Sol Y Luna Spa

I am updating my review because tonight, barely 3 days after getting my gel manicure, it is completely coming off! What a waste of $ 30 + tip!

Came for two waxing services and I was in and out in 15 minutes! Amazing results!!! Will definitely come back again.

I came to this salon because it is part of the City’s Healthy Nail Salon program, which means it doesn’t smell or give you a headache when you’re in there because they don’t use the nasty chemicals that are harmful to workers and customers.
I got a mani/​pedi from Allison and Jade and really liked the work they did. They were gentle and meticulous. They use a warm lavender lotion for the arm and leg massage, which was literally a nice touch. The salon is super clean and the owners are really nice and friendly and you can tell they take pride in their business. I recommend making an appointment and coming early in the morning if you can as they are pretty busy all day long.

Ok. Not great. My search continues for a great nail salon (close to my house!) Why is it so hard? That does great gel manis and good, thorough pedicures. My gel lifted in about 1 week. Also, she messed up on two fingers and didn’t fix it after I told her twice. They werent very shiny after and started looking dull a few days later. Not cool. Not meticulous. And i’m really not that picky. But I don’t like bubbles in my nails after paying $ 30 to get them done! No massage. They were nice. Seems clean and organized. Owner talked too much and asked too many personal questions. I really don’t like that and go there to relax. Not answer what I do and where I live… Might give them another shot as they are close. But overall, not that impressed. Meh.

This 5-​star review is long overdue. I’ve been coming to Alison for years now, and I won’t go anywhere else for a sugar wax. Alison is the absolute best. She’s meticulous, professional, and extremely fast. Amazing!

Review for Brazilian sugar.
Allison is AMAZING & super sweet. She combines different techniques depending on your «needs”/ amount of hair removal. It’s been a while so, For me, she used this type of wax in one particular area (which I’ve never had before! –it’s not sugar but it’s a type of wax that doesn’t use strips), sugaring, & threading for stubborn little baby hairs.
I was done & out the door in less than 15 minutes. Great price too! $ 45 if you have cash, $ 50 for card. Mind you, if you’ve got a little extra going on down there that requires more attention… they’ll charge like $ 10 extra.
No matter where you go, hair removal is gonna be somewhat painful. BUT, Allison is definitely quick & tries to make you as comfortable as possible. Been to quite a few different places & this is by far my favorite.

I came to Alison because I needed a Brazilian wax for my Vegas trip for Halloween. Hands down, I think she’s the best when it comes to waxing. Not only is Alison really fast and great at what she does, she makes you feel comfortable with ZERO awkwardness lol.
Within the 8 – 10 minute session that we had, she jumped right in and got the job done quickly by making me feel at ease. Normally, when I get my waxes done at other places, I’d feel this awkward tension because you’re revealing yourself to a stranger. I did not get that feeling with Alison at all because she was super friendly and funny– that really lowered my guard.
Her combination of wax and sugaring minimized the pain (I was basically a «first-​timer» since it’s been years since I’ve been waxed). I highly recommend Alison to anyone who wants a fast and effective wax.

I love this place!!! My friend recommended this place to get underarm waxing I was so scared but willing to do for the first time. Both ladies were so sweet and friendly. Not once I felt uncomfortable or felt pain! Definitely going back to get my nails and wax done there for now on

My roommate and I visited Sol Y Luna Spa for mani/​pedi. The ladies who did our pedicures did a great job, but a special shout out to Allison who did both of our manicures (one gel/​one regular polish). I have been looking for a nail salon for a while and have had trouble finding a technician who asked how i wanted my nails and did not give me buyers remorse.
The salon also does sugaring/​waxing. I will definitely make my next eyebrow and Brazilian appointments here!
Definitely recommend!!!

