This was my first time in a nail salon. It was nice to be pampered! The staff was very friendly and professional. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

It's time for a refill don't judge to harshly

Jewel S.

Great for refills and a simple colors however don't go there for designs or anything more artistic. But over all Evelyn it else was good

Claudia does an amazing job at ombre nails. The salon is also clean and cozy. Everything was great and I'm super satisfied with the experience.

My sister and I stopped by to get our nails done. Lam and ViVi were incredibly kind and helpful. We both got exactly what we wanted and will definitely be back again! :)

I have waited till after my second appointment here to write this review so it could be as genuine and real as possible. My first appointment was with Bella and I could not of been more pleased. She was super nice and welcoming! Although I only get a simple gel, she could not of been more detailed. She makes sure you are happy with you nails every step of the way. She was so amazing the first time, I booked her again two weeks later. Highly recommend this place!!

Just updating to say I've gone a few times now and this is definitely my new favorite spot. I have really thin skin around my nails, and this is one of the first places that is careful enough that I haven't gotten nicked anywhere around my cuticles!! Also my dip nails have lasted a month each time.

Pick Claudia guys! I had my nails done several times with 2 other technicians, and she's the best!

Worst "manicure" I have ever received. Asked for SNS manicure, and left with dried dip powder is all over my cuticles. Nails are lumpy, uneven, and bulky. Large portions of my nail bed are not even covered by dip powder. Repeatedly asked technician to file, reshape, fill in the gaps etc. however she continued rushing and doing and extraordinarily sloppy job. Shocked I would be allowed to leave the salon like this. I asked for, and received a refund, however can't get the wasted time back or the inconvenience of having to get them redone.

Scheduled an appointment for a manicure and pedicure for $50. They use OPI nail polish and all the colors were neatly organized in similar colors. The nail salon is very clean. I was able to pay with credit card and you can venmo your tip. I recommend making an appointment prior to your arrival. read more

I believe this place has changed hands a everyone there wore 'm studio' aprons and they bill you as 'm studio' as well. I had booked a service listed on their website and when I got to the appointment they said they did not offer that service at all (regular polish manicure). I had to ask a couple times for them to please just do regular polish, and they had a whole wall of just regular polishes to pick from but I was given what seemed like a 'one off' regular manicure which was a measly nail trim and paint. They text you a link to pay which I thought was odd as well. Also there was a massive dead bug and a leaf pile by the register. I do not think this is the same Zen Nail Lounge I used to go to. Not very relaxing and very cold, unfriendly staff on top of feeling like I was annoying them asking for regular polish of SNS or acrylic. read more

One of the worst manicures I have had in a long time. I got a dip manicure and press on nails would have looked better. It looks like the color was just thrown on my nails and there was no time or effort put into shaping them. Parts of the dip are thick and other parts are very thin and nearly see through. The sides and bottom at the cuticle are way too thick and not faded - I know they will grow out very poorly and look even worse. The staff was nice and the salon was well kept, but the service itself that I paid for is not worth returning. read more

I went in with healthy, medium length nails. After and letting them grow out, I have rings of fire on every nail. I'm too nervous to get them done elsewhere after this experience. I knew something was wrong when I felt severe burning under the LED lamp. I've since learned that my natural nails were filed down with too much pressure. I won't be going back, but when I was there the salon was full. Clearly my experience wasn't theirs, as they were likely returning clients. But I don't want anyone to experience what I did. Likely a technician skill issue - I think I just got unlucky. read more

My friend recommended this place, and I was really excited to book my appointment. However, my experience has been incredibly disappointing. On the day of my appointment, I was told that the nail tech I specifically requested wasn't in. No one called to inform me that my appointment had been canceled. I was reassured that the nail tech would be in the next day, and they rebooked me. I rearranged my other appointments to accommodate this, only to show up the next day and find out--again--that the nail tech wasn't there, with no prior warning. The manager was very rude and even tried to explain that, since I'm a new customer, my rating in their system is low. I guess that means they decided not to call me? To make matters worse, I was offered no apology for the repeated inconvenience, and when I arrived with my service dog, I was told not to bring her since she "might scare other customers." As someone who relies on a service dog, this comment was incredibly upsetting and discriminatory. This was such a frustrating and disheartening experience. The lack of professionalism and customer service here is unacceptable, and I will not be returning. read more

