Horrific gel nails
Hannah B.

Worst gel manicure of my life! The really frustrating part is I knew it would be as it was happening. It was one of those situations where the tech kept asking for my hand after the gel had only cured for about 10 seconds. When I said "the light isn't off yet" she just said "it's fine." I knew it wasn't, but I didn't want to be a Karen so I'd remove my hand. I should have been a Karen. I know my nails are short, but that's not the problem. This picture was two days into the manicure. This absolutely should not happen with gel. I would have gone back to get them fixed but I was on vacation hours away. Which is the whole reason I got the manicure! This is especially irresponsible considering the studies about the dangerous and permanent, incurable medical conditions caused by uncurled gel. Reference: https://www.medicaljournals.se/acta/content/html/10.2340/00015555-3684 DO NOT go here.

disappointing. can never find a DECENT nail placeI tried my best speaking up on how i wanted it in a respectful way. still came out with them looking crusty. as you can see they are not cleaned up! she proceded to file my nails at the very end getting nail dust everywhere(normal) but automatically puts LOTION on my hands? i'm covered in nail dust and you just apply lotion and rub it in? when i walked out to got a good look the nails feel bumpy and sticky and rough ?' like what?? almost 70$ for this? would yall pay? i'm so upset. ( gel mani btw)

Worst/most expensive pedicure. I got gel French and it's genuinely terrible. The tech was entirely too rough. Instead of being relaxing I was on the edge of my seat. My feet soaked for approximately 5 minutes before she began. The pink used is so patchy. The white French is uneven. My nail filed uneven. My toes aren't even fully painted. I've been getting pedicures for 10 years and this is hands down the worst.

Tray with scrub, minty clay, and lotion?
J T.

This was my first professional pedicure and the experience overall was a bit disappointing. Typically, I do my own mani/pedis because I'm self-conscious about my feet and really don't feel like dealing with the nail technicians talking crap about my them. Sure enough, I was already nervous when I walked in and the vibes certainly didn't help. I came in wanting a "Special Pedicure" ($43") and added gel, which is another $15. The receptionist was alright. Not welcoming by any means. I figured people would try to give newcomers an amazing experience so that they would become repeat customers, but maybe I'm just being overly optimistic. Lily was my nail tech. When she directed me to the pedicure chairs, the other nail tech was already making fun of me in Vietnamese saying that she (Lily) kept getting fat customers no wonder why she's poor. First of all, I don't know how being overweight correlates with poverty. Secondly, people shouldn't be talking behind people's back. They made the assumption that I can't understand their language and I heard and understood all their rude remarks and complaints, but decided to give them them another chance because I figured maybe they actually do a decent job. They got really high ratings and various people in my neighborhood recommended this place so I decided to give them a chance. Lastly, I'm not overweight. Just because I don't fit the typical beauty standards of Asian and Vietnamese women (petite and skinny) and I'm fit and thicc, they shouldn't be body shaming people. Lily proceeded to comment on how gross my feet was to the other nail tech. The other nail tech disagreed and thought my feet were pretty (thank you). Honestly, I would have done the pedicure myself if my back wasn't in so much pain. I wanted to love this place and this experience so much, but the negative vibes and rude comments really ruined it for me. As she continued to work on my feet, one of the nails got stuck to the heat lamp and ruined the gel polish. She shaved off the lumpy part of the polish and painted over it so the final product is pretty lumpy and uneven. She didn't do a good job cleaning up around my toe nails either - there are dried up paint marks all over the skin around my toes. Curious, I asked her if she was going to scrub my heels because that was supposed to be included. She suggested that I upgrade to the CND package ($65) and it seemed reasonable so I agreed. She pulled out a tray with three different scrubs, lotions, clay, etc. The warm orange liquid in a bag was placed over my feet and it felt really nice. Apparently, it was supposed to make my feet super soft. The clay material that she rubbed on my legs felt pretty cooling and soothing. The hot towel wrapped around my legs were an added bonus (highly recommend!) She rubbed my feet and leg muscles, which was fine. I expected something more relaxing or with more force but she might just lack the strength or ability to do so. It just felt like someone was feeling up my legs. No biggie. The CND package advertised that it would take approximately 55 mins. The entire experience - soak, gel polish, scrub, paraffin, hot towel, foot rub, etc. - took 30 mins. The final damage was $80. I walked in with the intentions of tipping $20, but after the negative experience, I figured $5 was better than nothing. Overall, the experience was meh at best. I could've done a better job at home for free 99 without feeling super uncomfortable and all the insults. The best part was the minty clay stuff that she rubbed around my calves and shin, hence the two stars. I paid for an $80 pedicure but it looks and feels like $20. I'm pretty sure I'm never getting a pedicure ever again. At least not here.

Lemme emphasize that I only let Crystal do my nails. I never have a wait time for my appointments and she's always really attentive and gives great suggestions to any idea I throw her way. She pays so much attention to detail and I've never had a better nail tech. If you go I recommend her 10/10.

Asked for square and got a slanted round shape. Didn't even bother to clean the white she left on my fingers.
Mia N.

I've been here twice. I literally show pictures of the exact nail shape I want and both times they've done something completely different. When I try to tell them that i don't like them they just get an attitude. I'm paying for a service and I don't want to pay for a service I don't want nor like? Very disappointed, Izzie did this white set. It's not the shape I asked for at all, nails are slanted and round when I asked for a sharp tapered square. so I am pretty annoyed.

