Niki Anstrand I am so glad Alebrijes is so close to my home. I have been coming here for almost two years now, and Sandra does an absolutely amazing job on my nails every single time (I have gotten sculpture gel and acrylic nails with gel polish, both shiny and matte styles in a variety of colors). I have also gotten pedicures from multiple women who work here and my toes always come out amazing, and everyone who works here has been really kind and welcoming to me. I even recently brought one of my best friends who was visiting from Florida to come get a pedicure with me from Alebrijes, and not only did she love how her pedicure came out, but she also said the salon was the most beautiful nail salon she had ever been in, which I absolutely agree with. You can definitely tell that all the women who work at Alebrijes take a lot of pride in their work, and the beauty, cleanliness and atmosphere of the salon. I was surprised tonight to see that there are some negative reviews on here from people saying that there was no parking or that they didnt like that the salon is appointment only. I come here every two weeks, and my appointments have been all different days of the week and times of day, and there is always parking right around the corner at Santa Venetia park, I have literally never had a single issue finding basically half the parking lot open there. Of course, if youre only looking to park in the spaces right in front of the salon youll have an issue, because those spots are notoriously always taken, but the park I park at is only a minute and a half walk from the salon, is free and always has spots so I always go straight there. I have also always had a good experience with their online booking, it is super easy to add services or guests, but I do make sure to try to book ahead for my fills because they are very popular and its important to book ahead of time if you have a busy schedule. The fact that they are appointment-only is a good sign to me, because they provide high-quality service and therefore are busy because they are in high demand. Also, their sugar scrub that they give you to wash your hands with after a manicure smells AMAZING, I always leave Alebrijes super happy and relaxed. I very highly recommend this salon and will continue to be a customer and bring my friends for spa days for as long as I live in the area.

Christina McCloud I have been coming here for over three years. I absolutely love this salon. Even though I dont live as close, I make the drive. Their service is amazing, and I will continue to come here.

Mariko Ladrillono I had my eyelash permed(lifted) and it was one of the worst ones Ive had. I asked for natural curls (thats what the girl recommended to me too) but I ended up having my eyelashes curled almost 90 degrees. I waited to see if the curls soften as time passed but no, they were damaged. Some of my lashes were curled so awkwardly that they started poking my eyes. I even had to pull some out myself. Im so disappointed by the result and upset that I have to deal with this until my lashes fall off.
*You can see in the picture how my lashes were permed. They were definitely not NATURALLY curled.

Niki A. I was looking for a new nail place since moving to the area and I am so glad I found Alebrijes! Sandra did a beautiful job on my nails (sculpture gel/hard gel fill manicure) and she was really careful about asking me if I had any discomfort throughout the process and making sure I was comfortable. She also did a beautiful job on the shape of my nails (I like almond shape), and made sure I liked the shape before applying color (which I did because she did a fantastic job). I love that they give you a sugar scrub for your hands after the manicure as well. The pedicure was amazing, and Jessica asked me if I wanted the sugar scrub added which I did. I definitely recommend the sugar scrub because it was amazing and smelled really nice. She was meticulous and did an amazing job of making my toes look beautiful. The inside of the shop was bright and clean and welcoming. I will definitely be going back as a regular in the future! Bonus: it is right next to a Taco Shop!

Angela Garcia Got a gift certificate from my sister in law to this spa. I tried to make an appointment on line but it wouldnt go through. So I called and made an appointment. My technician was very quite, not really talkative. Very clean, nice facility. I had a gel manicure, and spa pedicure. The manicure was beautiful. I didnt really feel I got a good scrub down of my calluses on my feet though. I had ordered the callus remover and she forgot. I reminded her and she turned around and looked at the manager to confirm. After the manger said, yes I had ordered it, then She put the callus remover on my feet and then stuck my feet in the water straight away. I asked if that was going to be effective and she said yes. I was confused because no one had ever done that at any other salon. Besides that, they offered me water or wine, which was nice. The manager was very attentive and kind as well. I liked the way the mani pedi turned out. Very pretty and matched nicely. When I went to pay, the manager didnt know how to apply the gift certificate on their computer system. So it took a while to figure out. I had 18 dollars left over from my certificate, and she just rounded it off to 20 for my next visit. She couldnt reprint the certificate so she just signed my copy with a 20 dollar credit. It was a nice visit over all. As Im leaving my online appointment goes through. Lol. I had to ask her if they were going to charge my card because the appointment had just gone through. She said not to worry about it, if there was any issues to come back and shed resolve it.
