(Very late post). I decided to no longer visit the nail salon that I had been tending for several…read moremonths now due to feeling unheard about my nail care; I had also been on the hunt for a black owned nail salon for quite some time. Little did I know that Royal-Reed was literally located minutes away from my office! Nestled in St. Ann. The website to book your appointment was simplistic enough to follow. When I had a question, I was able to speak with someone immediately, who was friendly and kind on the other end. When I arrived, I was immediately taken up for my appointment - by chance, not by the person I originally booked with, but the owner instead. Mrs. Reed was so sweet. A wonderful conversationalist and entrepreneur. She informed me that her business was approaching their 5th year soon and described to me her vision for the future to help educate others in the profession. She was also able to explain to me of how to better care for my nail care concerns. When I got my pedicure however, I was placed with Dawn who is an up and coming artist. Baby...when I tell you she put work in on my feet, she put some work in. THE BEST PEDICURE I HAVE EVER HAD!! My feet were so smooth leaving the salon. Mind you, my appointment was on December 28th and the heels of my feet are STILL smooth (it's January 10th). Overall, the salon itself was nice and carried great energy. Mrs. Reed prides herself on practicing safe care for the clients staff and her artists. Royal-Reed has definitely found a client in me.

DO NOT GO TO LaVon Royal Reed in Saint Ann!…read more I booked with her and she did my xxl set for a show. She knew how long it would take because I told her my idea and length in mind. She knew she had an appointment at 1. My appointment was at 10. She didn't show up u til 10:20 and was rushing the entire time claiming she "needed to be on time" all of my nails are crooked, the top cost is patchy, the chrome came off basically all the charms. Charms fell off the day after. They're chunky and uneven and just not cute. I asked her if she could fix them and she banned me from making appointments! How are you gonna give me crap nails and then ban me when u say something? DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT ROYAL REED!!!

Not only did we start on time, my appt didn't overlap with other clients. No unnecessary chatter, professional & clean atmosphere.

Don't come here. This Asian lady is rude AF! Literally had me sitting and waiting because she said…read more"I was on my phone" and she couldn't clean up my brows. Mind you I'm already sitting in the chair. She didn't even come over to me. And I'm still trying to figure out how texting on my phone is making you incapable of approaching me as a customer. This is the only place I come to to get my brows done and I can't believe this lady just lost a customer FOREVER all because she was trying to prove a point about me being on my phone. I wasn't even talking on it. I was waiting/texting. So rule of thumb when you come here, don't be on your phone at all when you come to this place.

WARNING - DO NOT HIRE HER FOR A WEDDING Kyshamarie is an…read moreincredibly talented MUA. But her artistry means absolutely nothing because she lacks in professionalism and integrity. She showed up 2 HOURS LATE on the DAY OF THE WEDDING. She didn't answer an email the day before sent to all MUAs containing the schedule and details (we had 5 MUAs, we had a huge bridal party). She didn't answer my phone calls the morning of until the time she was supposed to be there. Then she texted me to ask me WHERE she was supposed to be. Her lateness cost us THOUSANDS of dollars because it threw the entire days schedule off. Our photographer & videographer sat idle for 2 hours & I'm not in the family portraits because I gave my slot with a different MUA to one of her clients. On top of that, I accidentally over paid her (I had made the cash envelopes for vendors weeks in advanced). When I asked for that money back, she GHOSTED ME. In effect she STOLE from me. This woman has NO INTEGRITY. Her only explanation for her lateness was that her alarm didn't go off and she didn't remember that she has contracted for a wedding that morning because it's typically her day off. This was after she charged a fee for working on her day off.
