I went to him with brittle, cracked nails and he helped me strengthen my nails and maintain my nail length. I've become a regular customer and each session with Son Le has been wonderful. He's gentle, careful, and friendly. He's also been helpful when I've been stuck between different nail polish options, haha. The space is clean, spacious, and open and they have a great selection of nail polishes (jelly, cat eye, etc.). If you're looking for a manicure with builder gel, I highly recommend Son Le at Blossom Nails Lounge :D

Very nice!! They did an amazing job. I highly recommend coming to get your nails done here!read more

BEWARE OF THE OWNER- extremely aggressive and rude, even in front of his young daughter…read more This is a very disappointing review to write and I'm sure the owner knows it's coming, as he is the reason for the one star. I always get a standard mani pedi and have been coming since before covid but decided for Valentine's Day I wanted a fun design, so I scheduled with Kim. She worked very hard on the design and it was well done. Unfortunately, the neon color I chose looked very different after being so many times under the UV that it completely lost its brightness. She was nice to go over the design and see if we could get a prettier color, which we did get in the end. The problem was that with dip as well as the extra coats, the polish was super thick and that was probably going to be something I would pick at. While I was debating if I should have her remove it right away (which I know is a charge we had already discussed earlier in the session) or think about it overnight and come back tomorrow to remove or redo it to a regular polish, I asked her if she had any availability and her husband/owner abruptly cut in saying "THEN WE WILL CHARGE YOU DOUBLE!" I calmly said I understood and that I never said I wasn't going to pay for the services. I had been at the salon for 2 hours with Kim working hard, but that does not mean that I have to like it or that I won't pay for a redo to regular polish or the removal. I repeated to him that I was sorry he'd dealt with people before who weren't as nice and I would have obviously paid for the next services but now I guess I'll have to go somewhere else to have it taken care of. This was very heartbreaking because I could see Kim looking down and I still think she did a good job and I hope she knows that. I just didn't like the way the polish felt sticking so far out from my fingers due to all of the coats. I clicked the pay button on Venmo which I hadn't done yet since I was deciding whether or not I should have her remove the polish right away and would add that charge to the total and then later as I was leaving the owner yelled, "DID YOU PAY?!" while still sitting in the massage chair. Kim and I both told him yes and I left feeling like I just broke up with someone. I'm actually tearing up as I write this. I'm so disappointed and want the polish removed even more now so I don't have to look at it and be reminded of him.

I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. I was asked to pick my color and their were so many options. I like lighter soft shades and to my surprise they had a lot of choice for that. This is the first place where I was taking my time and having a dilemma on what to choose so that was very refreshing. Two technicians did my fingers and toes simultaneously. They also got the massager turned on on my chairs. They did the usual cleaning, nail cutting, filling, pushing the cuticle and all of that. The bonus was they gave me a leg, neck and shoulder massage. The price was very reasonable. They do take a card but I did tip in cash. It's a small place so I recommend calling before going in. You might have a short wait sometimes. They also do designs and they are good at them. I will definitely coming back!

I'll be back again soon as this is my regular nail spot. I recommend if you are looking for an affordable, high quality, and vegan friendly salon!

And yet, my experience today left me feeling completely awful and I won't be coming back. I've spent thousands of dollars a this place over the years - have also brought in my daughters. Today, when picking my color, I accidentally knocked over another color bottle with my jacket. I felt horrible and apologized immediately. The woman at the front desk was kind and immediately started cleaning it up. I felt really bad. In any case, when it was time to check out, my total bill after being there for 2.5 hours was $170. Then the receptionist asked to me also pay $13.50 for the color that I broke. I don't mind the $13 - but I think it's a terrible business decision. I won't be coming back. 1) I think that it's just poor judgement to ask your loyal customer to pay for an accident especially when honestly it's not that much money and 2) much worst, the owner who was there and left just a minute before I checked out, was too scared to ask me herself and instead put it on an employee - I thought that it was such a poor move. It's totally unfair to the employee to be put in this position - she immediately became defensive and said that it wasn't her - but the owner who is requesting the payment. The whole situation left such a bad taste in my mouth - I really don't like it when employees get treated this way. It's so unfortunate that this occurred. And I used to really like the place.

I did indeed go to a different salon, and then tried to come back here, and I sure wish I hadn't. I…read morehad a hard gel fill here on 3/29, and all was fine. I went in again for a hard gel fill on 4/19 and asked for a milky French, and was given what is in the photo. It was lumpy and uneven. Later that day, I noticed space on the side between the gel and my nail on my right pointer. I went back that same day, and the same tech repaired it- I asked her to remove the gel and redo it, and she did. The next day I noticed the same thing on the tip of my left pointer- my hair was getting stuck. I sent a message via Instagram and the owner offered to repair it that evening. She did so by just filing off my natural nail underneath she then did a color change since the original French was so bad, which I appreciated. Less than a week later, the nail she repaired broke off. Probably because the natural nail underneath was filed away, so it was just a shelf of hard gel. At that point I had spent 3+ hours at the salon across three different trips, and I was done. I wrote via Instagram and asked for a refund. In doing so, I checked what I had been charged, and noticed I was charged $83. The fill is listed as $60, and French tips as $15, so I was overcharged. (I tipped $15 separately, they asked me not to tip on the card). I repeatedly brought this up and the owner claimed it was for the repairs, and she does not offer refunds on completed services. How was I charged for repairs that you didn't know you were going to make? It doesn't make sense. It's obvious there was a mistake made. I appreciate them attempting to correct the poor initial work, but I don't appreciate being overcharged and then gaslit when I ask to make it right.

I went to Lavender Nails after my wax appointment at European Wax Center because it was recommended…read moreto me by my waxer. I walked in and asked if there was availability for a pedicure. Dina, the owner, sat me in the second chair, but I ended up waiting about 20-30 minutes before being serviced. That was a little frustrating because they were not actually ready, and I would have preferred they were upfront about the wait instead of seating me immediately. I decided to look past it, stayed on my phone, and asked for the massage chair to be turned on while I waited. During my appointment, Dina removed my acrylics and commented negatively about the person who previously did my nails. I jokingly asked if she could do better, and she confidently said yes. I laughed and responded, "We'll see." I was also upfront and told her that if I came back, it meant I liked the service and if I didn't, then that would speak for itself. I got a white-tip deluxe pedicure, and while another employee worked on my nails, I continued talking with Dina. During the conversation, she asked if I knew someone named Joy. When I said no, she responded with something along the lines of, "You're not from the hood." That comment immediately made me uncomfortable because I viewed it as a microaggression rooted in stereotypes. I responded by saying, "That's crazy, why would you think that? I could be from the suburbs." After that, she laughed with another staff member and spoke in her native language. Later that day, after reflecting on the interaction, I realized I really wished I had addressed it more directly in the moment and told her that the comment was inappropriate. There were also other moments during the conversation including her reaction to finding out I was married that gave me the impression that I was not fitting whatever stereotype or perception she had in mind about Black women. That is something I think many Black people in America would understand without needing much explanation. Overall, I will not be returning. Between the unnecessary wait, the service not meeting my standards, and my uncomfortable interaction with Dina, this experience left a negative impression on me. The pedicure itself was not impressive enough to overlook the experience, and overall this place fell short in both professionalism and customer service. I've had much better experiences elsewhere, and I hope Dina takes this review as an opportunity to reflect on how her comments come across to clients moving forward.

That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit.
