Allow me to start this post by stating that I am not new to eyelash extensions. I used to have them…read moredone every two weeks by my lash artist in Columbia, SC. I had to stop utilizing their services once I moved to the Southern Pines area, so I allowed my eyelashes to rest for a few months while I found a new esthetician. I booked a full volume set with Lexi. She was pleasant and friendly, which made me feel comfortable-- unfortunately that is the only positive thing that I can say about this experience. After discussing how I wanted to achieve a cat eye look with medium volume, Lexi began to work on my eyelashes. Two hours later, I notice that my left eye continues to water and tear up. It hurt so bad. Lexi had placed the glue too close to my lash line on an eyelash that she admitted was far too small to hold the weight of an extension. She then said that the watering of my eye may compromise the longevity of that set. I said "no, biggie, I understand", paid, and walked out. My left eye still hurt so bad. It wasn't until I got in my car and took a good look at the eyelashes that I realized that that lash was going to have to come out. Moreover, the lashes on my left eye were completely falling apart and drooping under their own weight. I went back inside and told Lexi about the problem. She was already with her next client, told me to rebook for the next day so she could fix it and removed the troubling eyelash. At this point, I'm in too much pain to ask for any other compensation and I just wanted to leave. Once I got back in my car, I realized that the lashes were drooping so far down that it was making it difficult for me to see. Unless I wanted to walk home, there was no way for me to leave since I drove myself. I knock on the door once more, Lexi lets me in and reluctantly removes my entire set. She put the remover on my eyelashes, left me with a fan to cope with the burning sensation and continued to service her next client in the other room. I felt terrible. She comes back, removes the lash extensions but neglects to remove the clumps of glue that were left on my natural eyelashes. I drove home, took a long hot shower, and my eyes began to burn again. I rubbed them and rubbed them because they felt like they were stuck together until the eyelashes began to fall out. My left eye is missing so many eyelashes now and it will take weeks for them to grow back. I honestly sobbed because I knew I was gonna get engaged over Christmas and my left eye was pretty bald now. There was snot and tears everywhere. It was not pretty. It was hurtful and I took a big hit to my confidence because of it. I decided to email the salon and let them know what happened to ask for a refund. I provided the pictures below as proof that something had gone really wrong during my experience and received a call from the owner about a half hour later. Up until this point, I would never have thought to write a poor review on a small business. I prioritize supporting local. However, the owner's response left me absolutely gutted. I did my best to put my big girl pants on and calmly explain what happened. She responded with saying that my story was not possible. She also stated that "she's been doing this for 30 years and has never seen anything like it". I didn't appreciate being gaslit into doubting whether my awful experience at the salon was real or not. Again, it was so hurtful. She said she would call me back after she talked to Lexi, but she never did. She also said she would reimburse me for the services, but she never did. It took me going to my bank and disputing the charges for me to get my money back. If I could give this business -10/10 stars, I would. People come to beauty salons to have their confidence boosted and leave feeling powerful. Instead, I left with a patchy left eye and a heart full of hurt. Save yourself the trouble and go someplace that won't make you look or feel this way. For the salon, if you feel like finally giving me that call back you promised, you have my phone number. Maria

I was told to get up and move over to the manicure area while the hot towels were still wrapped around my legs. As I was walking, the towels came loose and fell onto my feet. The guy cleaned the lotion off my legs while I was standing. My toenails weren't even properly shaped, and I had to go back and ask them to fix one of my toenails. I also repeatedly said that I wanted regular polish, but I was continuously pushed to get gel polish on my toenails even after I had made my choice clear. Overall, I left feeling rushed and like the focus was on getting me through the service rather than providing a relaxing, thorough pedicure. I just expected better service for what I paid. Update: not even 24 hours and finger nails have chipped. I asked for gel on my finger nails and looks like they used regular finger nail polish.

This was my second time at this salon. The first time I had a good experience and wanted to make…read morethis my regular spot. While my pedicure was great (minus a few moment of the hot stones being pressed in a little too much and being too hot), my manicure was bad. I asked for a design and if it was feasible for the guy doing my nails. He shook his head no, and I said: "No worries, I understand folks have different skills, I'll pick a simpler design." He then said that the design was easy but it's was "ugly" and I shouldn't get that. This is where I should've left, but I brushed off the comment and asked for a flower design (see pic with daisy-like flowers). He said he could do that and suggested doing an ombre, showing me an example that was heavy white with minimal pink. I said yes and we limited the flower design to one nail. The flowers came out with fat petals, looking nothing like the picture. The ombré was pink heavy and I had to ask him to change the pink since the first was BRIGHT pink and not natural looking. To top it off he filed my skin off (see pics of the cuts) on multiple fingers despite my hand jerking away. I may come back for a pedicure, but never for a manicure again. My hands still hurt after several hours.

The third and final time I went, with the appointment time of which he gave me, he said he over booked and could not do my nails once again. No alternative time was suggested. When I called to complain, my call was never returned. This is something I would not ever expect since I have been one of his loyal customers for years. Very disappointed!

From the moment we arrived the space felt warm, welcoming, and impeccably curated; it's clear Angela and her team have created something very special in Southern Pines. My appointment included a haircut, scalp treatment, facial, full-body massage, leg + Brazilian wax, manicure, and pedicure. Kaitlyn thoughtfully crafted a customized package that met everything I'd been dreaming about -- exactly the kind of attentive planning you want in a full-service spa. Erin, Destiny, Giselle, Brianna, Kelly, and Angela were gentle, skilled, and professional at every step. The scalp treatment and facial were deeply relaxing and noticeably restorative; my hair, skin, and posture felt visibly improved after the massage. The waxing and nail services were meticulous and comfortable -- no corners cut, just care. Beyond the excellent technical work, what moved me most was the atmosphere of true hospitality: staff treated me like family while honoring my privacy and comfort. I'd been feeling hidden away and less like myself lately, and the team at Karma helped me reclaim my confidence and my stride. If you're in the Sandhills and need a place to recharge, I can't recommend Karma enough -- book ahead (they're popular for a reason) and treat yourself. I left glowing and grateful.
