    Visible excess gel left along the sides of the nails, gold charms tarnished within only 5 days of the appointment
    Katrina R.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I made an appointment over the phone for Gel-X removal and a new Gel-X set. At no point was I asked whether I wanted nail art/designs, which I didn't think would be an issue at a nail salon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I arrived, I had to explain the design I wanted to three different people. Two of them weren't even my nail tech-- they were explaining the design to her for me, which honestly should've been a red flag from the beginning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I showed an inspiration photo for a design they initially said they could do, but pretty early on it became obvious that the nail tech assigned to me wasn't capable of recreating it. I ended up switching to a different, simpler design and showed her another inspo photo instead. While she was doing the chrome, I noticed immediately that it looked completely different from the inspiration picture. The chrome was extremely shiny and glittery compared to the softer finish in the reference photo. I asked her multiple times about it, and each time she brushed it off and said she would put something on top later to tone it down. I kept trying to trust the process, but it became harder and harder. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire time, the other worker-- who later ended up taking over my nails-- was sitting right next to us and had clearly overheard me repeatedly questioning the design, especially the chrome, and pointing out that it looked much more shimmery than the inspo photo. Despite that, he never stepped in or checked on the situation until I directly asked him myself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Things got worse when she started the 3D flowers on my last two nails. The first flower already looked noticeably different from the inspo, so I had to keep correcting it. Then she showed me the "finished" flower on the other hand, and not only did it look nothing like the inspiration picture, it didn't even match the flower on the first hand. At this point, I had already been sitting there for around 2.5 hours with nails I was extremely unhappy with. I eventually asked the more experienced worker -- who had been helping explain the design earlier -- to take a look. He immediately agreed that the chrome looked wrong. He ended up taking over my appointment entirely and had to redo EVERY SINGLE NAIL by drilling off some of the previous work. He redid all of the chrome, 3D art, and even parts of the French tips because the original work was that poorly done. The appointment ended up taking 3.5 hours total, which is much longer than any Gel-X appointment I've ever had, especially considering most of the time was spent fixing mistakes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What disappointed me most was that after all of this, there was no apology, acknowledgment, or attempt to make the situation right. The only thing I was told was that I should mention ahead of time if I want designs because "not everyone at the salon can do designs."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That response confused me because: 1. I did explain I wanted a design as soon as I arrived. 2. If certain techs can't do nail art, appointments should be assigned appropriately from the start. I honestly wasn't planning on leaving a bad review- I still tipped despite everything lol-- but it's now been only 5 days since my appointment and one of the charms has already fallen off. On top of that, the gold charms have already tarnished, which has never happened to me before at any other salon. You can also see in the photos that my cuticles were over-filed/over-cleaned to the point that they look irritated, and there's visible excess gel on the sides of several nails. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience, especially for the amount of time and money spent.

    Ask for Cat Eye but not the out come.

    I used to come here a lot before COVID. I want to try this place again but they do not know how to create professional Cat Eye nail. Asking for Cat Eye Nails. All we got are flat with no Cat Eye pattern.

    I have been coming here for years and I recently started getting my nails done by Ivy. She's so fast and detailed! Her work is amazing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really do recommend this nail salon due to its cleanliness and customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Jorge S.

    Randomly stopped by on a Monday and so glad we did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone was so helpful and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are reasonable for what you get! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ivy and all the other ladies were very nice and helpful and did a great job[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Ivy over filed my nail with her drill so she had to fix the length by using hard gel.

    I've gotten my nails done here multiple times but i had the worst experience with Ivy. I requested my nails to be sharp and she used the drill to file down my nails. In the photo you can see how short it got. It took a few months for my nails to grow this long. im so upset with my visit today!!

    DiamondLee R.

    The place is pretty clean [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some of the girls are nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a lot of color options The manicure wasn't their best I took a young girl to have her nails done and they cut most of her nails off Very short It was a basic manicure no big deal

    Amazing Job Ivy thank you so much for your patience I love my nails !!! Service 10/10 Definitely we will come back soon ! 100% recommend Jenny and Ivy are the BEST !!

    Beautiful fall nails done by the lovely Ivy and pedi by Miss Kim, THE best toenail cosmetic surgeon in town! I am so grateful to the duo team who take their time, make sure the detail to my beautification is priority, and never rushed! Not one REDO by another shop(those of you who know know)! The new owners are so nice and I will happily continue my customer loyalty.

    Kenya M.

    I've been coming here for about 3 months and I really love this nail salon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is very kind, does a great job, and always follows my inspiration pictures.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't tried a pedicure yet, but based on my experience I'm sure it's just as good. They also offer complimentary drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, a great experience with excellent customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Love coming here. Been coming here for years whenever I'm in the city and they have definitely upgraded from the time I've been here.
    Jackie H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love this places been coming here for years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They definitely upgraded. Only one time I had an issue and that was because the nail tech filed my nail too much but I didn't notice it and that was my fault. Pretty sure she was new but just check your nails though.

    Brittany C.

    My nails from today! I've been coming to Creative Nails for the last couple years and I'm always pleased with how my nails turn out. Today was my first time trying builder gel and I really liked it a lot. Ivy did a fantastic job! Also Ivy gave me a a small tube of cuticle oil and a voucher for next time. Very nice during Christmas Can't wait to return

    Thank you, Jeff

    My niece recommended this salon and ask for Jeff. I arrived early for my appointment and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the girl that greeted me was really nice. She asked if I wanted coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Jeff is soooo nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My nails were a mess because of the last salon and he made them look fresh and natural. I've found my forever salon and technician

    Reyna V.

    Perfect nails for Cabo by Trang! The place is under new management so I was a bit nervous but everything was great!

    New packages!

The space itself was clean, relaxing, and had soothing spa music, which we appreciated. The receptionist was friendly and the esthetician who worked on both of us was kind. However, I felt that the overall service did not meet expectations. From my experience with facials, the technique--especially extractions and massage--seemed limited and not very thorough. It felt more like a beginner-level service. Everyone has to start somewhere, so no offense intended, but it didn't reflect the price we paid. Overall, the experience did not match the cost, which was disappointing. My daughter was also disappointed, and her neck became very itchy on our way home. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, I don't think we'll be returning.

When I started getting waxed, I went to places like European Wax Center- their appointments were super short and I was often left with tons of left over hair. I always felt like I was wasting my money, which in this economy is NOT ACCEPTABLE. I became one of Kayla's clients shortly after she became an Esthetician and I have remained deeply loyal to her since. I have even followed her through 3 different location moves because she is just that good. Kayla is extremely welcoming to everyone. I have recommended many of Kayla's services to my friends and family through the years, including women, men, and our LGBTQIA+ loved ones. Once they tried services with Kayla, they all stayed and have continued to get consistent services. That is seriously how wonderful Kayla is at what she does. I feel so happy after every appointment, and I have never felt uncomfortable despite being practically naked for a wax (I get a Brazilian and underarm wax every 2-3 months). Kayla is professional, thorough, and extremely thoughtful. She will remember what you talked about at previous appointments and make it a point to bring them up again. She cares so deeply for her clients and I was so happy to hear she was branching off to start her own company- Bare Rebellion Esthetics! Her mission as an esthetician is to be as inclusive to every single body out there, which is a mission I proudly support. Book with Kayla at Bare Rebellion, it is seriously worth every penny! She even has spectacular July specials for this summer!
