Absolutely amazing !!! From the second you walk in to the time you leave, you feel like part of the family. Rose is beyond amazing if I could review more than 5 stars I totally would..... For anyone looking for mani pedi or etc ... i would highly recommend all the way Read Less

A totally relaxing atmosphere and one of the most comprehensive and amazing pedicures I've ever had. I've been here a few times and each tech that's worked on my gel nails or pedis have been friendly and wonderful. Read Less

I rarely write reviews especially if I have only been somewhere once or twice... I want to be sure my review is able to provide accurate information not simply to tell of one good or bad experience. That being said I have been going here for over 8 months now and I am rough on my nails. It is not uncommon for me to pick off or chip arrylic/gel nails within days. Joe does my nails and they still look great after 3 weeks. Unbelievable. I must be honest though you can not come here if you are in a hurry. I go on the weekend and usually make an appt but try to be sure I always have plenty of time to spare because I expect for them to be running behind. They do not let nail techs sit around and wait for appts. They are always working and busy so you may have to wait for them to finish up with someone after you arrive. I am willing to deal with this though since the quality is great and the people are friendly. Read Less

I got a gel manicure and the lady that did my nails has disfigured my pointer finger for the rest of my life. When she was shaving the nail plate (pink part) down she shaved to much off and created a crack far down the plate. Now the white part starts growing from and crack and I have more white nail than pink. Do NOT go!! The shape of my nails afterwards looked horrible also, and I had to reshape them myself when I got home. She also cut my skin twice while trimming my cuticles. What an absolute joke. Read Less

Walked in and they took care of me right away. Worked with Helen and she did a WONDERFUL job. Gel manicure was great. A little pricey, but I have no complaints about the service I received. Is a relaxing environment as well. Read Less

I recently moved to Dayton in August and was looking for a nail place. This was the first place I tried and the only place I have gone because I love it so much! I have gotten both manicures and pedicures here. The staff always makes me feel so welcome and always makes me feel so pampered every time I visit. They are usually not busy either if you go during the day (which I usually do). Zen is a tad more expensive than I am used to (most places from where I used to live had manis for $12 and Zen is $22). However, it is definitely worth it and my manicures always last. Read Less

Just got my nails done and it was not a pleasant experience at all. First the main tech started on it at 7pm were I request French Gel nail with a design and he rip my previous SNS nails which was painful and then hand me down to another tech once another guest arrived, the second tech was not good, she left the pinky nail looking like it was chip and with a noticeable bump, she try to file it down as call it a day, which I told her it look chip, then she finally proceed to paint it over, she was rushing and they were crooked . Finally finish at 8:30pm and over priced at $45 and fail to dona design! Read Less

The approximate 55 minute wait after being quoted 15 started my first experience on shaky ground, but Hang did such a great job it more than made up for the wait. However, I still have a love hate relationship with this salon. I was impressed and appreciate Hang's level of attention to detail (trimming cuticles, ensuring color thoroughly covers nails - including the tips), but hate that she does a better job than even the best at my home salon. I entered Zen worrying they wouldn't do as good of a job; I wasn't expecting it'd be better! Read Less

Crap shoot on who will do your nails as with most nail salons. First time I went, Helen did my gel nails. She did my gels better than anyone has ever done anywhere. Second time was Sophie. Super nice young lady and did a good job but her technique is a bit more careless. Pedicures are pretty cool. No complaints there. I just wish that when I make my appointments, I can get a specific nail tech. You never know who is working when you arrive for your appointment. Read Less

I took my daughter here for her 8th birthday.  We both got pedicures.  Shop seemed clean and the massage chairs were very relaxing.  The person who did my daughters nails did not speak to her at all and seemed unfriendly.  My nail technician, Rose, was not overly talkative, but at least smiled and seemed friendly.  Our nails looked great, but not sure if I'll go back.  I felt like just a number.

I had the spa mani/pedi here. Nothing impressive, average job. Cuticles cut twice so they were slightly bleeding. Also, the visit was not timely. Our appointment was at 5, and we didn't get seen til 545. By the time we left, it was 7. Read Less

Great manicure and pedicure. Only problem is that theres always a wait between steps because they are understaffed. There's a thing on their website that says 'Happy Hour! 10am-1pm 10% off a mani pedi combo'. Not true. I came in at 10:15 and I'm just leaving at 1:30. More expensive than Venetian. Less options of dipping powder. They definitely cut corners. Won't be back. Read Less

Hang, my nail tech, was really good! She took her time with my nails; this is probably the best mani I've gotten since moving out to Dayton (I've been to so many nail places out here and never satisfied).  Don't mind my short nails in the photo or choice of nail color (I'm not loving it, but that was my fault for choosing it haha). The quality was great though. Definitely will be back! Read Less

