Stopped in on a whim and they took me right in on a Thursday! Ryan gave me a spa mani and pedi which rocked because it wasn't too insane or loud and a very friendly environment. Ryan has a rad tattoo which meant "calm" which was true to his nature! I will definitely come back as this was truly a treat for me! Cash price $45. And Credit card was $50. Totally worth it!!

Came in on a very busy Saturday around 11:30am and they graciously took me in without an appointment. I sat for a while picking colors and by the time someone was able to start working on my nails it was about 12pm. By 12:30pm I was already out the door with a fresh gel manicure that came out super cute and exactly as I wanted! The lady doing my nails said they do tend to get very busy on weekends and she recommends coming early in the morning if possible. They're one of the few salons open before 9am so if you're looking to walk-in, would def recommend going when they open!

Angels Nail and Spa took me in as a walk-in the day before my wedding, and were actual angels! I got a regular pedicure and a gel manicure, it took less than an hour for both. I was treated SO well. I would highly recommend bringing cash - both for the discount and the tip you'll want to leave this lovely staff.

The service was great, they were all very nice, it's a very small salon but seemed busy. I got a dip nail manicure and a pedicure, the pedicure was fine but she cut my toenails too short and rounded and resulted in an ingrown nail. The manicure was fine, there wasn't much other than the dip/polish, no work on my cuticles or anything that are usually included when getting a manicure. That being said, the nails look fine, but the pedicurist could have been better trained and the manicure could have some more benefit to it for the price. I paid $100 plus $20 tip, so definitely not cheap. Update: Nails started lifting after only a week and a half due to the lack of prep, i've been super careful but unfortunately the nail tech did not do a thorough job. Usually when i get nails they don't start lifting until 2-3 weeks at the earliest, will not be coming back here unfortunately.

In town for sister's wedding. They did a great pedicure and a French gel manicure. No strong fume smells. They went fast but I did not feel rushed. 5/5 stars.

This place is great! I got a French gel manicure and the woman did such a good job you could tell she is a perfectionist because she wouldn't let me leave until my nails looked absolutely perfect!!! Also made sure to give me a nice arm massage as well. My friend got a regular Manicure and it was only $10 for her! They are very busy so make sure to call ahead

I just love to update with new photos every time I go because I'm always so happy with my gel manicure! got a little heart design this time, so cute :)

Made a reservation not get a pedicure but ended up with a gel manicure instead! I got a single colored (white) gel mani for $35 (plus tip), which I thought Was reasonable in price. They set up shop outdoors in the courtyard. I felt pretty safe getting my nails done w my friends. :) I actually preferred getting my nails done here as opposed to State Street or other busier spaces since you're away from foot traffic and crowds of people. Overall I am super happy w my nails and my friends all loved their pedicures. :) There was plenty of parking on the street and around the neighborhood!

Short and sweet review_As of April 26, 2021 * Super, reasonable for price (cash only!) 40$ Mani/Pedi Reg. * Very friendly * Decent color selection * No frills environment * AMAZING go to if you have short nails, not everyone does a good job * Free street parking Thank you for the pampering Angels! Cheers!

What a delightful experience. The teams were truly hospitable to our group of three. Special kudos to Lyen who creatively put a shamrock on my toes and to Ryan for his exceptional leg massage.

My boyfriend and I recently moved to the neighborhood and came in hoping for a relaxing pedicure experience, but unfortunately it was very disappointing. Both technicians left midway through my services to help other clients, leaving me waiting and unfinished. I requested a simple clean up and buff with no polish, but my nails were left rough and scratched instead of smooth. The massage that was supposed to be included was completely skipped, and when I mentioned it, I was told it had already been done, which it hadn't. My boyfriend received a full massage during his pedicure while I received none. He was also left sitting in used spa water long after his service was over. Overall, we left feeling worse than when we arrived and won't be returning! Really bummed as I was hoping this could become my go to spot! read more

