I had a hair cut for 1st time here for a hair Cut Its not worth coming here ,because hair cut is uneven and rush. I had to come back to cut my bangs to even it out cuz it's blocking my sight. also length on both side are slightly uneven too .. The mani and pedicure outcome is so so depending on the person who is working with you, Will look at other place now . . read more

Came in as a walk In around 1:07 pm for gel pedi and mani They told they had time so I stayed.They had me sitting soaking my feet for 30+ minutes. Started attending other customers that had come in after me also walk ins while I'm still soaking my feed. when they started my pedicure the lady hardly scrubbed very rushed I didn't leave until 2:43pm and i didn't end up getting the mani because I had to go get my daughter at 3pm. I was very disappointed with their service. This is why I go out of town for my pedi and nail services. read more

Ask for Dalena! - only person I will let play with my hair. Dalena is such a great hair stylist. She will get your hair to what you want - but she will be honest about how it will be achieved and how much maintenance it will require after. I usually bring screenshots of inspo to show her what I want. I've had many hair dates with her pre-covid and every time I walk away super satisfied + healthier looking hair! She also does haircuts and nails too! *images of my hair stolen from her IG read more

This place is awesome for guys wanting a mani pedi at a reasonable rate and your hands and feet will feel and look their best. While getting pedicure, you are sitting in a very comfortable massage chair, while your feet are soaking in warm water while you're getting the pedicure. It feels relaxing and you can close your eyes and listen to the music. I felt great after coming here and will come back soon! read more

When you request to pay for an extra massage and they say yes, then two customers walk through the door for a service without an appt. And the salon workers now deny you the extra massage. Seriously? To top it off, they proceeded to rush through the standard pedicure. One week before, I had asked the owner, Betty, how I can get a little extra massage for a special birthday pedicure. She said just pay the extra $15 for 10 mins. She failed to mentioned that it will really depend on how her employees feel that day. read more

I took my sister for a haircut, pedicure and manicure. She saw Betty for all three services. I called ahead for an appointment, and she was waiting for us. Betty listened to all my sister's wants and needs. Her haircut came out beautiful. Also, my sister really enjoyed her pedi and mani. Betty is the ultimate professional. read more

This is my local go-to. Super nice staff and laid back atmosphere. They have consistently delivered a great gel mani pedi.

Won't return. Painful- hard sanding of toes instead of nails due to paying no attention while jabbering in their language to each other. Not even looking at customer or foot. It's rude to ignore a live human customer- especially when working on them! That should never have to be said. Cost over $30 for basic pedicure & no polish. Hurt for over a week! read more

Does a good job. Salon has nice community feeling. Everyone was so nice. Prices are reasonable.

Didn't get my ingrown nails that I pointed out. (One of the main perks of getting a pro pedi). $48 for gel on my toes.. wow.. it took over an hour. My girlfriend and I both had a sub-Par experience even when pre-booking and arriving on time. Also Frustrating that they want us to tip in cash. Who carries cash anymore. 3 stars because the ladies were nice and quiet but we had to wear our masks the whole time and it was packed (even though we went when it was open). My toes should be perfect for $50.. they aren't. Bummer. Won't be returning. read more

Don't waste your time. I called to check prices. I was told the prices and asked if I needed an appointment. They informed me they take walk-ins. Twenty minutes later I arrive. I'm in a cast and have to use crutches. I'm standing at the desk waiting to check-in for about 5 minutes. Another person walks in behind me and they ask her "can I help you". I lift my hand because I had been standing there. They ask if I have an appointment. I say no because they had just told me 20 minutes before I could walk in. They said they are too busy and are not accepting walk-ins. So either they are lying to customers on the phone or are picking and choosing with who they want to help. Minus 10 stars for service. read more

I was in town with 2 friends and we made an appointment for pedicures. We were greeted right away by the friendly staff. We were seated together in comfy massage chairs. The salon was busy but they were helping clients quickly. My pedicure turned out great and loved the color I selected. All of the staff was awesome!! read more

Come in for a manicure and leave with a cut thumb and an infection from dirty instruments requiring some serious antibiotics. THIS PLACE IS THE WORST. Tiffany is the rudest business owner with a serious disdain for LGBTQ and LATINOS. Her co-owner Betty is sweet, yet took no reasonable responsibility for HIDEOUS THUMB INFECTION that resulted from being cut by a careless manicurist, Anna. She was more interested in messaging on her iWatch than paying close attention to what she was doing. I too, "WISH THAT I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 0 STARS," as a previous reviewer said. :(((((( read more

