    DO NOT GO HERE! YOU WILL REGRET IT! This will be my and my family's last time visiting this shop. We have been coming to this shop for the last few years. In the last few months the service and products being used have changed dramatically. We always get gel because it lasts but the last few times at this shop our nails have been uneven and the gel chips within a week or less. When we go back to the shop the owner Tina debates and argues with you refusing to correct the issue. My last visit here I made an appointment a day before my wedding anniversary. The shop waited until my appointment time to inform me that I had to wait because the person I made my appointment with was not there. After waiting another 30 minutes after my appointment time they finally placed with someone that while doing my pedicure gashed the heel of my foot, put pink tint polish on my toes, and left my cuticles undone. I informed Tina of this disaster of an appointment and as usual she debated with me, even after seeing the pictures, claiming the gash on the back of my foot looked like it was from a pimple! After claiming she would look into this, especially after my family has been loyal clients for three years. She called and said the staff was "scared" to do our nails because they "might not get it right".

    Nails are not properly filed around cuticle area

    me and two friends went. Def would not recommend. They kept stopping our service to tend to other clients. my nail lady stopped after putting my tips on and spent about 20m doing someone's lashes. also, my nails look terrible because they were rushing. They're bulky, not properly filed/sanded and just a hot mess.

    Under new management and it's great!!! Got my nails and feet done and I love it!!! I have this issue with my baby toe that happens every winter and usually I have to go to a foot doctor to have it resolved. Tina was able to get it resolved for me!! I love #1 nail spa now!!! Will definitely be back!!!!!!

    FANTASTIC!! I called prior to coming just to check pricing and then arriving at the salon the energy was phenomenal!!! Had a pedi done and fill in and Gwen did wonders on my feet and Tom did outstanding on my fill in! I will definitely be coming back since it's close In the area! THANKS AGAIN

    Why does this look like a weeks worth of grow out?

    I have tried to give this place a fair chance. I used to go here when they first opened. It was just the husband and wife. The wait time was terrible because they didn't have enough staff. I found another salon closer to my work. A few months ago, I decided to give them another chance. I was in on Saturday 10/16/21 for a dip color service on my natural nails. Tina must have been in a rush because they did not look good, they were too thick, shape was different from nail to nail, and the edges were rough. I had rhinestones applied to two fingers for $8 additional. The stones started coming off that night. Fast forward to Monday, one and a half days later. I go into the salon to have them repaired. Martin said he could fix them. He tells me that I shouldn't have had the stones applied to the dip powder. He said I should have told Tina (owner) that she couldn't apply them to dip. REALLY? He then says that the stones fell off because I didn't take care of them. Uhm, Hello. I had my nails done, went on a dinner date with my husband on Sat evening, Sunday to breakfast, and Monday to my OFFICE. I went to the salon immediately after work. While Martin is doing my nails, I have to point out SEVERAL issues (too thick, not going to the edge, a bump where he applied too much powder) that he didn't see to notice. He left black color on my fingers (I had to ask for the acetone to take it off my SKIN). After several phone calls to his wife (Tina) he did give me a gift certificate for the $8 that I paid for the rhinestones. Not once did he apologize for the inconvenience of me having to come back and spend 90 minutes of my day so he could try to fix the awful mess I came in with. I will NOT be going back

    Tina is great at what she does and the best thing about it when I walk into the salon she smiles and calls me by name.

What are the odds? I booked right away. I later found out that she had a cancellation. When I arrived I was a little out of my head because I thought I would be later, Molly was absolutely amazing. She essentially calmed me down. Which was awesome. The wax shop is very inviting and quaint, I didn't feel like I was in chain establishment in a sense it felt like home. She was very nice. The room she does her waxing in is spacious but not intimidating. It was very clean and well organized which I loved. She explained everything that she would be doing from beginning to end our conversation was easy and helpful, she help me get through the pain .....FYI I'm a screamer lol! I ended my appt by booking another one because she was just that great. I also felt that her pricing was very reasonable. Overall this a great place to get waxed I wish I'd found it sooner and I look forward to my appt.

    I was extremely excited to have found this Ms. April, after looking at reviews and finding that the…read moreother Electrolysis that I was looking at was closed, in order to better prepare for seeing patients during a Pandemic. After calling and leaving a message, she was quick to return my call. It was like others had said. She was easy to talk to and it was if we had known one another forever. I scheduled with April and arrived for my appointment, with no issues. She treated me for about 45mins and was most pleasant the whole time. Again, her bedside manner is spectacular. She made mention that she had elderly family members and that she may have to abruptly cancel, should something come up with them. I get that. Life happens. I scheduled using the app for my follow up appointment for a Saturday. The day before said appointment, Ms. April called and left me a message that she was going to have to reschedule because it was her birthday, and her kids were taking her on a surprise getaway...Again, I get that (although professionalisms would have called for the kids to check the schedule...first blatant red flag). However, what I didn't and don't get is how one could just blow a client off. Rescheduled my appointment, again through the app for that Monday. I text her and sat in the parking lot for 20 minutes. After texting again and calling with no response, I got out the car and approached to knock on the door. The lights were on, and I could see that someone was in the office space. I went back to call again. Still, no response. It has been a week and a half. I still have not heard back from Ms. April. If she thought my case too difficult or just didn't want to pick up new clients, I surely wish she would have simply said so. It would have saved us both a lot of time. Luckily, I was so distraught after letting all my hairs grow out in preparation for my treatment (only to be stood up) that I ended up calling back the Electroliysis in Cary. She has given me a straight forward plan of attack for my treatment plan, unlike Ms. April who told me to "pick a side" that I wanted to work on when I came back. Maybe I dodged a bullet? Just be leery! She is definitely a kind person, but less than reliable.

