So I had to rely on Yelp once again to find a reliable and well reviewed place to get a Brazilian sugar which is always a little nerve-wrecking!

I have also NEVER had someone more invested in providing a precise wax, she got everything and I mean everything! That was so amazing and something I really appreciated. Her prices are extremely affordable + when in VA and needing a clean up, I will absolute be coming to see Gigi! Highly recommended.

I am extremely disappointed with the treatment I received at Koncept Nail Spa and, unfortunately,…read morethis will be my last visit. I arrived around 6:45 p.m. and requested a gel pedicure. I was told to choose a color and wait for the next available nail technician. Once I was seated, I explained the services I wanted, and my nail technician began my pedicure. Not even halfway through my service, the manager came over and asked my nail technician what I was getting. After she explained, the manager turned to me and asked me to pay for my services before they had even been completed. When I asked why I was being required to pay before my service was finished, she told me it was because they were closing and she needed to complete the accounting for the night. Frankly, I don't understand how that became my responsibility. What made the situation even more frustrating was that another customer receiving a pedicure was not asked to pay in advance. When I pointed this out, the manager claimed it was because I had requested gel polish, which would take longer. That explanation didn't make sense, especially since my service had already started. To make matters worse, I offered my American Express card, which the manager refused, stating that their credit card machine no longer accepted American Express. I have successfully used my American Express card at this salon on multiple previous visits. Since I didn't have another physical card with me, I asked if she could bring the card reader so I could tap to pay. She then told me the machine wasn't wireless. As a result, I was forced to Zelle payment before my service was even complete. Even worse, I never received the full pedicure I paid for because the staff rushed to leave for the night. I've been a customer before, but this experience was unprofessional, inconsistent, and left me feeling singled out and inconvenienced. If your business cannot complete services that begin before closing or has policies requiring customers to prepay mid-service, those expectations should be communicated before the service starts--not while a customer is already in the chair. I cannot recommend this salon based on the way I was treated, and I will not be returning.

Pros: My nail tech was very personable, the salon was very nice looking inside, plenty of parking, accept appointments, a variety of nail polishes, and mood changing polish. Cons: I received a gel manicure and four of my nails chipped within two days of getting them done, I did not see them take the tools out of fresh packaging or barbicide, and even with an appointment I was not seen until 30 minutes after my appointment time. (The polish I received was mid changing which is why it's different colors in the picture)

The main woman who may also be the owner is rude and seems to change her prices when she feels like it. I've gotten my hair flat-ironed or curled here a hand full of times, but I stopped spending money with them after I noticed that two people (whom were Ethiopian) came after me and were serviced before me. After that, I would only pay them every once in a while to wash my hair- no blow dry or anything else. It was a $10 fee to get my hair washed. I visited this place yesterday to get my hair washed and was asked if I'm getting a flat-iron and I stated no. When it was time to pay, I was asked if I wanted cash back as well. They usually give cash back to allow people to tip. In my mind, I was already going to tip $5 so I requested that. I was given my receipt and it stated $20. I was confused as to why I was charged $20 when the wash should have been $10 and I only requested $5 cash back. I told the woman that I thought it was $10, and she just said no. I paid the $15 and kept my $5 because I'll be damned if I pay $20 for a hair wash with no blow dry. Now that I think of it, I think the woman added her own tip. In addition to hair services, they also have a barber for mens hair cuts and they do some waxing. If you seen the way the waxing machine looks and you care about sanitation, you may not want use that service. Ambiance: the salon isn't well maintained in the least. It usually smells of burnt hair or a bad perm. There isn't much decor. The seating and other things are screaming for an update. I don't think they have a window to open, so there isn't much air circulation. The bathrooms are usually dirty and the ceiling in there drips when it rains. I've never seen anyone come with an appointment and there is usually only 2 hair stylists, so I believe it is a first come first served situation. You will be here at least 3 hours with how long they take. Your hair will look decent and maybe even beautiful, but I hate that they add product to your finished hair because it makes the style get greasy and stale faster. There is free parking in the parking lot.

