Bob And Tricia Realtors T.

I've been here three times, calm atmosphere and my gel manicures lasted until the gap was so large from nail growth I was embarrassed and had to go back Overall I was pleased but plan ahead, they stay busy and it's difficult to get an appointment on a walk-in basis. I've had 3 different technicians and all were excellent!

Gel mani - color OPI We the Female

I had a wonderful manicure with Julie! She was so kind and we had such a fun conversation about fall nail trends. Her nail prep was also stellar. Every time I get gels from this salon, they last at least two weeks, and for $40 for a gel manicure this quality it's definitely the best salon in the area! It's also always super easy to book an appointment and they are very accommodating. Will be back again soon!

Dip nails

I had an awesome experience at Lee's Nails! I think I've found my go to salon in Charlottesville. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and taken in at exactly my appointment time. The interior was cute and extremely clean. I got dip nails- the color selection was fantastic and my tech paid a lot of attention to detail, making sure the shape and application was exactly what I wanted. They don't seem to take many walk-ins so definitely make an appointment. The upside to that is they weren't over booked and took everyone who came in as soon as their appointment time came up. Price-wise, I paid exactly what I'm used to for the same service at other salons. I'd definitely recommend giving Lee's a shot!

If I could rate this nail salon less than 1 star I would. Their prices are insanely high for the basic services they provide. I was charged an extra 8 dollars for "coffin shape" without being notified until check out. It also does not say that shaping is an added charge on any of their pricing boards. Please see photo attached for my "coffin shaped" nails. I think they may need a lesson one what what shape looks like. The nail technician was very quiet and would not communicate with me other than to tell me where to move my hand. In my opinion you can receive better service, prices, and friendliness at any other nail salon in town. I for one will not be returning and advising anyone I know to do the same.

Gel manicure in my favorite shade, OPI Red

I found my new go-to nail spot in Charlottesville! Beautiful gel manicure. The nail technician was very polite and friendly, stopping often to ask me if I liked the shape and so on. "How does that look and feel to you?" What a nice touch! I don't get my nails done that frequently but I was so happy with the manicure I got that I think I'll have to do this more often. $40 for a gel manicure is comparable to the other places around town that I called. Worth it in my opinion. Must try this place-- treat yourself!

I've been to Lee's Nails about 4 times now and get SNS (dip powder). It is always so beautifully done! They have a good protocol for COVID (mask required, temperature checked upon entering, washing hands, etc.) They play really entertaining shows as well!! John has always been kind to me and he is really talented. This is my go-to nail salon!

45 minutes after leaving. first off half the nails aren't painted correctly, he couldn't get the dip color even in the nails. my nails are shaped so laughable bad and they had no clue what they were doing. I spoke to a manager who was so extremely rude I don't know how she has a job, she told me they looked fine but she did not have the experience to fix them???? how are you a manager at a nail salon yet you don't have the experience? like can we be serious? later i called back and she couldn't keep her cool / also couldn't fathom the fact i was unhappy with this insanely terrible service. She screamed at me to never come back and hung up, when i was the one that went through the hell. Nobody in there knows what they are doing and honestly they should be shut down. I honestly was laughing on the phone at one point they said "did you leave with the nail on?" uh like yeah not thinking it would fall off 45 minutes later that's but normally how nail appointments work?

CHECK PRICES BEFORE YOU GET SERVICES
Lisa B.

GET PRICE BEFORE YOU START I have gone here so often and have had the same services. Tonight I just recommended it to another new customer. I've had several technicians always super pleasant, great work, CLEAN. When I went in to salon ALL polish was off my toes and fingers, I purposely do that. I've traveled all over the country with my job. I have NEVER paid $152.00 and NEVER here for the same services. Today I had the owner who I never had. Full set of SNS nails, (French) Deluxe Pedicure with Gel (French) (French extra again not a problem) My appt was 3:30.... Took me promptly however, three hours later because she was on phone constantly. Actually conducted an interview with a possible new employee during my pedicure. When I questioned the total at checkout.... Response: "I've been charged incorrectly other times (every time?!?!?!) or "they should have told me before I came in" ..... YOU THINK! Considering I've been there with my daughter, granddaughter, numerous occasions again same thing and NEVER this amount. I get the charges for the SNS pink and white But none of the charges for the pedicure..... It took THREE hours that's on YOU for scheduling appts and conducting an interview during my appt. Craziness..... I left a tip because that's business however I will not ever recommend this salon to anyone again. If you choose to go and give it a try. Again, other technicians are AWESOME and clean but double check service prices before you start. Life lesson!

