    Left- the inspo photo, the nails I got.
    Chelsea M.

    I called ahead of time to make sure they are able to do dip nails, specifically dip ombré. Weeks ago I'd had my nails done in Seattle dip ombré clear to black for Halloween and dip is pretty much the only thing that stays on my nails well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I called they asked me if I could come now. I was able to get there quickly and I was greeted by a nice woman named Tiffany who sat me at someone else's station next to her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was evident my nail tech didn't have a good grasp on English.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried explaining what I wanted and showed my inspo photo. All I wanted was the same thing I had but clear to white instead of clear to black.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I showed her a photo and she got to buffing off my top coat at placing my hands in bowls of acetone. It started pretty normal, looked like a simple dip powder base. That's when things started going downhill. She got out a color that looked white and started dipping my nails in white fully for a couple coats. Then she pulled out an eyeshadow palette and asked which color...I'd never seen eyeshadow be used for these purposes and instead of a nice fluffy brush she was prepping a tightly packed makeup brush. I started to panic when she started dipping the brush into a whiteish shadow and dabbing it on the nails, when that didn't seem to make a difference she we went to grab a sponge and nail polish, she started sponging nail polish on with a tiny sponge (not making a difference) at that point I looked to Tiffany who was working on a girls nails next to me and told her I believe something had been lost in translation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I showed her my inspo photo and the way my nails looked and what was currently happening. She talked to her and said the girl was going to fix it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately the girl then started dabbing her brush in a yellowy brown color and dabbing it at the top of my nails (cuticle down) at that point she showed me how she had fixed it and I had to say no. I felt bad but it was bad looking. Again I interrupted Tiffany (sorry Tiffany) and showed her my inspo photo and my nails. I explained I had just wanted clear to white, I'd had that exact thing in a different color on the nails they just removed and I knew it could be done, I've had ombré dip many times before. They talked back and forth in what I can only assume is their native language and then the woman doing my nails started trying to claim what I wanted wasn't possible with dip and only with acrylics. It really frustrated me because she was gaslighting me instead of admitting something had gone wrong, she didn't have the experience and that she couldn't fix it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I got the nerve to say no to her and explained AGAIN what I'd asked for and pulled up more photos trying to make sure I was understood through Tiffany.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At that point Tiffany switched with her and tried to fix it. In the end it was better but nothing like I'd asked for. Instead of a nice clear to white ombré nails I had a color sprinkled at the top that looks yellowy brown and the white just looks odd too. I'm really bummed I spent the money and time on it, I appreciate Tiffany attempting to fix my nails technician's mistakes.... they gave me $5 off, it was late and they were going to close. I feel they should have offered for me to come back and have them redone. I got home and had little cuts all over my fingers from aggressive buffing and cuticle scissors. It's an odd experience as well because there would be women there who seemed like supervisors who would come and hover for quite awhile watching the technicians work (more than one). Also something I found quite odd/inconvenient was I was asked if I'd brought my own nail file and buffer. I have never been asked to bring these things, I've never been asked for that at any nail salon and I've visited nail salons across the US and in Europe. As I was leaving I was handed a snack sized ziplock bag with the nail file and buffer they used on me and asked me to bring it back next time to avoid having to pay for it again . As far as anything else it's in a strip mall, the interior looks somewhat rundown and seriously needs a new coat of paint, something lighter would probably brighten the place up and make it appear more modern.

    The conversation between the owner and myself.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]They lie and they treat customers poorly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No professionalism at all. I gave them multiple chances and the response the owner left me is unbelievable! The owner never said that someone else would use the chemicals. The owner Ashley said she couldn't because she is pregnant and never mentioned she would do the rest. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She lied and never stepped in when her nail tech Tiffany was being very rude to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do not care about the customer being unhappy and I gave them three chances.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The male nail tech was talking about the original nail techs work on my nails while he was supposed to be fixing mine. If the pregnant woman cannot be around the chemicals then she shouldn't be doing nails period. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm forever traumatized by this experience as I've gotten my nails done for over half my life and have never been treated this way![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] SAVE YOUR MONEY GO ANY WHERE ELSE.

    Had a great first experience here and can't wait to return! I've had bad luck with gel and acrylic so went in knowing I wanted to keep my real nails intact with regular polish but I still wanted nail art. They were so great about not pushing gel on me and were able to give me the nail design I was looking for. They will definitely be my go to spot

    New acrylics

    Kelly and Tracie were amazing! I got my acrylic nails done and they turned out fantastic, just how I wanted. They look so good I just love them. My mom got a pedicure and is left satisfied. I was offered to do an eyebrow wax and it came out great and for a cheap price too! As well as a discount for paying in cash. The service was great as always and my mom was offered a free mimosa which she enjoyed. Everyone was so kind and welcoming.

