    Before and after extensions placed- February

    I've been a client here since January and always have a fabulous experience. All of the staff is wonderful. I usually see Bre and she is amazing! I have been doing the extension service and the service is great- all pricing was explained up front during the free consultation so there are no surprises when I come for visits. My hair has grown so much since I had them placed which is exciting. My hair was beyond fried and not growing which is why I had the extensions placed.

    If I could give this salon NO stars I definitely would! I had been going to this salon for years. I brought my 3 children, husband, my mom & even my Mother in law here for hair services. On June 1st I paid around $350 for an all over blonde color and the stylist did very minimal highlights which wasn't I had asked for. My hair was a blank canvas with NO pre-existing hair color so there was no reason for my hair to still be my natural color with the tiniest bit of highlights when I left that day. I came back within the 7 day guarantee window and even the stylist admitted to me that YES she didn't do what I wanted and was happy to fix it. (All of which was sent through Instagram) I regret coming back for the 2nd correction appointment because the owner, Jessica, completely wrecked my natural hair. I walked out with horrible, orange brassy hair that day. I had to pay $27 for her to wreck my hair. So I spent about $400 this month at this salon and turned out looking like a clown. When I confronted Jessica about it she degraded me over and over about what I wanted it when it's clearly NOT even close to what I asked for. I will be contacting the BBB and the board of cosmetology of Delaware. I found out that JESSICA, THE OWNER, isn't even licensed to do hair and RUINED MY HAIR!

    Example

    The nail tech was very nice but still did not get polish on nail correctly even when she asked other tech why polish was not adhering to nail. I've been to other salons and when this happened they would start the process all over. My pedicure was well done.

    I've tried the salon a few times and each time my experience was no better than the next. Top prices for inexperienced stylists.

    Ive been going to this salon monthly for pedicures for some time - very clean, professional setup…read moreand a good value.

    I've been a regular customer of this business for a while and loved their services. However,…read morewhenever Mr. Lee did my nails, and I would leave quite unsatisfied because he's more of a business person than a nail technician/specialist. What happened yesterday was beyond believable. I went in for acrylic nails. He asked me whether I wanted it long, to which I responded, "No." He proceeded to do my nails, and I just let him do his thing. I reckon he steps in when there's no one available. At some point, I told him I wanted it oval. My regular nails are so short. He told me they were so short, and he possibly couldn't shape it oval. He hadn't added the acrylics because he had interpreted my "no" as I didn't want the acrylic extensions. I had even said I wanted "French tip" with the acrylic. He kept complaining and arguing with me about what was said or what was not said. I decided 'enough was enough'. Let me just pay and leave. At 1st, I had agreed that he could just paint it as it was so we could move on. However, he kept arguing with me, and Ms Kay, the owner also defending him, that I said I didn't want acrylic and now I'm saying something different when she hadn't even heard the conversation when it occurred. At the end of the day, my nails were left midway, with acrylic powder on it, no paint, just undone, and awkward. There was no "I'm sorry" and no attempt to make it better, just arguing. Nobody has to be treated like that by any business. I didn't disrespect them in any way and didn't deserve to be treated like that. I wish to convey that it's important to be mindful of how you treat all your customers because we all matter, and you may also need someone else in a different setting.

    By far my favorite nail salon in the Middletown area. I've deemed Nancy Q my regular stylist after…read morethe amazing work and customer service she has provided. I love that she is a perfectionist and makes sure her work is precise + approved by the customer before finishing. My daughter received great service from Wendy and my husband says Lisa provides the best pedicures he's ever had. The salon is very clean and all of the staff is friendly. There is always someone at the front the greet you and always some great music playing to set to mood. Being from Philly, I was so used to acrylic nails but since getting my nails done in Delaware, I've been introduced to gel. I've tried a few salons out and most in the Middletown area don't even offer acrylic services or always recommend gel. I can honestly say the gel has been good to my nails. They are stronger, grow healthy, and they dont easily chip or break. I've been to this salon a few times before reviewing it to ensure its consistency, as I've had some inconsistent experiences with another salon in the same area. I am happy to consider this place my regular salon now and cannot wait for me + my families next appointment.

    They did a really good job! Super friendly which made them stand out. They fixed what was messed up…read morefor free.
