Beauty Box Hair Salon & Spa

I’ve been going here for my haircuts for six years. There’s a reason I keep coming back and am a loyal customer, it’s because they do a great job every time especially Dalixa. It’s a small shop but that doesn’t bother me since I make my appointments a month in advance. I highly recommend Beauty Box I’ve never had a bad experience and the prices for a great haircut are excellent.

I stumbled on this place because I purchased a groupon for nail services. I wasn’t very pleased with the pedicure that I received altho I must say that the owner tried and was very friendly. While mingling I just so happened to mention that I was on the look out for a stylist so she recommended Dalixa. I have since then seen Dalixa twice and I love her work. She is attentive to the customers request, friendly, does a mean blow out, and her prices are reasonable. Check her out! shes good.

This place sells a lot of groupon deals to get a nochip Mani and a regular pedi, but they only have one chair! You have to make an appointment and they are not flexible! When I was there, their only pedi chair was broken, it did not bubble the water. The technicians were good and did what they could. I gave them a nice tip, because it’s not their fault. This place needs more pedi chairs and workers.

I used the Groupon for a manicure and pedicure, and it went well. The woman who did my toes let me read my book, and the younger woman who did my nails was pleasant to chat with. There’s only one spot each for manis and pedis, which is why booking was difficult, I guess. No wait when I finally did schedule. It was fine.

I had a groupon for a no chip manicure and pedicure. I guess the salon to be so small. The main area is for salon hair services. There is one room that sits one person for a pedicure and one person for hands. My manicure was interesting. The technician asked if I wanted to have my cuticles cut or just pushed back. I never was asked that and thought the norm should have been cut. Of her tools she had this wooden stick that she would use to clean under my nails and to push back my cuticles. I was afraid that I was going get a splinter. I asked her to cut my nails short, instead she filed them down. The massage was a little weird. She did not ask me to take off my wedding ring and band so she lathered lotion all over my ring including the diamonds. Then she thought she something was on the diamond itself so she kept rubbing it. So she made my rings super greasy and dirty. The pedicure was not as expected either. My manicure finished early and the pedicure chair was not available so I had to wait 10 to 15 minutes. It was a different technician that did my pedicure. I thought it was strange that she used the cuticle cutter to cut my toe nails. She used a wooden stick to clean under my toe nails. It wasn’t until she was finished cleaning my toes that I realized it was the same wooden stick the manicurist was using on me! I realized this because the manicurist asked for her stick back so she could use it on her current client! That totally grossed me out! Because of my experience, I do not plan on going back to this salon EVER!

My groupon for a no-​chip mani and regular pedi was expiring so I called and was able to make an appointment for the day and time I wanted before I left for vacation. I showed up and was taken back to the nail room and the staff seemed friendly even though they didn’t offer me any water or anything. I assumed maybe they didn’t offer drinks to customers at this salon and didn’t really mind since I had a bottle of water in my bag. However, the girl that got her manicure as I was getting my pedicure was offered water, and when I had to come back to get my nails fixed (more on that later), the lady getting a pedicure was offered coffee and asked how she took it. Maybe they thought I just didn’t look thirsty.
The lady who did my pedicure took a grand total of 20 mins to do the whole thing. I figured she wasn’t very thorough and rushed the whole pedicure since I was using a groupon, even though that shouldn’t affect the quality of service. What’s worse: she didn’t apply a base coat OR a top coat. When I asked her about it, she said it was built in. It was an Essie polish and I know for a fact that they have neither a base coat nor a top coat built into them, but I could tell she wasn’t going to do anything more from me, so as soon as I got home I applied my own top coat.
The lady that did my no-​chip manicure was nice and very thorough. However within only FIVE days of getting it done (it’s supposed to last at least two weeks) the polish on my left thumbnail chipped and even though I didn’t pick at it and did my best to avoid touching or snagging it, by the end of the day the polish had almost completely peeled off of my nail. The next day, my right thumb and index finger both chipped. I had not been doing anything laborious that could damage my nails. I hadn’t even typed on a computer since getting them done! I had been on vacation lounging around on the beach.
As soon as I got back from vacation I called them to see if they could fix my 3 nails. The first time the phone rang and rang and eventually disconnected. It was 1:30pm on a Friday, as in normal business hours… I tried again about 5 mins later and this time somebody answered. I told her my name and the day and time of my original appointment and explained the situation. She put me on hold for 5 mins, I assumed to check their appointment log book, however when she got back on the phone with me she asked when I came in and for my name again then put me on hold for another 10mins. When she finally got back on the phone again she said she couldn’t find me so I told her my name again (even pronouncing it as they do in Spanish this time) and told her the day & time of the appointment again and even went into detail about who did my nails and what color had been used (#17 for the no-​chip, Essie «Come Here» for the pedicure). She finally conceded and told me I could come in at 3pm the next day b/​c that was the only thing they had available.
I got to the salon just before 3pm the next day, but the girl in the front had no idea what I was talking about when I told her about my 3pm appointment to get my nails fixed. She went back to the nail room then came back out and told me they were with other customers and I would have to wait. I asked her how long and she said at least 20 mins! I couldn’t believe it! I was beyond frustrated so I asked why they would be helping other customers when I was told to come in at 3pm since that was the only open time they had? She said she didn’t know and turned back to what she was doing. I said this was unacceptable and went up to the nail room myself and again asked why I was told to come in at 3pm since it was the only available time and yet they were helping other people then? They seemed a bit shocked and asked me AGAIN when I had originally came in and said they’d help me as soon as they could. As I waited in one of the chairs right outside the nail room, they proceeded to talk about me in Spanish. Little did they know, even though I don’t look like it, I am completely fluent in Spanish and understood every word. Meanwhile the girl who helped me when I came in asked for my name, phone number and original appointment time & date AGAIN.
To say I was annoyed about the situaton, and rightfully so, is a huge understatement. It was bad enough getting a rushed, incomplete pedicure and not getting the same treatment as their hispanohablante customers, and to have my nails chip within a few days of getting the no-​chip manicure, but to then be so rude and continually question my honesty about coming into the salon at all and on top of that take other customers during the only time & day they said they had available for me!!! Unbelievable!

