    I spy blood streak into nail polish...

    Sadly have given this salon a few chances after messy dip nails and many bleeding cuticles, but had blood from yet another cuticle cut literally painted into my dip powder (and dipped in the stock powder) today without attempt to fix, attempt to prorate the appointment, or attempt to keep blood out of products that will be used for other people - so I think that's three strikes for me. Edit: Ownership from the salon did reach out to apologize for the experience and explain that the product which may have been contaminated was removed. I really appreciate gestures from management that clearly care and are making changes, so wanted to share.

    Chipped nail polish

    This used to be my favorite salon, I recently got a full set of acrylic nails. I paid $70 for a plain black set and the nail polish is chipping already. I spoke with the front desk and I was scheduled to get a repair and payed an extra $5 to fix a mistake that was made by the technician, they did not properly cure the nail polish. I went in for the repair, which is now chipping. I have had the set for 2 days. Never got a refund.

    Worst nail salon experience I've had in years. I've been on the hunt for a new nail salon since my previous ride-or-die nail tech moved out of state. This is now my 4th visit and you couldn't pay me to go back. A real shame considering it's within walking distance of my gym Now onto the events that transpired: Visit 1: I called to see if I could get an appointment for same day and asked how much for a fill and nail art. Was told $35 for the fill, variable for the nail art. The receptionist Bethany was kind and easy to work with. However, the technician was very gruff and drilling way too hard on my thin nails. He was extremely short with me, saying phrases like "give me your hand now" I diffused with a joke "normally one ASKS a lady for their hand" to ease the tension, but my entire body recoiled when he said that as I imagine most people, women especially, would when being demanded in that manner. He also used a colored acrylic powder I absolutely did not authorize or ask for in any way shape or form. The receptionist did honor the price I was quoted on the phone however. Then after the fill, which took far longer than normal, he tells me he doesn't have time for nail art and I have to come back another day. Apparently I should've described in great detail the design so the proper time could be slotted. Ooookay. I let it roll off me, book another spot for the next day with Sally, not terribly upset just mildly inconvenienced. Whatever, I think, it gives me an excuse to have another pleasant 15 minute walk from my gym on a nice day. Visit 2: Smooth, pleasant, Sally is very easy to work with. No complaints here, I'm very happy with the design. 3 days after this visit, 4 days since the fill, I have a nail lift from the first visits poorly done fill. I call to get the nail fixed. After they close for the evening two more of my nails start lifting however they're already closed at the point and I have the first appointment of the day so there is no opportunity to update them. When rebooking my appointment, I specifically ask if they will have time to fix my nail art as well as I had nail art on the 3 nails that lifted. Visit 3: I arrive 10 minutes late, entirely my fault but had given them a heads up. Luckily the salon is empty. The nail tech fixes my 3 nails. As she's getting close to done she tells me "I don't have time to do your nail art today so you'll have to come back another day." There was no attempt to find any alternate solutions that would work for me Yall, this is now the second time IN LESS THAN A WEEK that I've had to "return for nail art." I'm honestly so entirely flabbergasted at this point they're honestly willing to inconvenience me to the level of needing FOUR separate appointments to get ONE set of nails that I requested. This is such a first world problem of course, but I was so actually deeply upset that my time was of no value to them, I absolutely won't be returning. Four visits in one week is incredibly unrealistic and unreasonable to stick customers with. I never rebooked to redo my nail art so I'll be wearing this until I go get a fill at another salon. Paid $80 before tip for all of this. Oh and cherry on top was years and years ago I visited once and was charged $110 for a full set with plain black gel, no nail art. Over 2x of what any other salons were charging at the time. That turned me off for years but gave them another shot and absolutely regretted Here are the current state of my nails after 3 separate visits :) cute but unfinished and absolutely not worth the headache and stress by a mile

    Mani after 6 days--still looking great even after a ton of dish scrubbing, hand washing, etc.

    Been here twice and both times were a great experience. Taylor is thorough and gentle, especially with the cuticle trimming. My classic mani/pedi turned out really well and I plan to be back. Btw, the cleopatra pedi is worth it if you feel like splurging a bit.

    This place had a good vibe. They offer good services and they do lash lift. I was excited to get mine and it lasted for a bit but not too long I would have to say maybe a week. They seem really busy since it is downtown. Next time I have to come to get my nails and update my review!

    Horrible experience! Nail tech said 2 words to me, then proceeded to speak in another language the with coworkers the whole service! Very unprofessional. Not only that, the price was a joke! Waaaaayyyyy overpriced, and I feel ripped off. My nails look like a child did them.

    Came here for the first time as a recommendation from a friend and it was lovely! The ambience is very nice and cute, and the staff are friendly and talented. I came in with a photo of some nail art I was hoping for and Ashley perfectly executed it. I'm OBSESSED with my nails. Nice location close to campus, I'd recommend it to anyone. Standard prices for services, and Venmo tips go right to the nail techs I will definitely be going back for all my nail needs.

    I love having my nails done here! Katy is my favorite tech. She does a great job making my nails strong without being too thick. My last acrylic gel manicure lasted for more than four weeks! She is also AMAZING at french tip and makes it look so natural. Definitely go here and go to Katy!

