    Updating my review. Unfortunately this was the place I would come alone as well as rave about with girlfriends and have a friend pedi time. However. The last two times I went really did in for me... Bad customer service. Rushed through. Bad job. A 25-30 min regular pedi turned into a 10 min pedi. And my mani ended within 8 min...8!! And didn't get a hand massage. Contacted them via fb to let them know what happened...and didn't hear anything so reached out ahain and just got "sorry." Taking my business elsewhere....

    I'm posting pictures of my toes so that YOU can be the judge of my experience, and decide if you would pay for the same service. Do not recommend. Will not be returning, obviously.

    Changing my review from 5 to 3 stars. When I went to pay, there was a significant price increase with no notice. I asked the owner about this & he said the tech "changed the prices without letting him know." TIP: call to ask about prices to not be surprised.

    Bumpy pinky nail

    This was one of the most bizarre nail experiences I've had. I made an appointment based on the recent positive reviews, and now hoping my experience was a one off. Even with an appointment, it took a long time to be serviced. I noticed lots of running around and shuffling of things and people - they seemed overwhelmed with 5 customers in the shop. I was in a bind leaving for a business trip early tomorrow. Otherwise would have left. My service started with cold water to soak my nails and cuticles in. That seemed off. My technician sat down and started cuticle removal and was then interrupted and disappeared for a while. Super weird. All but 1 of the customers that checked out while my nail service was being completed were either 1. charged incorrectly (and chased into the parking lot/brought back in for correction) or 2. Left to wait for 10+ minutes. Another customer next to me questioned her cuticle removal, the technician said he couldn't do any better, got up, left and she was left sitting without much (any?) communication. She was in the salon long before me and my entire service was completed prior to her even being acknowledged again. My gel didn't seem to cure correctly and ended up being a bit bumpy vs the nice, flat consistency it should be. Some discoloration as well. Overall, not the best $38 manicure I've ever gotten. Won't be returning.

    I've been here a few times now, each time with the experience getting worse and worse. I went in last Friday for a pedicure and gel manicure and unfortunately I don't think I'll be returning. My nail technician, Lin, (who also did my pedicure the time before this) rushed me to get into my chair for a pedicure even though 1.) I wasn't finished trying to find a polish for my toes yet and 2.) it was in the early afternoon on a Friday and the shop was not busy at all. This was really off-putting and a weird start to the appointment. Then she starts to work on my feet like she's angry at them. I must have said "ow" three times before she finally backed off a little. And please note I'm not someone who is super sensitive. I rarely say anything, even if it gets to be a tad uncomfortable. After the harsh cuticle scraping and foot scrubbing ended, the rest of the pedicure was fine. Then we moved on to the french tip gel manicure. Same ordeal there. She scraped back my cuticles incredibly hard, causing me to say "ouch" a couple more times. Then she made me bleed - TWICE. The overall look of the nails was good so I kept my mouth shut and paid the $90. But now that it's only been a week and my nails have started to chip and bubble at the sides...I am so angry. I've had gel nails done sooo many times in my life and they've always lasted me at least 3-4 weeks before any signs of wear and tear begin to show. This should not be happening after only a week. I advise the nail salon to adjust their prices according to the result of their services. For a gel nail polish that chips after a week, it should be $20, not $55. That or the application of their services needs to be done to a much higher standard to justify the price.

    Got a gel pedicure here with some friends, staff were friendly, and they were quick to serve us with our reservation. Everything was clean, a beautiful and modern interior/decor. I had a positive experience, my toes turned out well and I plan to go back!

    This is such a nice salon and I'm so glad I found it! I came in for the first time on a Friday morning just as it opened. It was quite packed with a bridal party of about 10. Although they were pretty packed, I was still in and out with a pedi and dip mani. I didn't catch the ladies name who did my pedi, but she did it well! My mani was done by Ken who was superb!!! He admitting hat he took his time, and I was extremely grateful. He was thorough and precise with each nail, from the cut to the color. He finished the dip mani with the finishing polish. I was relieved to not have the gel light applied to the dip powder. I got color NU-94 on nails and Lisbon Wants More OPI on my toes, similar color but not exact. The service was fantastic, but this place is very updated and clean!!!

    My daughter got her nails done here. Look at it...janky.

    My daughter got her dip done here. She had asked for several colors and she said they were out of everything she picked. She went with this one. She texted me crying. When she got home I called and said I was bringing her back up. They said they would fix the paint on the fingers but if she wanted the color changed it would be $25. My daughter didn't want to hurt the lady's feelings. I paid it to get out of there. We will never go back. A 7 year old could do a better job. We will never be back.

    Johnny did an awesome job on my fill and shellac. He assured me I could request any changes to shape and made sure I liked the color before doing all my nails. This salon hasn't been around for long but I will definitely be back and I recommend it!

    Pedicure area ten chairs total, very comfy!

    Great nail spot! I am visiting KC for the weekend and I desperately needed a pedi and mani. This place is so cute plenty of space and very clean. Everyone I interacted with was so polite. As I came in I was offered soda or water. They lady did a wonderful job on my toes I stubbed my toe and broke the nail across she hid it beautifully. I got a manicure reg. Polish $17 and signature pedi $33. If this was my home I would def. be back but locals come on it! Great experience

    Pinky nail day 7
    Hollie G.

