This is the BEST place we've had pedicures at in Hampton Roads!!! Greeted immediately upon walking in with a very happy vibe. The place is clean and very well kept. Wifey did the regular pedi w/ a French manicure = perfect! I did the spa pedi ($45) and it was the best. Best I've had in the area. 5 stars for just the calf massage! Wifey also had her eyebrows waxed and they came out great. They do all the things and the whole staff was super friendly! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Cute shop, you get a different experience every time you go in so that's why I'm taking off one star since it's different based upon the day I guess. Sometimes I'm offered a drink when I come in sometimes I'm not sometimes when I get a fill, they put lotion on my hand and do a little massage and sometimes they do not. I will say I really like how Jasmine shapes my nails and if you want a cute design, she's your girl the place itself is a little pricey when you start doing nail design so make sure you ask before they do it so you're not surprised by a crazy bill at the end. read more

This was my first time going to this salon. First impressions were great...it is beautiful, clean, quiet and most importantly does not smell of acetone. I was there for a mani/pedi and eye brow wax. I was a walk-in and they got me right in. The pedicure was excellent-I got there basic pedicure but they had optional upgraded services. I was less impressed with the manicure-my nails are beautiful but it was not the service I expected, no hand massage, no work on my cuticles. Overall, though, it was a great experience and I will definitely go back. read more

Pleasantly surprised about how nice this salon is. It's clean and looks like they keep it more sanitary than local nail salons I have visited lately. The employees and owner were present and were very nice. They even offered 2 free nail designs for kids, just know it's two only, not two per hand. I assumed it was 2 per hand so when they told me that it was an up charge for the extra two I'm positive I must have made a face because they didn't charge me in the end. The young man who did my mani/pedi did a good job but the owner had to step in when it came to the tiny designs. He did try though. Only negatives about his manicure job is that I had to keep pointing out that he filed a few nails unevenly but fixed them when I asked. No complaints in English but he was speaking to the other young man the whole time while doing my nails in a different language. So who knows. Then their white gel nail polish was old, he was literally digging in to it to get some on his brush and there were black specs inside which made him have to wipe and redo the nails again a few times until he grabbed another almost empty white bottle. Which worked. I believe this caused bubbles in the gel because I had to point out to him that there were bubbles in my cured gel, he just said he'd fix it by cutting them out. Which he did with a cuticle cutter but then it left an indent in my nail polish. The nails and pedi came out pretty, eventually, for the price I just wish the design wasn't rushed. Overall I'm not displeased but not against trying another facility before coming back. *update: My mani nails only lasted a week before starting to peel off, which makes me so sad because I did like the design for the most part. Pedi nails are still going strong though. read more

I've been here twice for pedicures with my wife. The staff is friendly, the salon is clean, and the pricing is fair. The services have been good both times, and we've left happy with the results. My only small complaint is that the salon is very brightly lit, which makes it a little harder for me to fully relax during a pedicure. That's just a personal preference, though. Overall, a good experience and a place I'd recommend. read more

David did my nails. It was my last day of vacation before heading home, and I owed my SIL a little bit of relaxing time out. It was packed in here, and people still kept coming while we were in there. Took less than 45 minutes total. I got a gel manicure. She got a gel pedicure with a foot massage. Overall, this place was decent. Not expensive, but you get what you pay for. I won't be back. The parts by my cuticles weren't done very nicely, so when my nails grew out, it looked all sorts of crazy. After a week, my hair was pulling on my nails because of the gel. read more

A.J. - horrible. Will not be going back for nail service but will go back to the person who did my pedi. A.J. was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Did not respond to me when I stated he hurt me twice with the drill file. I said "Ow, that hurt" TWICE and the man didnt acknowledge me at all. At the end he surprise charged me for a service that I didnt receive. I pointed it out and he was flustered, said "ok fine, if you dont wanna pay that, thats fine. Dont pay it." and he left to get the owner. She was professional and nice, kept apologizing. He should be working somewhere he does not have to deal with people at all. read more

It was nice to be able to make an appointment for us and our granddaughters all together on a Sunday. That said, they tried to charge us the adult price for the kids mani/pedi. And although I've been assured that it's normal, they added eye drops to the nail polish, which I find a little disconcerting. And my nails look like there's bubbles or grit in the polish.

