Incredibly Slow with a messy outcome. It is understood that salons may run late and when I arrived for my scheduled appt, I was left waiting for 15 mins before anyone started on prepping my nails to soak. However, others came in and were assisted while I sat and waited. I could've been soaking my polish off while another got a massage and another walk-in after me got started on a pedicure. So ok, but then my powder dip nail change took an hour and 35 mins which if you know, shouldn't take more than 45-60mins. No repairs needed. And after such a long time, it was messy work. I've been unhappy at Minerva before (painful pedicure, cut cuticles) but keep giving them the benefit of the doubt. Today was my last visit.

This is my second review on Yuki, but she really is one of the best. She takes her time and it shows!

Regular pedicure

Rosa did my nails and they were literally perfect. I've never had a better experience. The shape and color was exactly what I asked for and she really took her time to make sure they were perfect! I'm so grateful. Also Vicky who did my toenails was amazing too! The massage was incredible and she did a great job. So happy!

Modern French

Thank you Rosa!! Each time I see Rosa I leave happy.. she works quick, she is efficient, and she does a great job at bringing my design inspiration to life. Thank you!!!!

I just realized I haven't updated my review. They have been devoting more time to clients and doesn't matter if their busy or not. Complimentary massages for hands and feet. Then while drying complimentary back massages! You can't beat that deal! I've been to other places where they charge extra. Just remember to tip! It's free so it's the least one can do. After going to many places no one can top Minerva's!

What I got

I'm only giving 3 starts because they normally do a really good job but I haven't been agreeing with their prices lately, as they charge you for every little thing. The one picture is what I asked for VS picture in my car is what I left with. I get it I should've said something before I left but I'm not the kind of person to bother anyone. I called up the next day and asked if I could change the color because I hated it so much and he told me it would be AN EXTRA $25 just to change the color. Mind you, I paid $80 for the set of nails... I've been going here for so long now but the prices are just ridiculous. For reference: I got almond shape acrylics (although they're short) with chrome polish on top. (Excuse my name it's my husbands account).

$50 "dip powder". Equivalent to a pair of drug store nails if even. Those r prob better.

I seen this place on deer park avenue so many times always wanted to go. It was recommended by a tattoo artist. I will recommended anyone who wants their feet to be massaged right go to Bianca. She has magic is her hands. Place was clean very serene. Prices were pretty reasonable. Greeter was a bit unpleasant but Bianca made up for it. I will be going back again.

I paid 20 dollars for this....

Normally I'm not the person to get on yelp and write a bad review but this made me upset. I just moved in the area a few months ago & have been using this place as my nail spot. I loved it for awhile but recently I've been noticing them being sneaky with pricing. I walked in with UV Gel extensions and asked if they'd take it off for me (just because I don't trust myself doing it). There was no bad reason for me taking them off I just am too busy to keep up with the fill ins. They soaked my nails four times with nail polish remover, they did this for so long that my fingers got pruney. She drilled my nail down WAY too hard to the point where I had to pull my hand away at one point. She then filed my nails and cut them once the acrylics were "off" (they just drilled it down you can still see them). She then informed me that being that she filed and cut them I'd have to pay an extra 5. (Was not aware of this extra until she finished). I wasn't charged last time I came in for this. I wasn't gonna go without paying I bought $20 for tip because I knew I'd be wasting time which I already felt bad about. I was sent out with my nails like this and charged 20 dollars and still have to give a tip (which I ended up having to put on card). No lotion on my hands no cuticle oil, nothing. I have been coming here since I moved but that is the last service they will receive from me....any recommendations on new places ?????

