    I didn't know they require reservations and was a walk in at 4:30 on Sunday. They were busy and asked if I wanted to wait for 20 minutes or come back. I chose to come back at 5 as I live in the same plaza they are located. I am happy to have found a place so close to where I live and meticulous workmanship. Very clean and friendly. Best part is their ambassador service dog who greets everyone.

    I highly recommend this place for manicure and pedicure. 1. Located by the platt river. Tucked in place between LoHi and downtown. Really convenient locations and quiet to enjoy your peace 2. Interior: the owner definitely invested in the interior to give a great experience when you enjoy the spa. Tall ceilings, roomy and airy space, peaceful music, elegant interiors 3. Service: really detail oriented service. Pedicure included cleaning and brief massages which I think the nail technician did a great job with. Friendly and attentive. I asked for simple pedi though so I couldn't speak to if the technicians are capable of complex patterns and styles 4. Higiene: clean spot as I observed 5. Plus- massage chairs: massage chairs they kept on all the time while technicians work on your nails. Great spot to get nail done. Relaxing experience overal

    Gel manicure
    Meghan D.

    Let me start by saying they have the sweetest staff, I have been coming here on and off for about 6 months. This week, I went in for a gel manicure and picked a light pink color. As they began to do my nails, it was apparent that the color was see-through. They wound up putting 4-5 coats on. I did not notice until after I left the salon that it still looked splotchy. I am disappointed to have paid $40 for the look of my nails. EDIT: I came back and they fixed it when I asked. I just returned to have my nails done here again but was turned away.

    As soon as I walked in and got seated I had already felt like what I expressed I wanted wasn't being valued, I showed the nail artist the pastel pink I wanted and was told the color didn't look like the picture because of my skin complexion. I let it go and let her do her thing. I wanted to get a gel Manicure and as soon as she did the first coat she asked if it was okay and I asked if the color got darker after a few coats she said yes... these pictures were the final result. I was very upset and wanted something else and as bad as I felt you can tell she got frustrated then she told the store manager and she just giggled. I didn't think anything was funny considering Im paying over 90$ for basic services. I just asked for the color to be removed and she then put something on my nails left it there as it burned my cuticles to the point it made me cry and on top of that I felt my service was unprofessional and rushed. As a woman being helped by another I would have appreciated being treated with care and decent humanity. Me and my friends come here often but I think after this experience we will be finding something else

    This place is so cute!! I came here to get my toes done along with my mother. I made an appointment for 2:45 & we got here maybe 5-7 mins early but they took us right away. Showed up the menu about what pedicure options were available which was very simple. I like simple. Going into a nail place with 10 different pedicure options stressed me out haha. I had Lisa as my pedicurist & she was very nice, took her time with my service, & made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. We got the lavender pedicure ($60) which included a leg exfoliation to start off followed by a leg mask with a hot towel wrapped around it. Then they cut & filed down the nail, buffed, did the cuticles, etc. After that was about a 10 mins leg massage with lotion, oil, hot stones, & they took that all off with a hot towel. Finally they prepped the toes for color & Lisa did a wonderful job with the application. Such a pretty color for both my mom & I!! This might be my new favorite nail salon. I feel that for the price, we got a lot out of the service we chose! Even though I live about half an hour away, I will be returning for future services

    What a GEM!!!! Just walked out from getting a gel manicure & Chamomile pedicure and I am SOOO HAPPY!!! Due to COVID they ask you wear a mask, and they take temperature checks when you enter. Overall the salon is very clean, and relaxing! The service was top notch! Angela was my nail tech and she did a phenomenal job! See pics(: I highly recommend this place for gel manicure and some self are pampering!

    My nail salon in the burbs closed after 20 years. Did some research and found this little gem. Appointment only but worth it. Eh say did great with design. $45 for a gel manicure downtown cannot be beat!

    Basic manicure + French
    Emily C.

    I called on a Friday to make an appointment for the next day and did not have any trouble getting in. I scheduled a manicure for noon, and they were right on time. The front desk staff was very nice. On the services menu up front, a basic French manicure is listed as $20, but I was told I owed $25 before tip, so that was a little strange -- still reasonably priced. The full manicure took around 20 minutes. This was not the best French manicure I have gotten; there are multiple bubbles, uneven lines, and some polish on my skin. From a far, my nails look fine and this worked in a time pinch, but next time I need a French manicure, I will likely go elsewhere.

