I scheduled for two people, but waited 15 minutes to start one, and waited an hour with no estimated start time for the other. Inability to stick to scheduled appointments. Do not recommend. read more

SUMMARY: First eyelash extensions ever and I am not happy. This was on a Thursday. Tech Nora was 30 minutes late. There was no initial consultation to determine what I wanted, such as "how long do you want your lashes, etc." I wanted "natural" lashes, but I found my extensions to be too long. Moreover, the process was painful, which I later found out shouldn't be! Definitely do not recommend and will not be returning. I arrived about 10 minutes before my 1 pm appointment time. The doors were locked but there was a lady sitting in a chair on the porch, so I waited with her. As we were waiting, I contacted my daughter who was "treating" me to my first ever lash extensions; my daughter informed that Nora had messaged her that she'll be 30 minutes late. I thought "fine, I've been late before" so I waited. Nora finally arrived around 1:30 pm and she rushed to get her station ready for me. Almost 10 minutes later, Nora called me to come to the back and she had me lay down on what appeared to be a massage table covered in a very soft blanket. I obliged. As she started the process, Nora asked how I wanted my lashes and I told her I liked what she had done for my daughter, so Nora replied "natural," and I said "yes." Then Nora put on the tape on my lower lashes, had me closed my eyes and poured some kind of liquid on my eyes. The liquid seeped through and stung both eyes, especially the left one. After getting that under control, Nora proceed - her work on the right eye was a bit painful and I could feel tugging after she glued on the extensions. However, the pain from the right eye did not compare to the pain I felt while Nora was working on my left eye! At one point, I felt like Nora had stabbed me in the eyelid! In retrospect, I believe Nora rushed through both eyes, especially the left one in order to accommodate her waiting client who probably had a 3 pm appointment. (You'd think that if you're going to be late for a 1 pm appointment that perhaps you should have moved the following appointment as well?) Afterwards, I felt pain in both eyelids, especially the left one, similar to the pain one sometimes feels after getting their nails done - not excruciating but still uncomfortable to deal with. (I experienced pain each day after getting my lashes done by Nora). Sadly, this was my first time getting eyelash extensions so I didn't know any better; in other words, I did not know that this was NOT normal. Nora's aftercare instructions, "do not get them wet for 24 hours." That was it. Less than 24 hours later, the very next morning, an eyelash fell out. Then another each day thereafter. All from my left eye! I texted Nora on the Monday after my Thursday appointment, explained that too many lashes had fallen out and asked her to get back to me about fixing it. No response. On Tuesday morning, I DM'd Nora on IG. I have now gone to another Lash Artist (Jen of Pink Blush Bar) to fix Nora's work and ended up having to remove the lashes and get a whole new set. Guess what? NO PAIN either during the procedure and after. Wow. And ... Nora had put on "fans" instead of the "natural" lashes that I wanted; and ... Nora had glued each "fan" lash to a clump of my lashes rather than separating them out! No wonder I was hurting! Also, the procedure took 2 hours, not less than an hour and a half that Nora rushed me through! NEVER GOING BACK AND CERTAINLY DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

I've been a client of Flor's over two years now and she never fails to take the utmost care of me. My skin has never been better. Flor really knows what she is doing. From microdermabrasion to Vitamin C treatments to chemical peels to waxing, Flor is amazing at it all. She got my skin wedding prepped with monthly facials and I was glowing for the big day. Flor is always so much fun to chat with and my treatments with her are a relaxing couple of hours that I always look forward to. read more

Flor is the best! She's professional, knowledgeable, and an amazing person that takes everything she does seriously. There's a wide range of services and I just keep coming back. Anyone in need of a facial or waxing services, this is the place to come. read more

I have been here before for a gel manicure and I remember being pleased with the service. This time around I'm not impressed with the customer service I received. I scheduled an appointment online for an acrylic fill and when I arrived at the salon the tech wasn't there. I wasn't in any sort of rush, so I waited while the front desk tried to contact the tech to find out where she was. It turns out the tech was at the DMV and I was more than happy to come back later that day because mistakes happen and I didn't have any plans. However, the tech was suppose to text me directly to coordinate the time I could come back and I never heard from her. read more

Came here to get my lashes done by nora. The process was excruciating. First she brushed my lashes so hard with the spooly brush that my lash line was rubbed raw. Second she stabbed me in the eye lid several times and when I jumped( cause it clearly hurt) she said "I barely touched you". The whole process took at least 4 hours for a volume set. And the icing on top was a few days later, almost all my lashes fell off. Not just the extensions, the real ones too. Will not be back read more

