I've recommended DA to so many of my friends because they're just that good. The atmosphere is…read moreincredibly relaxing (I've honestly almost fallen asleep in the chair before), and the staff is always so kind and welcoming. I work full-time and my days are so busy, so this place has truly become my sanctuary. It's exactly what I was looking for in a salon in Miami. So many others that feel rushed, overpriced, or leave your nails worse off. At DA, I always leave feeling cared for and refreshed. I've been coming here for almost a year now and always book with my girl Nastia, she's amazing! Super quick, talented, and my nails last forever. Thanks to her, I was able to grow my natural nails out strong and healthy. People are always shocked when I say I don't have extensions. Plus, my cuticles have never looked better. My manicures usually last me 3-4 weeks easily (sometimes even up to 5-6). For pedicures, I go about every other month. If you're looking for a salon that's relaxing, high-quality, and genuinely cares about the health of your nails, I can't recommend DA enough!

I've been a regular client at DA Beauty Bar, which makes this experience particularly…read moredisappointing. My manicure and pedicure took approximately FOUR HOURS. While I was satisfied with how my nails ultimately looked, quality is only one part of a salon experience. Time and customer service matter too. Four hours for hands and feet is essentially half of a workday, in addition to the cost of the services. I arrived with a damaged toenail and specifically asked if that could be addressed first because it was my main concern. What was especially frustrating was that after already being there for hours, I was asked to wait even longer while the technician cleaned her station before I could leave. I contacted the salon privately before posting a review because I have been a loyal customer and wanted to give them an opportunity to address my concerns. Their explanation was that I had booked with a "regular master" rather than a "Top Master," that technicians work at different speeds, and that their policy does not allow refunds for completed services. I understand that technicians have different levels of experience and that a damaged nail can require additional attention. However, if booking with a regular master can potentially turn a manicure and pedicure into a four-hour appointment, I believe clients should be made aware of that when booking. I wasn't asking them to pretend the nail work was bad--it wasn't. I was asking them to recognize that the overall experience and excessive amount of time were not reasonable. After being a repeat customer, I expected a more meaningful effort to make the situation right. Unfortunately, I left feeling that my time and loyalty were simply not valued.

You get what you pay for. this is the line that describes this place…read more They work by membership, meaning you pay a month for an amount of points that you can use in services such as mani- pedi, wax and facials. The tanning booth is free for the members. Ive been a memeber for over a year and I have minimal complains. I go online, pick whoever I want out of the staff and schedule my appt. They are usually running about 5 min late, which is great because I'm always late anyways. they do chelac manicures, and acid peels too. for 40 bucks, i can not complain about the noise or the delay. in what other place in miami can you get a facial and bikini/leg wax for less than 40 bucks?

