I tried this place spur of the moment when my regular salon was not available. I called ahead and…read morethey were able to fit me in within the next 15 minutes for no chip manicure. Score. Entrance: The first impression was very positive. As it was super cold outside, I appreciated that they have a double entrance, conserving the warmth inside. I checked in at the front desk and chose my color (they have a nice selection). The manicurist took my coat and hung it for me, which was a nice touch. Procedure: The mani itself was good and fairly standard, except the paraffin dip, which again was a nice added feature considering the cold winter destroying my hands like crazy. Included massage: The hand massage and shoulder massage lasted longer than at any salon that I have tried before. And it was great as well. Price: I believe the prices compare well with the salons in the area, but I am not absolutely positive. If the prices at this salon are higher, I don't think it is by much. In the days after: The result was of good quality and lasted long time, the polish did not chip and it did not lift at the edges. Cell phone policy: they have polite signs posted asking customers not to use cell phones while in the salon. Payment: they take credit cards and you can add the tip to the card as well.

I liked that there was pop music playing quietly and the TVs had captions on but not sound. Their space is also offered for parties. I liked that there were free samples of cuticle oil, candy, drying spray on the drying table. Overall very nice and professional -- I just received a $5 off coupon by email so I will probably go back. Minus 1 star -- 2 of my nails are quite rough after one day and I will need to cut them. Small chip after one day.

I mean, it's just peeling off... wtf did I pay $70 for?!

Spa Dabin

A friend of mine texted and asked if I wanted to join her for a pedicure on a Saturday afternoon…read more The answer to that question is always yes, so she gave me the name of Spa Dabin and I called to schedule an appointment at the same time as hers. Tucked away in a small strip mall, I'd never seen or heard of Spa Dabin before, but I'm so glad my friend knew of it! She used to frequent their location in Old Town before moving to the suburbs. This location is a bit on the smaller side and the layout felt a little peculiar. We were greeted warmly and given our choice of aromatherapy options for the pedicure. They had a great selection of colors in all of the standard brands. The pedicure itself was great - very relaxing and the woman who did mine went above and beyond to remove some calluses. The pedicure seats are across from a tv but if the volume was on at all, it wasn't noticeable. We were easily able to hold a conversation. When we moved to the dryers, we each got a quick but very nice neck and shoulder massage. Pricing was comparable to other nail salons in the area, and I appreciated being able to tip right from Venmo.

Good professional and friendly service. Attention to detail. Ease of scheduling appointments.read more

Studio S

The best experience!…read more They day before going to studio s I spent too much money on a dip manicure at a different salon... it was terrible. The color was not solid, the tech tried to fix one with a normal nail polish, and the dip was in my cuticles on some nails. I scheduled an appointment at studio s to have it taken off and re-done. Because my nails were just clipped and filed the day before, she charged me at a reduced rate and was the most kind & attentive technician I've ever had. A great establishment with great people. I will most definitely be back!

They typically do very well at match mart and Marianne takes great care in ensuring my nail beds never got compromised during removal. Unfortunately this is not the standard for all salons. Whoever helped me exclusively used a drill, I am assuming because she wanted to save time. I had to tell her multiple times that my nail bed was getting too hot and even jumped in pain. Only once ever did I get a removal service like this elsewhere and I never went back - unfortunately I won't be back at this location either. Two weeks later and my nails are still splitting as the grow up and in incredible pain. In short, It took me weeks and weeks to grow my nails out and now I have to start from square -10. This is hurts like crazy, I told the lady she was drilling too much and she said "that's what she had to do". This is just unacceptable.

It's a bit nondescript from the outside, no signage, although the logo is on the door. It's striking and different inside -- lots of black and plants, botanical plant mural on the wall. It seems quite spacious, although I was the only customer (best for last?). I've been looking specifically for dazzle dry manicures around the area, and that's how I found Legen--wait for it--dary, and I booked online. They did reschedule my appointment because the original nail tech couldn't do DD. Gulzat handled my manicure and did a very nice job, we talked about perfumes (Baccarat Rouge, she complimented me), she offered me a drink, changed up the color when I asked for more sparkle, and did a neat and clean job, nice cuticles. The manicure was a bit more compared to the other salons I've been to recently, and my hands were dry (no lotion). There are other beauty services offered at Legen--I'm allergic to--dary, so I might check them out. All jokes aside, I think my manicure at Legendary was nicely done. I'll come back to Legen--wait for it--

GMM NAILS

Very quiet salon on a side street in downtown HP. As many times as I've been down this street, I…read moredid not notice it. Perhaps because the name GMM Nails is kind of generic. Anyway, I sought out this salon because they offer dazzle dry (I searched for locations on Yelp). I was the only customer on a snowy evening, and Laura gave me a nice manicure, and even, unexpectedly, a shoulder massage. There were not a lot of colors to choose from, although I appreciated the quick neat job. Two days later though, one of my nails had a very rough edge and the nail chipped off. (Dazzle dry is supposed to last 7-10 days). I did have an overall good experience and will come back another time I need a dazzle dry mani.

Had a last minute dazzle dry mani pedi. Great job, has lasted weeks, quiet serene atmosphere.read more
