Looked for a nail salon last minute after a botched attempt to paint my own nails for a wedding I would be attending the next day. I found this place via yelp, was able to make an appointment with Angela for the next morning. The owner & nail tech, Angela was so friendly and gave me a great manicure. I wanted something with lace detailing, and she showed me a few options and I ended up choosing a stamp. She took her time, and I ended up loving the results. The pricing was great too, same as the Asian nail places, but better quality in my opinion. $19 for manicure, extra 5 for nail art. Aside from a nice looking manicure, I wanted to find a place that actually cleaned their equipment so I wouldn't be afraid of getting a nail fungus. The owner explained that she purchased a machine to sterilize the equipment, going above the basic disinfecting laws in place. The shop itself is small, only 2 hair stylists, and 1 nail tech, but nothing is lacking. I enjoyed the coziness of it. I expected the place to be decorated Indian because of the name "TAJ", but it wasn't! The owner explained that it was her & her 2 daughters initials. I don't get my nails done too often, but when I do, this is where I will go! If you take a trip here, mention Michelle sent you, and if I get 3 referrals I can get a free manicure :-) I know you'll enjoy this place as much as I Did! Update: came again for a 4th of july pedicure and I loved it!

Priscilla is very friendly, I look forward to seeing her every other week and catching up. She also does a great job. I now go twice a month for the same services - gel manicure and classic pedicure. I used to dread getting my nails done, because while it feels good, I hated trying to make small talk, especially when I can't understand what the person is saying. I no longer dread it, in fact, I love it. While I go to Priscilla, the other people are also friendly, so I would definitely recommend trying Taj Salon out.

This place is fabulous!…read more A bunch of hairdressers who were tired of the crap they took at their regular salons got together and created one they way they wanted it - and they did a helluva job! The salon itself is really beautiful. Big open space, decorated with just enough panache to be interesting, not so much you are rolling your eyes - Goldilocks perfect. The stations are open and make the most of the space - which is quite large. Excellent natural light from the windows covering half of the wall space, so it feels even more open and welcoming. They keep it really clean, which is really nice for a salon. The bathrooms are spotless, and the rest of the place looks first client-fresh all day. My hairdresser, Laurie - who I recommend wholeheartedly - is so happy there. She's been at a number of salons in the city and she feels completely at home here. So - a moment just for Laurie - she is amazing. Seriously knows her stuff, but will do whatever you want. You know how some hairdressers listen to what you want with your very own hair an then do something totally different? I hate that SO MUCH! Laurie is so not like that - she talks to you before she does anything, makes sure she knows what you want and discusses the entire process with you before she starts. On top of that, if you aren't really certain what you want, she will make all kinds of awesome suggestions and it is in your best interests to listen to her. She really does know her stuff. Plus - she is just really nice and fun to talk to - pretty important in a hair dresser! Regarding the review written by Sara P: Kayla was all about Groupon and Living Social, and that seemed to be going well, but she had a family emergency and actually moved back home to another state to help her family. Living Social is supposed to be handling refunds, but the other hairdressers at Shear Brilliance would be happy to provide you with the service you requested. I understand you were frustrated, but leaving a 1-star review for an entire business, composed of multiple independent contractors, based on your limited interactions with one person, especially now that you know the extreme circumstances - well, it's just not fair. Anyway - I truly love Shear Brilliance and support them wholeheartedly. They are a wonderful group of people, doing a job they love in a place they created together, and it's just plain fun to go there. Please give it a try - Laurie is the best, but all of them are worth your time and money.

I've actually been having my hair cut by Stephanie long before she came to Nuve. I still remain a faithful client and, a few years back, took the plunge into the world of fashion color- red, pink, purple, green, and blue. That has, of course, been over an extended period of time, and I always made an effort to follow Stephanie's professional advice and guidance. When I did blue balayage for the first time, I took her expert advice to remain in the cool spectrum of color and I've seen some amazing results! I also took careful note of all care instruction: not using shampoo with sulfate, rinsing with cool/cold water, shampooing less, conditioning more and so forth- it's just been a lot of fun and having colored hair has helped me connect with a lot of people as they admire my locks! Besides Stephanie, Nuve salon hosts an entire team of talented stylists. They provide many services, including manicure/pedicures, massage, Brazilian blow out, waxing... check out their website. Also, Stephanie does natural color and highlights; you can follow her portfolio on Instagram Rockin_locks.