    The overall experience was very relaxing and great. I had gel mani/pedi that were poorly done from another salon and decided I didn't want to go with gel again (so my nails could "breathe" and rest). So I picked out normal OPI polish for pedi and paid $5 extra for an OPI polish that supposedly lasts longer, like gel, for mani. I hope I am not being petty here but after one day, the gel-like nail polish already chipped on several fingers. Not sure if it's the nail polish or that it just wasn't applied on well. For this price I should've gone with gel. Will definitely go back but not sure I'll choose the non-gel polish again...

    Wow! Haven't found an amazing nail salon... ever! We flew in from Miami and had an appointment at 2pm for 3 manicures. We arrived a little early and they were so excited to see we made it and on time! Three artists got started on us and we were in and out in no time. No issues of any kind with our nails. Definitely recommend!!! Also the facility is super clean

    I went in for a brow and lash tint. I signed all of the consent forms and toxic reaction warnings…read morebefore I arrived. The esthetician was friendly, boisterous, loud and immediately jumped into performing the service without instructions or warnings. She did a good job applying the under eye patches, tints, etc. When it was time to take the tint off she dug cotton balls into my eyes - way deeper than was necessary and without care - that toxic dye got in my eyes and it was SO painful. She washed my eyes out with saline like 6 times because I demanded it but they still stung. She never apologized - just "yep, it stings don't it", like I was some sort of torture subject. I don't think she was properly trained! I have had my brows and lashes tinted dozens of times in other salons and sure there is a little sting but the esthetitian knows how to carefully remove the dye so that the sting is minimal and she is compassionate and thorough with the saline. I don't think this woman got all the dye out because my eyes still stung for the rest of the day and into the night, extra dry, red on the inside of the eyelid... 3 days later my eyes are still recovering. Google says the dyes are not FDA approved and can cause serious damage to the eyes - I was freaking out. The place is cute but I would NEVER go here again.

    I am writing to share my experience following a service appointment at this location. I received a…read moremale Brazilian and full butt wax yesterday, and my esthetician was Reagan. The service itself was performed well, and I was satisfied with the quality of the wax. However, the subsequent events have caused significant disappointment and lead me to strongly advise caution to other male clients. The day after my service, I was unexpectedly contacted by the manager and informed that I was banned from the establishment due to an "inappropriate conversation" with the esthetician. This notification was perplexing, as the conversation in question was initiated by the esthetician's small talk. During the service, Reagan asked about my weekend plans. When I initially mentioned that the plans were personal, she indicated that was acceptable. I then shared that my wife and I planned to visit The Scarlet Ranch, a known lifestyle club. As my wife and I are open about our lifestyle, I was willing to engage in general, surface-level discussion. Reagan continued to actively participate, asking multiple follow-up questions about the club's atmosphere, membership fees, types of events, and clientele. I was careful to keep my responses strictly professional and non-sexual, focusing on logistical and social aspects. At no point during this sustained conversation did the esthetician indicate that she felt uncomfortable or ask to change the subject. Therefore, receiving a call informing me I was banned--and being told by the manager that the conversation was "inappropriate to have while getting a male Brazilian"--was a significant surprise. It seems highly unprofessional to ban a paying customer without the service provider communicating any discomfort during the interaction. Feedback on Communication and Professionalism: For the management and staff: Professional protocol dictates that if a client's conversation makes a staff member uncomfortable, the staff member must clearly and politely redirect or end the topic of conversation. Customers cannot be expected to know a provider's boundaries, especially when the provider is actively engaging and asking follow-up questions. A simple, "I prefer to keep our conversation limited to the service," would have been sufficient and professional. This lack of professional communication has resulted in the loss of a repeat client and has created an unnecessarily unpleasant experience. I urge management to review their policies on staff interaction and boundary setting. Recommendation for Male Clients: Due to this experience, I do not recommend this establishment for males seeking a Brazilian wax. While the technique was good, the overall lack of staff maturity and professionalism in handling client conversations is concerning. Prospective clients might consider alternatives like European Wax Center for a lower-cost option. I hope this feedback leads to better communication practices so that other clients do not feel targeted or confused in the future.