    Got a full set and they were lifting by the next day. One nail popped off so easily while I was going about my day that I didn't even notice it. I regularly get my nails done so I understand how to take care of them, these were just poorly done. The price you see when booking an appointment is never close to the price you end up paying. I paid $70 before tipping and honestly they weren't even worth $35. Save your money and find a specific nail artist you like and trust. Or honestly $8 at a drugstore near you and get you some press ons that'll stay intact longer. The only positive was its location. Cleanliness isn't a reason for another star as an establishment should be clean regardless. Literally look at the set in the photo??? Like what? My friend told me she thought I did them myself and it was pretty good for my first try...

    Camilla did my graduation pictures make-up!

    I LOVED my graduation make-up, pedicure, eyebrow wax, and eyelash extension! I was super cautious about coming here (with COVID and concerns about health) but Bee Q Spa set up precautions (temperature check, barriers, masks, and 6 feet spacing) and was thoughtful every step of the way. I definitely recommend coming here because the staff, especially Sonca (Camilla), are so nice! Camilla did my make-up for Graduation Pictures and it was PERFECT and exactly what I wanted (picture attached - the quality was messed up from Yelp yikes).

    I've been seeing Sarah semi-sporadically for years for my brows, and she provides an exceptional…read morebrow experience! I'm typically pretty low maintenance with my brows (especially since I started working from home in 2020...) but will go see Sarah when I want to look more presentable and put together before a nice event or trip or something. Her process for brow shaping is so detailed, gentle, and precise. For the most part, she tweezes hairs individually. Not sure what products she's using throughout the process, but it's very soothing. She also takes great care to provide a clean and hygienic experience as well. The shop itself is small but beautiful and she stocks great brow, makeup, supplements, and other products. Her own line of brow gel is great! It is on the higher end of pricing for brow shaping, but I do believe the price reflects the whole experience she creates. She's also just super sweet and fun to talk to every time!

    So I love the brow bar. I try to come consistently I'm not sure Sarah really knows who I am each…read moretime but she's kind and makes me comfortable. She does an excellent job. I also have kids and she has allowed me to bring my daughter without giving me a hard time which I know is really against the shop rules but as a mom I do appreciate her allowing me to still get self care. I do plan to come tomorrow for my appointment! I have my kids and tried calling for permission I just wish she answered phone more!

    I've booked two haircuts here since being a student and have loved both! Don't let the fact that…read morethey are "in training" steer you away from going. Both times my hair has received excellent care! At my first appointment, she spent close to half an hour trimming all my dead ends off and helping me start fresh with me on my hair journey. I can now say she is at her own salon in Briarwood mall! My second stylist (about a year and a half later) helped trim me up again and decided to style my natural wavy hair (I normally straighten it every day because I don't know how to style it curly). She walked me through the process and it turned out great. She told me she had about a month left of her program and graduates in November! Booking online is super easy and I've never had trouble making an appointment or rescheduling. I've actually booked 15 minutes before a cut because I was desperate and they had plenty of availabilities, but they do recommend you reschedule 24 hours in advance. I'm extremely impressed with the friendliness, service, and atmosphere here. It is clean and modern, smells good, and has a comfy waiting area. Because the stylists are in school, they have a supervisor check the cuts to make sure you like them at the end which is something I appreciate. Prices are extremely affordable- $18 includes a cut, wash, condition, and style. If you are a student and show your ID, it's an extra 10% off. There's also is no option to tip, although I did ask about one. Will be taking advantage of my student status as long as I can, but still, $18 is hard to beat!

    I have been to Aveda for services several times so it's a shame that I'm having to write this…read morereview to get any type of recognition. I booked an appointment for a scalp treatment and massage on 2/13/24 for the appointment to be on 2/23/24. I live in Livonia, a 30 minute drive both ways. I get to my appointment and I'm sitting in the chair waiting for my appointment to start when the worker comes up to me and says "I'm sorry, we have a worker on disability and cannot perform your massage" I'm sorry what? I'm literally sitting here waiting for it right now, I just drove 30 minutes, you couldn't have canceled before?! She says there's a different treatment I can get, it's a "stress relieving facial" and I'm thinking okay, for my inconvenience, it's on the house? Wrong. It's 20% off that's the best she can do. I ask, what about me driving 30 minutes to get here, paying for downtown parking, and your mistake for not canceling me, what do I get in compensation for ruining my Friday night? I get 20% off my next service and the manager will call the next day to hopefully make it better. Well, 2 days have gone by and no call from the manager. 20% is the best that you can do? How about paying me for the $15 in gas, $3 in parking, and another $10 for the inconvenience. Obviously joking, but 20% is ridiculous! What? Do you think $5 off my next service so this can happen again?! I've come here at least half a dozen times and this is the most unprofessional I've ever seen! You had 10 days to figure this out! You didn't even have the audacity to cancel the day of, better yet when I'm there! And then a manager doesn't even call to make this right?! Unless this is straighten out I will never come here again. DON'T COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET CANCELLED WHILE YOU'RE IN THE SALON! 20% off what a JOKE
