    Been going here about 3 years. The best place to get sns in the Birmingham area. They do great pedicures too.

    I had a very pleasant experience from the moment I walked in. There are many nail color selections to choose from. I was pampered from beginning to end. I arrived a few minutes early which I think was helpful. The people who work here are very friendly and actually talk to you unlike some other nail salons. The salon was clean as well. I was very happy with my experience and I would definitely visit again.

    The nails are a little bubbly, but only really noticed up close. They didn't turn out exactly like the inspo picture, but they're not bad. My thumb was cut in one spot, but other than that these turned out okay.

    Worst mani/pedi ever, it's been 24 hrs and there's still white glue or something around all my nails. Sloppy and rushed job, definitely don't recommend, a waste of over $100.

    A friend of mine recommended this nail salon to me. I was skeptical because I haven't had luck with finding places doing a great job on my natural nails. I was very impressed with the nail tech and the outcome of my manicure! I think I've found a new nail salon! Yay me!

    Nova nails comes highly recommended by my coworker. Tan is her nail guy! I got him on my first visit. Today I got Rose. I don't have a fav person yet but noticed that Tan is most requested. Everyone has been nice. No complaints.

    LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!! Best pedicure I've had in years! The massage chair was wonderful! They brought me wine! And my toes look great.

    Not super impressed, to be honest. I'm sure once the polish wears off of my skin, my manicure will look much neater. But I feel like my manicurist was a bit rushed from the shaping of my nails to my cuticles, to the final result. Plus, the nail station was covered with nail dust, and I don't think any of the nail tools were cleaned in between the last person and me. That's kind of gross. The ambiance of the salon is nice, and everyone who works there is nice and friendly. The polish itself looks great. Overall, there was a lack of attention to detail which really bugs me in a manicure, because I'm a detail person myself. I'm not scarred or anything, but I'm not impressed, either.

    I saw a friend of mine nails and immediately wanted to copy them. I made my way here and there was a bit of a wait. All of the techs got done about the same time but I waited until an older gentleman got me. I showed him the video of her nails and he had a hard time figuring out what I wanted and said they don't have it here. I told him she got a them done here. We eventually got it figured out. But they still aren't what I wanted. They are also sloppy as hell (see the pictures). I have a bubble in one that catches on my cotton clothes. And I literally and to dig all the excess off the finger tips and from under the nails. I expected better service based on what she told me and the reviews here. She said that the guy who I described normally only do gel nails so I don't know why he was allowed to do my nails. I had the SNS dip powder with a holographic-powder finish. For $55 I am not as happy as I thought I would be.

    I'm a college student and had to move away from home and my favorite nail salon. I use the SNS Nails and everywhere I looked no one close to me did them, I was heartbroken. I found Nova Nail Salon and found out they did the dipping powder. I was still anxious to try a new nail salon out of state. I'm so glad I did. They do an EXCELLENT job with it and make you feel welcomed. I'm so glad I found my new nail salon for when I'm at college.

    Love the richness of this SNS color and my one  little something special. Think this is my go to for the winter!

    This is the most unprofessional business I have ever been to. I've been to maybe 3 sessions prior…read moreto my last session. My last session was ok nothing out the usual. Once it was time for my next session I didn't get a reminder so I called the store to find out my appointment time. The supervisor answers and informed me that my account was placed on hold. I ask why and she says that the last person to wax me says I asked her for inappropriate activity. Highly upset I asked the supervisor to have that person investigated because that was an accusation and I was highly upset. I went on to let her know how disgusted I was and upset. No one reached out to me to discuss prior but was quick to accuse me. I asked if there were any recordings of conversation and there isn't any. I asked for the owner to reach out. I was told I would be contacted. I called a total of 4 times with no return call or owner. Finally after 3 weeks of no contact the supervisor calls back and says my membership was canceled. Take in mind there was no investigation done to protect the customer from false accusations. The owner never reached out and I did all the communication on something that was 100% inaccurate and unprofessional. Not only did you not protect your customer but you did not hold your staff accountable for falsely accusing.