SNS by Jane
Cathy V.

It was my 2nd time to come in this salon I love how Jane take good care of my nails specially with SNS.Superb i may say compare to my recent visit with other salon.She is not in hurry doing my nails.She made sure that i will love the length and the designs.I definitely recommended. KUDOS to Crystal as well for doing a fabulous nail care ( mani and pedi) for my 15 year old super shy daughter Even though Crystal barely hear my daughter because she is super shy type,my daughter is very pleased about her nails.She said she will always book her appointment with Crystal.

Pink gel manicure with stenciled white heart. I think it was number 248.
Monique P.

This was my first time visiting this nail shop. A fellow yelper recommended this place. I didn't have an appointment so I just walked right in as soon as they opened. All the staff were very friendly. I liked the fact that they had a huge selection of nail colors and plenty of pedicure chairs. I can't remember my nail technician but he was very nice and did a great job on my nails and toes. I definitely will be returning... 4 stars because of the huge language barrier, it took him awhile to understand how I wanted my nails.

Full set with gel.. could have been closer to my cuticle
Tiffany D.

This review is for Tiffany the nail tech! I received a recommendation to come here, but they didnt specify which tech to use. My first time in, I got lucky with Tiffany and have been going to her since whenever I come in. She does amazing work. I can bring in a picture and show her what I want and she replicates it, while still making it signature to me. She has the most bubbly personality, and creates an atmosphere that is comfortable and relaxing. ---- To add on, all nail techs are not created equal. I tried a new person when Tiffany was out , and I was not very pleased with my nails. The work was a bit sloppy and the shapes of my nails didn't match. Even still, I would recommend this shop. It's clean, updated, and they have candy at the front desk! :)

Pedi chipped and they do not make repairs when their work is not good. The salon is nice but they do not standing behind their work.

I have no idea why it took me so long to start coming here for massages! I have lived in the area…read morefor over five years but just started my appointments here about a year ago. I was under the impression that they were more expensive than other places but once I began my membership I realized I was completely wrong. I automatically pay each month for a 60min massage and I can add additional massages at the membership rate if I get impatient and need another massage inbetween my regular appointments. I accidentally scheduled my appointment with Joe when I made my initial appointment and am so glad for that! He is amazing! When I say accidentally, I just mean that I intended to schedule with a female therapist but then selected an appointment time on Joe's schedule. They called me to confirm if that was okay and I just rolled with it. I have been seeing him at least once a month ever since. I have been getting massages since before I even had a license. Joe is the most consistent therapist I ever had. I prefer deep tissue massages and I get just that...for the entire 60 minutes unlike some massages where only here and there feels good. Joe is professional and always checks in before each session to determine if there are any specific spots he should focus on. Prior to leaving I always get my next appointment on the calendar. The customer service here is great. Because they are super small and don't always have someone at the desk, I typically have to leave a message when calling. I always receive a call back within the hour. I have had to call to reschedule an appointment or two and never had an issue. I highly recommend checking them out. If you are a deep tissue person, give Joe a try!

WOW, WOW! I must recommend Joseph. Prior to meeting him, I've went to 2 different massage parlors…read morealong with stretch place! Nothing worked, until I met Joseph! Ive nick named him the "Terminator of Massage"! and you will be back! Check them out!

The therapist knows where and what to do. The price is competitive. No fancy frills like at upscale spas, just a nice relaxing massage. They usually can schedule you on the same day which is very convenient. For the review about no paperwork, I did receive paperwork and also had to sign in with my phone number. Also making accusations is not cool. I've never had that experience nor actually what you accused these hard working, kind people of. Smh. Terrible accusation. Bet that reviewer would not be pleased if someone came to their place of employment and accused them of something they did not do nor actually experience or witness themselves......Karen's being Karen. "If you get what I mean"..... geez....

The massages are actually good and the masseuse will adjust their massage based on your request of tensions of the areas most sore. My masseuse noticed that my neck and shoulder were so tension from working and looking on the computers a lot. She helped me massage my neck and shoulder the most to help relax the tension. Overall experience is good and satisfaction, I will come back again and refer others friends, family, and colleagues of this place.

3/13/19- Remembering The Past:…read more It turns out I have been to this place, but the name is now called Ace Spa. If I remember correctly, this place stayed open to 2:00am in the morning back in the early 2000's. When I worked for Securitas back in the day, I had a number of stops in this area. One one particular night I decided to get a massage during one of my breaks. Arriving after 1:00am, the place was all but dead. One night I tried out this place. I was greeted by Mama-San, who looked tired. Honestly, I think if I hadn't shown up, they might have closed. After paying the cover charge, I was lead to a room. I truly don't remember what the cover charge was, but I paid in cash. The massage was okay, but I am sure the lady was tired. Yes, this was a massage palor and no the lady wasn't wearing high heels to work, but I digress. Now because I had already given my masseuse and Mama-San the cover charge and tip, the masseuse's massage started getting lighter around butt. Yes, I have heard of getting my glutes massaged, but her finger went were the sun doesn't shine. The prostate massage was something,...but (no pun intended) the good feeling went away. The glove she used looked like one she had used before. I am not a hundred percent sure, but the idea stayed with me and that ment the happy end Avril Lavigne was singing about was over too. Should have gotten my money back, but I didn't. Guess I got what she would call a butterfinger ending...:( Maybe going when it was close to closing wasn't such a good idea.
