    *****UPDATE 4/23***** Thanks for responding. I do appreciate you offering to redo everything via a third visit, but after the second visit, I was too uncomfortable to come back. I've had to spend additional money elsewhere to fix it. 1) You said I only asked to fix two nails. I mentioned two, but also sent photos showing multiple nails and my entire pedicure were peeling. 2) You said prep is correct and not to compare. I'm not comparing for no reason. The Gel-X was very thin, incorrectly sized, and started lifting/popping off within 2 days. That's not normal. 3) You said volleyball caused it. I've played for almost 10 years and get Gel-X every 2-3 weeks. If volleyball caused this, the only difference was coming to your salon. 4) You said only a few toes/nails needed fixing. My entire pedicure was peeling on multiple toes (photos show that). The initial fix was buffing the top layer and painting over, not a proper redo, which compromises the integrity of the nail. In fact, the owner stopped the tech and asked her to redo the pedicure after I pointed out that additional toes were scratched during the buffing process. Also, I was also cut by the drill, got stung by acetone afterwards, and my toes were blown on by the tech's MOUTH, which is very unsanitary. I understand you're a newer salon, and I really did want to like this place, which is why I tipped and even booked another appointment after my first visit. I also reached out first to ask about your policy rather than demanding a refund or asking for anything to be fixed for free. At the end of the day, both visits, the photos, and past Gel-X reviews speak for themselves. I stand by my experience.

    Ruby was amazing, I fell in love with her. She is the most artistic with design, looking forward to coming back again!

    Jackie is the best!! Not only is she such a sweet and kind person (I love going to get my nails done just to hang with her!) - her work is also PHENOMENAL She has so much creativity and skill. It's always so much fun getting a new design! She can do anything!

    Jackie is absolutely amazing so friendly and kind! And Lee did an incredible job on my feet. They look so good! Love you, Jackie!

    Nails done by Jackie

    Jackie has been doing my nails for about 4 years now. I followed her from her previous shop because of how amazing her work is!! Jackie is the sweetest nail tech and she never disappoints me. I usually come to her with the most complicated nail art, but Jackie always makes my vision come to life!! Her new shop is super cute, the vibe is bright and aesthetic, and she has the best service and is super friendly. I live an hour away but I always come to Jackie for nails- it's worth the drive!!

    Nails were thick and lumpy

    The ladies working were very nice, Jackie and Tina. Tina did my nails and it just came out so bad. I couldn't really tell 'til I left because my hands were always away from me, under the UV lamp or being worked on. Tina shaped my nails unevenly and left them rough, cut my cuticles excessively, and used 3 layers of base coat (not color!! clear base coat...) so my nails ended up very thick. All of my nails are thick on the tips and divoted in the middle. She filed after the color too, exposing my nail tips for some reason. The ladies were also sharing a nail oil where she put the applicator directly to my nails before sharing it to another customer. It took an hour and cost $35 for this gel manicure.

    For anyone looking for great quality, and amazing service this is the place to be! Jackie is beyond talented and her work always amazes me. I will keep coming back, thank you Jackie!

    My nails are really thin and used to break a lot whenever I got gel polish. But ever since I found out about Hannah, I've totally changed the way I think about taking care of my nails. Hannah always puts her clients first and gives the best advice. She's super popular and has a lot of appointments, so if you're planning to go, make sure to call ahead and book with her so you don't have to wait.

    I took my two daughters to get their nails done and after a quick search we came upon Glow Nails & Spa. We were thrilled that they were able to accommodate three of us right away for a gel manicure Little did we know that it was a newly opened salon and would exceed our expectations. Jackie, the owner, was one of the sweetest women I have ever met and is also extremely talented and knowledgeable. She helped pick out the perfect holiday red and we all quickly pivoted and chose the same color. Maggie, another nail tech who did my daughter's nails, was also very kind and did a wonderful job. We are undoubtedly coming back and I can't wait to see how they've remodeled and upgraded the salon. 10/10, I definitely recommend.

Decent prices and clean facility. I have gone here for my lady parts a handful of times and it's been a great experience. I have been waxing for awhile so I can't speak to newbies who want feedback on pain. Just so you know the first few times are uncomfortable. If you have a high pain tolerance you're good. If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding. Personable, professional and took care of the area well. I will definitely go back to her when I make another appointment.

But the 2nd and 3rd time I came here Linda wasn't there so I was seen by someone else and both times , I asked for a playboy yet I didn't get what I wanted. One waxed everything off forgetting I was getting a play boy, and the other time the girl doing my playboy didn't do it correctly. I assumed she didn't know what a triangle playboy looked like because when she was done , it didn't look like a triangle at all. And staff gets rude when you tell them how you wanted it after not going it correctly. Not coming back to this locations again. Staff needs to be trained more. Staff also needs to confirm what kind of wax the client is getting before waxing everything off .

Pedicure - For my pedicure I had a mixed experience. I wanted to go with a pink polish on my toes, however, I was asked if I wanted gel instead of polish 3 separate times because "polish will chip in 2 days". She also asked me which color I wanted on my toes 3 separate times even though I had picked my color already, and then ended up selecting a color for me. I'm happy with the overall results of the pedicure but the process itself was a bit stressful. Payment - I paid with card and tipped cash and was told "next time pay with cash". Overall, I was happy with the end results and the speed and availability, but there are some things service-wise that could be improved upon.
