I wasn't in search of a new hairstylist, as I love the one that I have gone to in the past…read more However, my go-to hairstylist is located in Wburg, so it takes a lot more coordination to make the trek to the other side of the water. My hair was so long and I was beyond annoyed with the length and definitely was in search of a new haircut. I asked my sister-in-law who she and my niece went to, and she referred me to Kayla at Sleek Salon & Spa. I submitted my inquiry on their website that night and that's where all the magic began. The inquiry was late, but I got a call from the salon mid-morning the very next day. The person who called me was so nice and answered my preliminary questions. It turned out that Kayla had availability that same day, so I jumped at the chance. - Kayla - My sister-in-law raved about her, so I was expecting no less. Kayla was super friendly when we met and asked what I had in mind. I also asked her the same out of curiosity lol... "as a hairstylist, what are you dying to do to my hair right now?" We came to an agreement (I wasn't feeling drastic this go around), but she did want to bring my hair back to a more healthy look. What I got: a haircut. She actually cut it twice, because the first time, she cut a few inches off, but I was being a little more daring and decided to cut another few inches off. I had so much hair! Due to my Asian heritage and the way Asian hair tends to behave, she suggested and asked that she reverse the process and cut my hair while it was dry, then wash and them blow dry. That was a great suggestion, because there weren't any surprises and it shows that she knows what she is doing! Result: The proof is in the pictures. I'll leave it at that. I must have lost a good 2 lbs just from the cut. It. feels. so. good. I ended up getting the leave-in conditioner that she used on my hair which was $47. A little steep, but it'll probably last me awhile. Things to note: - AVEDA products for sale only, unless AVEDA does not make a certain product. They have a mix of CBD products. - They are open late for working customers which I thought was very nice. I got an appointment at 7pm. - Stylist price varies according to education and experience. Kayla's haircut starts at $60 depending on texture and length, but my hair is in the middle, not thin and not that thick. I was charged $60, which I was so happy about because have you called around for haircuts these days? Kayla can take my money! - you can get $25 credit for referring new customers! The salon was pretty spacious too, and clean. Just a nice vibe. They don't play super loud music and play the chill vibe tunes, staying true to the word "spa" in their name. It's right next to Momo's Kitchen. They seem to cater to all ages too, because there were kids next to me getting their hair done also. Highly recommend, and enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!

So, I found this place with good reviews on YELP. First, the location was hard to find (especially if you're not from the area). Second, she had her child running in and out of the room she was doing my eyelashes in, which I don't mind, but if you don't like kids, beware. Third, when she was done, I noticed that there were some spots that were bare when I told her that there seems to be some spots missing, she said that she glued an extension to every lash I had and it's because I chose to do a classic set that it looks like this and that I should have gone with hybrid lashes if I wanted more lash. I have done classic sets before and never had it look a bit patchy. Fourth, after a day of having these lashes done, the eyelashes poked the life out of my left eye, which I have never experienced with eyelash extensions. My right eyelash extensions kept bothering me to the point that many have already fallen out. I finally got so annoyed with these lashes after about a week, I YouTube how to take off lash extensions from home at 10 at night because again, these lash extensions bothered me to death. The only reason I did not give this review a lower score is because it did look decent when I first got them done and it did the job of making me look nice at the wedding I was attending. However, I will not be going back to this place to get my lashes done again. I don't think I can stand being tortured by these faux lashes that this place glued to eyelashes.

I had a great experience at this nail salon with Jasmine as my nail tech. Although her English isn't perfect, she puts in a lot of effort to understand exactly what you want--and it shows. She gave me exactly the design I asked for using liquid gel, and her attention to detail and skill are truly impressive. I really appreciate how hard she worked to make sure I was happy with the result. Highly recommend Jasmine if you're looking for quality and care! read more

This is my third time here, and honestly, this was probably my best experience so far! I'm not sure…read moreif they read my previous review or if it was simply because they were less busy, but they actually cleaned my cuticles during the manicure this time!! I also really love how efficient their process is. They remove my polish, have me soak my fingers while they work on my pedicure, and then finish up with the manicure. It makes the whole appointment flow really smoothly without feeling like I'm sitting around waiting. Just a heads up: they only accept cash for tipping. However, some of the nail techs have a QR code for Venmo/Cash App, so I was able to use that instead. There's also an ATM in the salon if you prefer to get cash. The salon also seemed cleaner this time, which I appreciated. I think I'm going to start trying to come when they're less busy. I usually go on weekends, but this time I went during a weekday and had a much more pleasant experience overall. Still not a 5 because of the priceyness.