Have been going to Zen Nail Lounge for a few months now (six appts). This place is very clean and quiet. They play lounge music and it creates a nice vibe. The staff is friendly and professional. I've worked with several technicians and found them all to be top notch. I saw Claudia today and actually fell asleep two different times (warm water soak and massaging pedi chair helps). It was so relaxing and refreshing. As a male, it isn't always comfortable going into a nail salon. Zen Nail Lounge has always been welcoming. read more

I went to this Salon around the holidays because I wanted I wanted to treat myself. I asked for a pedicure and to clean up my nails with a manicure. Pedicure was ok - the water wasn't so hot and wish there was more of massage at the end.. overall it was decent . Another lady did my manicure and cleaned out my nails and them look good. She told me to try SNS one more time even though i didn't want it. I went ahead and tried SNS again again event thought i didn't want to get it, and the lady was nice enough to not charge me.. A week later my nails were cheaper a whole SNS part of my nail came off - my nails looked horrible for new years. I def won't get my manicure done anymore - waste of time money and my nails get so messed up. I am not happy!! read more

So kind, patient, understanding, and professional. She took her time and made sure I was completely satisfied with my treatment which I appreciated very much.

This was the BEST nail salon experience I've ever had. I made an appointment and showed up 5 minutes early but was greeted and seated immediately. The place is clean and pretty. I showed a picture of what I wanted and they even sampled it on my nail to make sure it was the color I wanted. The pedicure was amazing including a long scrub massage (loved that it was timed), followed by a lotion massage, and finishing off with warm towel. With my eyes closed and the massage chair going, I felt rejuvenated. The gel manicure was smooth and quick right after. I had Lan for both my pedicure & manicure and paid $75. Highly recommend and will be coming back. read more

I got a gel manicure here and the manicure did not last even three days before it chipped. I went back in to get it fixed, but then five days later, another nail chipped. So it hasn't even been two weeks and my manicure has chipped. I wouldn't pay the money for this place. Also, I am not certain of the cleanliness here. I didn't see them disinfect the foot basin for pedicures after a client was done, and also they didn't disinfect the bowel used to soak my nails. I saw her rinse the bowl and put it away. read more

Quick job of filing, barely a massage and no polish. She suggested that since I was not using nail polish she buff the nails for some shine, I agreed. I was there for merely 20 minutes and the cost was $48. When I questioned this, she said a buff was extra. I suggested it was in lieu of polish which is much more time consuming. At the same time a lady came in and simply asked for a file, did not even sit down, just had nail file over her nails and she was charged 10 for 10 seconds.

I also noticed my lashes got so much longer after I was doing these lifts for a year. Semra is amazing. She's always gentle with my lashes and takes amazing care to make sure they look good. I always leave satisfied with my lashes. My eyes are usually very sensitive as well. When I use to get regular lash lifts, my eyes would get irritated. But with the yumi lash lifts, my eyes aren't irritated. I think the chemicals are more gentle than regular lash lifts. Also I love the natural look of these lashes. They're so curly and long and just naturally pretty. I also got my brows done twice here. I usually don't get my brows done because I don't really care about my brows as much as I do my lashes lol, but Semra made my brows look really nice as well. I was impressed by how different I look with them shaped better. I will think about doing my brows more often here

TL;DR (long version in the photos)--I never write reviews of businesses, let alone small businesses…read morebut I am hoping that doing this will save someone else what I went through. I visited Semra's studio twice and she gave me a severe allergic reaction (Google PPD allergic reaction and HD Brows and BrowSculpt) that left me with severe hives on my face and extreme swelling of the eyes/ face for which I had to see three doctors and had to use six separate medications. It took me over a month to fully recover (I visited her salon Sept. 17, and am only now fully recovered as of late Oct.). After I told her about it, the only apology she gave me was "sorry to hear about it :(" I asked her for a refund and she refused, not even refunding me the tip or the cost of the service that caused the allergic reaction. On top of that, when I sent her the pictures, her reaction most generously could be understood as ignorance about a very common allergy that occurs due to the chemicals she uses in the line of work she's been in for ~30 years and at worst as accusing me of lying. She refused to take any accountability even when her actions seriously harmed a customer. I'll let you draw whatever conclusions you believe appropriate from my experience.

I booked a quickie 30-minute session right at Unwind's opening time, and Anna double-checked that I didn't need to finish by a specific time -- I work remotely, so no issues there, but I love the consideration. Our session never felt rushed, and it was the perfect length to address the specific sore spot I was dealing with on my back. It's difficult to find a massage-focused spot that offers 30-minute sessions in the first place, so the $70 (plus tip) was WELL worth it at Unwind!

