I have been to this salon several times. Today I showed the manicurist a photo of the shape I wanted - natural- and despite this except for one pinkie my nail shapes are different shapes more oval and square oval. I believe she tried but I'm surprised she couldn't do what I requested. I had a gel powder removal and redone for 50 and left a 20% tip but I don't think I'm going to return. read more

I was in desperate need for a manicure and pedicure before my trip and Nancy definitely got me right. I did some research before checking out this spot and they received some great reviews. Upon arrival they were very welcoming. Nancy did my services and she a wonderful job. They are very attentive to the customers needs and understanding what you want. The price is also very reasonable for their services which you cannot go wrong. I would definitely recommend you checking this spot out. read more

The good: prices are cheap and staff is friendly. The bad: I had an appointment but it really didn't seem to matter, I had to wait about 20 min past my appointment time because there were a lot of walk ins. Also, the gel polish they used only stayed on about 2 days, which is obviously disappointing for a gel manicure. Don't think I'll go back. read more

I came in for a fill about a month ago. They were very busy! One woman started the process and told the woman with glasses to finish. (I was told on a previous visit that she doesn't do acrylic nails so I thought this was strange.) I tried to tell the woman with glasses how she was hurting me and going too close to my actual nail. However, she didn't understand English do she just continued. This is the same staff member who did the pedicure too rough and scared my foot! Only after I started crying is when another staff member offered to finish... Why have staff who are not trained in acrylics do the work? It's not safe nor good customer service. Going forward, I've insisted on anyone to do a fill except the woman with glasses. read more

The ladies are super nice and sweet but the quality is not the best. They don't throughly clean your cuticles, they kind of half way do things, the quick easy way. The color I chose made me look like a dead person so I ended up having to find a nail polish in my home and re do them. read more

Wow, I didn't realize I was one of the first reviews. Two years-ish I am back. The store is no frill. Maybe it's because I came in the morning but I appreciated that it was quiet! No constant chattering, cell phones or blaring TV. I got a normal manicure and pedicure. No gel, acrylic or dip. And no "spa pedicure". So, my review is somewhat limited. I have a love hate relationships with pedicures and manicures - I love how it looks but the skin around my nails constantly gets cut up anytime I go to a salon. The manicure/pedicure Tiffany did was efficient, done with attention to detail and gently done. The gently done is enough for me to come back. Some minor-ish complaints was that I didn't see a top coat on my pedicure. Not sure if the polish type already had it. But when she finished and stepped away I was awkwardly sitting there unsure whether she was done. You can pay and tip with card or cash. read more

Hey Lalu'a, looks like you guys have some competition! ;) If you live in the Wheaton area, you already know how hard it is to find a nail salon that's clean, properly staffed, and excels at what they do. Fantasy used to be a good bet, but now it's hit or miss. Lalu'a is a favorite in the area, and because of this the wait might make you cry. Enter AV, the brand new salon that's just a few minutes from our beloved Lalu'a :) It's a well-maintained little oasis for someone who just wants to take a break. Splurge and get the spa pedicure. It's $35 and well worth the money, especially if you experience foot/ankle pain. I can't wait to come back again! Ladies, thank you for making the experience so pleasant :D read more

My husband gets his pedicures from Tiffany, Nancy or Kim and they are all great! During busier times, parking in front does get full, but there's meter parking on the side streets or in the lot behind the building if you need it. Although they take walk-ins, I always call before I arrive or schedule an appt so I'm guaranteed to see Andy. read more

5 week update: still sticking to the 4 star review but quality of service depends on who you get. Unfortunately a younger lady scrubbed the heck out of my cuticle until it was bleeding. The rest of my cuticles look great but she was too overzealous. Her gel mani also deteriorated the quickest granted I had longer nails by that time. I went ahead and trimmed my nails to get rid of the cracked polish. Also I wonder if the cnc brand of color simply isn't as resilient as opi (which I had for my first mani and what I trust for traditional manicures). The first older lady did the best job in terms of promptness of service and how long the mani stayed. I felt like the young man did a good job too but he asks you to put your fingers under the lamp for so long my fingers literally had that sore feeling from staying out in the sun too long. read more

