Alexandra On earth Love it here. Super clean and friendly staff and you’ll always serviced immediately! They do exactly what you ask every time which is why I love coming here. This time I paid $70 for an ombré full set with anc and I absolutely love them!

m m An exquisite experience and I have never felt more trusting of a talented team. The haircut was beyond my high expectations, the salon really understand its niche and clientele. I am so grateful to have now found a great stylist in Albany area, so many come and go and this placed has remained to stay unwavered. Lovely skillful hairstylists that are worth everything to put your faith in trusting hands. My hair is perfect now because they gave me an excellent trim and style. Thank you perfect cut!

Brian Harrington I got a great haircut at Perfect Cut. He listened to everything I said which a lot of times is not the case..he didnt cut it too short which is also a common result. I will def be going back...extremely friendly. I also liked the history of the place. Also a bit cheaper than other places as well. Very happy to have found it. Also his wife is very sweet and I enjoy talking with them. Also willow is the most adorable dog in all of albany

Nina Lake Jeanie has been cutting & coloring my hair for more than 20 years. She knows how to work with my natural wave, to bring out the best in my hair. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you, Jeanie

Bella Yeung I got my pedicure here. They have few varieties and i did the honey pedicure. I have dry skins. Its deeply moisturized my skin after this treatment. I have been too few other salons but this salon i feel they use better quality products. I highly recommend this place.

Abby Kong I have been a regular customer of this shop for more than ten years. Their service attitude is very good. I went to Vogue nail to get my feet done today. It was very comfortable. I chose Spa #3. After the completion, my whole body felt great. It was a great enjoyment.

Theresa Bonneau I have gotten many pedicures from Vogue Nails and have never been disappointed. The staff are professional, friendly and accommodating. I generally opt for the hot stone pedicure... enjoyable and very relaxing. The prices for services are reasonable. Highly recommend Vogue Nails!

Kobina H The first time that I went here, Michael waxed my eyebrows so perfectly. They were thick and beautiful. The next time, he thinned them out . I think it was because I unintentionally raised my voice at the guy who was trying to ask if I wanted to go to someone else since the person I wanted was with another person. Maybe he was upset since my eyebrows are also uneven So sad because I loved this place. I dont like thin eyebrows. It seems to be a thing here judging from the other comments.

Samantha Hoff My favorite nail place around ! I have gotten gel manicures at a bunch of places and they always last the longest for me from Miracle, and they have a ton of options.

Jaiden Magill I hate my nails. I am telling you please never go. I have been a few times and never had them this terrible. My nails are so thick and ugly. I’ve never been so upset by how terrible my nails turned out until now. My lady did my nails last time and they turned out fantastic and today she sucked. They weren’t filed down to a good thickness at all and I wish I could get my money back. I got “coffin” shape and they are more square than coffin. Meant to be for Valentine’s Day but I am embarrassed to walk around with them. Not too bad from the front but bad at every other angle

jasmine bollenbach Had an apt for anc and two kids nails to be painted. Was in and out under a hour. Clean location, friendly staff, decent prices. I definitely recommend and will definitely be going back to this location for future appointments.

Victoria Jerusalemski They charge 20% for tip no matter if you happy with your nails or not. I picked color than she said it is not right color after she put a layer of it. I broke my nail, they say they don’t have time to fix it. It is all about how many clients they get, not about quality of work

Peek A Boo Preschool I made an appointment for my 7 year old and myself for pedi/mani last night. No extras. Regular polish. I let the manager know it was a young child when I made the appt. As you can see my nails didnt come out great (and this is after having the guy fix two). My daughter was sat away from me and when I asked her if she was ok, her and I were yelled out and told not to talk by her mani tech. Her whole demeanor changed from excited to afraid. Her pedi tech was much nicer and made her feel better. Her flower fell over as soon as she was seated at the dyer. She started after me and was down with both services very quickly and was charged FULL price. I had the same tech for mani and pedi and he was not friendly and also painted the wrong color on my toes but then fixed it. He was a tad rough with the punching and slapping massage and he didnt attempt to ask me if I was ok it even speak at all to me. Above is maybe a 3 star experience, however it becomes a 1 star at check out when "Johnny or Joey (not sure which one was his name" said to me in front of a full room and my daughter that I should tip one of his options only 20/25/30% percent. In an effort not to complain or talk negatively about the techs, I asked if there was another tip option and I tipped $15 due to be yelled at for talking to my child who was not next to me. The manager Joey said "I just want to let you know that I will be taking money out of the sale to make up for a 15% tip." In front of many people and what I wanted to say is 20% is for great service and 15% is even more than was deserved. Many would have left 10% or nothing! And.......if it wasnt for my daughter who I didnt want to scare, I wouldve honestly walked out when we were yelled at by the tech! After the manager said this to me about the tip, even though my daughter wasnt done drying her toes I told her it was time to leave asap! She left with wet toes and I left with missing polish and a bad experience. I have never had any issues at other nearby salons. Side note- there seems to be videos in all the techs faces and timers at their station and I feel like they get in trouble for not pumping out clients fast enough and maybe this is why all the mistakes. I feel bad for the workers

