There's no strong chemical smells that some other nail salons have. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I always book with Kristina because her attention to detail is superb! I don't live in the neighborhood but will continue to drive here for the quality service.

I had a very disappointing experience with Juliet's Nails. About an hour before arriving, I called…read moreto ask about pricing and whether walk-ins were accepted. Since the appointment was for my 101-year-old patient who uses a wheelchair, I wanted to make sure we could be accommodated. When we arrived, I hadn't even made it fully inside before I asked if there was another entrance that was wheelchair accessible. The employee immediately responded, very rudely, "No, we're booked," without any apology or explanation. I was confused because I had called beforehand and was never told that they were fully booked. I calmly explained that I had called earlier, and instead of trying to help or clarify the situation, she insisted I must have called the wrong number and continued speaking with an unpleasant attitude. There was no apology for the misunderstanding, no effort to assist, and no consideration for the fact that I had brought a 101-year-old client there. The lack of professionalism, customer service, and basic courtesy was shocking. Even if they were fully booked, a simple apology or polite explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, it was a complete waste of time and an unnecessarily frustrating experience. I would not recommend this business based on how we were treated.

I opted for the collagen gel pedicure because I was looking forward to a relaxing and soothing…read moreexperience, especially the leg and foot massage portion. Unfortunately, the experience was anything but relaxing. The nail tech repeatedly massaged the tops of my feet and legs extremely hard, even after I politely asked multiple times for her to be gentler and instead focus on the bottoms of my feet and my calves. I eventually explained to another employee that I have fibromyalgia, and when my pain is triggered it can affect my entire body. Although this was apparently relayed to the nail tech, she only adjusted her pressure briefly before returning to being rough again. To make matters worse, the pedicure water was cold. When I asked if hotter water could be added, the technician seemed irritated and reluctantly brought over water from an electric kettle. I was honestly surprised the foot tubs did not have proper hot water access built in. The massage chairs were outdated and barely functioning, which added to the disappointment. This was the Friday before Mother's Day, and I simply wanted to treat myself to a peaceful, calming pedicure. Instead, I left stressed, uncomfortable, and physically hurting. When I paid, the gentleman at the front asked about my experience and brought over a woman I believe was part of management. Her solution was to suggest that I "call ahead next time" and request someone less rough. That response felt dismissive considering I had already voiced my concerns multiple times during the service. Overall, I felt unheard, uncomfortable, and disappointed by both the service and the lack of care shown when concerns were raised. I will not be returning.

Ms Glen's Therapeutic Manicures & Pedicures

I have been hankering for a pedicure for a while, and not just any pedicure. I wanted something…read moremore therapeutic. My feet have been through it the last couple of years (sports) and I wanted to get serious about caring for them properly, not just getting them painted. Of course, I turned to Yelp for the scoop and zeroed in on Ms. Glen's Therapeutic Manicures & Pedicures. I finally got a chance to go see Ms. Glen and it was everything I wanted and more. It was relaxing (I fell asleep)! It was restorative! My feet felt and looked healthy and cared for. I didn't get polished which is great because I have been wanting to go natural for a while to let my nails breathe and focus on what's really happening with my toe nail health. So may things I loved (in no particular order): - Very communicative from the appointment (via phone) to the confirmation and directions (via text) - Ms. Glen greeted me at the door - The studio smells divine (really sets the tranquil mood) - The studio was intimate (just me - yay) - The space was very clean (I am a stickler for clean) - There was a complimentary water waiting on me - Ms. Glen has developed her own techniques and products which speaks to her dedication and specialization (I love people who are passionate about what they do!) - Every step of the treatment was appreciated! (very detailed, very attentive, think - pampering your feet from the in-depth massage to the parrafin to the soaks to the grooming and much much more) - I got socks! This was such a special and much needed last step that I never knew I needed. It made my feet more comfortable and protected after such a beautiful treatment. She even asked me my size. How's that for customer service! - Now this one may seem trivial but I never had to hold my feet up during the treatment unless I was transitioning from the bowl to a towel. I do not like having to do that while someone attends to the bottom of my feel or heels. Ms. Glen has it worked out where I can truly relax the whole time. I also left with one of Ms. Glen's therapeutic hand and foot oils in Lemon. She makes the oils herself! It smells so good and leaves a refreshing but not overpowering scent. It feels good oiling my feet every night. Like another reviewer said, this is not your run of the mill pedicure shop. This is a therapeutic service that is worth every penny. My goal is to make this a regular treatment. If my feet are healthy, I am healthier! Thanks Ms. Glen for such a wonderful experience! I'll be back. And thanks again for the massage therapist recommendation. Rest and recovery, here I come!

