15 Years with Kat -- Feels Like Coming Home I've been seeing…read moreKat (Katherine Vrabec) for over 15 years, and every single visit still feels special. She's incredibly talented -- truly the best of the best -- but it's the experience of being in her chair, in her space, that keeps me coming back year after year. Her shop doesn't just feel like a salon. It feels like home. Warm, welcoming, and full of good energy -- the kind of place where you can exhale, relax, and just be yourself. Kat brings that energy with her. She listens, she cares, and she pours so much heart into everything she does. When it comes to hair, she's a total artist. Her eye for color is unmatched, and she always nails the look I'm going for -- whether it's something bold or just a little refresh. I've walked out feeling confident, beautiful, and 100% myself every single time. Fifteen years in, I can say this with complete confidence: Kat isn't just the only person I trust with my hair -- she's someone I truly look forward to seeing. She stays effortlessly up to date with the latest styles and trends, combining that knowledge with her exceptional talent and genuine care. Her presence is grounding, her skill unmatched, and I'm endlessly grateful to have her in my life.

A great find! I…read moremoved back to my SMALL hometown and after living in LA for the last 16 years I thought finding the kind of quality service I had grown accustomed to would be difficult. I couldn't wait anymore for an appt with my LA estheticians and called to many places around town for a specific type of service. Much to my dismay I couldn't find a local spa that offered what I wanted. FORTUNATELY I found her online and booked an appointment for the next day. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised to find a quaint location near downtown that spoke to the "spa" feeling I was hoping for. Nice cozy seating area, with that lovely spa sent of lavender in the air. Good assortment of product on the shelves. The owner and esthetician Elia Brummell greeted me right away and took me to the room after paperwork was filled. The room was immaculate with all her waxing product extremely clean and organized. She was very professional and thorough in her explanation on her services and during the appointment. I'll definitely be back and if you're in need of a local place here in Merced, I give her a five stars!! Yeah!!! :)

It felt pretty clean but by far it was the most expensive and the worst acrylic fill I have ever gotten. I keep my nails totally basic. I don't even usually get color on them just nude acrylic powder and clearcoat. This is what I asked for, but somehow it ended up with polish. My nails are not shaped well and there are rough uneven edges. Lots of Dips & bumps and just don't look right. To be honest I am kind of embarrassed of them. They def don't look like I just got them freshly filled. I did have a broken nail, which would add to the cost, but I still think that a little over $70 was quite steep. The lady was nice and friendly, but I will not be returning. I don't mind paying the price if the finished result looks nice. I am very disappointed to say the least. I was really hoping that I had found a new nail salon to visit often. Unfortunately I will not be returning.
