Presley Laurent Salon & Spa

So I’m sitting at the gas station reading about the severe thunderstorm warnings for my destination on my phone. I need to kill some time to allow the storm to pass. I’m not hungry… Not interested in shopping… I really, really want a haircut. What are the odds a place nearby is open and has a stylist available? Fire up the Unilocal app and the first place I call can take me! This is 7:00 PM, they close at 8:00. I meet Myanna, who listens intently as I explain my wishes. She asks a couple of questions, tells me what she would like to do, I agree, and voila! One of the best cuts I’ve ever had! I usually don’t return to a Solon I visit on the fly like this, but I will return to see Myanna.

D. K did an amazing job. I’ll be back for sure. The color change gel does a very cool ombré effect Thank you!

I am new to the area and have finally found my go-​to nail salon. I had Kelly do my nails the first time and they were fabulous. The polish lasted for over 2 weeks, all because she recommended she recommended Infinity OPI as opposed to just the regular nail polish. I do not like gel manicures, as it hurts my nails, but the Infinity line is right up my alley. It’s applied and removed like regular nail polish, but lasts just as long as gel manicures.
The reason I give this four stars is that the second time I went, I had someone other than Kelly who did my nails in a bit of a rush and my nails weren’t as well done. However, they do ask if you request someone for your appointment when you call to schedule. From now on, I’ll always ask for Kelly!

Presley Laurent is definitely my favorite salon. I’ve gotten my nails done here multiple times and each time they end up looking perfect! Kelly is my go to when I get my nails done, from regular manis to acrylics! Definitely check it out if you get a chance! :)

For hair stylist ask for MyAnna. She’s amazing! She has done my hair for more than 10 years now! Before I had to drive to McLean just to get my hair done by her. I couldn’t be more happy when found out she’s now working at this salon much closer to home!

I went to Tam for a haircut and 2 of the girls to get my nails done and all of them did an amazing job!!! Highly recommend this place!

I made an appointment here after reading a positive review from a Face Book post. First off, this is not a walk in salon, don’t walk in with two of your friends and expect an appointment with the owner, especially because you already called twice and was told that he wasn’t available at the time you wanted. Don’t then proceed to yell at the receptionist and demand she rearrange his schedule to fit you and your friends in. Yes, I witnessed this bad behavior while getting my hair cut with Tristin, who is awesome! She knows her stuff and was very knowledgeable on now to fix my hair after it was burnt from an over processed color job at another salon. This is hands down the best haircut I’ve ever received! She listened to what I wanted and followed through. I have never ever made my next haircut appointment before leaving a salon, but I did today! My hair looks and feels great!

This salon is fabulous. It is spacious, clean and designed so you have a bit of privacy.
Tao is amazing. I get so many compliments from other nail technicians when they see my nails. She cares about what she does and it shows in the final product.

Love love Tam!!! I’ve been searching for a great stylist and viola! Look no further! Tam used to be in Tysons Corner and we are blessed to have his talents here in Gainesville. You simply won’t be disappointed.

I called in on my way home to see if they had any time to do my nails after reading the amazing reviews on Unilocal.They set me up with Katie for a shellac manicure and she was SO thorough! I even commented on her attention to detail throughout my appointment. I waited to write a review to see how my shellac held up over time because I’ve experienced peeling from other salons. This is not the case at all and I’m so happy! I’m definitely making a trip back to see Katie.

I just finished getting a manicure and pedicure with Christina and I feel like I am walking on clouds! She is the best and her customer service is second to none. The place is well decorated and very clean. I definitely recommend this and I am a guy! Thank you Christina for making my day perfect!

I’ve been to this salon for a mani/​pedi a few times. I love the décor and really want to love this place but the quality is just not there. Each and every time I have gotten gel nails, the polish chips in less than 5 days. My daughter has had the same experience.

The salon is very clean and the workers are friendly. Most importantly, the workers are precise, pay attention to detail, and do a great job. I’ve been here twice now and will be returning. My first mani/​pedi was with Kelly who paid great attention to every detail and my gel nails came out flawless. I returned to get my gel nails removed and Katie took great care of me. She preserved my natural nails and took her time with my manicure. She’s extremely friendly and easy to talk to. Ask for Katie! Will definitely be back!

