I reached out to let them know what happened, and they immediately took the initiative to make things right. They were incredibly kind, understanding, and even redid my nails completely free of charge! What really stood out to me was their amazing customer service and how much they genuinely care about their clients' satisfaction. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but it's how a business handles them that truly matters. They went above and beyond to make sure I left happy, and I really appreciate that. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this salon!

The staff responded with, "We have two customers waiting, maybe next time." Excuse me? We were paying customers sitting there already receiving services. The way they spoke to us made us feel rushed and unwanted instead of appreciated. A simple request was treated like an inconvenience. Customer service and attitude matter just as much as the actual service, and this place failed badly at both. There definitely will NOT be a next time. So many better salons out there that actually know how to treat customers with respect.

I was very disappointed with my experience with Kim!…read more During my consultation, I clearly explained that I wanted more dimension in my hair and specifically wanted to move toward a brunette look with only a few subtle blonde highlights. My goal was to avoid becoming significantly blonder. Unfortunately, the final result was the opposite of what I had requested, and my hair ended up much blonder than I wanted. What was particularly concerning was that when I expressed my desire for a brunette look with minimal highlights, Kim responded that it would be "disgusting." I found that comment unprofessional and unnecessarily harsh. Clients should feel heard and respected, even when a stylist has a different professional opinion. To her credit, she did attempt to correct the color by adding lowlights. However, the lowlights did not appear to take, and I was told there was something wrong with my hair rather than being given a clear explanation or solution. I understand that color services can be complex and that results may vary, but I left feeling that my preferences were not fully respected and that the outcome did not reflect the look I had specifically requested. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I would not return and cannot recommend the salon based on my visit. I hope this feedback helps future clients and encourages better communication between stylists and their customers.

You can really see the care, cleanliness, and attention to detail in their work. One thing I especially loved is that they showed me they use new, clean tools. Cleanliness and hygiene are extremely important to me when choosing a nail salon, and seeing this gave me extra confidence and peace of mind. It really makes a difference! Lynn did my nails, and they turned out beautiful, clean, and elegant! She also did my daughter's nails and created an adorable Halloween design. Her creativity and attention to detail were amazing! Nancy did my pedicure and toes, and she did a wonderful job as well. Both Lynn and Nancy were so kind, friendly, and professional. I brought my daughter to celebrate her birthday, and we had such a fun and enjoyable time together. The atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and welcoming, and we truly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. A big thank-you to Mimi, Lynn, and Nancy for making our visit so special! I'm so happy to see such wonderful service under the new management. I highly recommend Healthy Spa Nail Salon to anyone looking for beautiful nails, excellent service, friendly staff, and a clean environment where hygiene is taken seriously. We will definitely be coming back!

Nails are lovely. -Where they plummeted was right at the front: Viviene (?) the front desk "manager" who refused to tell me the owner's name decided that I was a rude person. Like everyone on the planet I'm not perfect but today? I was there for my 7-yo's bday. We were pressed for time and so our services would change from a full mani pedi to just a polish change for both. Things like that. This woman at the front...wow. Abrasive. Rude. Dear Lord. *Response from Owner Nick P*: Hi Elle, Thank you for your feedback. However, we believe this review may have been posted for the wrong salon. We do not have a staff member or manager by the name you mentioned in your review, and the situation described does not match our front desk team or service records. There are other salons in the area with very similar names, so it's possible the review was intended for another salon. Just for your reference, we're located in the Whole Food Supermarket, across from Mendocino Farms We'd love the opportunity to clarify this with you. Please contact us directly so we can look into your visit and assist if there was any misunderstanding. If this review was meant for another salon, we kindly ask that you consider updating it so it reflects the correct business. *4/18/26*: @Nick/owner pls let me know if you'd like to rectify this and amend my review. This was the correct zen nails. I've called and it went to voicemail "please enter your remote access code". If you'd like to update me with a msg pls let me know. *7/18/26*: To Nick, the owner. Yes, sadly, it was the same Zen Nail by Whole Foods. I'm usually worried about going back for a redo because I worry that the people working on me will be mean or hurt me or my daughter I'm sure you guys wouldn't but that's always the worry right. I am willing to go back and give you guys a second shot and amend my review if you would like. I'll call. Thank you. *10/17/26*: I call to politely request a redo, and am told the owner will call me back, if he can. Hes not in and they don't know when he'll be in, or if he'll call back. *10/18/26*: @Nick P/Owner: Kaitlyn calls back, claims there's no way to redo the services, doesn't know when you will be in and can't guarantee a call back. 10/18/26: @Nick I've elected to call to redo the services as they were at this location. Since then, I'm told by the staff that they won't do it and they can't promise anything and that they don't know when you will be in. Please kindly reach out. I'd like to have the opt to amend this review. I spoke to Kaitlyn today. Vibe is a bummer based on how they've navigated this. @Nick I've elected to call to redo the services as they were at this location.

I've had a really good experience with Anastasia at European Nails and Pedicure Salon…read more When I first came in, one of my toenails was lifting and had become thick. Over time, Anastasia has done a great job helping bring it back to a much more normal and healthy state. She clearly knows what she is doing, takes her time, and really cares about her work. The experience feels much more private, calm, and personal. Her office is always very clean, comfortable, and well kept, and she is consistently professional. I also like not having the usual salon chaos around me. No distractions, no loud conversations, and no one on speaker phone next to you. It is just a much better experience overall. I would highly recommend Anastasia if you are looking for someone professional, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. Definitely worth trying for yourself.
