    First time here for a mani/pedi appointment. Glad I came across this salon - they are all certified in taking extra safety COVID-19 protocols. They have dividers up between each pedicure chair station. Being 3 months pregnant, safety is my #1 concern and priority and I'm happy to see that they're on the same page when it comes to staying healthy and safe. Will definitely be returning. Thanks @Lafayette Nails!

    Lafayette Nail Salon is OPEN as of today and I am overjoyed. My hands and feet have been neglected for so long due to the pandemic and so when I heard that they were open I rushed to get a mani/pedi. I took a couple of pictures so that you can see how wonderfully they have set up so that you feel safe and comfortable there during this difficult time. I am so very impressed with their attention to safety, and making their clients feel Protected and Comfortable while receiving their services.

    Kathleen and Kelly are absolutely amazing. They put up with all the trendy nails I want to try and always help me to make decisions on what's best for my nails. Kathleen is SO honest, personable, and kind. Kelly is a perfectionist and does the most beautiful manicures. My mom and I have been going here together since I was a freshman in high school and I'm a junior in college now. I cannot recommend them enough and I can't believe I didn't write this review sooner!

    I have been a customer of Lafayette Nails for about 8 years. Although I do not go on a monthly basis I do go as much as I can. I have always been treated well, the ladies are friendly and do a great job taking care of my nails. I have tried other places when Lafayette Nails has been too busy and I can't get an appointment. I have been disappointed in other nail shops but Lafayette Nails gets 5 stars because they do a wonderful job and the place is clean and welcoming.

    Love this place so much have been going here for years now. Always do a great Job and can rely on them to have my nails perfect and not break off. They are always so nice remember my name and ask me about my family and how we are doing because my mom and my sister also go here. Would highly recommend to anyone that hasn't found a perfect nail salon! Was able to do something unique that I asked for with no problem and matched it Perfectly to my toe nail polish!

    Found this gem at Lafayette to get my acrylic nails done and they do such an amazing job. She is SO detailed and patient, I'm always super satisfied not only for the excellence but also how friendly the staff is.

    This little place rocks it! Unlike many walk in places, where you have maybe one or two technicians, they fill it up with 4 on average. So you're not usually more than 2 minutes away from jumping into a massage chair. Their pedi is typical, until you get to the massage. And let's face it, it's all about the massage. Nobody really likes having their pigs picked at, so the reward? The massage... and they're not in any hurry. My technician thankfully wore no latex gloves (thank you thank you thank you) and worked my legs, calves and feet like she was on a mission. Whatever her mission was, it worked! I was completely blissful when completed. Overall - about a 15 minute massage (I say about, as I was in a mildly euphoric passed out state). Now, here's why they don't get the 5 stars. I brought my son with me. He's a hockey player, so a good pedi every now and again is necessary for those pigs. They started his treatment the same time as mine, and were finished with him before my massage even started. He was about 15 minutes total. He got no color - just buff, so that accounts for about 10 minutes, but he got ripped off. And the worst part? His was also $22.00. So mine was a deal, and his was not. I would have happily ponied up the full price for him had they massaged him as long as they did me. I'd recommend if you have youngsters, go somewhere else where they pro-rate for the shorter service. If it's just you & your giant legs & pigs - go here!

    Kathleen did, yet again, another AMAZING job. And just in time for Valentine's Day my cat is even in love with them

    Picking a polish ... The struggle is so real!!

Skinsoup is almost a full-service wellness salon including facial, body treatments, massages, lash extensions and more. I found Skinsoup using the MIND BODY app in 2022. Not sure what prompted an investment at the beginning of my pregnancy, but I'm thankful because ive noticed a complete change in my skin's health and appearance in the past year. I'm saying my skin is firmer, less breakouts in a year, my complexion is brighter, even , and the hyperpigmentation from eczema flares is all but gone. Facial routines seemed so overwhelming but not I have a AM/PM routine and I'm finally understanding what all these crazy products actually do . Wish I started this in my youth . Environment/ location: located in Lafayette next to the 5 little monkeys shop. Paid parking but really quiet. So peaceful inside the studio. There are 2 rooms sometimes used by the lash tech and masseuse. Inside is beautifully decorated , def has a bohemian theme going and is so peaceful. I judge businesses by their bathrooms and hers is gorgeous, clean, and I appreciate the towels instead of paper products. Facial Products : I can't speak to all the official products used during your face/body treatments but she does sell quite a few lines I love specifically SORELLA, SKINCEUTICALS & HENNÉ. I've probably invested hundredsssss in product but it's worth it and my face loves me. I have really sensitive skin, dermatitis AND I was pregnant when I started so I appreciate that I've never had a reaction, she has non-retinol products that work for pregnant women, and she's great at education. Most import army she reads cues so if you're tired , stressed, or would like to enjoy the facial and nap - she won't talk and she'll make sure anyone waiting outside your room is QUIET and not on their phones so you can enjoy it . Which reminds me - appointments are scheduled and she has to buzz you in which keeps the traffic inside to zero Events: lauren hosts pop-up events for clients and guests and they're cool. It's a great time to meet other, try products , learn something new, drink wine , eat and perhaps win something amazing in a raffle (I won a skinceutical gift set retail value :$$$ and it's been amazing) Facials: I recommend the 90-min services starting with the whole bowl in the $190range but now I get the 90-min bydrofacial which is about $365. Something I look forward to is the body work in between product application. Lauren had an amazing touch & and it's my fave part !

It was last minute so I wasn't able to book an appt with the owner Lauren but she was kind enough to squeeze me in with her esthetician Emily who was 5/5. She has the most calming and kind demeanor which already puts you at ease and while being extremely thorough, she also was excellent at explaining what part of the process we were in during the facial session. I had the Whole Bowl (90 mins) and was beyond impressed with the results. They only use the best high quality skincare such as Skinceuticals, as well as selling in store/can ship to your home too. The only disappoint is that they're so far away from home and will be a treat visiting whenever I'm back up north. Definitely book a session with Emily. Your skin will thank you I promise!

I have went to two other studios one in Berkeley that specializes in sugaring and the other in rock ridge that has two other locations and both spas are around if night hire pricing as nude salon. Timing and distance is the only reason I went to another salon. One was so uncomfortable and the lady was extremely rude the second place the lady after I told her twice burnt me. With this being said I will not go anywhere else but with Katie. I live in el cerrito so it is a drive and with traffic can take over an hr but she is so worth it. Her space is always clean the having slight ice this puts me at ease. The wax is always top quality and never once over a dozen times too hot or caused any irritation. She is also extremely kind and works at a speed I don't feel rushed but it is fast I can get in and out writhing 30 min if I don't chat her ear off too much. Her booking system is easy but I find it best to reschedule ahead to get my desired appointment she books out. If you are new to waxing or a seasoned waxed looking for a fabulous wax Katie is your girl. I appreciate her making a service that can be scary and painful as painless as possible. I always feel so much more confident and grateful after my wax session. Don't walk run to make your apt. Alexandra