Great mani pedi place. Best HMB has to offer. Staff is friendly and do an excellent job

Love this place for haircuts. Great cut, fast and inexpensive. The staff is always friendly, they remember me and walking in without an appointment is okay. read more

I had Betty do a fill manicure for the second time. When filing my nails, she was extremely rough & made my cuticles bleed. At one particularly painful point, I told her quietly that it hurt & she practically yelled at me that all she was trying to do a good job & file them. Pretty sure she intended for everyone to hear her. I was very surprised & somewhat embarrassed at her reaction. I wanted badly to leave, but felt I had to stay since it was a fill. When I was done with my mani fill from hell; I wished I'd given it right back to Betty but I didn't want to attract any more attention from the rest of the salon. She may be sweet most of the time, but that definitely wasn't my experience. Betty not only lost me as a customer, but when Image Salon comes up in a convo, I don't hold back about my opinion. read more

Walked in, had my nails started within 10 minutes! Tiffany is the best and was so meticulous with the gel manicure, which is hard to come by bc a lot of people rush and it falls apart within days, not here! Definitely recommend, ask for Tiffany. read more

Anna did my nails and they were wonderful. She was very patient and gentle. Would love to come back soon. read more

This place is solid through and through. Most people probably review this place based on the nail salon portion of it, but I also wanted to mention that they do several hair cuts as well. Both my husband and my son get their hair cut by Betty. She is the sweetest person and is well crafted at both hair and nails. I noticed this evening that this salon is popular with men's haircuts and what seems like drop in clients asking for hair cuts as well. I have had regular manicures, Gel manicures, and full set acrylics, all have been consistent and beautiful. They have a large selection of gel colors and also carry matching non-gel colors for those that don't care for Gel pedicures. If I had any criticism, I enjoy going to nail salons that offer a range of spa pedicure pricing, this place just does one spa pedicure, and it's nice and relaxing. Just wished they would incorporate a longer massage, hot stones, or mud wraps, even for additional prices. This place does get busy with wedding parties on the weekends and a solid local crowd during the week, so although they take walk ins, it's best to make an appointment and remain somewhat flexible and understanding. This is my go to nail salon. read more

The ladies here did a good job with my nails! I got a mani-pedi and it was a pleasant experience.

I always leave this place feeling disappointed and ripped off. I stopped coming here for a long time after a string of disappointing experiences, but I decided to give it a try again because I didn't have time to go over the hill. All I got was a simple gel manicure and it cost me $50, when the menu on the wall says $37 for gel manicure. I wouldn't mind paying fifty if I got a really good manicure, but what I got was mediocre at best. I do not recommend this place. read more

We were in town for a reunion and we were told to try image beauty salon. So glad we did! He was lucky to have a Betty do his nails and I had her "sister ..."both ladies were exceptional! It's a pretty little salon-full-service.Would return in a heartbeat for a pedicure - didn't have time this time! The salon is nicely decorated and well organized. read more

This review is specifically for the rudeness and lack of customer service from one of the business owners. I walked in to a quiet salon with my child for a kids haircut. She first said $25 dollars...(which is higher than the previous times for a kids haircut). Nonetheless, I said ok, how long will the wait be? She walked off, mumbling in Vietnamese then looked at me and rudely said "I have no time." The lone customer in the salon looked at me in disbelief. My child was taken aback and wanted to leave immediately. Owners: this is a small town and word travels fast. Take care of your customers or you won't have any. We have choices in town. We will not be back. PS: Don't assume others don't speak Vietnamese. read more

I made an appointment and walked in and they told me it would be another half hour because they were busy. I left and went across the parking lot and was taken immediately. Not good customer service at Image. read more

I am livid! I come here because honestly it's affordable but sometimes they tell you something and 5 min later they change their minds. My daughter is there now and she's been waiting for 30 min...she usually goes to Mizu which is more expensive but better service. Not coming back ever again! Plain rude! read more

Last minute appointment before heading out of town for a hiking trip with friends. Awesome tag team with Tiffany trimming my hair and Betty working wonders on my toenails -- my feet are going to feel great, even after long days of hiking. As a bonus, ran into old friends in the salon and able catch up on kids, work.... A friendly place with great service at reasonable prices. I'm a fan and will return! Thanks Tiffany & Betty! read more

Yesterday, 3/21/2018, I went in to Image Beauty Salon with my mom to get our nails done. The staff was extremely welcoming and the salon was clean. I had a rather complex request for the nail art I wanted. To my delight, one of the lovely ladies working at this salon nailed it!!! I'm kicking myself for not remembering her name, as she deserves all the applause , but I guarantee if you show the following pictures to the front they can pony you in her direction!! I love my festive nails!!! Thank you Image Beauty Salon!! read more

