I honestly don’t even know where to begin. I came in asking for a polished look for an event I was speaking at later that day. I have naturally curly long fine hair. We discussed soft curls, but the few curls she set did not hold at all. I also question whether any proper styling products were used to actually set the hair. The stylist told me my ends looked good and that I didn’t need a haircut, so no cut was done. The style itself was very odd—a small, fanned-out ponytail at the top that looked nothing like what I expected—and it took an hour and a half to complete. I specifically asked her to use spray to manage noticeable flyaways, but very little was done to address them. When I got home and checked with a three-way mirror, I saw visible, harsh part lines in the back that I had to fix myself. Overall, it looked unfinished and not at all polished. The manicure was just as disappointing. My hands were not soaked or moisturized, and I wasn’t even asked to wash them. There was very little cuticle care and no attention to under-nail cleaning—just a very basic, rushed service. I was reviewing two speeches for later that day during the appointment and regret not paying closer attention to what was being done. For over $100, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. I didn’t have time to ask for corrections, but I definitely won’t be returning.

I scheduled a gel nail service and arrived with gel x nail extensions on. I advised Hannah, I believe her name was, exactly what the product was that I had on already. She never mentioned any hesitation about the removal process. She began soaking my nails off, without filing or anything. Just put them straight in acetone. Of course, that did nothing. She was advised by a coworker to file or drill them off & then soak. Which she borrowed a drill from a coworker. She continued to soak, drill, file, or even pick off my nails with her own fingernails, which I found repulsive. I was there for over an hour when I heard her and her coworker speaking negatively about how I booked the wrong service, to charge me extra, etc. If she wasn’t comfortable removing the nails I had on or if I had booked the wrong service, then she should have told me that when I sat down and told her what I had on my nails, not an hour into the service when my nails were still on. I ended up walking out, paying for a removal & leaving. I have never had this experience at a salon before.

Ashley does a great job with the massage. I would like to see a better stool for getting up on the massage table.