All three of us had birthdays in August, so it was the perfect opportunity to have a treat as well. Manicures and pedicures are not typically my thing, so I didn't readily have someplace in mind. I did a Google and Yelp search to find a place that had good reviews. I came across Posh Nails off of US Highway 17 in Garner and decided to go there and see if they allow walk-ins. Luckily, when I arrived they had availability and did allow walk-ins so the three of us were seated right away for our pedicures. It's a nice set up at this facility. They also have free beverages available while you're being serviced. Christina was my nail technician. She did a great job with my pedicure and my manicure. My parents pedicure and manicure also went well. There were two things that I observed during my visit that threw me for a loop. (1) I was unaware of an additional service charge separate from the cost for the manicure and the pedicure. My first thought was that the beverages aren't really free, and there's a secret charge for the beverages but when I inquired about what it was for, I was told it's because I had two different services done. That struck me as very odd. Some nail salons actually give you a discount if you're having a combination manicure and pedicure service. This was the very first time that I heard of a service charge because I had two services done instead of one. I was eager to see the bill so that I could see exactly how it was listed, but conveniently enough, I did not receive an itemized bill just a credit card receipt. (2) My technician set up a small fan so that I could have my nails dried before I left the facility; however, my mother's technician tried to have my mom leave right after he finished painting her nails without drying them first. It took my father's technician to point out to my mother's technician that he needed to dry my mom's nails first because they were still wet. I was quite surprised that my mother's technician thought it would be OK to not dry her nails before letting her leave the facility. Overall, our visit went well, but because of those two instances I mentioned above, I have reduced my score from 4 to 3.

We had a wait of 15 minutes then we were off to get our pedis. The pedicure we selected was the basic Herbal Pedi. Price was it is comparable to market rate of you wanted regular nail lacquer but if you wanted gel polish the price was a bit inflated. The pedicure was great. They have this weird, misplaced intermission where you are whisked off to the back and placed in a barely lit, serene, zen room to have your feet dipped in paraffin, massaged, and tucked in a chair with blanket!!! It was far out and unexpected but so relaxing I actually dozed off. But alas I had to rejoin the brightly lit front to finish my pedicure so after 15 mins it was back to business. The were some not so great moments: *beverages aren't offered. If I am going to spend a benji on pedis, I expect to be offered water a least. *for gel colors, I felt their selection was limited. *the two young men working in the front had slight attitudes, not the best first impression since they were the two working the desk the most. *one girl came in around 5 pm to get a fill-in and was told the wait would be 30 minutes..they let her sit for 10 mins then told her she would have to come back the next day because they was no availability for the rest of the day...she was pissed. *someone's shoes were stolen from the toe nail dryer area...it was weird but it happened!

Unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing. I had an appointment scheduled for 11:00 a.m., and upon arrival, I was told to wait. After 20 minutes, I asked the owner about the delay and was informed that the technician had an emergency and left. I asked who would be doing my nails, and the owner simply said, "whoever is available." I continued waiting for up to 35 minutes, and no one came to help me. I eventually let the owner know I was leaving, and all she said was, "I'm sorry--come back tomorrow." I understand emergencies happen, but there was no communication, no attempt to find a solution, and no regard for my time as a loyal customer. Sadly, I won't be returning.

I have been to…read moreseveral different spas, and this place is at the bottom of my list for customer service. While waiting for my appointment, a massage therapist walked out into the lobby, with her mask down, eating a snack and playing on her phone. I know people are at work and need breaks; I just did not think this was professional in the front lobby of the spa. My appointment was at 5:15pm. No one said anything to me about my massage therapist running behind. When I asked if she was late or what was going on, the receptionist's response was "Well, I have only been here half a day, so I don't know." ...... (????) When she returned, she did not apologize or provide an update; she simply sat back down at the front desk. My therapist came out shortly after to greet me and walk me back. There was no apology from her for running late and she did not introduce herself at all. She simply asked if there was any area she needed to focus on and left the room for me to undress. However, all of this being said, the massage was great and definitely worth it. I did ask my therapist what her name was when leaving, and the receptionist was very sweet and helpful while checking out. I just wish there would have been better service from the front end, so I would have been less annoyed going into my massage.
