    Brought in a picture of what I wanted. Staff is great! Super friendly and funny! Some true artist in here! Josh is amazing! Very clean and laid back! Will be back!

    Started this then left for another HOUR.

    UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT ALMOST 2 HOURS after making an appointment don't go. Don't get it wrong they do great nails but don't even bother making an appointment they don't care it's always first come first serve. It's annoying even after getting sat down they started my nails and went to THREE other girls who came in after me to start theirs? Weird... again they do great work but they don't honor appointments and don't do your set they start and then come back. I came in for a full set took 3 plus house. I would have definitely left if they didn't start then walk away so I then had to stay.

    Gel french tip

    I went for my first time and i got josh for my gel pedicure when i tell u my toes look perfect! They look perfect! Ive gone to bliss nails for years and they have never been able to achieve a perfect french tip like josh could highly recommending! They even have a point system i got a free 10 bucks off for my next visit for how much i spent. Did the $40 dollar spa pedicure + gel and design it was $70. Super reasonable!!! They got me in quick for my appointment normally even with a scheduled apt at other places ive had to wait 30 minutes sometimes longer so definitely valued the customer service.

    Chipped nails

    Did not have the best experience here. I went in yesterday to get a fill and the guy who did it just slapped so much acrylic on my nails, they were super thick. By the time I realized this I couldn't have him fix it because I was going to be late for work and he was rushing to do someone pedicure so I figured I would come in today to get them fixed. The picture I have attached below is when I got them FIXED... didn't catch it when I left because the same guy who did them sloppy the first time was fixing them and I wanted to get out of that place quickly. Went to Angel Nails to get them removed immediately after, much better service there.

    I didn't catch my techs name but she did a great job on my manicure. My cuticles and polish are perfect! I really wanted a pedicure but I hesitated because I didn't see a little blue paper autoclave envelope anywhere so I was nervous as to how they sterilize their equipment, or if they even do. She just pulled the manicure equipment off her tray. If the equipment is autoclaved the envelope should always be opened in front of you. I really don't wanna pick up toenail fungus bc it's nearly impossible to get rid of so it wasn't worth the risk for me. The smell was also strong enough to give me a slight headache while I was here. Update: It's been six days and my gel polish nails are already chipping

    I recently moved to Chico and definitely was in need of some self care , arriving to this location which is a corner lot made it easy to find . I walked in and was greeted immediately with pure kindness, it was definitely a vibe , they played a soft jazz station which had me relaxed while getting my pedicure, The owner did my nails which wow double wow, I showed the photos of what I wanted and she did it better lol than my photos I showed her , she was funny , sweet , listened to my vision . It is family owned and operated so you sense the awesome family dynamics. Best shop hands down in Chico , and yes I can say that after going shop to shop the other shops didn't have the experience to do the job .

    Let me start off by saying I have only had one experience, so take that as you will. However, after my one experience I will not ever spend my time or money there again when I know other much better places exist. I got a gift card to Skylab, so even though I don't usually go there I thought I'd check it out. From start to finish I had a terrible experience. I felt like I was the biggest inconvenience and that I was like their enemy for just existing. To make an appointment here they ask you to text them. Below I have attached the conversation I had which the last text you see is the last message of the conversation I never received anything else. I wanted to clarify prices because it didn't say for regular nails or acrylic and that's how I was treated. So I decided not to hold that one conversation against them and a few days later I called to make an appointment rather than texting again, once again not a great conversation but not as bad as the first time. Then I arrive at my appointment and the rude attitude and general vibe they're not happy continues. They point in a general area of all their chairs where I should sit and when I sat in the wrong one they got upset and pointed to the general area again and when I asked to confirm which seat there was a sigh so I just guessed and sat down. The entire appointment was silent and it's not their job to entertain me however I do like to engage when someone is doing something like this for me. Finally the appointment concludes and she got nail polish on my finger looked at and touched it briefly then left it. My actual nails looked fine but after 5 days begin falling off. I usually only use this app for positive reviews but I am leaving this hoping that the workers learn from my experience.

