Beachy nails by Kris
Leah S.

I love the renovations to this place--it feels so chic and luxurious. They're also opening a head spa, which I'm really looking forward to! Lately, I've been having Kris do my nails because she creates the most amazing designs. She's incredibly talented! I also love Nikki--she's wonderful. She's very gentle and always takes extra care because she knows I'm sensitive and nervous about getting my skin nicked. Those two are my go-to nail technicians. For pedicures, I always see Mai. She gives the best massages and is hands-down my favorite! The manager/owner at the front is incredibly friendly and welcoming as well. I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful and elegant space, clean and very spacious. I love their neutral color options which I think is hard to find in most nail salons. Will be back!

I am so glad I found this gem of a place after years of doing my own gel-x nails. Not only is the store absolutely beautiful, but the service is unmatched. From the moment you step in, you're greeted warmly by the owner (Suri) and offered a complimentary drink while you wait. I booked an online appointment with Kris and was blown away by how quickly she was able to replicate the design I wanted! Kris was extremely skilled and has a keen eye to detail. My set turned out so beautifully, I am beyond impressed. I will definitely be making my way back! If you're wondering which salon to try next, don't think twice to give Bare Nail Bar a try - you won't be let down.

Gel builder nails
Christine S.

I've been coming here since April. Nikki has been so helpful with helping me with gel builder on my hands. My nails are naturally short, think and tend to peel and chip far too easily. Perimenopause hasn't helped. thanks to Nikki, my nails are looking long and beautiful. I feel so feminine having nails. This is the best they have ever looked. Everyone on staff has been friendly and attentive.

Not gate keeping this nail bar, always top of the line polish and service. Their location is beautifully designed and very clean. But what makes this place our go to is the nail technicians. Always on top of the trends and doesn't sacrifice quality ever. Nikki, Mai, and Kris are amazing and never disappoint. Highly recommend, need to make an appointment a week ahead as they get busy.

This review pains me to write because I think the employees are so sweet and the place itself is so cute. I've been to Bare twice now for gel pedicures, and the service itself has been great and very relaxing. Unfortunately, both times I have had complications with the actual gel itself. The first time around I thought I was having an allergic reaction to the polish I chose. The second gel pedicure I got wasn't properly cured, leaving me with wrinkled gel and a painful allergic reaction. Turns out both pedicures weren't properly cured. I've had to push liquid out of the pockets in my pedicure and my toes are non-stop itching. I'm super disappointed as I really wanted to continue coming here, but I think after two under-cured gel pedicures, I won't be returning.

Love, love, love this place!!! I have been going to this shop since I was a kid through all the different management. The currently management has done an amazing job with the remodel. Kris has been doing my nails for over a year now and I always get complements. She is super fast but thorough and my nails always last. Nancy does my pedicures and she also is amazing. Highly recommend.

Pastel chrome colors!
Grace L.

I recently visited the salon for a fresh set and had a fantastic experience being serviced by Kris. She was incredibly meticulous and professional, making the whole process feel relaxing and high-end. I decided to go with chrome pastel colors, and the result is stunning--it has that perfect pearly, iridescent glow that catches the light beautifully. The pricing was straightforward: $55 for the gel manicure, plus $15 for the chrome finish and a $5 color selection fee. The quality of Kris's work and the unique look of the chrome made it well worth it. I'll definitely be back!

Brandi M.

Love bare nail bar! Crystal is the best, always on time & I always leave satisfied. New remodel is chic too!

Pau S.

Kris did an amazing job on my nails, and Nancy gave me such a relaxing pedicure experience. Both were professional, friendly, and paid great attention to detail. My nails turned out beautiful, and my pedicure was done perfectly. The salon was clean, welcoming, and I felt well taken care of from start to finish. I highly recommend Kris and Nancy, and I'll definitely be coming back!

Oval nails with gel manicure.
Monica C.

Love my summer nails! I got an oval nail shape with a bright orange gel manicure. Tony did a great job filing my nails short enough but preserving the oval shape. I appreciate that he takes time to make sure the gel color is not too thick or bumpy. Ask for Tony if you have a specific shape in mind. You'll love the results.

Alycia T.

Another great nail experience from Tony! Everyone at this location is friendly and welcoming.

Mani
Kim H.

Such a relaxing experience every single time! This is hands down my favorite place. The attention to detail here is unmatched--it feels like everyone who works here is a true perfectionist. I absolutely love Nikki; she does my acrylic nails and her work is always a 10/10. I also had my pedicure with Joann, and she is incredible. Highly recommend!

I've been going to her for almost seven years, and every single time I sit in her chair I think the same thing -- how is she this good?? She's not just doing brows, she's reading your face. She knows the exact shape, the exact color, the exact everything that suits *you*, and she sees it the moment you sit down. No long consultation, no second-guessing. Just trust. And her hands? Magic. I really don't know how else to describe it. What I love most is the feeling she creates -- somehow calming and exciting at the same time. You walk in, you exhale, and then you look in the mirror and your jaw just drops. Every. Single. Time. If you're new here and reading this trying to decide -- please go. You will not regret a single second. Priscilla is the kind of artist you find once and never let go of. Priscilla, thank you for what you do.

I've been wanting to make my brows straighter but wasn't sure how without making them super thin but Saena did it in under 20 minutes!

I'm obsessed with my new brows! She is so sweet and accommodating. Thank you Saena for my dream brows!!

She said it helped with her morning…read moreroutine but as she aged, those brows kind of became bluish grey blocks and I swore to myself that I did not want to do that to my face. Well, with the trend of thin brows of the 90s and early aughts, which clearly did a number on my own brows. Apparently, hair does not always grow back the way you want it to. Take that as a lesson and try to shape not overpluck. I had been letting my brows grow in and just drawing them in all this time. I had looked into permanent brows and microblading for a long time but never did it due to cost and upkeep. Anyway, with hormonal shifts and passing time, my brows have been looking sparse these last few years. Drawing in and powdering my brows in the morning takes longer than I would prefer. I did a deep dive into microblading and nano-blading, weighing the pros and cons. I settled upon a few permanent make-up artists in the area and reached out to them. It was time for me to take charge of my morning routine. Saena Kim has a robust repertoire on Yelp and Instagram so I reached out to her. Making an appointment was easy as she utilizes an online booking system. The consultation is $50 and goes towards your procedure if you choose to continue with her. With my oily skin, I knew that most PMA would suggest combination powder brows, but she suggested nano brows that are machine assisted. I trusted her with literally tattooing my face, so I went with her suggestion after voicing my concerns. I asked about the inks, she used (which are inorganic). I asked about her experience with nano brows (4+ years). I asked about the numbing prior to the procedure (topically applied). My appointment from start to finish was about an hour and a half. She took the time to shape my brows, get feedback from me, and went to work with her machine. My pain was minimal; I might have fallen asleep. She has offered microblading services for years. She also offers lash extensions, brow lamination, brow correction, and lip blush too. She rents a space inside Sola Salons in the Woodbury Town Center. It's a small, cute space with feminine details and bright lighting. There are other beauty services offered inside the salon as well, just know where you need to go. There is plenty of parking in the lot. I will be back in a few weeks for a touch-up session but so far my brows have been looking more shapely than ever before. The brows are healing nicely and I will post an update with side-by-side images, when all is said and done. Thanks Saena for giving my brows new life!
