This place is an upgraded chop shop…read more The services for me & my husband were booked as a Deluxe Pedicure & a Classic Muanicure with a gel polish for me. Typically this should take one hour for each individual service for a total of 2 hours. Total service time for both services at this "spa": 1 hour which includes a brief restroom break for me during my manicure because I had to stop in the middle since I was so frustrated. First off, the place is filthy and unsanitary. What I witnessed was hugely disturbing. * Pedicure chair foot rest was dirty & the small table where tools & lotions were placed throughout our service was filthy & not cleaned between clients. * Tech placed some sort of filter for the pedicure water tub while we were seated & then removed to place on the same table with the tools & lotions that were being on us. * Tools used for my pedi while in an autoclave sleeve were not unsealed in front of me & the sleeve was actually not sealed. I didn't see my husband's tools. I'm hesitant to say if they were actually sanitized for each client. * After the pedi, the cuticle clippers were slipped inside the autoclave sleeve after a brief wipe with some sort of solution & a cotton square. Cuticle pusher & nail clippers were not cleaned but also placed inside the sleeve which had never been sealed and processed. It was more used as a tote for the tools. * Drill was used on natural nail beds-both hands and feet-in an effort to first remove cuticle & across the entire nail bed! No buffer nor cuticle pusher was used and most importantly NO cuticle remover was used to soften the cuticle before removal.. Basically the approach is to remove dry skin via the drill! * The drill itself was filthy covered in nail dust from prior clients. * Both me & my husband experienced cuticle cuts on toes and hands by sloppy work. These were treated with an antiseptic in a dropper which thankfully didn't come in contact with us! No comment made by techs when this occurred. We came home to apply some Neosporin. * Nail files & buffers were not single use and had been used on other clients prior to us. * Some sort of cheese grater device used for callus removal on feet which wasn't sanitized. It was within a plastic tote which was sitting between me and a stranger at the pedi station. Used on my feet & returned to the tote without any sort of cleaning which also had a bunch of tools & other things Inside. My husband experienced the same mysterious grater type device removed from a different tote which also wasn't sanitized. * Towels used throughout servics were threadbare, stained and edges unraveling. Pedicure took less than 30 minutes & I'd estimate our feet were in the water no longer than 10 minutes via dipping in and out vs. a static soak which is impossible to soften cuticles and calluses. By the time we transitioned to the mani station I was ready to walk out. I had existing gel polish which needed to be removed and was lifting. I stated that at the beginning of the services in the pedi area. This was not soaked during the pedi. At the mani station, the first attempt to remove was grinding with the drill. When I objected, the nail tech chose to use his own bare fingernail to attempt to lift the remaining polish & then tried to grind off with the drill what was left. I pulled back several times when this was attempted since I haven't used a drill to ever remove gel polish & know this was damaging my nail beds.I then requested specifically to soak with acetone which typically takes 20 minutes. The tech did accommodate however the acetone was on maybe 5 minutes so it didn't come off as easy as a required 15-20 minute soak which should have been performed during my pedi. All buffing etc. was still performed with the drill. I requested to take a break to go to the restroom during my manicure & returned to request a change to just a file and buff of my natural nails because I was so hugely disappointed in the service & cleanliness. The tech was nice about it since he could tell I was visibly upset. The use of drills on natural nails is a clear indicator the techs are lazy & focused more on speed of service & most importantly this damages your client's nails! Services stated in the menu that weren't received for our pedis: no neck wrap, no warm eye mask, minimal time in the water, & massage was maybe 5 minutes. My manicure took maybe 15-20 minutes since I cut it short to walk out with just bare nails after all this nonsense. My husband & I get mani/pedis every two weeks for the last 20 years & have recently relocated from DC. Yes our bar is high for service; but I won't compromise on cleanliness & sanitation. The prices at this business are outrageous for the service & the cleanliness & sanitation need to be addressed immediately. If I could give this place a zero rating I would. We won't be returning & I'll let everyone know who asks that I don't trust their sanitation practices.

I was very clear about the style I wanted…read morewhich were nice, defined, intentional curls that looked like I had actually styled my hair that way every day. I specifically did NOT want a natural, messy, wavy look as I already naturally had that. I was told they could do what I was asking for, so I trusted them. Amanda did my perm, and the result was nothing like what I asked for. Instead of defined, intentional curls, my hair was left with uneven, messy waviness that honestly looked half done. What made it even more frustrating was that when she finished, she said, "It looks so natural!" That was literally the opposite of what I had asked for. It looked worse than my actual natural hair, except now I was stuck with it because it was chemically permed. I completed their survey afterward and submitted a complaint explaining how unhappy I was with the service and the result. I never heard a single thing from management or the owners. No attempt to address the situation, no follow-up, nothing. If a salon tells you they can achieve a specific perm style, you should be able to trust that they actually understand what you're asking for before permanently altering your hair. I would not risk getting a perm here, especially if you want a specific curl pattern or polished look.

I had been going to this salon Selbyville location because it was close to my house, but unfortunately, my experiences with nail tech Anara were constantly disappointing. My gel nails were often uneven, bumpy and wavy. I gave polite feedback so she could fix them next time, but the quality didn't improve much. After only 3 visits, I booked another appointment with a different nail tech and next day it got cancelled and the salon blocked me from booking and left a voicemail saying I was "not a match" for them. Shockingly Anara also texted me stating that the "quality here is low and they can't meet my expectations". Additionally I just found out that a friand of mine had her nails done by Anara 4 months ago and developed an infection after her cuticles were cut improperly. And now my sister who also went here, has decided to stop. If you care about quality work, safety and respectful service, look elsewhere.

The online booking system is convenient, but multiple times I scheduled appointments specifically with Mike (who is great!), only to arrive and be assigned to someone else. On top of that, my gel nails began peeling and cracking within a week when another tech did them, which should not happen with quality work. To avoid further issues, I booked my appointment days in advance and only with Mike as selected tech and even called the morning of to confirm both the time and that Mike would be available. Despite doing everything correctly on my end, I arrived 7 mins early for my 4:45 appointment only to find the salon already behind schedule with walk-ins. I was then told Mike would not be available until 5:30 -- 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. The owner, Ivy, eventually called me back 5 mins later and suggested I return later or have another technician come from their Millville location. Unfortunately, after already leaving work early and driving there, that was not a realistic solution. I understand that unexpected delays happen, but repeatedly prioritizing walk-ins over scheduled appointments is frustrating and unprofessional. The inconsistency in both customer service and nail quality has made it difficult for me to continue supporting this salon.

The staff was polite, but unfortunately, the service didn't meet my expectations. There were only two technicians working on four customers , my husband MIL,SIL and myself, so the appointments felt rushed. My pedicure wasn't very thorough even for others the soles of our feet were barely scrubbed, leaving rough areas that I expected would be smoothed out. My husband also noticed several hanging pieces of dead skin around his nails that weren't trimmed or cleaned up, making the finished pedicure look incomplete. The technician happily did it again. I understand they were busy, but I would have preferred more attention to detail, especially for the price of $370 which doesn't even include tip, I expected a bit better experience. With more time spent on each customer, this salon has the potential to provide a much better experience because the cleanliness and atmosphere are already there. Just wished they were more thorough and more techs.
