Hope Spa & Nails took a gentle approach to customer service. They didn't push me with any extra add ons and were understanding of my last minute changes. I also enjoyed interacting with the salon bunny and look forward to visiting again. Sarah did a great job with my nails but the nails chipped within a week, which I feel is a bit too early for gel nails based on my personal experience. I still would like to visit again and try something different since the ambiance of the salon made me feel safe and comfortable overall. read more

As a fellow nail salon owner who has visited many other salons for pedicures, I have to say--this place truly deserves more than 5 stars. One thing that really stood out to me was the professionalism. Being fluent in Vietnamese, I can confidently say there was none of the typical side chatter you often hear in salons. The environment was respectful and focused entirely on the clients. Megan was incredibly detailed with my deluxe pedicure, and ATM (aka Tam) did an amazing job on my wife's pedicure. Both of them were not only skilled but also warm and welcoming. We need more technicians like Megan and ATM in this industry--talented, professional, and kind. A big thank you to the owners for creating such a pleasant experience for all your clients. Wishing you continued success! read more

I tried this place because I needed a pedicure. It was clean and spacious. Nice service. However, I am not impressed by my pedicure. The top coat doesn't even cover the whole polish and there are bubbles in my polish. Kind of sloppy which I was surprised by the outcome. They also didn't warn me that the gel polish removal would be an additional $5, which other places have not charged me for or they gave me advance notice. read more

Looking for a new nail salon and I found this one passing State College. There was only one person having a mani/pedi. I was taken next. The girl who was assigned to do my pedicure, it was obvious she was new at giving pedicures or didn't know what she was doing. Stayed to give her a chance. When she completed with my pedicure, she didn't polish but stood up and walked away to the next client. Didn't say a word. The guy at the desk taking in clients sat to do my polish. He scolded me because my cuticles weren't done and why didn't I say anything. WHAT!!! So he proceeded to polish. I decided I wanted my hands polished and asked. He looked over at the one other person having a pedicure and said "Your gonna have to wait, I'm busy" his tone wasn't appreciated and I can't imagine if they get more than two clients at one visit. I love animals but I just believe there are places they should not be allowed. A client walked in with her dog and the polish guy brought out his full grown rabbit and allowed it to run around. So, I'm still searching for a nice place to get a mani/pedi. read more

I came here once before and it was really nice so I came back today just to be disappointed. The nails I got don't look as long as the picture I showed him... I asked for long nails and he gave me medium. When I told Eric about it he simply brushed it off and said that they always ask before they cut my nails. My guy didn't ask, he just cut them after I said "I want them long, I just worry because I don't want them to break." I am upset with my nails but that's fine, it happens. But when I brought it up Eric was so rude, I figured I would at least get a little understanding. I don't expect another set or a discount, just some consideration. Plus on top of all this I still have hangnails and some pieces that need to be filed off. And for my mom who was with me, they basically took a whole 2 hours to do her toes, and dedicated a whole 40 minutes to perfecting her top coat. I'm so upset because they previously did a set that I LOVED, but I'm not sure what happened this time around. read more

I visited this nail salon for the first time after calling to make an appointment for three people. Upon arriving I walked into an industrial and open concept environment. I was greeted upon entry and one person from my party was seated immediately. Myself and my daughter had to wait some time to be seated and worked on. Although all the workers were very friendly, they have a limited staff and the wait time from when my party and I arrived to when we finished was way too long. Unfortunately, my gel nail polish only lasted just shy of a week. I may give this salon another try as it is conveniently located to my home and in a upscale shopping center with ample parking. read more

I got gel-x with tips (colored french tip design) and it turned out great! The place itself is clean and very minimalist which I liked.

I came here on a whim because I was in the area and desperately needed a mani-pedi and was really pleasantly surprised. I'm pretty picky with my manicures mostly because I hyperfixate if the polish work isn't clean or it has noticeable bumps. I did a gel-x manicure with medium/long almond shape and the gentleman who was taking care of me was SO meticulous! The shape was perfect and he chose a really great natural shade after I asked for recommendations. The pedicure was also good but I noticed they didn't really give me the options for which package I wanted so not sure if I got overpriced on that. The pedicure was standard, though I didn't love the color she recommended as much. All in all, I felt the entire experience was quite good considering it being a very on the whim selection! The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend for a manicure, especially!! read more

Was an amazing experience! I called earlier the day I went and got an appointment for that day. They were very nice doing my nails and checked at every step of what they were doing was what I wanted. I asked for my pinky to be shaved more and they did no problem. The deigned is beautiful and they even took the time to do it to make sure it was up to a good standard. There is one spot on my thumb that's weirdly mat, but that happens. I also filed some sharp spots, but I'm picky so that's just me. I definitely recommend this place!