I decided to give them another chance after so many years. Once again, I was very disappointed. The end result I can't complain. But it was pretty painful. I don't remember names very well but the one who helped me was very rough cleaning my nails. As she was using the nail filer, she was scrapping my skin and was very careless about it, VERY ROUGH! I sucked it up because I was embarrassed to say something but the whole time I was fighting myself from flinching and making it too obvious. Lol I should have said something... After, she used the cuticle trimmer to go all around my nail, between my skin. Not gentle about it at all or done carefully!!! She was basically stabbing me with the pointer part of the cuticle trimmer between my nail and skin! That hurt even more! The cuticle trimmer kept slipping at the end and she would stab me under my nail and into my skin!!! I swore she was gonna end up cutting me.. once she sprayed me with alcohol my nails stung and oh lord did it hurt.. my friend was with me so all I did was laugh about it. To end things, I got lotion, and she used the same dirty towel she had under her, as she was cleaning my nails, to wipe the rest of the lotion off. Yea, not going back for sure ever again! Lol In the past, I have seen customers next to me get cut. One customer was dripping blood and they continued to try and do their customers nails with blood running in the way until the client just said please stop. My nails came out really nice, but their customer service is just awful! I was honestly really hoping that going back again after so many years, my experience would have been better. If it's gonna hurt that much the whole time to get my nails done, no thank you. read more

This place is a joke. I've come in three different times for either nails or a haircut and have always been told "we don't have time". Yet when I call to make an appointment I'm told to just come on in. Don't bother coming here - the sign on the door that clearly says "Walk-Ins Welcome" is an absolute lie and they do not, in fact, accept walk-ins. read more

Will not return I went there 2 weeks ago just to get a trim of one inch she charged me $40 the but price was not the problem. I found the service poor not very good customer service not very welcoming. read more

Pro: I got an amazing haircut! Even better than what I asked for. Tinh(?) made sure to ask before she made extra changes, complimented my hair, and gave me the name of some anti-frizz serums when I asked. Con: They will often ask you to "come back later". At 11:30 I was asked to come back in an hour, and the man at the front desk initially said 1:30; I corrected him to 12:30 and he said 'oh of course, sorry' and marked my name down. I came back at 12:30 and he said 'I have you marked for 1:30!' But they sat me down almost immediately anyway, so that was nice. All over pretty good experience! Very friendly hairdresser, good music playing. I will come back! read more

My friend and I scheduled apts at this salon because it's where she goes. To my surprise it's fantastic. I have been loyal for years to another salon in town, but Toff any and the other ladies have done an amazing job with my gel nails and pedicures. My new favorite place for sure!! read more

I woke up this morning and just said I need a haircut I haven't had a haircut since October 2019. Went into images and just had to wait 10 minutes for a haircut Tiffany did a great job I love longhair and I had about 9 1/2 inches of it . She styled it right up to be perfect for a long-haired fancier. I've had a lot of chlorine damage and sun damage to my hair but she was able to take care of that no problem and layered it very nicely.Tiffany cut my hair about seven years ago she remembered my name and where I worked. Couldn't believe it! read more

Very unprofessional. I called to make an appointment for a pedicure and the lady said she only had an opening at 3:30 or 4pm. I said nvm because it would be too late for me. Then my cousin called right after for the same thing and she told her she'd be available at 1:30pm. My cousin said I could take her place so I walked in at 1:30 and said I had an appointment at that time and they looked at eachother all confused and said ok and made me wait and didn't even have the courtesy of even telling me how long it would be till they could help me. I waited 10 mins and ended up leaving without saying anything. They had done something similar a year ago but I decided to give the place another shot. This place might be alright but due to the lack of service, in my experience, I definitely won't be going back. read more

Pros: Conviniently located off of hwy 1/92 Free parking Open 7 days a week Clean facility Long lasting colors Plexi-glass inbetween each chair. Cons: -The most recent change I noticed a couple days ago - some no longer wear gloves to do fills/manicures. ALL wore gloves during the pandemic and now with the most contagious varient some say they won't because it gets in their way. They need to consider their customers health. -Don't ever expect your appt to be on time for hair or nails. They are always behind even as much as 30 min. - Never a warm friendly greeting. - They speak to each other in Vietnamese in front of the customers while glancing at your toes/hands so they're clearly talking about you. Here's a tip, turn on your google translate while they speak and it will document their conversation in English. - They no longer use brand new nail files or buffers per customer just like they had during the pandemic. I use to see them throw it away and felt safe and comfortable but now they reuse them!! The pandemic isn't over! - Upsell on color add ons without letting you know its an additional fee. Always ask! read more

