This was easily the worst Brazilian wax I've ever had. For starters, my esthetician did not leave the room for me to get undressed and get on the table. I have never had that happen to me, and made me uncomfortable from the jump. For context, I've been waxing for about 2 years now. This wax hurt more than when I tried sugaring a few months back, which hurt like noooobody's business. My esthetician pulled almost every strip off in two pulls, which prolonged the pain. I've had estheticians sometimes pull strips in two rips if it's a big one, but never EVERY SINGLE ONE. At the end of the wax, she went back and did a few clean up strips AND tweezed. I was confident that she did a good job, even though she didn't offer a mirror to look at her work. As soon as I got into my car, I lifted my dress just to peek. When I tell you PATCHES! I have NEVER had an esthetician miss so. many. hairs. And not like thin, lighter hairs that the wax can't grab. Thick, coarse hairs that definitely could have and should have been removed. I was so disappointed. Not to mention, this is the most expensive Brazilian I've ever had ($62 BEFORE TIP). Definitely not worth the money, and I won't be back.

The new expanded Wax Poetic is so pretty ! and cool you can go in the back for privacy, or go up front and hang in the stylish waiting area

We just moved to the area so I started looking for a shop that did quality pedicures. For me,…read morequality is not rushed, minimum 45 minutes and overall relaxing. My shop before is kind of far away, so figured I give a new spot a try. Based on the reviews this sounded like a great place to go. Numerous reviews stating comfy pedicures that weren't rushed and were relaxing. This was KEY for me. Now, my other shop is a force to be reckoned with so this sounded like the same vibe. Unfortunately, it fell very short for me. The first thing I rarely do is book a pedicure without the amount of time stated on their menu. Which this place did not have, but did state how long the massage would be during the service you picked. We did Vin's pedicure which included an 8 minute massage. Do I feel like I was massaged for 8 minutes? Not really. Not only that, the service was done in 30 minutes. The color I picked was not cleaned up around the edges and my pinky toe had a piece of nail that wasn't even polished. For me, the quality is just not there. Attention to detail was lacking and it's honestly not something I want anyone to fix per se, because it should have already been done in the first place. Last but certainly not least, my feet were so dry when I left. No cuticle oil or anything. For what we paid, I wasn't impressed and would rather spend more for a quality pedi vs a turn and burn pedi. Now the pros: nice massage chairs, complimentary drink and they offer wine as well. The 2nd drink you would have to pay for.

Can't say enough wonderful things about this place and these people!! High quality and kind in every aspect of care. Kevin is a dip magician, truly. His dip manicures last me 3+ weeks without lifting or chipping. Hannah is also so lovely and skilled. She did the most gentle dip removal I've ever had in my life. I dread getting my dip removed because of the damage and thinning of my nails but she went out of her way to protect my nails and was so sweet and attentive to every detail. She also trialed the color for me on an acrylic so I could see the color and perfectly shaped my nails/trimmed to the length needed for my profession. Couldn't be happier I found Natural Nails!!! Thank you all for your lovely hard work. read more

I love this place! I was really disappointed to read the negative reviews but they seems like they aren't very recent so I can only assume management made some changes. My nails last SO LONG (my acrylics are currently on week FOUR because I just haven't had the money, all nails are still firmly attached) and I'm always happy with the service. When I bring my four year old daughter in with me she has so much fun with them; if someone is free they play with her, show her the fish tank, etc. I can't recommend them enough! If you reading reviews to decide whether or not to try them, do it! Don't be discouraged be old reviews. I'm so picky about my nails and this is the only salon I've ever become a regular at. read more

New favorite nail salon in my town!! After worked yesterday, I called for an appointment at 7pm for shellac manicure. This salon is courteously decorated with new furniture and pedi chairs combine with a thousand of beauty products and nail color collection. The owner was extremely kind and did a beautiful job on my nails, making sure each one was perfect before moving. Careless, I tough on my dress and one was broken but she was not angry and repaired at no extra charge. This will be my new go to nail salon in this area after terrible experiences at other salons that are far pricier and only left me disappointed with their quality of work. I will definitely come back. Highly recommend!! read more

I've been going to Natural Nails for years and I would never even consider another salon!

The staff is professional, the salon is always clean and I'm always seen quickly and treated the way a customer should be.

We dried her nails for over 40 minutes in the shop, and they never did set. They were soft all day so we had to take the polish off when we got home because it was just if you hit anything the polish was pushing up. I know y'all were really busy today, but you need to take the time to do a good job on people who have appointments, and you are working on. While I'm from out of state, my daughter lives in Hillsborough, and would maybe frequent your shop but probably not after this. I paid $185 for two kids to have a pedicure and manicure and me to have a pedicure and manicure with gel polish and it's absolutely not worth it. The only good thing about the day was the gentleman who was working was very pleasant. The other two women were not.

A couple months ago, I made an appointment through their website during business hours. When I came at the appointed time, the door was locked. I called and someone picked up and told me she was sick and to make an appointment for a different day, even though my initial appointment had been placed and I had gotten a confirmation text. I didn't even get a discount for coming on a different day after driving to their shop initially, and finding them closed during business hours and with a scheduled appointment. This week, I received a birthday text to get $10 off my next visit. I had gotten my nails done a week ago and they were already chipped but I figured I would just come get them done again instead of asking for them to be redone, since there was a decent discount. The same person who had done my nails last week, which chipped, did my nails this time. The job was rushed and I had to ask my nail person to clean up the edges before leaving because he wanted to send me out with paint still on my skin around the nails on both hands. This poor service was already concerning. When I got to the cash register I showed them the $10 off text and they told me it was only for certain services so they wouldn't give me the discount, even though none of that was stated in the text. I asked them if they would send out these stipulations with their texts in the future because otherwise it's misleading. They told me no. I still paid them and tipped decently even though I honestly felt like giving them no tip with how bad the service was. This was more a reflection of me trying to bring my own emotions under control and be a better person, than any reflection of their service which was very poor. But I no longer plan to come to them in the future. The problem isn't just the service...it's the refusal to improve communication even after I've spoken with them about it and given them multiple chances to improve. Update: it's been less than 24 hours and my nails are already chipped again. The excuse is that it's regular polish. I've had my nails done with regular polish by other nail salons and it lasts more than a day. Making excuses for poor work and doing nothing to improve, is unacceptable in my opinion.
