First time going here was yesterday, the salon is comfortable and the staff is friendly.. My SISTERS NAILS CRACKED within 5 hours!! They look so terrible !!! Mine look ok just very thick We won't be back we spend over 90 together we expect Better quality but they gave us this crap !

I went for a full set ..... the Lady was nice but they way she did my nails was TERRIBLE ..... I picked one nude color they must of mixed the polish with red polish ... as she polishing the color is coming out crazy looking. And I tell her she continues to ignore me and then say I'm all set .. I told her to change the polish because every single nail was a different color. Then she got mad she did my design line so uneven !!!!! And the new color I chose was pretty but now it's been only a week and the color is turning ... TWO NAILS ALREADY CRACKING AND ONE NAIL BROKE COMPLETELY OFF THREE DAYS AFTER I WENT .... $50 for garbage .... They don't care about how nails look just care about the money ..

Valentine's Day nails!

I can't say enough great things about this place. The service was great from start to finish. The prices are unbeatable and the salon is gorgeous. Very clean, welcoming and relaxing. I am very picky with my nails and they came out phenomenal. I will be back!

I had an appointment with Nancy for a manicure, pedicure , lip and eyebrow wax. It started out that she put a different nail polish color on my toes than what I had selected. I didn't notice until after I left, due to the lighting in the salon. This was my first time getting a wax there and Nancy BURNT BOTH OF MY EYELIDS AND LIP. I didn't realize how bad it was until it started burning after I left the salon. I called and spoke with the owner who said the redness will go away in a couple of days and to put vaseline on both my eyebrows and lip. I ended up getting an infection and I had to go to my eye doctor to get a steroid and an anti-biotic. This alone cost me more than my salon visit. Keep in mind, I told Nancy that I just lost my mother and sister in the past 3 months and that it was my birthday coming up and that I really needed to treat myself. This was the most unprofessional salon experience that I ever experienced in my life! "I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SALON!!!"

Horrible job, WORST pedi ever! It looks like a 5 year old did this! Will never, ever go back

Extremely inexperienced workers here. Worst pedicure I've ever gotten. It looks like a 5 year old did it, I could do so much better myself. I will never go back there Too bad because it's a nice space. Now I know why they are never busy.

A nail salon that I had went to prior to going to this one had left my nails way to long and made one of my nails crooked. I went into this shop and spoke to the owner about my situation, and if he could cut my nails down and file them up nicely. He explained that he would be able to help me and even gave me budgeting advice. It was a friendly environment, I was greeted properly, up to date equipment, and yes very clean. I will be going again, thank-you!!

Called ahead to see if I could do a walk in acrylic and was open to seat me whenever I was ready! The man who did my nails (wish i got his name) was amazing! Super nice, explained the whole process to me and pleasantly chatted with me. If you are looking for a clean, nice and good priced nail salon this place is good. Although its not perfect its a great bang for your buck.

Ive finally found a place I love to do my nails. I met with Howard today for the first time. I made an appointment for 4 and I was out of there before 5. Had the crystal manicure done. Highly recommended! I wasn't sure what I wanted when I walked in, but Howard was very knowledgeable about telling me what services they offered and all about the differences. The place is so clean and everyone seems very friendly

Awesome!! My girlfriend and I got gel mani pedis together and which came out great. The massage chairs for the pedicures were so worth it! They had a huge selection of colors for the polish too. The outside does not do any justice for how nice it is inside. The staff was very friendly and overall it was quite relaxing. I will be back.

COVID Compliance: She is very strict about COVID compliance and I recommend downloading the Vagaro app so you can do your check in there. Parking: Street parking but there is a municipal parking lot a little up the road by East Street. If you have been following me for a while you know that I have had less than stellar (read: terrible) waxing experiences in New Haven County, so please come here. She books fast, and for good reason. Waxes here can last up to 6 weeks which is wild. She is very good if you have coarser hair and very patient. She is prompt and makes you feel welcomed and at ease. Waxes here can last up to 6 weeks which is wild. She is a great communicator and is easily accessible via phone (which if I weren't as shy as I am and had actually contacted her to see if she had openings I would have avoided the Lunchbox debacle of 2019 and the EWC debacle of 2020). The moral of the story is, don't cheat on your esthetician. I highly recommend.

