Dropped in on a random Wednesday after searching for a nail spot. Walked in and was greeted. Promptly sat down in the massage chairs. To be honest its been a minute since i got a pedicure. I will say that they are extremely thorough and great attention to detail. The staff was super friendly. They accept CCs and cash. Definitely coming back. read more

I actually never received any calls, texts, or emails from them.The receptionist claimed they couldn't leave me a voicemail. I seriously doubt they ever tried to contact me to reschedule! There was no other sugarist who could wax me, the only option they gave me was to reschedule me for a different date. There's nothing ruder than wasting someone else's time!

If I could give 0 stars I most definitely would. They are homophobic, and discriminating. It was my cousins first time coming here. We read reviews and seen mainly good ones so we decided to head down for a full set and pedicures. they would not do my cousins nails do to the fact he was a Man, and decided to start talking about him and laughing at him while he waited for his mother to finish her pedicure. Never again will we be coming here. Do not go here is you are against homophobia. read more

The worse head spa of my life!!! I can't believe I spend $100 on this crap. Where do I begin…read more... For starters I made an appointment when I arrived they were clueless about my appt. I specifically asked if they blow dry and style the hair after it's been shampooed and she said yes. She still took me in but she seemed so lost (that should've been my red flag). They made me lay down on the most uncomfortable bed table where my neck didn't reach the sink. The room Was hot with no AC and no relaxing music it was dead. She started to supposedly do head massages using these tools that were cheap and horrible and didn't make my scalp feel good at all. She would only massage with them for 10 seconds and move on to some else so uncomfortable. She then put some eucalyptus oil on my neck and shoulders and started massaging me with her knuckles! I told her it was painful and very uncomfortable so she stopped. She then started to shampoo my hair and after I asked if she could put some treatment bcuz it was dry. She wasn't going to but since I told I'd pay extra she did. She then proceeded to wash my face and add a scrubber leaving my skin dry afterward. It gets worse! She had no intentions of putting any moisturizer on my face! I told her aren't you going to add facial cream. She then said oh u want cream?! She then proceeded to put body lotion on my face!!! Wtff! At this point I was so over it! I wasn't relaxed as I thought I would be and my hair felt hard from the cheap products they use. Then we go to the blow drying station and I see her add some basic spray and just do a quick blow like half assed. I then said aren't you going to blow dry and style and wait for it!!! She says oh sorry we don't do style here. I wanted to scream! I told her I specifically asked you if you style and you said yes or else I would've never stayed!!! I have a concert to attend and wanted to look nice and now I look like the scarecrow! Gets even worse!!!. I then had to take it upon myself and start to blow dry my OWN hair!!! I paid $100 to fckn blow dry my own hair!!!! I could've saved $100 and done all this shit in my own home and done a better job! I've been to so many head spas and was excited there was one finally close to home but it was the worst experience of my life!!! Please don't waste your time and money at this place! They don't know what they are doing and aren't qualified for this stuff! She even had the audacity to assume I would tip her like TF!!! I'm so disappointed never again! Stay away!

I showed the technician a picture of the ladybug trend and they said they could do it. They could not. Different technicians guessed and trialed different things getting frustrated with me. One even smacked my hand when I didn't give her my hand right away. Appalling!! Out of frustration I told them just to take everything off. This was supposed to be a relaxing mommy time away and was a nightmare and left with damaged nails. I will never return here again

I've noticed whenever she is not here they take advantage and act like fools, they told me one price at first and I was fine with it. Once they started talking amongst themselves in a language nobody in the salon nobody understood the price was raised +$20 from the price at the start. Every time you ask for them to fix something they roll their eyes and take it in a bad way.Would not come back.