So hands down the best nail salon I’ve been to in the city ever… Never had a bikini wax before and Allison was so so so so nice, funny and talkative. It made her easy to trust, and she defiantly knows what she’s doing. She not only uses wax but then uses the sugar to get some finer hairs and then threads to get the stubborn ones and is amazingly quick! Then I got a shellac manicure which I love, it’s so natural and exactly what I wanted. Henry the manager and the rest of the staff were so talkative and friendly. They were so enjoyable to be around and the best part about this salon is they offer facials, I will definitely be returning to try one of those too. Thank you so much!!! One happy girl here!

I love this place. Sugaring and threading is SO much better than strip waxing and tweezers for brazilians. Allison is quick but doesn’t feel like she rushes you. The results? Fantastic. Thank Sol Y Luna! I’ll never leave you.

quick, easy, painless.
Alison and Henry are amazing.

I love this place. Nice people and wonderful service ^^. They worked miracles on my nails haha.

I went in today for my second gel mani and decided to try their threading services. Allison took care of them and did an amazing job!
I’ve only gotten threaded one other time but she was so gentle and I didn’t bleed this time.
As for the gel mani, she took her time to do every layer and even did 4 coats of the polish because the color was not opaque! She was so nice about it and I never felt rushed at all! She even made sure that they were done well and will last me another 3 weeks like my previous mani lasted me!
I’m a happy customer!

OMG! I gave a huge tip for what I thought was a great job but it’s only been an hour my toenail polish is already ruined!!! The girl who did it didn’t check the thickness she applied and it all slid off my toes!!! What the fuck is this!!! I paid for this!!! My fingernails were gel and they look fantastic but this does not make up for the fact that I have gobs of polish on my toes. Unless you get your nails done specifically with Allison, don’t bother. That is, unless you like that gob look.

I can’t live without them! To say that Allison is amazing at what she does would be an understatement.
The eyebrow threading… So precise and fast. She actually listens to what you want and they always come out perfectly. I rather have two caterpillars up there before I let anyone else touch my eyebrows.
The bikini waxing/​sugaring… Can you say spectacular?!! She is so damn fast and leaves everything so smooth. It’s never easy to go through this but shes so fast the pain is minor. Not only does she do a great job but she always has a way to make you feel so comfortable. She knows how to hold a conversation without being overbearing.
And last but not least… THE NAILS!!! I mean, oh my goodness she’s good! She administers the polish so precisely while still being super quick. She always makes sure you leave with the most beautiful nails. My gel manicure usually lasts 2 full weeks with almost no cracks or chips… It never lasts this long when I get them done anywhere else.

I absolutely LOVE this place. I refuse to go anywhere else!!! From sugar, mani pedis and amazing massage I recommend Sol y Luna very highly!

Ladies, I don’t understand how you could go back.
Guy owner-​massage guy is way to loud and comes off perverted.
I went in to get a manicure and they sat me in a pedicure chair (awkward)!
Lady was rude, turned down 3 designs I wanted.
Its 2015 step your nail game up.
Never going back, and don’t understand how they have repeat customers!
TERRIBLE!

The longest lasting gel Mani I’ve ever had for an extremely good price. Took us late on a Sunday, perfect place

It was easy to make an appointment beforehand. So glad they’re open on Sundays!
Henry the manager is friendly — especially in terms of greeting customers and giving off this positive vibe. Allison — she is super friendly (very easy to talk to) as well. I got waxing done and threading of my eyebrows (the latter for $ 15).
In addition, they have nail services (mani — including gel and pedi). They accept credit cards (with a minimum of $ 25). And, street parking.
I went back for a mani (French tips via gel) + pedi… I really liked how Alison applied SUNSCREEN onto my hands before starting the gel mani! Henry did an awesome job w/​the pedi = my toes felt happy! Note, they carry the new line of OPI polishes = Infinite Shine — «intense, gel-​like shine that lasts until you take it off.» This new line includes a prime coat + the intended nail lacquer color + top coat. I picked a color from this line for my toenails.
Regarding the gel mani… Just THREE DAYS LATER, a few chips appeared on the French tips = not cool! Anyway, I won’t ever get a gel mani from them again — though I’ll return for other services (non-​gel, eyebrow threading).
