She really listened to what I wanted and gave me helpful suggestions without ever making me feel pressured.

I'm not the only one read reviews! Updated This lady has lied in a review! I never contacted them to set up an appointment. I don't even wear acrylic nails I do SNS. I asked for gel, but now I know she put acrylic on my nails. The entire service was not what I asked for and you lied about the price you commit a credit card for and now I'm posting the pictures when you keep denying a call and I posted the recordings. The lady took off $10 off of my nails because she broke them. I have a recording with them admitting to me saying no tip. I have several phone calls from them. I have text messages while I try to reach back out to them and do the right thing. I'm going to post them on there. I have a recording this morning where she's hello hello I cannot hear you. She knew exactly who I was and they know what they did never set up an appointment didn't know about this. I'm not even from here My nails was done in Tulsa Oklahoma. And now they lying because they stole money and committed credit card fraud. And I will be pressing charges and I also was disputing the transaction. So you stole six dollars from me but now you're losing three times that. I have it on recording everything! This place is crazy! She totally messed my nails up and ask me how I'm going to tip her out loud so everyone could hear. I had 1 broken nail on each hand! No yellow, no cracks no nothing. She would've had to do a new set and soak off because I do SNS powder dip. She broke the nail and started to laugh. The whole review that she just put was 1,000,000% a lie. I told her I had just got off work at 6 AM and I was very tired. I had not meant to sleep. I'm not even from here. I'm here working. I never set an appointment. Never knew about this nail shop. It was the closest one. We have to discuss what I wanted. I told her gel. The entire time I asked for something she just ignores what I asked for that's why I put the text message in there while I'm telling them this this is in my friend said you asked for four times kendra you need to ask for a manager. That's when I say FaceTime me. As you look underneath, my nails is no yellow! I will also post a picture today before of my nails then I broke, but 2. One on each hand! She drilling on my real nails and I said be careful and she broke my real nail and started laughing. There way shorter then what I ask for. Humps everywhere so much acrylic underneath the nail bed. I came in with long, beautiful nails. Some were broken. But by the time she finished, I had nothing left! Nails Different shapes and sizes, and she ask for a tip! Even my Lyft driver said I wouldn't even pay for that. That's how bad the nails look. This is just one of the issues of my nails. I kept correcting her throughout and she stood was just laughing and trust me trust me I said make them thicker. Trust me trust me she wouldn't make it thicker some thick something. Everything I ask for her to fix she found it funny and would not fix. Then turned around very loudly and said how you wanna tip?! I said tip required how you want to come to the front! So I left my AirPods in there in the other clients and also nail people decided to have a conversation about me. It wasn't about the tip. I'm from another state here working so the money was not the issue. It was the issue that every time I said something was wrong. She would not fix it and she found it funny. She literally found it funny that she was drilling on my nails and broke it after I kindly said please be careful. I asked for a totally different length, but she kept drilling and violent and I have literally no nails left. I will not tip you. Nowhere ever come back again. This is literally right after I left the nail shop. I have the receipt in the Lyft driver, so they cannot say that they did not do my nails here. just checked my car since I refuse to tip her she told me $60. I checked my credit card and it's $66 on there so you took six dollars from me. Call back to the nail shop. The lady said what you say, you tip her 2 to 3 dollars I told you no! It was like they was trying to force me to tip her! She said she worked two hours on my nails. She did not work two hours on my nails. They open up at 9:30. This is the time I got to there. It was about an hour or less she worked on my nails.

She asked us questions to understand our needs and then showed us products to help. She and the rest of the crew were so warm and friendly! We had a wonderful experience. After using the products at home in CA for a few months, I knew I'd fallen in love. I've placed several orders since my trip last year both for myself and loved ones. Each time I order, I'm shocked by how quickly I receive my products seeing as they have to come all the way across the country to reach me. Each order has had a hand-written personal note from Sophie thanking me for my purchase. So sweet! I also have sent a few emails asking questions or for recommendations and always get a kind, thoughtful and thorough response. It's so different from most commercial businesses and I love it so very much. It's these types of little touches, the extra care and effort, that keep me constantly looking forward to when I can visit again in person. I literally tell everyone I know about my Jane Gee products and experiences because it's beyond amazing every time. AND- my skin has never been so clear and soft!

Im extremely disappointed with my experience here. I came in with long, healthy, strong natural…read morenails and specifically explained that I wanted to keep my natural length and simply have builder gel applied over them so I could avoid extensions. Unfortunately, my nails were filed down drastically shorter than what I asked for. During the appointment, I specifically told the technician that I wanted to keep the length . However, the filing was so aggressive that at points she was essentially filing against my skin. I walked in with natural nails that I had spent months growing and taking care of, and walked out with extremely short, boxy nails that don't even look like mine. The entire reason I requested builder gel was to preserve and protect the natural length I already had--not remove it. What makes this particularly upsetting is that I'm expecting to get engaged very soon and had intentionally been growing and strengthening my natural nails for that reason. Now I have to wait weeks for them to grow back to where they were. I also paid cash, so unfortunately I don't even have the option of disputing the charge for a service that was completely different from what I requested. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I'm genuinely so disappointed. I clearly communicated what I wanted before and during the service, and my request was ignored. Had I known I would leave with my natural nails filed down this drastically, I absolutely would not have had the service done. It was chair #8

Solari uses Aveda products which they tell you are plant based and safe. They could be plant based…read morebut definitely not safe. At first I trusted what they said about the hair color being safe then I started with a great deal of hair loss which was contributed to my age. Then I started with some irritation after coloring and then severe pain and blistering which I had to apply ice packs to my head for 4 days before it subsided. I asked to see the ingredients and I was sent the product leaflets for each item used to mix my color. They are definitely not safe and contain multiple ingredients above OSHA approved levels of being toxic and dangerous and contribute to hair loss and severe scalp irritation. I made this known to the manager and she told me she would talk to Aveda and get back to me. it has been 20 weeks since then and she still hasn't gotten back to me. I can only assume Aveda knows its ingredients are toxic and just don't care. In those 20 weeks of being free of Aveda products my hair has filled in bald spots and is growing strong and healthy! Please do not take my word for anything, just stay informed and ask to see the actual ingredient papers enclosed in each item used to mix your color. You can't miss the large dark printed letters "TOXIC " I still have my copies! Good Luck and take care of yourself! Linda

This place is the worst nail salon I've ever been in. I went in here one day to get a mani & pedi…read more I sat down for my pedicure first. The female nail tech couldn't get my toe nail polish off. It was a regular color with a coat of glitter. Not sure why her nail polish remover wasn't taking my polish off?? It wasn't gel, just a regular nail polish. So what does she do? She just decides she's going to give me a pedicure with the polish on. I was like "wooooo what are you doing?" I suggested that she try acetone nail polish remover & she didn't want to. She just wanted to start pushing my cuticles back & use a fingernail file to try & get my polish off. There was NO way I was going to sit there for this 1/2 "a*s" pedicure so I got up & started to walk out. Of course her co-worker's were looking @ me & her as she was walking behind me. I told them "I'm leaving, she doesn't know what she is doing!" Of course she started talking about me in her language along with her co-workers. I went straight to another nail salon in town & guess what???? They had NO problem taking the polish off my toe nails. I've never been so disgusted with a nail salon as I was in this place. I haven't been back, nor will I & I tell friends's & family not to step foot into this establishment.
