4 /5 Orizema: I expressed my interest in getting a manicure and lash lift to a family member who recommended this place for the former but mentioned this place also offers the latter. I was really pleased with the manicure I received; I didn’t seek a particular person but after showing an inspiration pic, they were able to give me the style I wanted. This included regular check-ins such as whether I liked the shape she filed my nails into, the color of polish, the thickness of the white tips. I will say, I am a climber and I have never been a spa/salon person; I’ve probably gotten less than half a dozen manicures my whole life, so I was not used to the slight pain that came from fixing up my cuticles but it was worth it to see my nails so cleaned up! The full manicure does not compare to the ones I had gotten as a teenager; it looked literally perfect with no empty edges and not caked on so it still felt pretty natural. Speaking of, it was neat that my natural nails were used for shaping, I only wish I had let them grow out a bit more before my visit. As for the lash lift, I’ll just say it was my first time getting any kind of lash work and I was so disappointed by the service and execution that I probably won’t be giving it another shot; immediately after the tech finished, the effect was rather subtle on my typically-stick-straight lashes, but I approved. Then disappointingly by the time I got home it was all gone on one side and barely noticeable on the other. In general, I didn’t feel as comfortable and at ease here as I expected, but it was tolerable and the nail service is excellent (albeit expensive) so I may return once or twice more for that.
