Brook and Hearth Salon

This place is great! Cherie and Brenda were so nice and attentive. Everything there is disposable so you won’t find a place that’s cleaner. Give them a try! You won’t be disappointed!

I was introduced to Brook & Hearth via a Groupon. Am very glad I did. May did a regular gel manicure which turned out very good. She suggested that I, going forward, do a protective gel manicure which will eliminate the soaking off process necessary for the regular gel manicure. I read the literature she gave me and made an appointment for 3 weeks hence. Had a pedicure w/​Brenda. Very nice. The salon is so very friendly. Everyone in the room is included in the conversation. Looking forward to my next visit.

I received a Groupon offer as a gift for this nail salon. It was $ 19 for a gel overlay manicure. I have never had a gel overlay done on my natural nails before, only ever had acrylics put on. May was the woman who I set up an appointment with. The salon is located in a very unexpected place and was a little hard to find if you are a first timer there but once I found it I was pretty impressed.
There were two women working and it was only myself and one other client there at this time. They had music playing and even offered us a drink (water, coffee, etc). The ladies were very friendly and personable. This was my first time having an actual conversation with my nail artist. May even walked me through step by step of the process since I had never had this type of manicure before. She made sure that I was comfortable and made my experience very nice.
After it was over, they offered to give me a coupon for the next time I come in and explained to me that we could communicate via text or I could call or go online to set up my next appointment. The price is about the same if not a little cheaper than going to any other salon but they are always running promotions and specials.
I loved the fact that they were very natural and clean! They did not use the same brushes that come in the nail polish container. They poured the polish in a little cup and used a new clean brush. They also do not use the same buffer tip on more than one person and same goes for the nail files. They do not do acrylic/​fake nails and only use your natural nails.
I just went yesterday so now we will see how long the polish lasts before shipping or wearing out but so far I am very pleased and I will be booking an appointment for my pedicure next =]

I went because I found a good deal on Groupon but I don’t think I would have went otherwise. I loved the staff (friendly) and the atmosphere (cozy). My manicure was good and so was my pedicure. I left there with no complaints however just two days later my nails started to chip which was weird because I always get Gel manicure and they always last two weeks with no chips.

Cheri is always professional and does a great job! My mother in law has been going to her for over 10 years and she is a common name in our household! ;) I always look forward to visiting her and know my nails will look and feel great!

Not a professional nail salon by any means. The gel polish that they use is not Gelish or Shellac it’s something I’ve never used before at any salon and it didn’t last more than a few days before it started chipping, definitely not gel.
They do not use new supplies (cuticle cutter etc) and they didn’t soak them either to clean them, gross. Also this place looks like a hot mess there are cables and about ten extension cords running on the floor and their version of a spa pedicure includes a small tub of water on the floor in front of a booth which kept moving and made it uncomfortable. I was expecting a salon chair or something…
Staff is nice, they just aren’t in the right business

So happy I found this salon through Groupon! I’ve never been a girl to get her nails done, but since May first did my nails, I’ve kept going back for about 3 months now and don’t see myself stopping. Great service, convenient location, and best of all: nails that look amazing for weeks!

I loved the gel manicures here. Lasted longer than any other place. But first Sarah left, then Skyla, then Lynn, who did pedicures. Now May is the only choice on the book. She did my daughter’s nails and it lasted less than a week. She doesn’t cure it long enough. Super bossy and knows everything.
Can’t get into owner sherri’s book, she has her own fill of clients.
Don’t go anymore, product used to be great

I am so happy that I finally found the best nail place!
If you had any issue in the past with gel nails, you must come try this place. I do my nails with May, and she does a fantastic job! Worth the drive, trust me!
Thank you May and Cheri, you girls are great!

4.5 stars! The only reason why it doesn’t get a perfect score is that it’s a bit difficult to get appointments in. The salon is very quaint and located in Pine Lake Plaza, so it might be a little hard to find at first but I didn’t really have a problem.
Otherwise, I had the BEST pedicure done here and arguably the best gel mani! The techs were attentive, professional, and made sure that you ended up with exactly what you wanted. The prices were incredibly reasonable considering the service you receive!
As someone who has a degree in microbiology, they did an impeccable job with cleaning so that any germophobe would be pleased. The studio is very small and cozy, with 2 stations for manicures and 1 for pedicures, but I would for sure recommend this place!
Online scheduling is very easy and probably your best bet when it comes to making appointments because everyone had their hands tied in there (figuratively and literally haha).
In the end, this place is definitely worth the wait! Do try it out!

