Long story short:
They're friendly but there are a few technicians that provide poor customer service, and I wouldn't suggest this place for a group of 2+ people. Also, keep in mind, don't go on Sundays or make appointments on Sundays because they will only provide a max of 1-hour service or else they'll rush you out of there in a friendly way, so don't have designs in mind and go as simple as possible. We didn't feel like they were attentive for the services that we told them, and we didn't feel like they were cleaning after each client. We're never coming back.
The two nail designs I attached are from Pinterest. No, they didn't give my sister the design.
Be aware, for most nail salons, for an "acrylic set", they usually don't charge length unless they're super long, but Luxe charge length and shape no matter if you're wanting short tips. I believe it was $5 per service, and $5/nail for designs. Make sure to always ask questions when they suggest gel, length, shapes, design, and etc. because they can overcharge you.
Why the 1 star? My review is super long so please bare with me. We are honestly disappointed.
My friend called Thursday to schedule an appointment at 12pm. The guy who scheduled us gave my friend an off vibe but we were trying to be positive of the situation since we wanted to celebrate my birthday here. When we got there, the guy in the front seemed nice at first, but he told my sister he couldn't do the two designs she suggested for her acrylics because he said he was slow at creating designs, and that he didn't have time to do it. He didn't even try to suggest designs for her to choose.
We did take about 5 minutes to find our colors, and I asked my sister and friend to help me choose a color, but the same front guy rushed my friend and sister to sit down because they began to have walk-ins, but they also told some people to come back later. Keep in mind that my friend did ask them if they had enough staff to do three people, and she told them what services we wanted. He was hesitant when he told her that they did.
I decided to pick a random color because he rushed my two gals, so I was done with him.
I walked toward the receptionist and told her that I was ready, and she walked me half way to the pedicure area. I was so lost because she didn't tell me where to sit. Keep in mind it was my first time coming to this nail salon. She didn't bring me water when she asked me. She pointed to the side from a distance and told me there was a massage remote and it took me a minute or three to find it. Honestly, it didn't look she wanted to be there.
The tech who did my pedi and mani did provide a nice customer service. I got regular polish for both. He did asked if I wanted gel or another color. I didn't feel like he was rushing me out. If I had to suggest a technician for someone's first time, then I'd suggest him. I would've prefer the tech to give me instruction as he finished up, because there wasn't any communication to do after he was done. He went to go sit down with another customer when my nails were drying, and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do next. I didn't know if he was going to come back and check my nails to make sure they were dried, and then check us out at the front. Keep in mind it's our first time here. We were sitting there for about 25 minutes, and I told my friend that I was ready to leave because they didn't come back and check on us. It seemed like they were going to make us sit in there forever.
We grabbed the receptionist and told her we were ready to pay, and she grabbed the front guy to take our payment.
Overall, we appreciate the effort but we had the poorest service today.
Response/Update:
After reading Steve P.'s response I'll just say this. We're not mad at your technicians we're just disappointed with the service that we received. If you guys believe it was our fault for taking a long time to find our colors, then you guys should've helped us out. It's our first time here, and y'all do it different from other nail salons.
They normally have us sit down with our tech and they'll ask about our ideas and colors. My sister had the designs already, but your tech never asked her about it. She didn't know when to show it to you guys until y'all sat her down. Keep in mind, we did tell y'all that she wanted the acrylic set with design when y'all scheduled us, so y'all knew ahead of time. Honestly, if there is a time limit to choose colors, designs, and etc. then y'all need to emphasize it on y'all website, when y'all schedule people, and in the store.
Overall, I appreciate how quickly you responded to my review. I'm also glad to know you'll have more staff soon. Thanks. read more
