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.
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
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.
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...

I had a lovely experience with Nai! I had 0 wait time and the vibe of the salon was very relaxed. Nai went above and beyond for my gel manicure. I pick at my nails so my thumbs have this weird bump on them, which she offered to smooth down. I asked for a French tip. She painted 2 different colors on 2 of my nails so I could see which base I wanted for my French tip and helped me make a decision. :) She asked how thick I wanted the tip and made sure I liked it before continuing, with offers to change anything I didn't want. Nai was super sweet and made me feel completely comfortable. I'd highly recommend her services and will definitely be back!! read more

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! read more

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). read more

Really disappointed. The gel is lifting from all my nails after only a few days. Hasn't even been a week. I haven't even touched them and they're all coming off. I have never had shellac lift off my nails after only 2-3 days. Not worth the $$ if shellac last as long as a regular manicure. read more

I don't recommend this place because the service is inconsistent and disappointing. When I first requested a design for my shellac manicure, they told me it would cost $10, and then they changed it to $15. The floral design that I showed them and the one I received were also nothing alike (the one with purple French tips is what I showed them and the one with pink is what I received), and I wish they'd let me know beforehand if the design I chose couldn't be done. What's worse, the nail tech filed my little finger until it bled, and even though I got nervous and asked her to stop three times, she continued to file directly into the wound. Then, I asked her if I could wash my hands, but instead, she sprayed alcohol directly into it without asking me, which stung a lot. She only gave me a cotton ball to stop the bleeding when I asked and even painted over the cut, which stung even more, and I wish I'd just stopped the appointment. When I reached out to management, they didn't issue a refund, which is whatever, but they also didn't apologize. This is the second negative experience I have had at BeeQ Downtown, the first time being when the nail tech left without saying a word to me after painting my nails. I sat there ?? until another nail tech said I could leave after drying my nails for another ten minutes, but even then, they became smudged when I inspected them outside the salon because they hadn't completely dried. read more

I had a wonderful Experience here. I showed up to my appointment, and requested to add on a few services day of. The ladies there were more than accommodating and helped me decIde what I could do on a tight time schedule. I was in a bit of a time crunch, and I manageD to be in and out within 45 mins for an eyebrow wax and shellac polish change. The Manicure itself was precise, clean, and well done. Janie checked in with me to ask if I wanted have more opaque vs. thicker gel, and I really appreciated that. I will definitely be back! read more

Update: $25 for a regular manicure (not including tip) is beyond ridiculous. Regular color, no french or anything. Usually regular manicure's are $15-18 max read more

Made an appointment to get an acrylic fill done. Got there a few minutes late from parking problems and when I arrived they weren't ready for me anyways. I saw the bad reviews and thought I'd give it a try, and I have regrets about it now. I didn't sit down for 20-25 minutes after my appointment started. When I did get a chair, she began by gluing the old nail down with so much glue it stuck my skin to my nail and was burning through the whole process. During the fill she nicked me a few times, and the nail itself is a poor shape, uneven, thick, and uncomfortable. I asked her to fix two and she tried for a moment before saying they were fine. I have glue (I'm not sure how) all over my palm and fingers. I'm probably going to get them removed and go somewhere else. The only reason they get two stars is it seemed cleanly. I've been getting acrylics for over 8 years now, and this is no where near a $55 fill. read more