After a negative experience at Lux, we decided to venture away from the main downtown area. Angels was still close to the main area, but far enough so that street parking was plentiful, and I'm so glad we found them. It was a busy weekend and we called for a same day appointment, and they were kind enough to make room for us. The front of the shop looked pretty standard, but they had a back room that looks like it's used for overflow. In the back, the massage chairs looked old and worn. We were a bit apprehensive at first about what we had gotten into, but that quickly dissipated as they proceeded to give us the best pedicure we've had in a while. I got a regular pedi, and my friend got a gel French pedi. It looked flawless, and she even said it was the best lines that she's ever gotten with a French pedi. Definitely coming back here on our annual SB trip! read more

It is a local family owned and operated salon something I enjoy and appreciate supporting. The quality of the workmanship shows how much they care . My gel nails last so long and I always receive so many compliments! Last but not least it's always a pleasant time being there as the environment is friendly and fun.

Worst Gel manicure I've ever had. Came in last Saturday to get a gel mani pedi before a trip to Jamaica as my usual place was booked. Service wasnt great, the guy BARELY did my cuticles and calluses (rough feet in less than a day) but worst of all here I am in Jamaica only 5 days later and 4 of my nails have completely peeled off already. I've been getting gels for years and never had a set fall apart so fast. Usually at least 2 weeks before you see wear. Now I'm stuck in Jamaica and can't get them fixed. Really really disappointed that they didn't last longer than 5 days. Would never come here again. read more

I didn't get any color, and was surprised when they rang me up for a full specialty pedicure. $60 for a 30-minute service. Still gave a tip, and the lady didn't even look up at me and just walked away. So Never coming back.

Everything I would change about going for a mani/pedi at other places they have done and then some! I was in my own private room, yes you read that right, my own private room. He lit a candle, had roses chairside, played relaxing music, had steam blowing on my legs and gave me the most wonderful pedicure I have ever had! His attention to detail is top notch. We moved on to a manicure and once again he did not disappoint! This is the place we all dream of but never found. Thank you Tee and Billy, I will be back!

Today was such a good experience. I had Billy who did my manicure and pedicure. It was very…read morerelaxing and his technical skills were good. I'm very picky and get cut very easily, but he listened to me and did a great job.

805 is THE spot for your inking needs! Conveniently located on State Street, the establishment is…read moreclean, sterile, welcoming, and the vibes are major. Operated by an extremely talented bunch of artists. any of whom can deliver on a tattoo to treasure and last a lifetime. I've been inked by both Chad and Kelsey. Talented artists in their own right, both made me feel welcome and at ease, executing my tattoo vision with great expertise, skill and speed. Both tats healed up quickly and have remained detailed and vibrant over time. I recommend this fine establishment whether seeking a walk-in appt or a greater work of ink artistry! In the immortal words of Arnold, "I'll be back".

I got my first tattoo here for my 18th birthday. It was a great experience! Very kind and skilled…read moreartists!

I had such a great experience at Cleopatra Piercing! Yilmar did both my nose and helix piercings,…read moreand I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire experience comfortable and easy. Everything was extremely clean, and Yilmar took the time to explain the process, placement, and aftercare. He made sure I was completely happy with the positioning before doing the piercings, and both were done quickly and smoothly. I absolutely love the results! I highly recommend Yilmar to anyone considering a piercing. I will definitely be coming back to Cleopatra Piercing for any future piercings. Amazing experience from start to finish!

The guy who pierced me was nice however the setting is very unprofessional and I don't feel like…read morethey are legit. They use very low quality jewelry and the most glaring red flag for me was that I came in with a group of girls and he had us only signed one waiver and didn't even ask us for ID or our ages until after he had pierced us, which he's lucky because both me and the other girl who got pierced are over the age of 18 and had he pierced somebody who was under the age of 18 without parent permission He would have a huge lawsuit on his hands. Nothing is wrong with my piercing, but I would not come back here just because of how they do business.

Seriously, this place is as good as it gets. The owner Tien (Lee) is the greatest and will always take care of you. Her right hand man, Mindy, is also amazing!! Whether you know what you want or don't, they take care of you. This family shop is adorable! Favorite place to go for quality and price because believe me, I have tried EVERYWHERE! There is another guy there and he gives THE BEST massages. Almost as good as a professional masseuse. Nails= done beautifully, designs=artistic and new, and nail care=always main priority. RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS! read more
