First I thought it was fluke I would leave message to book and never hear back so I had to stop by physically to book. When I asked about why they didn't call back. They seem dumbfounded and said they return all messages. Well I decided I wanted to give my daughter a manicure party with her best friend. So called Monday and left a message. No response still by Thursday night so I decided to email them and I get a response by text saying 10am booking when I asked for 4:30 pm. I text back and it's been 24 hours no response. Well I guess they don't want my business. I found another nail place and called them at 9pm thinking to leave a message and booked in 5 minutes what I needed. Not coming back here.

Consistently beautiful work and attention to detail.

I visited back in May and did a brow lamination and tint, and lash lift and tint. I have had this service done at several places before without issue. Upon leaving I thought it was different than i had done it before and maybe just needed to adjust. Idk. On further reflection she must have switched the products or burned them somehow. Half my eyelashes were kinked. Yes i followed aftercare perfectly. Then my eyelashes fell out and at some point were itchy and my lid was swollen. I'm not post photos but have them, and she has seen them. My eyebrows also were like hard and wouldn't move. Later they started falling out too. She gave me a full refund when I send her pics. But this is before everything started falling out. I had to buy a lash serum to grow them back. And then in August I started noticing that my eyebrows were falling out. I thought they were shedding normally and going back to blonde. NOPE! They weren't growing back at all. I went to the dr and it is 100% because of what she did. I now am using rogaine to regrow them. It's taking forever and she also refused to pay for product to help grown them back. It's probably going to be another 2-3 months of me looking awful because of Perri. Have the Holiday you deserve.

I cannot recommend Co Be Salon enough! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with a warm smile and a genuine willingness to help. The staff makes you feel valued and comfortable right away, setting the tone for a wonderful experience. The salon itself is beautifully renovated, spotless, and neatly organized. The high ceilings, big windows, and abundant natural light create an open, airy feel, while the excellent air circulation ensures a fresh atmosphere--without the overpowering chemical smell you find at other salons. The pleasant music playing in the background adds to the relaxing experience, making every visit truly enjoyable. Mary is an absolute expert. She is kind, professional, and incredibly skilled at what she does. She understands exactly what I need and like, always taking the time to perfect every detail. Unlike other salons that have struggled to get my nails right, Mary has been able to fix mistakes made by previous salons, ensuring my nails look flawless every time. The entire staff is dedicated to offering extra support, adjusting the lighting, or simply checking in to make sure you're relaxed, their customer care is exceptional. If you're looking for a top-tier salon in a beautiful location with expert service, a clean and inviting atmosphere, and technicians who truly care about their work, Co Be is the place to go. I can't wait to my next appointment! read more

Mary is the best on the block! She took care of me the whole nine yards, from quality of service to customer service. She made sure I was content with her work before I walked out. Can't forget to mention, she gave homemade cookies and provided sparkling water to quench the thirst while I got pampered. She's super friendly along with her whole team, all positive vibes with soothing background music. 10/10 would come back to her again! read more

I called afterward to confirm the removal price and was told $15(one, five) over the phone, which doesn't match what I was actually charged. No receipt was given either. Given that the price jumped from $20 to $50 the moment I offered less, and dropped back to $15 on the phone, this felt like a deliberate bait-and-switch, not a mistake.
