Serene Haven

Great Ambiance; new looking everything, meticulous gentle nail technicians, cleaned autoclaved tools, dedicated friendly front desk manager. They offer tea and water… Overall great experience. This will be my nail place from now on.

Very sanitary, and they really take their time to provide a good and thorough service. The staff is friendly and polite. I took my aunt there, and we both got the deep moisture combo for mani and pedi. Well worth it!

I came here based on the good reviews, and I will not come in again. I got a gel manicure, not even 10 hours later, my thumb nail is chipped and lifting. Then I notice that my ring finger is really sharp and chipping too. The qualify of the work done is very terrible and I would recommend anyone to come into this shop.

Such a lovely, caring staff! They even did my nails for months with a broken foot … Being oh so careful. Always smells like heaven — no chemical smell. Management is always present and professional. My favorite nail salon by FAR!

This has become my favorite place to get a mani/​pedi for a couple of reasons:
** David is great. Very friendly and warmly greets customers when they walk in and the staff is courteous.
** The place is very clean. The tubs are always lined with a plastic liner. All the tools come out of sanitized bag. This is a big deal because not all places do this.
** Water and tea is offered.
** My nails come out looking great.
While their prices are slightly higher than several other nail salons in the area, I think the service and cleanliness more than make up for it.

I have been going to Serene Haven for years. The staff are always professional, courteous, and accommodating. I love that the nail techs are punctual and the salon is kept meticulously clean. They have a huge selection of polishes and gels. Helen and David, the owners are wonderful. Helen does excellect spa treatments, waxing, facials, eyelashes, etc. As a medical professional, I can suggest Serene Haven as the #1 choice of salons in the Valley. Plus there is free parking in the back.

It’s a nice spot. Clean most importantly. I was in the area and really needed a full and a pedicure. You have to make an appointment for a fill. They apparently aren’t staffed with nail techs on call. Lose a star for inconvenience. The lady that did my toes really dug into my toenail to much. It hurt. I don’t enjoy painful pedicures. Another star lost. She did paint them nicely. I just had to tell her multiple times to go easy on my feet. I get them done every other week. No need to treat them like some crazy cave women feet. Anyways it’s good enough if you’re in the area. I don’t see myself returning tho.

I can’t even explain how much I love this nail salon. I have been coming here for years and years. I have brought all my family and friends to check it out. So maybe I’ll just give you a list of my top reasons–
— Super service — everyone is so nice. David always answers my calls with, Hi Olga. Where can you get that kind of service these days? Unlike many other nail salons there is not a ton of chatter in other languages among the nail techs. Most of the employees speak English well and focus on taking care of you instead of chatting with each other (again, in contrast to most other nail salons).
— Nail polish selection — they always have the newest OPI collections. They also carry Essie and some other options. The selection is big and, unlike other place, they do not try to fix old polishes by thinning them with remover, they just trash them.
— Retail — they sell things that I actually would buy, and have purchased things there. Useful things — the polishes that they have available for manicures, false lashes (brand I usually get), Havaianas flip flops (um, how can you ever have enough of these), Moroccan Oil products (they are awesome, obvi), and more
— Other Services — they also have staff that does facials, waxes, spray tans and more in a specially designated area in the back (several rooms).
— Nice Inside — decorated nice and its spacious on the inside
— Hot Towels — the hot towels they put after they do their mini massages, my favorite part!
— Actual Manicures/​Pedicures — I am so annoying nit picky about my nails. I have tried many other salons whether because I was out of town or couldn’t make it here, and pretty much every time I was unhappy. Here my nails are on point without fail. My girl Hani always hooks it up!
— The People — As already mentioned, the service is good but I will say it again — the service is good! Hani is the nail tech that I almost always go to and she is awesome. Super nice, super friendly and meticulous with her work. She always takes my sometimes crazy requests in stride (fishing out flower shaped glitters to add to each of my nails, painting a pattern on my nails to match my outfit, adding crystals that I brought from home to my nails…). She is awesome and talented.
Just go here already, I promise you will love it!

I came here two days ago to get a pedicure with my friend. They have a good color selection of OPI and Essie polishes and their pedicure area is very clean, they even line the basins with bags which I appreciate. I added a callus treatment to my service because it’s summer so of course I’ve been wearing flip flops just about every day and it’s taking a toll on my feet. My friend also got a callus treatment and I noticed that the woman who did her service put way more chemical on her feet than my lady put on mine. It seemed like she hardly put any on mine to be honest, and when she scrubbed my feet some skin came off but my friend had chunks of dead skin coming off. I just thought I had less dead skin than my friend but then yesterday I looked at my feet and it didn’t even look like I had gotten a callus treatment. I felt them and they also felt like I didn’t get a callus treatment done the day before. I’m pretty upset because it was an extra ten bucks, bringing my total to $ 35 which is definitely on the more expensive side for a pedicure especially when there are so many nail salons on the boulevard. The callus treatment was the main reason I wanted a pedicure in the first place too so I’m not happy about that.

