Been there many times before for a quick pedi, no complaints. A friend and I decided to treat ourselves, for the holidays, "mom's time" if you will... and scheduled appointments together. They were on time and that was awesome considering it was the Tuesday before Christmas. I showed a pic of what I like and am looking to achieve. She gives an example on the tip of my nail, which seems to look similar to my example. There it begins... extremely sloppy. She keeps pouring monomer over and over. It all pours into my nail beds. I thought it would be cleaned up, but it wasn't. She starts polishing, and then "forgot the whole assignment"...? I dunno!! Over all sloppy, then charged me $20 for nail art, but there is no art. She put a glitter coat over nude polish and waved a wand. And said "poof' you owe me $65".
I was surprised to find this nail salon! It's basically on the same lot as the Maplewood Walmart. It's truly a GEM! It was a spur of the moment type of day and we did not have appointments but they were very accommodating and we were in a chair without a long wait. PLUS We had just the basics...mani/pedi and a mani/toe polish change. Very nice service and Technicians. It's decorated like you are sitting beachside waiting for the catch of the day to come got off the grille! Hahaha I will be back.
In town visiting but wish I would've skipped this salon on my trip. The service was ok for the most part but the outcome was awful. I came in for a pedicure and full set with dipped powder. The pedicure was ok! Nothing special for $28 but it got the job done. May was my nail tech for both. My full set on the other had...NO. The shape is horrible. I asked for ballerina but received a mix of lipstick, coffin and slight ballerina on various nails. Outside of the terrible shape and sloppy color, she filed my skin until she cut me. I told her it was bleeding and burning, her response, "just wait". Like ma'am, wait for what?! It to bleed even more?! She continued with the service even after I asked her to please clean the cut. Very concerning because the powder seemed like it was getting in the cut and the cut is still very painful even today, the next day. I would say I caught them on an off day but based on the other review images, looks like this just isn't the best option in the area.
I had a good experience here! This place feels and looks nicer than your average salon. There's a nice water feature separating areas and little grass canopies that make it look like you're at the beach! They were able to fit three of us in without much notice at all, and the workers were very friendly. The pedicure I received was pretty standard but I enjoyed it and would absolutely come here again!
Oh. My. Gosh. Dropped in while I was visiting from out of town and this place was close to my hotel. They were kind, cleanly, and did an AMAZING job. Highly recommend!!
Worst nail experience ever! If you have a business based on customer service and you yell at your customer for simply asking a question you shouldn't even be in business. Not only did i get yelled at, the nails turned out terrible. The tech didn't know how to do a simple nail polish application and got nail polish all over my hands and fingers. Im not satisfied with the outcome and the customer service. Very disappointing. Highly highly don't recommend this place!
I went in for the first time today and got put with Lee. He made my nails look amazing. The shape and the time he put into making them even and perfect is much appreciated. I love my nails so much and I will go back to see him!
My first time here and I LOVE my nails! A couple things: -Very professional: This for me is key! From booking my appointment to when I arrived to my services and finally, paying. Everyone was very nice and professional. -Decor: Just like other reviews say, the salon is decorated very nicely, and it's clean. -My nail tech: I had Kevin, who did both my pedicure and dip color. I'm not a stickler for the same person doing both my services, but this just happened to work out. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because he filed my pinky finger so much that the skin started to hurt. Which he acknowledged and worked to not put as much pressure on that nail. Don't get me wrong, he did an awesome job, so much that other techs were loving the quality of work on my nails! He made sure they were perfect and that I liked my nails before I left. In all, I'm loving this place and will be making it my new nail salon!
Ok so after a couple times of going here things declined FAST. They always have extremely long wait times so make sure you make an appt. More than a couple occasions I had two different techs, I would prefer the same one throughout my appointment. Also, every single time I got my nails done here, portions of the acrylic chipped off in chunks. Sometimes within a few days, sometimes a week or so later. I even had more than one nail chip. They fix it for free, but it's pretty inconvenient when you work and they are always busy. This has only happened to me with this nail salon. EDIT; I don't know if it's true or not, but when I started going to another salon, they told me the chipping could be because this place was not taking care of the "lipping". She explained this is when dirt and moisture get under the corners of the acrylic causing them to chip off, she said every time you get a fill they should clean and seal that and that they likely weren't doing that. EDIT 5/24; I moved and decided to give this salon another try since it's close and I now have gel nails. My eyebrow wax was done beautifully. The pedicure was great, a little too fast tho. But ONCE AGAIN my nails started chipping within days. I also think the price to do a fill is on the high end. It sucks because it is such a beautiful, clean salon. But it's a huge inconvenience to have to go back for repairs so I don't think I'll be back again. EDIT 1/2019; I have since removed my acrylic nails so this update is based purely on pedicures & eyebrow waxing. This is now my GO TO place for both of those services. Mary is who I request as she is very detail oriented and really patient/takes her time. I never feel like she is rushing and she does such a great job. She's also very gentle.