I had a groupon for a no chip mani and pedi and another lifebooker coupon to have my hair highlighted, made an appointment a week in advance with no problem. The salon is very small but functional and wasn’t very busy when I went. The nail tech, Evelyn, is very thorough, though the finishing spray she put on my toes at the end of the pedi messed up the top coat making it streak white and ruining an otherwise ok pedicure. The no chip manicure was the best I have ever had though. There isn’t much choice for color as others have pointed out, and it always seems like the ones I want are a «layered» color which is $ 5 extra. I went for a 2^nd time when they had their no chip mani/​pedi special, making sure I booked the appointment with Evelyn, and had what I assume is the owner start on my pedicure so I was disappointed. She didn’t do a great job and should stick to doing hair. This lady is predominately Spanish speaking, so while Evelyn and I could carry on a conversation, that didn’t happen with her. There was no leg massage, very little cuticle and dead skin removal around the nails. She did a decent job with my highlights though, and if I could find another groupon I would definitely go again for that. The regular prices, and even the Tues-​Thurs mani/​pedi special are a bit much for what you get in my opinion. There are other no frills salons that charge less for a better pedi for sure.

I had a groupon and tried to book a last minute mani-​pedi, but no surprise, they were booked. Called me back that day with a cancellation and squeezed me in.
The «spa» is a no frills, barber shop with a nail section in the back. That being said, the woman was very nice and INCREDIBLY detailed with my treatment. I don’t think I’ve had a nail service where they put that much attention to detail into the work. It was really great. The no chip is supposed to last 2 weeks, which for me would have been 2 days ago. Despite the fact that I just spent a week in the ocean on vacation, which should shorten the life of the mani, my nails still look good and the only reason I need to take the polish off is because of my new nail growth.
Highly recommended for no-​frills, but high quality nail service, especially if you’re in the neighborhood.

Bought a groupon for this place and had a hard time getting an appointment. Finally I went today at 2pm and they had the door locked. Someone unlocked the door but didnt open it and offer me through. I was checked in and told they were running late. The place is TINY. If you don’t read Spanish then you’d better bring your own magazines to read. The pedicure itself was sub par, I had to ask her to put more cold water in because it was piping hot. She soaked my feet for three min and did a quick cut, cuticle cut and polish, nothing else I. E massage or oil. Same pretty much went for my no chip. Oh, and beware, the don’t have a lot of colors to choose from. I was pretty disappointed, but it was a groupon, so it was cheap.

I went for a spa pedicure and no chip mani. Well, the pedicure was very nice, she did a good job, despite quite slow, and the masage chair not working– but when I looked closer afterward she used the wrong color to ‘match’ my no chip which I specifically asked for. UGh! I let it slide, but they could have been a bit nicer about it. when I mentioned it. Also, since they didn’t pay attention and start removing the prior no chip and I had to wait the 20 mins for that to soak, the whole process took 1 hr. 45 mins– ended up missing my dance class.: (
The manicurist was really good, although verrry slow b/​c of her own really long fake nails (gorgeous) making it hard for her to function.
Since I had a groupon to use I guess it’s not so bad… But I was hoping for better since I live so close. I doubt I’ll come back. they only do 1 pedi at a time and maybe 2 manis.
My feeling on mani/​pedis is «its not rocket science!!! Its a no-​brainer, so do it properly and we’ll all be happy». Is that too much to ask for?

Terrible pedicure: nail polish smeared on my skin, no massage, quick, I could’ve done a better job myself. Not a great Manicure either but I’ve had worse. I would never pay full price here!

