It had been a while since I had been here. Today I found myself in warm weather with ugly toes. I remembered Lucy at Lisa's. Lucy is just has friendly and chill as I remembered, she also remembered me. She was very careful with my sensitive feet and I so appreciate that! I chose gel pedicure- 50$ I also chose cat eye- 10$ more. I am worth it and I gotta grin every time I look down. So fancy and fun and shiny. Lol Cash only. read more

Clean, friendly, efficient! Basic gel pedi, in and out. I have passed by this salon multiple times and finally decided to stop in for an emergency pedicure. Everything went smoothly, the women are friendly, love that they offer Zelle/venmo, and the whole vibe is very comfortable. Donuts shop next door is also amazing and a great perk! read more

I went for hair cut mani/pedi and brow waxing. Since no customers at all 2 ladies assisted me. The one who my waxing and manicure, she was great but the one who did my pedicure was no clue of what she's doing. First of all her nail polish was old . And she don't know how to cut hair. Family and friends said that my hair cut look like a child did it. I went to another beauty sal9n to fix my hair. Never again step on this shop name Lisa's beauty salon. Pls avoid this place. read more

This is my second time coming to Lisa's Beauty Center for a pedicure. The staff have been soooo friendly both times. I really enjoyed my time in the massage chair getting my toes done. They have a nice variety of polishes to choose from. They also offer hair cutting, waxing and beauty tattoo services too! My manicurist today was Linda, who is super sweet. She took her time to make sure my polish was just right and she gave me a wonderful leg and foot massage! Oh, one warning: they only accept cash!! read more

Love these ladies! They're so sweet and attentive, and do really good work. Highly recommend for quality nails and great conversation.

Rose and Lucy are our go to ladies when my sister and I need to get our haircuts and pedicures done. They are very gentle on my very sensitive toenails. They always can fit us in anytime, and are a pleasure to talk to. Plus the prices are very reasonable! read more

Best manicure I ever had, Lucy is my new go to nail lady.....meticulous work and this makes all the difference. Impressed by watching owner see her customers to the door and thanking them. Highly recommend! read more

Customer service was amazing and super welcoming. Took me in as a walk in for a gel manicure and did such a beautiful job. Can't wait to come back here soon ! read more

I honestly don't want to write this review. But I feel like it is time. I've been coming here for 2 years and Lucy is by far the BEST manicurist I've been to in the 20+ years I've been getting my digits done. I don't want to share her. Girls, you know, it's hard to find someone really good at nails. I've calculated that I've sat 4,000+ hours in a manicurist's chair all over the world: from Hawaii to Brazil to Miami to Mississippi to Tennessee to Washington DC to San Diego to Lamorinda to Martinez... I've been known to pick hotels near a well-rated manicurist while traveling because a girl needs great nails everywhere she goes. Sadly, I've been to eucalyptus-smelling-marble-walled-spas only to get a knick on my nails after a day. ARGH! To me, a GREAT gel manicure has 3 qualities: 1) perfect gaps from cuticle to polish; 2) durability; 3) the personality of the manicurist. Lucy has all three. She is lovely and sweet. Never a bad day. Her gel manicures last, no joke, four weeks. Four full weeks of gardening, cleaning, and all sorts of stuff without gloves. I told her to raise her rates (I KNOW! What was I thinking???) because most gel manicures last two, maybe three. Why does it last so long? I think it's because she puts perfectly thin layers and doesn't rush. My soul urged me to write this post because Lucy is a freak of nail nature. But deep down, I hope you don't go, really. I want to keep Lucy all to myself. -theBubblebathlady read more

Went to get my nails done a week ago and two nails already broke off. Not worth what I paid for. Customer service was great though. read more

After a few times of going to the same place they will begin to take shortcuts or pay less attention to details that made you love the place from the start! My experience was good the first time when I got first set of acrylics! Happy to say they lasted and still looked great for needing a fill! Today I added on eyebrows and I am amazed! No flinching or sting! If you decide to give them a shot ask for Lucy! She's really great! read more

I would give 0 stars if i could. I was looking for something cute and different and i got different all right. I showed a pic of what i wanted and was told she could do it but she was so wrong. She showed me after she was done with 2 mirrors but couldn't see it for till i got home now i can't stop crying I'm so embarrassed and don't know if it could even be fixed. I've never been so unhappy with a hair do in my life. read more

Rushed pedicure. She was irritated because I didn't want the deluxe pedicure. No top coat of clear and bad paint job. She buffed my heels for 5 seconds and 1 minute massage each leg. Pedi and Gel manicure $67.00. I had to redo my own feet. read more