Unfortunately, my experience at this salon was extremely disappointing and upsetting With Ely…read more I went in yesterday to get a rubber gel manicure, and I showed the technician exactly what I wanted. My friend was with me, and I even showed the technician my friend's hand as a reference. She confirmed that they had the same color and that she could do it. She started by applying a transparent rubber gel and then the color on top. After the first application, she applied three layers, but I could still clearly see my natural nails underneath the color. The white tips of my nails were very visible, and the color was not what I had asked for. Some of my nails were also not straight and looked bumpy. I pointed this out to her, so she started filing my nails again to redo the service. While filing, she filed into my skin as well, and one of my nails started bleeding. It was painful. She then redid the nails, but unfortunately the result was still not what I asked for. I specifically wanted a milky white color, but the color was different. The nails were still bumpy, the shape was not straight, and I could still see my natural nails underneath the rubber gel. She offered to redo them for a third time, but at that point my nails and skin were already hurting so much, and I was still bleeding. I couldn't go through the same process for a third time. During the service, I also noticed some kind of glue-like residue on my nails. I asked the technician about it because I didn't know where it came from, and she told me it was just oil. However, it did not look or feel like normal nail oil to me. Even after all of this, I still gave a tip because I always appreciate someone's time and effort. When I went to the reception, I noticed that the top coat on one of my nails was already damaged, and another nail was still bleeding. The receptionist asked me to come back so they could redo the nail or remove the product if I wanted. But honestly, after everything I had already gone through, I couldn't understand how I was supposed to go through the process again. My nails had already been worked on multiple times, my skin had been filed until it bled, and I was in pain. I had already given them multiple chances to fix the service. I left the salon extremely upset and ended up crying in my car. I came in expecting to leave with the milky white nails I had specifically requested, but instead I left with painful, uneven nails and a very upsetting experience. The photos I took show the final result. Unfortunately, this was not the quality of service I expected, and I would not return. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously, especially when it comes to protecting the customer's natural nails and skin and listening carefully to what the customer is asking for.

She even points at the woman who she says is, "finishing up". I take a seat and watch the clock, ten minutes go by. I ask again, for them to just let me know realistically how long. She tells me oh it will be just five more minutes your next. Another 8 minutes go by and the woman who is suppose to come to me, goes to a woman at the end of the seats who is also waiting. I speak up and say, "excuse me, how could this have been five minutes when there is someone else who hasn't even started yet?" Three employees looking at each other, speaking their language. No apology, no explanation. They just thought I would sit there for 45 minutes worth of 5 more minutes. I get up and I leave. Still no apology or anything is said to me. I would have been MORE THAN HAPPY TO shop around and come back IF THEY WERE HONEST. Instead I sat staring at people for 20 minutes and was expected to sit thru 30 more mins. Ridiculous

I really had a wonderful experience getting nano combo brows with Simone!…read more This was not my first time getting an ombre brow service. The first place I went to was about 3-4 years ago. Although I had an overall good experience there, when I went for my 18ish month touch up, the owner of that business seemed distracted, didn't really care to listen much and overall the whole service felt like a rushed, assembly line transaction. It's been 18 months since that last touch up, so I was due for one. My brows started to have that washed out look, but I just didn't feel compelled to go back to the original artist (although the color boost would have been much cheaper.)After following Good Brows on social media for a few years, I decided that Simone's work had a softer, more natural look that was much more aligned with my taste. So I inquired and she soon followed up to set up a consultative call after I sent a picture of my brows at present. My appointment was set up on that call, which was about 6 weeks away. I made a non-refundable deposit at that time and then received more pre-appointment instructions the week of my appointment. I must admit, there are a lot of details to read and pay attention to when it comes to policy - which is either a sign of a meticulous and detailed business owner, or potentially someone so particular that flexibility may not be at the forefont when it comes to collaboration. Luckily, all of these details are just so that Simone can maintain a high level of professionalism in running her business and ensuring that her clients receive the standard in care and artistry that they're paying for. On morning of the appointment, I gave myself plenty of time to ensure I wasn't late (there is a $150 rescheduling policy if you're more than 10 mins late.) She texted me right when I was arriving, which was a few minutes early to let me know I could come in if I was waiting, so we were able to start right on time. The studio space is warm and beautiful, adorned with gorgeous art (if you're lucky, she may tell you some stories about the pieces.) She then sat with me to talk about my concerns and interests. She's a good listener - genuine, intentional and collaborative in ensuring that what you like is what she delivers. When asking about how nano strokes might look over time, she was honest with me and level set expectations. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that kind of transparency -it's refreshing. She ended up cleaning up my brows, color correcting and adding a few strokes to the front and I tell you - I feel brand new (even fresh out of the chair, which we all know can feel a bit alarming before the color softens up in the healing process.) Additionally, it was evident through our conversation throughout that Simone is a beautiful human - inside and out. I enjoyed our chat and loved the result of her work. If you're in limbo, I suggest you go for it but have a good sense of what you're looking for. Bring examples of past work that you may like or try to go in with an understanding of the overall aesthetics of what appeals most to you. Simone is an expert, so the quality of the work speaks for itself. I feel relieved that I've found an artist that has an aesthetic of work and level of professionalism that I truly value to return to when needed. Thanks again so much, Simone!
