There is a great selection of both gel and regular nail polishes that line the wall. The best feature that stood out to me was that the nail tables have built in UV lights. This is super convenient to just stick your hand under the table to set your nails; no more clunky, plug-in UV lights or fans! Service: equally as great. Even though the salon was busy when I went around Friday 12PM, there were enough technicians to quickly cater to all customers. My technician in particular was soft spoken but definitely knew what she was doing. She worked quickly and precisely on my full set of gel nails. My total came out to about $35 which is a decent price for what I got. At the end of the manicure I also received a cute stamp card that rewards based on amount spent! This is the first time I've seen a nail salon do this and it definitely persuades me to come back here again and again.

Let's start with the only reason this was the place I ended up getting my nails done, it was a…read moreSunday and a holiday weekend. My normal spot is closed on Sundays ( I didn't know I usually go during the week). So I read some reviews and by the time I was on my 4th salon, I finally found one that was open. I called soon after they opened, told them I needed a mani, pedi- for my wedding. Told the guy working on my pedicure a few times it was for my wedding. Let's start with the good. They have TONS of colors. Although not all of the colors are sampled.. so you really have to go with the color on the bottle and hope that's the actual color you want. Also I was offered a drink (water, soda, or wine) I choose wine, which was a sweet white. Now for the bad. My appointment started about 15 mins late, slightly annoying but not that big of a deal. The water started an ok temperature but I was left sitting for so long it was cold by the time my pedicure got started. Then the guy literally scrubbed my skin right off.. on the side of my foot where I don't have ANYtype of callus (see picture) he also did that to the bottle of one of my toes. Then there is a toe that isn't glossy and looks faded. So we move up to get my nails done. I really wish I had a picture of what he originally did. I showed him a picture and said I wanted my nails to look exactly like the picture. Size, shape, color.. everything. So he starts to shape my nails.. now mind you I have very short natural nails.. and none are really the same length. So he's shaping them and I remind him that I want them to look just like the picture. The length too. Then he said "oh that needs tip" I said that's fine. Then he got up walked to another nail tech and then they both turn to me. The other ones waves me over.. so I get up and go to his station. I show him my picture and he says " oh I thought you wanted a manicure". I said I guess I didn't know what it was called but that I wanted my nails to look just like the picture. Then he did my nails in like 15 mins. The sloppiest I've ever gotten them done. They are a consistent shape, they are alllll too long and much longer then the image and not the same color I showed- these have like a hot pink hue I wanted like a baby blue (see image) At this point I had been at the nail salon for over 2 hours and really wasn't happy with any of the work. Then I found out that my total was $150. Never got a breakdown. Oh and did I mention they also made me bleed in 3 places of my cuticles. I can't believe these will be the nails I have for my wedding. I can only hope I save someone else from spending their money here.

I figured that the off-putting "greeting" was probably due to a language barrier, but little did I know it would get much worse. So the pedicure itself was okay, my nails look alright, but it was very brief considering what it costed. The tech who did it seemed like she was racing to finish even though there was only one other customer there. She didn't even let my feet soak for more than a few minutes, didn't ask me what shape I wanted my nails in or if I wanted them cut, she barely filed them, it was a mad rush. They even rushed me to pick a color. It was so bizarre! The woman who was at the door was snippy, pushy and even tried to tell me what color to get-unbelievable! Terrible Presentation: When I walked to the back where the pedicure chairs are, I immediately saw junk on the floor, boxes-some opened, some unopened. And boy was I sorry when I had to use the bathroom which they also use as a storage closet-it had more dusty boxes, junk, vacuum cleaners, etc. I'm sorry that I spent any of what was supposed to be a relaxing afternoon in this place. This is the first time I've ever had to write such a negative review but they earned it!

The blue thing is wet. All she did with the blue thing is rubbed the side of my big toe and rubbed it in the water and put it in the drawer. I do not recommend this salon to anyone because I feel like they treat people differently if you don't look the part , if you get what I mean and it's not my first experience my daughter had the same experience when she went, but I watched them do other people's feet differently. It took her every bit of 5 minutes to Complete the manicuring of my toes. when I told her she did not touch my heels in the bottom of my foot. She said she did when I know if you touched them. She should not have argued with me. She just should have did the service that I requested which was a pedicure which is what I did not get. I still paid them the $40 and left, but that's the last $40 he will ever get from me. Horrible and unprofessional!

My youngest wanted bright colors and the hair I brought from Amazon evidently was no good. They have a hair store attached so they're able to supply a variety. They were able to provide something she loved included in my price. They are honest about pricing. And their professional opinion on what will work. They always have someone available when I arrive to begin immediately, and somehow it takes less time than most other braiding places. There is a wonderful energy of community among the stylists and their accommodating to needs: sharing phone, chargers, and being more delicate with my sensitive hair child. No shop can get everything right all of the time, but we are pleased with our experience each time. Tess African Braid Salon, you've got my recommendation.

I've probably tried a dozen or so places that could never achieve what I wanted even though they all said they could. Then I found this place and my hope has been restored in hair humanity. First, their receptionists are customer service experts. They listen, genuinely care and matched me to the perfect stylist, Eva. Janice and Vicki, I think you are rockstars and deserve bonuses. Totally made me feel welcome and special. Second, the salon is clean, chic and has a great vibe. The 14 women working there work really well together. At some places you can pick up on the cattiness. Not here. The vibe is serene and they all work like they actually like each other. Professionalism on fleek. Third, they carry great products like Unite, one of my favorite Carlsbad companies. And lastly, Eva was a rockstar. I presented hair that really need a champ and she delivered impeccable results that I'm loving. She was super friendly and easy to talk to. Her back up profession should be a therapist because after talking to her I felt a lot less weight off my shoulders and left feeling pretty again. Admittedly I was scared I'd still see the red the other place left me with. But Eva totally made me feel relaxed and I took the leap to trust her skills and am so glad I did. She's an amazing person and I'm glad to of found my hair professional. Oh the places we will go girlfriend. Great experience. Try them, you will thank me later!
