    Lovely ambiance! Beautiful space! Reasonably priced! They do a gorgeous job on hair!!! Melissa is my normal stylist, but Mersades was able to squeeze me in this week. I always leave feeling like a knock out. My postpartum hair journey has been interesting, but these ladies have kept me looking great!

    'Life is more beautiful when you meet the right hairdresser', read the screen whilst I sat in the waiting room. And they aren't wrong. I almost don't want to write this review to keep this to myself.... but sharing is caring. I have found the most wonderful, talented, kind and awesome hair artist in JoAnn. She knows exactly how to cut curly hair, she provides a calm and relaxing environment, and really takes the time to get to know you and your hair. She dry cut my curls and styled my hair in two braids and a low bun for a ceremony I was attending shortly after my appointment. The salon is unexpectedly large when you walk through; there are plenty of work stations for their team to work at, and their salon services are vast(check their website!) The reception area is clean, stylish and inviting, and there's ample parking outside. I'm already booked in for my next visit - I was previously terrified before meeting JoAnn due to a terrible experience almost 2 years ago of someone butchering my hair. But she's a keeper, she made all my worries disappear the moment she introduced herself, so I'll be coming here more often. Thanks!

    I debated on whether or not to give a one star but I did have a ggood 1st haircut there a couple months ago with Mercedes. Today I went there to pretty much just get a trim. Since my hair wasn't styled I did show a picture for example which as you can see is a quite angled inverted bob which is what I got last time and I just ask that the back be may be a little bit shorter but to keep as much length as possible which should've been maybe half inch at the most cut off from my total length since I didn't get a cut that long ago. For reference my longest point was past my shoulder. My stylist seemed a little bit nervous and was not the most friendly but I was there for a haircut so that didn't bother me too much... after she trimmed the back she had me look to the side and down while she cut the sides when I looked forward and she asked how I liked that length I told her that I asked her to keep the length she said "oh sorry" I am not a confrontational person, (in fact I even tipped $5 which isn't much but I know people make mistakes) and what had happened was done, it's not like she could put my hair back at that point. She essentially gave me a mushroom cut and my hair was now not even chin length, it was just barely below my earlobe. I have never went home and cried about my hair but today I did. before I went home I had an errand to run close by so I sat in the parking lot for a minute just trying to process how and why what happened, happened. So I decided to call and this is probably the biggest reason why besides my hair that I decided to go ahead and leave a review... when I called one girl answered and I asked who the manager was, she told me and I asked if she was available she said yes but I'll have to put you on hold I said that's fine, she pretty much immediately hung up on me. So I called back and asked for the manager and the girl that answered this time was a completely different person and she asked why I need to speak with her which I'm pretty sure is not something that I should've had to disclose but I said oh I was just in there not too long ago and I just wanted to talk to a manager and that's when she said my name and she told me who she was (Kayleigh, my stylist) so I just decided OK well she already knows that I'm calling to talk about her so I'll talk to her about it even though I shouldn't of had to and it was awkward for me I told her that my hair was nothing like what I asked her for and that I have never in my life had someone mess up this much on such a simple cut. At that point she told me that I should have taken care of it at the salon and that she would give me my money back, to which I told her that it wasn't about the money and I had even tipped, it was more about principle and what makes me upset about this experience is that she knew that I was calling after someone more than likely had to have informed her and she obviously knew that I wasn't happy with my haircut so why did she not take it upon herself while I was there to offer the compensation of a haircut while I was there? All in all I'm just really displeased with how things were handled and it's just really unfortunate because now I feel like it will be too awkward for me to come back in there and get a cut with someone else.

She cut my nails completely wrong, and then argued with me when I said one hand was longer than the other. she also cut my nail with the drill on several fingers to the point that I was bleeding and burning at my cuticles. I also had acrylic still stuck under my nails after. I've had better service there from the younger nail techs.

We finally got up to leave and someone walked over to us and said "mam, are you ready?!" Like we were the ones holding them up! We sat down and no one came to do our feet for another 10 mins. The nail tech digged her nails in my toes. The polish was put on sloppy and charged me $47 for a gel pedi that was half azzed! I went to pay and she throw my card back at me and did not say thank you or anything but instead just walked away!! Now I'm sad I missed my appointment at Moxie Nail bar. Never again will I go this location!

A friend I work with recommended her salon, Cream Nail Bar. I've been 5 times and currently sitting here enjoying my first pedicure with Jenny. I was able to make an appointment fairly quick. My first appointment was with T. She was great! I then was with Phoebe. She was awesome as well. Another appointment I was with Kokes. She was fantastic too. Of those three they all do nails a little differently. Nothing negative. You just have to speak up and talk about what you are looking for in your nails, and find your tech. It's nice having a plan a tech, plan b... ect. I guess that's the military spouse in me. All three respected and delivered my wishes. I average a nail appointment 10-12 days because I have nervous energy and end up picking at them. I am also hard on my nails. I do housework, clean, cook, garden ect. I just like them to look nice. All three were ok knowing they would see my face 3 times a month. My money, my nails. I average $50-$55 for a fill. A little higher than I've paid elsewhere. I've never seen a price list for my manicure/nails. But, I enjoy the service and quality. My pedicure will run me $55-$60 today. I've enjoyed it so far. Overall, a wonderful place for your nail needs. I highly suggest making an appointment and booking future appointments. I've found my new salon.

Within a few days of getting my nails done, one of my fingers became red, swollen, and painful. It progressively got worse and appeared infected. I've had my nails done many times before and have never experienced anything like this. I followed normal aftercare, so this was concerning. Looking back, I'm not confident the tools and setup met professional sanitation standards. I ended up having to remove the nail and treat the infection, which was uncomfortable and stressful. I'm not trying to attack anyone personally, but licensing and sanitation rules exist for a reason. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend going to a licensed nail technician who follows proper safety protocols.
