Not the place for me…read more The pedicure was rushed, everything felt like an upcharge (polish removal for toes and hands), and my gel mani was chipping within 3 days. I also have a ton of cuticles that have dried out and are bleeding -- not something I've ever experienced in my 15 years of monthly manucures. Very, very expensive and not worth it.

I stumbled upon this beautiful little shop last year when traveling for work. A friend and I were…read morebrowsing a bit for holiday gifts and were greeted by Jane herself! 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! I would give a million stars if I could!

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.
