I just moved to Corpus and hadn't had a haircut in 18 months. I chose this salon based on reviews I read at various internet sites. Salon Palomo did not disappoint. To be more specific, my stylist Analisa was AMAZING.. I have curly hair and really needed some guidance. She listened to my concerns and desires. She made suggestions and then I just let her work her magic. My wash/cut/style lasted an hour and 45 minutes and in the end it looked amazing. I will forever go see Analisa!!! Thanks Salon Palomo for a GREAT experience! read more

Be prepared to NOT have a spa experience. The massage chair doesn't work and their so-called deluxe is nothing compared to other salons I've gone to. Worst $70 I've ever spent. Kristen still got her $18 tip though. read more

Salon Palomo - Shellac chips after 2 days. Also, Notice the detailed French? - Nail Salons Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Found this place on Yelp, and with high expectations, I took my wife. I'm sticking with just the facts here as visualized by my spouse...No opinions...No hearsay...No secondhand information, all in hopes the proprietor has a harder time challenging/removing this review: - Receptionist was absent, until a man came in behind her, and then was abruptly quizzing her regarding what she wanted done. - An appointment had been made, but neither the man (later determined to be the owner), nor anyone else bothered to see what had been booked for my wife. - Owner started yelling at staff to see who was available to start any part of my wife's spa afternoon. - Observed from the waiting area: Pedi staff reusing foot bath water. - Strong chemical smell in waiting room, resulting in watering/tearing eyes. - Observed staff "pop head" into waxing room to ask a question without knocking. Waxing room was not locked. - Waxing room walls streaked with water stains. - Dirty floors. - Staff didn't know their way around the room, couldn't find supplies, had to leave to ask where stuff was. My wife left before anything got going. My wife booked elsewhere in town. read more

I bought a Groupon. At first I thought they were going to be good but after only 5 days 2 of my nails had chipped and then 2 more days later another nail peeled and lost half the color. It was suppose to be the shellac which I paid an extra $10 for. NOT worth the trip or price!! Though in their defense, I called and they are repairing the 3 nails read more

I needed a haircut (this was about 2 months ago) and the girl I used to go to moved, so I took a chance. I booked an appointment and I was pleased that they could see me that day. Well .... I explained what I wanted, using photos etc. One girl started cutting. Then, half-way in (seriously, half of my hair was pinned up, un-cut) she had a client walk in. I got transferred to someone else HALF WAY through my haircut. So there I was, explaining. So, this girl (totally not her fault) had to finish the cut. WHAT THE HELL?! I have NEVER had a salon do this. It is ABSURD. The haircut was decent, but not really what I wanted. I will NEVER be back. And rest-assured, I'll tell everyone about my experience. read more

Nail Tech Yessica or Yessina forgot her name was the best! That's about it... The first hostess was Not polite at all and I should have gotten a name but didn't! I think maybe it was cause they had no business or close to lunch but I don't know! read more

The manicurist/pedicurist was a nice lady. The place overall was not very clean, considering they market themselves as a high end salon, you have to pay almost twice as much you pay for other regular nail salons. the nail file she used seemed to have been used to file everyone's nails in town. On the footbath, at the place where you rest your legs, clearly had streaks or what looked like soap scum. Worst part of this whole experience, my manicure and pedicure started coming off only after 48 hours. It has something to do with the technique. I use similar products (nail polish, OPI, Essie) for both professional and at home manicures/pedicures and my pedicures last minimum a two weeks and my manicures at least a week. Poor workmanship and dirty salon, I would not recommend this place. read more

Amazing service!! They actually take their time with your nails, and don't rush thru the process like most places do. Nail technicians have great knowledge about nail care, and are very caring towards customer service. All tools used during ur mani/pedi are sterile too! Will definitely be back!!! read more

Salon Palomo - Loved the nail art job they did!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Got my haircut yesterday expecting a great experience but was there for three hours and ended up with bad coloring and a mullet.. A MULLET! After spending over $200 and shedding some tears I definitely will not be going back. read more

This place is just wonderful. Made an appt for my grandmother and they were even able to squeeze my mom in when we arrived. They both got the deluxe mani-pedi and loved it. The ladies who work here are friendly and very considerate. Another plus, great ventilation. There was barely a smell of nail polish or acetone in the nail salon area. If you are looking to be pampered, this place is perf. read more

