If there's one thing I love, no matter the season, it's red toe nails. Always classic! The…read moreproblem is, when I paint my nails myself, I look like a three-year old just painted fake blood all over my feet. This is best left to the professionals. I had never gotten a beauty service done in Zurich, which is partly to blame on the cost of things, but mostly to blame on my hesitancy speaking German in new situations. But, I was going to Italy and dag-nabbit, my nails needed to look pretty. I picked Salon de Beauté based on a random internet review and the straightforward website - have to start somewhere, right? I made an appointment (auf Deutsch) through the contact form on the website and got an appointment for a pedicure and eyebrow cleanup for a few days in the future. My appointment was with Lucia, the owner of the salon. She is Czech but has lived in Zurich for a long time. She speaks a little bit of English, and we got along fine in a mix of German and English. The set-up for the pedicure was a bit different than what I am used to. In the US, I usually get a pedicure while sitting in a chair, perhaps in a row with many others. Here, because Lucia is the main (and only?) practitioner and because she does a number of other services, pedicures are performed at the end of a bed (like you might lie on when getting an eyebrow wax). I have to say that this was the most thorough pedicure I've ever received - my feet were like a baby's bottom afterwards and the red polish I picked lasted a long time without chipping. The eyebrow plucking was also very well-done. She also does facials, other waxing, manicures, and massages. Overall, highly recommended for her service and the prices were quite acceptable.

I showed her the picture of my eyebrow I used to get waxed, she seems to understood however it ended up so different (thicker and shorter eyebrow) + plus she waxed too much of my eyebrow off at the inner side of eyebrow making it so different from the other side I did not ask them to fix it bec they already waxed it off, no point fixing it but wait for it to grow back.

I now check twice who does my nails or does a waxing, almost entire staff changed several times since I am a costumer and this hasn't been for the better. If you need anything, don't write a comment on the website or e-mail, you won't get a respond for several weeks if you even get one at all (not even longtime costumers).

I had a terrible experience with waxing (this turkish lady burned me during a bikini wax and when I complained, she left me there, on the table and went up to ask for help.... nobody came (from the two other ladies working in nails upstairs) and what is worse, I later complained (by phone to the manager (or owner) Renee, and to me it seemed she really did not care: she agree to call me so I left my number (it was a Saturday, so she was not there) and she never did. It is a poorly ran, with poorly trained staff (morale and energy are quite low) business in a "centric, convenient area" of Basel. They tried to become a "cool" salon in a picturesque street in downtown Basel: I even happily thought it was going to be the alternative to Pure aveda (which is totally overpriced and at least a couple of years ago, also quite mediocre ), but Alas, it is unfortunately pretty bad. I will not return. I think there is a real opportunity for good quality, solid service nail and waxing salons in this area, I hope someone grasps the opportunity soon and delivers!