Visited brow house a handful of weeks before COVID-19 shut businesses like this one down…read more I went early on a Saturday evening and I was the only client in at the time, only one esthetician working; understandably Saturday evening isn't the most popular time. It was easy to book an appt on their website and I was sent a reminder and also given friendly service when I called in with questions about my appt. I was greeted warmly upon entering, and the whole appt went smoothly with Ruby. I was there for a Brazilian and was almost 9 months pregnant, so pleasant isn't probably the word to describe things, but Ruby did a great job. The place is super cute and the rooms are nice and cozy, clean and calming. They don't feel sterile and cold but you can tell they're taking all the right sanitary measures. I will definitely revisit for that and other services once they reopen!

Sarah who did my wax was super fast and efficient and made me feel so at ease in a vulnerable position. Mackenzie was so knowledgeable and sweet with the whole process of the lift and tint , talking me through the whole process and making me feel super confident to come back! So glad I tried and found this place! Prices are super fair for the services as well and the whole vibe of the place was so cute !! Will def be using this place as my go to :)

This may have been partially a hormonal coincidence, but the facial certainly helped. Michelle seemed knowledgeable and skilled. She assessed my skin and provided me with her assessment and some tips. The facial itself was relaxing. I'm just so thankful my skin is finally clear.

I visited Love Face & Body Spa (bought & rebranded) for the first time yesterday for a facial. I…read moreoriginally had booked the Advanced Renewal facial but my esthetician Kayelyn actually said I didn't need that exact facial because my skin is still young as I'm not yet in my 30s. She instead recommended I do the YonKa dry skin facial which is actually cheaper than what I originally booked. I love that she picked what would be best for my skin without trying to upsell a more expensive facial. I'm not well versed in skin care so I really liked that Kayelyn walked me through everything she was doing and the reasons why. Most times you just lay there in silence and while I do like sometimes to just relax and fall asleep, I really appreciated the skin care education and I was still able to relax as well. But I feel like I have a better idea of what my skin needs and how I can achieve it. The only reason I'm rating this 4.5/5 stars is because I normally like some lip care during my facials and this was lacking that. I really liked the essential oil toner she used and ended up purchasing it afterwards. The scent is heavenly and made my skin feel great. I normally don't purchase skin care products after my facials but I really liked the YonKa brand products she used on my face. You should definitely head over to Love Face & Body Spa and have Kayelyn give you a facial! You won't regret it.

She provides an attention to detail at finding the best spots on the body to work on as well as providing a peaceful, empathetic and calming environment. She combines a deep tissue, Swedish pressure that magically soothes stress and pain. I strongly recommend her and will definitely be back for future treatments. Thank you,Sam, for a truly remarkable experience on your table!!!

This was my first time at this spa. I booked a 90 minute Integrated Swedish Massage that cost $155…read morewith Vincent online, which was easy to do. He was the only masseuse available for the time I needed, I didn't have a preference. Parking can be a little limited if looking for free, but there's 2 paid public parking lots on the other side of the railroad tracks which is only a short walk away. They had a walk-in that ran late so the room I was going to be was occupied so I had to wait about 15mins past my appointment time, but the receptionist was kind. There's a room that's in the lobby area, which was mine and I was nervous about how loud it would be because there was also work being done on the railroad tracks which are right next to the building. They quickly turned over the sheets when the appointment before me was over. The overall massage was good, Vincent had different techniques than what I was used to that helped with my trigger points. I'm not sure if he ran out of time though or if this was just his style but he didn't massage my arms or neck area when I was laying on my back. He did spend a long time on my back though which was helpful because that's where most of my tension was. I also liked that he didn't do the exact same thing on each side, it felt truly customized to where my tension was and what my body needed. He used hot towels too, which were a nice touch to help relax my muscles. He also provided me some neck stretches I can do to help release tension. They have a lot of masseuses to choose from both women and men. Overall, I enjoyed my massage!
