    So I researched nail places in the area and found this place. I was impressed with their pictures, so I decided to reach out. I was instructed to text a picture of what I wanted and told they were able to do so. When I got to the salon today, they said the exact picture was cost a lot due to the number of colors it required. I wish they had told me ahead of time because I was forced to figure out something on the spot. Let me explain that I did say I wanted plain pink glitter polish when I was first told I couldn't have the original idea without a high cost. Again, I wish I knew that before I got there. There was also a lot of miscommunication and I was accused of changing my mind last minute, when I had informed my nail tech about 15 minutes into the appointment while she removed the dip polish I had on, that wanted to stick to the original idea with fewer colors. We then discussed it further after she completely prepped my nails. Never said I wanted plain cat eye polish. I just wish they were a bit more friendly and understanding. It left me uncomfortable and a bit unsatisfied. I really couldn't decide on the spot another nail idea. The next client was there, so I left without ensuring my nails were correct. I got the cat eye polish, which is very shiny. Two of my nails don't look as shiny as the others, and my hands look different compared to one another. One side is more blended than the other, while the other is more shiny. It ended up looking very cool minus the few errors. Helen did an amazing job shaping my nails and making them even! Despite the differences, I really love how they turned out. I just wish they all had the same amount of shine and were blended the same. I also feel as someone else mentioned that there needs to be more clarity in pricing as well. I definitely don't think the price was worth it given my nails are so different in terms of shine - the whole purpose of the cat eye polish.

    I solely come here for Karen. She is the best nail technician I've had and I'm so happy that I found her! I never have an issues with her and trust all of her work! She provides the best service and has most beautiful nail designs. Generally I'd leave it up to her artistic discretion and I'm always so amazed and blown away! Not to mention to mention, she's also very sweet and always finds a way to fit me into her super busy schedule (even last minutely!)

    The environment at Amber Door Day Spa is so nice! You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and all their staff is great. I got a gel x fill and i was nervous because it was a different salons work but Lucy did AMAZING! My nails are so gorgeous and took less than an hour!! I was very impressed. It ended up being $80 for a fill which was more then I was used to for a fill but I was still definitely be returning because i am obsessed with my nails! They also have free snacks and drinks which is so nice! I can't recommend Amber Door Day Spa more!

    Janee did a wonderful job with my nails. She was not only super kind and personable, she is very good at nail design! My nails have never looked so good! I will definitely be back.

    I had a pretty good experience here. About my nail technician? So I noticed that Fang doesn't have any reviews in Vagaro (their booking app) and I tried looking her up in other Yelp reviews but didn't find anything. I'm assuming she's new, so I thought I'd help fellow yelpers... she did a great job on my gel manicure and regular pedicure. I liked that she was slow and careful because for me, it has been almost 2 years since being in a nail salon I wasn't ready to get cut on my first time back. She took her time and I really appreciated that she didn't nick me at all. The only thing I can say I had an issue with is communicating to her what I wanted. I would like to suggest that she give future clients a little bit of time to choose and not feel so rushed. Going in I had an idea but didn't really see any examples of designs that I could pick from. It would've been cool if she asked if I wanted any designs with my gel manicure. They mostly had color samples. The colors I had picked ended up too light and she went ahead and made better choices for me that worked out....so I was happy. How are my nails holding up? @ about 4 days so far the gel is holding up, there's no lifting or unusual marks on my gel. I think my nails are growing quickly so it already looks like I need a fill in.. **gel ended up lasting at least 3 weeks, which is the longest gel has lasted for me without chipping or peeling. Since my nails grow quickly, they prolly could've went longer if I hadn't picked at them. Cost? I paid 45$ for my nails (gel mani?) and 55$ for (reg polish pedi). The nail salon itself? No massage chairs which I didn't mind. Ambiance, very quiet and there are signs to let clients know to be respectful of the volume and amount of chatter. Overall I'm happy with the quality and the service, would definitely come back. My friend that got her nails done at the same time, also really liked this place too.

    Today I had the pleasure of working with Sahar. I love that she's always warm, welcoming, super attentive, & client focused, The ultimate experienced professional. Every time I get my nails done with her, I always leave happy and receive the best compliments on my nails. Thank you for Sahar for being such a delight. I look forward to my next appointment!

    I finally found my go-to nail place! Amber Door Day Spa is everything I wanted. Great customer service, punctuality on appointments, organic based products, and reasonable prices. I had gone to different places that I wasn't happy with for various reasons and this spa is clearly the winner. I was able to a schedule a same day appointment through their website, and when I arrived they immediately sat me down and got to work. They took extreme care removing the old SNS dip I had, and my nails are still strong which hasn't always been my experience. I paid $10 for the removal and $16 for the express manicure and it was totally worth it :)

    Haven't had a bad experience here. Friendly staff, clean facility, talented artists. Covid friendly with shields and disposable seat covers. Their pedicure massage and exfoliation feels great. They do nail art as well. I got the regular pedicure $45 and powder dip manicure $95.

    Gorgeous nail extension and art by Brian
    McKenzie H.

    I only get my nails done about once a year so when I do I like to splurge! So glad I found this place because it seems like their talented artists can do anything. Brian said he has been doing nails for 12 years and it really shows in how efficient and meticulous he is. My only downside this visit is that I wanted some gems / jewels / gold accents on some of the plain nails but he did not understand what I was saying at all and brought out gold nail polish instead, so I just said it was fine to leave them plain.. I don't have a picture but my sister also got her nails done this visit by Journey and they came out fabulous as well. I hope to be back soon (and maybe more frequently than once a year!)