GO SEE LYDIA!! She is phenomenal, me and my husband just got a wax here about a week ago she did my brazillian, brow tint and wax and my husbands 'boyzillian'. Let me say I have had many brazillian waxes in the past but this wax was the quickest and least painful wax I have ever experienced, and she got every single last hair all while keeping a conversation and making us both feel comfortable, my brows also turned out amazing and the perfect color! My husband agreed that this is the only waxer we will see from now on, thanks Lydia!! read more

I've been trying to find Mary for the longest time!!! I can't tell you what an amazing job she does waxing. She is so fast and I can barely feel what she's doing. I heard of her from an old friend and I tried looking for her business again and I couldn't find her. But am soooo glad I found her again!!! She gets straight down to business, but still talks with you, makes you feel totally comfortable. Her prices are amazing!!! I am so glad that I can have her do my waxing services again! I highly recommend her business!!! read more

For my wedding I decided to get a pedicure at this salon with Nora Chaaoh. They looked great and I did not have any problems until a few hours later. I felt the pain in my toenails when walking, there was a lot of pressure and weight on them. When I finally got the chance to remove them this horrifying nail condition was under. I went to a doctor, who I dictated the weight from all the gel was crushing my toenails, causing bleeding under the nail and I will loose my toenails. So now my wedding night and honeymoon was terribly painful, I have irreversible damage and she charged me $50! read more

Nora has been doing my nails for a few years now and my nails always come out amazing. I have weird shaped nail beds and finger that had surgery and she makes my hands look fantastic. She's always on time and always able to fit me in even if it's late. I never have any lifting and no chipping and my crystals never fall off. read more

I've been seeing Flor for my skin care needs for years now. Progressively throughout that time, the quality of my skin has improved I believe due to seeing her. I am approaching 40 but still struggling with hormonal acne. At the same time the aging process is setting in around the eyes and smile lines. My problem is...I also have very very sensitive skin! So finding the right way to remedy my situation has been quite difficult. She has found the right combination for my skin. She offers deep cleaning, microdermabrasion and led light therapy to penetrate deep layers for maximum and lasting results. Flor also uses and is a certified PCA product user and authorized distributor. PCA is top of the line. If acne and/or fine lines is an issue for you, and you'd rather put off plastic surgery and work with your skin holistically for the time being... with amazing results... and you are serious about your skin then you should see Flor. read more

This review is for Lydia and the waxing services she provided. It took me a bit of research to find a place that does waxing on men. I like to call them "brozilians". I just finished my first waxing in a while and I must say that I am so happy to have found Lydia at Amethyst Salon. The space is comfortable and clean, and Lydia is a pube removing rockstar. I really felt like she genuinely wanted me to be happy with it. She asked questions to clarify what I was going for, took her time and was thorough, all the while carrying on a normal pleasant conversation. Also, the price is unbeatable. Thanks Lydia! read more

Couldn't be more pleased with the service provided at Amethyst Salon. Flor is a real professional that takes care of customers and ensures that they are comfortable throughout the service. The facilities are clean and cozy. I will definitely be back. read more

Nora was not even at the salon when we showed up on time. We waited about 15 outside for her to show up and open the salon. She Charged an extra $5 for a gel removal even though I was getting a gel manicure, which has never happened at another salon. One of my nails had a large raised piece and my pinky nail had a hair dried into it! Within 2 days half of my nails had chipped or broken. I have been getting gel manicures for years and never had this happen! My cuticles were cut to the point of bleeding but it still appears as if I need a manicure. Nora was nice but I wont be back. read more

I've been going to Amethyst salon for two years. This place is amazing. It's like my own hidden salon. The service that I receive is waxing. My services each time are phenomenal. I leave here happy and satisfied. After each appointment I plan to continue and go back. The staff, even though I have only worked with Mary, the other staff the greets me every time I walk through the door. They have all been courteous and nice. As for Mary, she is a wonderful person who is amazing. She has a passion for her job and her clients. She is the reason I continue to make appointments. The environment is comforting and bright. The waiting area is in with the single hair station in the salon. What they offer at amethyst salon is nails, pedicures, waxing and the newest hair. They have other products there like medusa makeup. The price for waxing is very reasonable. I have not found a place that matches the price of Amethyst Salon!! I would recommend people to try this place! I for sure will go back! read more