1. If you’re getting a pedicure ask for Johnny he is amazing!!!
2. It’s byob. Really how could it not get 5 stars
3. EVERYONE is amazingly friendly and helpful! The salon is clean and the products they use smell awesome!
I had the organic spa pedicure and the hour+ I spent in the chair being pampered was top notch! Love this place and can’t wait to come back!

I went in on Saturday after I had made an appt for the afternoon. Upon walking in, it’s clean and nicely designed. All of the people working there were very kind and friendly.
I really enjoyed my manicure/​pedicure. It was probably the best spa pedicure that I’ve ever gotten. Johnny did my mani/​pedi and I wouldn’t hesitate to return to him. He was very thorough with my feet, very friendly and did a nice polish. My manicure was nice and the polish held up well. My only big complaint is that the brand of polish I chose isn’t awesome. I had never used it before, I’ve actually never seen it before. It is almost too thin, so my toenails don’t look as awesome as they do a week after a pedicure and could probably use a polish change. I’ve never had that happen before. I also wish they had vinylux as an option and not just Gel. I did like the salon a lot, though, and will return again.

This place is a hidden gem! I wish I found this sooner before moving away.
The salon is spacious and CLEAN! There are plenty of pedicure chairs and they are spaced out perfectly so that you don’t feel on top of the people next to you.
Kelly did my mani/​pedi and eyebrow wax — everything was amazing minus the massage. She took great care of my toes and even got out my ingrown toenails. My feet have never felt so soft! The massage was way too soft and short — and the rubber gloves against skin doesn’t feel so great either. My manicure was absolutely perfect! She took the time to make sure my gel polish was sealed with the top coat and she didn’t get any on my skin! My eyebrows look great — not shaped by at least they aren’t a mess like they were!
The price was reasonable and the big bonus — THEY SPEAK ENGLISH and do NOT talk amongst themselves in their language so you don’t feel awkward and you can actually understand them when they speak to you and they are well mannered too! I will definitely come back here when I am in town.

Very arrogant! Did the opposite of what I wanted. You feel like just another number! I will never return! I advise against this place. Betsy seems nice and like she knows what she’s doing. If you go ask for her.

Kelly is awesome. She took good care of my nails and was big on the details. I really love my nails.

Presley Laurent Salon and Spa is a breath of fresh air amidst all of the Gainesville/​Haymarket growing pains taking place. I have been going to the same nail salon in the area for well over 5 years, unfortunately complacency set in on the part of my manicurist so it was time to make a change. At Presley’s, Kelly not only heard what I wanted done she actually listened to me. I loved the fact that there was interaction between the clients and the providers. It’s a clean environment where switching out nail equipment such as cuticle nippers isn’t out of the ordinary but just the right thing to do. This way you know what they use on you wasn’t used on any previous clientele. I would recommend this salon and Kelly without hesitation!

I really loved my experience at Presley Laurent. I was walking by and decided to make an appointment for a manicure and a blowout the next day. They were really accommodating!
I ended up also getting a brow wax, which turned out great and I loved the chairs they have in that room. It was much more comfortable than most salons. Afterwards I had a consult with the woman that owns the place and she pointed me in the right direction for my manicure.
I loved how she took her time and paid attention to the small details when she did my nails. The whole process was really clean and enjoyable – it’s nice to have a conversation when you’re having your nails done!
Afterwards her husband gave me my blowout, the whole time giving me tips and tricks to keep it looking nice for my bridal shower the next day. He made some recommendations and I walked out of there feeling great!
I was offered a beverage and was kept comfortable for the short amount of time I waited, and I can just say that overall I really liked the experience.
One of my favorite things about it is that it is BOTH a hair and nail salon – not just a hair salon that will accommodate a manicure or two. The salon is set up with a circular layout in the middle, with several nail stations and up-​to-​date technology. It was very neat and clean in there. On the outside circle were the hair setups, and it was nice to get my hair done in some natural light – there are windows everywhere.
Overall I have to say it’s my new favorite place! The staff is super friendly and knowledgable and the place is up to date, clean, and nicely setup for all kinds of pampering!