So sloppy

my appointment was booked with Laura THIS TOOK 3 hours. I don't know where to begin. I'll include a photo of what the manicure was supposed to resemble. I asked for a deep French acrylic, manicure with chrome and a few gems. my appointment was booked with Laura. I don't know where to begin. I'll include a photo of what the manicure was supposed to resemble. I asked for a deep French acrylic, manicure with chrome and a few gems. Sculpted manicure but she wouldn't do it because they break easily. instead of communicating that she just started doing regular dip powder acrylic so I had to ask several times why I wasn't receiving the service that I booked then when it came time for the length, she asked me at the same time if she cuts one of the nails, how long did I want the nail? I typically like my nails very long, so I just had to deal with a shorter length because she already cut it before she finished asking. When you do chrome nails you typically start with polish to get the shape first and then you go in with the blunt eyeshadow tool to rub in the chrome pigment. She did the French shape with the blunt eyeshadow tool and she's complaining that it was difficult the whole time. Then a regular of theirs comes in and ask for a very basic pink nail polish color and she starts on her nails when none of my gems, or anything had been added. when I mentioned For a fourth time that I want it gems on my now she quickly got up out of her seat from the other woman said she didnt know I wanted gems & did my gems in about three minutes for both hands. finished with me and continue to do her other client so overall just extremely sloppy job and not worth 96 Dollars. She should have fished my mails before she moved on the other person is nails took 5 min. VERY DISAPPOINTED Update my thumbnail broke off it's only been 20 mins. My set was redone and improved

Couldn't be happier with the job Christy did on my nails today!

I've been to many eyelash extension places over the years. Judy is by far the best value for your…read moremoney. She is friendly, fast, and does not rip you off. She never complains or charges extra when you come in 'bald'. I look so good when I leave - I almost don't want to post this review because I don't want to have trouble getting an appointment.

After months of getting lashes done by Judy at Beauty by Judy, figured it would be a good time to…read morewrite a review of her handiwork. Considering that I keep coming back every 2-3 weeks for my fills, well...that should say a lot to prove how much I love my lashes! I have in the past had individual lashes put on and it took a long time, hours, for them to be properly applied but the result was usually gorgeous. Trouble was, I couldn't keep up with the maintenance and life got in the way and I stopped getting them done. Cut to 2 years later. Summer of 2016. My natural lashes are more and more sparse with age (Waaaaaaah!) and I'm having trouble making my eyes "pop" with mascara. Time to try out lashes again! I head to Groupon and see Beauty by Judy's great deal of a full set plus 2 fills I believe for like $110, so both my girlfriend and I purchase and make our appointments with no issues. She's very prompt in returning calls and texts. The process is very easy. Judy is located inside the nail salon, "All About The Pretty" with a simple set up in the back of a bed with pillow where you lie down and basically take a "nap" for a hour. Which is what has happened to me on more than one occasion as I have fought to not start snoring in her face while she quietly works on applying your lashes. Just lay down and relax because once she is done, your eyes will look amazing!! I continually get compliments from complete strangers stopping me to say how they love my lashes. No joke. In Costco the other day, a woman who was selling some vitamins stopped me and said, "Your lashes are so beautiful!" I then told her they were fake and she was amazed because she thought they looked so natural. At the post office a few weeks ago, the customer service woman told me my makeup was "Wedding Day Perfect" and I was only wearing natural eye shadow, some blush and lipstick. She was in shock when I mentioned they were fake lashes. Now here are the pros and cons of lashes if you've never tried them. Pros: Gorgeous results! Judy uses a black glue so it looks as if I have eyeliner on naturally, so the benefits are no need for mascara or eyeliner unless I want to really dress up my makeup for a night out. My daily makeup routine now involves sunscreen moisturizer, blush, light eyeshadow if any and lipstick. Another pro is men really notice them and a lot of the time they can't figure out what is attracting their attention. Its quite amusing. Cons: Maintenance is involved! Gone are the days of eye rubbing. And you cannot let water touch these beauties for 24 hours after application. Also, I am very aware of how I sleep because sleeping on my side usually affects one side of my lashes and they can get all whacked out requiring some combing with a small lash comb to get them back into place. Reality part: Our lashes are constantly falling out naturally, its growth. And the fake lashes are attached to our natural lashes, so there will be times when you'll lose more lashes and it may freak you out. But that is why we need fills. I can manage to go 3 weeks between fills sometimes if I'm careful, but I think 2 weeks really keeps them looking great. If you don't want to deal with lashes falling out, stick with lash strips but they will NEVER look as natural as individuals. P.S...I get synthetic Mink lashes, but Judy has various kinds. It all depends on what works best for your natural lashes.