    All nails are like this at day 7.
    Ixta ..

    I came in with my best friend after she had a good experience with them the first time. I requested to get a fill, pink french tips. simple, right? No. They sat me down at #8 with the only guy working whilst all the women went and helped do my friends nails.. Now i'm not one to judge but holy cow. I'm not the pickiest person, but cmon.. When we were done my nails were lumpy, uneven, i had nicks or burns on EVERY finger. He would start the speed off with the drill calmly then after a nail or two he'd get impatient and turn the speed WAY too high. Even i knew it. He knew it was burning my finger because he'd squeeze it and smile at me. I'm not a confrontational person so even though i was in pain and i kept pulling my hand back hoping he'd stop, he didn't. The french tips were messy, uneven, thick and he barely spoke a word to me about it. I'm very very disappointed. There was a young girl who was pretty sweet and offered me a water so her services were fine. They did not care about the quality though, clearly. It has been exactly 7 days and the paint is already coming off as well as the acrylic is lifting from my nail.. we paid $120 in total, OH and they charged us $4 for the file THEY used on us. Absolutely ridiculous. I definitely do not recommend.

    My normal salon is closed on Sundays, so I went here to get my eyebrows done for New Year's Eve. I look really funny with small eyebrows, they just don't work with my face shape. So I asked her to literally just take off what was around the eyebrows just clean up the outsides of it. She took half of my eyebrows off... I look like a weirdo right now and I'm so upset. I never leave reviews, but this really upset me and I'm crying right now. If you don't want tiny lines for eyebrows, don't go here.

    I moved to the area at the beginning of 2023 and found this nail salon on instagram. I have been in 3 times and have LOVED every set theyve done! I usually want intricate complex designs and they have pulled them off no issue every time! I attached the most recent set they just did cause it is perfection!

    New set by Rossy!

    I have never been more satisfied with a Salon than I am with a Rex Nails in Spa Vancouver. I always feel like I am taken care of every time I walk through the doors. It is so nice to walk in and have everyone know your name and say hello. Rossy does an amazing job every time.

    Chrome coffin nails

    Amazing chrome nails done here in any color! I will always come here for a full set. They're amazing and so nice! Never a wait and they offer white or red wine !

    What I got and what I asked for

    They are amazing. Very kind. Did an amazing job exactly what I asked for. I'm so glad y hat's I found an amazing place

I had my first one when I was 39 weeks-ginormously-pregnant-which means I couldn't even hardly do anything to prepare for what I thought would be debilitating pain. Well, boy o boy was I surprised. What a positive experience! I assumed that it would be awkward for all parties but it was super cool. Very professional but also laid back and easy to chit chat and make the time go by. It is fast and the pain is not bad (and I am a notorious wuss). Most importantly the results were awesome. I will never go back to my previous hair status knowing what I know now. I have been going here about once a month-ish for over a year. I have had a wax done by everyone. Valerie is my regular but if I am in a pinch for scheduling I go with any of the other gals. I have experienced great results by each. I tell anyone who is interested in this service about this place because I truly think it is the best around. One last thing--the finipil is really great. I always use it and never get the undesired but sometimes common after effects.

I didn't even know all the right hair terms to describe the look I was going for, but somehow he completely understood me and absolutely nailed it. I wanted long layers, movement, volume, curtain bangs, and a style that would still look good on lazy days when I just wear it naturally curly. Chip worked his magic and made it all happen. My hair feels light, bouncy, and easy to style while still looking polished. I'm so happy with the result and will definitely be coming back to get some color done!

    If I could give Maxine 100 out of 10 I would! I found her using Yelp and based on all the great…read morereviews, I decided to book an appointment with her. Every interaction that I had with her from the very beginning when I called to talk with her about what I needed with my hair was handled super professionally and in a friendly way. She was fantastic at the consultation part before we got started, and really listened to all of my concerns because I was having some issues with breakage and I've been trying to resolve this problem for six months. I needed some color help and also have gray roots, so it was fantastic she was able to help me. I know this is gonna be a process since my hair is longer and needs to grow out to take care of some of the damage that's already there, but I feel really great about the plan that we put together. I went ahead and put a reminder in my calendar to book an appointment with her in three months so that I can get my split ends trimmed on a regular basis. I'm already looking forward to going back!