Easily the best nail salon in dayton. I had acrylic tips put on and wore them for 6 weeks without a chip or crack or even loosening. They didn't charge me to fix a nail i messed up and it's a beautiful, clean salon. Read Less

5 for my first experience a few months ago, 1 for my 2nd, today. I have a newborn (and a toddler), and a friend visiting. We decided to go with the kids to get our nails done, my first outing since the baby's arrival. My 2 year old can be occupied by a movie - for a while - and the baby just sleeps. My friend would only do a pedi and then manage them and/or walk around while I got both mani and pedi. We weren't entirely sure of our timeline, so we didn't make appointments. But I called ahead to ask if they could take us as we were heading over. The woman said yes. When we arrived there were 7 people getting nails done, everyone working seemed to be with someone (the place is big, so many empty stations). So we picked colors and waited. And then waited some more. I started to get concerned, two kids would get antsy if we waited too long.  I then told the woman we could shop or grab food and come back for appointments/at a specific time since they were all occupied. She said they were about to take us. Then we waited some more. Just as I was losing my patience they took us to pedicure chairs. We waited another 10 min or so there - the hot water had gotten cool. Finally someone came to take care of my friend. But I still waited. About 10 min after that I was fed up. My daughter had been watching Finding Dory for almost 40 minutes and I knew she wouldn't last. I went to my car, and my friend stayed and got her toes HALFWAY done. She told me the man doing them was hurting her feet as he cut her nails, so she didn't even have him paint her nails. He seemed very new. The woman still charged her the full $37 - she told her to come back to get them painted, but I live across town, have a newborn, and she doesn't have a car and is leaving tomorrow. She should have modified the price. Needless to say my friend didn't get her money's worth. And I still have gnarly looking post-partum nails. I wish the woman had just told me they were fairly busy and we'd have to wait a bit. We would have gone later in the day or made the appointments for the next, and had a better experience. They should have managed our expectations better, rather than saying they could take us when they couldn't.I'll look for a new place next time I want my nails done. Read Less

I was so impressed with the quality of their service. They're a little more expensive than most, but honestly, I'm not sure I can bring myself to go anywhere else now. They're super friendly and really do great work. I've had both a mani and pedi, both gel, and it just looks great. Please go here. They're so good. EDIT: There's sometimes a wait - it's worth it, stick around. Read Less

I waited a day to post this, thinking my experience might have a different perspective after a night of sleep.  Nope.  I will never, ever return here.  I took my daughter to treat her and myself to a gel manicure.  We walked into a virtually empty salon, and so they were able to get us in right away.  A polite young lady started on my daughters nails.  She pulled out clean instruments from a sterile bag and began meticulously working on her cuticles after a brief soak in warm water.  An older gentleman did the same with my nails, except no sterile bag.  By the time he was finished 5 of my 10 fingers were bleeding.  He kept putting a green liquid on them to stop the bleeding in order to complete the manicure.  Shame on me for not stopping the manicure at that point, but I didn't want to ruin my daughter's special treat.  Another thing that grossed me out was that he used his own long yellow fingernails to wipe off the excess polish on the sides of my fingers.  The tech that was doing my daughter's nails, used a tool to do this.  They salon appears clean and nicely decorated, however you won't catch me there EVER again.  I will post a picture of my soar nails.

Even though I didn't receive a good manicure the first time around, I'm giving Zen 5 stars for recognizing their mistake and taking the time to fix it for me. Their staff is very warm and friendly. Definitely a better experience than other salons in the area, so I'll be back. Read Less

I booked an appointment for a pedicure here for my friend and I to celebrate her daughter's 1st birthday. When we arrived they did not seem to even realize we had an appointment but we were the only people there so we were seated right away. The inside is beautiful and very clean and they even put plastic around the tubs. They had a nice selection of colors as well.I can only give this place 3 stars because our technicians did not speak to us the entire time. They conversed in their native language among each other so loudly my friend and I could barely hear each other talk. At one point the polish on my friends toes got nicked and she tried to get the technicians attention and they were looking at each other and talking so much she had to wave her hands in front of her for her to notice. I would love to come back as I love the inside and the chairs but the lack of attention to paying clients is not acceptable. Read Less

LOVE LOVE LOVE my nails! I'm only leaving 5 stars because I can't leave 10! I took a pic from Pinterest to Joe and even though he'd never done this style of design, he patiently worked until they were perfect! I am over the moon!! Read Less

I took a friend as a late Christmas gift. We were able to get in side-by-side. Ben and Bo were hilarious and we laughed and talked with them the whole time. (Thank you, Bo, for letting my friend keep all her toes! Here's your five stars!) My pedicure wasn't the best I've had but it was fun and the massage chair was fabulous. My friend's pedicure looked great. The salon was very clean. Everyone was very friendly. It was pricey for such a basic service so I probably won't go often but it was worth it this time. I recommend it! Read Less
