    What I asked for

    I decided to walk in last minute because I wanted to get my nails done before my Europe trip. Nina was my nail technician. From the beginning, I was very clear about what I wanted: short nails. I showed her a picture and repeatedly explained that I wanted them to be very short, just like the picture. Because I know things can sometimes get lost in translation, I made sure to clarify the length probably five times. It became clear that Nina did not want to make them that short because, according to her, it would affect the coffin shape. The problem is, I never asked for coffin-shaped nails. I asked for what was shown in the picture, and I will be attaching that picture along with photos of the final result so people can judge for themselves. After I continued explaining what I wanted, the atmosphere became very uncomfortable. I could tell she was frustrated, and unfortunately, I experienced the same aggressive handling of my hands that other reviewers have mentioned in their negative reviews. The final shape was HORRIBLE. Several nails were visibly lopsided, and I had to repeatedly point out individual nails that needed to be fixed. At the end, Nina told me, "You are not easy." While doing them she also didn't compared they were all the same length. Which they are not! Not easy because I was asking for the service I was paying for to be done correctly? I paid $60 for a set that, based on the quality of the work, should have been closer to $30. What makes this even more frustrating is that just 12 days before my visit, another customer left a review specifically stating that Nina did not know how to shape nails. If the same issue has already been brought to management's attention, why is she still being allowed to perform services involving shaping without addressing the problem? To the owner: customers should not have to find out after paying that a technician may not be capable of performing the service they requested. If a technician has limitations with certain shapes, lengths, or techniques, customers should be informed beforehand. I also want to address what happened when I called the salon this morning at 9:31 AM. Jen/Jan answered, and after I explained my experience, her response was essentially, "Why didn't you say you were unhappy before paying?" Really? Was I supposed to stand there in front of everyone and announce that the technician had done a horrible job? Customers should not be made to feel uncomfortable for expressing dissatisfaction. And based on some of the other negative reviews, it seems like customers have experienced uncomfortable reactions after speaking up. A language barrier should never be used as a reason to dismiss a customer's concerns. Customers understand more than you may think they do. I specifically asked to speak with a manager. I was told the manager was busy and would call me when she had a chance. Jen/Jan later called me back and said I could come in to have my nails fixed. I again asked to speak with the manager, and I was told she was busy and would call me when she had a chance. It is now 3:37 PM, and I still have not heard from a manager. For that reason, I will not be returning to the salon to have my nails "fixed" until I have spoken directly with a manager or the owner. I will also be attaching screenshots of both calls for context. I have noticed that the owner responds to negative reviews with sympathy but does not offer to make things right. I appreciate that, but a sympathetic response is not enough when a customer has spent $60 on a service they are unhappy with. Customers spend their hard-earned money expecting a professional result and respectful treatment. This is also not the first negative review regarding Nina and shaping. I will be posting photos of my nails so that anyone considering booking with her can see the result for themselves. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the concerns rather than simply offering to redo the service. At this point, I want accountability and an explanation for why a previously reported issue appears to still be happening.

    This place is literally just as amazing as it was a couple of years ago. I'm so glad I went back. They're extremely accommodating and their new expansion that happened is just amazing. I love all of the snacks that they offer. I had Christine today do my nails, and she was wonderful and engaging. She made my nails look just beautiful. I really love this salon, so glad it's still around for me after I moved back. I went to another salon a couple of weeks ago and then all I could think about was how I just wish I had gone to Peacock instead. I've already booked my next appointment and I'm looking forward to it. Also, their massage chairs are awesome! They offer you a free drink with your service too.

    My nail technicians were Harry and Jennifer and they were so kind and helpful. Harry did my beauty gel manicure and was very detailed oriented, while Jennifer did my gel pedicure and gave me the best foot massage. I highly recommend them both if you come here!!

    Everyone is always so friendly. Linn did my pedicure. She definitely took her time and I love the way my toes came out. Logan worked on my fill and I told him to surprise me and he did not disappoint. I love my nails!

    One of the lady smashed two of my fingers, didn't apologize and acted like it wasn't a big thing an in return just got $5.00 off, could have been something better. So disappointed

    ***Update after the owners comment** Of course he does not take full accountability for his salon who I see people have been saying is looking less clean! Thank you, but I have already seeked medical attention for this and confirmed I am dealing with a fungus. For the last 25 years I've been getting acrylic I have NEVER had this issue, I am very aware of nail care and this is a sanitation issue! Please do not comment back with chat GPT unless you take accountability! The ambiance is really nice, and they offer snacks along with drinks and wine, which is a great touch. My first visit was a great experience. Unfortunately, during my second visit for a fill-in, I ended up with a fungal issue under my nail. This raised concerns for me about sanitation practices, as everything appears very clean on the surface. I hope this is something they address moving forward especially for the price they charge!

    Wonderful relaxing and therapeutic massage from Michelle. Loosened up tight low back and calf…read moremuscles. Made me wonder why I waited three years between massage treatments. Highly recommended. My wife had an equally excellent massage from Arwin.

    I'm a ClassPass client nearing my monthly renewal, and this experience made my decision for me…read more Due to a death in my immediate family, I had to leave the state unexpectedly. Rather than lose 40 credits (~$80), I booked a facial for my wife. Yes, ClassPass credits are typically non-transferable--but this was an obvious situation where a little basic human judgment should have applied. My wife showed up, explained everything, and was turned away--despite the appointment being on their books. They refused the service and still kept the credits. No service rendered, no flexibility offered, no attempt to do the right thing. That tells me everything I need to know. This is a business that values squeezing $80 out of a customer over showing even minimal decency. Short-sighted, tone-deaf, and not the kind of people I'll ever do business with again. Enjoy the $80. Karma has a way of keeping score. Follow-Up: I received a response from the owner attempting to justify what happened, but it completely missed the facts. This wasn't a case of someone trying to misuse credentials in a typical sense--it was a one-on-one appointment that was already booked, paid for with credits, and ultimately went unused. My wife showed up, explained the situation clearly, and was still turned away. No service was provided, yet the credits were kept. Comparing this to standard "no sharing accounts" policies is a weak and inaccurate analogy. This situation called for basic judgment and a small amount of flexibility--neither of which was shown. The owner's response only reinforces my original impression: this business is more focused on rigid policies and protecting a minor dollar amount than on treating people reasonably, even under exceptional circumstances. That tells me everything I need to know

She took the time to really explain everything to a newbie like me and was super invested in giving my skin personalized TLC.

She's also super sweet and gifted me with some of her products to try for myself. It's been two days since I've had them and so far I am LOVING how natural yes nourishing her toner and facial oil is. I am definitely going to go back to her for more facials--I can't express in better words how great her service is and how knowledgable of an esthetician she is.

I have to say, I'm fully convinced this is my new forever sun screen.