I recently moved from Virginia Beach to Moyock so I have been desperately trying to find somewhere and someone that compared to my previous nail tech Megan in Strawbridge, and warning I'm about to be cringey. Julie at MK Nails First, NAILED IT . Ok, I warned you! She took her time but also didn't take a painfully long time. I usually don't have special requests just pick my color and carry on but I showed her a photo and she looked very quickly and said "OK, pick the colors and I'll do that". I was a bit hesitant because I didn't feel like she looked long enough and it was a french tip but curved so I felt like I was gonna end up with a nail shape and tip shape I didn't want. I left the salon feeling like my nails looked JUST like the reference photo! She recommended to do acrylic in order to get the length/shape I wanted, so I did. My nails have been breaking off so some were long enough others weren't. I mentioned to her that I usually do gel polish and haven't done acrylic in a very long time and she made sure to make it look natural. Thank you Julie, you did an amazing job and I will be back! read more

I recently moved to Chesapeake from Virginia Beach and was hesitant to find another nail salon. I tried Nails First the week after we moved in and I won't go anywhere else again! I've had my nails done by three different people there and they all did a fantastic job, but my favorite was AJ! He's engaging, professional, proficient and does an amazing job! The prices here are a little higher than I was paying in VAB, but the service is so much better at Nails First! I took my elderly Mother and Aunt (both in their 70's), there for a mani/pedi, and Kayla, Tien, and AJ were so nice to them and made them feel welcome. Good customer service is so important to me. Along with a great set of nails, I'm always satisfied and won't be going anywhere else! read more

Been coming here since 2014, love Kayla,Tim & the majority of the staff. however, today's visit was horrid! An older man did my nails, he ripped my broken nail off my thumb and when I pulled back & told him he was hurting me,he ignored me. He was rough with the filing and more. When I discovered I didn't like yh3 color I had on and asked him to change it, he got angry and then halfway did my nails. I've never experienced such bad service here, but you could tell Kayla wasn't there. I left from there with a painful, throbbing thumb, a bad paint job on 1 hand, and a sour taste in my mouth. I am a frequent customer there (every other week) & I've spent tons of $$$ here..it really sucks that 1 person can somewhat ruin a place I love to go.

I wasn't in search of a new hairstylist, as I love the one that I have gone to in the past…read more However, my go-to hairstylist is located in Wburg, so it takes a lot more coordination to make the trek to the other side of the water. My hair was so long and I was beyond annoyed with the length and definitely was in search of a new haircut. I asked my sister-in-law who she and my niece went to, and she referred me to Kayla at Sleek Salon & Spa. I submitted my inquiry on their website that night and that's where all the magic began. The inquiry was late, but I got a call from the salon mid-morning the very next day. The person who called me was so nice and answered my preliminary questions. It turned out that Kayla had availability that same day, so I jumped at the chance. - Kayla - My sister-in-law raved about her, so I was expecting no less. Kayla was super friendly when we met and asked what I had in mind. I also asked her the same out of curiosity lol... "as a hairstylist, what are you dying to do to my hair right now?" We came to an agreement (I wasn't feeling drastic this go around), but she did want to bring my hair back to a more healthy look. What I got: a haircut. She actually cut it twice, because the first time, she cut a few inches off, but I was being a little more daring and decided to cut another few inches off. I had so much hair! Due to my Asian heritage and the way Asian hair tends to behave, she suggested and asked that she reverse the process and cut my hair while it was dry, then wash and them blow dry. That was a great suggestion, because there weren't any surprises and it shows that she knows what she is doing! Result: The proof is in the pictures. I'll leave it at that. I must have lost a good 2 lbs just from the cut. It. feels. so. good. I ended up getting the leave-in conditioner that she used on my hair which was $47. A little steep, but it'll probably last me awhile. Things to note: - AVEDA products for sale only, unless AVEDA does not make a certain product. They have a mix of CBD products. - They are open late for working customers which I thought was very nice. I got an appointment at 7pm. - Stylist price varies according to education and experience. Kayla's haircut starts at $60 depending on texture and length, but my hair is in the middle, not thin and not that thick. I was charged $60, which I was so happy about because have you called around for haircuts these days? Kayla can take my money! - you can get $25 credit for referring new customers! The salon was pretty spacious too, and clean. Just a nice vibe. They don't play super loud music and play the chill vibe tunes, staying true to the word "spa" in their name. It's right next to Momo's Kitchen. They seem to cater to all ages too, because there were kids next to me getting their hair done also. Highly recommend, and enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!

My girl did an amazing job, listened to my concerns and make sure to hits the spots I had the worst pain in. 10/10 would do again.

