My last nail appointment with Ivy was awful. She was dismissive and rude, leaving me feeling like I had done something wrong just by coming in. The nails themselves were poorly done--thick, uneven, and they broke within 10 days. This was on top of a previous incident when the owner literally chased me down the street because her Venmo wasn't working for a tip. It has been one problem after another, but I kept giving them chances. I tip generously and have spent a lot of money there, but after being treated so poorly, I'm done. There's another salon just two minutes up the road--Google it. You'll have a much better experience.

I booked a simple blowout with some curls -- nothing complicated -- but was met with pushback and attitude the moment I arrived. Instead of listening to my request, the stylist (who turned out to be the owner, Freida) insisted on doing it her way. She straightened the top of my hair near the roots and curled only the bottom, which left it looking frizzy, flat, and messy. I politely asked her to fix it multiple times, but the more she touched it, the worse it got. Rather than listening or trying to improve the situation, Freida became increasingly rude and dismissive. I was shocked by how unprofessional and cold she was -- especially as the owner. I left the salon in tears, completely humiliated and disappointed. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

I FINALLY FOUND IT FOLKS!!!…read more I've been going to Refresh Nail Spa since winter 2023, after searching for salons that offer drill-free manicures and focus on natural nail care like IBX treatments. I ended up finding Bernadette, an independent nail tech who works there--and she's been an absolute gem. While she does use a drill (contrary to what I originally searched for), she's incredibly skilled, gentle, and precise--so much so that it never damages my nails. Her technique is both efficient and mindful, striking the perfect balance between machine and hand filing. Initially, I was getting regular gel manicures, but Bernadette truly cares about nail health, and she suggested switching to builder gel (BIAB). It was a game-changer. Builder gel doesn't require soaking off and allows for continuous fills--meaning you can build on top of your last set without compromising nail integrity. Since switching, my nails have grown so long, strong, and healthy, and a single BIAB manicure can last me up to 6 weeks! Beyond nails, Bernadette is a wonderful person--easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She also specializes in pedicures for clients with diabetes or other health conditions, which speaks volumes about her expertise and sensitivity to clients' unique needs. If you're looking for a thoughtful, health-conscious nail experience, I highly recommend Refresh Nail Spa and Bernadette in particular. My monthly visits have become something I genuinely look forward to.

This was my first time. Overall, it was a great experience. I had a pedicure and refill which was done quite nicely. The positives are many - I was handed a bottle of water which was a nice touch. The staff and even the other patrons were friendly. The salon has without doubt, THE most comfortable pedicure chairs I have ever sat in. I struggle with severe back pain but felt no pain in these chairs and my back even felt better than it has in a while when I left! In addition, they have a large screen TV and had a wonderful show on nature, animals, fish, gorgeous scenery. They turned off the sound and had very calming music playing in the background. It was just so relaxing, I could have stayed all afternoon. Prices are reasonable and while the decor can be improved a bit, the service and pedicure chairs far outweigh any issues with the decor. I will be going back. Barbara read more

But what really got me is on my last visit, I accidentally knocked against the drying machine after the pedi and had a minor imperfection in the polish, the first time that happened to me.
