    I am thrilled to share my experience with a beautiful pink French tip chrome Gel-X extension set that has truly captivated me. The chrome effect added a touch of sophistication, creating a mesmerizing visual experience that immediately caught the attention of those around me. The application process of the Gel-X extensions was seamless and professional. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight and comfortable they felt, as if they were a natural extension of my own nails. I'm so happy with my experience! Zalak was so friendly and made my whole experience amazing will definitely be recommending her to my friends.

    Nail polish doesn't even extend to cuticle  Also, this is claiming to be matte

    Asked for a simple black matte manicure came out with a sloppy job. My 6 year old cousin could've done a better job. The nail tech had a book of stickers on the desk, so I asked to add one of her banana stickers. She didn't cut or shape my nails. She rushed through the coats with no drying in between sticker placement. The sticker is squished. She applied the clear black matte coat while the black coat wasn't even dry yet. Some of my nails are shiny, others matte. I was under the incorrect assumption you were known for your nail designs. If you can't nail a matte black nail job, you sure your Yelp photos are yours? Photos below were taken right after I got my nails done last night.

    Super thick and bumpy nails. No nail polish on the edges...

    This is just a response to the owners' reply. My original review remains. I never expect anything for free. I also always tip regardless of the quality of work which is why I tipped you. This review is merely an unbiased review of the quality of work I received. I never expect work for free but you literally did a bait and switch. You never told me nail art was an additional fee. I told you over the phone I wanted to do a design and that I always do hard gel. When I showed you the design in person you didn't say there was any additional associated fee. This implies it's the same fee we already discussed. How is a hard gel fill $80 more than the fee for a new full hard gel mani with design that you quoted me over the phone? Any reasonable person would assume it's less or the same! You didn't spend any time shaping my nails and didn't even copy the design I showed you. Additionally, you DID NOT offer to fix anything. When I asked you through out the process, you said it was "too late". I would suggest instead of making yourself look worse, that you take this constructive feedback and grow.

    Love my nails they came out so beautiful

    Zalek did an amazing job with my nails . She was very fast , efficient and professional. 10 stars! I will Definitely book again

    So much fun, and so grateful!! Can't wait for my next appointment.

    Highlights because otherwise this review would be ten pages long: --she's amazing and super friendly, even though I asked her if she could take me last minute nearing 8p for a full set (she does have an up charge the later in the evening it gets) --so easy to talk to --understood exactly what I wanted, and picked a perfect color when I gave her dealer's choice --did not comment on the heinous state of my nails when presenting them after months of neglect (I apologize in advance for the photos, but she really did an incredible job) --changed the music when I wasn't feeling the jams and didn't make me feel awkward for asking --overall solved every problem I've had with other nail techs and my experiences thus far with manicures

    Hard gel with a pretty neutral gel polish.
    Amanda W.

    I am so glad I came to Zalak for my nails. This was my first time doing a hard gel, and she was so sweet and made me feel incredibly comfortable. I always experience anxiety and nail salons, but Zalak killed it--even fixed three broken nails with so much care. Wish i did a more fun design too, since she is such an artist.

    Excited to be here will share the post.
    J F.

    Well I got here reference through a friend whose already her fan so thought to give a try the best thing is her variation of designs and colors.I got get x extension with design . really loving it thank you zalak definitely I will give 5 stars and recommend everyone to give a try.

    Zalak is an absolutely incredible nail artist. I love long sets with elaborate art and she absolutely MURDERED this set. I'm obsessed and so grateful to have found her. She works out of a very private space that makes receiving this service feel extra special and relaxing. The photos speak for themselves. Can't wait for my next set already.

    Underneath is just embarrassing

    If you're thinking about getting HARD GEL, do NOT go here. I have been an avid dip advocate and grew out my nails naturally with a hard time finding good techs. I decided to try hard gel and went here after reading lots about the trend and it being healthy. Please read this article about how it is healthy BUT needs to be applied properly: https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/hard-gel-nails-manicure I went to her twice. The first time was free in exchange for trying the service, becoming a "fun new customer" as she wants on her Instagram, and checking in on her Yelp. Well my nail cracked bad within a week and it hurt. I couldn't come and get it fixed because I'm constantly working. In two weeks I had to come in and pay $70 (normal gel/dip/manicure price) for what she considered a "color change" and "one" nail fix. Also a shaping. Two days later, three of my nails have similarly broken and cracked in the middle and I can't do anything with my hands so I now have to find a new tech, cut down all my natural nails super short, and give up what I've been growing. I have never had this problem before with any tech or technique and when texting her about this asking for help, she blamed my nails for being weak. In any industry is never right to blame the client or customer. Again I went back to research and the article I have linked says proper technician form leads to Nail breakage such as this. Nothing should happen this quickly after a manicure and when she did my nails, it took nowhere near two hours -- she rushed and as you can see in the pictures it is sloppy. Lastly, she said to come in for the next "fill" it would be $120 at least. No thanks.