    I have visited this sugaring studio for probably the past 3 years. Overall, the front desk staff is…read morefriendly, facility is clean, and I usually have a great experience with one particular sugarist--Katy Mathis. My reason for giving two stars is because prior to Katy, my experience at LA Bikini was consistently inconsistent due to the high level of turnover with staff members. Some were rude, some inefficient, some apathetic. But when I met Katy, I knew she was someone I had to lock in as a permanent service provider. FYI ladies--when you're getting hair ripped out of your hoo ha, having a relationship with the person doing it is paramount. You have to be comfortable with the person doing it, and the staff at LA Bikini seemed to be so unpredictable before Katy that I almost stopped going altogether. Now, to reach my point for giving two stars: as a business, why the hell would you sever the relationship with one of your longest-employed service providers with whom your loyal clients have built a relationship over the years? As a customer, I feel like the decision to take away someone who provided me with such excellent service was a poor business move. Because I do not trust the service of others who are currently employed by your facility (not saying that they're not excellent staff members--I just don't know them or have a relationship with them due to the extremely high turnover I've observed over the years as a customer), I can no longer patronize this establishment. And that makes me sad, because it's not easy to build a relationship with someone who will be responsible for accessing our most sensitive areas. I don't know where Katy is now, but just due to the sheer lack of consideration that LA Bikini has shown towards its customers in severing a relationship with someone highly valued by those who pay them to employ people they trust, I'll no longer be attending this establishment.

    I randomly found this place and I'm very happy that I did. First and foremost, Salima is so nice!…read more I went in for a wax and she ended up doing my eyebrows too. Let me just say I was a little bit worried as I have never done my eyebrows professionally before (should I have admitted that? *sweat*). It's just that I don't really have that much eyebrow to begin with and I've always been afraid that professionals would take too much or make me look crazy lol. However, Salima calmed my fears and simply shaped my eyebrows for me. Nothing crazy or dramatic, and they definitely look neater now. I guess there is a reason why you go to the professionals lol! As for the wax, Salima did an excellent job there as well. I arrived for my appointment and there was no wait. Not even 10 minutes later, I was done. She recommended the chocolate wax, which I have never heard of before. It smells fantastic!! The only problem is that now I crave chocolate, haha. The Look is pretty new and they are still working on getting their signage out front, so you could potentially miss it if you are not looking for it. If you are facing Publix from the street, they are on the left side of the building. You should definitely check it out before it becomes well known and get busy. I am bringing my SO back for some eyebrow shaping this week even though he doesn't know it yet!

    This place is horrible! I went in to get my eyebrows waxed, and she kept insisting on getting them…read morethreaded. I told her no. She talked me into getting a Brazilian wax. BIG mistake! It was my first time! I left there in so much pain (which I knew some pain was to be expected) and when I got home, I found quite of bit of hairs she missed! And, the worst part of it all, she ripped the wax strip so hard down in my Southern region, it tore off a small piece of my skin. I was bleeding! I had to call another wax shop for advice on how to treat this, and how to get this "fixed". It was a rushed job, and I'll never be back! Oh, and she didn't even care to take care of your backside, which is part of a Brazilian. And, when she got finished, she handed me a baby wipe and said, "Here, clean yourself up". Now, I'll be going to a more reputable wax center and paying them to fix her disaster, but it's worth it! DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID! You get what you pay for!

    I've been doing hot wax for years and decided to try Sugaring. I'm so glad I made the change. It is…read morea lot less painful and I don't get read when I get waxed. Bre came very highly recommended so I decided to use her. It was pretty quick and painless, and I was not Red afterwards. This is located in a mini mall next to Phil Sandoval's and Tre Luna. Location is really nice in the bathroom was very clean If you haven't tried sugar, waxing before I would definitely suggest it

    I was new to sugaring 6+ months ago... I have been an avid 'traditional' waxer for a good 15 months…read morebefore making the shift to sugaring. Honestly, I was nervous. I didn't know what sugaring was... but it was new. OMG. Y'all. While the end result is the same (smooth hair-free skin) the 'how' is different. Mostly painless. No irritation. Quick. ROOM TEMP SUGAR - no more 'burning' wax. For the last 2 appointments, I've had Reema. And I love her. For all of the right reasons - she engages in chit-chat and let's me babble (it's how I pass time and forget what we're actually doing). She's super fast but also expertly thorough. She runs on time and even early if you're there before your appointment start. I've had other great sugarista's too... but Reema is now my girl. My only negatives are (1) turnover seems high which means that my sugarista may change without notice and (2) it's REALLY pink. Like really. They claim to provide mens services, but the pink would be a huge turn-off if I was looking for mens sugar services.
