Acrylic nails

Once again, Loan killed it! This place is always peaceful and accommodating and Loan is my favorite! I love how she takes her time to make things perfect.

The Grey color that I said I did not like.

I've had my nails done here about five times now, and unfortunately, my most recent visit was a very disappointing experience. I asked for a blue cat-eye design (I'll include photos for reference), but the color turned out gray instead of blue. Before the technician applied the second coat, I politely let her know that I wasn't happy with the color. Instead of offering a solution, her response was, "Well, I already did one coat on all 10 fingers." I explained again that I didn't like the color and was hoping we could fix it, but my concerns were completely dismissed. There was no effort to accommodate my request or make sure I left happy with the service. Despite being unhappy with the final result, I still paid the full price because that's what's expected of customers. I just wish that same level of accountability and customer service was expected from the business. If a customer respectfully expresses that they're unhappy before the service is finished, there should at least be an attempt to correct the issue rather than dismissing their concerns. Workers name was Lin H.

Horrible

I promise guys I'm not a Karen. Which is why I didn't complain in the spa but first time there and the lady who did my toes I could tell she was new but I spent $70 for the Nirvana pedicure the experience was good but she f upped my shit it actually looks so bad and as a brokie that just wanted to treat herself I am very dissatisfied and disappointed. It looks horrible. I spent $70 on this. $70!!!!!!!!! It looks horrible. I will not be coming back

We love this salon. Especially for pedicures. The salon is clean and the staff is always very nice! The pedicures are reasonably priced and last a long time.

Basic gel manicure

This was a really good nail salon. I was a walk in and was welcomed in and taken right away. The color selection is so good. The music is nice. The salon was clean and quiet and the nail technician I had was very nice. Her attention to detail was really nice. My nails look great and I will come again. I'd recommend to anyone.

Nails

I went into this salon for a nail fill. The tech asked me what I would like, and I showed her a picture of what I wanted. I was under the assumption that this service was $65, and I asked her about any additional charges. She said there would not be any. But when I went to pay, my total was $82!! And when I asked about the price the young lady at the desk was VERY VERY rude. She implied that I couldn't pay for it, but I was simply wanting and explanation for the price difference!! She said there were extra charges to do my fill, very snarky. I will NOT be coming back and I will be disputing this charge. I am very unhappy.

Lots of seating available.

I made an appointment on line early in the morning and they called me back later that they could take me in at my requested time. I arrived and was promptly seated and my mail technician was Han. She was very efficient and gave me a wonderful manicure and pedicure. I asked to a paraffin wax also for my hands and it was $15 extra, with the message lotion on my arms, that normally is standard with a manicure. When it was time to pay, there was a notice on the receptionist table that there was a 2.5% charge on your total bill, if you paid by credit or debit card. I paid by debit as I did not have $91.72 in cash with me. With the added charge, and a reasonable tip, that just seemed unnecessary to me, the patron. I understand that they had just gotten new message chairs, but that is the cost of doing business and this charge for using a card, just seemed wrong.

Tortoise shell full set

Very clean, great service, and incredibly done nails. 10/10 experience getting a tortoise shell full set and deluxe pedicure. Definitely coming back!

Valentine inspired nails with bows that's been on for 2 weeks. Money definitely well spent.

Last salon I went to my bows, and pearls came off within a day. But came here and the tech made sure and guaranteed my bows won't come off. It's been two weeks and bows still on love my nails. Very calming as well while getting your nails done

Been here about three time. The dip manicure skills are not great. All three appointments looked like thick crap, very THICK edges. I pointed out and they just don't seem to care. Can't say I would recommend. It really seems nail salons don't want return customers

All the nail colors!!
Keith B.

Place is always busy, but they always have a chair available!! I get the signature pedicure. I like their massage chairs. Mai is a GREAT Nail Technician

Wow! This place is a treat!

My nail tech was fantastic. I appreciated that the tools used came out of one of those blue sanitary packs (post service I was offered the files that were used for my feet and toes to take home), and the products used were quality too. The scrub smelt delicious (fall/pumpkin season inspired) and felt perfect (not too rough, not too delicate). The polishes offered are Ella & Mila (I don't recall what the gel offerings were). I got the most expensive pedicure available at the time (#TreatYoSelf) as I was in town for a wedding and wanted to do something a little luxurious. After tax it was $75. Yes Natural Nail Boutique is BY APPOINTMENT ONLY but if there's no appointments available you can always try checking the following day (that's what I did; I checked on a Wednesday with no luck and then when I looked again on Thursday there suddenly was a Friday appointment available). The vibe is luxury without being uppity. Wish we had a place like this in Reno, NV! What a treat!

I was seen and one of the lady's told me "we'll take your nails off, and if it hurts too much then we'll do a soak off instead". I was shocked and confused by this, but I continued with the service. The technician then ripped my nails off one by one. She placed a nail tip underneath my existing acrylic and used a fast, ripping motion to remove my nails. By the second nail I saw tons of blood, which she just said "I'm so sorry" and continued to rip my other ones off. I then looked closer at my bleeding middle finger to find multiple layers of my nail ripped off - completely uninhabitable for a nail tip to be put on for my new set. The entire experience of her ripping my nails off was extremely painful. I then told them I no longer wanted the service, just to please remove the remaining polish. She then, without letting me know, put a huge squeeze of nail glue on my open wound in my nail. It burned so bad and my nail was throbbing for a couple hours following. I am extremely heartbroken and disappointed. I wanted to have my nails done for this weekend, and not only did she damage my nails and ruin them completely, she took away the ability to even get my nails done for a few months until I let my nail heal. I understand mistakes happen - and I'm not sensitive to having a small cuticle cut every once in a while - but this was pure mistreatment. I am fully capable of taking my own nails off at home, which is why I choose to go to the salon and get a gentle soak off instead. I never once felt listened to nor felt cared for as a customer.
