Chrome gel mani
Ruta G.

Great spot for sugar hair removal! Alison does an amazing job! Another huge plus that they have a nail salon here- saved myself time and also got a chrome gel mani and regular pedicure.

Mani/Pedi
Lauren C.

This place is awesome! I called in day of and was able to schedule an appointment with no wait time. The spa is clean, pretty, and it's easy to find parking. The ladies who did my mani/pedi were so nice and took their time. I will definitely be coming back here!

Gel pedicure after initial classic pedicure was smudged and removed.
Jessica D.

I recently decided to treat myself to a gel manicure and regular pedicure on a monthly basis. Sol Y Luna is walking distance from my home, so I thought I'd give this place a try. Per their website, they only do nails Wednesday through Sunday, so I sent a text for a Wednesday appointment. Apparently, they no longer do nails on Wednesdays, so they convinced me to come in for an appointment that evening instead. I shuffled my schedule around so I could make it in for the gel manicure and classic pedicure ($65). I came in with the salon completely empty and three employees sitting around. As I was selecting my colors, I showed one of the staff a simple design I wanted: just two simple brush strokes across the nail. All of a sudden, all three staff members swarmed around me. One of them started telling me that, oh no, they don't do design there. She claimed that only salons that do acrylics do design (not true) and that it's only so they can squeeze more money out of me (paying a little extra was not an issue for me). She went on and on about this. Then, she said she probably COULD do it, but she doesn't have time! She has so many customers to tend to! Again, the salon was completely empty except for myself and the staff. The entire "lecture" was uncomfortable and I was spoken to as if I were a child. Not wanting to argue, and since I was already there, I chose a simple pink for my manicure and a burgundy/chocolate color for my pedicure. The lady began working on my nails, sanding down the existing gel manicure I had (which was beautifully done overseas). The gel application process was lengthy, which made it seem as if she was being extra detailed and thorough. Unfortunately, the end result was a lumpy, uneven application. My pinky was also cut. The pedicure, in the meantime, consisted of lukewarm water. I asked the nail technician to not cut down my toenails too much as it's really uncomfortable when wearing closed-toe shoes. He cut down my nails as short as they can possibly go AND my big toe was extremely uneven. The lady who had lectured me took over after that and she tried cutting it down further to even it out, which was extremely painful so I told her to stop and leave it. She took her time painting my toes with three coats of polish. Before I could even move out of my chair when instructed, the polish smudged. It was closing time, so I was worried they'd try to send me home with the ruined polish. Instead, after some thinking, she said they'd have to start all over and quickly removed the polish, and convinced me to get gel on my toes, too, at no extra charge. I wanted a similar dark color, but she insisted I just get the pink used on my hands so it would take less coats and I'd be done faster. Wanting to go home, I agreed. The gel application on my toes ended up looking much better than on my hands. I paid, tipped, and left. Just days later, the manicure started to lift on the sides of my nails. As my nails started growing out, the lumpy application was more obvious. Finally, a week and a half later, a huge chunk of gel polish has lifted and broken off of my nail. I'm not rough on my hands and have had regular manicures last longer than this. My experience at Sol Y Luna was poor and I would not go back. The work is mediocre and the treatment I received was not pleasant.

Gorgeous work by Tina
Stephanie A.

My new favorite spot! Allison and Henry are great, always welcoming and always making sure customers leave happy. Tina is my fave nail girl by far. I found this gem after living in the neighborhood for over a year and glad I did. Organic products, high quality gels and selections. It's hard finding a place that provides service and quality these days and Sol Y Luna Spa does. My nails typically last me 3-5 weeks and occasionally we get goodies while waiting on our nails curing :) thanks team!

Alex C.

After visiting several sub-par nail salons, I found this gem in my neighborhood less than a year ago and have been coming here ever since! Henry and Allison are always so welcoming and make you feel at home. Tina always does my gel manicure and she does an amazing job! She's very meticulous and a perfectionist which I really appreciate. I always walk out extremely happy with my new mani and pedi. Not to mention that the polish lasts forever before any signs of chipping!

Gel mani going strong after more than a month
Danielle B.

