    This place hands down in the best nail salon I have ever been to. Yea you may have to wait a bit even with an appointment but they do not disappoint. I drive pretty far to come here because the service is on point, price is unbeatable, my nails are always done perfect, I get 4-5 weeks out of them even working with my hands and they are always kind and listen to what you want. They are honest too if they cannot do something but will work with you to make sure you get something you love- that's super important to me because I can't tell you how many times I've walked into a salon and they say they can do it, charge an obnoxious amount and your nails are chipped the next day. I've watched so many people in and out of this salon and they really know how to keep up with a large crowd! Thank you so much for the amazing manis and pedis!

    I was not a fan of this nail shop. I decided to visit based on the reviews and the close proximity to where I was staying. When I arrived it was pretty crowded so I figured they must be quality! Meh.. not so much. First my technician could not get my nail shape correct. Even after I showed her several pictures of how I had my nails done previously (I was only in town visiting my folks so my normal nail shop was not an option). Unfortunately she filed them incredibly short and since they were acrylics there was no easy fix unless I wanted to get a new set. Then when it came to paying she attempted to sneak in a charge that wasn't previously discussed or listed. Something about the polish I chose? Despite the poor experience I left and figured you win some you lose some. BUT THEN my nails started to chip a few days later. I've never had acrylic nails with a gel polish overlay chip. And certainly not within a week! I was very very disappointed and felt like I wasted my money. Maybe it was the technician, the day, the service, the polish... idk. But I recommend searching elsewhere for nail services. The only reason for the 2 stars is that they were following COVID protocols.

    Kelvin did a great job on my no chip French Manicure, I had to have my nails cut down since I had a couple chipped nails but still turned out good. Reminder tips are cash only or Venmo

    Recently moved to the area and was looking for a new spa home. I called an hr before to ask if they took walk-ins. The representative on the phone stated they do not and inquire what I was looking to get. I stated a no chip manicure and pedicure. The representative then informed me that they could take me at 4pm. I arrived and the place was packed. I was greeted and informed them of my appointment. The representative asked me to remind them of what I was getting again and then asked me to pick a color. They do not have a huge color selection but I was able to find something to put me in the New Year mood. I was seated at 4:20 and sat with my feet in the water for 15 mins before someone came over to assist me with an overlay over two of my toes. After that was complete, my feet sat in the water for another 15 mins unattend. In the end, the outcome of my service was great. However, the time I spent idle was not worth it for me.

    After my third trip to this salon because of my nails separating from the dip powder and one shattering... it hasn't even lasted a week.

    I got my nails done on a Thursday, by Saturday night I could see my nails were separating from the tips. They were closed for a holiday Sunday and Monday, so I went in Tuesday and after the offered to just file away the area that is separating, or glue it down I suggested a whole new set as 6 nails had separated, and one nail had shattered. Got a new set. I had to go back 2 days later because they were separating AGAIN. This time I asked for my money back, which the manager refused. She glued my tips down and tried to tell me not to pick at my nails. That's not what I've been doing, and my nails have never had this issue at my regular nail salon. If they were done well, They shouldn't be able to be separated. Before the weekend was over my nails were separating and whatever glue she used was long gone. Here I am 6 days after my new set with one nail that had separated away, real nail broke off a few days ago, now the dip has broken... and as you can see my thumb has a small chip on the side. My middle finger does as well. Maybe some of the products went bad, or the nail tech is newer, but the manager's attempt to blame me, then her refusal to return my money just doesn't sit right with me.

    I have been coming to this location for 4 years! Maybe even more. I have NEVER had a bad experience. I appreciate how friendly the staff is and the fact that I can make my appointment within days notice. I go Vy or Nancy for my full sets! They last so long and always so precise. I never leave without getting compliments. I highly recommend!

    Got my nails done Saturday. First thing worth mentioning- they don't honor appointments. I scheduled my appointment the day before and they still had me wait a half an hour before anyone even checked on me. Not the first time.... Magic Nails is always packed and can't handle the volume of customers. I was passed off between THREE separate nail techs to do a simple one-color, no-chip manicure. And look- it's Monday evening, just two days later, and the polish is peeling. It didn't even look good intact. There are indents and lumps all over them, and my nails were filed unevenly because the tech who did the filing was ANSWERING PHONES while working with me!!! I spent WAY too much money on this.

    I've given this place a few tries over the last year, but after my experience earlier this week I don't think I'll ever be back. I made an appointment after work mid-week to soak my gel nails off, but ended up waiting 15-25 mins past my appointment time before I was helped. I had 3 different techs work on me at one point or another (I get it's busy, but you really can't dedicate a whole 10 minutes to me?) but the last one absolutely destroyed my nails. After the gel polish had soaked off, instead of using a bamboo stick or other tool to gently scrape the polish off, he used an emery board (not a buffing block) to file the loose polish off of my fingernails, filing directly onto my nail bed and leaving harsh, visible scratches on the surface of my nail. After basically shredding my nails, I washed my hands and sat back down at the table assuming he was going to buff out the scratches. My nail tech then returned to tell me we were done and that I needed to pay, and I asked if that was really all; my nails were still incredibly tough and there were remnant bits of polish on the sides that I was scraping off myself. He sat back down, offered to re-soak my nails with acetone (which would've just irritated my nails, not reduced the unevenness), and then told me the texture was just my natural nail. After offering to re-soak again, I asked if he could buff my nails and got a half-hearted shrug in response. I ended up getting up and paying, but wish I had pushed him more to fix my nails. I paid to remove my gel polish because I didn't want to damage my nails, but ended up in worse shape than if I did it at home.

You can book online which is also super easy and much appreciated! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I had the Oat Milk And Brown Sugar Pedicure: Purifying soak baths to cleanse and soothe the skin. A detox masque to cleanse the skin of impurities, excess oil, and toxins. A gentle exfoliation using our sugar scrub. Callus treatment to smooth rough patches. Steam massage to relax muscles and enhance circulation. Warm towel wrap and paraffin wax treatment will melt away your worries and soothe your tired feet. I highly recommend this one. They scrub my legs with actual oranges and milk. It was really nice! I also really like getting calluses removed and the paraffin wax. My only complaint is I wanted a little bit more done with the callus removal. Next time I will just tell them that. The massage chairs are excellent. Overall, I'm happy with my pedicure and it was a very relaxing experience. I will be back!

Now, Im super particular about my nails and my nail tech Jessica had the patience of a saint. Told me to my face that what I wanted was a waste of money and she was 100 percent correct. We ended up doing something super cute and very me. The prices are so reasonable. Again.. I'm from the over priced hell hole that is NY where a Gel X manicure easily 150 dollars.. the entire serve plus tip was 140. Thats a manicure, spa pedicure and tip. If I'm ever in the area again, you'll know here to find me.

I used to go to Pink in Bloomingdale and loved it but I moved. I don't know if all salons do this but Asha has "levels" of stylists. If you get an intern, which I did, a haircut is only $20. And educator is with the intern every step of the and when your hair done, the educator refines is while teaching the intern. My intern was Claire. She was unbelievable. I showed her and the educator some pics I collected and they started talking shop. It was almost a different language. Wow. Even the way she stands, literally, the way Claire was standing makes a difference, I guess with the wrists. Claire explained what she was doing, really friendly, easy to talk to, very enthusiastic, the time flew by. I felt kind of special because I helped her learn a new technique that was relatively complicated. If you can get an intern to do your hair, jump on it. For $20? And an educator is right there, wow. Ok, so much for my first yelp review, or maybe I wrote a review years ago, not sure. Oh, and Asha is an Aveda salon so all the products smell amazing.