This place is awesome! I went here for my first Brazilian, something I've avoided my whole life out of fear, but one day I decided to get some courage and go. I was able to book my appointment in advance online. I was really nervous but I was greeted by a friendly girl. My experience was very comforting, I would laugh from the pain (it hurts the first time), but they made me feel comfortable. I got their student Brazilian ($35), which you can't find anywhere else. Very high quality and I look forward to going again! read more

A converted-house-turned-beauty-emporium near UNR's campus, Amethyst Salon has become my go-to for waxing! After trying a number of different places around town and shelling out at least $20-22 a pop for my eyebrow maintenance every couple of months, I was becoming increasingly irritated by the high prices and inconsistent quality of the services offered at other places around town. Then, I discovered this affordable, functional gem of a salon. Amethyst, while not exactly flashy, has the most affordable yet high-quality waxing services that I've been able to find in Reno. Lydia has become my favorite person to see for all things hair-removal, and she has done an excellent job every time I've booked an appointment with her. (She really went above and beyond last August to help me get ready before a week at Burning Man, where shaving my legs on the playa was not going to be an option!) Something to note: Amethyst uses soft wax with cloth strips instead of hard wax. I personally haven't noticed a difference in quality or comfort, but some people prefer one over the other. Also, be sure to book through their online portal. It's very easy to use! Happy waxing! read more

I have a few friends that swear by this place for their waxes so I finally decided to check it out myself. I got a Brazilian and it was amazing. I'm actually shocked that Brazilians could be so painless because I usually go to European Wax Center and they can be kind of aggressive with their techniques. I'll never go back to European Wax Center. This is the place to go. Flor was so thorough and really goes above and beyond. Plus, she does a free touch up within a week if some of the hair cycles aren't in sync. Student discount is a major bonus. read more

Flor is the new owner of this salon, and she is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I have seen her for a series of microdermabrasion facials. Her treatments are the quality of a high end med spa at a fraction of the cost. She is very thoughtful about her treatments, takes her time and delivers great results. I'll be a client for life : ) read more

What a cute little shop near UNR! I wish I had known about this place because I would have started coming here a long time ago. I called the morning after getting my nails done because they were just done Terribly by the Eyelash Connection in midtown. I described what fixes I wanted to my nails over the phone and they were MORE than willing to fit me in the SAME DAY hours after I called on a Sunday!!!! I came to the shop with my bf and we sat there picking out the problems that we both had about our nails. She sanded down how bubbly they were, re shaped the tips, used for to mend a fracture ( I cannot believe that my nails were already fracturing from my first mani... it had only been overnight.) She also re-gelled the surface, fixed the slanted tips, and send me on my way charging me next to nothing for the labor. I am SOOOOO pleased with this place and they have definitely secured me as their client. read more

Amethyst Salon has it all. Nails, lashes, facials etc. It's your one stop shop for all of your beauty needs.

I have gone to Lydia several times to be waxed and she is nothing short of amazing. She makes the appointment fun and engaging while being professional and competent. Lydia does a great job and I would never go anywhere else. read more

I was pretty nervous about changing hair stylist since I had been going to the same one for 10 years and the only other time I had ever switched it up and gone to someone else(not here) my hair was completely botched. I was soooo pleasantly surprised with how good my hair turned out. I called and got a last minute appointment and they made me feel very welcomed. I explained that I wanted very thin highlights to make it look more natural and it was done so very well. Alisia did an amazing job, made my hair feel so healthy with a micro trim and I can't wait to go back to her again. Thank you Thank you! read more

I used to go to Mary but then switched to Hanna. I love hanna, she is so thorough, friendly and professional. Last week I got a VERY unprofessional and rude phone call from Mary the owner saying " if I want to schedule with her I would need to hunt her down myself". Well, I did, she has moved to a much nicer salon called Revamp. I will follow her anywhere. read more

Love love love! I went today for the first time and I'm so glad I did. I was a walk-in but they were able to give me an appointment just half an hour later. I went in for an underarm wax. I am a baby when it comes to pain but it was virtually painless!! I had Jessica, who is super nice and personable. She made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions, also gave me some tips. She guided me through the whole process and explained everything. I will be back without a doubt. The prices are unbeatable and everyone is very welcoming as soon as you walk in. Definitely recommend!! Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the website to book appointments would not let me log on and make one. read more

I went here to get my nails done....well let's just say this is the worst place I have ever got my nails done. I am about to be 21 and for a young woman to say this is proof that you can do better than this place. She is a very nice individual but her nail art is terrible. I asked for this certain design which she said she could do. After she was done she said "I did my own thing. I hope you like them". How can a artist do this to a paying customer. Her art work was very sloppy, it looked like my nails were at a slope, and the lines for the nail art were completely Un-even. She asked me if I wanted her to re-do them but she finished at 7:30 at night and I had a wedding to go to the next morning. I said no because I truly would have done better and didn't want to waste any more time at this place. I came back to San Jose CA where the wedding was and got them done. read more

