We were so happy with our experience with Melanie. She was so friendly and down to earth. She was so easy to talk to and really listened to what I asked for. We had a great "hair trial run" and I loved my hair. It turned out exactly the same for the day of and I was thrilled. My hair held the whole night and I loved it. My mom also got her hair done for the wedding and we were both so impressed. It is a very small, personal salon that was clean, quiet and professional. I would highly recommend Melanie from Serendipity for wedding hair or any type of hair cut/color. She was fabulous!

You feel so great after spending time in it.

They said she'd be right with me when she was done with the other customer that she took 10 minutes before my appointment .

If I was late 20 minutes to my appointment they would never take me so on to a new nail place . Oh and they lost my mother's business.

I love how many different styles we've done and they all come out great. I started coming to see him because my fine hair always looks best with a razor cut, but it's hard to find stylists comfortable and skilled with a razor. Now, I feel comfortable bringing any style request to Hans and he always gives me something great. And if my hair isn't suited to the style, he'll tell me!

Extremely Disappointed…read more A Salon is as good as their Stylists. I have had my Stylist for over 13 years and I have followed her blindly and always will. I'm SUPER proud of Suzanna, she's now opened her new lil Studio in San Marcos and we are more than happy to support her on her new adventure. The reason I'm giving Che Bangs 1 star is because of how I was falsely given information about her availability by the actual Owner of the establishment, very disappointing as I also found out from other clients I referred to her where also having the same issue. For those of you who've had Suzanna as their Stylist or loved her work, I've attached a picture of her Business Card.

I've been going to Mimi since before she had her own shop up here in Valley Center. The few times I've tried someone else, my fingers hurt for 3 days after, or my cuticles were bleeding. Mimi has the touch, she knows that no two people are the same. She also uses nothing but the highest quality products. read more

Having a non-toxic salon is really important to me, and after experiencing Prestige, I can't imagine going back to a traditional nail salon.

I'm always impressed by how much they remember about their clients and the little details that make each visit feel so personal. I highly recommend Prestige Nails!

The pictures alone will let you know the quality you'll get. The lady I assume owner is nice. There was a bit of pain when she was cutting my nails. I did a regular pedi with white. It's decent. Passable. The 2nd issue was when paying. As soon as I took my card out she said "no cash" I said no. She asked "no cash for tip" also a no. She then said $25. I was staring at the prices and it said $18. I then asked her it says $18 here and she said ohh callus remover (I never asked for it) , which I then responded to by saying "that still makes it $23 not $25". I told her to charge $25. $2 tip or she charged what she wanted but no tip. Take it how you want. Her attitude instantly changed. Please don't spend your $ here. There is no peaceful, calm, relaxed vibe to it. Overall I can't see anyone having a great experience here.

Everything is super clean ...she sanitizes all her tools (which honestly isn't the case everywhere). I had bad ingrown nails on both big toes, and she removed them the right way!

She has tons of experience, and she's super flexible with scheduling. You can book a week ahead or just a few days out. Highly recommend her! She is not open on Sundays. It is dog friendly.
