Walid! I'm in love with my hair again because of you!…read more Absolutely love my haircut! You did an incredible job with the shape, layers, and movement. The way you cut the front to frame my face is especially beautiful, it has so much volume and falls perfectly without looking over styled. It's polished, flattering, and still feels effortless. One of those cuts that makes you feel great the second you look in the mirror. I couldn't be happier. Over the moon, thank you for bringing me back to life. And I love that you love my natural color! Over the moon happy and because of you I feel like my old feel good self again. Hot damn! Blessed to have found you.

I've been testing out new salons since moving here with the hope of finding one I really like that…read morealso doesn't break the bank, and had high hopes for this one based on the reviews. I only ever do simple cuts, nothing fancy. My haircut, done by Anderson (a level 3 stylist), is objectively good. The skill was there. But it's definitely shorter than I wanted it. Went in for a lob, came out with an asymmetrical bob...Honestly I was panicking while he was drying it because it was starting to look like Lord Farquaad from Shrek. I asked if he could style it like in the reference pictures I showed (simple waves, to reduce Farquaad-ness). He tried to do it with the brush/dryer, which obviously wasn't working, and didn't want to use a flatiron. So I just suffered through scalding heat on my scalp and hair pulling. I got told I don't have curly hair. I got told I don't have frizzy hair. I, in fact, have both of those. Some other minor things: 1. When I got home I had some hair that was noticeably longer than the rest, like it never got cut. So...I had to do it. Just a few strands, but normally stylists check for that when your hair is dry. 2. I almost never use heat on my hair, so I asked for recs and mentioned a specific brand doesn't work for me. He immediately said he loves that brand. I said yeah...but it doesn't work for me. Anything else? "Any salon brand." Cool. Not helpful. 3. Asked for something at the end to tame the pieces that were sticking out (again, I have frizzy hair). He looked...confused? Smoothing as a last step has been standard at every other place I've been to. There is nothing in the whole salon like that? Also, my introvert-self just wants to go somewhere where I don't have to be engaged in conversation the whole time. Anyway. Won't go back, my hunt continues.

I went ahead and made an appointment for a Gel X manicure and gel pedicure. I received a text confirmation when my appointment was booked as well as reminder texts as well for my upcoming appointments. I had a great spa pedicure experience and felt relaxed throughout my service. The gel polish was applied neatly and my nails weren't cut down too short; there was plenty of room left for growth. Moving onto the manicure... there was way too much glue added onto each nail and there was so much residue left underneath my fingertips. When the LED light was placed over each finger, I vocalized to my nail tech that it was getting pretty hot and she said "it's okay" (of course it was, because it wasn't hot for her!) and I just ended up taking my whole hand out because she clearly didn't care or listen to my concern. When the polish was applied, it was done neatly and I liked the final color result, but there wasn't any cleanup done beneath my nails. I was able to pick some of the glue residue out when I got home, but wasn't able to get it all out. The pricing here is reasonable and the salon is clean and well kept, but I don't think that I'd come back since I was brushed off during the process of getting my Gel X manicure.

Honestly, I absolutely love a place with character! I've posted pictures below because they made me cackle--some people might call the decor tacky, but I think it's hilarious. It was such a great takeaway from the experience. The inside has the standard massage chairs you'd expect, the vibe is very "chill and do your own thing," and I'm sure you could ask for tea or whatever else you need. I got a pedicure at the beginning of March (and I know I'm due for another one soon!), but get this: I just got regular polish--no gel or anything--and the color is still completely on my toenails! If you ask me, that is quality. Definitely worth it. If you're in a pinch or just in the area, go ahead and hit this spot. They will not disappoint!

They told me to that to keep my appointment or to book any future spa appointments, I had to pay over $220 for the missed appointment (the one never even made). You heard right - - not a $50 no-show fee, not 25% for a no-show. They wanted the entire amount upfront before I could have my next appointment. It was absolutely outrageous. The one facial I had was decent (I went in for foot reflexology today), but the aesthetician was pushy about me making future appointments. I would avoid and head down to DC where the spas are more professional and customer-centric. I've been to spas all over the world and am a very chill customer, and I've never been treated like that.

I came in for a spa pedicure and a gel manicure on Friday for a wedding I have today. The services were fine, not great. I kept getting annoyed during the manicure because every time I put my nails into the LED dryer, the lady would forcefully grab my arm and push my wet nails against the plastic on the inside thus messing up the tips of the nails. When I left the salon everything looked okay, but when I got home I realized my toe nails were still wet (which I found weird because I had gotten the pedicure before the manicure, so there was an hour for them to dry). My toes all got ruined so I went back and they redid them for free, the man fixed them he did a good job. Last night (2 days later) I looked at my gel manicure which originally was light lavender, and for some reason my nails had turned grey (see gross pic).... I obviously had to take them off, they look terrible. Very bummed because I spent $50(including tip) to have my nails done for the wedding and it's tonight and they are ruined. Idk if this is normal for them but I would not recommend and I would like my money back read more

I went here for the first time 2 weeks ago and got a gel nail polish for the first time. Amy, the owner and manager of the store was very kind and helpful. They were very gentle when it came to the nail services. There wasn't any pain when they took out my cuticles (which i also did for the first time). I made a mistake of washing my hands without soap so the gel nail polish didn't latch on real quick. Nevertheless, they tried and tried again until it looked perfect. Obviously, customer satisfaction is their top priority which is followed by quality. Their location is perfect as it is next to Trader Joe's and Sweet Berry. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and to everyone else. read more