Had an appointment with Mary for my first Brazilian, and she was awesome! She made me feel super comfortable, answered any and all questions, and was just overall very attentive, and super nice! I will without a doubt be back, and recommend them to everyone! read more

Amethyst is under new owership so I went into have a facial with Flor (the new owner), what an amazing experience. She spent 2 hours with me and I felt so relaxed and pampered, it was truly the best facial I have ever had. I would definitely recomment treating yourself or a friend to her services, you won't be sorry! Miranda is a new nail tech at Amethyst, I have a hard time finding someone who does Silk (I am alergic to Gel & Acrylic). She did a great job, was very gentle and guarantees her work. She is willing to take the time to make sure you are completely satisfied. The prices at Amethyst are so reasonable and it was such an wonderful experience. read more

Mary is the best waxer chick!! She is very professional and always makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Go see Mary for all your waxing needs!!! read more

I found myself in Reno over the holidays and in desperate need or brow and bikini wax. I started at the spa at Atlantis. When I inquired about a Brazilian the staff was honest about the fact it's not their forte ad sent me here. (Big shout out to Atlantis - nothing worse than an incompetent wax, so I appreciate the honest heads up). I'm usually nervous to have a new person do my brows, but Jessica did a great job cleaning up and maintaining my shape. Also solid bikini wax. The salon is clean, though I'm used to paper on the massage table. All the other wax basics were good - wax was right temp, new sticks for each dip, and the right wax was used for the process. Oh, and others have mentioned, the prices are outstanding! read more

Nora arrived to the appointment 20 minutes late. When setting the appointment I said I was only able to stay for 2 hours and she said that wouldn't be a problem, but her arriving late cut into that time. I scheduled for a gel full set and she talked me into acrylic instead of gel like I had planned. She cut up my nail beds and didn't apologize although I was clearly bleeding on more than one finger. The plan was to do gold leaf on every nail - based on her instagram portfolio she seemed perfectly capable of a little over-the-top design - and she took so long to do the shaping (for a simple ballerina/coffin nail) that we were only able to do 1 nail in the gold foil. The worst part is that she charged me $65 when the website says $45 for a full set, which I could understand if I got a difficult/time consuming shape or design but I didn't. You look at the pictures and try to tell me these are $65 nails. read more

Alyshia does my nails about every 3 weeks, and even if I don't know exactly what I want she always seems to do something awesome and creative that I love every time! She is super sweet and talkative and doesn't take too long for great quality sets! The pricing is very fair as well. Jessica is a great aesthetician and does my eye brows when I have the change to drop in, always does a great job and is also great to chat with for the 10 minutes or so. Love amethyst and always recommend them to my friends looking for a new place to go!! The glitter bar is pretty awesome too : -) read more

Jessica does my eyebrows every few weeks and she knocks it out of the park every time! My eyebrows are a good shape to begin with but she really accentuates my arch and makes them look sharp. I get so many compliments on them, and Jessica is the absolute sweetest gal! I'll never let anyone else touch my eyebrows as long as I'm in Reno! Update: Jessica has moved to Revamp Salon at 294 E Moana Ln, Reno, NV 89502! read more

I go to Alyshia and I love her. She free hands a lot of designs and I love that she does such an amazing job. Everyone always compliments me on my nails and I love that whatever I'm feeling, she can accomplish the design I want. And to top that off, I am SUPER indecisive and I can't decide on what I want. When I tell her, she doesn't get frustrated, she just gives me options and narrows it down to what I want. We always talk, and it is never awkward silence. Alyshia is amazing. And if you want to get your nails done, that last forever and are gorgeous, go to her. read more

Fabulous!! This was my first bikini waxing, so I was fairly nervous; and within a few minutes Mary made me feel completely at ease!!

I went here for a Brazilian because it is definitely the most reasonably priced place in all of Reno. However, this place uses strips, not hard wax. Brazilians are painful as is, and these strips only prolonged the pain. The Brazilian took about 40 minutes, 20-25 minutes longer than usual because the person waxing me had to use tweezers to take out the hairs the strip wasn't able to grab. Next time I'll just have to take some extra-strength Tylenol because the $35 price is better than having to pay $80 at other salons. read more