As far as I’m concerned, this is the only other nail salon I’ll be going to from now on! Located on Griffin Road, this one-​of-​a-​kind gem gave me a nice treat during my gel manicure today. Because of Joan’s review, I was eager to get my nails done with Cheri. She took her time to explain to me that her gel manicure differs from any other I’ve experienced before. She went over the steps she would take to complete my manicure and assured me that it would last longer than any other gel polish I’ve ever had.
After being offered coffee & water, we settled in to start my service. Cheri was a pleasure to speak to and I was also able to meet Sarah, the other nail tech. Both ladies are characters with great conversation and light hearted laughter. After much thought, I settled on the French polish for my color. Cheri applied the polish with such precision & did the white freehand which is quite a skill, especially with the gel polish!
Be sure to call well in advance because they get booked up very quickly! They’re in the process of expanding so perhaps availability will open up more later on. Gel manicures start at $ 25 so they are priced in line with other nail salons in the area. Try these ladies out as you won’t be disappointed!

Ive been to this salon for about 3 times and all i can say is that the atmosphere is very positive and cherry, the owner is extremely kind and nice. The only reason why i rated this place 3 stars its because i would go get my gel manicure every ¾ weeks and one day, i decided to go to my other place because they had booked all week. The lady who was taking the gel off told me that who ever got the gel done to my nails before wasent gel, and that they were weakening my nails by shaving the nail with a machine they use everytime they take the «gel» polish off and it took her a while to take her off. After that i never came back. Also the pedicure i would rate it 3 stars, if you are the kind of person who likes to get your feet scrubbed and get all the dead skin out then dont go because you will get upset and feel like they barely touched your feet.

I was intrigued by this salon reading about the commitment to cleanliness there (not to mention the crackling fireplace!). Yesterday I experienced the spa-​like atmosphere, the friendliness and professionalism at Brook and Hearth Salon for the first time. I had booked my next visit before leaving. What an oasis! Thanks Cheri, Skyla and Lynn for making me feel so welcomed.

I am a client of Brook and Hearth Salon. I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled to do so in this case. I am a client of Cheri’s for many years now and I have always have been well informed of the procedure and the products that are being used on my nails. This is a matter of great importance to me because I am one of those people that are allergic to acrylic! Calling someone unethical because you were in fact misinformed by your regular manicurist (who by the way should know that acrylic can be soaked off with the proper solution) just doesn’t seem fair. If your manicurist truly thought it was acrylic, why did she rip off layers? There is certainly a better way to get acrylic off. Whose the unethical one now, I wonder?
That being said the nail techs at Brook and Hearth are are extremely professional and go above and beyond to please. Cleanliness is very important to me, nail fungus is not pretty! Any polish that is to be used on your nails is poured out of the bottle into a small bowl and a clean sanitized brush is used on each client and never put back in the bottle! I have never seen this done in any shop. You never have to worry about using the same nail brush or polish as someone else. Tables and equipment is spayed and wiped after each client right in front of you and nail techs wash their hands before every manicure. I have never gotten a pedicure but I’m sure the same procedures are followed. As for my nails, they are always done to perfection. Cheri takes her time and never rushes me out the door as many manicurists do, she is considerate as to what my personal preferences are and will gladly change something if I do not find it to my liking. My nails never break and never ever lift, I get manicures every three or four weeks and only because they need to be filled but never because of lifting chipping or breaking. Last but certainly not least, after every manicure you will get and hand and arm message now that’s, above and beyond!
I have never gotten my nails done by Sarah but I have seen her work, it is wonderful she is an artist and a perfectionist!

I am reluctant to share this gem as it is difficult already if I need to change my standing with Cherie. Cherie had been doing my nails for at least 12 years. She is an expert at gel nails and has been doing them way before they recently became so popular. Cheri’s nail are immaculate and they last. A full set of gels is $ 40 and a fill every 3 weeks is $ 25. Cheri is so confident about her work that she does not usually charge for repairs. Cherie takes a lot if pride in her work and cares so much about
Her customers. Many regulars have been going there much linger than me!
Cheri just opened her new salon and it is a winner. Low lighting, lush aromas, and soft music create an expensive spa atmosphere. Complimentary flavored Keurig coffees & wine are offered. The place is immaculate. New, sterilized tools are used with every customer and there are even liners used in the huge gold pedicure basin. The massage chair is better than most salons-​more like the type you stop and use at Brookstone when you are tired of mall shopping.
The salon is not completely finished yet. Right now it is Cheri and Sarah. Sarah does nails, specializing in fantastic nail art. She also gives the most luxurious spa pedicures, including scrubs, mask, & massage (either $ 25 or $ 30, can’t remember, but very reasonable for the service you receive).
Definitely call in advance for an appointment. Since they are still small they get booked. And yes, the salon is on the second floor in a small office building — no street traffic so it really is a quiet retreat.
