    Alex is a master of his craft, gentle but thorough, and his salon is a little gem of leafy calm.

    We decided to visit this nail salon for my husband's birthday so he could enjoy a little pampering…read more Since the salon was very busy and had a lot of staff working, we opted to get pedicures only. The atmosphere was beautiful and upscale, with elegant chandeliers throughout the salon that gave it a luxurious feel. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and pleasant during our visit. Our pedicures included a scrub treatments and hot towels with fruit scrubs, and our feet definitely felt pampered afterward. However, the entire experience lasted nearly two and a half hours, which felt like a long time for a pedicure. We didn't need a reservation, and the initial wait was only about 15-20 minutes, but once we were seated in the pedicure area, there was additional waiting. At times, it felt like we spent more time waiting than actually receiving services. Overall, it was a nice experience and felt like a special treat for a celebration or special occasion. While I enjoyed the luxurious atmosphere and the quality of the service, the time commitment makes it something I would reserve for occasional visits rather than a regular monthly appointment.

A little pricier compared to other salons, but overall a thorough job done and you get what you pay for. I made an appointment for both myself and my friend for my birthday nails (acrylic set). Since my friend was getting a classic pedicure, we were seated together in the pedicure seats. My nail artist was Chloe. She was pretty thorough with her work and I was very satisfied with my nails. They price out the work for you up front so you know what you're going to be paying and can make any change requests ahead of time if needed so there are no surprises. I will say this place charged a lot more than I've paid at other salons (base set was $76 + $10 length charge which I find ridiculous + another $10 design charge). Anyway, the work was very well done so I appreciated that. They also check in with you multiple times if you approve of every step and final product. The complimentary drink menu is a nice touch and the salon itself is very beautiful. Overall it was a good experience!

    Update: The salon was very quick to reach out and make things better, thank you Adore Nail Lounge!…read more I've been going here for over a year and today was the first time I had a bad experience. It felt like Vicky half-assed the entire pedicure. I added the callus remover as an extra and she barely applied the product and did two swipes with the remover equipment. My nails aren't cut straight and a couple nails at crooked. She also took the nail file over my big toe after she painted and had the nails under the light... and it's now super rough over the nail polish and messed up the polish. She handed me the ticket to pay and got up and walked away without even leaving me a pathway to get up from the chair, leaving her equipment cart in that spot, it was the technician right next to her that kindly moved it for me. Overall, the vibes in the salon are great! I would just avoid Vicky as a nail tech.

    I returned to the salon today for a regular mani/pedi. My techs name was Ken. Ken wasn't too…read morefriendly, I wasn't asked if I wanted water etc.. My service felt rushed. He was a little rough to the touch as times with my pedi. The pulling and moving my feet & toes quickly and/ or forcing them down from time to time was uncomfortable. I didn't say anything but looked at him. The manicure wasn't done completely. He massaged my forearm but missed my hands. I asked if he was going to massage my hands, he looked at me and said yes, but no massage to my hand was performed. I looked around at other customers and their hands were massaged a little after their forearm. Their tech had them wash their hands afterwards. Ken had me wash my hands right after my forearm. He polished my nails and said thank you. He placed a fan in front of my hands but didn't say how long I needed to stay in front of the fan. Normally im told 2 mins etc...I touched my nails after 3 mins and turned off the fan. When I checked out I did let the lady know it wasn't a good experience for me this time. She inquired, I told her Ken didn't ask me if I wanted any water etc..as I watch other customer receive sodas & waters. The lady replied, oh really he normally does. I replied he didn't. I said I didn't appreciate all the pulling / tugging as well as him placing the fan in front of me and not saying how long I needed to dry my nails. The receptionist excuse for Ken's behavior was he doesn't speak English which I thought was bananas. I still have a small tip, but asked that he not be assigned to me again. She agreed in doing so. I thought about my experience on my way home. A mani/ pedi is not cheap. If I can't enjoy it and relax I'd rather not return nor refer any more friends to their shop. I'm disappointed. R. Chambers

    I highly recommend if you are not already treating yourself to the occasional massage to do so now…read moreand at Milk & Honey! Prior to your massage you are given some time to enter the locker room and leave your belongings in your locker and change into your robe. You have access to the showers, toiletries and hair styling tools. Once you step out of the locker room you enter a dim lit lounge where they have light snacks and the most delicious tea while you wait to be called for your appointment. I decided to go with a lengthy 120 minute Ultimate Massage with Katie since it had been quite a while since I've had one. This included a full-body brushing (you get to keep the brush afterwards), your choice of Signature, Deep Tissue or Sports massage and a warm oil scalp & neck massage. Prior to your visit you fill out a survey to decipher how you would like your massage to focus on. I prefer a firmer massage, but not too intense that it's not enjoyable. Katie was understanding of what I wanted and also receptive to how tense some of my muscles were and adjusted as the massage proceeded. I appreciated how she answered any questions I had during the massage and checked on me periodically to make sure everything was to my liking. The massage was fabulous. Just keep in mind that the oil scalp and neck massage while it feels amazing is going to leave your hair super oily. Be prepared to shower and rinse your hair several times. After my appointment I relaxed in the lounge for a bit and then utilized the showers to rinse out the oil in my hair. You are welcome to stay as long as you like. I can't wait to come back for another massage!