Salon Palomo - Mother and grandmother getting their toes done. - Nail Salons Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I went to Salon Palomo before my wedding to get a beautiful all over beach blonde look. After I paid for their services and went home it was brought to my attention that my hair was not blonde but orange! Indeed it was. After freaking out and wanting to pull a Britney, I messaged the "master stylist" who did my hair. She said; and I quote: "I'll be honest Saturday we didn't have a lot of toners I was actually freaking out". Salon Palomo allowed me to leave knowing that my hair was not completed. I called the "owner" and asked politely for a refund but was told that I was acting like a crazy person and at one point he growled at me. Then I was told that he highly doubted that it was as bad as I was saying because they have 30 years of experience and "the best salon in Corpus Christi". Well guess what Mr. big head, the "best" doesn't treat their clients like this or allow them to step foot outside looking like a darn clown. In order to be professional you need keep product in stock, not hope for the best when messing around with someone's hair. Also the hair cut was AWFUL, butchered my layers and didn't fully do my highlights, I'm talking about an inch below my scalp. What the heck did I pay for? The place is dirty and unorganized. They don't sanitize nor do they clean up after a client has left. I'm 100% sure that I have other peoples hair in my purse. Thanks. All in all, if you'd like to look like a clown and thats what you're going for Salon Palomo is the Best in Corpus Christi NOT! read more

Salon Palomo - DO NOT GO TO SALON PALOMO UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A RED HEAD NOT A BLONDE............................... - Nail Salons Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I purchased a groupon for the deluxe manicure and pedicure for $27. There was absolutely nothing deluxe about my experience. The nail tech barely removed my current polish and left traces at all of the edges. She Did absolutely NO cuticle treatment (clean up or anything) and the nail polish job was sub par at best. The pedicure I "thought" was going well until she wrapped my legs with lukewarm and DIRTY towels. They smelled like mildew and were stained repulsively. Again the polish job was really poor. I definitely could do better on my own. I still tipped well because it is good etiquette. But save your cash and PLEASE let me know where to go in this town for a decent mani/pedi. read more

Been here to get a pedicure and mani through the groupon deal. Seriously best shellac I have EVER had! It lasted 2.5 weeks before it slowly started to chip. The chip was pretty clean to, meaning my nail wasn't damaged and it would've been easy to just take off in one pull. Christina did a GREAT job, plus she's really sweet! There were a few hair stylists who seemed to have an attitude, one which I even said hello to because I wanted to compliment her hair & discuss some future possibilities, but she wouldn't even look at me. So I was turned off by that. I will however, be going back for my shellac manis with Christina! :) read more

Salon Palomo - After two weeks, just nail growth. But polish is shiny and smooth - Nail Salons Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I needed a haircut. I called and they said they could fit me in with just a haircut. I am not super picky about my hair. I straighten it everyday, so I just wanted side bangs and layers. My bangs go straight across and the layers need some work. Unfortunately I need to wait until my bangs grow some to fix them or they will be entirely too short. The girl who did my hair answered her cell phone and chit chatted with the other stylist the whole time. Not to mention the run down look of the place. And the cut with no wash or style was $45. Not a great experience and I will not be going back. read more

Yasmin did an amazing job on my nails. I found a great deal on Groupon for mani pedis and made my appointment for the next day. Yasmin took great care of me and my nails. I loved how she ensured every inch of my nail had polish on it. My favorite part would have to be the scrubs. They smelled sooo good and made my skin super soft. I'm not sure why they have such horrible reviews. My experience was great. Definitely coming back. read more

Chose this Salon based on the location to hotel. My mom was having a medical treAtment next day. I knew a fresh hair cut would make her at ease. My Mom's stylist was Alexandra. I wanted to go back to my summer hair color. My stylist was a Alicia and she did a great job. I loved it. Staff was courteous and owner was very hospitable. Scheduled to return. read more

I went to get a mani pedi done by Remi. She was wonderful and very detailed. I really loved my experience here and would love to come back!

