It's disappointing that every time I come here, I get cut -- this is the second time I came to this salon because it's conveniently close to my house. However, the technician cut me so much she had to place a powder on me to stop the bleeding. As you can tell, the nail polish application was also streaky and uneven as well. It's unfortunate because some of the technicians seem really nice but given this is the second time this happened, I've just accepted I need to find another place

Fantastic massage chairs - because who doesn't need a massage?
Judy H.

I decided to try out this nail salon for a change of pace, and I'm happy I did. It's a small shop that shares space with a watch repair store (which is great too). I didn't have an appointment, but they happily accommodated me. They sat me in a soothing massage chair and offered me a beverage and some candy. Helen approached with a welcoming smile, introduced herself, and began work on my glorious pedicure experience. From the sugar scrub to the hot stone leg massage, richly scented moisturizing cream, paraffin wax (my fave part), to the expertly executed polish, this pedicure was a pampering treat. Helen did an excellent job and was so sweet. Bonus: they have free WiFi and free parking (although only a limited amount of spaces so street parking would be the alternative). I found it to be clean and well-run. I'm so happy I tried this nail salon, and I'll definitely be back.

Cateye acrylic nail
Bella H.

Was able to get an appointment same day around 6PM here on a weekday which I really appreciated. The parking lot is fairly small and they shared a building with an another store, but you don't really tell as they're both separated. The staff was really warm and welcoming when I walked in and the lady who did my nails was very friendly and kind. She suggested that I get the cat eye for my nails after asking for chrome, which ended up looking really pretty in the first time I've tried this design. I would say a few of my cuticles felt a little raw. So next time I would just ask them to be a little bit gentler but overall I think pricing was fair. The location was clean and I'm really big about the experience so it was nice to chat while getting my nails done.

One of the most affordable and amazing manis and pedis you can get! Would skip the fancy Santana row assembly nail shops and come down the road to perfect nails.

Honestly, this is one of the best nail salons I've ever been to. I've been to tons of nail salons across different states, and I can't tell you how much I feel welcomed here. Trust me when I say I have brought them very complicated designs. They are so patient and warm, and they also go to great lengths to ensure you like the designs and execution. I've been here twice now and tried 2 different nail technicians, and both were so wonderful. I am definitely coming back here next time!!

Had a great experience here. I got a full set with builder gel and a design by Helen, with Ann helping bring the design together. Both had great attention to detail and very steady hands. I also had a gel pedicure with callus removal by Tina, which was excellent. This was my first visit and the salon was very clean and comfortable. I appreciated the small touches, like a stand for my phone while they worked, being greeted with coffee from a custom machine where you can choose your drink, and they even offered me a complimentary cuticle oil at the end. There's also a huge selection of colors to choose from on the wall. I'll definitely be back. The pricing was very reasonable.

Great massage

What a lovely place. I've been on the hunt for a nail salon that is a pleasant experience for what seems like years. Goose chase all over the bay area. I'm definitely hard to please. I'm aware. Anyways I like that it's a one stop shop. I had all my services done here and it was great. I had my lashes done first then came out for a pedicure and gel manicure. Anne who did my manicure was very talented in nail art. I would return here! The ladies were very nice and they work hard. They gave me little gifts and tea. Great service, beautiful salon. They also have a table you can put across your lap during your nail service. I like touches like that so I can put my phone or computer there. Prices were reasonable so I left a good tip. I don't mind, more likely to get a good tip if you don't price gouch on the front end. Anyways thank you ladies

I have been here a few times now and everyone is so so friendly! They pay attention to detail and are so kind. Ann did my nails today and she did so well! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she gave me exactly that. Pedis are always so relaxing as well. I love the clean environment as well.