But, I have this place in my back pocket now for all future relaxing moments. I was able to book an appointment online a few hours prior. I opted for a 60 min foot massage. Come to find out they are right nextdoor to my favorite bakery, Baked and Wired! I never noticed this in all the years. I walked in and the setting was peaceful. I filled out my forms online ahead time. That really sped up the check in process. Once checked in my tech came to get me. Once in the room my tech explained everything and talked about my needs etc. Listen he did an amazing job. If you can get me to relax enough to make it sound like I need a CPAP or if my "pain" goes away, you did a fantabulous job! T. Smith my tech, thank you I will return! My total with tip was just under $200. It was $75 for a 30 min foot massage and $75 for a reflexology foot massage. Well worth it all.

The staff was friendly and professional, making sure that I was comfortable throughout the service. The salon was clean, well-maintained, and provided a relaxing atmosphere. The manicure and pedicure I received were top-notch. The technicians were knowledgeable and skilled, ensuring that my nails looked fantastic. They took the time to listen to my preferences and gave me the exact look I expected. I was also impressed with the range of products and services offered at this salon. From the latest nail trends to a variety of spa treatments, there is something for everyone. I appreciated that the salon uses high-quality products, ensuring that my nails and skin are well taken care of. Overall, I had an excellent experience at Zen Nail Lounge, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area. I can't wait to book my next appointment for my daughter and her friends. read more

My person whom I love couldn't fit me in before my trip, so I wanted to find another place that specifically did Russian Manicures. What I received was a waterless manicure with gel polish in less than an hour. Russian Manicures for those who are unaware take two hours due to the technique that is used. This establishment shouldinnmy opinion remove the "Russian Dry Manicure" wording from their site. It's disingenuous. A dry manicure with gel that takes less than an hour and won't last four weeks isn't worth what I paid. As far as the vibe, it was so quiet in there I thought I was in a library and the salon lacks any memorability. The walls are stark white and the furniture blends in. I'm giving them the one star for their exceptional cleanliness but I won't be back.

They have a really fun range of color options -- everything from bold neons to soft neutrals, plus some fun glitters. Whether you're into something classic or want to try something new, they've got you covered. They did a great job with my pedicure and my gel manicure for an upcoming wedding. Bonus: They're offering 20% off a mani and pedi Monday through Thursday for the next week, which makes it the perfect time to treat yourself (or grab a friend and go together!)

But considering the fact that it has been weeks, and my toes are still sore, injured, and sensitive, I would not recommend this place. But do not come here. I don't recommend. I came in after seeing an ad online for a discount. It said it was under new management, so I thought I would give them a chance. This was clearly a mistake. I showed up for my 5:30 appointment and waited about 15 minutes before I was even seated at a pedicure station. And even then, I was just seated with some water. How they looked, they would've known I had fell on my toes and needed to be soaked off. But no one started doing that. In fact, nobody even started my pedicure until about 6:05 PM. But once it did start, it was OK in the beginning. She started soaking the gel off of my toes. However, she immediately started to use a nail file to buy the child off of my toes. While doing so, she was a bit reckless and was buffing skin off of my toes. I was flinching the whole time and even informed her of what she was doing. She just kept repeatedly saying sorry. I didn't realize how bad she had gotten me until I looked down, and saw a ton of blood around my cuticles, And saw her dump alcohol on them. It wasn't until I headed to the mail station where I got a closer look at my toes after she finished them and noticed how badly they had been painted. She didn't even pay the full nail and her layers were uneven AF. I immediately informed them that this was not OK. Rick looked and could see that there were issues and immediately offered to fix them. I also have to admit that he offered me a discount for my toes, and eventually fix them. But by that point, she had already done damage. Not only had she taken off a corner of my perfectly straight toenail, But she also really love so much skin that I now have bruises, scabs, and dark spots all around my toenails. Rick did a wonderful job on my hands for the most part. I got builder gel and he ended up doing a design. However, the good service he provided absolutely does not make up for how terrible my overall experience here was. I am so disappointed. I will never be back and I would not recommend. Finally, I want to add, that they are soliciting five star reviews on both yelp and Google in exchange for discounts and free services (designs, etc.) so beware when you are reading some of these more positive reviews across sites.
