Cracked four days after dip without any major activity:(
Sarah S.

I am only writing this because I read all the great reviews and was really excited to try Sofia Nails. I got a dip and polish change on my toes as I had gotten a full manicure and pedicure three days before. I was going on a beach vacation and wanted it done the day before our trip;) It was only four days and the dip came off multiple fingers (vs my regular salon it lasts a full two to three weeks before a single chip). The polish change was $25, which I would have thought would come with filing and cuticles for that price, but it was literally just putting polish on my unpainted toes. I said really, $25, and nothing else? And they confirmed just painting the polish on toes was $25. Sadly, I won't be going back, but wish my experience had been the great one I had hoped for:(

This is my regular place and I come here so often that it hasn't even crossed my mind to leave a review. I literally refuse to get my nails done anywhere else (and when I do, I regret it) because Lucy does such an amazing job EVERY TIME. I've included photos of just some of the manicures I've gotten over the past year. Side note--I love the fact that there's always an interesting show playing on the TVs because I'm never bored while getting my nails done!

What I wanted

The spa was really clean, and staff was wonderful and friendly. However I feel like I was charged too much for a gel refill ($80) , they usually charge $60 here for a gel refill but I wanted to do a design so that's why it was charged $80. Also during my appt, they told me no one was available to do a design I wanted so I had to come back 15 mins later. I don't really feel like my nails are ombré, I know my nails aren't the same shape as the one in the picture but I don't think the color came out the way I wanted. Again, spa and staff were great but personally I don't think I am a returning customer due to the prices.

This is an excellent place to get your nails done! I had a great experience here and will definitely come here instead of Miniluxe in the future - it was as relaxing of an experience, with as talented of staff, for a fraction of the price! The staff were super helpful and kind. They wanted me to have a great experience and gave me one of the best pedicures I've ever had! The interior is calming and peaceful, very cutely decorated. Go there!

Loving my lashes! Ready for my wedding
K J.

I went to this salon yesterday as a new client. For lashes- 5 star!! For nail fill- 3.5 star. Lashes- Sofia did amazing work. She took her time and it was soooo relaxing. Hard not to fall asleep! The room was clean, bed was comfortable, neck pillow was perfect. I've had lashes done other places and the comfort and quality here was GREAT. Nails- I didn't get the woman's name. She was nice enough. But SO SLOW. Took almost 1.5 hours for a FILL. And the thickness is uneven and already bubbling in some spots (hasn't even been 24 hours). She took so long I thought it would be perfect- but no. If I hold my nails up to the light you can see the uneven line near my cuticles where she tried to fill. Overall I would absolutely recommend the Lash services. Not so much for nails though. I'll try nails one more time when I get lashes redone before I write them off completely.

Gel tips
Idalgiza G.

I went in today with my daughter and I got a gel full set and pedicure and my daughter got a manicure and pedicure. The young woman who helped me was very nice, but I didn't love my nails....I wanted my nails to look as natural as possible and explained i liked the pictures on Yelp and how narrow the tips looked. I explained I didn't like when they are thick and boxy...well that's exactly what I got. I think she did her best, it just wasn't what I wanted. A different woman did my daughters nails and pedicure and did my pedicure and did a great job. I think I'd go back, just not for tips.

I like the way they shaped my fingernails (some of my nails are naturally pretty round, others squared) and the color was applied evenly.
Lea S.

I've had a very pleasant experience at this salon. They didn't rush through the manicure but also didn't leave me waiting. I felt like I was taken care of well and am happy with the result! The variety of colors to choose from is not the biggest but definitely well enough, I even found the tone that would match my dress. Color was applied in two coats and I didn't see any flaws. Overall the salon seemed clean and I noticed that the equipment that was being used on me got washed right away. The biggest cleanliness struggle that I've found in other salons are the bowls they give you to soak your hands. At Sofia's they put plastic wrap inside the bowl before filling it with liquid, to make sure everything stays hygienic and clean. After the soaking they just threw the liquid and the plastic cover out. Generally, I'd refer this salon to a friend.

Eyelash extensions by Sofia.
Allison A.

I got eyelash extensions for the first time from Sofia last week for a wedding I had this past weekend. She did a really amazing job and exactly what I wanted. She explained everything perfectly. It was very calm and relaxing. The lashes look great and I will be coming back for touch ups!

Sophia is the BEST eyelash extension artist around! Noone could even tell that my lashes were fake, she takes her time and is truly talented

Hands down best waxer in town! CHRISTY IS HIGHLY SKILLED!…read morePAINLESS waxing! She knows what she's doing, professional & respectful. Been coming here for a few visits, Deya (front/receptionist) is always eager to help, she is patient and polished. You cannot to wrong with CHRISTY she's experienced, first wax is either half off or FREE.

Today i experienced by far the WORST wax I've ever had in my life. One thing I've always notice…read morewith this wax company is whenever your regular waxer has to cancel on you, they ALWAYS give you someone that isn't the best and the experience is never good. I've been getting waxes for 3 years now and 2 with this company. I've never had to tell a waxer to stop what they are doing mid wax because the pain is that unbearable. Literally to the point of me crying my eyes out. What pissed me off is the girl that waxed me told me my pain is coming from my hairs being too long. I instantly knew that was BS because I've gotten waxes looking like a bear on the wax table multiple times and NEVER HAS IT BEEN THIS UNBEARABLY PAINFUL. I could also tell she either wasn't trained well or didn't have any experience because she focused on one area of my body vs bouncing off body parts like a waxer would normally do. She focused on my Brazilian area for about 30 mins continuously applying wax over and over again. I asked her if my skin was red or bleeding and she told me no, but the moment i sat up to look my whole Brazilian area was very red and bumpy from the pain and amount of time she went over it. Normally when someone is doing a Brazilian on me, it takes about 5-7 mins if that. I've never experienced a wax session this bad. And on top of all that, she couldn't finish because she felt uncomfortable to do so with is understandable, but the fact that i am literally getting on a plane to Mexico tomorrow is a HUGE inconvenience to me! Now im forced to shave the body parts she didn't get to. I haven't shaved in 3 years because I am a consistent waxer. The fact i have to shave the rest is utterly disappointing and frustrating. I am beyond upset and lost for words at my experience today.

First time visit for a pedicure with Annie (the no-polish pedicure as I am taking a polish break…read morefor the winter), scheduling online was easy and I like salons that have that option. It was quite busy at 10:30 on a Thursday morning, so I'm glad I booked the night before! The only part that was NOT comfortable was the pedicure bench/chair itself: I am 5'9" (which I don't think is all that tall?) and my legs were at an uncomfortable angle while my feel were soaking and being worked on. Another 3-4" to stretch would have been perfect, so if you are taller than me, take note! Outside of the seating situation, Annie got my feet ready before a full pedicure in April and tamed my cuticles which were looking rough (literally and figuritively). I was not offered the 10% discount for first-time visit, so disregard that on the business page here.

Beware of this place. Not only did I get a terrible ingrown toenail infection that has lasted…read moremonths on and off, but when I initially returned (because I loved my manicures) and told them about the painful experience, they weren't apologetic in the slightest. Instead, they asked if a certain person had done it and when I said I wasn't sure, they told me that that's been happening with many of her customers. If you go here, bring your own nail tools and watch how they cut your cuticles. I didn't and now I've experienced months of various doctors and procedures.