If you spend the time to read through all of the reviews, you will see a common trend: scheduling appointments and keeping that schedule is a major deficiency (problem). Pro: + Decent shellac manicure Cons: - Unreliable appointments (packs in as many walk-ins delaying scheduled appts) - Ambiance is non-existent - unwelcoming, like a sweat shop, move um in and get um out sometimes no music (sometimes really cheesy musak) rarely offered beverage - have to ask not very attentive with color selection - Pedicure foot massage is minimal almost non existent and missed my ingrown toenail - Color chart is wrong - Move you through like cattle - Pass you around like a hot potato I am a regular at this salon. Today, I called them at 11:15am for a shellac manicure and regular pedicure at the same time. They offered me 12pm and I told her that I wouldn't be able to make it there that soon so I asked for 1pm instead and she said ok. I showed up at 1:05pm and all of the mani and pedi stations were full. I grabbed the shellac nail chart to select a color. While looking at the chart, I spotted that number 522 and 477 (right next to each other) were identical colors and that they had 522 in there twice and were clearly different shades of a similar color. I wasn't received by anyone or offered any water. No music, no soothing ambiance, no welcome. After waiting 15 minutes, I asked for water and was pointed to the fridge to grab one. So I waited for 45 minutes before being seated in pedi chair. I asked for the color for my toes to match the color of my nails. I pointed out the mistake and duplication of colors and told Anna that I wanted the darker shade like 477 and sparkle coat on the ring fingers. She assured me that 522 was that shade. While one lady started my pedicure, Anna began to removing my polish and wrapping my nails with foil. But then Anna moved to the lady in the next chair to begin a pedicure. I was surprised but patiently waited for her to return. The lady finished my pedicure and told me to move to the nail station. I asked if I could stay in the chair and have Anna complete my shellac manicure and she said no, unless you want to wait. Wait?? The new lady said oh I can't fix your broken nail. Huh? You can\'t glue on a tip?? Then she passed me to Betty who proceeded to paint my nails. I struck up an interesting convo with the client next to me and was repeatedly scolded to pay attention to the uv-light to turn it on again. Who the F are you talking to? Fix the light to stay on the necessary amount of time rather then continually interrupting me. I don't continually interrupt you when you speak in Vietnamese to the other staff and ignore me! By the time Betty was nearly finished and applying the top clear coat, I told her that I wanted sparkle on my ring fingernails, but she said next time it was too late now. OMG!! I went back to the nail chart and saw that the color wasn't even correct (2nd time this happened to me there)! While I was explaining this to Anna, Betty was trying to ring up payment rather than address my concerns. I was considering an eyebrow & lip wax but since I was so disappointed and delayed, I wanted out. I left at 3:30pm. It was supposed to take 1 hour and ended up taking 2.5 hours!!! THIS IS A MESSAGE TO ALL OF THE STAFF OF IMAGE SALON - STEP UP YOUR GAME!! You are missing an opportunity to make a ton more by paying better attention to your clients! I know you think that you are making more money by rushing people through to squeeze in more customers. Improve your scheduling and stick to that schedule. SCHEDULE appointments and be punctual. Walk-ins should never inconvenience scheduled clients (showed you several apps that work easier, making your business run much smoother). AMBIANCE: Make sure you have soothing and appropriate music playing at all times (one time they had a very explicit song playing around young girls). Often there is no music or bad musak. WELCOME each client with a sincerity and offer of refreshment (beverage). Let them know the name of the staff that will be serving them and if there is a wait or any other issues. LISTEN to each client about what they want - don't pass them around and not tell the new staff what they want. Language and sweat shop mentality appears to be the significant barrier. UPSELL: Take the time to talk to your customers. They may want other services like waxing or haircut. You would be able to make more if you took a bit of initiative. ACCOUNTABILITY: When a client has a complaint or points out an error. OWN UP TO IT, APOLOGIZE AND FIX IT. DON'T JUST LIE, OR SAY IT WAS CLIENTS MISTAKE OR TOO LATE NOW, NEXT TIME....That shit don't fly! TIP: People will tip you better, come back more often and spend more on other services if you make them feel great. YOU DID NOT MAKE ME FEEL GREAT AT ALL - NOT AT ALL. An apology and offer to fix should be offered. PLEASE UP YOUR GAME! read more

They do not kerleo appointments.If they do ,you will be late.They accept walk ins when they have no time ,then ask yoto wait.never again.
