I had no idea what to expect when I set up an online appointment for Kroma nail Bar. A friend,…read moreMayra, thought, after I experienced numerous disappointment, in the Madera area, that this establishment be more acceptable! Mayra was absolutely correct. I set an appointment for 11am. I arrived at 10:45 fully expecting to wait until or maybe even after 11am. The place was full! I checked in and was seated immediately at a pedicure chair. Within a few minutes the technician was ready to start. I believe her name is Kayla. She is, by and far, one of the best pedicurists I have had in the last 60 years! I kid you not. I have some mobility issues due to an accident that resulted my right foot being crushed and reconstructed with an appliance for toes, heal, and ankle. Subsequently There are pain and nerve issues. Most technicians ignore my pain no matter how I prepare them. This technician looked at my foot with the scaring and immediately, without my prompting, took great care to do a great pedicure without one pain issue. This makes a great deal of difference for me to know I can hopefully engage her serves going forward. The atmosphere, from the receptionist, to all of the other technicians (about 15), was calm, inviting, with a sense of belonging for this business. Something I didn't expect given the community and area the establishment is in. And I would like to further say the clientele were from all walks of life. And from all age levels. As a senior citizen this means a lot to me. Sometimes nail salons are young to mid forty clientele - and the atmosphere can be shunning. Not at Kroma Nail Bar. Excellent experience! And Dutch Bros is close by. That made the 28 minute drive to that side of town well worth it too.

After trying soooooooo many other nail salons over the years I finally found a place I truly love…read moregoing to. Kroma Bar is a beautiful place to be in. The decor inside is art deco - gold accents mixed with calming dark green walls, a carnation pink accent wall, and sparkly crystal chandeliers. It's just the kind of style I like. They offer free champagne, mimosa, or soda for you to sip which is a lovely little treat. One of the most important reasons I am so happy going to Kroma Bar is because they shape my nails exactly how I want them and that is no small task! I want them short and straight on the tips with just a little bit of a natural curve on the edges. I also like for the acrylic to appear thin enough to almost look natural, NOT thick and raised up near the cuticle. Kroma's nail estheticians really listen and check in with me as they work on my nails. I LOVED how my nails came out every time! Finally I have a place I can trust to consistently raise up to my expectations. Another really nice thing about going to Kroma Bar is how wonderfully they treat my littles. For fun I have taken them there with me. We've had both manicures and pedicures. They pamper my kids as much as they pamper me. It makes them feel special and cared for and it makes me feel good to see them happy. My kids like it there so much they enjoy going even when they are just waiting for me. I've seen other kids there too and they always look comfortable and happy. It's nice to be somewhere where I'm not made to feel like people are annoyed that I brought my kids with me... and there ARE places like that where customers and service people alike act that way, unfortunately. I've been going there for 6 months now, the longest I've ever stayed with one salon, and cannot imagine going anywhere else!

They were wall to wall busy but still got me seated in a pedicure chair in under 10 minutes. Gel Pedicure was wonderful, quick, and affordable! There was a bit of a wait for the manicure... I didn't mind because they were so busy and the gal before me got the cutest intricate design so it extended the wait a bit. (Also, it was my fault for a last minute appointment!) As soon as it was my turn the manicurist who has been in the business for 10 years took great care of me! I love my manicure & he suggested the white polka dots! In total my visit was $91 with card & $20 for cash tip! (Basic gel pedicure & acrylic overlay fill) Next time I'll be sure to bring cash for payment as it's preferred but luckily they accommodated me! At small business I prefer to pay cash anyways!

I'd highly recommend coming here! Everyone was nice and I got exactly what I wanted.

It was most unfortunate I did not have a good experience at this business. Especially since I live…read morea few miles away. I really wanted to find a reliable, pedicure, place near by. From the time I arrived until the time I left I did not feel as though I was welcome nor did I feel I had any added value to this business. I had set up an appointment for myself and as a treat for a friend. My friend on the other hand was treated quite well, engaged with, and what actually seemed above and beyond. Which I was delighted about because I wanted her to feel special. On the other hand there were feelings of sadness because I wasn't feeling why there was such negative actions towards me. When the technician started to do my pedicure she got quite rough with my right foot. I tried to explain to her that the inside of my foot was an appliance with my sling covering it. That it didn't bend like a normal foot. She jerked my foot down causing excoriating pain. Then I tried to explain my large toe joint is a bionic joint. And can't be bent back to far. She literally pushed my toe back causing pain. I then stopped saying anything and just wanted the pedicure to be over. During the toe nail clipping she cut it too short catching the skin and caused my large toe to bleed. She put a liquid on it to stop the bleeding g which I read on the bottle as some kind of GLUE! All I could do is get done, pay for each pedicure, and get out of that building as fast as I could because I just wanted to cry. I asked my friend if it was just me and was being overly sensitive? She said no that she was very surprised with the treatment. Again, very unfortunate all of the way around. And to this day I truly have no idea what happened. I am elderly but I am not a Karen of any type. So buyer beware if it is a first time visit for you.

What I enjoy the most is the atmosphere at the salon. The other stylists are always joking and laughing with one another, and they make you feel like part of the family, even if you are not sitting in their chair. It's a great place to get your beauty needs met while also getting in plenty of laughs and walking away feeling like a Queen! I used to drive to Fresno to get quality services, but no need now that Charmed Salon is in my home town! The pictures I've included are just a few of the services I've had with Emily.

UTIMATELY MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN…read more First the GOOD. She did a very nice cut and style every time. The shampoo smelled great and the place is clean. Prices are typical of most professionals. The BAD- Sometimes her color or haircut job turns out great or even better than expected, but it might not be what you actually asked for. She might try to say that it IS what you asked for or what you showed her. She might tell you that your hair can't get the color or style you asked for but only after she already did something else without discussing it. Lastly it might turn out worse than if you used a box of Loreal hair dye and did it yourself. Which is what a friend and I spent the evening doing to my hair after she ruined my previously beautifully balayaged hair. I originally just figured I had one bad appointment out of a few good ones and that she must of had an off day, so I gave her another chance a couple months later but I was very careful to talk about what I wanted and ask questions to be sure we were on the same page. I won't be going back and I wish I hadn't given her another shot! My guess is, I am not the only one who has had this experience! Please speak up if you have a bad experience or a good one. Madera is small and we should give our business to the professionals that appreciate it and do right by their customers. Her attitude about the whole ordeal when I tried to discuss it with her was like she didn't need my business so she didn't care how I felt about it!
