I'm back with another review of this salon! I love this place…read more After a year of coming here I have had my nails done by many of the different nail techs and each time I have been impressed by how much they seem to care about the job they are doing. With that said, there are varying levels of skill at this salon. Just like you would find at any salon. You can pick a specific nail tech of your choosing if you prefer. Cynthia, the owner, is wonderful. It's not easy to run this sort of business but she does a great job and genuinely cares about the customers and her employees. You can tell by the regular laughter floating around the place. I will keep coming to this local salon for a long time to come.

I was so excited for my pedicure once I landed in Durham. I called two days in advance and made an…read moreappointment for 5pm on 7/3. I walked in and let them know about my appointment, I saw them check their book and confirm I was on there. She then told me to check in on the kiosk and pick my color. I followed the woman to a pedicure chair where she informed me that I shouldn't sit there and it was for someone else. About two minutes later, a woman walks in and thanks her for squeezing in an appointment. Wow. She tells me to go speak to the manager. He asks can I wait because there are three other people ahead of me, I said no I really couldn't and that's why I made an appointment. Very, very disappointing experience. Why let me check in for my appointment but then don't service me? Why was another woman with an appointment serviced before me? Why was there no real solution offered except wait for an undisclosed amount of time? I thought people were friendlier down south but clearly the businesses are not. 0/10.

If I could give Eden a hundred stars, I would in a heartbeat. They saved my nails and gave me an…read moreincredible gel tip manicure. I mean, look at the photo! Before Eden, I went to a different salon that gave me a botched, painful manicure, but I was able to schedule an appointment with Eden for the next morning. They removed the gel tips, were really gentle with my nails, and fitted the new ones with care. I was nervous because I'd never had gel tips before, but I love my nails now. It's been two weeks and they still look perfect. They're comfortable, pretty, and feel good on my fingers. If you're going to get your nails done, get them done here. (I'm bringing my mother-in-law next time!)

Thrilled with the beautiful aesthetics of this place- the lighting, the brand new massage chairs…read more(everything inside looks brand new)- feels very bright and clean. Loved that they offer over 10 different pedicures, and my absolute favorite part is that you can add on a timed massage, to ANY one you pick (up to 20 min, for an extra $25). The salon offers LOTS of different colors, and different brands of gel polish. I got a gel manicure and pedicure, and I felt that my technician really took her time and did a great job. She did 3 coats without me asking, because the color was MUCH lighter than was in the bottle- I appreciate small things like that. $100 for both (and the extra massage)- I will definitely be back here!!! Note- only street parking. Wasn't hard for me at 11 am on a week day, but not sure of the parking at later times in the day or on the weekends. Have heard there is a nearby parking garage (but didn't see it). Lots of construction going on, on the same street as well.

I called and the customer service is amazing all my questions were answered. I arrive and one of the employees handed me the nail service menu. I picked the Lavender pedicure package with $20 gel nail upgraded. $20 is pretty steep considering being from California gel nail upgrades are $10 with any pedicure package. Every sports season I only color my nails my team colors. I went from my SF 49er color to my basketball team the golden state warriors baby!!! The owner did the translation to my nail tech with what I wanted and the owner and I had a really nice conversation he is so friendly.

For example, I showed a specific inspo pic for som simple nail art before coming to the salon and asked if they had anyone who could do this. They said yes. Once I got there, nail technician said no, she could not, and that no one asked her before saying yes to me. It's unfortunate because this is for a special event with photos, and I would have kept trying to find a different place if I knew. I booked weeks out. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back to this salon.

When you are escorted back to your space for your foot massage you will be in for a treat. There will be a wonderful seated La-Z-Boy and a warm blanket ready for you. The massage room is dim and relaxing and it feels like you've left all your cares at the front door and you are in a whole new reality. I especially enjoyed the caring treatment that the massage therapist had for me and my experience on that day. The environment is clean, cozy, but a little cool. I did enjoy mentioning to my good friend how I was feeling a little chilly and I believe it might've been the owner who walked a heated blanket over to me and asked while I was getting my pedicure if I needed a blanket that was the icing on the cake and why I feel if you need a pick me up you should definitely step into this amazing space. I will always make sure I check into relax foot spa when I am in Raleigh. I would have liked the nail technician to have asked if the water was OK and I felt that the cold water shifted my experience following the massage a bit however, the blanket and the additional heated water added it to my pedicure experience made it better.

My husband and I had a lovely Valentines Day date here. We got the detox and reflexology package…read more We were escorted to a nice private room with relaxing music and ambient light. We each had an attendant massage our arms and legs and feet, while we sat in very comfortable recliners. The attendants also used hot stones, which felt very nice. For the detox part we were hooked up to a machine and our feet placed in buckets of water for 30 minutes. We both kind of dozed off because we were so relaxed. I think next time I'd skip the detox and do more of the reflexology, and maybe add a pedicure! I wasn't sure what to expect but this was a really nice experience. I think it was great value for money too.