My first impression was that the shop is very clean and organized. I like that all the floors and chairs are white so you could see dirt or stains. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon so it was pretty much empty. I had requested a mani/pedi and since they weren't busy I had 2 ladies working on my nails. I noticed that the woman working on my hands was moving quite quickly and 2 days later her lack of attention to detail showed. I got gel and a few of my nails are already peeling, barely 2 days later!!! Idk why she rushed because they're weren't busy at all. But I'm pretty disappointed as I don't get my nails done often so to treat myself and have it be terrible quality is frustrating. My lady who worked on my feet did a much better job. Her name was Kathy. She was super sweet and definitely took her time. I only got regular polish on my toes and that's lasting longer than the gel.

Came back for new nails. Bella was sick, so Wendy did my mani and Helen did my pedi. They were both so sweet and helped me pick out the colors. They just got cat eye gel paints and pictured is one of the pinkish-brown hues. Loved how they turned out! Also get yourself a deluxe pedi - the stone massage and heat wraps were so relaxing and made my skin feel smooth afterwards. Relaxing atmosphere, videos and music.

I visited today and had a great experience. I showed them my inspiration picture, and they matched it exactly. I'm really happy with the result and will definitely come back!

I've been to Perfect Nail & Spa a few times- I actually drive from Santa Cruz for the pedicure services. Definitely recommend due to the cleanliness and attentiveness. I had scheduled my partner and I to come for our pedi services, that time I also booked acrylic nail service (consulted with the gal that is usually at check out). They recommended I do the dip nail, so that's what I asked for. Specifically I wanted the Hailey Bieber nails. The said they could do it on the dip nail, but that it was $45 for the dip and $25 for the chrome effect. Because of the events I was getting ready for I accepted. I was disappointed with the outcome since the chrome effect did not last more than a few hours. I'm not sure if I did something wrong. The team only used a clear/glittery dip powder in my nails. When I was asking for the chrome I was told that it was the style I wanted (which it wasn't). I ended up just paying for it because I didn't feel understood, even with a reference photo. I will say, I've kept the nails for now 3 weeks and there is no lifting or sign of them coming off. That is huge! I think it speaks to the quality. That day I paid for $195 for my nails, one gel pedicure, and another reg polish pedicure. I'm bummed since I was enjoying being at a nail salon where it was clean. I am going to try this salon again in the future since I think there was a misunderstanding.

A little sad because I tried making an appointment today with Cherice, who I've been going to for…read moreyears. I didn't see her name so I called the store & found out she is no longer with EWC. I had a horrible experience at the Curtner location years ago where a new esthetician kept going over the same spot over & over & over again. I switched to the Coleman location and I was so happy to find Cherice. I'm not too talkative, so I appreciated that she knew not to make too much small talk.. she was quick & efficient. Now I'm on a hunt for a good esthetician. Overall, everyone that I have encountered at the Coleman EWC is friendly & welcoming. I hope I can find myself another esthetician that I will like as much as I liked Cherice.

I wish I had a better experience, but I unfortunately did not. I picked any waxer when I scheduled…read moremy appointment and was booked with Marianahi. A few minutes into the wax, she begins to ask me how often I exfoliate. From there, she goes on to say that I don't exfoliate enough, how important exfoliation is, and how she can tell that I don't exfoliate enough (I guess from my hair, idk). She then asks what products I use and how often I use them. I forgot the name of the exfoliant I use in the shower and when stating that, Marianahi just laughs. The comments about exfoliation continued for half of my waxing time. It was extremely repetitive and honestly left me feeling odd. I didn't know what to say after a certain point of her continuing to talk about how important exfoliation is. Aside from that, she stated that she could not get all of the hairs on my legs due to lack of exfoliation. I wasn't aware of how much hair was remaining that she couldn't get as I couldn't see my legs, but she continuously stated that my lack of exfoliating was the reason she could not take out all of my hairs. It wasn't until I went home that I noticed a majority of my hair still there, and I found it hard to believe that not exfoliating as much as Marianahi prefers is why my legs still have most of the hair still on it. I had to shave my legs and felt like I wasted so much money on my wax. In addition to this experience, when I checked out, the lady at the front desk was really trying to sell me on a wax package stating that I would save a lot of money and get a few free waxes. Even after I stated no several times, she still continued to try to sell me on the packages, to which I still said no. When she finally was able to accept that I wasn't interested, she wanted to rebook my next appointment to which I stated I only wanted to rebook for 1 service since my hair doesn't grow back that often in other places. She seemed as though she didn't understand what I was saying and was in disbelief. All in all, I'm not sure if this is a universal experience at European Wax or just this location, but I absolutely will not be back. I might go to another location one day, but I'm skeptical of even doing that from my experience here.