Update: I called on my way home from the shop, they told me to come back, but did mention that…read moreFridays are a busy day for them, but they would get me in, and would treat me like a "walk-in". I called about 45 min before coming in, and was quickly shuffled back to the same girl who did my nails the first time. I don't have any issues with her, but I did ask to be seen by someone else- this was ignored (or maybe they didn't hear me). I did down at the stable and the original girl feverishly starts filing my nails down. Now they are paper thin, which is what I didn't want. She returned back to other client and continued to work. As I sat there for a good 45-60 min, I watched other girls come in and were seated nearly right away. During my wait, my niece had a full set put on. I went to the gal who did her nails, the same gal with whom I had spoken on the phone with earlier, and she told me my only option was to get in line with my original nail tech. I asked for a refund, and was told no. She eventually gave in and did some filing and painted them clear (I will say for whatever reason she started to paint my blue nails white?‍) The following day, I chipped my paper thin thumb nail on a door, despite being told that the "thinness didn't make them more brittle".

I'm diabetic so I'm always a little reluctant to get my feet done. Because one cut can lead to a bunch of issues, which has occurred in the past. The girl who did my feet was nice, but she didn't understand what I was saying. So when she clipped my cuticles it was a little painful. I needed this pedicure,be so I sucked it up. Besides the pain, she did a good job. My feet were smooth afterwards, and my little piggies were looking brand new. Lol. Our full sets went pretty smoothly. My tech Lana was nice also. We conversed and she made me feel comfortable. I didn't understand what she was saying at times , so when we discussed the shape, she said square square, and I said yes! Well now my nails are ultra squared and it's my fault. Lol. They kinda look like teeth. Lesson learned. I really like their glitter gel polishes and all the color choices. I chose green and red, which afterwards I realized looked really Christmas like. Lol. But I did sorta like them. Picking colors takes me forever. My girls nails looked really good. Their techs did good jobs, and they were happy. I like Clover because they get you in and out. The nail techs are nice, and it was clean inside. I'd return for future fills. It's pretty pricey nowadays. A pedicure and full set will run you about $100 , but I guess that's the standard now. But I do enjoy being pampered, so it was worth it. Check them out!!

Make sure you look at the price list before coming. There's a lot of nickel and dime charges. For…read moreexample, there's a charge to remove the gel for a fill in on top of the fill in price... $5 for french, $3 for cut down. I came to get a gel fill in and my toes repolished (no pedicure) and paid $112. Nick was cool. But just from observation they aren't friendly to their customers. I witnessed them laugh in a customers face when she expressed concern about something. When Nick asked me if I wanted to cut my toes down I initially said yes, but then I said actually no and he laughed and said something to the girl beside him and they both laughed. Other than that he was pretty patient and based off the other reviews it doesn't seem like that's the case for the majority. When I was checking out, the lady asked me how I would like to pay and I said card. I am standing there waiting for her to show me where to pay and she says "Ma'am?" and I continue to look at her because im not sure why she's saying ma'am. She says, "right here" impatiently and picks up card machine that's hiding all the way to the left as if I were suppose to know where it was. Nick calmly showed me where to pay. I paid, asked for a price list so that I can show you all. I know it can be embarrassing as they get very defensive when you ask what you're paying for. There is prices on the screen that tells you what you're paying for either and I feel like that's something each customer should know. I feel like they also should be informing customers that there is a price to take off the polish they already have before they do it. What would be better is if they provide customers with the price list when they come into the door. I have no idea how much their fill in cost. It's not on the list. But I know $112 is a price for typically a full set of nails and a pedicure. This was my first time here and I can confidently say I won't be back. I think this is one of those salons where if you get someone that's good (like Kevin from what I've read) then you stick with them and you'll be happy coming here.