Ms. Glen should rebrand her business as RESTORATION!! If you're looking for a traditional pedicure…read morewith in and out service and a fancy polish job, this isn't for you. If your feet are in need of TLC, renewal and restoration, Ms. Glen has a carefully curated service that will leave your feet feeling brand new. I had recently purchased a soap that helps with skin discoloration. It hasn't been making any improvement in the uneven skin tone and dark marks on my feet. Turns out I just needed an appointment with Ms. Glen. The exfoliation she provided literally rubbed away 15 years from my feet. My dry scratchy heels were left supple and smooth and the calloused areas were left soft. Had I known what I was in store for I would have taken before and after pictures. She even provided socks for me to leave in, to seal in the moisture. My favorite part hands down was the massage. She kneaded into these tired soles, and I needed that! I paid a little more than the price listed (which she does quote as a base price) but she also spent almost 2x the amount of time listed. My Fiancé noticed the difference in appearance and feel immediately. I intentionally waited until 24 hours+ had passed to write this review, wanting to see if my feet would feel just as nice. THEY DO!! Ms. Glen definitely puts pride in her work and I love how she checked in throughout the process to ensure I was satisfied along the way. I recommend her service to anyone looking to give their feet a more youthful feel and look. And if your feet have severe issues that might keep you from visiting open public salons, her private suite will help you feel comfortable and secure. Right before I left, Ms. Glen threw in a bottle of her therapeutic hand & foot oil once she saw how dry my hands were. I had discussed my upcoming nuptials with her and she wanted to make sure my hands moisturized properly for my big day, even providing a demonstration on proper application. Ms. Glen is a gem!

Unexpected Charges and Lack of Transparency…read more I booked my appointment in person on Tuesday 7/15 because I wasn't sure what to select online for Gel-X removal. I trusted the front desk staff to guide me, and was quoted $80 for Gel-X, builder gel removal, and French tip. At my appointment on Friday 7/18, I was unexpectedly charged $110! I was told the card on file couldn't be used for the service--only for late fees or no-shows--which made no sense. If the salon can charge the card for penalties, why not for the actual service being provided? This was especially frustrating because the appointment was a gift for a huge accomplishment of mine, from my mother, so of course I didn't have the physical card with me. On top of that I was also charged extra for nail length without warning, and billed twice for polish: $20 for gel color and $15 for French tip, even though I only received 1 design; french tip. When I asked for clarification, staff just pointed to the online pricing--but I booked in person to avoid that confusion. The experience felt misleading. I intentionally came in person to avoid confusion and relied on the staff to guide me accurately. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I would not recommend this salon to anyone. If you're considering booking here, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for more transparent and customer-friendly service.

A beautiful set of nails!

Still workIng with Jill a decade later. She comes to my hotel room when I'm in town (every few months) and it's always a pleasure to see her. I prefer to call Jill a 'nail therapist'. Why? Multiple reasons. For one, my nails receive the best treatment. They never dry out and the manicure lasts a good long time. She's a true, experienced professional. Secondly, Jill has a healing, gentle and magical touch. Her listening skills are that of a therapist and she just brings a calming presence to the treatment. There is a natural grace to her. I think that sums it up best. read more