    Beautiful black tipped French pedi. My bf loved it

    Absolutely gorgeous work, could not be happier. A little pricey, but honestly you get what you pay for. Thank you so much

    Peeling on a new nail

    I got my nails done here on Sunday 10/15/23 & I already have bubbling and peeling on multiple nails. The place was not clean. At all . I was shocked since it's so new . I called earlier in the day to make an appointment. I spoke to someone and they said I should come in at 3 pm . I got there a few minute before 3 and it seemed like I wasn't in the books . I was seated about 10 min after . They had one nail technician working on 3 people at once and had a woman that was waiting before me next to me , she wasn't helped until I was done ! They just had a bunch of people sitting in chairs . The gel manicure service was 30 min long, as you can see it was not quality as I am already seeing signs of bubbling . I definitely will not be coming back .

    They did a great job but I had an appointment at 2pm & waited until 2:40pm. Would still go back because the salon was clean & not packed.

    Beautiful nails

    New to town and trying to find a good place for my monthly massage and facial. Decided to give…read moreRenew a try. Please note this review is not a reflection of the staff, just my personal opinion of the overall experience. The masseuse and esthetician were good however I had a few issues with the location. Located in a business park and very close to a main road right across from a high school. Upon entering the clean waiting room I was greeted and given paperwork to complete. There was a diffuser on, with a pleasant smell however the scent was extremely overwhelming...like hit you in the back of the throat, coughing overwhelming. While I waiting I noted there are two treatment rooms directly off of the waiting room, odd as I've always been to places where the check in/waiting area is separate from any treatment rooms. So close in-fact I could hear another guest talking to her masseuse. I was praying I wouldn't get the other room off the waiting area, but just my luck that was my room. My masseuse was very pleasant and did a good job. I had no issue with the service but the environment was so far from relaxing. Upon entering my room I noticed how bright it was. No overhead light but a lamp on and a large window with sheer drapes which let in a lot of light. This window also received direct sun which made the room very warm on a 100+ degree day. The massage started and I was trying to relax when there was conversation in the waiting room, a man was checking out and speaking very loud, he then excited the spa. There is a literal bell on the door handle which goes off every time someone enter or exits, if that wasn't enough there is an electronic chime that ALSO goes off every time the front door is used. I understand the purpose but it is far from relaxing hearing multiple chimes/bells when the front door is used. The bell/chimes went off multiple times during my service, very distracting. My treatment room shared the front wall of the business which has parking spots a sidewalks length away. I had the joy of hearing every car door open/close, honks from doors being locked and someone's very loud stereo, don't forget the motorcycle rev. The business is close to the road so you hear the traffic going by. I was there on a weekend so the traffic from the high school wasn't bad and most if not all businesses in the business park were closed. I can't imagine how loud it would be during the week. Following my service I was instructed to put on a robe and wait in the waiting area for my next service. I found it uncomfortable siting in my robe in a public waiting area while I held my clothes in my arms. I was then escorted to my next service, I was optimistic as I was taken back into the spa. Just my luck my next room was located with the main wall against the roadway. Thankfully I had a head wrap on and the facial steamer helped mask the sound of the passing traffic. But again, I could still hear the electronic chime every time someone used the from door. My service was good and the esthetician was pleasant and knowledgeable. I booked my appointment the night before and received multiple "reminder" texts the day of which was nice I'm on the fence if I will return or not, if I did it would only be for a facial as the environment is not relaxing for a massage in my opinion. .

    Excellent, exceptionally clean facility. The staff are wonderful . The therapist did an outstanding…read morejob with the relax/swedish massage that really helped reduce the stress, sore neck and back muscles and help me sleep. I am looking forward to returning as I am from out of town. I had been searching for a replacement after Chico Massage Envy disappeared with no notice. This spa checks all the boxes.
