Amazing service! If you do get your nails done, I HIGHLY recommend booking with Linda, she's gentle yet gets the job done quickly and efficiently ! I got a chrome/ pink bottom coat!

Powder Dip

Tammy was amazing! I was able to walk in and be seen right away! She was very welcoming and did a fantastic job!

My mom invited me to join her for a pedicure at her favorite place: PKN Day Spa...YAY MOM (& YAY for me!)! Mai Le is awesome! 8 pedicure massage chairs, 6 dedicated nail stations. In 1 pic, a customer approved me to take/post her pic as she received both pedi and mani while she relaxed in the massage chair. COVID-handling: masks on, hand sanitizer present, and certificates of COVID prevention training displayed. PKN has great color choices! I chose a "psycho blue" for fun. Mai Le restored the smoothness of my feet and brought "life" back to my toes (long overdue bc of COVID!). PKN: highly recommend!

My artist, Tammy, painted little hearts for Valentine's Day! She did a great job. My mom and I visited and really enjoyed the experience. :)

I'm going to take the scenic route on this one, so bear with me. I promise there's a caboose on this train of thought. This is an interesting period of transition for me and my nineteen-year-old daughter, because she's almost grown, and I'm simply less of a pivotal force in her daily life. I don't see it as us growing apart or the notion that she'll no longer be "Daddy's little girl" kind of thing, I see it as life moving on, and the normal sequence in the passage of time. I didn't say I like it. I'm pretty sure there must be other fathers who feel this way, as long as we never have to reveal our true feelings in public or ask for directions while driving. What's interesting here is the sideline role fathers are apparently limited to during this particular time: Our main function now seems to be swooping in occasionally with manly-man cameo appearances, like replacing her obviously worn tires. ("There's no damn tread on them!" "Oh, Dad.") And here's a little secret - I really couldn't care less about cell phones, what I do care about is how she always responds quicker to my texts than my voicemails, and that's pretty much the reason I even bother having a thumb machine. Which brings us to PKN Day Spa: There are just so many sets of tires you need over a period of time, so every now and then, I'll text my daughter to meet me here to get our nails done. It's close to where she lives, I let them know we're coming, and they always seem happy to see us. I'm not familiar with their "day spa" services, but PKN is hard to beat as a mani-value - they have some kind of age policy thing where they're only charging me $15 for my daughter's French manicure, and $10 for my French-less ones. And for reasons I'm still not sure about, they personally seat me in one of their raised pedi-chairs while they stand up to do my mani. Whatever works for them is okay by me. One more thing: I've been going to the same family of manicurists on the other side of town for the last five years or so, they know I go to PKN occasionally, and sometimes they shake their heads and sigh at the results. I'll admit they have a point: Is this the best manicure I can get here in town? No. But is PKN a good place to hang out with my daughter, and wonder sometimes how interesting life has turned out to be? Yes.

Thanks to Wendy & all the great employees I've gotten to interact with over the past couple of years here, great place to come to shop & have a safe open space to get pampered!

I came here on my break because my usual place was closed and today was the only day I had time…read more I should have paid more attention and/or left when I realized this isn't a normal pedicure place. The chairs don't massage/recline and there's no tub of water with jets. The lady finally came over and we chatted and she said "do you have any concerns or anything?" And I said "if you can make sure this one is cut straight. Everyone cuts it at an angle" and showed her which one. She patted my leg and said "that won't happen here. Straight across here" I said "well you asked so I'm just telling you. Everyone cuts it crooked". To top it off, they ask you how much you want to tip. Let me just type it in myself. I HATE having to say it outloud. I told her and it added on a convenience fee. Very inconvenient for me to have to pay a fee to tip. Definitely will not be back. Edit to add that I'm aware the "convenience fee" doesn't go to the tech, that's not my issue. My issue is an unexpected, added fee regardless of how large or small.

