The first time (in Corpus Christi, TX) was incredible, the second time (in Pensacola, FL) was honestly traumatizing.... So so bad. so going into this appointment, a few weeks before my wedding, I was terrified. From the moment I met Ally, she completely put me at ease. She was so friendly, patient, and listened to every single concern and worry I had. I was very upfront that I'm on tretinoin and that I use a tanning bed, and Ally was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful about it. She adjusted her approach, chose threading instead of waxing, and it completely changed the game for me. I usually break out after waxing my brows, and this time I had zero irritation whatsoever. My brows turned out exactly how I hoped. Beautiful, clean, and natural. I will absolutely be going back to Ally and highly, highly recommend her, just like so many of the other reviews do.

Edit rating. Downgrade 1 star because in less than 24 hours, my thumb nail has chipped…read more New in town by 3 weeks, this was my first nail appointment in New Bern. This salon is located in a nondescript strip mall. The salon is very clean and there's a small play area for both employee's and customer's children. They have a HUGE selection of gel and standard polishes, chrome and other nail finishes (but I'm basic, lol). The staff is super friendly. I called ahead but told to come anytime and I was able to walkin, though they did get busy while I was there. I like that they offer Sunday hours and (at least on Sundays) plenty of easy parking. My pedi & mani were done by the same person. I really liked the fact that they did the main and pedi separately, vs rushing the process with two techs working on you at the same time. Like the rest of the staff, my tech was really nice. My gel pedicure was great. But when it came to my fingernails, it seemed like the tech had no idea how to trim and file short nails. It was awkward and uncomfortable. The leg and hand massages were meh. And although there's signage asking customers to keep cell calls to a minimum so as to ensure a peaceful experience for others, one of the employees (sitting in one of the pedi chairs) was blaring a video on her phone. The price, before tipping, was $90 for two standard shellac main/pedi services. All-in-all, an okay experience but will try out a few other places before determining my permanent salon.

Lovely, straightforward pedicure with all the necessaries plus a fantastic massage. I went back a few days later for a dip manicure as my nails were looking a little rough, and Phil was phenomenal! I've been getting dip manicures for a while now, and his technique is top notch. If we're ever back in town, a trip to Savannah's nails will be mandatory. Highly recommend!

Warning: Hidden Charges and No Accountability…read more I booked a basic gel fill-in ($50-$70, reasonable given a few broken nails). At checkout, I was slapped with a $90 charge for a "special gel" I never requested, never agreed to, and was never told about. This is straight-up bait-and-switch. I called the owner, who initially admitted staff should be transparent about pricing and promised this would be fixed in the future. Sounds great--until I asked for a refund for the service I did not ask for- still happy to pay for the initial booked service. She refused. Flat-out. No explanation, no compromise, nothing. Do not trust this place. Hidden charges, misleading practices, and zero accountability. I've been getting my nails done for 10+ years and have never been treated this way. Walk away before they double-charge you for something you never agreed to.

EXCELLENT attention to detail and worth every penny. You can book online easy peasy just through their website and Square. I got a same day appointment too!

Best pedicure I've had in YEARS (from WA, CA, IL, to NC)

Between regular spa visits and at home care, my skin has improved so much, I have a brand new face in comparison to where we started. Mandi has done my body waxing, hydra facials, micro-channeling with pro-cell, and so much more. The spa is decorated beautifully, it smells amazing, soothing sounds throughout. Mandi also has this calming effect, I don't know what it is with her but as soon as she starts working with her hands, within moments you'll feel like you're on a cloud, decompressing, stress free, and deeply relaxed. Don't hesitate to book an appointment! She will not disappoint!

She straightened my hair but when it was time to cut, i was asked to stand for the hair cut... which iv never been asked to do before. Another older women was getting her hair done and she even asked why i was standing? the owner walked by and said because i have long hair ( it was middle of my back.) Day after the cut ic after i straighten it, its uneven. Yup i wont be back... so done and $30 for the cut... nope. Not worth the money. My stylist wasn't talkative and she would ask me questions for small chit chat but it would end when i answered the question. Blah. Older post: They do a great job at taking appointments and checking to see if your still coming. However the last 2 times i got my hair done i left with neck pain that lasted for weeks. They pull my hair too rough while in the sink. I dont think i will be back because they are too rough.

When I made a follow-up appointment to come back, I asked her if perhaps I should make the appointment with the other stylist and she said no she could handle it. As she started to cut my hair, I asked again, if perhaps her the other stylist shouldn't be consulted. She said no she could handle it. The results: I am either going to have to wear scarfs/hats or get a wig. She said she only cut a half and inch, but my hair has no style. I have never had such a bad haircut in my entire life. She should not be allowed to cut and style hair. How she ever got licensed is beyond my comprehension.