These guys are awesome. I should have written this review preCOVID. But I have even more evidence for how good they are. I got a gel mani on Feb 28 and it's still amazingly chip free! I wish I had someone other than my husband to see how good these nails still look. I also wish I knew how to get the gel off once the bottom of the polish inches up further. Here's hoping I don't totally ruin my nails when the time comes to try removing this. And here's hoping Sol y Luna is going strong post COVID.

I can't live without them! To say that Allison is amazing at what she does would be an understatement. The eyebrow threading... So precise and fast. She actually listens to what you want and they always come out perfectly. I rather have two caterpillars up there before I let anyone else touch my eyebrows. The bikini waxing/sugaring... Can you say spectacular?!! She is so damn fast and leaves everything so smooth. It's never easy to go through this but shes so fast the pain is minor. Not only does she do a great job but she always has a way to make you feel so comfortable. She knows how to hold a conversation without being overbearing. And last but not least... THE NAILS!!! I mean, oh my goodness she's good!! She administers the polish so precisely while still being super quick. She always makes sure you leave with the most beautiful nails. My gel manicure usually lasts 2 full weeks with almost no cracks or chips... It never lasts this long when I get them done anywhere else.

Had a gel manicure peel off three fingers after 48 hours. Generally just room appears dirtier & dirtier each time I go and there's lots of conversation between techs that feels like judgement of clients. UPDATE: Owner personally contacted me and wants me to try again. I have a service scheduled in a couple days. I do think they care,. I'm giving it another try. UPDATE # 2: Went in for my complimentary classic mani/pedi. They were right on it: no waiting, right to business. Both the mani and pedi went well. I did have to ask for a drying machine for my mani, just to be sure it would dry. I'm grateful they offered me this service for free and I feel better about it all. They care and really tried. I left a big tip for both technicians and I will consider coming back again. I should ask for specific people if I do go back. I think it matters.

She has helped improve my acne-prone skin tremendously. She is skilled, gentle, and professional. One thing I truly appreciate about Winnie is that she never pressures me to buy products, unlike many other beauty salons. Over all these years, she has only recommended what I actually needed. When I was struggling with acne, she recommended just one acne treatment serum, and it really made a difference! I've always had a wonderful experience with her. I highly recommend Winnie!

My facialist was Winnie, and overall the experience was fine -- efficient and straightforward. The facial itself was thorough, including gentle but effective extractions using the traditional finger method, and they also added a neck massage during the process, which was a nice bonus. They use a combination of Korean skincare products (I noticed Cellmax / Cellmax Fusion). Is it amazing? Not exactly. Not bad, but not excellent either. It's one of those places where you go when you just want to get a facial without needing anything fancy. Would I go back? I'm not sure -- mostly because I no longer live in the area. But when I did live nearby, it was a convenient, reliable option for a quick facial.

However, my last visit left me a little disappointed because while it was extremely relaxing and the service was great, I'm not so happy with how my actual nails turned out :-( I did the Volcano Spa service for both my pedicure and manicure which were absolutely lovely, along with gel remove and gel on both my fingers and toes. The 10 minutes of massage for both were so nice, especially the shoulders and upper back that came with the manicure. But during the gel remove, the gel on my fingers was removed with the drill. It was the same on my toes but I don't have an issue there. Normally I wouldn't mind, but my natural fingernails were drilled down so thin that even though I cut my nails short, they're ripping at the ends with normal daily wear and tear. I went on Saturday morning and I've had two nails rip at the ends already and it is only Tuesday morning. I'm not sure if it was because I came in with long nails already (imagine asking for a medium-long set) and they may have been mistaken for gel-x or something of the sort, but it was just my natural nails with gel on top. I can even feel on all of my fingernails just how thin they were drilled down because suddenly all my nails are very flimsy, even with several gel coats on top. The rest of the service and experience were great, so it's a bit disappointing to feel like I regret how much I paid because of how weak my fingernails became after this appointment. Regardless I would still return in the future if I want the pampering experience, but if I can do without the massage and just need my nails done I may choose another salon instead. Just something to note if you're someone who is worried about your nail strength. UPDATE 8/4 9:48PM: Another nail ripped pretty far down just from scratching my head :-(
