Serenity Nails Salon

8/19/19 After leaving Nancy's Barbershop&Spa,…read more I headed to Puspa Day Spa to get wax done by professionals as the Nancy Barbershop associate told me to do. I met the owner (Puspa Khanal) and her associate (Bhawana Metformin) sitting and talking. I saw the owner getting some henna body art done. Seeing that the henna body art going on Puspa hands arms and feet, I had nothing but time on my hands. This is the first Indian spa I have ever been to, but it had a nice feel to the place. After some time Puspa showed me the waxing room. The waxing chair has had a lot of use, but was the most relaxing chair/tables I have ever been on. I was asked if I wanted to get my legs waxed too. After thinking about for a few seconds, I went with their offer. For five dallors more I was given the option of getting my armpits waxed too. Normally I shave them, but not today. Both Puspa and Bhawana left the room and I took my clothes off to hang them up. I did not have a towel to cover my manhood, but these ladies see naked people every day, well maybe not a handsome stud like myself, but close. I believe Bhawana was the first to open the door and close it. I heard her cackling like a schoolgirl. The song I'm Too Sexy started playing in my head....no,...not really... I started looking around for something to cover my genitals, when Puspa brought in a hand towel. Guess Bhawana is not use to male nudity. I was asked why I was naked and I thought that was a dumb question, but oh well. I explained I am getting my full legs waxed; as well, as my full arms and armpits. I am not going to get wax on my new clothes. The waxing procedure went by quickly since both Puspa and Bhawana were waxing me at the same time. Very rarely have I been waxed by two people and have found it to be less effective than one person doing it. The whole process I felt was rushed and if I come back for another round, I will request just one lady. Both Puspa and Bhawana did a decent job, but too much leftover wax was found on my body. Again I feel one person doing the waxing would have been better. I spent a good amount of time scratching the wax off of me. The waxing clean up are just as import as the removal of the hair. I have seen small patches of hair that was missed. Mishaps happen and I am sure Madame Puspa can redeem herself. I give this place 4 out of 5 stars. I will be back to try out the massage and waxing again. Puspa Day Spa is a charming place as is Madame Puspa. $80 bucks for full legs, full arms and Armpits is great.

I wish I could give this business owner a zero star rating. She is very greedy for money and does…read morenot care about the customer. I was referred to a friend who is doing a full body for $2k. I drove an hour and twenty minutes to get there. She gave me a $2400 same package for full body laser removal, with at least 6 sessions that my friend received. Then I offered her $2000 and reminded her of my friend's name who referred us, but she wasn't loyal to the prize we referenced. Even though we offered her $1k upfront and $1k later, she refused. She wanted $2400 this time, but later agreed to pay $2200 and per session using a credit card. Although today's appointment is the first sitting appointment, there were unexpected things that occurred. I called her to reschedule and she said tomorrow's is fine. However, she mentioned that the face is not covered in the full body, so it will be separate. I reminded her about our deal and she said I forgot to mention it last time. She started arguing and demanded cash payments of $2200, which reminded me that it wasn't what we talked about and the deal. Be aware of these kinds of owners. Since laser hair removal is a common procedure, it's possible that they can cause more harm to your body than good. Luckily, she refused and showed her greediness. Otherwise, I would have been messed up or sick by her unprofessional behavior.

I have been coming to Serenity Nails for a few weeks, and every time I am so happy! I chose them because they have an express pedicure option, which works for me as I work in the area and can sneak away for lunch and still be back in time. Tim did my nails and I will be staying with him forever! Little to no error on the gel polish (I don't like when it touches the cuticle) I am such a picky person and he hit the nail in the head from fast and efficient to small details! Highly pleased! read more

Tracey, who provided my service, was exceptional--courteous, attentive, and highly professional throughout the entire experience. I opted for the milk and honey pedicure, and it was outstanding.

Make sure to request your nail tech though because sometimes it's a hit or miss depending on who is doing your nails. The first time visiting (back in August), there was a little bit of miscommunication between the front desk and I about what service I requested when I went in during the week. It was a little hard to communicate, and I felt a little rushed to make a decision about my nail color. However, they have multiple comprehensive books with examples to help visualize gel or dip options. I was ambivalent about the quality of my nails this experience because of the price and kindness of my nail tech were relatively positive. In October, my sister and I had a great experience! The vibe inside is very serene and inviting. The decorations are cute, the options for gel and acrylics were laid out well, and the chairs and stations are very sanitary. Le (my nail tech) was very meticulous and careful with my nails. I let her know it was my first time getting acrylics for my birthday (but I had gotten many manicures before) and she made sure to check in with me about whether or not I liked them before moving onto next steps. She was also a great conversationalist with a great heart! My sister's nail tech in October was also super nice and accommodating as well. Her design was a little more intricate and was executed nicely. In December, both my sister and I's experience was not one I would recommend. Granted, it was a little busier; however, I called and made an appointment a week in advance. We both came in with Christmas inspiration pictures with simpler designs and specifics, which were not executed well. I asked for a more matte red with a silver ring finger nail (like the picture) with a square shape and was once again rushed to sit in a chair instead of being able to look for the color I wanted. I asked for help and the nail tech brought me a couple of options. She showed me a few that weren't close to what I was looking for, but, honestly, most of the polishes on display looked old and sticky, so I picked a red that wasn't really what I wanted. I also asked for a sparkly silver (and showed her the picture) and she initially brought out a silver with gold iridescent sparkles instead of silver iridescent sparkles (and was clumpy). I asked if there was another option and she showed me one that had silver chunky sparkles, which I liked (but didn't realize was just a top coat since she didn't show me on my nails). The manicure itself was okay, she did a clean job with my cuticles and buffed my nails. However, she filed my nails unevenly and the water to soak my nails in was very cold. My sister also had a similar experience where her nail tech didn't execute the color or shape well on her acrylics. She got nail glue on the side of her nails and her acrylics were crooked as well. Overall, I wouldn't recommend coming here on a Saturday or over the weekend when the place is busier, but I would recommend going during the week and with a nail tech with good reviews. The prices here are relatively reasonable and the environment is very sanitary and clean.