I was really hoping to love this place because it's so close to my house but unfortunately I won't be back. I tried this place out and originally came in for a gel manicure during my manicure the lady told me I should do dip because my nails would last longer and they wouldn't break. I agreed to do the dip instead hoping my nails would last longer. A few days later one of my nails snapped clean in half and I didn't even notice it at first so it didn't take much for the nail to break off like that. The lady also put wayyyy to much polish on my nails and they looked oddly shaped and bubbly (picture included was about two weeks after I got them done). When I went in to get the nail fixed they charged me $5 to fix the one nail less than a week later & mind you I had already spent $50 for the dip manicure.
I've been going to this place for several months now. After trying a few nail techs, I found one who I liked (Yee). Yee typically does great work and is always working to hone her craft and keep up with the latest trends, which I love and appreciate. Unfortunately the past 3 times she's done my nails I've had 1-2 nails break well before it is time for me to return. I'm not sure what she or I have been doing different the reason these breaks keep happening. Nevertheless, she's always fixes them with no problem (or charge), but it is frustrating to be making these extra trips to the nail salon. So the reason for the mere 2 star review....Yee did my nails (dip mani last Saturday). I had to come back Monday for a repair. Then last night ANOTHER nail broke so I came back for a repair this morning. I hit her up to tell her what had happened and she told me to come, but someone else would have to fix it. I told her that was fine as long as they did it well. So I get there and I'm seated with Lee, owner/manager. He doesn't do nails well, but I figured it was ONE nail and he could use the others as his guide. I sit down and this man proceeds to take an acrylic to the base of my nail to pop the polish off. I immediately told him absolutely not, i was fine letting it soak off. He tells me that will take forever....AND?!? So he starts soaking it off, doesn't even soak it all the way off, and starts the repair. No big deal...I'm getting the same color. So he's being SUPER rough, like the filing is hurting, he finishes the repair and the shape is wrong AND the color at the base of my nail is lighter than the rest. So I pointed this out to Yee and she was like tell him to fix the shape. I bring this to his attention and he clips the tip and again starts roughly filing my nail. I'm heading amour the door when he shouts to the receptionist that I need to pay $5. So I ask the girl if she's kidding because mind u this is my 3rd trip to this salon in 7 days. She is petrified and staring at me like she can't understand the words coming out of my mouth. I give her the $5 and leave, but once I got outside I realized this was unacceptable considering how much money I spend in this place. So I go back in and tell him this isn't okay and u need to fix my nail properly especially since you're making me pay for it. He says he doesn't see a problem with the nail. I ask the lady now in his chair and without my prompting she points out the exact issues I'd noticed. So he sends her off for a pedicure and tells me he will fix it. He proceeds to roughly "fix" my nail...asking me what I want him to do. I could feel my blood boiling so I let him finish as best he could and just left. All of this was after I was overcharged $5 last weekend and dismissed that b/c it was just $5. I'm done and highly recommend no one go to this place.
Yes guys I came back!! Even after my interesting experience last time I couldn't help it. My shellac manicure was so great last time that I opted to give it another go before the holidays! I happened to get the same girl again and I sat at the bar again. She took her time, made sure I was happy with my shape and the opaqueness of the color. I went for a more natural pink this time instead of red. I can't stop staring at them as I type this review out. They are so deng shiny! I was happy with my second experience here. I might be a regular who knows. I was happy with the shellac manicure I got last time and I think I will get my moneys worth this time around too.

Had a wonderful experience today at Bahama! called in an hour ahead to make a reservation for two mani pedis, came in and immediately got our color, and placed in massage spa chairs. My Mom and I both received great treatment, they were quick and detailed (sorry I forgot to catch the nail techs names oops). after they finished our pedicures they did our manicures right there in the pedicure chair, again, very quick and detailed. My favorite parts were the hot steamy towel massage and the little detailed brush they use to make your polish look perfect. I would give them 5 stars except their color selection is a little sad. We were able to find colors we liked but it could use some updating. We will definitely be back, very luxurious and soothing. read more

My bestie and I got Mani/pedis here today and were very pleased! We both got gel manicures, she got the Bahama Spa pedi with paraffin dip, and I got just a regular pedi. Our nails looks awesome and we felt pampered! I would suggest an appointment as they are very busy! read more
LOVE this salon! Went out of my way to go here for a mani/pedi based off a friend's recommendation. Nail tech (can't remember her name) did an outstanding job. She really took her time to make sure my nails looked perfect. Very reasonable pricing -- $35 for a basic mani and pedi. I even got compliments later saying my nails looked like it was a gel manicure! Will definitely be going back. read more
