    I open door and enter nail salon for a mani and pedi. Me: Hello - all smiles Male Technician counting receipts: What do you need? Me: How are you? Male Technician: what do you need? Me: I don't need anything. Enjoy your day! Pissed! How rude! I have never been to this establishment before, and guess what?? Umm humm!

    If I could give 0 stars I would. First, the people that work there are SO rude! I wish I would've walked out then but I was DESPERATE! Their work is horrendous. Look at my toes after one day! They thought this was acceptable work?! I went back for them to fix it and they wouldn't. I will NEVER go back or recommend!

    Not even been 2 weeks!!!!!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!! They deleted my first review so I'll just come here!!! I'm normally never one to complain about services of any sort. When I pay $100 to get a pedi and nails done I expect the best! But instead I get nail polish that came off of my toes after one day and then the acrylic is breaking away from my nails. And not to mention my initial visit was rushed and had to ask the girl to slow down. I called them and explained what was going on and the lady told me to come there and she would fix it. Well that didn't happen. They repainted my toes but that was it. Instead of just fixing my nails they had me sit in the pedi chair, completely ignoring me and I got asked what did I want to do with my nails. Told the girl I was completely unhappy and this should have never happened and I would like them fixed. She just shrugged it off and left me sitting there. After 1 hr of sitting there and being completely ignored I just ended up leaving. You don't treat your customers this way!!!!! I will be contacting 5 on your side about this bc I'm not the only person this has happened to!!!!!

    Went in for a fill in and a polish change and left with all of my nails being different lengths and different shapes and uneven bumpy polish. Should have went to usual place but wanted to stop in on my way home. Learned my lesson and won't be back

    Look at the polish

    Me and my two sisters went to get 2 full sets and I just got my toes painted for her wedding. The brides nails look good it is a normal job not to bad but the other set was horrible. When she sat down the lady said does your boyfriend let you walk around like that and then she was talking about being hung over. I got my toes done in regular polish I previously had jel polish all they did was take it if and my nail polish was clumping together I sat in the dryer for 30 minutes. I'm so disappointed these people don't need to be working Here

    Last Sunday, I took my daughter to La Vie Nails to get her eyebrows done. The lady that did her eyebrows first off told her that her acne was "bad" and asked if she ever washes her face. Then as she was doing her eyebrows she left the wax on her eye for too long and it ripped it off so hard that it ripped her skin up. She will now have a scar there forever. Thanks La Vie for that!!! Btw... we had to even get wax out of her hair after the fact! Never taking her back!!!!!

    I've had acrylic nails, gel nails, pedicures, gel polish and now I have fallen in love with the gel powder polishes.

    I moved to the area from Raleigh in July and had been going to back to downtown Raleigh to get my…read morenails done at the place I usually go to, but knew that wouldn't last long so I'd need to find a place to go. My neighbors suggested here since they had been, but they had only gotten gel manicure and a pedicure. I get acrylic nails and keep them pretty lengthy so I'm a bit particular at times. This is located in the shopping center near the Food Lion and shares a parking lot with the other businesses on the strip. Sometimes parking is scarce depending on the day and time, but it's still available. They require you to wear a mask and have you complete and sign a waiver upon entering. They also provide temperature checks as well. I've not made an appointment, so they are accepting walk-ins. There are plenty of stations for nails and pedicures as well as plenty of technicians. Overall I've been pleased. The salon is clean and all the staff wears mask as well. The prices are comparable to other nail salons and I feel they are fair. I pay $40 for a fill-in with gel polish which is average for most salons. They do a good job with my nails and take their time. They also provide hot stone back/shoulder massage with your service and warm towels for your hands when your nails are complete. There are not many nail salons in the area and it's extremely convenient for me so I will definitely be back and recommend it if you live in the area. It's not the fanciest salon, but they do a good job.

