I had such a wonderful experience having my nails done by Hajer! She is such a lovely, warm & professional individual. I decided to book last-minute nail services with her despite her page not having reviews yet because the pictures of her work that were posted were flawless. I was visiting Charlottesville from NYC for a few days before I leave for Indonesia when I realized I had winter boot feet & needed a last-minute service! It seems that Charlottesville has a big problem with regulating unlicensed nail salons because some of the work at the cheaper places posted on Yelp is GHASTLY! I really thought I'd have to book at a day spa but I really lucked out with Hajer, her services are worth more than she charges and new clients get 15% off to boot. I got a mani with no polish and a gel pedi (she also removed an old gel pedi). I went in with my nails looking as bad as nails can look (it happens, I'm a touring musician ) and I opted out of getting fingernail polish because I use press-ons for convenience of traveling so much. She completely revitalized my nails, skin & cuticles without trying to upsell me on a service I didn't need. When she did my pedi, she did a beautiful job on the gel polish and she was very attentive to things with my feet; she addressed ingrown nail growth in my big toes with expert gentle precision and she was gentle with several scars I have on my left foot from some different surgeries. She also pointed out that she buys her products in-person (as opposed to online orders) to ensure she doesn't get counterfeit goods. I've travelled the world and had both world-class super expensive services at world-class spas and I've had really really bad services in Brooklyn as well. All in all, taking into account the price, the spa itself, Hajer's lovely spirit & her professionalism with the services, I think this may have been one of my best mani/pedis of my life.
