Best WLM Reviews
I really didn't want to get on here and write a bad review but after paying over $80 and my nails didn't last a week, I'm 8 days since my appointment and this is how my nails look. It's super disappointing to go somewhere to treat yourself and your appointment is rushed and the qualily of work done is embarrassing, the nails don't even stay looking nice. Mind you I work at a computer, I don't do hard laboring work with my hands. I wouldn't ever go back after my experience there.
Love this nail spa. Jimmy is excellent with acrylic nails. I've never had a chip or a break and I can easily go 3 weeks between service if I need to. My husband even enjoys a signature pedicure here every so often. The spa is clean and friendly. I love that there is a "spa dog"! ???? I love my nails after a trip to Athena Day Spa. If you like this review please click "like"... it helps my feelings. Update for today. Another fantastic manicure.
Went there while visiting from out of town and got a dip manicure (something I’ve been doing for years, I have had one a month since 2017).
It was clear the man doing my nails was rushed and sloppy, but he followed the steps that I’ve seen at other salons so went with it.
One nail chipped THE NEXT DAY. What was I doing you ask? Obviously something super hard on my nails because everyone knows dip can last while, right? Wrong. I was opening my wallet. I had to file my nail significantly down to hide it.
Two days later, another nail chipped. What was I doing that caused this? Putting on a pair of pants.
So that’s two chips in 3 days. It’s now day 5 and three more nails are very close to chipping. The edges are sloppy. It’s laughable this is how they perform work, but I understand mistakes happen.
I call the salon and ask for a refund and offer to send pictures. They refuse to entertain it, saying it’s not their policy and I should have spoken up at the time. Spoken up about…what? Should I have had a sixth sense to know my nails were to chip? Come on. They did mention they have a 2 week guarantee, however being from Chicago and visiting, this is obviously not feasible. So I guess go here any expect poor quality but if you can go back every day? Who has that kind of time?
Likely won’t be back to ABQ, but putting this out there for local ladies. See pics below and good luck!
Update 1 - 2 more nails have chipped since I wrote this 3 hours ago. All I did was put on my coat and reach in my purse for my wallet. Such a joke. A dispute has been filed with my credit card company with plenty of proof of this poor service.
Update 2 - 7 days after getting this manicure, 9/10 nails are chipped. The salon refuses to do anything. This is without a doubt the worst manicure I’ve had in my life. Regular polish would have lasted longer. Avoid this place at all costs.
I highly do not recommend this place. They charge too much for just a simple design acrylic nail set for $65!!! Also, they will charge you a $20 fee if you cancel your appointment or don't show up and my nails did not look like the picture I showed him. Such a simple design that I can even do myself. Just got my nails done for Valentine's Day & they are already lifting. Will not be coming back. I'm very disappointed.
The people are super nice and quick. We had mani-pedi combos and my toes look great! My feet are still scratchy though.. my finger nails have chrome on them but the gel polish came off my index finger in part on the same day I had them done. I've never had gels come off on their own without me peeling it.
I'm more than a little disappointed considering the cost of having gels applied.
Nails cracked, gel polish lifted after 4 days. Nice people but don’t like the quality of service at all
Very nice ladies! Just make sure when you go in that you know what you want and make it clear...I didnt get the toe design I wanted. Got a fill and a manicure...don't go here if you want a design...my attached picture shows thier version of a heart. My nail tech did a great job with shaping my nails and painting the solid colors. VERY pricey!
I wanted to love this place because of the name, the cute baby, and the sweet dog but I can’t do it. I’ve stopped by on several occasions and it doesn’t get better. The gel manicure lasted less than two weeks and was lifting. The owner isn’t very friendly and doesn’t acknowledge you. None of the services I’ve received have lasted long
