    I went to get acrylic. The lady was really rude, I told her I didn't like the color shade the moment she applied it so she only applied it on one nail and she could've easily just removed it and got the other on but instead she gave me attitude and was so mad that she sent me to the table to choose another one(she could've showed me other options) AND when I got up SHE WENT AND TOOK ANOTHER CLIENT, no communication no nothing. I was confused as it took me literally 10s to change the color shade. Without any communication from her still, another girl came and took me to do my nails for me and looked like she didn't know what she's doing (she did french tip in such a wrong way) and they turned out ugly. :( as you say it doesn't look symmetrical, one layer and so unprofessionaly done. They were all different lengths and shapes like!!!!

    Julie is always great, professional, and very skilled. Aaron has done gel manicures for me a few times now. He takes his time and does a wonderful job. I have always been extremely pleased with his work. I never feel rushed and appreciate his kindness. I will continue to request him and highly recommend him.

    Service has gone down hill over the past year. I used to rave about this place - have always loved that they offer hot stone massage. Pedis are consistent, but the mani service seems to get worse each time I come. The edges of my thumbs on my French tips always appear smudged, and this time they aren't even fully polished. Today, I had an appointment, and was shuffled off from person to person. Nails done by one, then rather finish me up I was sat in a chair for almost 20 mins before someone came to prep my toes. Then another wait until a third person finally polished them, and to be honest, she gave the most personal service out of the bunch, asking if the color was what I wanted. My nails looked so horrible once I got home and finally looked closely at them, I will need to make an appt somewhere else to have the French tips redone. Today was NOT worth the $100+ that I paid.

    Love love love Modern Nails! It's my go-to nail salon in Corvallis. They're always friendly and take their time to do a good job. And they always check in and see how I like them after too.

    The picture says it all! I hadnt had a pedicure and manicure done in years. Came to this place as my first, and i had a good experience. I sat down for my pedicure and waited until someone serviced me, but i sat in a comfy massaging chair :) my feet are so nice and clean now! And i absolutely love my nails!! They are so festive and exactly what i wanted!!

    Missed this entire spot somehow. Even more noticeable in person, very unsatisfied ):

    Had my second less than mediocre experience here. Got a pedicure and the technician was nice but the pedicure itself was not enjoyable. The water was cold and the entire left side of my big toe was missed during the second coat. I didn't get a massage or lotion when the other people I was with did. When I paid, I tried to tell them I didn't get the full service but she insisted she gave me it (she didn't) and they still charged me full price. Gave me a student discount which was nice but I get that with a better experience elsewhere. Go to Corvallis Star, way better service for the price. Really bummed I had to spend money here and walk away unsatisfied, twice. Definitely not going back again now.

    I walked in for a full acrylic set and the wait was about 10 minutes. I wanted something for the fall season but wasn't sure if they had nail art but they do! I had Lana again, and she did a wonderful job as usual. :-)

    Design I found online. Absolutely loved how they turned out.

    I enjoy finding nail ideas online and bring them in with me. I show them the picture and they do their best to make it happen. Absolutely love this place. They do a fantastic job!

    Dissolving the nails in acetone because keeping them any longer was painful

    Me and my friend went into to get our nails done with the dip powder and did not have a great experience. I got out of my chair very quickly and noticed that my nails looked a little unfinished. My nail tech rushed me out to take a new client. My friend however got out of her chair 15 minutes after me and we left as soon after. She had experienced a lot of pain with her nails especially her pinky. We ended up having to soak her nails in acetone because it was too painful to remove them normally or wait for the appropriate time. After soaking off the pinky nail where most of the pain was coming from we discovered her nail was cracked in half. We're not regulars here but have gotten our nails done elsewhere and haven't experienced a lack of professionalism and care up until this point.

    Monroe Avenue Salon - Hair by Bessie Kotek

    Monroe Avenue Salon

    (32 reviews)

    Dang, those reviews are killer, ladies. I feel fortunate that I did not get my hair cut by Bessie…read morethen. But these reviews explain why her hair cuts are cheaper than the other stylists at this salon. My coworker got back from her break with freaking beautiful hair. I've been looking for a good stylist in Corvallis, so as soon as I saw her "do" I made sure to find out whose hands had done that magic. She directed me to Jen Schaefer at Monroe Avenue Salon. I heard it was pretty pricey, but I thought I should give it a shot. I got layers and a cut from Jen, who was a complete doll. She was super personable and did a great job with my hair. The only issue is that I don't think I communicated what I wanted very well. I wanted a trim and a slight cut, but she ended up chopping off about 7 inches (Don't worry, I had it to spare. My hair is still shoulder length after the cut). I wasn't so sure about it after I left, but now that it's been a few days, I can tell that Jen really knew what she was doing and I'm very happy with the changes. She's pretty new in town ladies, let's give her some business because she deserves it!

    I went in to get my hair colored to my natural root color (light ash blonde) after almost a year of…read moregrow-out. Bessie swindled me into an Olaplex treatment without telling me it would cost extra, which I absolutely didn't need after a year of grow out. She then dyed my hair literally coffee brown, (I have bright blonde hair) which ended up washing out red. I'm livid about the whole experience because my hair is trashed from multiple color corrections now, and the most uneven "thinning" cut I've ever had in my life. Bessie complains about her significant other and takes text breaks constantly. She barely communicates to her clients outside of talking about her own negative BS. She's cold and fake, and warms up when she responds to reviews on yelp but that's about it. I'm shocked she's still in business, do not go to this salon.