The girl who did my nails was named Sarah. She nipped my skin so badly that it bled for 20 minutes. She was rushing, and when I explained to her that she was hurrying, she gave me an attitude. I did not feel welcome. It was my first time in the area, so I wanted to try something new, but she turned out to be my biggest mistake. The equipment wasn't even cleaned and sterilized. I saw someone else's previous dead skin; she just wiped it away with a towel in front of me. On top of that, I noticed that everyone on the wall had a license except her, which made me even more uncomfortable. I will never come back. I wish I could give 0 stars! read more

It may look low-key but place is awesome. The employees are all kind and polite regardless of the cost of your package. I feel they value their customers. Everyone is professional and very skilled. The quality of the manicure is excellent comparable to more expensive salons. My manicures last forever and they are capable of doing all kinds of fancy designs. They spend lots of time with massaging me and exfoliating my rough spots even when I get just a regular pedicure. I love this place. If your near by give it a try. One warning this will make you spoiled. You won't be able to tolerate your average jane salon anymore. Your standard will be permanently set higher. read more

Great experience!! Not crowded. Easy to find. Better than dealing with crowded mall. Not fancy but very clean. Could not figure out massage chair but I don't like them anyway lol. Had spa pedicure. Was great! Included a scrub and extensive leg and foot massage. Parafin dip would have been a great extra. I don't think they do them but I forgot to ask. Plentiful public parking at metered lot behind Los Chorros restaurant. Shop is right on Georgia in historic strip mall right near the intersection of University and Georgia. Where the old Planters Peanut shop used to be, if you remember that! Doing 10 percent off all services right now, as an opening special.

Can't decide if it's a one star or two star place but the people were nice so I opted for 2. This place came highly recommended but the first thing I noticed is that it's not particularly clean. The floors had dirt crusted into the corners and baseboards near the walls. Perhaps this is due to being on a heavily traveled main thoroughfare. But it wasn't appealing. At my regular salon I see the instruments come out of a sanitized baggie. I never saw where the gal took her instruments from so I can't say if they were cleaned properly. I should have asked. When she filed my nails the file was 'well-used' (read old and over used) so I guess there's no law governing single use files here. I was less than thrilled about that. The manicurist was responsive when I started coughing and offered a bottle of water to me. I was grateful for that. They do have OPI- a good quality polish. Happy for that. It is now 3 days later and the tips of color are chipping off. Not thrilled. read more

I don't know if I just got a not-great technician, or if getting a regular (not gel or dip or acrylic) manicure leads to a different experience, but it's been less than a day and half and several of my nails are chipped and cracked. Two of them snagged on something, which tells me they weren't filed properly. One of them almost immediately flaked off at the top, the others are showing white because the nail polish wasn't drawn all the way to the end of my nails. The manicure was fast and efficient, but not particularly detail-oriented. I had to ask for two of my nails to be re-filed properly. My mom had another lady and also felt it was rushed and not of particularly good quality. Well, there goes $30 out the window. read more

I wanted to love this salon so much. I walked in and waited less than 10 minutes before I was seated. I got a full acrylic set with gel polish, medium length, coffin shape. The man doing my nails didn't get the shape quite right but they looked good enough. A few days later the tip of the nail on my pointer finger on my left hand broke off, two days after that the same fingernail on my right hand broke off as well. I went in to get them fixed and the young lady fixed them for free. Now here we are a week after getting those two nails fixed, both of the nails on my middle fingers have broken in the exact same place as the previous two. I'm not sure if the young man incorrectly applied my set the first time but I am very unhappy and will be removing the entire set and starting over. *update* my pinky nail has come completely off read more

I was a walk in. Didn't have an appointment and I didn't mind waiting for a nail tech. The person who did my manicure was rough and was hurting my feet with the tools and her nails. She applied the nail polish very thick on my big toes. It looked clumpy and not professionally done. When I told her she was hurting me she continued and I had to pull my feet away to get her to stop. I asked for another available mail tech to help me. She was more skilled and finished the job. She was tough when she moved my foot. I decided not to get my nails done or waxing. I was handed a piece of paper with $25 written on it. I paid, let my toenails dry and left the salon.

