Sahara Nails And Lashes

I went to this nail salon because my usual one isn’t open on Sundays, but it wasn’t a good experience. I called ahead and confirmed I wanted builder gel on my natural nails ($60). The lady, Julie, clearly didn’t know how to apply builder gel. Builder gel isn’t regular gel polish, you’re supposed to build the apex and shape the nail properly, but she did none of that. I even told her to be gentle, but she filed my natural nails really hard and said it had to be that way for the gel to stay. The whole process felt rushed, like she just wanted to finish as fast as possible. Three hours after the appointment, three of my nails completely peeled off. I saw the owner’s response, and let’s clear a few things up. I never put my hand too deep or too far from the lamp. I’ve been doing builder gel for years and never had this issue anywhere else. The gel peeled off in full pieces, which clearly means it didn’t bond correctly. And yes, every tech has their own “style,” but there are still basic steps for applying builder gel properly, none of which were followed. About the extra $10 for cutting dead skin, Julie never said it would cost more. She didn’t say anything when I paid either. I only realized the total didn’t add up later and had to call to find out. That’s not a misunderstanding, that’s just bad communication. And honestly, arguing with your customer online is such a bad look. That’s not how you do business. Instead of trying to make things right: you have my phone number, my Zelle, plenty of ways to reconcile, you decided to hop online and argue over nails that didn’t even last a day. Some customers choose not to make a scene out of respect, but that doesn’t mean the service was fine. Also, you had the time to “check the camera and the voice” instead of just apologizing and fixing the issue? That says a lot. I paid $70 before tip for a natural color that didn’t even last a day. Honestly, I think a lot of their five-star reviews are because they give 10% off if you leave one. Definitely not worth it.

I went in to Sahara as a walk-in because I was looking for a nail spot and it was close to home. The shop itself is clean, organized, and pretty, with a clearly laid out menu of services and a nice selection of books from which to choose colors. Everyone working the day I went in was very nice, helpful, and accommodating. I had the pleasure of having my nails done by Lynn who, despite me not being sure exactly what it was I needed, was able to offer me guidance to get exactly what I was wanting. Lynn is so friendly, helpful, and gentle as she works. Moreover, her many years of experience have enabled her to do wonderful work. My nails turned out beautifully, and a full two weeks later, I am still so happy with how they look and how they’re holding up. I will absolutely be back to see Lynn for a fill soon, and will happily return to Sahara for any other nail services I may want in the future!

Went in as a walk in. Everything was fine at first. But the entire time does it hurt does it hurt. I get the concern but when I say no I like pain should just stop asking. Idk if the lady doing my nails was new but I showed her over 10 times the length I wanted. They are too long. None of the nails are the same length and they're all crooked. None of them are shaped the same. It looks as if my nails were done about a week ago. The French tip, they're all crooked none of them look the same. Anyways wasn't worth the 75 bucks. Plus the tip. It looks great far away but not close up. The constant saying my name and are you happy over and over again. I just wanted to listen to my music and chill but constantly being asked something or people coming over and watching. I wont be returning.

Great service! Super cute nails I love them. There was like barely any wait and the ppl were very sweet. Great price and location. Would come back again

I’ve been here about 4 times now. I met Julie who is awesome, but everyone I’ve met here is really nice. I’ll continue to go here. The salon is really clean, bright and inviting. The massage chairs work great too! My lower back was sore and after the massage chair, it feels much better! An added bonus!
