My first thought was WOW! Since I am VERY particular about nail spas and cleaniness, I have not gone to one in a while. I usually do my nail spas at home. But since it was my daughter's 16th birthday, she wanted to do a nail spa day with me and her grandmother. After going through the internet for nail salons around my area, I decided to try Salon Soleil Spa at the Boardwalk near Leon Springs. There were no reviews on the nail treatment, so I decided to go ahead and take a big chance here.
I phone in and Jennifer (owner) answered. She was very nice and professional and managed to give all three of us an appointment at the same time for the time of day I preferred. - - - Great Start.
When we arrived she introduced us to Anne, I did not get the name of the other technician who was doing my mother's treatment. We all got to sit together in the big massaging chairs. The salon knew we were coming and had every ready. One thing I was disappointed in was that they did not ask how hot I preferred the water, I would have liked it a little hotter - minor thing. The rest was really excellent. Anne had us soak, massage and offered a beverage. The experience was nice. The tools were taken out of the sanitary packaging and were told that the bowls are also sanitized. She was very detailed in the treatment and professional. I was pleased with my service.
Another tech did my mother. All went okay with my mom's service, but there were two things that annoyed me - 1- the older lady tried to up sell more services. and 2 - when she waxed my mother's toes, she double dipped the stick in the wax - TOTALLY EWWW. I do not go to places to wax where they double dip the stick!
Because of those two things, I gave this place only four stars. The place is clean, sanitary, professional, the treatment is very therapeutic and they DO NOT RUSH you out the door like the building is on fire. They were nice enough to give us a special price of $25 each for the basic nail treatment that were very detailed for $25 - - - MEGA GOOD.
We were very pleasantly surprised and satisfied. We will be back. If Jennifer changes the double dipping, I might even try a wax. read more