    I wish I couldn't even give this a star. I was a very loyal customer to Awesome Nails and Wax. Last Monday I went in with my boyfriend to get pedicures and a new dip set for me. I spent very close to $200. $185 to be exact. That night after my nail appt my left pinky was extremely painful. Do the point I couldn't touch it without wincing. The next morning I woke up to find my pinky tripled in size. By Wednesday I had puss coming from underneath my pinky nail along with all of my skin surrounding the nail blue/ purple. I then got started on Augmentin to hopefully save my finger/ nail. Today I went back to awesome nails to ask them to remove my remaining nails and asked for a gift card to replace a new dip set for whenever I feel brave enough to go back there. In response they told me it was essentially my fault and the loss of my pinky nail was from me " hitting it on something" . Offered to take of my remaining nails for free and give me a 10% next time I come back.. what a hard smack to my face for being a "loyal customer" I'm appalled, furious, and regretful. I will never go back.

    Excellent service trough and through! Very accommodating, polite and beauntidily location. Nice electronic sign in system as well. I've been to this nail salon 4 times already and they've never disappointed me. I got my nails done by Amy every time and she absolutely nails it! *no pun intended* I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone wanting to experience a new place!

    I often go here to get my nails done, thanks to the very reasonable prices- especially compared to…read moreother nearby places. The general quality is good, but not great. It can be somewhat inconsistent based on who you are with any particular day. However, my thoughts on this are based on my own preference for designs, often slightly more delicate ones. If you're going fairly simple, I wouldn't imagine you would really have issues. It is a relaxing place to be, and the techs are always nice. I do think they're more limited in the colors they offer than most places I've been, and I don't like that, but again, I generally come in wanting fairly specific things.

    ***DO YOUR RESEARCH ****…read more I used to come to this salon regularly and always had a good experience, so with my upcoming surgery, I thought it would be a perfect time to treat myself to a pedicure. I even booked with the same technician who used to do my nails years ago, which made me feel confident about coming back. Unfortunately, I left really disappointed. I booked a deluxe pedicure, but what I received barely qualified as a basic one. She trimmed my toenails, soaked my feet briefly, quickly filed the bottoms for a few seconds, gave a super short massage (maybe a minute per leg), and then painted my toes. That was it. I had to stop her to ask if this was the deluxe, and she told me it was the regular one--then asked if I wanted the deluxe. But by then, the service was basically done. There was no cuticle work, no check for ingrown nails, no detailed care--none of the basics I expected. My daughter even called the salon afterward just to ask what a regular pedicure includes, and cuticle care was listed. The deluxe includes everything I mentioned plus hot towels and foot scrub. I cant believe people are paying this type of money for these services. I would pay this much all day for a real pedicure. I didn't even get that. What I got was basically a toe trim and polish, and for $53, that's unacceptable. She was nice and the polish looks good, but this didn't feel like a pedicure at all. Since my visit, I started reading some of the reviews and responses from the manager--and honestly, that raised even more red flags. A professional manager doesn't respond with snarky remarks or "pull camera footage" on unhappy customers. That's not how you build trust or invite people back. If this is how customer concerns are handled, I'd be shocked if this place stays in business long. Based on the service I received today, I can't imagine why anyone would return. I really wanted this to be a relaxing, feel-good experience before surgery, but instead I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I was going to speak up and say something, but I politely paid and gave her a small tip. I usually tip big. I was going to get back into doing this regularly including my nails, but will do research first.

I don't know it seems like maybe the owner needs to take a marketing management classes on how hair business runs. Unbelievable never have been somewhere so cheap at this point just run the hair salon in ur basement if you can't afford putting enough product in ur clients hair for best results. I was NOT satisfied and didn't get what I asked for I think it's because of the LACK of product applied. I mean I can tell even by reading the review that the owner is a cheapskate and has poor communication skills instead of focusing on customer satisfaction. Maybe then you'd learn that underwhelming service and poor communication don't exactly scream "luxury salon." Reading the owner's responses to reviews alone tells you all you need to know: passive-aggressive, unprofessional, and clearly allergic to accountability. Sad to say, but this place really is for people who think half a pump of mousse is a flex. Unbelievable.

Here is my experience: Location: 9/10 I love that TFB has three locations - KC, OP, and Olathe. I had the pleasure of having Cecilia do my facial. The establishment was easy to find and parking was ample. Bonus points for it being close to my house! Vibes on Deck: 10/10 From the vibey music to the comfortable decor, this place is the ultimate spot to relax. I immediately felt comfortable and I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. I also enjoyed the natural light from the windows. It is open concept with several tables lined in a row, but I was the only one in there and it was fine. Service: 10/10 I got the Bar Method Facial, which is $65! It was incredible and I was so relaxed! Cecilia is so gentle and does a great job informing you of what product she is using and what it is good for! I also appreciated the facial massage I got, which was heavenly! This was the best 30 minutes I spent today because it was just enough to get my skin glowing while giving me the boost I needed to finish out my day! I also liked that Cecilia made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Products: 9/10 I am not familiar with Rhonda Allison skincare, but Cecilia did a great job explaining what I needed for my skin without being pushy on changing my skin routine. She listened to my needs and there was plenty of product to go around. For the price of what I purchased, it was not too expensive. Overall: 9.5/10 This was an excellent experience and I am SO excited to go back next month! I love how collaborative Cecilia is and she works with your best interest in mind. You owe it to yourself to get a facial!
