I've been seeing Anna for a few years now and was so excited when she opened her own private studio…read moreat Sola Salons! She is an incredibly talented nail stylist who truly listens to what I want--whether it's a simple, clean look or something more detailed and creative. She always delivers (and often exceeds!) my expectations. One of the things I appreciate most is that when I request intricate designs, Anna hand-paints them beautifully instead of using stickers or shortcuts. Her dip manicures are flawless and long-lasting--mine lasted four full weeks! Anna's color selection is stunning and continues to grow, and her prices are more than fair for the high-quality service she provides. On top of that, she has the sweetest personality and makes every appointment feel like a relaxing treat. I also love the privacy of her suite at Sola Salons. It's quiet and comfortable, while still having the energy of nearby stylists working in their own spaces. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and kind nail stylist, I can't recommend Anna enough!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the service and the quality of the work they do here…read more I've been coming here for a little over a year and each time is better than the last! They paint each nail with precision, I NEVER have clumps of gel polish in my cuticles, they always fix little things immediately, and are just as particular as I would be with my own nails. The polish they use is supplied by the big nail salon surplus store around the corner so I know it's all local businesses were supporting. Which to me means paying for ballet lessons and soccer practice rather than the alternative big corporate. The place isn't new or bougie or super frufru fancy! But it's down home, good people. Which means great prices! And I love it!!

What began as a nice mother daughter mani pedi turned into a disappointing experience for us both…read more We had different nail techs. Nail chipping began the same evening on my daughter's nails and a few days after on my nails. I contacted the salon and spoke with Ann. She said she was the owner, to return and they would redo our nails. My daughter had a flight the next morning. No refund was offered. Unfortunately, I decided to go back because I knew gel nails had to be fixed / removed by the salon.. The owner, Ann, said that only she would take care of me. Upon my return, she did nothing to prep my nails. No soak or care taken. She ripped the gel off with a metal instrument. taking the top of my nails with it. I told her this was painful, but she ignored me. She used a drill on top of my nails after she'd ripping them off. At this point I felt I no choice but to have her reapply the polish. It was done sloppily after I refused her recommendation of an up-sale to Acrylic nails. She also said the color I'd chosen was one that chipped easily. I selected it from a book handed to me by my original nail tech. I felt quite bullied. She was aware I'd only had my nails done a couple of times in a salon. Once again, just two days later my nails began chipping. Now, I must find a reputable nail tech to remove the polish and hopefully my nail beds aren't too damaged by her rough careless treatment. The day my daughter and I had our nails done I was unable to pay because they don't accept American Express. My daughter paid with Venmo and I reimbursed her later. Ann, tip shamed my daughter because she didn't approve of the tip. I handed her an additional $20.00 in cash. I wonder now if our nail techs ever received our tip. I don't recommend this nail salon to anyone. Maybe it's worth also mentioning that day I noticed someone with an open leg wound receiving a pedicure prompting me to inquire if they had an autoclave for instruments. They had no idea what I meant. After explaining; I was told they had one. I looked around since we were seated at the far end of the salon. I saw no evidence of one. I did see dirty instruments tossed in a pile. It was over $200.00 for both of us not including the $35.00 tip. I believe this to be about average. So, not a cheap salon; Just cheap in quality. Ann was very rude to both of us. Based upon her attitude and actions towards me the day I returned to have my nails redone; it's my feeling she deliberately damaged my nails because she resented redoing them even though she offered to do so. In hindsight I wish I'd said nothing and just found another salon. I'm writing this review to warn others. There seem to be a lot of options in this area for nail salons. I hope my experience will help anyone reading this to make a better choice. I hope Ann reads this review and her customer service improves. This is shameful behavior particularly for the owner.

I knew I didn't like her. After second guessing myself, I decided to try her again and time was winding down because it was just before the 4th of July. So I messaged her directly to coordinate and we spoke in depth and established a time. Then she sent a request for a $20.00 deposit after I exited the chat, I was wrapping up my work day. Then went grocery shopping and running errands like crazy. Then she messaged me saying because I didn't pay her deposit, she canceled the appointment. But I hadn't even made it home nor sat down yet. Yikes! This woman is so tightly wound on a hairpin trigger it's a turn off! And her prices are high, any where from $10-$40 more than local shops and she works slowly.
