    Gel polish lifting

    I used to come here all the time but then the quality and customer service took a dip. I paid for nails and was always charged extra for the length even thought it wasn't crazy long. I came back once because my nail was so bumpy. The last time I came here I paid $90, $75 plus tip. I was happy with my nails but they started chipping and peeling right away. Last time I complained and returned, it was obvious people were talking about me in another language, the vibes are always super weird now. I don't feel like having to come back to make something right every time is unfair to me and it puts me in an uncomfortable situation because the nail techs can be a little rude in these cases. I may not speak the language but body language says a lot. I have not returned and never plan to do so. The gel layer started to peel like this on all nails, yes I pulled it up but that's how all the edges were lifting, the nail tech filed the nail which means the gel polish was not covering the ends. Within a week this whole set was trash and I took them off before two weeks were up.

    In town for a wedding and needed nails done! Got the express mani and Alex did an amazing job!!!! So happy with my nails. Everyone was friendly too.

    Acrylic with chrome finish

    Ive been going to Zen nails consistently this year and their staff are always kind and do quality work. Their salon is always inviting and clean, and Alex is fantastic with attention to detail especially in shaping my long acrylics that last for weeks.

    I went in with an appointment to get a pedicure. The man who did my pedicure was nice and friendly. I enjoyed that aspect. So I decided to get a manicure as well. The man who did my manicure was not very friendly at all and did not do a good job. My nails were wrinkly before I left the salon. I didn't realize someone else would be doing my manicure otherwise I probably would have skipped the manicure all together. All in all I don't think I will return or recommend this place unfortunately.

    I needed a quick manicure for an upcoming wedding and booked with Zen Nails after seeing the positive Yelp reviews. I messaged them on Yelp to request an appointment and didn't hear back, so I ended up calling to make an appointment. They got me in within a few days. The entrance from the parking lot is technically the back entrance, so you have to weave your way to the front of the store, which is a bit confusing. The front desk staffer told me to pick a nail color from the wall and wait for someone to take me for my appointment. The express manicure got the job done (nail cut/shaping and polish) and for $18, it's a steal. You pay for the manicure before they paint your nails so you don't fumble with your purse and wallet with wet nails - smart! At the end, you sit at a communal table with the UV lights to dry your nails. I wish there was a towel or something under my hands. It seemed a bit unsanitary to place my hands on a table that so many other people had touched. I also felt like overall the salon could've been slightly cleaner. If I'm in need of a quick mani, I'll return to Zen for the express service, but otherwise, I'll stick with my regular nail gal for manis/pedis.

    My mom started going here and at the time I haven't been getting my nails done but when I finally decided to get mine done I choose to go to Zen Nails and asked for Alice ( my mom's favorite) I'm obsessed... Alice is super sweet and always makes sure your nails are perfect! My nails are amazing, I never leave disappointed (:

    Fresh dip manicure

    Came here before my wedding for manicures and pedicures with my bridal party. We made appointments which were definitely needed for a bigger group. We all had great staff. Eric was my nail technician and did amazing! Over 2 weeks later and my dip still looks good and no chips. I would say the gel pedicure lasted much shorter than normal polish does. Eric recommenced the up charge to gel since I was going to the beach but all my gel peeled off in less than 2 weeks. I've definitely had normal polish last almost 2 months so I wouldn't do gel on my toes again. Lots of color options for gel & dips. Higher priced than other local nail salons but you did get wine / mimosas offered during your time there so that was a fun pampering perk!

    I loveee Zen Nails :) I moved to the area a few months ago & came here on a recommendation. The best mani & pedis you will find anywhereeee - Trust me, I'm done the leg (or nail?) work!! Loyal to sitting with Ni but also have sat with Eric and he's amazing too! I recommend this spot to everyone I know & suggest booking appointment (online booking is MY BEST FRIEND) or call in - they'll make it work!

    New favorite dip color!
    Niki B.

    They're still as amazing as ever! It's been a year since I last visited and they had SO many new colors available in gel and dip. Their team is so friendly -- one of the manicurists even remembered my name, even after all this time. My nails look perfect and I find that they always last a long time too. I booked appointment by messaging them on the Yelp app and they were quick to respond. When I got there, Taylor Swift was playing on the speakers, Schitt's Creek (with subtitles) was playing on the TVs, and I was fully relaxed. Always a fun and enjoyable visit!

    I got my nails done by Connie and I love them! She was quick and the designs turned out great. Highly recommend calling ahead as they book out in advance.

    I was just trying to find a nail place that accepted walk ins found this place on yelp they looked busy so I wasn't sure if they could take me. I was happy when they said they could fit me in at such last minute and Alice who did my nails was super sweet did a great job in a short amount of time and when I got my pedicure I was treated so well it's amazing!!

    Simple one hand manicure.

They offer individual waxing prices or memberships. You can call to make an appointment or do it online, it was very simple. I needed to cancel my original appointment that I booked online, so I called and they made it very easy to change it. I love how they have designated parking spots too. They have items for sale. I purchased the PFB roller and exfoliating gloves after Ariane said she highly recommended them and explained the benefits. I'm pleased with both items. The PFB roller was about $32 and the exfoliating gloves were $3.

Located on Main Street in Carmel, this multi-story spa offers all types of skincare services and sells quality skincare lines in the lobby. I'd been in to pick up a few products before, but finally booked a facial last week. I called ahead to book my appointment. I wanted them to assess what my skin needed, so I gave them my budget and told them to do whatever they thought was best in that price range. My esthetician, Rose, was amazing and did a great job clearly explaining what she was doing. She answered all of my questions in a helpful way and I learned that she has 14+ years of experience. She said that this is her favorite place she's worked because everyone here is passionate about skin and they get all of the new gadgets. She hydrated my skin, did a mini chemical peel (one with no downtime), microbladed my face (gets rid of all dead skin/hair/helps you be glowy), and did laser genesis to stimulate collagen and kill bacteria (potential acne). My face was super glowy after and my skin felt tight the following day. The products that she used were top of the line (IS Clinical, Babor, etc), so the price of the facial truly is worth the quality of product that they're giving you. I appreciated the custom facial and was surprised that the glow was instant. Highly recommend!
