I was skeptical about Kennedy's as it seemed to be trying too hard. Is the space nice? Yes Do they have a pool table? Yes Is it a high end experience? Not on your life Would I recommend it? Not on my life (cuts are so awful wouldn't dare try a shave) Such a shame - guess I need to keep flying back to Chicago for cuts

I would classify H&N as affordable luxury. I've enjoyed the experience and have generally had good…read moreto very good services. I recommend being a member vs à la carte services. The vibe is nice and treatment areas very relaxed, especially for feet and hands. A few ideas for improvement: stop the turnover and bring consistency to the phone call experience. How about start asking if you're a member or not and get the members info up and running to move the call along. I would also insist that H&N have a list of services with the cost of credits for each service. I have asked for that service/credit list a few times and have been told it doesn't exist. The only way to find this info is to sign in to their site and do a booking for a service. It wills be nice to have a cheat sheet with members' info. Therefore not a total frictionless five star experience.

Walking in I immediately noticed all the COVID precautions put into place such as plastic dividers, temperature check, masks being worn on all employees and extra sanitary measures. Everything was super clean and I felt comfortable the entire time I was there. The ladies there were super helpful in helping me choose a color. They took their time trying different shades of pink until they found the perfect one that suited me. The tools used for my manicure were taken directly out of the sanitizing machine and other new things such as buffers were used. As for the manicure they took their time and were super gentle during the process of cleaning and filing my nails. My gel manicure came out thin and even. Amazing service offered and I will be coming back!

Luxe Nail & Spa 2

Just had a manicure and polish, and the price was great ($11 for a manicure with no extra charge…read morefor polish). It was speedy too. I'm very happy with how it came out as I just wanted to experiment with nail shapes. The length is slightly shorter than I wanted, but that's my fault for not really knowing what length I wanted. A few of my nails are slightly uneven on a close glance, but does that really matter? I also appreciate the no questions about why a young man wants to have pretty nails, not that I expected questions. The only reason I'm taking a star off is because this isn't a place you can go to talk to your caretakers, as they don't seem to speak English very well. It could just have been the woman that served me, however. It might be an issue if you want something specific or someone to talk to. Otherwise, this is great for the price and service!

DON'T GO. -…read moreExtremely rude staff - The quality of the products they use is extremely poor - Excessively expensive (considering that the products/service they offer is terrible) Fact: I have always been obsessed with nails and know everything about this subject. 1st Time: I tried the "normal" gel manicure (like nail polish but lasts longer). After two days, three of my nails were already cracked and the gel started disappearing after one week. This has never happened to me, after leaving a professional nail salon (gel manicure should last at least three weeks). Price: $50 2nd Time: Hoping they would do a better job, I asked them to apply tips (=fake nails) because I wanted my nails to be longer (like they used to be, before they cracked). Price: $65 After one day, one nail broke and after two days another one did. I went back to show them and they applied new tips and powder gel (I used the powder gel this time, even stronger and more efficient than the nail polish gel). They charged me $10. Went back home, the same night, two other nails broke. You can imagine my frustration... I spent $115 for poor quality products, terrible service and, icing on the cake, extremely rude staff: they treated me as if I was forcing them to do my nails! AND they even had the courage to charge me an extra $10 for fixing a job THEY didn't do well in the first place. I can't get my money back nor my time, but I really hope you won't make the same mistake. PS: I have lived in 6 different countries and have been to thousands of nail salons. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about!

Great nails :)

I really wanted to love this place as I just moved to the area but the pedicure I got the other day…read morewas awful. For some reason the woman who gave me my pedi cut my big toe nail extremely short and in the process really cut me up and did some damage under the nail bed. I'm on vacation now and walking hurts (not great when you want to walk on the beach and around town) and I've been waking up at night with throbbing pain in my big toe. I'm now just praying it isn't infected. What is the point of getting a pre-vacation pedicure if it ends up hurting you and making you miserable and worried the whole time? I should mention the man who gave me my manicure did a nice job and was very nice but I can't risk going back to a place that may injure me or worse, give me an infection.

Riverside Barber Shop is under new ownership of Tammy Stefanidis. She bought the business from Pat, who had owned it for many years and who gave me haircuts for many years. I recently had my first haircut by Tammy and I was very pleased (maybe even a touch more than Pat). I'll be getting haircut #2 this week. read more
