    Bao is amazing! When she does your nails, she does them well. She says she enjoys doing nail designs which is refreshing because you don't feel like a bother asking. I love coming here because it's quiet and peaceful - no loud music or tvs on. 100s of people aren't coming in and out because services are by appointment only. Bao always has the best and most up to date colors or techniques for your nails and if you're stuck on what to do, she has ideas. Very reasonably priced. I only have a few pictures saved but will work on taking more. I've been going here for over two years and haven't regretted a visit yet!

    Nails by Bao! French manicure

    Got my nails done for a special occasion by Bao. She did such a great job taking care of our party. She was tend to us and made sure we loved our nails. Great atmosphere and wonderful job! Definitely recommend this place if you want to get glamorous!

    Bao did an AMAZING job on my nails. Here's the photo of what my inspiration was and what the nails turned out as. So happy with the final product, and the salon was so nice as well.

    Bao is absolutely amazing and accommodating! She was SOOOOOO nice!!!! Every nail salon should follow her as an example!!! The place is quaint but nice and clean. The other nail techs were also nice. I didn't get my nails done, my partners daughter did and she got them exactly as asked/shown. I cannot wait to get my nails done by her!! Bonus: She didn't constantly speak in a different language like other nail techs do. I felt very welcome and comfortable.

    My most recent manicure and gel nails.

    I found Nails by Bao online. It was close to home so I decided to give them a try. The place is immaculate and the service outstanding. I'm thrilled with how my nails look. I highly recommend Bao, Chief and their team.

    Dip powder nails!

    Nails By Bao exceeded my expectations!!! Not only did she do an AMAZING job on my nails that hadn't been professionally done in 6 months (covid ), the new salon is super cute, and Bao and her husband are the sweetest people!!! Prices: super reasonable and fair Cleanliness: for anyone wondering, they are following covid safety precautions to ensure a clean environment for everyone Bao's work was so thorough and I can't wait to go back! For anyone in Madison Heights and surrounding areas, this is your new local spot. And did I mention it's conveniently located across the street from Green Lantern....

    Worst manicure of my life. So streaky and rushed.

    Rushed job. Worst manicure of my life. They book too many people at once. Cut my cuticle and never even sanitized after!!! Instead tried to fix it with liquid styptic and nail glue! All while trying to finish my manicure while I was still bleeding. I washed my hands after the failed attempts by the tech and sprayed alcohol on the cut and applied pressure until it stopped. I will never be back. I will add it was not done by the owner or her husband.

    I got a mani pedi. Everyone there is so kind and it seems like the owners have a great relationship with their clients. The salon is very clean. Everyone who works there really seem like they want the clients to like their nails and ask for feedback.

    I love my gel manicures. They last the full 3 weeks in between appointments. Everyone is so kind, they are usually running on time, and the services are well priced. I'm so happy I found this salon!

    Shellac full set $40

    Beautiful nail salon! Appointments recommended but walk ins welcome. Fair prices. They really take their time to make sure your nails come out great. Owners are VERY sweet! If you're looking for a new nail salon to try I highly recommend this one!

    Ombré nails with accent stones
    Taylor I.

    So I am not sure why there are several reviews "hidden" because they are great reviews and right in line with my experience. I did a walk-in on 9/2/2020 and was services right away. I have yet to find a nail spot since I am a transplant but I think I finally found it. I came for a mani with dip and pedi with gel. This was a big deal for me because this was for my wedding! My experience was wonderful. Bao and her husband are so nice. Her husband was very gentle with my feet and took his time. I was clear I was in no rush and I was able to relax. Bao applies the gel polish to my toes. Bao also did my nails. I've only had dip a few times but I can tell you Bao excels with flying colors in this area. She is QUICK with it but not sloppy which is key! Very meticulous. They way she did ombré was impressive. It has been over two weeks now and I have not experiences any chipping or lifting. My stones I had added have pretty much lasted for the most part which is amazing because I used my hands a lot during my wedding weekend and then we honeymooned in Cancun so they survived the ocean, pool, and excursions. My toes look just as good as Day 1 too. See my pictures from day 1 to day 15. Ombré dip on my natural nails.