Angelena Louban I got my nails done for the first time at this salon. When I called I was easily able to make an appointment for the same day. When I arrived, I was greeted by Cindy who was the nail tech who did my manicure. Cindy was extremely gentle with my nails, which is something I really appreciated. Cindy was very nice, asking if I liked the length, shape, and color before proceeding with the rest of my nails. Price was very fair. I was even given a small gift for the holidays! I will absolutely recommend this salon to anyone, and I will definitely be returning to future appointments. Thank you Cindy & staff!!

Suma Achanta This is my 3rd visit here on wednesday @18th september 2024 around 4pm. 1st time was mediocre then i decided to give it one more try 2nd time was awesome actually. These two time i just got basic pedicure nothing fancy but 3rd time i took my chance and i got lavender pedicure. Idk if the lady who did mine is trainee or they lack interest my callus is barely removed barely soaked barely lavender oil is applied. Not going back.

Karyn Rees I am very impressed with the staff and their attention to customers needs. I got a pedicure with callus removal and Jack did an excellent job. I then got a regular manicure but was in a time crunch. So Leo took over and really did a great job in a short time. They were all friendly and the place had a good vibe!

Kate R I went yesterday for a pedicure and felt very rushed with my experience. I have been here before for a manicure and the gentleman that did it did an amazing job. Was attentive to detail and asked me if I liked the work. So I decided to return for a pedicure. I purchased one of the upgraded pedicures($50) that included a massage. My person showed me the timer and pressed start and then gathered all the material they needed for the massage. My neighbors timer went off and my person stopped my massage at the same time. They did not ask me if the length was short enough. Only did 1 coat of paint. I have spots that are missing color and it is not even. I was out of there within a half hour and that includes time under the dryer. Not sure if regular pedicures get a small back massage when drying but did not receive that if it was suppose to be included. . The person who checked me out also was very unfriendly. Did not ask me about my experience. Very disappointed

Hannah DiLiberto I recently moved here and needed to find a new nail salon. Sad to say this was NOT IT. I was very disappointed all around. I made an appt for a gel manicure and when I arrived I felt very rushed. I hadnt even selected a color or had time to look through them before they sat me. I ended up asking for a small design on my ring finger - just a few small flowers - and I swear they looked at me like I was crazy. I even showed them a picture! It was just very uncomfortable. They did not file or shape my nail in the way that I wanted. The color is all uneven along my cuticle. The small flowers I showed them were very simple to do - my old nail tech wouldnt have even batted an eye but the design they did looked terrible. When we finished, the edges of my nails were so rough and uneven that I had to go home and file them down and shape them myself. Its been 4 days and the gel is already peeling. Not upset about it though because I wanted to take it off myself almost instantly. Do not go here.

Morgan Albright Went in today with my fiance for two pedicures. I always get tips and gel on my two big toes…well one is longer than the other, one is wider than the other and they’re bumpy and not the way I’m used to. I only go to Walmart and this is exactly why. Not only that but she burnt me twice AND cut me countless times with a nail drill. I spent $100 and left no tip. I’m extremely unhappy.

Ryder G Very clean and very therapeutic Went here as a treat for a birthday as a walk in. We were immediately taken in and got manicures. I wanted a clear coat but the lady recommended a buff and shine because it lasts far longer She was very gentle and efficient. Massaging my hands with oil and soaking my hands in hot water. So relaxing that I almost fell asleep! Here are some before and after pics

Amber Leigh Lovely nail salon! It felt very clean and the staff were great. Very pleased with my mani and pedi.

