gorgeous location and retreat spa too. Read Less

Sanctum is a must, what a wonderful experience, on arrival greeted by very friendly staff, then offered a lemon water or cup herbal tea ,you sit and relax to calming music in beautiful waiting area, your therapist calls you in were you hop into a warm bed , I had my whole face waxed it was quick and pain free. eyebrows tinted, and eyelashes painted blue black ,then I had a heavenly facial, my treatment was of a extremely high standard, I can not wait to go back, us women really need this come and experience it for yourself. Thankyou lady's I will be returningRead Less

They charged me $25 (versus the $20 set price they have) for a pedicure because I was "a male." As if male and female feet aren't the exact same? The experience also left me with a toe infection and I will ABSOLUTELY not be back and will discourage anyone from coming here. Read Less

Much better experience the 2nd time around!!!! As you can tell, I don't really write reviews but when I do its because I feel the need to.  First time i went i did a full set acrylic for my friends wedding.  The lady that did them (dont remember her name but she was heavy set and was sitting in the first seat when you come in next to the owner) rushed through it and missed some spots.  On top of that she left them really thick and it didnt look natural. I also didn't think she was very nice. She seemed bothered about everything. I asked for my nails short and she sucked her teeth and told me "I didn't need tips, just to wrap my nails with acrylic".  Like how am i suppose to know these things. She asked me "what color" like 5 times and each time I'm like "I haven't really looked".  She was working on my hands when she gave me the box full of gel colors. I dont know how she thought it would be possible to pick a color without hands. 2nd visit was waaaaay better. That lady wasn't there and I did my nails with Mia.  She took her time and made sure my nails looked the same.  She even asked me if I wanted them short without me even asking.  It's like she could tell I like my nails short. I love the way she did them and to think I was going to go somewhere else. I also got a pedicure. The lady that did my toes was very nice.  She didn't seem like she had a lot of experience doing pedicures cause of the way she filed my nails but it didn't really bother me because she was so sweet. The reason why I didn't give them 5 stars was not only because of the first experience but because they are very pricey. I paid $65 for a full set acrylic w/ color gel, not including tip.  The 2nd time I paid $65 and it was for a filling, color gel, and pedí.  However, if your doing your nails with Mia or Lee (the owner) than its worth it. I WILL BE BACK TO SEE MIA!!!Keep in mind when going that they are Asian and the ladies that do pedicures are either Asian or Hispanic. They may not understand you very much but they are pleasant and they try their very best. THANK YOU MIA!! Read Less

The staff at Sanctum are so friendly, professional and fantastic at what they do ! My latest treatments from their Death by chocolate brochure was the most amazing experience. I had 3 different treatments and all were fantastic. The last treatment I had was a pure Fiji hot oil scalp massage. This was DIVINE ! I left the oil in all night and this morning when I washed and dried my hair, it felt like pure silk. It has never felt like this before. Everyone commented today about how shiny and healthy my hair looked. I felt amazing after it ! Thanks Sanctum for a truly relaxing experience. Highly recommend this place !!!!!!!! Read Less
