    oval shape, medium-short as requested Color: Diamond gel #24  Cost: $42 (included removal of previous dip manicure)  Aesthetician: Samantha

    Samantha (the owner) is kind, talented, and friendly. She remembers customers and has set a calm atmosphere. The other employees are also professional and courteous. They're also fast, but without sacrificing quality. The salon offers spacious room for manicures and pedicures, with a wide variety of colors and styles (gel, dip, etc) to choose from. I like how everything is organized, it doesn't feel chaotic like other salons sometimes do. I've noticed that some of the older reviews have lower stars and I was concerned. I asked the owner when she got the place, and she said it's been almost two years now, so I assume that the previous management wasn't as professional as the current crew. I usually like to try different salons, but I think I have found one I will be returning to regularly.

    This salon has been under new management since 2019. I have followed Sam, the owner, since 2010. She is extremely thorough and ensures that the customer is happy. I've followed her through the years because I can go 5 weeks or more without my acrylic nails lifting. She only uses the best products and ensures her team treats their customers the same.

    UNDER NEW MGMT and EXCEPTIONAL Customer Service! I was hesitate to give this place a try but Im glad I did. The new owner was very accommodating and genuine. Pictures of newly done and 5 days after (still looking sharp)

    STAY AWAY PLEASE....staff is friendly . But the products are cheap and craftsmanship is terrible. I've been getting my nails done with gel for YEARS!!! They normally last two-three weeks. I got a gel mani and regular polish on Saturday here. Sunday evening Most of the polish on my toes were gone. The gel on my hand started to separate and space apart. Now it's chipping off on some parts . Never had this happened. THEN I was told it was $45 dollars fine I paid and left . Today on my statement I was charged $ 69 my 10 tip turned into more. I was refused a refund but ask to come in and get it fix with the same cheap polish. Please don't waste your money here's

    They are the new modern powder dipped technique which I love!! It's so thin and un acrylic looking! Thank you Jenny!!

    I stumbled upon this nail salon through google search. I booked a appointment for 11 and was immediately sat down at arrival which is awesome to me because normally other salons make you wait. I am four days out for my wedding in New Orleans and I was extremely nervous because this is a new salon...well to make a long story short I am beyond happy and extremely impressed by the work Jenny ,my nail tech did for me. She really takes pride in her work and she was very OCD about making sure everything was perfect and every nail matched. She kept saying how important it was to her that my nails were perfect and she even gave me two free accent nails. She is truly a talented artist and beautiful and kind person i 120% recommend Jenny and this salon.

I'll be honest - I made more than 1 u-turn getting to the new spot, which is only directly accessible going northbound on Independence. If you're traveling south, you have to make u-turn. And if you miss it going north, you may have to make several. Now that I know where it is, I won't miss it again! Look for the red State Farm sign at the entrance to the professional center before turning in. I do really like this new spot which is solely for EA Esthetics. The entrance is lovely and welcoming, with beautifully-displayed retail merchandise to browse while you wait for your esthetician. It seems like an overwhelming selection of serums, lotions, washes, etc. but you will get an expert-recommendation after a consult with Emily or the other staff. On this visit, I was taken back for my treatment right at my appointment time. Amanda was kind enough to make sure I was comfortable before beginning - I was in for a long haul (2+ hours!). About halfway through treatment, I got chilly and she had a cozy blanket ready for me. She explained each step of the process so I knew what to expect and I was so happy with the results. I was a little scared at how dark my brows were initially, but as promised, they lightened to a perfect tint within a couple of days. Their website is so easy to use for booking and gives a detailed description of service and prices. For both my brows and lashes, it cost over $200, but this definitely seems to be competitive with other VB spas. I was incredibly happy with my results and will return for touch-ups, as recommended, in a few weeks. I have had a great experience each time I have been in and highly recommend Emily and Amanda for any skincare need!

    The service here was disappointing, especially given the price. I brought my 16-year-old daughter…read morein for prom prep, including brow and lip waxing, a pedicure, and a full set of nails with designs. I clearly explained everything she needed to the front desk, but that information was never communicated to the staff, which created confusion from the start. Lily, our nail tech, was kind and professional, and the nail designs looked good initially. However, my daughter's nails began chipping the very next day, which is unacceptable for a service meant for a special event. Lily also performed the waxing. While the process itself seemed fine, the wax used on my daughter's eyebrows left her face extremely red, which raises concerns about the products being used for facial services. On top of that, I waited over two hours and was not offered even a basic courtesy like a beverage. For a total of $183 plus a $50+ tip, the level of service and quality did not match the cost. Overall, while the staff was polite and the designs were nice at first, the poor communication, subpar results, and lack of attention to customer experience mean I will not be returning. I now have to find another salon in North Carolina to fix issues right before my daughter's prom. Update: another nail chipped...I will NEVER come back to this establishment!

They put the timer in your face to be like here ten minutes set for your massage and then don't even do it. They are walking away getting stuff, cleaning up, just not massaging you.. Also they are sooooo sneaky with trying to upcharge you. I specifically tell them I want a certain pedicure then they come around and ask if you want a different scent in the middle of your already set pedicure (which is going to upcharge you to the next pedicure). And lastly the work is just rushed and shitty. They paint your nails and they already look grown out. Like paint the whole nail. Idk just shotty work. Edit: They took me back and to fix the situation he just painted over my 4 coats so I had thick ass paint. Someone noticed and after he finished they came over and removed it all and redid it and gave me 20% off. Good job fixing the situation but will 100% not be back.

There is a location within Lynnhaven Mall if you're closer to that location. The ladies who work here are polite, yet very reserved. Not a lot of chit chat going on. They do acknowledge you as a returning customer and try to get to know you and what services you gravitate towards. Communication is imperative if you don't want your brows done they want them. Speak up before she begins and tell them what look you're trying to achieve. On the weekends, it can be busier. I've always walked in but if you are having multiple areas threaded, you should discuss an appointment to avoid waiting. Without an appointment, you kinda just sit and wait and try to figure out who's next based on when someone arrived. There are males that come here and receive threading services. So if you're looking to get rid of or accentuate your unibrow, they can help with that. If you're new, ask for a punch card and bring it with you on your visits. After a few visits you can redeem for a free brow threading. Cash, credit card and contactless pay are supported here. I'm unsure if there is a restroom open to customers, I've never been there that long that I needed it. I would return here for threading services.
