    Quick and easy to set an appt with! Rita is GREAT. Takes her time and always does an awesome job!

    I had a fantastic experience with Rita getting an under arm / Brazilian/ half leg. Her wax is home made with minimal and natural ingredients, and even though I hadn't shaved or waxed in years and had moments of pain, I walked away with my skin smooth as heck, totally in tact, soft and feeling great. I am visiting from out of town to see if I want to live here and Rita's is definitely a huge plus to this town! If I do land here or anywhere nearby I will definitely be making regular trips to Rita's!

    No irritation what's so ever! She uses her own homemade wax :) I originally came in for full arm and full leg and ended up adding upper lip and eyebrows lol she's an amazing human being. She made me feel so comfortable. I never cheat on my eyebrow lady but I gave Mrs. Rita Patel a chance, and she did not disappoint!! so happy! I also have to add PRICES ARE INCREDIBLE!!

    AFTER!

    Does she do walk-ins?

    Hi, I do but I prefer appointments since you do not have to wait when it is busy. Since it will be spring break, it will be quite busy mostly over weekends.…

    I've been going to Corey for about 4 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else. My hair always feels…read moreand looks fresh for when I step out to get on with my day. My curls continue to be happy and healthy because of his recommendations and care. It's a bonus that he's talked me out of a few bad hair choices and encouraged me to take a risk when I was feeling hesitant about a shorter haircut. If I could give Corey and his salon 7000 stars, I would. You won't be disappointed with him or anyone there- from the moment you walk in, you're treated like royalty. The vibe is always relaxed- trust that you'll be pampered!

    I've spent more than my fair share of time and money in salons across multiple cities and states,…read moreand Salon MINK is still one of my absolute favorites. I first came here as a Bobcat--IYKYK. Young and broke, but protective of my curls--and my very first stylist was Ray Reeves. The only things bigger than his talent were his personality and his heart. I trusted him instantly, and if you know anything about curls, that says everything. I moved away after graduation, but when I landed back within driving range, I didn't hesitate--clocking 45 minutes each way and passing plenty of other salons along the way. (Bombshell Beautique--you could never.) By then, Ray had passed, and I began seeing Corey Casey, his partner and co-owner. It was immediately clear why they built this place together. Corey is every bit as kind, talented, and grounded. I give him a general idea, he hands me a mimosa, and then works his magic. Shorter, longer, lighter, darker, touch-ups, tighter curls, or full blowouts--I've never left looking or feeling anything less than fabulous. From the neck up, anyway. One of the things I appreciate most is that Corey takes his craft seriously--ongoing education, advanced training, and a commitment to excellence not just for himself, but for the whole team. So no matter who you're booked with, you're in good hands. I even got my boyfriend to start coming here, because they've got a solid barber, too. The salon itself is always welcoming, always stylish, and somehow still relaxed. The staff is lovely, the product lines are legit, and the whole experience feels like a proper treat without ever being stuffy. If I had to complain? The parking lot! Tiny, cramped, and shared with other businesses. But hey--that's downtown San Marcos, so leave five minutes for creative parking. Ten if you've ever failed a driving exam. Also? The bathroom is a Dolly Parton shrine worthy of pilgrimage on its own. Suffice it to say: this salon understands the assignment. Sadly, I've moved away again and (begrudgingly) found a new salon and stylist. But there will always be a big, glamorous, perfectly highlighted place in my heart that holds Ray, Corey, and Salon MINK.

    I've sat on this review for quite a while before deciding to write it. The manicure itself was…read morefine. My nails turned out perfectly acceptable, and I actually liked the way they removed my previous dip manicure. Unfortunately, the customer experience was disappointing enough that I would not return. I called ahead to confirm they had time for a dip manicure and was told they did. When I arrived, I was directed to a chair and work immediately began on removing my old dip. Throughout the entire appointment, three different employees handled my nails, yet not one of them introduced themselves, asked my name, or attempted any conversation. In fact, no one even asked what color I wanted before beginning the service. Eventually, I had to find a color myself by looking through the salon's social media photos. When I pointed to a design they had posted and asked if it could be done with dip powder, I was told it would require a gel manicure instead. I then asked whether they had a similar color available in dip powder. Rather than answering the question, the technician dropped the color sample rings next to me and returned to working on my nails. Again, the manicure itself wasn't bad. The issue was the complete lack of customer interaction and communication throughout the appointment. The salon has a quiet atmosphere and a lot of potential, but I left feeling more like an object being processed than a customer receiving a service. Because of that experience, I would not return.

    Probably the most affordable nail salon in San Marcos! Super understanding staff and friendly…read more However my pedicure started to come off after 2 days of having it done, if you're looking for something affordable you'll definitely get it here

Booking was super easy, and when my job unexpectedly needed me earlier, she went out of her way to fit me in almost an hour early so I could still make it to work. The salon was clean, cozy, and welcoming. She took time to learn about my hair history, lifestyle, and goals instead of just focusing on the haircut itself. Throughout the appointment, she explained every product and technique she used, taught me how to better care for my curls, and even recommended affordable product options instead of only expensive salon brands. The haircut turned out amazing, and when I later realized I wanted it shorter, she squeezed me in the very next morning on short notice and fixed it for free. I've paid far more for curly cuts that weren't half this thorough. Absolutely worth every penny.

Emily worked quickly and efficiently while cutting my hair. She added a few long layers and preserved my hair length. She then washed and styled my hair.
