I found this nail salon through Yelp and decided to give them a try. I walked in on a Sunday…read moremorning without an appointment and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't busy. I was seated quickly, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I treated myself to a gel pedicure and a builder gel manicure. The salon hd a relaxing atmosphere, and I appreciated that I never felt rushed. Unfortunately, the quality of my manicure didn't quite meet my experience. My guilder gel wasn't as smooth was I had hoped and had a few noticeable bumps, and the gel polish started chipping after three days, which was disappointing considering the service. I spent $150 for both services. I'm willing to give them another chance because everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I'm hopeful my next visit will have a better outcome.

My last 2 visits haven't been the best. My last dip powder set was pried off with plastic acrylic tips even after I told the gentleman twice that I had dip powder on. They would always soak and drill down dip but when they ripped them off my nails, it definitely hurt and was uncomfortable. So much so that the UV light made my nails feel like they were burning. Decided to give them one more chance but service wasn't friendly. A piece of my nail was chipped off during the drilling process and was rushed out of my seat for the next customer coming in. No acknowledgment after handing my money over, no "bye" "thank you" or "see you next time". Time to look for a new salon.

Hair was starting to look a little shaggy, so I went on the Yelp hunt for a new salon…read more Came across House of beauty. Awesome reviews, beautiful pictures. Everything Looked good... Checked them out on Facebook too, since they have no number listed on Yelp or google, reached out on FB messenger to the Business and I was connected to a lady named Stacie. She informed me that you have to set up your appointment with her through an app called StyleSeat ... It's basically a Yelp for hair, nails, waxing, eyelashes, and pretty much everything beautifying. I'm not sure if all the technicians here at HOB use this app for scheduling appointments? But the app itself even has lots of reviews and pictures too, plus Stacie gave me her Instagram to check out even more of her work, and I was sold lol.... She really has some talent! So everything is by appointment through the app only. And it's really easy to use. So my appointment date rolls around. Stacie informed me VIA text she was a little behind and if I could come 30.mins later, sure no problem. Arrived and sent her the text that I was there (since she informed me they keep the doors locked for safety reasons) and she lets me in... The place is a little house that's been transformed into a salon, and each room has its own little station, it's super cute,, fun, clean and comfortable. I loved it. And Stacie was very easy to talk to, super sweet and friendly, And she understood what I wanted, even kept asking me little details to make sure she did what I wanted too!... and I'd say she delivered! she brought my hair back to life! lol. I was so happy with her work. She has the hands of a machine when it comes to blow drying your hair, lol. I've never seen such movement with a hairbrush and blow dryer before. Haha! My experience here was so wonderful and I would very much recommend her and The House of Beauty to anyone ! Thanks again Stacie!

One star. I called ahead and was told acrylic removal would be $15. When I went to pay, the total…read morewas $17. I assumed maybe there was a card fee, even though I used Apple Pay, but then I heard the girl at the front say she added a $2 tip herself. I never authorized a tip. I did not argue because I was ready to leave, but adding money to someone's total without permission is shady and completely unacceptable. The sanitation was also a major concern. The nail clippers were not opened from a new package, and the drill bit did not appear to be fresh or newly sanitized before being used on me. The floor was dirty, there was dark buildup between the tiles that looked like possible mold or heavy grime, and the same old dirty mop was being used to clean it. The entire place felt unsanitary and poorly maintained. I would not recommend this salon. You are better off finding a private nail tech who takes cleanliness, quality, and honest business practices seriously.

In my opinion they should be more by the package prices or made clear by worker. However, it was my fault for not checking. Workers get mad when you don't get gel, since you'll be sitting there waiting longer. Also, they even tried charging me for the flip flops you walk out in. So disappointing, it used to be one of my favorite places.
