She ripped off a chunk of wax and immediately blurted out, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" Sorry for what, exactly? For ripping off half my eyebrow. Instead of trying to fix her mistake or even out the other side, she rushed off to the front desk and left me sitting there. I walked out with two uneven brows, one missing a huge chunk--and as compensation, they knocked $5 off my total. $5. For an eyebrow I'll be filling in and waiting weeks to grow back. Not what I paid for, and not okay.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Devine Nail Spa in Haymarket, and I absolutely…read morewill not be returning. Before coming into the salon, I called specifically to ask about pricing. I was quoted $50 for a full set and an additional $10 for French tips. Based on the prices I was given directly by the salon, I decided to bring my daughter with me. My daughter wanted French tips, while I wanted a cat-eye design. Once we were actually in the salon, however, the pricing and service were completely different from what I had been told over the phone. My nail technician was Kevin. While Kevin was doing my nails, I specifically told him that I did not like how they looked and wanted them changed. Instead of listening to my concerns and correcting something I was clearly unhappy with, he refused to change them. Despite me expressing that I did not like my nails, I was still charged $90 for my set. My daughter was charged $82, and she DID NOT even receive the French tips she originally wanted. When I questioned the pricing, I reminded them that I had specifically called before coming in and was quoted only $10 additional for French tips. I was then told that the French tips my daughter wanted were somehow "special" and that her nails would have been approximately $100 if she had gotten them. That explanation made absolutely no sense to me. If there are different types of French tips that can turn a $50 full set into approximately a $100 service, that should have been clearly explained when I called and specifically asked about pricing. A customer should not be quoted one price over the phone and then encounter completely different pricing once the service is being performed. What made the situation even more uncomfortable for me is that I am a Black woman. I cannot say with certainty what motivated the difference in treatment, but after being quoted one price over the phone and then being treated and charged so differently once my daughter and I arrived, I genuinely left questioning whether our race played a role in how we were treated and priced. No customer should ever leave a business feeling that way. My problem is not simply that the salon is expensive. A business has every right to establish its own prices. My problem is the lack of transparency, poor customer service, refusal to listen to a paying customer, and unexplained difference between the prices I was quoted and what I was actually charged. Between the two of us, I paid $172 -- $90 for my nails and $82 for my daughter's. My daughter didn't even receive the French tips she originally wanted, and I left with nails that I specifically told Kevin I did not like and asked him to change. I have attached photos of the finished nails, so anyone reading this review can judge the work for themselves. Do these look like two sets of nails you would expect to pay $82 and $90 for? Because I certainly do not believe the finished results reflect those prices -- especially considering what I was originally quoted. I DO NOT recommend Devine Nail Spa. If you would like to waste your money and potentially leave feeling frustrated and unheard, then this may be the place for you. But if you are looking for a reputable nail salon that provides great customer service, is transparent about its pricing, respects its clients, and actually listens when a customer expresses dissatisfaction with a service they are paying for, I strongly suggest finding another establishment. There are too many nail salons in the area to spend your hard-earned money somewhere that leaves you feeling overcharged, disregarded, and questioning whether you were treated fairly. Look at the attached photos and decide for yourself whether this looks like $172 worth of nail services. I certainly will be taking my business elsewhere.

Eyelash extensions, Facials & Permanent Makeup Ladies, you MUST book an appointment with Eve at The Beauty Effect located in Haymarket, VA. I wanted to take the plunge into permanent makeup by getting my eyebrows done. I'm 60 years old and my brows just seemed to be disappearing into my face. And I'm grateful that Eve was the technician that I chose! She took her time in educating me on the different options for permanent eyebrow makeup and patiently answered all my questions. I decide on Ombre brows and WOW!!! First of all the shade and shape are PERFECT and I look ten years younger (a benefit that I wasn't expecting at all!). Eve is a true professional and The Beauty Effect salon is quaint, warm and beautifully appointed. Honestly, I'm SO thrilled that I want to tell as many gals as possible so that you too can have the same incredible experience that I had! You deserve it girl

Tho I Ioooove the customer service and work the ladies do in Tyson, it just isn't financially in my budget, let alone NEAR me to keep going. With that being said, the atmosphere, with Simply Beauty, was great. This is an "in home" service but she has a private room to do her magic. I loved her music choice, too. Price is absolutely affordable for a working Mom like me. And really anybody with the quality work she provides! It's a steal really. Experience was a little different than I'm use to. She did do things a little differently but the outcome was amazing. The tape on my bottom lashes could have been a wee bit gentler coming off but the outcome was too amazing to complain. All and all Samantha is a lovely lady who does AMAZING work without ripping people off. I feel beautiful and confident to recommend people in the Gainesville, and nearby area, to go to her. I can't wait until me two week refill. Note: This is the first appointment and lashes I've gotten from her so I'll update on them as I wear them throughout the week.

It is extremely clean inside and the atmosphere is definitely what I was looking for. I am from Louisiana, so I was glad to find a nice poshy salon with that small town country feel. Comfortable middle. Not too upscale to include prices and friendly service. This was my first time with B&B products and my friend swears by them, but I am pretty picky on products. No issues though with B&B and my hair didn't feel like I had a lot of product in it which is my biggest complaint.

I have been going to Tranquility for about a year now for cuts and color, and I have never had a…read moremore positive experience at a salon. Prior to going into this salon, I had lost faith in stylists after a number of bad haircuts and color jobs from multiple salons (both upscale and the less pricey mall salons). I actually started coloring my hair myself with those DIY box color kits, so I had quite a mess to try to correct when I made my initial apt. The stylist was clean, professional, polite, and up front about everything including the charges to make sure I'd be OK with the plan and the price. Several months later, my hair looks the best it ever has, and I get complements several times a week. Bottom line, I've got difficult hair and somehow, my stylist manages to make it look great for weeks. This is a feat that hasn't been successfully done in many years, so my hat is off to my stylist. She clearly knows what she's doing. I've never waited more than 15 minutes to start my appointment, and they're very generous in putting out beverages and snacks (including delicious cupcakes from the bakery down stairs) for anyone waiting. I will agree that on one occasion, my stylist was busy with another client and my blow out was finished by the assistant, but I believe this happened because they were trying to accommodate another client who came in with some major hair issues that needed immediate attention. It worked out fine, and my hair still looked great. They also don't pressure me to buy expensive products, and I really appreciate that. I'm not one who enjoys paying major $$ for extra expensive frills and fancy at a salon, but tranquility manages to keep an upscale appearance and environment without going over the line into pretentiousness. All-comers are welcome. I've had no experience with their mani/pedi or massage services, so I can't comment on those. As a small aside, this salon also seems to do a lot to give back in the community, and I really appreciate that about them as well. I agree with the review stating that it's inconvenient not to put tips on the credit card when paying, but I just charge the price then write a check for the tip. It's an extra step, but it's minor.
