    Manicure with clear gel polish
    Nick H.

    I wanted a simple manicure with some clear gel polish. Just to keep my nails looking neat and well-kept. I got great service. My technician, Nina, did a fantastic job. She was attentive, gentle, and took time to get to know me a bit. I'm not really comfortable with being touched (even when I'm at the barber shop), but I did not feel too anxious or not out-of-place at First Lady Nails. The employees make great conversation and take interest in their customers. I even spoke a bit to the customer sitting next to me. It was really just an overall pleasant experience, which means a lot to someone like me (who is used to feeling awkward around others, or like I don't belong because of how I look). Thank you again, Nina. I will be back.

    Kevin was amazing! I recommend coming here 10/10 experience! He did a hard design and did perfect.

    Destiny did my GelX nails today and they are so beautiful. I've never had such a gorgeous set and she took her time making sure they were perfect. Thank you!!! Will be coming back and recommending this place.

    This was my first time at First Lady Nails. I was able to make an appointment the day before for the time I requested. When I first arrived the parking lot was full, but there is additional parking across the alley near the old bank drive-thru. There are several doors to the business but the true entrance is in the front off Eastern Parkway. At first glance the building looks small, but when you go inside you're pleasantly surprised. It's very spacious and bright! When you first enter there is the reception desk, the sinks to wash your hands are directly behind it, then rows of nail stations and in the rear along the wall are the pedicure chairs. I was immediately greeted and asked what service I was getting. I was told to wash my hands and then pick out a color. Whew, it was overwhelming because they have hundreds of choices. Lots of colors and options I have never seen before like gradient colors and iridescent colors. After 10 minutes I picked my color and was told where to sit. I came with some friends and we were all able to sit and chat together as we waited for technicians to be ready for us. I was greeted by Nina, who is the owner or manager of the business. She was incredibly friendly and sweet! She also did a phenomenal job on my nails. She took extra care and was really skilled. I selected a dark blue and accent color. The accent color wasn't available but she brought a suggested replacement that I loved. For the gel manicure it cost $42 before tip. I love my nails and think she did a great job! I will definitely be back and will be making an appointment with Nina!

    i've never been to louisville before and i broke two nails (painfully) as soon as i arrived. this salon caught my eye when i was out getting coffee, so i called and they were able to seat me right away for a full gel set. THIS PLACE ROCKS!!! Chloe was my nail tech and she is so good at what she does. i wish i could have her do my nails at home!! the building is also really cool inside, nice accommodations and really good ventilation for anyone sensitive to fumes and chemicals. just a great salon.

    Well... I didn't think that spending hours in a salon was my idea of a good time, but I have seen the light! My friend went here for a spa day, and I tagged along just for fun. You have to try everything once, right? Plus, my toes did look a bit rough. The staff took great care of me with a gentle pedicure. When the massage chair revved up, I knew I had made an excellent life choice. I was so into it, I even went for the sugar scrub. Why not?!

    I chose this salon due to its 5 star ratings, but this is the worst experience I've had in a nail…read moresalon EVER! I didn't get the name of my technician, but I went in with acrylic on my nails and wanted them taken off and then get dip powder on my natural nails. This technician proceeds to take an artificial nail tip and rip off my acrylic nails (I've never seen this "technique" before) so while she's doing that it's ripping off my natural nails and causing me to bleed. She says "you wanted tips, right?" When I originally didn't, but at this point I have to because she's ripped off my natural nails. She puts the tips on and proceeds with the dip powder, when she finishes she buffs my nails and instead of just buffing the nail she is buffing over my skin, and is breaking down the skin around my nails causing me to bleed again. Her customer service skills need work, as well as her ability to be gentle with customers. She didn't apologize once, instead getting irritated with me that I was jerking my hands and saying ow. Overall my nails look decent, but it's still a one star rating due to the lack of caring from her and the other technicians around her who were well aware of my discomfort and frustration.