    Today I had my third appointment. I wanted something fun for Halloween. I gave Bao free reign and couldn't have bee happier. She totally killed it.

    Layered dip nails!

    I came here with my SIL while traveling from ATL. They're brand new and Bao and her husband did a fantastic job! They have VERY clean place, super knowledgeable, follow all the safety protocols and have amazing new chairs without magnetic reusable jet so it's much more sanitary and won't cross contaminate! The whole pedi process was so relaxing and I felt incredibly safe! Bao does amazing manicures and incredible designs too!

    Katie is a miracle worker! I've been getting Brazilians since I was 18 and facial waxes since 13,…read moreand let me tell you, Katie changed everything I thought I knew about waxing. Those red splotches after waxes that I thought were just part of getting waxed? Nonexistent with Katie. I am genuinely convinced she is magic because I never knew a wax could be this painless before AND after! Also as a gal who has always struggled with intense ingrown hairs, ones that doctors told me could only be fixed with laser, I was stunned when Katie took the time to get all of them out and coached me on how to prevent them in the future, truly above and beyond! She's is the most thorough esthetician I've ever been to, and she creates such a warm and welcoming environment that I am actually looking forward to my next wax!

    Always looking for my go to eyebrow spot. And I think I found it!…read more Booking online was super easy and simple. I have always wanted to know what was inside that building/house especially with that gorgeous curved front door. Passed it so many times on University. Parking was easy and nice to have designated parking spots for Bare Philosophy. Walked in and had no idea that you had to take your shoes off. I get for cleanliness sake and winter bringing water/salt, but I wasn't expecting it. I walked in and noticed another patron standing inside with her socks on so I followed suit. I didn't notice behind me that they provide slides to wear after you take off your shoes. There was no staff downstairs so no one to greet me or give instructions. There was a sign that said they were short staffed and to help yourself. It was the day before Christmas Eve. Really pretty inside and welcoming. Lots of areas to look at product. There was a coffee machine. Old historical charm throughout! The other client got brought back and I just was standing around. I finally heard someone in the foyer area and was checked in at that point and brought back to a large room for my eyebrow appointment. We spoke a bit about eyebrow shape and how she likes to keep things natural/follow your natural shape. Can always take off more later if I wanted. I think my eye wax was all of five minutes. Trimming, a few strips of waxing, and then tweezing and that's it. Let me have a look in the mirror and I was happy for the most part. I should've asked to trim my eyebrows a little more. But overall content with the shape. I wish there was something to put on my skin afterwards to calm it down since I get red easily. Again, the whole process was super quick, didn't feel overly personalized with an eye brow shaping/waxing but the job got done. The staff who did my brows was very nice and we made conversation throughout my service. I felt comfortable and no pain with the waxing/tweezing. Afterwards, she checked me out and you can give a tip on a card. $20 is a fair price for an eyebrow wax, what I was paying for at another place in the area.

    I had a fantastic experience at Craft Salon with Stylist Kayla Ivey…read more I've been searching for a local hair salon with stylists that are experienced in alternative haircuts and found this gem! Kayla did an incredible job matching my reference pictures, and she was so much fun to talk with! My haircut inspo was a kind of long shag/long wolfcut with lots of layers and a little bit of bangs. I am so happy with my entire experience here and I can't wait for my next haircut!

From platinum blonde to highlights, to fun phases like feathers, she has consistently delivered flawless results. I have textured hair, which can be challenging for many stylists, but Natasha has always handled it with absolute expertise, care, and precision. She understands my hair, listens to what I want, and elevates it every single time. Whether I'm looking for something bold or something subtle, she nails it. Beyond her personal talent, Natasha surrounds herself with excellence. Her staff is top-tier, and it's clear she only hires people who match her high standards. I've never had a single experience at Craft that was anything less than exceptional. If you want someone who is skilled, creative, consistent, and genuinely passionate about what they do, Natasha is the one. I cannot recommend her -- and everyone at Craft -- highly enough. A true gem in the world of hair care.