    Zalak was fast and professional! She fit me in at the last minute and when it was convenient for me! I needed my nails to be short/neat and Zalak did a great job!

    Zochi F.

    I'm going to start by saying that I feel I found the one! The one that will be taking care of nails and I couldn't be much more happy! I was searching for an open nail salon on a Saturday evening when Nail Bawse popped up as a suggestion. I clicked on the profile, read the reviews and of course checked out the pictures. What I was most excited was that she was open late and also provided mobile services. I immediately contacted her through Yelp, responded within a couple minutes. I was impressed! She let me know she was booked for the evening (my loss), and that she would get back at me for Sunday if she was able to squeeze me in. Here comes Sunday, I'm busy with errands, forgot about our conversation, yet Zalak, contacts me right away that she was booked all afternoon but she would be able to take me either Monday or Tuesday which was fine by me. Booked my appointment online, she was also helpful with guiding me and provided the best customer service ever! As I met up with her, she showed me the difference between hard gel nails and gel overlay. I decided to try out hard gel nails and I am so glad she introduced me to this because I don't want no one touching my nails! She did such a great job! She was attentive, friendly, helpful and since it was late, offered me some samosas (which were to die for!!) and water. She went above and beyond! I have booked my future appointment with her and I'm excited that she will be coming to me! Where else can you get treated so good?

    So many colors and designs to choose from!

    This is my fourth time getting my nails done with Zalak and she never disappoints! She is has such a great vibe at her home studio, and offers house calls as well. I love that she offers gel x and is able to accommodate any design you have in mind. I showed her a few reference photos and she free-styled with her creative direction. I'm so happy with my results and will definitely be seeing her again soon.

    Great service with positive and amazing personality. Love how she left my eyebrows and I'm definitely coming back to retouch them

I had booked my appointment online, which requires a CC to book because if you don't come to the appointment or do not cancel within a certain time you get charged. Which I totally understand! I booked a 6pm appointment the same day. Luckily I checked my email before I left my house (I get so much spam it's hard to stay on track), but they just randomly cancelled my appointment out of the blue. First- why would you not call your customer the same day?? I thought maybe it was a staffing thing, so I called to confirm. They told me it was MY FAULT because I cancelled too many times in the past - 12 times over 8 years!!! As someone who had been going there for 8 years + you would think a phone call or email explaining this would be nice. They said I would no longer be able to book online which is absurd. I'm not going to risk waiting in a walk in appointment. The lack of communication and treatment is truly terrible. Not to mention the girl on the phone who told me this was so rude, saying I was lying and it was all my fault. I will have to try to find a new wax space because this is truly terrible customer service. The only reason they got 2 stars is because I have gotten very good waxes in the past

    What a fantastic experience!…read more I needed a last-minute brow wax before a photoshoot with my partner and found this place nearby. Let me say, I'm super iffy about who does my brows because mine are incredibly thick naturally but over the years, I have gone to places that assume I want them thinned out. OR, I walk away with a simple "clean up" job and feeling as though I could have done that myself. After seeing the reviews for Waxing in the City and noticing the proximity to where I was, it seemed like an easy choice. Since my appointment was last minute, I was left with either 9 or 9:15 am or around noon when I knew I needed to be preparing for our shoot. So I went with the 9:15am despite being sleepier than ever these days. Surprising to me, I actually got my life together in time and made it there early! This location is set in a large plaza with a number of businesses nearby which affords lots of great parking. When I entered, I was greeted by Brittany at the front desk who was such a sweetheart. She let me know that since we were the only ones in the building, she would lock the door for safety purposes and I so appreciated that. The interior is so cute, filled with lots of products to check out and waxing marketing all over. Brittany guided me back to one of the rooms which was small but not cramped in any way. Incredibly clean and offering an adjustable flatbed to lay back on that was covered with a disposable sheet, it was quite welcoming. And the playlist?! Fire. I don't love waxing, I mean, who does? But this was such a great experience. They use hard wax vs. strips and I truly prefer it that way. Brittany used small pieces of wax vs. longer ones which made each pull gentler, so great. I let her know that I hateeee tweezing but understand it has to happen, and she was quite patient with me and still smooth when doing so. Because I was a first-time customer, I received 20% off, so appreciated it. I'm truly happy with the final result and definitely plan on returning!