This is truly a serene place to paper yourself. They request patrons limit their cell phone use and play mellow music. Their manicures and pedicures are top quality, the owners are friendly, the salon is clean and appealingly decorated. Highly recommended

Serene haven is pretty awesome! I’ve been going here for a couple years and the owners treat you with the best customer service as soon as walk thru the door! Nina is great with my pedicures, super thorough and professional. Overall I really like the staff and nail technicians!

I received a gift certificate from a friend who lives in the Midwest. She certainly did her homework and found a place that was perfect for me! There is a very Island feel here, from the music to the all around vibe. I had the fanciest pedi they offer and it did not disappoint! I’ve had paraffin before, you know, you either dip 3 times, or they put it in baggies. Not here. Serene Haven has paraffin socks that you just put on, and then they wrap your foot in a foot warmer!!! SOLD!!! I have a place I love, and I will go back to that place for other things, but nails, I am all in at Serene Haven.

I am giving this place a three star review because the first time I came here I had a great experience: the nail technicians that did my mani/​pedi did a great job. The place was clean and they had a very reasonable price. The manicure lasted very long without getting chipped!
For those reasons I came back a second time excited to relax and enjoy my manicure thinking they would do a great job and I would have nothing to worry about. The girl that did my nails this time completely screwed up my nails. I always get square shaped cut short. She didn’t ask me what shape I wanted so I assumed she saw my nails and was going to mimic the shape I had before. Instead she made them half circular and half square (like a short coffin shape). It is not exactly what I wanted but I did not want to complain. Then I realized two of my nails were a very messed up shape. Half the nail was round and the other side square! It was disgusting and there was nothing I could do except wait to grow out my nails. On top of all of that the manicure was $ 18, pretty over priced.

I’ve previously rated Serene Haven 4 stars for having a few mediocre polishers, however it’s been consistently fantastic for over a year now! Consistency in the service industry is what sets businesses apart, and this place has accomplished that! The only feedback I would have is to keep the polish bottles more updated, or fresher looking. They always apply well and last long, but it would add to the aesthetics!

I’ve had Nina do my gel pedicures several times, and she is very conscientious about making the polish look beautiful.
I’ve also had Helen do my eyebrows, and she does a wonderful job, as well as being very friendly and welcoming.
This is a nice environment in which to get your nails done — very spacious and it doesn’t feel like a sweatshop. Plus, free parking in back! Highly recommended.

I’ve been to so many nail salons, and I’ve never seen a cleaner one! You’ll even get the cleanest nails ever! They make sure there’s not one dead skin left! It’s a big place too! The seats are comfortable with a pillow behind your back. You get a complimentary water bottle. The mini massage they gave was ok. But when it comes to coloring, I had to tell the lady several times to color the whole nail, which she failed to do so for 4 of them. On the other hand, maybe the lady that I got only does that. There’s a big chance that I might go there again…

I went there for the first time today. I loved the actual salon & the actual people who did the gel manicure/​pedicure; however I have a few issues.
1) They did not offer gloves for the UV light machine
2) I don’t think my gels were completely dry because now seeing them in the light, I have a ton of dents near the tips (I wasn’t careful since I’ve never had this problem before & never had to be careful)
3) Expensive for the services provided (I’ve been doing gel mani/​reg pedi for 2 years, every two weeks and this was the most I’ve paid (and one of my least fav).

The place is really nice and clean inside. They play old 50s music which is a cute touch. I came in with no appointment for a pedicure and was helped right away. Everyone is very professional and I got a nice complimentary cup of tea.
The only thing that didn’t get them a fifth star was their seats they had for pedicures. There is no way to recline them and you sit straight up which is hardly relaxing. I’m not super sensitive when it comes to the kind of seat I need to sit in but these ones just weren’t cutting it at all and there was no way to get comfortable either. Not even with the pillow on the seat to begin with.
Other than that I would go back there, just not for a pedicure. :)

This is one of my favorite places for a manicure/​pedicure in my neighborhood. I’ve gone, sporadically, for years! The only thing that keeps me from a 5 star rating is… well two things.
1. The lack of champagne. In my life I want to always be greeted with Champagne! Or, at the very least, off me and my guest the same green tea you offered everyone else. I like water. But don’t assume.
2. This is America and I love for my practitioner and I to communicate without a translator or hand signals. #ijs

I want to give 100 stars!!! Not only is the salon top notch, the owners David & Helen are amazing people! The care about their patrons & it shows in everything that they do & the services they provide.
This review is long over due. My now hubby & I have been coming here religiously every 2 weeks for our mani & pedis. This is like our date nights. So when we got married, instead if hosting a traditional rehearsal dinner, we approached David & Helen with the idea of renting out their store one Friday late afternoon. Not only were they open to the idea, they were so excited & happy to help with everything! So I had a food truck parked out front, portos appetizers instead, & our closet family & friends got mani & pedis! It was perfect! We had great food & company & everyone got glammed up for our wedding that was the next day.
I would totally suggest having a Bach party, bridal shower, baby shower, bday, rehearsal dinner, & any other party here!
