    I absolutely would never recommend anyone to ever come here and waste your money! they'll scam you and up charge on a pedicure! I asked for regular nail polish and the tech made it known to himself to use a gel drying light! when I only needed regular polish and to enjoy my day getting my toes done. thank you for making today such an awful experience! signing off one pissed off mother!!!

    they could care less about quality they focus more on making money.

    They did a horrible job doing my nails, they rushed, they charge me $80 for the set. They find my cuticles, and now I have to go back to get the job done. They will take your Man gladly, but have no integrity for quality.

    RUN! They will give you fungus and then call their cop friend on payroll to slap you with charges after you go ask for an apology/ refund.

    Excellent, safe, accommodating. We're getting ready for a family wedding. Daughter and I did pedicures, dip nails. She had tips also. Everyone in a mask, temperatures taken, Shields in place. We are VERY happy with the end results. Thank you, team!

    5 STARS! Amazing, very detailed job. I'm glad I finally found a go-to nail salon in Chattanooga!

    I'm from Memphis, here in Chattanooga for school. I thought it'd be hard to find a nail place that meets my standards. The scenery is appropriate and there's a multicultural client. The prices are not sky rocketed and they're willing to try new ideas and are great at mimicking photos! ** I don't have a specific nail tech I prefer yet from this location. I absolutely love this place. Immediate seating EVERY time I walk in! I get a gelled full set every time, and I'm always satisfied. The staff is very polite, and the complimentary water bottles hit the spot! They recently got a new gel color collection, and it's absolutely beautiful. I never spend over $55 (keep in mind I get a longer length, shaped nails, extra colors, glitters, and eyebrow waxing). The price is very much appropriate for the quality. I spend no longer than 40 minutes here! Even got a birthday promo code (that I missed, sadly), but I appreciate the pros of being a member. They prefer cash, but card is definitely an option. 4/5 stars because I was unsatisfied with a painting before. I got a split nail, right down the middle--two different colors. The line through the middle was very much crooked and the colors overlapped; looked a bit messy. However, I returned and explained it, and my next set was absolutely precise.

    Natural nail dip  Pinkie polish dull at tip...top coat miss?

    New to the area and have been going to this location for the past few months. Natural nails are dipped by Jenny and she's provided perfect service every time! Shaped as described, attention to detail and lasts from 2.5-3 weeks! Had my eyebrows waxed by her as well....perfect! I loved 1 in 3 pedicures and the best was on my very first visit. Today's pedicure lacks cuticle and callous attention...I literally had to buff out once home, again. Pedi's seem to be more rushed than relaxing. The salon offers complimentary soda, water and wine. Sometimes I was offered a beverage, but more often, I have to request water. Overall a decent place, just sucks to pay for pedi services and have to come home to finish the job. Nails and brows it is for me!

    Gel polish: uneven surface, bubbles in gel, polish on fingers

    Went in to get a gel manicure which ended up having bubbles in the gel, gel polish on my fingers (scrapped some off the bottom of my fingers already), and an uneven/bumpy gel surface of nails (ie- it's not smooth like you want your nails to be). To top it off the place didn't seem very clean and even though they clearly had beverages (wine, coke, sprite, and water) in a fridge for their customers I wasn't offered one. First time getting my nails done at this location. It was recommended to me by a friend and I won't be going back.

    This place is awesome. Probably my favorite dip powder manicure ever. I bite my nails and I keep them super short when I get them done, but I LOVE these.

    Plain nails w matte polish. Not happy.
    Mandy L.

    Don't go here. Got matte nails, regular acrylic, & was over charged for the coffin shape, even though they were short. Nails looked scuffed before I ever left. Was quoted $40, but paid $60, at the end. No designs. He left paint, glue & residue on my hands. Nothing complicated. Just over priced and over rated. Don't shop here.

    After my most recent experience at the nail bar in Hamilton place, i definitely would not recommend them! They called me 10 times back to back (obviously i couldn't answer, but my phone kept on ringing). Then proceeded to call my friend i went to the salon with.. When i finally was able to answer, it was them accusing me of not paying - saying they remember me paying by card, but they don't have the money. I thought it was maybe because i paid under my friends rewards phone number since i live out of town now. I tried to explain that and they said that was not the issue and they couldn't look up the payment by phone number because the payment just wasn't there. They then asked multiple times for my payment over the phone even it had already been pulled out of my bank account. And they were so rude when i refused to send another payment by venmo or cashapp. And then once i finally blocked them, employees began calling me back to back with their personal phones. I answered again, for them to say they needed a new payment since i didn't pay the first time, and they would refund the first payment... how do you refund a payment you "don't have" though?? Interesting. Once i sent a picture of the transaction from my bank app (disgusting to even ask, but i felt bad they thought i stole from them so i sent it), they left me alone. But harassing a customer for payment, is absolutely not acceptable - especially when they have paid and you state that you remember them paying, you just don't have the money! Unacceptable behavior. Also, they definitely have the money, it was never refunded and the transaction is still there days later, total including the tip.

    This was 20 minutes after leaving. I didn't even bump it. It came off in one big chip.

    I have been a loyal client at Honey Bunny for over three years, consistently scheduling waxing…read moreappointments every five weeks. Over that time, I have spent between $2,250 and $2,475 on services. Unfortunately, a recent experience has made it clear that continued loyalty holds little value at this business. Due to an unforeseen work emergency, I was unable to make a 5:30 PM appointment. I am fully aware of their cancellation policy, but I had no control over the situation and made an effort to communicate and reschedule. Despite this, I was charged a 35% cancellation fee, which came to $18.25. What made this more frustrating is the fact that the same technician had other availability that day, and the time could have easily been rebooked with another client. Rather than choosing to work with a dependable and long-standing customer, the business chose to enforce a fee without consideration of the context. Ironically, that small fee turned out to be a turning point. I have since switched to sugar waxing, and the improvement in service is undeniable. No more burns from wax that's too hot, no skin trauma from wax that's too cold, and absolutely no redness or irritation. The difference in quality and care speaks for itself. It's also important to note that over the course of three years, I experienced significant turnover among estheticians, making it difficult to maintain consistent quality and rapport. While policies are important, so is discretion -- and in this case, the lack of flexibility cost them far more than the $18 they collected. They may have followed their policy, but in doing so, they made it clear that customer loyalty is not a priority. A small fee was gained, but a loyal client -- and future revenue -- was lost.

My daughter and I ended the day feeling relaxed -- which may be the bottom line -- but the experience itself wasn't knock-your-socks-off wonderful. My facial was basically a series of applications -- serums, masks, tonics -- with no extractions. (The facialist I've seen at home, finds plenty to extract!) My daughter on the other hand, had some blackheads removed. The body glow was a total waste of time and money. (Again, my spa in Marietta has a special water bed devoted to this, and you walk out feeling refreshed and tingly.) Here, the massage therapist rubbed a sugar solution on my back, wiped it off with a warm cloth .... and that was pretty much it. The day spas that I go to give patrons a robe and a drape (for the facial), plus a locker with key. Erin said that because of the structure of our day, they didn't do that. (My daughter and I each had four services.) My favorite spa at home offers serene sitting rooms with fruit, cheese, crackers and reading matter. The sitting rooms here are simply low-lit holding rooms, with strangers sitting awkwardly across from each other, pulling out phones to avoid eye contact. A plus, for those who live in Chattanooga, are the last minute discount deals. But for visitors planning a special spa outing, this place may leave you disappointed. Something also a bit odd: I asked one of the practitioners who the owner of "A Better You Spa" is. She replied, "I'm not allowed to tell you. The owner doesn't want anyone to know who she is."
