    Horrible cuticles and need to be filled 4 days after having nails done!
    Faith H.

    I haven't been in probably a year, but my daughter wanted nails to start the new school year so I gave in and took her to my favorite nail salon. I have been going here for years! I was happy that with school starting in a few weeks there was no wait! She got her nails done and I paid almost $50... seemed a little high but I figured I had not had mine done in a year so I guess the price went up. I did not inspect her nails as I wasn't feeling well and didn't want to take her at all but it was the last day she could go before school starts. Three days after having them done she said one just came off, so I looked at her nails. They didn't moisturize her hand, soak her cuticles or trim cuticles... I have honestly done a better job myself with an at home kit. . The nails look like she has 4 weeks of growth and it's been 3 days!!!!!! Needless to say I wasn't happy, but being as I have been many many times over the years I decided to sum it up to a mistake. I took her back today and asked for them to fix it. They replaced the one nail that broke off and repainted the others. Didn't fill in anything or clean up the cuticles that I mentioned to them. Needless to say I will be going elsewhere from now on. All the pictures are from today 8/17/2018.... four days after having the nails done and right after they "fixed" it. Update: 8/22/18 Hardly a week after having them done two more nails popped off. My daughter then pulled the rest off like press on nails. I have had my nails done several times and it's painful to try to remove them yourself. This is beyond the worst job I have ever seen done. It was the man that is always there who did them too. We will not be going back ever for anything.

    Don't go there!

    I was impressed with pedicure I received. For $35 they apply sea salt scrub, paraffin hot wax and do hot stone massage. You won't be disappointed! Update: after continuing to use these guys for several months I learned that it's better to not go before closing or not at all. They will do a crap, rushed job and cause damage to your real nails. They will not even apologize for the damage caused and accuse you of being a complainer. Rather than apologize they'll invite you to not come back, shocking to hear as a regular customer and still demand payment for the poor service. Many other better options to choose from!

    After changing jobs, I needed to find a new nail salon closer to home and work. I stopped in here on a Sunday when I had a couple of spare hours. I was not disappointed. I settled on the deluxe pedicure and regular manicure as they were having a special. For $35, I got a pedi with a sea salt scrub,paraffin hot wax, hot stone massage, foot masquerade, and a cooling foot gel. And it made my mani a couple bucks cheaper! There were 4 girls working and all of them were busy. The shop was clean and smelled pleasantly. When i arrived, I was greeted promptly and the pedicure menu was given to me and services and prices explained. I was shown the complementary drink menu which includes soda, tea, coffee, and wine! I opted for a diet coke, which was waiting in an ice cold can at my chair by the time I picked my polish out. They do use clean files for each client, so if you don't have your own you have to buy one for $1. I happen to have my own kit with me because nail funk worries me, but it was nice to see they actually follow generally accepted sanitary practices. No lame nail art posters here, think more hotel decor. Tasteful, mellow. The girls were very nice, but not chatty. They offer waxing services in addition to nails that i did not partake in. I will be back in for sure. Only negatives: some of the girls speak very little English so communication a specific request proved too difficult and i just gave up. Very nice, but language barrier. Also, I ended up short my cooling foot mask... Not that it was a huge deal. With that many services, I had a hard time keeping track what came in what order.

    I decided to get a last minute shellac manicure while away on a work trip. Came in at 6:15 and was hoping they could take me in which they did. Rachel did such a fantastic job on my nails! I didn't feel as though she was rushing at all even though they were almost closed and she offered me a drink which was sweet. she took her time to cut/clean my cuticles very carefully making sure she got everything. She gave me an awesome Massage which was perfect after a long day. She shaped my nails the way I asked and I walked out very happy.

    This place is a pure gem. I came in for a pedicure and set of acrylics, and was greeted by the owner herself. She was very pleasant and attentive. I had my five year old brother with me and she even let him sit in "the cool massage chair." She was cracking jokes and gave me an amazing pedicure, not once did she clip my skin either. We were offered free drinks upon sitting down as well. The only complaint I have is when a different person started my acrylics. He didn't match two nails to the rest and they looked square but I didn't say anything. I went to target, accidentally messed the paint, and came back asking for a quick fix, where a woman repainted my two messed up nails and I mentioned the shape which she then fixed for me! The prices are good and the people are amazing, I definitely recommend this place.

    Pink and white ombré acrylic nails done by Thu

    I love Lena nails! Recently moved to the area and have been here several times in the last few months. Today, Thu did my nails (pink and white ombré acrylic nails) and I'm so happy with them! I'm really impressed by how they turned out. Lena nails is clean, I was also able to call in and get an appointment within the hour on a Friday evening! Would definitely recommend.

    Excellent job, love the service and people. Highly recommend lena gel nail to everyone.

I received a call a few hours later from Gretchen and she mentioned that the 3rd was available at 11:00AM which is what I had for the 4th. I asked if there was an earlier spot and she said yes at 10:00AM with her. I told I would take it. I wasn't too picky who did my brows as long as it got done. When I arrived yesterday, my appointment was on time and Gretchen was amazing. Gretchen asked if there was anything in particular that I needed done other than the brow clean up and my response was no. I only pointed out that it's a medium shape for stencil purposes and she agreed. She was friendly, outgoing and a perfectionist like me. I walked out with lovely brows. I look forward to my next visit with her. This has been my #1 place for eyebrow services. I get points on my Nordstrom's card and it's close to where I live. It's a win-win situation for both sides. You just can't go wrong! Thanks for reading!

I told her I wanted a natural brown highlight that maintained my previous color and she made me feel so beautiful by the time we were done! I don't know how she did it, but she blended my brown highlight into my natural dark black hair to compliment my skin tone perfectly. It wasn't brassy, not reddish, it is this perfect shade that looks natural and still beautiful when it grows out. I also enjoyed talking to her throughout our session!

Then I text her to confirm the appointment and checked to make sure she felt comfortable with short blended styles. (not a lot of stylists do these days) and then she said that because she's never cut my hair that she couldn't get it "perfect", and immediately cancelled my appointment without another word. It was very strange and rude. I never said she had to cut it "perfect". I said the inspo pic was perfect. So odd. Anyway, guess I dodged a bullet.