    Horrible experience. My hairstylist was 30min late to our appointment. Then I had to wait another…read more30min for her to figure out how to renew her license on her phone because the inspector was in the building. We had no discussion about cost or any kind of consult. She began working on my hair and told me we'd be done in a couple of hours. Well, she ran over her time by 1.5 hours and my husband and I missed our appointment that we had planned afterwards. He showed up and waited patiently because she said we'd be done soon. SMH! Because she ran over her estimated time, she began to rush through my treatment. She decided not to wash my treatment out which was fine until I got home and all I smelled throughout the night was horrible chemicals. I wanted to vomit because the smell was so strong and awful. And when it was time to pay. The fee I was expecting to pay was from what I saw listed on her website. What I was being charged was an extra $60 in addition to what was listed. She claimed I had a lot of hair and needed more product; I've had this treatment performed several times before at other salons and they never charge me extra. At the beginning of the appointment she said the special shampoo and conditioner I was being sent home with was included in the price, so I thought oh that's great. But afterwards she said the price increase was because of the special products she had to send me with. There was no fine print on her website that broke down any possible price increases, and the details listed said the shampoo and conditioner were included in the cost, so why am I having to pay extra for them? Why didn't she have a proper consult at the beginning of the hair appt? Is it because you were 1 hour late to begin? Plus having to hear gossip and poking fun about the other stylists in the salon was rude and uncomfortable. So incredibly unprofessional. Never again.

She is very knowledgeable with color, and knows what will and won't look good on your head. She's given my limp, straight hair volume and life. I've also had several appointments with Kendra and she is wonderful as well. She knows what you're wanting from a hair cut and style even if you don't. I've given her free rein with my hair and am never disappointed. I will gladly commute from North Raleigh every 6-8 weeks to Clayton just for these two women.

She was knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and efficient! I experienced the "rapid" tan and this gives you an automatic tan. You can shower (rinse with no soap) about 3 hours after. You then shower 12-24 hours later normally, without shaving. I waited for about 24 hours. I love that you can sleep without the tan getting on your sheets, especially considering ours are white. I got this for an event last weekend and am still loving it! I told her exactly what I wanted, although it was difficult as I had not had a spray tan in probably ten years! She somehow knew exactly what to do, and it was beautiful and natural looking. Almost 6 days later, still tan and beautiful. Me being me, I had plenty of questions. They responded quickly with many answers to ensure my tan would not be affected by what I wore, showering, moisturizers, etc. I highly recommend Tansformations. They have five stars for a reason! I already have the next tanning session booked for my sister and I, for my bachelorette next month! Can't wait!

    I'm giving 2 stars because the 1st cut I had from Carly was great. The 2nd left A LOT to be…read moredesired. The 1st time I went, I came in with my hair straightened and Carly decided to do a dry cut (since it was straight) and then wash and style. The 2nd time I went, Carly decided to wash before the cut/style and, while I couldn't tell initially after styling, my hair was terribly uneven when I left. Like in a serious way - pictures attached. I will say that when I texted Carly a photo, she confirmed that was not her intention and offered to try to correct the error. I do appreciate this. I went back in and she was able to "even" it out as best she could given the condition. It wasn't ideal, but I get it. Mistakes happen. I'm now considering going back for a 3rd go, but I am a bit hesitant given my experience. I will update my review if I do return.

I was actually really happy to do this because it gave me a good idea of what to expect for my appointment and what the overall vibe of the salon was . Carly took a look at all of my pictures of the type of hair that i liked , and booked my appointment for a few weeks out . She gave me a cost estimate at the consultation which i am really grateful for because I've experienced "sticker shock " before at hair appointments , expecting to pay one thing and getting a much higher bill at the end of the service . I will say that the prices listed on the website are very much " starting prices " . My hair service ended up being a corrective color and did take several hours , however Carly explained to me that i will be able to go for several months in between my highlighting services so in my opinion, it was well worth the money and time ! Also , my hair looked better than i could have ever imagined , even better than the pictures i showed !