Nancy Girouard Lana did an amazing job on my pedicure and can handle ingrown toenails. Lily used her power box expertly to remove the gel, and went from side to side for my manicure so I didnt have to reach over and be uncomfortable. The salon is very quiet, clean, and they used sanitized tools.

Emma Forrester I’ve been going to Bob for the last 6 months and he is amazing! I get a haircut and color from him and he kills it every single time. I get a pixie cut and have a ton of cowlicks which has been a challenge from past stylists, not for Bob! He has made me look gorgeous every single time. Thanks Bob, you’re the best!

Wren DiCocco I had an appointment with Mikaela the other day and all i can say is WOW. i always walk away from hair appointments disappointed because stylists can never figure out how to cut and style my curly hair. not here!!! my cut looks fantastic. Mikaela provided wonderful insight on how to style my curls and gave me exactly what i needed. she was honest and steered me away from a haircut because of my length, but managed to get the exact vibe i was going for. i highly recommend for anyone, especially curly girls who feel like no salon has been the right fit. i will 1000% be returning when my hair needs to be cleaned up again! thank you mikaela!!!!

Lisa Baker I love the was Maura colors my hair. I am very picky about the blond I want and she does an amazing job of getting it right. Also, my hair is healthier since I have been getting it colored by Maura. She is an expert color stylist. I highly recommend her.

Daiana Agudelo Tana is a great hairstylist. She is very thorough and does a great job. I highly recommend her.

Lindsay P. I love Chrissy and her team!! I have been going there for almost 5 years and always loved the atmosphere, quality of service and the amazing job that Chrissy does with my highlights and styling! I love that they have 7am appointments too!

kason stallings Walked in to hand out some take out menus and immediately felt unwelcome in there. I don’t own a business so If it was unprofessional of me to hand out take out menus they could of just declined my offer in a professional way no thank you were fine for now that would of been sufficient one lady did however ask for one went to hand it to her another young woman immediately took it and was like alright bye just very rude I mean was i there for a haircut no but don’t wear your emotions on your sleeve they could just said we are good i don’t believe it’s a race thing but if you’re of color watch your step

Hannah Brought my mom to get our nails done for a late Christmas gift and had a great experience! The owner Leo did both of our nails and was great! He made sure we were both comfortable and liked our nails as he was going. The salon itself was very clean and the other staff was also great! Little to no wait, we made an appointment ahead of time but they do accept walk ins! While we were there they had multiple people walk in and they got them in chairs and started working on them quickly! I ended up messing up a nail when transferring to the pedicure station and when Leo noticed he immediately fixed it with no hesitation saying he wasn’t letting us leave with less than perfect nails! Overall, great experience and we will be back! Thanks again Leo!!

Hillary Pucci I have nothing but positive things to say about Ivy Nails! The staff is friendly, I never have to wait, the prices are fair & they always do a great job. Highly recommend.

Ana Sacilowski Mindy was literally the best!! Miss Mindy is a girls girl, she so so nice. She’s so gentle yet thorough. The whole place was super clean. I haven’t had a pedicure in a while because the last time I had a bad experience. But she’s totally changed my life. I’m going back soon!!

Madeline Forman Love this salon! Kaitlyn Beck takes care of my hair and I am forever appreciative of her knowledge and personality! The owner, Kaitlin Bray, did my brows a few weeks ago and I cant wait to go back! These talented women rock and everyone should utilize their services. Five stars!

Kelsey Heidenstrom Rebecca Nelson has done my hair for years and I constantly get compliments on the color! Many of my friends have started going to her after seeing my cut and and blonde color. She’s also so nice and friendly- great person to chat with while getting your hair done! I highly recommend

C A Ive been going to Strut for the past few years and have been seeing Randi for my haircut and color. I LOVE Randi - she is fantastic! Not only is she an awesome person, I love how she cuts and styles my hair. I have been so disappointed with salons and stylists in the past that when I would get a cut, I dont even ask the stylist to style my hair because I usually dislike it. Randi listens to what the client wants, but also advises what is best for the client based on the hair type, face shape, etc. I have asked for things for my hair where Randi has wisely advised me against! The salon is small but very well decorated. The place feels posh without being pretentious. All of the people that I have interacted with have been friendly and down to earth. I first came to Strut because I had received a gift card and had my eyebrows done by Kaitlin (also excellent). Prices are also very reasonable for the services. I highly recommend Randi and Strut.