I have been here three times in a row to get gel mani/pedis and all three times, they have not only been very friendly to me, but they've been extremely detailed and done a great job! They care about their work and you can tell they take pride in what they do and they want to make the customers happy. Rose is wonderful to work with! Thank you! I will keep coming! read more

I have followed Rose from salon to salon for many years just because of who she is, so when she told me that my next appointment would be at Lisa's Beauty Center, I was not surprised that she moved again. To my surprise and great happiness, when I arrived, she informed me that her family had bought Lisa's and she and her two sisters would be working there. Rose and her family are some of the finest people I have ever met; caring, considerate, and professional. They always have a smile for their customers and greet them by name when they arrive. The salon itself seems a little outdated but the family plans to update and modernize it as they can, and they started with a fresh coat of paint! I highly recommend Rose and her sisters. I travel some distance out of my way for them. read more

Don't know the name of the person, but my mom had a bad experience there. First she didn't know that they only they only take cash, so when she was looking for cash in her purse she got pretty much yelled at. She took out a $20 and continued to look for more money. Well I guess the employee was inpatient and pretty much yelled at her, saying it's $30! My mom was so humiliated. Never coming back. They need to work in their customer service. read more

This place deserves -5 stars!!! I was beyond disappointed with my experience. I went in for a mani pedi. The tech attempted to clip my cuticles with the nippers she had previously used on my feet. She kept taking calls from her daughter during my service. She did a hack job on my cuticles by over trimming. She used a course file to buff my nails, and to add insult to injury, she asked me to pay for my subpar services before painting my nails even though the two other patrons present got their nails painted without such a rude and racist request! There are ways too many options available to subject yourselves to this treatment. Go elsewhere. read more

honestly they did a decent job but they charge waaay more for a fill than any other place around I am not really sure why?

I have been coming to Lisa's off and on for 4 years now. It is always a joy to come in when Lisa is there. Her customer service is warm and welcoming. She also is very gentile when doing fills and manicures. Unfortunately that's were my love for Lisa's beauty ends. Anyone else who has done my fill has either made me bleed in multiple places or they lifted in a matter of 3 days or were a lumpy mess. The pedicures are sub par. Not much attention to detail with nail polish all over my toes when I leave. The massage is about 5 minutes long but no one seems to even pay attention to what they are doing (talking or looking off) and uses little to no pressure. I believe the owner Lisa tries to make it worth while with hot stones at the end. Unfortunately aside from Lisa, I don't feel that her employees share her same passion for customer service. Since they are the ones providing the service, Lisa's Vision is far for executed on almost all aspects. I continue to go because I live 3 minutes down the road. After my last 2 visits I have decided to search for somewhere else to spend my hard earned money. I usually spend $70 every two weeks (not including tip). I know I can get better service elsewhere with that kind of money. I would give this a 2 star if it wasn't for Lisa's joyful spirit. read more

I'm one to usually pay $35-$50 dollars a cut (nice salon) but as the economy takes it's down turn, salaries aren't what they use to be, it was time for a change. I was seeking cheap but good. I've been to SuperCuts (um never again), I've been to HairClips (um never again), but when Lisa (owner) offered to cut my hair for $15 dollars one day (1yr ago), I was SCARED STRAIGHT I tell ya but I let her cut my hair. You know how the saying goes," you get what you pay for" In most cases this is true but not with Lisa. I got some compliments from that cut... I soon realized that it wasn't bad and it was worth going back. I started out only getting my eyebrows waxed her for $10 dollars. Lisa does a good job. Now I have her cut my hair. I'm on a budget and boy do I save. Here's the trick - ONLY GO TO LISA! She cuts and styles for $15 bucks. Bring a picture so she has an idea of what you want. Don't go to any of the other ladies...especially the grandma stylists (not sure about their technique - ya feel me?). You want to come out of there looking like 2009 not 1959. Want an aesthetically pleasing environment? don't come here. If you are into cheap but does the trick - Lisa's your gal. read more

Terrible place. They do a crappy job at Mani's and Pedi's. I got highlights one time and they turned my roots orange and the highlights were splotchy. I went back to get it fixed and they tried to dye my hair a solid color and they turned my hair burnt orange with tons of splotchy circles. & my son's first haircut was so crooked I had to go somewhere else to get it fixed. They purely do not know what they are doing. read more