    I am extremely disappointed with how long my nails lasted. The nails came out soooooo beautiful! There was also $5 off for gel nails. However, the first day, my thumb chipped and the nail polish lifted on the tip of my nail. I called the salon and made a appointment to have my nails fixed. They removed and repainted my thumb which chipped. But for the nail that lifted, they used nail glue and glued the nail the lifted part and applied another layer of top coat. I was shocking to me, that they didn't completely repaint the nail. After 1 week, pretty much very nail has lifted. I'm so disappointed, not what I expected from a luxury nail salon. Completely waste of $40. Normally, when I get gel polish is last 2-3 weeks. My experience in store was really good. They took my temperature when I arrived. Then I was asked to wash my hands and taken in the back room to have my nails done by Journey or Alisa Lu. There was a big piece of plastic between the nail tech and I. Everyone wore a face mask inside. My nails also came out sooo Beautiful! I think the main problem is that the tips of my nails were not sealed. At the end, when my nails were done, she started to file my nail again. I was a bit confused and it probably did help my nails last. I definitely won't be coming back here.

    Amber Door is such a gem! I consider myself to be quite picky when it comes to my nails; I like them to be well manicured with intricate designs and the techs at Amber Door deliver every time. Not only are they incredibly talented, they're always able to fit me in, even with a last minute request. The shop is also cute and very clean. My last visit was with Brian and as you can see from the work he did, I left a happy customer!

    Streaky not pretty
    Jennifer J.

    I really wanted to love this place because they have the "jelly nail polish" trend that's so popular in Korea. I showed the nail tech pictures that were from their yelp page, I told her I wanted it to be really glossy and "jelly" like. I showed her pictures of what I wanted but she fell short. I feel so bad because she was so sweet. But it seemed she was new and her coworkers came and gave her instructions on how to do certain things. Polish is super streaky, lots of gaps and cuticles look horrible. I was so sad I cried on my way home because these are my wedding nails. I had an appointment late in the day so I think the tech started rushing because they were closing which is unacceptable. Really want them to redeem themselves because they have such good reviews.

    Nails and design by Janee

    Let me start with I LOVE my nails by Janee. After moving from out of state and struggling to find a great nail tech, she's amazing. She works with me for designs and nail health. My issue stems from the pricing and business acumen. Now I'm one that believes in paying for great work. I'll say just in general, they're pricy but Janee is worth it. However, this particular time I got a design and was charged DOUBLE. Designs are usually $15 (this is reflected online) but this last time the person who rang me up coyly asked to see my nails, charged me THIRTY dollars for the design alone, and then when I inquired about it, had no reason why this was double the price. A refill was already $70 and at this point, it felt like a money grab. Especially because over the last few months, this has never happened and they've seen the designs Janee has done in the past. It's like they're picking and choosing when to pull $$$ out of the air. I LOVE Janee. So I'll be back to specifically to work with her, but if she ever leaves, this client is going with her. *Update* Added a star for the prompt response from the owner. I still feel like there should be some consistency and clarity for pricing.

    Candy crushes it again! (See what I did there?) This time I did Gel + nail designs. No extensions.

From the stress and also from me not taking good care of myself and following the skin routine Irina always reminds me to do. This was right before my wedding too so having all my acne come back added to the stress. I also developed a lot of back acne and my wedding dress was strapless. I texted Irina about my back before I had my scheduled appointment and Irina was able to move my appointment earlier so then she could spend more time on me and fix my back. Irina helped me do a lot of extractions and also told me how to best care in the next week leading up to the wedding. By the time the wedding came, my acne was cleared with minor areas where it was a lot easier to manage. I can't thank her enough! I now know I must keep with the schedule and visit Irina every 4-6 weeks, not only does she help me clear up my skin but also as a constant reminder to take care of myself. She never pushes products on me but I've fully bought in and listen to whatever she tells me I need as I have my full trust in her. I will forever be a client :) Pictures: 1) when I first went to Irina & after only 2 treatments with her and listening to her advice on my routine and diet 2) my back acne photo I texted Irina when I was freaking out what to do 3) wedding day - you can see the back is cleared!

Not only was it dry due to the weather changes, but it looked dull and what I can only describe as "gray." Basically, not cute.

It's only been a few days, so I'm curious to see how long the results last, combined with my new knowledge of what my skin needs (she emphasized hydration and exfoliation). Looking forward to returning for maintenance. Small suggestions for improvement: I wish there was a way to fill out the intake form online. I did it when I first arrived and we didn't deeply discuss the form or my skin concerns before diving in. It would also be helpful to give patients a resource for when they leave. For a noob like me, there was a lot of terminology and products and suggestions, so it was a little hard to wrap my mind around.

I finally decided on Annie's out of convenience and because she had the best prices ($58-70). The day before my appointment, I saw she introduced a Yelp deal ($50 for $70 worth of services) so I grabbed it up and was able to upgrade the facial. I was Annie's last appointment for the day and I arrived 10 minutes late. Despite all that, she took her time on my facial. She started off by looking at my skin and noted that I wasn't acne-prone but I have oily skin. She didn't say anything as she worked which I love whenever I get treatments so I can just enjoy the experience and relax. (I can't stand chatty therapists, especially masseuses.) Here are all the other points as to why I absolutely loved my facial with Annie: 1) Painless extractions 2) The steam is gentle and not overwhelming 3) She uses a vacuum that sucks up all the dirt and grime from clogged pores (my problem area was my t-zone) 4) She moisturizes your hands 5) She throws in really nice massages for the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and head 6) I could see a HUGE difference with my skin afterwards 7) She didn't try to push any expensive products and regimens on me 8) It's been over 24 hours and I haven't had any breakouts as a result of the facial (normal but not preferred)

From start to finish, every visit is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend New Wave Salon to anyone looking for a skilled and caring team!
