    I'm giving this salon a 4 Star because I am very satisfied with how my nails look. The shape is exactly how I wanted and the color is so pretty. Not to mention they have the most colors I've ever seen a salon have to choose from. I even complimented how organized the colors were. My pedicure was nice although they could have rubbed my feet a little more...isn't that one of the main reasons we get a pedi ladies lol the salon seemed very well maintained and prices were reasonable. I got gel on my toes and my acrylic balanced and gel and the total was around 110 with a tip.

    My cute nail design :)

    Very beautiful, clean nail salon! I got a quick, non abrasive gel removal and normal manicure. My too-long nails were perfectly cut down and shaped. Great polish selection! Staff was friendly.

    I had the worst nail experience of my life at Gen Nails and don't encourage anyone to receive services there. I arrived with acrylics and ask the owner if it was safe to remove them and add gel polish to my natural nails on the same day. She said of course and preceded to remove them. I asked to keep my natural nail length and have a rounded shape. When I sat with the tech who applied my gel she immediately filed down my nails in a short square shape and did not understand me when I tried to explain to her that was not what I wanted. When she applied the gel it was extremely thick and uneven. She applied 3 coats to one hand and 2 on the other. I tried to explain to her again and she still could not comprehend what I was saying to her. The "manicure" didn't include a hand massage or lotion and I was charged $45 for my experience. When I questioned the owner about my total when their price sheet shows a gel manicure at $25 she explained that I paid $20 for the manicure & $25 for the polish application. I'm not familiar with a salon charging separately for these services, especially when I don't believe I received a manicure. I truly believe the owner saw that I was frustrated & dissatisfied with the service and assumed I would not be returning and up- charged me intentially. I didn't want to cause a confrontational scene so I chose to unhappily pay the bill, and left vowing to never return. As I got a better look and feel for my nails my anger intensified. There were clearly bubbles and uneven spots on nearly every nail and although there were 3 coats on one hand, my nails were extremely fragile and bending. The edges of my nails were beginning to peel that same day because the polish was too thick. At that point I concluded that it was not a fair situation for Gen salon to have even received payment for such a dissatisfactory job. And I don't think it was the right decision to apply gel polish to nails that were just covered with acrylics. I think the owner said it was alright because she didn't want to lose my business. I went back to the salon in the morning and spoke with the owner about my nails, to request a refund. She took a quick glance at my nails and continued working on the client she was with. She didn't attempt to hear me, or apologize for my experience.. Nothing. She barely made eye contact and attempted to ignore my presence entirely. She exclaimed that the salon doesn't offer refunds under any circumstances and the only thing she would do is repaint them. I'm sorry, but after the horrible experience with this salon, I didn't trust them to work on me again, and I wasn't going to spend one more moment there. The unsatisfactory nail experience is something that could have happened anywhere. What disgusted me the most was the lack of understanding or customer service directly from the owner. This is your business and an extension of you. I would expect you to care about the opinions of your clients. The impression that was left on me is that they are completely focused on how much money they could gain from me, as opposed to my repeat business. I rarely ever write bad reviews. I try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt when a negative experience occurs. But I was so appalled with the entire process at Gen, I felt compelled to share this story, and encourage you to seek services from salons that deserve your business.

    Love the job they did!! Thank you!!

I was given plenty of time to get changed and comfortable without feeling rushed or taking too much time. A ground-level heater made the massage table comfortable. It was also nice to finally find an LMT that used a reserved amount of oils/lotions so you didn't feel like you were walking out of the spa covered in Crisco. Montana asked me about problem areas and focused efforts on those muscle groups, applying just the right amount of pressure, checking in throughout to make sure everything was just right.

She apparently had time, so she tacked those couple minutes on to the end and I got as many minutes as I actually paid for - that's always super appreciated! It would be nice if the room was a little more soundproofed or located further back in the building away from the road; I could hear lunch hour traffic rushing by on the street about 20 yd away.

Our experience was okay- not bad but we weren't wowed by any means. The location was nice and cute going for a quaint spa vibe. There's some light snacks, water, coffee, and tea. It wasn't brought to our attention that there were showers, sandals, or additional post service accouterment like razors, combs, lotion, hair ties, dry shampoo, etc. It would have been nice to know ahead of time so we could come prepared. We were told about the robes available to use so that was nice. I've never had a maternity massage so I can't compare it but it was nice. Took a little trial and error to get comfortable. They offer a bolster to allow you to lie on your stomach. I think perhaps it's better suited for someone not so far along, or just with different anatomy. The hole for my stomach did not feel deep enough and I felt pressure on my belly which was uncomfortable. My masseuse was gracious to work with me to get comfortable on my side and had a bolster to lie on my back as well. The "scalp treatment" was pretty basic and left much to be desired. I think they put peppermint oil on their fingers and then push your hair around your head. It absolutely was not worth the time or price we paid. I kept my opinions to myself as I tend to be a tougher critic than my husband but as we left he mentioned his thoughts on the "scalp treatment"- his words were I could have done without that- the hair dresser does a better job- I agree. We usually go to Panacea Spa but they were booked so a friend suggested Woodhouse Spa. It's really difficult to compare the two as Panacea is a true luxury experience albeit with a price tag to match. With our scalp add ons we paid almost the same as we would have at Panacea and by no means was it a paralleled experience. We might consider trying a basic massage service again but certainly not our first pick here in Columbus. Not bad just not amazing.

I called in September 2025 to get our services booked (tried to get something earlier but they didn't have availability for a couples massage until December - we wanted to do a massage together) Upon arrival we were greeted by super friendly employees who helped us finish our paperwork (we had multiple services and had to do the same paperwork for each service we signed up for and didn't realize it). After paperwork we were taken on the grand tour and then taken to the locker area where we changed into robes and sandals before our day started. The locker area was very small and LOTS of people. We started with manicures and pedicures and my technician Aryn was INCREDIBLE!! So kind and so fun to chat with and get to know! Following our mani/pedi we enjoyed the amenities - where we did the sauna, cold plunge pool, whirl pool, eucalyptus steam room, and enjoyed ourselves in the quiet area. The amenities were amazing but definitely small for the amount of people they booked services for. The pool area was VERY slick and I felt like most of the time if you couldn't find the workers for a drink refill or question you could find them squeegeeing the floors to prevent them from being so slick. After our 2 hour break between services we were ready for our couples (aka friends) massage. However when I was called back my sister was not brought back with me. We said we thought it was the couples massage to which Robert (the therapist) responded, "are you guys a couple?" It made for a very uncomfortable situation and feeling to start my massage experience. He then explained the 2 couples massage rooms were booked and there was no way to accommodate. That was completely fine but we had ZERO idea prior to that moment. Upon checking out we also learned that the complimentary beverage for each of us was also not granted since we didn't have a couples massage - I tried explaining that I booked the couples massage and was expecting that and the free drink and the person checking me out just replied with "you are expected to pay for services and drinks in which you receive" and then repeated all the things I was being charged for. I was simply trying to understand why we didn't get the services we initially booked and she must have not understood or cared to understand. Overall it was a beautiful spa and I can assure you, you won't find another like it - however for the price paid, time I waited from booking to getting the services and then not receiving the services nor the free drink like I booked was really off putting & disappointing when I paid over $450 for this experience.
