    The wax itself was great and the gal that did it was very nice and made it a great experience. However, my card was charged twice and when I called to try and fix the issue the manager gave me no help and was extremely rude on the phone. Now I am out $55 and and received no help trying to fix the issue.

    I've been burned literally in the past by eyebrow waxers. Went to threading and was also disappointed with inconsistenty. I found someone in Louisville but need someone here in Lexington. I saw Facebook ads for this location and heard they followed say business model as European Wax Centers/EWC (I've been to VA & FL locations & loved them). I tried to walk in hoping for an appointment. A lady met me a door following Covid protocols. Informed me they're not doing walk-ins but graciously offered to check for me. Thankfully there was an opening & by the time I did paperwork my tech Makayla came out to get me. I was rushing to get pics for review but she seemed impatient & I didn't want to be a rude walk-in...my eyebrows were in desperate need of attention. Setup is very similar to EWC. I tried to make small talk with tech telling her about my past bad experiences. She was not engaging at all. As our first time together I expected her to get some feedback on what I prefer/like...she didn't talk to me at all. Nor did she talk about steps or product she was using on me. Wax at times was a little to warm. She used multiple unknown products. She trimmed, waxed, & tweezed. At the end she handed me a mirror & asked for feedback. My eyes were watery & I was red (which is typical). I said work was fine and she escorted me to front...that was it. Receptionist was a lot friendlier but I declined to book another. She said I got a 20% off service as a first time customer. I still paid right under $25 with a 15% tip (service is service). But my brows were not even, arches not consistent with one another. Two other friends pointed out the same issues. I'm sure there are better techs, I'll have to research but I definitely don't want Makayla again. No one pushed products so that saved me money.

    Does this location charge a "fat fee"? Generally do they have plus size customers? I'd rather not be fat shamed.

    I go here for my eyebrows and Brazilian. I'm 5'2 and weighed about 225 when I started going and I was never charged more than the menu price!… Read more

    Let's face it- the past year and all the quarantining has been difficult on us all. Especially our…read morehair. My hair was in serious need of some major professional TLC -- alas, I had not established a new stylist since the last shop closed up. So what's a girl to do? Well, I went looking and found Hair Nation on Tiverton in Lexington, KY. From my initial phone call with Courtney, until I walked out the door well coiffed, the service was phenomenal. Many of what might be termed "upscale" salons can be pretentious. Many of the friendliest places tend to not be cutting edge. Hair Nation is a perfect blend of the two - which is exactly what you want. High end hair care and styles with personable folks staff who listen to you. The ease of making an appointment and the welcoming way you are greeted by Courtney, makes a diva feel pampered, as she should be. Little chocolate covered grapes are yours for the indulging and you are immediately offered complimentary coffee, tea, or water. Social distancing and cleaning are in place and soon you are whisked away for your private consult with your stylist. I was fortunate enough to get Stephanie's chair for this, my first visit. How glad I did. Stephanie asked questions, listened, and provided exactly what my quarantine hair needed. The products she suggested were the ones I were going to ask about myself. She suggested but was never pushy about products She gave me a stellar haircut and took time to style it meticulously. There are lots of good reasons to go to Hair Nation, but Stephanie and Courtney , might just be the best two reasons for making an appointment. Heavy metal rocks the front of the house while you wait for your stylist, while zen-like tranquility is yours at the wash station. Prices were very reasonable and service was extraordinary. And in just a while I walked out of the salon feeling like a million bucks while spending nowhere near that. I highly recommend you give them a try. I don't think you'll be sorry you did. Tell Courtney Geneva sent you. P.S. Did I mention they have wine?

Viktoriya was my stylist & although we weren't able to get the red out of my hair she did a great job at making me feel comfortable with how I left & barely charged me for anything she did today. I will be back in a couple days to try to get the rest of the red out. I highly recommend hair nation & viktoriya as a stylist. Update: I went back today to finish getting rid of my red hair & it went fantastic! I am in love with my new hair!

My sister and I went in and were the first ones in line without an appointment for the day. There were about 6 people in appointments line and about 8 behind us. We were the last ones to be seated. Again, everyone working is nice but you do not get the same service or even close. The lady doing my pedicure didn't do a good job on my cuticles at all. It was almost like they are in a competition to see who can finish first. We got the signature pedicure and were one of the first ones finished after being the last to be seated. This gets old and people get tired of returning to get that service. Technically it should take about 10 minutes to do cuticles when done right and that's minimum. Mine was finished in about 45 seconds on both feet. All the workers stand and wait for a tip after they have run you through like cattle. The way I see it if you cut my service to rush never expect a tip. The owner can give you a tip out the of service money. This is a very convenient place and I have been loyal but someone else may need to open up a salon in this area to complete.

I've used Anne's "services" for about a year now. When I first started going to see her, she was located in a nearby spa/salon. I like this location much better. Anne is a nurse and is very professional. She is originally from California and is a Yelper herself. The first time that I went to see her I had a lot of questions and I was quite nervous. I think that she spent about an hour explaining the process and the expected results. She also does laser hair removal and I think that the price is the most reasonable in town. There is another lady at this location, her name is Susan, she does the spray tans, facials and more of the spa end of the business. I've never used her services, but my friend raves about her... so she's definitely on my radar. If you're thinking about starting what I call maintenance, this place is the best of the best.

She is a nurse and offers lots of information and advice for before and after the service. I had been to 5 other places that offered laser hair removal. This location was the first that offered me numbing cream and ice during the treatment. She also has the best laser hair removal equipment on the market. I didn't know that some of the lasers were created for facials and other treatments. I have had more success at hair reduction/elimination at this clinic than the others. I would highly recommend J Medical above all others in Lexington.
