I have been coming to Wanderlust on and off for a few months now. I typically do like the end…read moreresults of my manicure and pedicure. This time, however, made me view the salon and management differently. I showed the nail technician a photo of red chrome nails with the middle two nails having red French tips, which would be my Valentine's Day nails. She told me she could do it. I even left the photo up on my phone for some time so that she can reference it, if needed. As I saw her painting the red French tips, I informed her that they were a different shade of red from the other nails. She showed me the two products (gel and powder) and that they are the same shade number. I proceeded to let her finish as I thought that the end results may be different. It was not. She then added the "chrome" finish. I told her that it wasn't shiny at all nor looked like chrome and had a pearlescent finish instead. She told me that it was very popular with clients. She absolutely disregarded what I was saying to her. She also cut my skin while running the drill alongside my cuticles. At this point, the manager entered the conversation. I showed him the picture and he told me that the photos found online for inspiration "all have filters on them." He pretty much sided with the technician and saw no wrong. They both then told me to go wash my hands and see how the nails look in the sun. I did so and saw no difference from when I was seated at my chair. I was baffled that the manager could not see what was wrong. He did not offer to rectify the situation. I even asked for another type of coat that would make my nails shiny. They could not offer that to me for whatever reason. I clearly walked out with hideous nails. Even if I find someone who can replicate a photo here, the management alone would be reason not to go here. I paid for my service here out of respect for their time, but will not be returning and I urge others to do the same. Please see the photos I have provided.

I LOVE Valerie's!!! I moved to Richmond from ATX a little over 3 years ago and was particularly…read moreworried about finding someone whom I could depend on to do an excellent job on my nails. I have to have nails as mine are too weak on their own. Let me preface that I'm a picky lady and once I find someone I'm going to be a loyal client for years to come. But I am not afraid to pop around to find someone- hence me still not settling in with a hairstylist. Haha! Before moving I had just been introduced to dip powder. Valerie's is nearby my new neighborhood so I figured I'd give them a try. 3 years later, I still come religiously to have multiple services done. Valerie and Donny are the awesome owners and although I rely on Valerie to do my nails, Donny has done them for me a couple of times and they are always great. I have needed maybe 2 repairs this whole time and they have always fixed them quickly and without charging. I have rarely had an issue getting an appointment and I typically have to call last minute due to my crazy work schedule. Valerie makes me feel like a treasured client whenever I arrive, greeting me with a smile. She has a great staff; numerous technicians have given me pedicures over the years. Jenny is great! Cindy is awesome! Anne is fantastic and Jennifer is also excellent!!! I have also gotten waxing services from Valerie and she takes her time to make sure she does it right. Angel does lashes there too and although I have yet to try lashes myself, I've seen so many ladies walk out looking gorgeous! I appreciate their punch card system... it's fun to get rewarded for being a repeat customer. I like that I can sip wine and catch up with Valerie or read and relax while I'm there. If you're looking for a place to try, you won't be disappointed with Valerie's.

(I was considering going back to Shellac due to their limited color choices for dip) I saw reviews for Valerie's on Yelp and decided to give it a try.

Jenny was my nail tech and did a great job!! She was very pleasant & thorough. I was pleased with both my nails, and polish change on my toes. The salon was clean. Restrooms were immaculate & very well designed. They also have a frequent visit punch card that earns you a discount after so many services $25 and up. I've found my new nail salon!!!

My lashes shedded off a lot I noticed but I don't mind paying weekly however overall they did not last. The receptionist even questioned if I was calling the right place when the salon is 2 minutes from my house. I intentionally chose this place so I wouldn't have to drive to River oaks to get my lashes done but not now I'm upset I'm going to have to rearrange driving out far because of poor scheduling and communication with how they are booking clients and organizing the schedule. The woman even raised her voice at me slightly. I'm honestly very disappointed because my lash girl was actually nice. The receptionist could have handled this a lot better.

I highly recommend Live Lash Love by Josie!!!…read more Almost a year ago, I tried a different lash studio and was horribly frustrated with the entire experience. It was painful. My lashes were stiff and uncomfortable. And the lashes were far more dramatic than natural looking like I had requested. A friend then recommended Josie.

The salon is light and bright, and Josie has quiet music playing in the background. The whole experience is relaxing and refreshing! I cannot say enough good things about Josie.

My eyes would get really irritated and the lashes fell off left and right. The last time I got them done. I went back the very next day to have the fall out fixed and the same thing happened so I decided lashes weren't for me. For some reason I decided at the beginning of the year, I wanted to give lashes a try again and I am happy I did. Jenna understood what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. She was quick so I was surprised at how long my lashes lasted. At three weeks. I went back for a fill and it did not look like I needed it. She cleans the lashes without burning my eyes and that's a big deal for me. My eyes aren't red when we are finished and I always manage to get a really good nap in....