Came in for a brow was with Serena and had a great experience…read more She was super personable and my brows looked amazing! She filled in my brows, taught me some new techniques and helped me stock up on products. Highly recommend Benefit brow bar if your brows need some love!

I haven't been coming back regularly after Sam has left. It took me a while to find Jacqueline, but…read moreit seems like she has left as well. With that said, I wasn't sure who to book for my brow appointment this time, so I went ahead and booked with Jessica, and it turned out to be the worst experience ever. My appointment was from 11:40 - 12:00, but Jessica did not show up until 11:46. No apologies, just "thank you for waiting." Then, she proceeded to tap on her iPad aggressively after I told her that I've checked-in already. (Thanks to the only technician who was present at the time. She was with a client, but came over to get me checked-in.) Before Jessica started working on my brows, another customer came by and Jessica told her that it would only take her 8 minutes, and she can take her after she is done with me. After Jessica was done tapping on her iPad aggressively, she didn't sanitize her hands nor did she wore gloves. At first, I thought gloves are no longer a requirement, but I saw the other technician wore gloves. Not only was she aggressively tapping her iPad, she was also aggressive when she finally worked on my brows. Every step she did on me, it pushed me back a little. It was impossible to hold still in the chair. When Jessica finished the first brow, she mumbled something that I didn't hear, then I felt the mirror on my hand. She asked me to check my brow, then she proceeded to work on the other brow. The whole process didn't even take place 8 minutes, only 6. (I was keeping track of time.) The past appointments always ended with aloe gel, but Jessica did not apply a layer of aloe gel on me this time. I was really contemplating whether I should tip or not, but I did regardless. I handed Jessica $10 and asked for change, she gave me 2 $5. I've always tipped $5 even when brow wax was $22. To be honest, I don't the service today was worth a $5 tip. Not sure if I'll ever come back again. If I do, I definitely wouldn't book Jessica again.

I've been coming to this location for about 4 years now and have experienced MANY different waxers…read more They have a high turnover rate. However, lately I've been lucky enough to get Mary Jane (MJ) the last few times I've come in and she is great! She is easy to chat with, tries to be as painless as possible and really pays attention to detail. Which I appreciate when you are paying $70+ for a single service. The receptionists are always friendly too. Inside has a calm vibe with a few chairs. Nothing too glam.

After almost 3.5 years of going to this location at EWC, I can no longer support this business…read more After being inappropriately touched and handled by an inexperienced "licensed" waxer, I took the time and steps to inform both management and corporate, only to find out that the waxer faced no disciplinary action and was not fired. What made the situation even more frustrating was the way corporate handled the follow-up. I received a random phone call from corporate, where my name was repeatedly pronounced incorrectly, only to be informed that they were closing my case. There was no meaningful resolution or explanation of what was actually being done to address the situation. I was also ghosted by the manager of this branch when I asked for an update regarding the issue and was completely ignored when I was at the front desk this weekend, despite being told that I would not be treated differently because of what happened. I am extremely disappointed with the outcome of this situation and honestly shocked by EWC's standards and lack of accountability when it comes to protecting their clients. Clients should be able to feel safe and comfortable during their appointments, and waxers should be properly knowledgeable about safe and appropriate waxing procedures, appropriate topics to discuss with clients, and, most importantly, appropriate and safe touch. After almost 3.5 years as a client, I never expected to be treated this way or to be so disappointed by how this situation was handled.
