The lady I got my pedicure with was WONDERFUL (her name is Karen), and she took her time with my pedicure and the recommendations. When I came back for my manicure though, the young lady who did my nails did kind of rush me through my service and my gel manicure started to chip within two days. I called in and asked for a repair and Ms Karen serviced me upon returning and it's been almost a week and my manicure still looks fresh! I'm so happy with my results. I will be regula booking with Bliss.

Loved that they offer over 10 different pedicures, and my absolute favorite part is that you can add on a timed massage, to ANY one you pick (up to 20 min, for an extra $25). The salon offers LOTS of different colors, and different brands of gel polish. I got a gel manicure and pedicure, and I felt that my technician really took her time and did a great job. She did 3 coats without me asking, because the color was MUCH lighter than was in the bottle- I appreciate small things like that. $100 for both (and the extra massage)- I will definitely be back here!!! Note- only street parking. Wasn't hard for me at 11 am on a week day, but not sure of the parking at later times in the day or on the weekends. Have heard there is a nearby parking garage (but didn't see it). Lots of construction going on, on the same street as well.

I've been to this salon several times and always tipped well, but today's visit was unacceptable…read more After accepting a customer in front of me then proceeding to remove my gel manicure, the staff refused to paint my nails and offered no explanation. They still had plenty of time before closing, yet chose to move on to another pedicure instead. Very unprofessional and disappointing treatment for a returning customer. I must add that they gave me a cute flower on my birthday thus three stars, but I likely won't be back. Next day update: I got a call from the manager of the store apologizing for the inconvenience which I genuinely think was very thoughtful of her to review the security in the name of customer service. Thanks for all you do.

The attitude of the person I dealt with makes me never want to go again. My family has paid for a half dozen services and yet there is no thought to a long term relationship.

They are actually just around the corner from me and I would have considered making this a more regular stop, but one interaction has cost them a lifetime of business.