Instead, the finished nails were incredibly thick, uneven, bumpy, and had visible air bubbles. The French tips were inconsistent in shape and width, making the overall look sloppy and outdated rather than clean and refined. My thumb had already started chipping almost immediately after the appointment. Because I wasn't satisfied, I returned to ask if my concerns could be fixed. Instead of listening, the nail tech immediately argued that the look I wanted could only be achieved with Gel-X. This was confusing because I've had simple French tip gel manicures done at multiple other salons without any issues. I explained again that my main concerns weren't about the technique. It was the excessive thickness, uneven application, bumps, air bubbles, and lack of symmetry on all 5 fingers on my right hand. She then said she would file the nails thinner, but immediately started aggressively filing one of my pinky nails without paying attention to the shape or symmetry. It became noticeably uneven, and I had to stop her because I could clearly see it wasn't being corrected properly. At that point, she decided to remove the entire set and start over. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse. I have a medical condition that weakens my skin barrier and cuticles, and the way she used the cuticle e-file was extremely painful. She also removed the gel very carelessly, leaving behind a significant amount of product residue instead of fully cleaning the nails. Throughout the entire experience, I never felt confident in her gel application technique. The polish remained thick, uneven, and lacked the smooth, refined finish I expected from a professional gel manicure. Despite the poor workmanship, the discomfort during the service, and having to return because of the quality, no refund was offered. I ultimately left without getting my nails redone there because I no longer trusted the quality of the work. This experience was disappointing from both a technical and customer service standpoint, and I will not be returning.

I had an amazing experience here and can confidently say this salon truly does not cut corners…read more I decided to get a facial on a whim, and it ended up being the highlight of my visit. Joanna took her time and made sure nothing felt rushed. She carefully assessed my skin and recognized that I have combination skin, so she customized the treatment using different handmade, organic masks for each area. You could genuinely feel the quality of the products. She removed my dry skin and whiteheads, and my face looked brighter, smoother, and refreshed. She also waxed my brows and upper lip -- my brows are beautifully shaped now! Now let's talk about the nails -- because clients absolutely notice attention to detail. We can tell when nail techs rush through the drilling process and try to hide imperfections under gel. We can tell when only one or two coats of color are applied and the tip is still visible under the top coat. That was NOT the case here. Joanna took her time with the drilling and shaping to give me the almond shape I wanted (my last salon left them oval). She exceeded my expectations. The nail artist was also wonderful and did not try to steer me away from my requested design, which usually other nail techs do to get you out fast and charge you for a design I could have done myself. Instead of rushing the gel, they built the pink color in layers for smooth, even coverage. The nail art was exactly how I wanted it. The final result looked clean, polished, and high quality. You can truly feel the pride they take in their work. I left feeling cared for, not rushed, and I will absolutely be coming back.

Crystal is very reliable, her services are excellent, and her prices are very reasonable. As others have said, Crystal normalizes the entire experience of waxing, which, let's face it, can feel pretty awkward. Crystal is a professional and makes every effort to reduce the pain, checking in throughout the process. With time, I've had body parts waxed that I was initially too embarrassed to admit needed waxing. For example, my nose. Haha! The best part is that I have definitely seen a reduction in hair regrowth, especially on my legs, because of waxing. Yay!!! Setting up appointments is easy and wait times are short. The shop is adorable, just like Crystal! It is clean and inviting. Abundant parking is available. I highly recommend Wax Off and Crystal - you will not be disappointed!

I only booked a Brazilian and asked if i could add in the armpits, Crystal accommodated my request and always goes out of her way to make sure you get what you need done! Thank you for being so professional, understanding and accommodating. I will be sure to come back every 21 days! Until next time, see you sooner than later!!

You get what you pay for here, and I mean that in the best way possible. This is easily one of the…read morenicest nail salons I've ever visited. The staff is friendly, professional, and incredibly talented. One thing I really appreciate is their transparency--they provide an itemized receipt and let you know the total cost before starting your service, so there are no surprises. The salon itself is beautiful, spacious, and surprisingly quiet, which makes the whole experience feel relaxing from the moment you walk in. The decor is absolutely adorable with pink accents, floral touches, and a chic, feminine aesthetic that makes it feel a little more luxurious than your average nail salon. They have five separate pedicure rooms, a huge selection of colors, and complimentary drinks while you enjoy your service. I always look forward to the mimosas and hot tea. What really stood out to me was how involved the management team is. I saw managers regularly walking around checking on guests and making sure everyone was happy with their service. I also noticed the staff thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing the pedicure stations after every customer, which I really appreciated. It's clear they take both customer service and cleanliness seriously. While Milano is definitely on the pricier side, the quality, cleanliness, atmosphere, and customer service make it worth every penny. They even have a rewards program where you can earn points toward future visits. Their nail artists are incredibly skilled and can create everything from simple sets to the latest trendy nail art. I always leave happy with my nails and already looking forward to my next appointment.

I'm leaving this review on behalf of my sisters experience because she was a bride to be and this…read morereally did upset her and made her time more stressful: I came here twice. The first time I came after getting my nails done the nail tech mentioned how I can come in 1-2 weeks to get a refill on my nails. When I came the second time for the refill the person stated that I could not do a refill and that instead I needed to do a completely new set. I am upset that the nail tech lied to me. Never coming to this place again I do not like when the nail tech told me one thing and then charged differently. It is a very predatory tactic. Highly disappointed with my experience. Also for me they put something on my feet and it burned. One of my toes was left with a burn mark. The nail tech also didn't really understand English so it took her awhile to take off the product so I had to dip my foot inside so I wouldn't burn the rest of my toes.
