When I saw the rave reviews for True Colors Beauty, I immediately checked them out and felt like I was in good hands. From beginning to end, working with TCB was a dream. Sarah, the beauty coordinator, is extremely thorough and helpful, responding to my questions quickly. The environment when I visited for my trial was upbeat, fun, clean, and welcoming! I was assigned Taylor for my makeup and Kristi for my hair. They both delivered my dream bridal look on my big day. They were right on time (and we had to be ready early!), fun, and made our morning that much more special. My hair/makeup look stayed ALL day and ALL night from 11:30am - 11:30pm! Davey & the hair/makeup girls are true professionals. Moving forward, when I need beauty services done for future events, I know I will definitely be going back to them. TCB is the easiest recommendation I will ever make, not just for weddings but other events too!

I'm a little late with this review, I had called to make an appointment for highlights and while on…read morethat call I asked for their color specialist. They told me the Natasha was their senior color specialist and would be able to help me with my highlights. Let me start out with that for the price they are charging they should do much better. I previously had my hair done by an Aveda Salon in LA, so I had asked my old hairstylist for the formula that she used. When I went to Natasha I came prepared with pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like, which were pictures of me and with the formula in hand. I even emphasized that I wanted them to look natural. She not only made the highlights look so contrast but they were yellow and I had bleach spots, which I found when I got home. The highlights looked as if they were grown out for a month and when she was washing my hair she rubbed on the area where there was a bleach orange spot that she created. My issues here is that they placed me with "Senior Color Specialist" yet how could someone do yellow highlights and leave you with orange spots. I called the next day and they offered to correct, although Nina made a effort to correct what was done I would not recommend coming here to get your hair highlighted UPDATE REVIEW I was promptly contacted by the salon owners after posting my review and offered to have my hair done again to my satisfaction. I have an appointment to go back, I honestly appreciated their attentiveness to what occurred.

Hyacinth immediately stepped in and made the whole experience incredibly easy.

She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and never made me feel out of place.

Hyacinth was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. She deserves the recognition--and honestly, a raise. I spent more than I planned! But happy wife=happy life. I'll definitely be asking for her the next time I shop at Sephora. Thank you so much Hyacinth!

After reviewing their work on Instagram, we decided to make an appointment here. Originally, my daughter wanted to stick with dip to maintain her natural nail length, but the nail tech explained that the specific design she requested could not be achieved with dip powder. She transitioned to Aprés Gel-X instead, and still made changes from the original inspiration photo to simplify needs and costs after consulting with the nail tech. The final result was absolutely gorgeous and prom-ready! The only surprise was the number of additional fees added throughout the appointment, so she called me a few times to confirm costs before proceeding. I was happy to cover it for such a memorable milestone event. In the end she got one nail with light blue french tip, two nails painted blue and two nails with painted butterfly or flower design on each hand where in her original design it was a different design on each nail. While we will likely continue using our regular salon for routine nails due to the pricing structure here, I would recommend Nail Haven for weddings, prom, and other special occasions depending on your design aspirations.

These nail designs on both hands (4 designs total) cost an extra $50.

I FINALLY FOUND IT FOLKS!!!…read more I've been going to Refresh Nail Spa since winter 2023, after searching for salons that offer drill-free manicures and focus on natural nail care like IBX treatments. I ended up finding Bernadette, an independent nail tech who works there--and she's been an absolute gem. While she does use a drill (contrary to what I originally searched for), she's incredibly skilled, gentle, and precise--so much so that it never damages my nails. Her technique is both efficient and mindful, striking the perfect balance between machine and hand filing. Initially, I was getting regular gel manicures, but Bernadette truly cares about nail health, and she suggested switching to builder gel (BIAB). It was a game-changer. Builder gel doesn't require soaking off and allows for continuous fills--meaning you can build on top of your last set without compromising nail integrity. Since switching, my nails have grown so long, strong, and healthy, and a single BIAB manicure can last me up to 6 weeks! Beyond nails, Bernadette is a wonderful person--easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She also specializes in pedicures for clients with diabetes or other health conditions, which speaks volumes about her expertise and sensitivity to clients' unique needs. If you're looking for a thoughtful, health-conscious nail experience, I highly recommend Refresh Nail Spa and Bernadette in particular. My monthly visits have become something I genuinely look forward to.