Jessica came HIGHLY recommended to me and I must admit she DID NOT disappoint me! She did a phenomenal job with my highlights and cut and her personality is wonderful as well. I know quality work when I see it and I received exactly that with her. Thank you again Jessica! I will most definitely be seeing you again!!! read more

Groupon review! Jasmine did a great job on my manicure and pedicure. She was friendly and super easy to talk to. I love the warming exfoliating scrub for the hands! I'll be back! read more

Purchased a Groupon deal and was super apprehensive going to salon due to some reviews online. I went ahead call, booked an appointment and showed up. I felt welcome as soon as I walked in, everyone was so friendly. The nail technicians: Mya, Jasmine and Adriana were super nice and actually very entertaining. Love my pedicure, totally recommend! read more

The reviews made me really wary, but I got the mani/pedi Groupon and would go back again. If I had another Groupon. I don't think I would pay full price for the services I received. There wasn't anything "deluxe" about the manicure or pedicure, but Tracy, the lady who did mine, did a really good job with what she did. And I'm really impressed with the job she did painting. That's usually my biggest complaint about nail places: they don't actually take good care when they're painting, and the manicure ends up being crap because of that. She was very careful and precise. For the price I paid, I am happy with the services I received. read more

Very disappointed this time! Three years ago when I first went there, I was very happy with the haircut Maria did to me. This time, she was very unprofessional: sitting on a chair, I couldn't see what was she doing on my hair because the mirror was behind me. On top of that she was texting on her phone while doing my haircut. Really?!? Of course the haircut was not what I showed her in the picture. I need to look for another salon now... read more

This place is a mess, no acknowledgement what so ever when I entered no receptionist, customer service? Basically non existent. Ha. The hair cut not bad. Not really a big fan of stylist who do dry cuts, my hair is curly and dry, so I walked out with more split ends than when I came in! This was the second time for me to visit this salon and most likely the last. A funny thing happen while I was getting my hair cut. The stylist pretty much criticized my hair and the way it was cut, saying it was not cut right and uneven. Lol. Little did she know that it was one of her co-workers that last cut my hair. Ha. So after all her criticism I was glad to inform her that they were the last people to cut my hair. Better believe that shut her up. Lol read more

This place is filthy. Layers of dust & hair color smeared everywhere.Gross! They tout best of Caller Times...My stylist could not even breakdown the cost per service. read more

What the actual what, whaaaatt??? Honestly the worst nail experience . She did a nice job on my toes can not lie . That being said , what I received was no Deluxe pedicure . The chair I sat in jets didn't even work . She had me just soak my feet in warm water no soap or fun stuff for about 20 min , while she finished someone else's nails . I was here early because I called to see if I could push my appointment back they said no I can't push my schedule back . Okay . But she didn't start my nails till over 30 min after I got there. I was here over three hours y'all.... one hour was dedicated to her fixing the god awful mess she made on my hands .. I wanted to cry so bad . I tried to stop a few time . She insisted she would fix them but that should have never happened like whaaaaat??? She got them to an okay point . She was falling asleep. Eating while working on my nails ,stoped multiple times . At one moment she put the wrong sns dip on me so there's another layer .. geez like just no . I was embarrassed at ppl walking by looking at my hands while she was doing them . Never again. read more

This review is ONLY about the nail salon. The hair salon and Meagan is amazing:Not too sure I'm impressed today, maybe just the nail "artist" but don't think I'll be back. Nail "artist" never introduced herself, never asked how I wanted my toe nails just assumed I wanted them long... Hmmm news flash, no one likes tree claws! The reason we don't cut them prior to coming in is so u have something to cut! No conversation the entire time and the mani pedi where supposed to last probably 90 mins... Nope. She also needs to learn how to give a foot and calf massage. Ok. I'm done with my rant. read more

Nail salon review-- walking into the facility I was not greeted. There were not any kind words exchanged or even a smile. However, the nail salon side was very different. Both nail techs were super friendly and talkative. I had the groupon for the deluxe mani and pedi,which they convinced me to upgrade, no big deal. But once she got started I could tell it was going to take a long time. She did a great job in the end but it took well over TWO hours. I got there at 11 and it was after 1 when I walked out the door. I mean she did a great job and I would go back, but only if I had a solid 3 hours to spare. Although the timeframe wouldn't have bothered me if there was wine involved. But no beverage of any kind was offered. Surprising for a facility that considers themselves so upscale. read more

