I get a haircut there around every 4-6 weeks, and recommend it to anybody that asks me where to get a haircut in Downtown. Environment Professional, spacious, clean, comfortable. There are two leather couches, a coat hanger, and even a coffee machine there (not instant coffee - real, fresh ground coffee). Service JB is my guy at Concept, and he is not only skilled but he actively maintains me as a client. He documents each cut, familiarized himself with my hair type, and can consistently replicate previous cuts or make adjustments depending on what I'm going for. Usually I just go in with a vague request like "Just a clean up, maybe some shaping on the beard" and he always delivers with something that looks good. I'm satisfied with his work after every appointment.

I showed him my reference pictures (loose flowy perm for middle part) and style (wolfcut) that I was hoping to achieve. He said we could achieve something similar to the pictures that I showed. I mentioned that I had processed hair on the back of my head and questioned how to proceed from that. He told me initially the perm wouldn't look right if he didn't my entire head so I agreed to proceed given the possibility that the perm may fry the back of my head. He also mentioned to me that I needed a haircut to which I asked him if I could add it on as I assumed I would be able like most of the other salons/barbers that I have been to before. He told me he couldn't as he was booked. He begins to perm my hair and talks to another colleague and mentions he going to avoid my processed hair. We finish the perm and he washes the solution out of my hair and shows me my hair. It's significantly curlier and different than what I expected. But didn't look too bad because it was still wet. I didn't want to say anything because I hoped once my hair dried, the perm would look less curly as it has in the past and I didn't want to say anything since I waited over a month to book this appointment. I had paid previously and tipped 20% during the booking of it. As I drive home, I noticed my hair looking more and more poofy on the sides--almost like those kids who grow out their hair/surfer hair. Once I get home, my hair is a lot more dry now and I noticed that the sides were all sticking out horizontally like a fish hook. I showed my girlfriend who told me that this was the worst thing she's ever seen. The sides were totally messed up and the back looked horrible. I ended up going to another salon that evening because I was in shock of how bad the perm turned out. I asked the stylist there if there was any way to layer and fix it, to which they informed they couldn't as the perm rods were not placed appropriately for a middle part and said the only way to fix it was it cut off. Given how bad the perm turned out, I opted to cut it off. I mentioned all of this to my barber the next day on his social and he didn't even seem to care. He told me I should've had my hair layered before the perm and that my hair looked weird because he didn't perm the processed hair. As a customer who showed him the reference picture, if he didn't believe he could achieve the results without layering my hair/didn't believe he could achieve it then why go through with at all. I would've skipped the perm or only done a haircut if that's what he believed was achievable from the reference picture. Even from the picture of the back I sent him, he could tell that the perm looked bad but let me walk out of the shop without even trying to fix it. I already paid/tipped beforehand so there's no incentive to fix a bad service because you're just an invoice at this point. The customer service at this places isn't good. If you gave someone a really bad perm/service and don't care about your mistake or don't care to offer ways to assist your client, it just shows you that you're just a dollar sign to them.

I have been going to Charming Hair & Nails for over 5yrs. Yesterday, i found out that the woman who has been doing my nails recently, went on maturinty leave and there was a fill in. The manager Nikki, assured me the new lady was awesome and shes known her for years. Turns out the woman was named Tammy! She use to do my nails over 12yrs ago at another shop!! What a great reunion!! Ive always loved how she took care of me and my nails. When she left that location years ago i was heart broken. But now i found her and im super happy!! She is awesome and gentle. She is an spactacular artist and very caring. Just let her know what you need and she is on it!!! Totally stoked! Woo woo!! Again CHARIMING HAIR & NAILS.

Arriving for my appointment at 3pm after calling in the morning at 11:30am for a same-day booking, I was pleased with the range of services provided by Nikki the owner. She skillfully handled my haircut, eyebrow shaping, and nose waxing, with the discomfort of the waxing process being bearable. In addition, her assistant efficiently took care of the foot spa and pedicure. The entire session cost a reasonable $72, and I happily added a tip to acknowledge Nikki's thoughtful approach, particularly in being gentle while cutting my hair due to my hearing aid implant located on my right back ear. Many thanks for the excellent service! read more

Been here a couple of times just because it's close to my house. Last time I went the lady that cut my hair had her 6 year daugher there and the little girl cried or should I say screamed the whole time I was there - 15 minutes or so. It was little annoying and started to hurt my ears. Another time they had me sit in the salon chair and I was asked 3 times if i wanted to get a hair cut? Yes - of course, why would I agree to sit on the chair if I did not want a haircut. Been happy with the haircuts I have received but they can work on their customer service. read more

I was in urgent need of getting my nails done, and quickly. And, I came across Charming Hair and Nails. Let me tell you, this place is WONDERFUL. They have excellent service and all the ladies there are so kind. I always get my hair cut here! The manicures and pedicures are absolutely superb. They have such a wide variety of colors and designs, it's amazing. Not at all pricey. It's also next to 7-11, so you can snack on something when getting your toes done! Very clean, too. I highly recommend going here! read more

I was greeted by a lady finishing up a pedicure, told me to sit down. Did not wait very long, however, I made sure to ask if she could do a full set of nude powder acrylics, with a round shape, I figured super simple what could go wrong. She showed me a couple pictures on her phone and asked if that's what I wanted, I said yes and she started on my nails To start she added way to much nail glue that it went on my skin. Then she got to the nail filing which was so painful, she missed my nail multiple times. When it came applying the acrylic she was mad that I did not want to do a gel polish over powder. I repeated to her I only wanted a nude powder or white if she did not have nude, but no polish. After huffing and puffing about me not wanting polish, Mary the owner gave her a powder which was more like a clear not close to nude. I don't think she had very much experience in doing nails, by the way she applied the acrylic like she was painting my nails an not actually building the acrylic on the nail. Within 2 hours of leaving 2 nails broke from not being applied correctly. The nails were not what I wanted, she wasted an hour and a half of my time. I honestly was so over everything and just wanted her to finish, pay and get out. Paid $60 for something that only lasted on my nails 2 hours, and at the end she questioned me about if I was going to tip her, I honestly was so shocked and laughed, still tipped her even though at that point I really shouldn't have. $10 press on would've been way better than the $70 I spent here
