Beyond Beauty

I have been a regular here for 5 years and find their prices for waxing, manicures, and pedicures to be fair. I have never waited long when walking in and really appreciate how low the staff turnover is.

I’ve been going to Beyond Beauty for my acrylics for over a year now and I always leave happy. I go to Van and she always does a great job and makes sure I leave happy and satisfied. The environment is really nice and there’s always someone who greets you when you walk in. Prices are average or even better than some salons.

I went to this salon for the first time, I was impressed how quickly they sat me in a chair. Everyone was very friendly and the prices are good. Best of all… they served me a glass of wine !!! I will go back,

I have been going to this salon for 2 – 3 years now and I usually get shellac although I have gotten two pedicures there and know others who have as well. They also do hair, waxing and tanning but I’ve never used those services.
The people are nice – I think. Someone is always prompt with acknowledging you when you walk in the door. Sometimes there’s a bit of a wait before getting to see someone but not usually. When I bring in my mom they recognize her and ask how she’s doing. They are always accomodating to get me in, once staying open past their usual close because I had to get my nails done before a trip and I’d arrived to the salon late.
The salon overall is a large space so that’s nice because the chemical smell from the nail products is usually pretty good – it’s still there but usually not overpowering like it can be in smaller salons.
They have approximately 5 or 6 massage pedi chairs for adults and two kid ones with DVD players. Like I mentioned before I’ve only had 2 pedi’s there so the first time the chair was fine but the second time I was in a different chair and it’s massage function was broken. Also, the water for both experiences was lukewarm at best. My final «complaint» is that sometimes they don’t have enough toe dividers so they have once used scrunched up paper towels in between my toes – which is functional but not «classy.» However the rest of my pedi experiences was good – they do a good job with the actual pedi and the next time I want to treat myself to a pedi I will go back to them I’m sure.
As for the manicures… overall I like my manicures here. I get shellac and usually they last for about 3 weeks. Lately I’ve noticed they aren’t holding up as well though so I wonder if they’ve changed to an inferior product. Most of the time I like the shape, etc… some of them need more coaching then others. I have been cut a little to close once when a manicurist was overly enthusiastic about my cuticles.
A previous reviewer mentioned something about banned substances but I don’t get acrylics or solar nails so I can’t comment on that.
Overall I like Beyond Beauty and will keep going there for my manicures and pedicures.

Do not go here for Acrylic or Solar nails! They used a banned substance on my nails called MMA. This stuff is bad news. It is banned for use on nails by the FDA. They only use it because it is soooo cheap to buy compared to the products a tech is supposed to buy. But, it does ruin your nails — sometimes permanently, it can cause serious health problems, and its nearly impossible to remove by soaking alone. It would take at least two, maybe three hours for it to even get a bit soft. If this is what you have, then you need to go to a reputable salon, with highly experienced techs, and have them filed off. I did not know this and I went back to Beyond Beauty and they simply used nippers and pryed them off, ruining my natural nails in the process and caused me a lot of pain too. Soaking alone will NOT take MMA off your nails. This is a link to more info. I wish someone would have warned me about MMA before I went to Beyond Beauty.