I called to inform the owner of this and she was very dismissive and unaccommodating. She told me there was nothing she could do and offered neither solution nor option. Her words verbatim: "I don't know what to tell you." I will say I did notice on the onset that she has an abrasive way of speaking. I took this to just be her personality, but now I see it's a cavalier disregard for the virtue of customer service. Needless to say, she lost a customer!

She consistently provides excellent service; professional, attentive to detail, and always respectful. It's the kind of simple yet truly effective customer care that keeps me coming back because I feel valued. The space is always tidy and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. Each year, I receive a birthday gift card as a gesture of appreciation for being a loyal client, and I genuinely value that recognition. Thank you, Waxpro Waxbar, for everything you do to keep me and the women in our community feeling clean, confident, and cared for.

I got my lower legs waxed for the first time EVER on Saturday. When I entered the shop, there was…read moreno one in the lobby to check in with so I hung around for about five minutes (I'd arrived about 10 minutes early, as the website says to do). There are Fiji water bottles in the lobby but no sign by them. I wasn't sure if they were included in the cost of the appointment or cost extra so I didn't take one. Maybe if I was bolder, I wouldve inquired. They sell a number of sugar scrubs and other products that you can use after your sugaring/waxing appointment at home. At 2:30pm, a technician came out with another customer who'd just finished and greeted me after closing out her appointment. I was definitely nervous but my technician put me at ease with light conversation and music (they let you choose what music you want when you schedule your appointment). I had initially made my appointment for sugaring but I was told that my hairs were too short and that wax would work better. I was a bit disappointed because I'd read about sugaring, but happy that my technician was able to provide good advice. It didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it to. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with silky smooth legs.

She also gave me super detailed home care instructions based on my skin, with multiple product options for each step.

My dad got the runners pedicure which is good for men. He had a lot of dead skin removed. My mom and I got the mango scrub pedicure. The massage chairs were comfortable.

The other thing I didn't like was the foot/leg massage. It was hardly a massage - no pressure applied at all. They did set a 10 minute timer to give us the full time. Regardless, the ladies were really nice and did a good job painting. Would come back!

I kept thinking to myself "is there a race I don't know about?" They have time estimates depending on which pedicure. I had a French tip and whichever pedicure that was estimated as ~40 minutes.

I'll actually be back because the salon is close to my new job and I liked the space, but THIS visit was not it. I normally wear long nails, but this time I told my tech I wanted them cut down to a medium or "smedium" length. I thought we understood each other, but unfortunately, they ended up way shorter than what I asked for. From the first few nails, I started pointing out that they were looking a little too short, but I didn't realize there was still going to be more cutting, filing and shaping. By the end, they were basically down to my fingertips. The shaping was another issue. I even asked what shape she was going for because some nails looked coffin while others looked almond. At that point, there wasn't much that could be done because so much length had already been filed away. I was vocal throughout the service about what I wanted and what I didn't like, and she said she understood me, but the end result was basically everything I said I didn't want. There may have been a communication barrier, because I genuinely don't know where things got lost. Her actual polish application wasn't bad, but once the length and shape are wrong, the rest really doesn't matter much. I still paid in full. I wasn't offered a discount, a future fix or anything else, which was disappointing considering I was clearly unhappy with the result. Literally was on the brink of eruption. This is probably the worst nail job I've gotten in years. I don't use the word hate often, but I really hate how my nails look right now. That particular tech will never touch my hands again. I am willing to give the salon another chance with a completely different nail tech because I otherwise liked the establishment and the location is convenient. I'm just praying for a COMPLETELY different outcome next time.

She cleaned them well and removed callus as well (extra charge). I could see this being a busy place but I got lucky. The pricing is average for this area.
