Love getting my nails done by Sue. I'm always happy with my dip nails They offer a drink and are affordable. They have also started doing a rewards program, which will be nice for regular customers.

I've been getting my nails done at Hooky Nails for several years now. While Alfie was my long time guy, and always knocked my nails out of the park, he recently moved away, and now his mom Cindy does them. I get the old school acrylic and fill and Cindy stepped in and didn't miss a beat! Everyone here has always been super friendly, and accommodating. And, I'm a fan of their prices too. Great service, beautiful nails and it doesn't break the bank! Yes please, and thank you!

I got my nails done by Su. She did a great job, very detailed oriented. Prices are affordable. I recommend it.

I walked in. Cindy did my nails. I pay attention to details and she did a great job. Remember to bring your gloves for when they are using the uv lamp

They are ALWAYS amazing!! Great prices. Friendly. And super job. Will continue coming back. You should too!!

Amazing job! Love my nails everytime! They do exactly what you want- can't recommend enough

Sue did amazing on my nails and I love how they came out. The only complaint I have is that they tried to charge me five dollars for shaping when my nails were already shaped before hand, and they added on $15 for chrome. None of those costs were discussed after I specifically asked about the price of the nails. When I called on the phone to ask about the specific nail set, they said it would only cost $45. Summed up, the nails came out great and I loved them. I just felt very blindsided and didn't like the fact that they were trying to charge me and being sneaky about it.

I've been looking for a good nail salon got a long time. I decided to give Hooky a try since I live nearby. They got my in right away as a walk in. The pedicure was super relaxing and they took their time. The place is pretty small so it was quiet which was nice. But my manicure is what stole the show! I have short nails so I think some techs struggle with that. But this is the best manicure I've had in YEARS! My tech was so detail oriented and she even went back and redid a nail because it didn't meet her standards. I couldn't be more thrilled about my experience and how great my nails look! This is my spot from now on!

If I could give 10 stars I would!!!!! I had a SPECTACULAR experience at Hooky this morning. I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door and offered a cold drink. I got the Hooky Pedicure and a full set with design. I had reached out a week prior to see if they could do something similar to a design I was inspired by and they responded yes! I am so pleased with the service here. I was appreciative that they took time doing my pedicure and let me feet soak for the full spa experience instead of rushing me. Henry did my nail and he was attentive and assured me that they would come out beautifully and they did! I will be a returning customer. The price was so reasonable and they provided me with a 20% discount. What more could you ask for!? I always want my nails skinny and shaped correctly. Hooky got it right!

Literally hundreds of dollars spent there for over a decade, and I was blown off today. Because I had the audacity to try to call them, not once, but THREE different times, and they never answered the phone. Desperately trying to let them know that I was running 4 minutes late. Four. They refused to go beyond a five minute grace period. When this place changed to one location, off William Cannon, I was not the only one impacted. There were many of us who were loyal to the 47th St. location, but who kept coming down south, even though it's over a 40 minute drive, because we like the brand. It's this sort of customer loyalty that businesses should be grateful for! Instead? I got no phone call, no follow up email, no attempt to touch base with me to try to work this out, and come to a better understanding. Nothing. So thank you for using me for my money! Way to go. It's not about the money. It's not about not being allowed to be four minutes late. It's about being blown off, when local businesses tout building relationships" with clients. My going there for 12 years, was that not proving that I was loyal? Fuck You, Waxing Studio. Those of you who want to go there still, that's on you. Beware of being blown off, and treated like you are a cog in the machine, just like anybody else. It's that sort of corporate BS I was hoping to avoid in the first place. Period.

Hell yes. I went to Elizabeth about once a month over the course of six months for a series of facials before I got married. In each session, she asked me how my skin had been acting, what kinds of activities I had been engaging in (good and bad, i.e., smoking), and created a personalized session for that appointment. She also educated me about the crappy face supplies that I had been using (without making me feel stupid) and got me started on an organic, gentle line of skin care that has done wonders for me. My face literally was glowing after every session. She is also EXCELLENT at waxing; my eyebrows look awesome. OH! And at about 5' 2", she totally adorable and not intimidating at all.

Yelpers have never done me wrong, so I called to book right away. My call was returned promptly and we discussed my wants/needs/options. I have never received a facial before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Orange Blossom does custom facials so Elizabeth said to come on in and we'd decide what was best. The location is in a little office park, but feels like a little old house inside. there are a couple of rooms and it is very peaceful. Elizabeth is as cute as a button, was very friendly, and instantly put me at ease. Once I wrapped up in a velvetly robe and tucked myself into the softest bed/table ever, she got to work. She decided on a deep cleanse, but did all sorts of stuff. We spoke briefly about my skin care routine and other than answer any questions I had (she was very patient, I had many, and was pretty nosy about the whole expereince), it was very relaxing. Whatever she did with paprika felt amazing, and I liked the mud mask and the facial massage. Ok, so I liked it all! I'd asked about a specific product and she introduced me to it at the end fo the session. It wasn't sale-sy at all (in fact, i'm wondering if or how she sells any product if the customer doesn't take the initative) and I got a great under eye product from Colorscience. Definitely a brand I'll look into since she gave me a sample of the Primer to try - which I did this morning - and love it! So my skin looks and feels fabulous. My pores are invisible and my face is seriously soft! This is definitely something I am going to have to save up for and do again!