    I recently visited the Mokara Salon and Spa in the Omni in Louisville. The booking process was…read moreextremely easy and the staff on the phone were very helpful. I called to book a deep tissue massage for 50 minutes, with the massage you can use the pool and facilities before or after your treatment. The spa has a very relaxing vibe and was very comfortable. I arrived about 30 minutes before my appointment. I had a short wait since there was only one person at the front desk and there were helping other clients at the time. When it was my turn, I was warmly greeted and given a tour of the facility. The changing rooms are right off the main lobby area, and I was guided around the area and advised on what was available to use. I decided to change and then head to the relaxation room to await my massage. The room had flavored water and hot tea available, as well as a few packaged snacks. There were several Lounge chairs available with sheer curtains to provide some privacy. My massage therapist arrived right around my massage time and took me to my room. She was very nice and explained the process and asked if I had any areas of concern. Unfortunately the massage wasn't great, I had opted for a deep tissue massage, but not a lot of pressure was used. She also never checked in with me during the massage and it ended a bit early. The facility is beautiful and next time I will try a facial or another service since I loved the atmosphere so much.

    My experience at Bourbon and Blush was an absolute disaster from start to end. The owner markets…read morethis place everywhere online as a luxury, high-end establishment, but the reality is it's the exact opposite. I walked in expecting the premium, "intoxicating salon and spa experience" they claim to provide. Instead, the service was completely substandard, I left looking appalling, and the astronomical prices felt like a total rip-off. First, the communication between customer and service provider is sub-par... basically non-existent. I brought reference photos of how I wanted my hair to look and explained that I wanted a subtle, blended look. Instead, the stylist, who I could barely understand, completely ignored my requests and left me with choppy layers and harsh, brassy streaks that look cheap and unprofessional. When I politely pointed out that the color was nowhere near what we discussed, I was met with defensive attitude from her, and something muttered in Spanish that I didn't understand. When I asked to talk to the owner, I watched her roll her eyes and shake her head back and forth. Then she slowly sauntered over to me and said, "your hair looks beautiful like this! Perhaps a bit different that your request, but you can "rock it." No apology; no offer to fix it; no offer of discount since it was so terrible. This owner is obviously the one who leads her flock and I have no clue how this woman is still in business. This place is a PRIME example of attitude and aptitude being a top-down mentality. Attitude reflects leadership, after all. To make matters worse, the pricing is outrageous for the crappy quality. They charge luxury prices but provide a stressful, hostile environment and zero attention to detail. To boot, they have the nerve to up the prices during Derby week, which is called price gauging and is ILLEGAL!!! I mean, seriously? You want to be seen as luxurious and posh and high-class, yet your staff members BARELY speak English, it's near-impossible to get them to understand you, and your craftsmanship is akin to that of a beauty school dropout? I got a massage too and wish I would've read reviews before I came here. It was thee worst massage I've ever had and I'm pretty sure my 3rd-grader could've applied stronger pressure. The massage was overpriced, as I was in town only for the Derby, and I felt like I got taken on a bait and switch maneuver. Save your time, your money, your hair, your nails, your sanity, etc. This place is as far from luxurious as you can get. It's significantly overpriced (even when it's NOT Derby week); it's obvious they have internal problems because the female owner was rude, crass and frankly, pretty clueless. Avoid this place at all costs.

    A Truly Relaxing Luxury Spa Experience…read more From the moment I walked into Woodhouse Spa in Louisville, I felt relaxed. The aroma in the lobby immediately set the tone for what turned out to be an absolutely wonderful spa experience. Check-in was seamless, and I was immediately given a tour of the facility. I was then able to change into a comfortable robe and sandals and settle into the spa experience. I spent some time enjoying the sauna before retreating to the lounge, where I was offered a choice of hot tea, wine, water, or a mimosa. I grabbed some chocolate and a selection of mixed nuts from the snack bar, found a cozy lounger, wrapped myself in the provided blanket, and simply enjoyed being able to unwind. After some time, my massage therapist came to get me for my 80-minute Swedish massage. I chose the woody aromatherapy scent, and it was the perfect complement to the experience. The massage was as relaxing as they come. My therapist regularly checked in with me about the pressure, and I really appreciated her technique. Her strokes were long, slow, and deliberate, and she never seemed rushed. I walked out of the treatment room feeling completely relaxed. Another thing I appreciated was the checkout experience. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase products, which can sometimes take away from an otherwise relaxing experience. Is Woodhouse pricey? Absolutely. But in my opinion, it's worth it for the upscale atmosphere, attention to detail, amenities, and highly skilled therapists. I also really appreciated the convenience of the attached parking in the PNC Tower, with the spa comping two hours of parking. Overall, this was exactly what I want from a luxury spa experience. From the beautiful atmosphere to the thoughtful amenities and exceptional massage, Woodhouse delivered from beginning to end. I would absolutely return and highly recommend Woodhouse Spa to anyone looking for a true high-end, relaxing spa experience in Louisville!