Priscila First time at Fashion Nails and it did not disappoint. I got french tips with Nina and she is such a perfectionist, it was exactly what I asked for. Most pleasant experience, clean place, relaxing. 10/10 recommend, go see Nina!

Latae Davis Definitely a great business with great customer service. I’ve been here about ten times and each experience has been pleasant and positive . I always get a full set of acrylics, a pedicure and and an eye brow wax and they always come out amazing. Tonight’s experience was especially pleasant as I came in a little later then usual and they were able to have two people complete my services at once and they never made me feel rushed and made sure I was satisfied during the whole process. I definitely recommend them to anyone who values high quality work and good customer service.

Cher Freda Really disappointed. I made an appointment with Nina but when I walked in no one checked my appointment and I didn’t get Nina. I was called over to someone I assumed was Nina because it was my first time there. I asked for a square medium set and I knew things were going downhill when she cut my nails into a coffin shape. I didn’t want to be annoying my first time there and have her take my tips off so I dealt with it.while this was happening a women goes to grab their appointment book and calls me in the chair. This was Nina who my appointment was supposed to be with. She hung up the phone and said nothing. Didn’t even mention that my appointment was to be with her. I even asked if she called me and she just said yea. I noticed it was Nina when another client came in and called her by name. The other woman did my nails and all in all they came out okay, but when I went to pay it was $95. She charged me $35 for my design and $5 for the shape I did not ask for. I have never paid more than $30 for my design even when it is more intricate than this unless I have gems or 3d art. Which is worth the extra cost. She didn’t even give me a second coat of polish. I called her on it and she didn’t say she would remove the charge for the shape I didn’t ask for. She just looked at me and held her hand out for my card. I have no problem paying for my service based on what I asked for, and I would’ve tipped her $20 because I used to work in the service industry and I always tip that much, and even with all of this, I still tipped her $15 for work that in my opinion wasn’t worth the cost. Especially since my pinky nail is literally sticking straight up with my hands flat. No idea that was even possible. I want to come back and get my nails actually done by Nina because I was referred to her, but this left a sour taste in my mouth. Edit:I will literally never come here again. After 4 days 6 of my nails lifted. For $95…you’ve got to be joking. Avoid at all costs.

kristieeil leenbl Every time I visit, I always feel like I am being taken care of neatly and enthusiastically at this nail salon. The staff not only made my nails beautiful but also gave dedicated advice on suitable colors and designs. I am delighted and will come back again and again.

Cora Ordway UPDATE PLEASE READ !! I WROTE THIS WHILE I WAS THERE .. After we were done and I handed my card to pay , she didnt take it but asked me to pay with venmo. The total was 280 FVcKinnnnnnGgggg DOLLARS!!! Wtf !! For 2 pedicure , anc full set with gel french manicure polish !!! I questioned it thinking I heard her wrong !! Yes the service was great but we werent served any champagne or wine or even offered water !! That is so crazy !! Nope ..never will I return !! Im still pissed about the price and its the next day. And BTW our nails are not flawless !! My Daughter in law and I went and were treated like royalty !! No joke !! The ladys there were all so kind and never hurt us. They took their time to make sure we were happy with our tow nails and fingernails. The owner was so sweet. The pedicure felt amazing . They didnt rush through it . The girls were not speaking to each other in another language like they do in other salons. I personally hate that. I like most women my age have had my nails done many times for the past 30 years and this place is in the top 3 .

Jan Houston Last weekend, my mom and I had a wonderfully relaxing session when we got our nails done here. Not only beautiful nails but also very good massage and clean waxing services. We all felt relaxed and refreshed after our nail session.

Jennifer Morwin I wasnt aware that Anias offered spa services until my friends daughter joined the team as a hair stylist. I tried my first service with Jillian over a year ago and have been going there regularly since. Prior I had been going to some of the better known spas locally, however the services offered, quality of the services and knowledge Jillian shares far exceed what I received anywhere else. She has a passion for what she does and it shows!

Jennifer A Im 9 years old and school picture day is tomorrow. Kelly was my stylist .she was super gentle with my long hair. We had a really good conversation and she made me feel comfortable. She did awesome braids and my hair down. I will definitely go back to Kelly again. I totally recommend this salon and stylist.

Melissa Harris Ive been seeing Jillian for about a year now for all my aesthetic needs. Lash extensions, waxing, and facials. She is sweet, professional and always gives the best recommendations for skin care. She is the best.