I had a groupon for Beaty box and finally went to redeem it today. Evelyn gave me an Amazing no chip manicure and Josephine gave me a great pedicure! The salon is cute and quiet. They have a great selection for colors for no chips. They also have $ 40 no chip manis and regular pedicure specials Wednesday through Friday. I had a great experience here and highly recommend it!

No chip mani and pedi for 35 bucks!!! Yes thats right!!! My polish was beautiful, the girl did an amazing job! Both times ive gone it lasts at least a week, longer if u dont pick at it, def worth it. sometimes 1 or 2 will fall off which she charges only 2 bucks to redo. A new girl did my nails super super patient, i didnt like the color even though she was already done, and she changed the color anyways. Also she suggested switching up a nail with different colors and gave it some sparkle at no additional charge!.. So a lot of negative reviews are based on apearance, i disagree. It is what it is, the owner does a lot with a tiny space. It is a hair salon that does nail and waxing. Since it is small, you usually need an appointment. Its always very clean and everyone is very friendly. Its not a fancy downtown place, it is a family owned and operated beauty salon. From personal bad experiences, i will turn to Unilocal before i purchase any groupons, to make sure that i am 100% about my purchase. It sucks for the people that thought this was a huge place its small so im sure that walk ins arent usually accepted. Well for me my bikini wax and pedi were done by the owner, she took her time and made feel very comfortable, i was so relaxed i was falling asleep. If you dont mind dishing out and preferfor a super posh place than this is not ur spot. If you like a good deal and staff that will rememeber you, go to beauty box!

I was gifted a groupon for a mani pedi, and fully enjoyed my experience here. No frills– just great nails and service! I will definitely be coming back!

Well, first off… this is more of a barber shop and less of a salon. Definitely misleading to call it a spa. So, when I bought groupons for my bridesmaids for no chip manicures and pedicures… a trip that should’ve traditionally taken two hours tops, took us close to 4. Two nail stations and one pedicure station makes for a looooooong day of waiting. And, it was only 3 of us.
I had called probably three weeks prior to make a reservation, so they knew we were coming. And I came a little early, knowing the challenges of their limited resources. But as I sat getting my nails done, my other two girls waited. There was someone in the pedi chair (right smack dab in the middle of our appointments) that moved to mani that really caused a hold up. I don’t know… but I would’ve thought the reservationist would’ve planned that a little better because it cost us quite a bit of time.
The good news: the manicurist was very through and took her time. As did the pedicurist. Both did great jobs. And street parking is free.
The bad news: limited color choice for no-​chip and both of my big toes are jacked, even though I waited two hours before putting on a pair of heels. So that sucks.
Groupon worthy, but I wouldn’t go back here to pay full price.

Had a Groupon for the place and it was part of my birthday pampering. The deal was no chip manicure and regular pedicure for 27bucks ! thats a steal right !
the Good
My pedicure was awesome the lady really took her time with my feet, I got scared but I thought to myself my feet must be jacked up cause this is the longest pedicure i have ever had in my life 1:30 — 3:00 ! I have other places to be .
But my feet does look good though !
This is a hair salon that does nails in my opinion it is small, only one pedi chair (this is crazy when they are running specials!
Bad
The Pedi chair was malfunctioning the whole time it was going up and down all on it own !
even when it was powered off !
I thought I was being Pranked !!! Everyone of the worker kept trying to fix it !
Then the nail tech say «you well you guys were playing with it «Lady i was not playing with jack ! This crap was broke before I got here !
The no chip was new to me seemed like a regular mani to me just placing your hand in a dryer every coat ! the polished were basic nothing stood the selection is limited !

I purchased the Groupon for the mani/​pedi and I wish I knew that it is a hair salon with one nail station. Considering that they sold over 700 mani/​pedis on Groupon, it is misleading to the customer to pretend that you are actually a nail salon.
I will say that that everyone who works there was really nice. However, probably one of the worst manicures I have ever had, uneven and paint all over my skin. If you didn’t already get suckered for the Groupon do not go here to get your nails done.

I agree with Kara K – despite its appearance, this place is a dive salon at heart. I got a haircut from a young stylist here on December 30, 2011. And it was a disappointment. No matter how I explained, gestured, or illustrated, the stylist did not understand that I wanted side-​swept bangs. And she did not account for the fact that I part my hair on the side, so I walked around with lop-​sided hair until it grew out. I came out of the salon looking like I did when I entered, only more awkward. I felt embarrassed of my hair until it grew out and I went to a real stylist at Circle Salon.

My girl, Dalixa knows how to handle my hair! I go only to her and she always hook me up with the hair color! Ops, I have to make another appointment with her real soon!

Prices are a bit high for a neighborhood salon BUT Dalixa the young girl there does a great job drying and cutting. She is young but knows her stuff.
