Rachel T.

Frustrating experience mired with miscommunication. I wanted to try the builder gel, and the technician asked if I wanted neutral or clear. I hesitated because I was thinking, and the technician asked if I wanted to see the pricing and then showed me the neutral color, which was a pretty pink and she said would look like my neutral nail. I decided to choose the natural color. I then overhead the technician next to me explaining to my sister the benefits of clear builder gel, something that my technician did not explain and would've been helpful to know. After the builder gel was applied, it did NOT look like my natural nail at all. It was like a white plaster. In an attempt to salvage it, I asked if I could get a color like my sister was doing, and she said yes. I also wanted a silver pearl chrome. She gave me colors to choose from, and I was trying to find something with a more pink color. However before I could decide, the technician grabbed the colors from me and said that she would choose for me. She showed me a color, and I just said yes because at this point I was extremely frustrated with the experience. Also, the technician was extremely unprofessional. It seemed like she was more interested in talking with the other technicians (which I'm usually fine with but this time it seemed like that was all she wanted to do). In the middle of the appt, she pushed her chair back to talk with another tech for a few seconds. And then towards the end, she half heartedly gave me cuticle oil because she had her body half turned around facing the other techs to talk. A waste of money and experience. These were my birthday nails, and I have never been more disappointed and frustrated.

I tried the head spa experience recently, and I highly recommend it. The actual massage room is inside the nail salon, which is very clean and beautifully decorated by the way I was escorted to the room first had a scan of my scalp where I was shocked to see the buildup in the roots of my hair after that, the treatment starts with lots of massaging to the hair and upper body as well as the neck and shoulders. There is a constant steam as well and relaxing music. It is truly a spa experience. I also got the mini facial and after a blissful time, your hair is blow dried and then you do an after scan where I was pretty amazed how all the buildup and other gunk in my roots were gone. Sydney is extremely pleasant. I highly recommend this experience.

after getting top coat "fixed"

this was my first time at the Nail Bar in fairfax. I'd been going to a different salon since moving to the area but thought i'd try something closer to me. After my initial appointment on a Wednesday I was very happy with my nails. Anna took a lot of time on my nails and was very meticulous, so I was very surprised when by Friday I had noticed the top coat peeling. I've gotten gel fills for years now and this has never happened to me. I did notice that she was using builder gel which comes in a bottle, but the one I've always seen used comes in a pot and is thicker, hard gel. When I asked if they were the same thing she told me yes so I took her word for it. I got chrome as well, but I noticed she put the color, top coat, chrome, then top coat again. I've only seen top coat over the whole thing not in between steps but figured she's the professional and knows what she's doing. On Friday when I noticed my nails peeling I called and asked if I could get them repaired, due to my work schedule the soonest I could come was Monday so they were very accommodating. When I came to get them fixed Anna took off the top coat and repolished + put chrome back on, then proceeded put the builder gel (from a bottle) as a top coat. the receptionist came over to tell her something and questioned this, and she responded that "the top coat didn't work for me". I feel like technique and also the products being used (top coat, builder gel) need to be addressed. I'll see how this repair holds up, but I can't say for sure if I'll be back regardless.

Expectations:

Do not recommend my expectations were not met. I was very disappointed I spent $100 on these terrible nails.

My infection.

This nail salon used to be really nice to go to! Ever since they changed management, it's awful. I got a pedicure last time, and my toe is an absolute mess. I have a fungal infection. As soon as you stand up from the chair, they are shoving their phones in your face for a tip. STAY AWAY!!!!

Gel Polish coming off

Went in two days ago for a gel pedi and manicure . Everyone was nice but everything was rushed and I came in around 5pm and they close at 7:30. I picked the color black but the very next day my big toe nail polish started peeling off. I went in so they could correct it and they did with no problem however not even 15 mins after leaving my left toe nail polish came right off and I had flip flops on. Also they drilled the polish off and my big toes nail bed have been hurting ever since The polish must not be good or their technique on applying it isn't that great. I'm sad bc that was money wasted. Again, they were very nice but I will be searching for another nail salon.

Got my brows cleaned up here. They did a fantastic job. Minimal pain and redness. Thank you guys!read more

Because I'm an avid yelper, of course I went straight to yelp as a resource to help me find…read moreservices nearby. I've lived in the mosaic district 2 years this month (Dec.). I apparently attempted to try this business some time ago, thus I receive text alert coupons. I usually only wax in warmer months, pre-vacay, or prior to my annual girls trip. Im still not a real fan due to my horrible grow back struggles with ingrown hairs. Then after a positive experience elsewhere and my friend saying "waxing with consistency" will decrease ingrowns and your hair becomes softer, finer and takes longer to grow back each time. For this reason, I have attempted to continue on a schedule. I tried to book with Ms. Annie's a few times online. My account wouldn't work, so I called to get some assistance on this day. The young lady on the phone was in a rush. I wanted her to help get my online account working properly so I would have the ability to select any available appointments slots posted, service provider, and have option to cancel/ reschedule within limits posted. Instead of helping to get my online account working, she simply booked the appointment. I called back in less than 15 minutes to request a change. She said, I'll make the change, but you'll have a $50 fee whenever you reschedule. I was mortified! That wasn't really smart. The only thing it did was solidify that I definitely will never book at this business!!! Poor customer service and vibes!! Also the online scheduling system didn't work well at all!