I sent them an email asking to cancel my membership with extremely constructive feedback as to why…read moreI was canceling. They did not reply to my email, did not apologize for the bad experience, and most importantly-- still charged me one week later for the membership I had canceled. I HATE giving bad social media PR to businesses as I am a startup business owner myself. However, when a company shows they are not accepting private feedback nor respecting customers' wishes to cancel, I have no choice but to use this opportunity to try to help others avoid having such a negative experience by providing feedback publically here. The manager seemed lovely--- I believe she is the manager, and did all of the talking with me as the employees can't because she is the only one who speaks English. The effort she was making was definitely appreciated. But unfortunately she was not the person doing my nails and something is extremely wrong with the way the nails technicians are getting trained at this salon.  I wasn't thrilled with the job that was done the first time--- it was sloppy, painted outside the nail lines with shellac, and started to chip after 3 days which is not normal for a shellac manicure. But the membership prices were really good, so I thought maybe if I got somebody else next time it would be better or maybe that shellac polish that I had picked out was a really old bottle and was just unpopular. Unfortunately, the mani/pedi I got the 2nd time was really bad...might be the worst I've ever gotten.  I always tip well regardless because I know people have bills to pay and they're relying on that.    --- The water for both my pedicure and manicure was cold. I have no cosmetology license, but even I know that warm water is non-negotiable when doing nails as it is responsible for opening up the pores and softening the skin.  Cold water hardens skin and closes the pores. Using tools on hardened skin is extremely dangerous and painful. ---The pedicure couch is not comfortable, and the customer is forced to hunch forward which is not relaxing.  But the icing on the cake was that my nail technician stacked 2 of these rubber things to support my foot, and they kept falling over and so did my foot.  She just kept restacking them like it was a normal occurrence.  I literally had to hold my feet up throughout the pedicure which strained my back. --- She was so rough with the tools and it REALLY hurt.  I've had hundreds of mani/pedis.  This HURT. The way she picked my cuticles...they weren't that bad and she literally attacked my toes and fingers! And to clean up the polish at the end of the pedicure, she dipped a metal SHARP tool in nail polish remover to clean around the nail. This tool is what is usually used to scrape off shellac gel after soaking fingers in acetone. OUCH.  Why is she using a sharp tool instead of a brush or the wooden stick to wipe nail polish off the delicate skin around my nails? --- NO lotion was used on the my hands or feet whatsoever!  A MANI/PEDI WITHOUT LOTION?! NO FOOT RUB OR HAND MASSAGE?! The minute with lotion is the best part and this salon does not do it!  And I left with rough feet and dry hands! I have NEVER had a mani/pedi with no lotion or at least oil if it's a really rural area. I guess there is a first for everything. --- I understand there's a language barrier, but she did not even say "Hola, como estas" to me! Not even a smile.  She saw I was struggling to plug in my phone in the outlet at the pedicure couch before we started, but she just watched me as I struggled climbing over things.  At least make the effort to say "Hi," "Where are you from" "You live here?" "How is the water." And had she tried to talk to me in Spanish, I would have tried to answer! - My nails were not filed right at all. Some of my nails were rounded, others were squared, and had sharp corners on the sides digging into my skin. One of my fingers she cut so low -- My nail beds were never pushed down. - They put two acrylic tips on my nails which had cracked from the previous job THEY had done. These tips fell off 2 days later. - 5 days later my fingers were still in pain so I ended up going to a dermatologist and spent $115 for that appointment to make sure there was no infection in my nails. The doctor advised me to not go to discount salons like this--- especially when getting SHELLAC manicures. - I went to a different salon to get my nails redone because it had all chipped off in less than a week and I wanted a legitimately cosmetology licensed professional to fix whatever this woman had damaged. I am SO REGRETFUL that I saw their billboard in Mary Brickell village and fell for their free lip wax with mani-pedi special! There is something extremely wrong with the way their nail staff is being trained and the fact that they never apologized after reading my email and still charged me is just unprofessional. BEWARE OF THIS SALON. NOT WORTH THE DISCOUNT.

What an AWESOME place…read more My fiancee and I have now postponed our wedding 3x as a result of Covid-19. However, we thought we'd at least do something special for the original day we were to get married. We decided to get all dressed up and go out for a fancy dinner. SO I thought, why not get my hair done. I showed the hair stylist my picture of the dress I planned to wear and she immediately came up with a hair style that would be perfect for this dress. She took care to do soft beautiful curls that framed my face. They stayed intact throughout the night and into the next day, without using any weighted hair spray (she did use a spray but it was light and didn't make my hair EVER feel cakey which is the usual outcome for me with hair spray). Not to mention, she was so incredibly sweet the entire time and very very safe. I was VERY impressed with the hair to the point I even bought a curling iron for myself the next day to attempt to recreate the look, but I definitely know for any professional event, I'll be coming back!!

She booked two appointments (for herself and her mom) and I booked three appointments (for myself, my mom and my sister). We've all had plenty of blowout experiences and to be honest, this was one of the worst. The place itself was fine, but the staff was not friendly. They ran late and were not super communicative. We didn't get a look book until we asked for one and then when we did, the blowouts were far from what we requested. There was one bathroom in the place and as others have shared, it was not the cleanest either. If you're desperate for a blowout, it's fine, but I definitely would not rush back.