So, I found this place with good reviews on YELP. First, the location was hard to find (especially if you're not from the area). Second, she had her child running in and out of the room she was doing my eyelashes in, which I don't mind, but if you don't like kids, beware. Third, when she was done, I noticed that there were some spots that were bare when I told her that there seems to be some spots missing, she said that she glued an extension to every lash I had and it's because I chose to do a classic set that it looks like this and that I should have gone with hybrid lashes if I wanted more lash. I have done classic sets before and never had it look a bit patchy. Fourth, after a day of having these lashes done, the eyelashes poked the life out of my left eye, which I have never experienced with eyelash extensions. My right eyelash extensions kept bothering me to the point that many have already fallen out. I finally got so annoyed with these lashes after about a week, I YouTube how to take off lash extensions from home at 10 at night because again, these lash extensions bothered me to death. The only reason I did not give this review a lower score is because it did look decent when I first got them done and it did the job of making me look nice at the wedding I was attending. However, I will not be going back to this place to get my lashes done again. I don't think I can stand being tortured by these faux lashes that this place glued to eyelashes.

I had a great experience at this nail salon with Jasmine as my nail tech. Although her English isn't perfect, she puts in a lot of effort to understand exactly what you want--and it shows. She gave me exactly the design I asked for using liquid gel, and her attention to detail and skill are truly impressive. I really appreciate how hard she worked to make sure I was happy with the result. Highly recommend Jasmine if you're looking for quality and care! read more

Just had an awesome spa pedicure from Tara! I have been going there for about 6 months and have had great experiences with nails and feet! I have tried a lot of nail salons in the Great Bridge area and this one is the best by far...every one is super friendly, the place is clean and the foot massages are outstanding! Thanks Kayla for being so nice and Tara for a great pedi today! It will definitely make my workweek better at the hospital! read more

For…read moreexample, there's a charge to remove the gel for a fill in on top of the fill in price... $5 for french, $3 for cut down. I came to get a gel fill in and my toes repolished (no pedicure) and paid $112. Nick was cool. But just from observation they aren't friendly to their customers. I witnessed them laugh in a customers face when she expressed concern about something. When Nick asked me if I wanted to cut my toes down I initially said yes, but then I said actually no and he laughed and said something to the girl beside him and they both laughed. Other than that he was pretty patient and based off the other reviews it doesn't seem like that's the case for the majority. When I was checking out, the lady asked me how I would like to pay and I said card. I am standing there waiting for her to show me where to pay and she says "Ma'am?" and I continue to look at her because im not sure why she's saying ma'am. She says, "right here" impatiently and picks up card machine that's hiding all the way to the left as if I were suppose to know where it was. Nick calmly showed me where to pay. I paid, asked for a price list so that I can show you all. I know it can be embarrassing as they get very defensive when you ask what you're paying for. There is prices on the screen that tells you what you're paying for either and I feel like that's something each customer should know. I feel like they also should be informing customers that there is a price to take off the polish they already have before they do it. What would be better is if they provide customers with the price list when they come into the door. I have no idea how much their fill in cost. It's not on the list. But I know $112 is a price for typically a full set of nails and a pedicure. This was my first time here and I can confidently say I won't be back. I think this is one of those salons where if you get someone that's good (like Kevin from what I've read) then you stick with them and you'll be happy coming here.

Manicures, pedicures, waxing, lashes, etc. They also have so many nail options to choose from, including gel, liquid gel/builder gel, powder dip, acrylic, and more. They accept walk-ins, and they're VERY efficient. This was my second time here, and both times I was called back almost immediately (never more than a 5-minute wait). They also offer a complimentary drink, and I always choose water, so I'm not sure if the other drink options cost extra. They are definitely on the pricier side, though. The first time I came, I got powder dip because my nails had been really weak. They put gel over the top, and I felt like they didn't file it down enough, so my nails ended up being pretty thick. I also noticed they don't really clean up your cuticles, which I wasn't a huge fan of. I also feel like they don't quite give you that "pampered" experience. I've been to a few nail salons where they massage your legs/feet during a pedicure and even put your flip-flops back on for you afterward. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I honestly thought that was a pretty normal thing at nail salons! My pedicure was very quick and efficient, though. I only got the classic pedicure, which was about 30 minutes. I also LOVE their color selection, especially the amount of neutral shades they have. One thing I really didn't like was the cleanliness around the nail stations. When you're sitting in the manicure area, there were pieces of acrylic on the floor from previous customers. It definitely takes away from the experience. The second time I came, I tried builder gel and I MUCH preferred it. It's thinner than the powder dip but still gives your natural nails protection. They also did a really good job shaping my nails, which I appreciated. Overall, I like the convenience, huge selection, quick service, and their color choices. I think I'll stick with builder gel here going forward or keep looking for cheaper salons!