I bought the groupon for cut, style, and protein. When I called to schedule an appointment I told her I need a highlight as well. She told me that the highlight will cost me $140? I have short hair. I said that is the cheapest and she said yes. I passed and I will let my groupon go to waste. No wonder they are selling groupons to attract customers. read more

Went here with really long hair to get a cut with long bangs and a picture of the hair cut I want, stylist agrees and cuts my hair but stops halfway and says it'll cost extra ( maybe could have told me that before cutting my hair) she then starts saying I have to go to a different stylist because she has another client and she seems upset. So I leave with a haircut I didn't want at all. Don't come here expecting anything you actually want unless your gonna keep paying extra. Also the long bangs I wanted were supposed to be at my chest but now they are above my shoulders nothing like I wanted. P.s. the place wasn't that nice looking but my stylist was really sweet until the end. So the second star is for her. read more

I bought a Groupon for a Mani/Pedi at the begging of the week. I called on Monday to make an appointment, but they were closed. That's fine, totally get it! Called Tuesday morning, the Nail Techs don't come in on Tuesday ‍ But they will call me back. Wednesday came around and I called again. I was told they don't come in until 10:30 and they would call be back. Still no call back by Thursday. I was on the side of town where the "spa" was and decided to go in to see why I wasn't getting a call back. They of course apologised and set up an appointment for the next day (Friday at 10am). Friday at 10 am, I sit waiting in the nail area and 10 min later I was told my appointment was canceled because the Nail Tech quit!‍ They just said we're sorry and we can make another appointment for next Wednesday!?!! What a disappointment. I'm in the process of trying to get my money from Groupon back. What a waste of time and energy! So unprofessional! read more

Just like the other raters, i too tried this place twice.my daughter tried it once for acrylic nails and pedi..i was charged 125 for an ok cut and root touchup. I have short hair..just below my ears...i listened to them talk about getting ppl in on the groupon and convincing them they are in desperate need of a color and cut fix....then saying a free cut with color...=125 @ checkout. This place is filthy and crowded and other than how great (they think) their skills are, all they talked about was trying to get a reality show...the entire time i stared at a stained up ceiling...haircolor splattered on the walls. Filthy floors and mirrors..for $125 i expect it to be a high quality space. My daughters nails fell off within 2 days...Needless to say, I WON'T EVER BE BACK!!!! Gave it one star because 0 wasn't an option. read more

Had an amazing experience. I went in i was very very nervous because i had some ideas for what i wanted. My hair was pretty long past mid back and what i wanted was at least half of my head shaved its hot all Year around here so yea i was tired of long hair. I thought the stylist was going to try to talk me out of it because of all the work and even if she didnt i was afraid who ever i got was not going to perfectly execute what i wanted. WOW was i wrong her attitude was amazing and her work was amazing she did everything i wanted and it is pure PERFECTION !!!!!!! Thank u soooooo much Jessica u were awesome and my hair looks AMAZING! Thank u for being so positive and giving me the confidence to go for what i wanted! I will definitely be returning! read more

My first time going here for a haircut and style w/treatment from Groupon was good the lady did a great job on my hair hardly any wait time so I decided to come back. Second time I came about 5min early from my appt time scheduled. After some time of waiting I asked how much longer would it take seeing that it's been already 40min past my appt time. Receptionist then said oh I'm sorry I forgot to put you in. When as soon as I walked in I put my name on the list up front... I was the only person in the waiting area and the whole salon saw me there yet I was being ignored there was at least 2 stylist who were just chit chatting who could have seen me but for whatever reason choose not to. When I finally got called my stylist barely said a word to me. I felt so uncomfortable and felt like I was a burden the whole time. It's not like I wanted to have the most meaningful convo but hey a sentence here and there just to be friendly would of been nice. Especially since I had to wait longer than I should have. Stylist here do cut hair dry which I was surprised but I'm giving 2 stars only because the stylist did do a good job for my hair and took time to style it the way I explained. Customer service and overall atmosphere needs work. Hearing the other stylists talk so loud about the drama in their lives made me feel like I was in high school again. Very annoyed and will not be coming back. read more

Lorena was easy to talk to and listened to my requests about my natural curly hair. She did a great job. Used a Groupon deal for haircut, shampoo and style with protein conditioner.

She had Marissa F. read more