I went this last Saturday to get a mani/pedi and ended up with Linda. She was absolutely wonderful and respectful. The pedicure was on point. I was less than pleased with the people I saw leaving the place. These people were rude, and it was pretty apparent like treating people in the service industry poorly. If you want a 12 dollar manicure and are upset with the results then go to a beauty school. I walked in right before they closed and they were kind enough to take me, which they didn't have to do. The shop itself is run down a wee bit, but it's cleaner than a lot of the fancy nail shops I've been too. The nail polish I originally had chosen was old, and Linda didn't like it so I told her to go ahead and pick a color. She picked a really pretty coral, and then added cute little flowers on my big toe. It was very sweet of her to dot that, and she was so excited about getting to do fabulous nails which by the impression I got was that's something that she doesn't get to do very often. When you look at this woman's hands, you know she's been doing nails for a very long time. We had a great chat, and she really gets through it. The experience of her was more than enough for me to go back, she does good work, but I believe it took someone coming in that showed her the mutual respect she deserves as a person to get it. Be nice to the people that perform services for you. Yeah they don't speak the greatest English, but they are by no means stupid or incapable. Plus you always tip well, they are literally scrubbing your feet and dealing with your nasty cuticles, don't be a jerk. read more

just wanted to show you all what a nightmare this has turned into. I will never go back. No one from the salon even showed that they were concerned on bit. read more

This was my first time having a manicure at Lisa's; my friend highly recommended Lisa, and I was not disappointed. I wanted to do something outside of my comfort zone and came with an idea and photos; Lisa brought my idea to life. :) I wanted to enjoy the sunflowers myself, so I had her put them on my thumbs. Lovely read more

Well, I read all the bad reviews & it makes me sad. I've had nothing but fab pedis & so have my elderly parents, who can't really take care of their toenails/feet anymore. I go to Van (pronounced Vonn) & she is amazing! I had 2 issues with my toenails & since I've been going to Lisa's, my toenails look & feel great. She knows what she's doing & is very sweet. I get the pedi with sugar scrub & hot stones...oh boy, what a treat. Van knows how to give a massage & does a great job. Lisa's is clean, friendly & reasonably priced. I live close so it's convenient. I previously went to a salon that ruined my nails & I believe was unsanitary, incompetent & should be closed. I won't leave Lisa's or Van. They are wonderful. read more

I must say, I am appalled at what Lisa's shop has become. I used to be a regular with Lisa as my go-to nail tech. I was always happy with the fast customer service, inexpensive costs, and well-done nails. All of that has gone straight out the window. I went there for Mother's Day to get a fill and pedicure. I made an appointment for 9:15. I arrived on time and my pedicure was started. The water was far too hot as if they assumed black people's skin couldn't feel the hot water as much. I had to tell her to turn the water down twice. My pedicure experience was terrible. There were none of the usual amenities. No water conditioning, no soap, no scrubbing, no hot rocks, NOTHING. I was given an extremely barebones pedicure and was very much mistreated, especially for the astronomical price they charged me. They then started on my manicure and got dust all over my clothes. They didn't even give me a towel to cover them. My black pants were dusty and cheap-looking after that. Then the manicure came. Halfway through my manicure, the woman stopped doing them to service a white lady walk in. Keep in mind I had an appointment. The manicure was lumpy and looked unfinished. She didn't push back my cuticles and as a result, my nails look like they are a week old the next day! The whole process was a nightmare, I tried to complain and they acted as though they didn't understand English until it came down to the money. Last time I came for the same job I was charged $50. This time however without informing me of the price beforehand even though I kept asking, and she said "don't worry about it", the price came out to $95. I was shocked and asked her why didn't she tell me about the price change earlier. I paid and left at 1:15, 4 hours after my appointment started!!! I am never going there again, especially with the terrible following of COVID guidelines right now, with no plexiglass separating the customer and the nail tech. If you decide to go, don't say I didn't warn you. read more

I had an excellent gel manicure here. She took her time and my nails were shiny for weeks. They are always very friendly also.

I definitely recommend this place for a hair cut. Great price and they except walk ins. Danny did such a wonderful job cutting my hair. He listened to what I wanted and asked me if I liked my hair every step of the way. If I could I would give him 10 stars. I can't wait to go back! read more

I come to Lisa's to get manicures, pedicures and my eyebrows waxed. They are very clean, friendly, and efficient. Very comfortable spa chairs and the ladies really take time to make sure you get what you want. I am pretty particular about my eyebrows so I make sure to call ahead to insure Lisa herself is there. She is FABULOUS! Nicest lady ever. Knows me by name and I always get greeted with a smile by her staff. Really good prices too. Can't beat a mani/pedi for $30. Its not the fanciest salon around, but its great. I've gotten a really great hair cut there too. Definitely check out Lisa's. read more