For my very first visit to a Milk + Honey I booked a last minute cut with Jackie and couldn't have…read morebeen happier! From the moment I walked in the space was super inviting and everyone was super friendly. Jackie listened to what I wanted, and asked clarifying questions to really get to the bottom of just what would be best for my hair before giving feedback. She was incredibly knowledgeable- from cut, to style, to products to use, to my routine/maintenance at home. I usually feel a bit lost when it comes to my super fine, yet super thick hair, and she immediately put me at ease! I knew I was in good hands. I'll be heading back in a few weeks for some highlights and couldn't be more excited to return!

She was completely safe to be massaged on arms, legs,tummy, her back and neck. I WAS VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT. I am her mother who knows her intimately. She was denied any service. Secondly, I disclosed, with joy, that I had just beaten cancer, am cancer free and added I was just on a maintenance chemo pill. Hardly a means to denying me a massage. In fact a massage would have been very beneficial, considering. I was denied services. I have been to spas all over the world and have never had to endure such humiliating attitude. To accuse Nicole of having an open belt on her robe, when she was merely coming out of the massage room where she expected service and moved away, in shock, out towards the changing women's changing rooms. This is a modest girl who has a high regard for correctness. I am horrified that rather than an apology, I get a lecture letter on why you might have been right. The whole experience was so unethical and wrong in every sense. I can only shake my head in disbelief. Appauled.

1 Star Review - Luxury Nails…read more I had a very unpleasant experience at Luxury Nails. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt cold and unwelcoming. No one greeted me at the door. Instead, I was immediately warned not to take any photographs. There were no signs posted anywhere in the salon saying that photos or videos were not allowed, so the way it was said felt more like a threat than a polite request. It made the entire situation feel uncomfortable right from the start. I asked for a regular pedicure, which costs $43 -- already a very high price for a basic service. Unfortunately, the pedicure lasted less than 10 minutes. I actually timed it because it felt so rushed. For that price, I expected a relaxing and thorough service, but instead it felt like I was pushed through as quickly as possible. The technician was not friendly at all. I tried making polite conversation, but she barely engaged. The only thing she kept repeating was, "You only here four weeks?" over and over again, which made the interaction feel awkward and uncomfortable. What made the experience even worse was how roughly she handled my legs and feet during the pedicure. She was moving my legs very forcefully, almost as if she was angry. I truly did not understand what was going on, and it made me feel very uneasy and mistreated. When I brought my concerns to the manager and tried to explain why I was upset, the response was even worse. The attitude I received felt like, "just give us your money and leave quickly." There was no attempt to listen, apologize, or resolve the situation. The entire interaction was awkward and uncomfortable, and I left feeling confused about what had just happened. A pedicure is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable, but this visit was the complete opposite. Between the rushed service, unfriendly staff, rough treatment, and poor response from management, this was a very disappointing experience. I definitely did not feel welcome here and would not recommend this salon to anyone looking for a pleasant experiance. I also notice place was bare no customers. As though these people are not very happy and it made my experience awful I come to relax not to freak out. though they were an angry crowd they were not happy with each other or even working with each other. This by far was the most rushed quick hurry up type of pedicure I have ever had honestly.

However, today I went in for a pedicure and sns manicure but I didnt get Anna. My pedicure turned out great and for that I am grateful, however a different girl stepped in did my sns manicure at the same time as the pedicure and it turned out really crappy. Pictures to follow. Im not one to complain to someones face unfortunately but this is the second time this one person (whom I wont name) has done a manicure thats turned out horrible. She rushed through it, "couldnt find the color" that I originally requested, and did a really sloppy job - i have attached photos that show all or the ripples and bumps in the sns fingernails. I wont be going back here for another sns manicure since the quality seems to be a hit or a miss (dependent on technician) but would probably go back for a pedicure. Also when I paid the girl told me 58$ and then when she printed the receipt it said 66$. I know the tax added was not 8$...