I've been seeing…read moreKarolina ( lash extensions and waxing) at her other place for about a year and a half but the atmosphere at this place is amazing. Karolina and Nicole have created not just a beauty studio or a salon but a community. Lashes are done in the front room, it's big and open and sunny and lovely. There is a big window seat and you can look out onto state street while you're waiting. This is going to be the next big thing, book before they get too busy!

The…read morewaxer I found (Catherine/Katie) was fine, but the front desk was rude and very unprofessional, so I stopped going there. I needed a Brazilian and my regular waxer was on leave. Given my horrible experiences with other area chains, I decided to pray and go to this location after seeing Jenteel P's review. This location is the best one, honestly. Front desk is nice and communicates like normal people, it's clean and smells nice, you don't wait forever for people to get ready. I can honestly say that Tyasia is the truth, you could fall asleep and wake up 7 minutes (!) later completely done (it is really that gentle) and it lasts. If you have coarse hair it you will not be disappointed, she knows what she is doing and is very thorough. I am grateful for Jenteel's review, and hope you will patronize the Hamden location, they know what good customer service is.

My waxer was phenomenal, made me feel so comfortable and kept me laughing the entire time! She truly is great, which is why I won't include her name. However, right when leaving I already noticed my legs felt stubbly, and now that I'm home I've noticed just how stubble covered they are, with strips of hair still present. My Brazilian feels more smooth overall, but there are multiple strips of hair left as well. Very disappointed as I definitely will have to shave again before this weekend.

I haven't gotten my nails done in a long time however I had gone quite frequently in the past to an amazing nail technician and place. One - it's very cold in there. Not too pleasant when you're sitting there for nails, and wearing fairly warm shoes. Two - the "quick dry" spray doesn't dry. Not to put your coat on isn't an option in the winter in New England. Having a place to dry your nails needs to be in place or atleast communicating to your client just sit here for x more minutes then we can check them. And lastly a smooth looking nail is expected when you pay for nails. I do my nails all the time at home the only different is that smooth finish you hope to achieve by a nail technician. The simple nail art did come out beautiful. Honestly, the salon itself is a no for me altogether with a less than average experience. I don't recommend it. I can be more specific of other issues but I honestly don't like leaving these kinds of reviews. I think the salon owner needs to pay more attention to details while there are far too many nail salons to choose from that capitalize on one of these issues. Maybe it was a bad first experience but i won't be returning.

It seems as though this state is losing Black estheticians so I decided to look for someone who…read moreworks for themselves, and came across Ariel. Her shop is located in the Phenix salon suites (go right past the front desk and immediately take a left, she's at the end of the hall on the left). Her space is well maintained and she is nice but the five stars are for the extremely (and I mean *meticulous*) thorough Brazilian wax she gave me. I am not a stranger to waxing as I have done it for at least a decade, but she made sure no hair was left behind, using hard wax and then strips to ensure my happiness. I was thoroughly impressed. I prefer sugaring but I didn't have any of the skin rawness that sometimes happens with rushed jobs. She is on par with other waxers in the area like Tommy's. I highly recommend her.

It was easy to get an appointment at this place online through google. I don't come to this area of Universal Drive that often so was not very familiar with the place and google map led me to the other side of the road and it took 4-5 minutes for me to figure out where exactly the location was. Upon entering the main entrance, there was a receptionist who helped me find the salon as there are a few salons/stores inside the building. I think they all charge a bit higher than other local salons. The place itself was super clean and I was in and out in no time. The salon is more like a small room with just one person working and she can accommodate only one customer at a time. When it comes to the service and the overall waxing experience, I found it pretty average, and would say I have got better services for much cheaper price.
