Kenedee Renee Menefee Cindy is a breath of fresh air in the hair styling community. We struggled for so long trying to find a hairstylist that could give my grandma a manageable hairstyle once she had reached the point of fully gray hair and the texture of her hair changed so drastically. We went through so many stylists and so many different haircuts only to realize after the first wash post salon service, it looked the very same as before: rough texture, feather light to the point where it would just blow all over the place. It looked as if she had not even had it cut. But then she spent some time at Windsor Gardens Rehabilitation and Cindy works there cutting residents hair. She immediately found a cute and still on the edgy side (definitely not a Granny hairstyle) that looks great on my grandma. And the best part? Its completely wash and go when need be. Or if time permits, Ill blow dry it for her with a round brush sometimes to get more of a polished look. Add a small amount of flexible hold hair spray to hold the volume and were good to go. It works both ways. Now that my grandma is home I take her to Cindys shop probably around once a month for a maintenance trim. Shes a game changer. A problem solver in the cosmetology world. We are so greatful to have found her!

Arch theArch The owner is kind and sweet. Have known since 2012 and she has been one great inspiration to me when I was in HS. Never have I forgotten her consejos ♥️ Thank you.

Melissa Miranda Had my brows done by Jessica combination brows. I was nervous at first but it was actually not bad did NOT hurt it was painless and relaxing I fell asleep a bit. Jessica is amazing makes your visit so relaxing, welcoming and comforting. Thank you so much!

Perez mfamily Came highly recommended from peers at work. Pre-Paid for micro blading with shading. During the consultation decided shading was not me (too bold) as I like a more natural look. I was told the money I paid would cover the touch up. I felt she rushed during my appointment as she had another engagement to get to. I felt my eyebrow’s suffered, as a result one was great and the other was not as detailed. Tried to make an appointment for the touch up however, was told I would have to make an additional payment. It felt wrong to have to pay more on top of what I already paid. In the end I decide it was not worth paying more for service I was not happy with. I followed all of her after care instructions and even so the work faded and is almost gone. It been about a year since I had it done. I know it’s something that can happen and I don’t blame the technician. I’m mentioning it so you can be aware that it happens EVEN if you follow the instructions. Hope this helps as you are deciding to pay $$$ for the service. In fairness my coworkers eyebrows are very nice and they got the micro-blading and shadowing.

astra apsitis Jessica is a highly skilled professional - her work is of the highest caliber. I especially appreciate that my lashes look so natural (and get so many compliments). She is also very kind and friendly - she gets my highest recommendation!

Stephanie Topete I love my brows! Jessica is amazing. She was able to get my brows to retain color after a couple failed attempts elsewhere. I was lucky in that my skin held the color well so my touch up was minimal- booking online was a breeze- her pricing and requirements were very clear on her site and my consultation only made me feel even more confident I chose the right person for me. For reference I received micro blade with no shading as well as a brow lamination prior. My brows are fluffy and exactly what I wanted.

Bianca Cobarrubias I went 9 days ago to get a gel manicure and the nail polish started coming off from a nail the next day. Now, three of my nails are like that. The lady who did them seemed to be in a rush. On a positive note, the place is very clean, spacious and nice.

Emilee Stark Went to Elegant 7 Nails as a walk-in and was immediately seated and helped. I had Minh as my nail tech and she was awesome! She paid attention to detail and did exactly what I requested. She was super accommodating when I wanted to change the shape a little bit and make them shorter even after she had started. Minh also made sure to get everything exactly right. She did some trial and error with the colors and designs on one nail until she got it just right! Then she did the rest of my nails the same. I truly appreciate how she took the time to make my nails exactly how I wanted for halloween! Definitely will be coming back.

maria lopez My first time coming here and I loved the service and the work. Henry did my nails and he did amazing he was very attentive to detail and took his time to perfect the shape and art.

Christina Ng Called to see if they had time for a walk-in and they did. They weren’t busy on a Sunday around lunchtime which was perfect for me since I never plan ahead. Quoted $40 for gel manicure on the phone. I came in wanting a certain color had a photo on my phone. One person was confident what color it was and it came out perfectly. It’s a perfect match if you can see from the side by side photo. Plenty of parking available. Color: Bubble bath with chrome on top. Chrome was extra $10. Hoping it will last me 2 weeks because I love the color.

Stephanie Dominguez I made an appointment because I felt like my eyebrows were too big and bushy. Julissa said they just need a little shape to them. Once my appointment was complete I had more arch and shape to my brows and Julissa even took the time to teach me how to pencil in my brows! Can’t wait to go back to see her in February! She was very kind!

regina alaniz Friendly and welcoming as soon as I stepped into the shop. Julissa was professional but with a personal touch. Definitely going back for more services.

Patricia Alvarez Julissa did an amazing job on my brows. She is a true artist, as she made me look rested and a better version of myself.

Ana Manzur Julissa is the best and I havent loved my eyebrows this much ever! I will forever be loyal to the Refinery.

Kristin Waters Julissa was fantastic! She was welcoming and fun, and I love my brows! ❤️

angel I love coming here. Great, friendly & professional people! I love how they do my nails…no clumps, do many designs, are always gentle, they pay attention to detail & know their craft. It was my first time ever getting a pedicure done by someone else & I loved it. Traveling from 30 min away is worth it because of the service & reasonable prices :)

Robert Smith My sister has been there and she said they were great! She loved her nails and they lasted a long time.

Aya Babyy Hannah did my pedicure for me. I loved my experience here. She was gentle and did a beautiful job on my feet! She took her time, and I loved it. I will definitely be coming back! I got the deluxe package, ugh my feet and legs feel amazing! The massage chair was a plus! Ahah.

Wendy I Great service. It’s sad that they don’t get as much foot traffic because it’s behind the bowling alley. But their work is really good! Great place to relax while they do a pedicure. Manicure as well. Pricing is reasonable. Very welcoming people!

Laura Elena Padilla Great service! Love coming here

Elisa Ramos They do hair cut and hair color. I feel new every time I come out of there. My hair looks great, healthy, and manageable. They care about your hair the way you care. I love this place. Its like a barber shop but for ladies! Lol. I enjoy talking with them.

SILVIA No other stylist had ever made me blonde in one sitting until I came to get my hair done by Esperanza. She knows what shes doing. I 100% recommend & guarantee!

Jacqueline Gonzalez Always have excellent results. Owner and other stylist are very professional and very friendly. Pera has been my hair stylist for more than 15 years and trust her blindly with my hair requirements. Highly recommend Beauty Clinic.

Andre Cook Wonderful staff and they do great work!

Jennifer Helgeson They did a great job on my nails when they arent rushed... the gal who waxed my eyebrows was amazing it was my 1st time and it was smooth sailing

Tim Kelley I’ve been going to this salon for years. The last three pedicure visits I was stuck with the gentleman (who’s name I can’t recall) and the pedicure was underwhelming. His heart is just not in it. He goes through the motions and the end result is okay, but for $40 plus tip I expect more.

Denise A Reasonably priced ($45 for a regular mani pedi), lots of parking, open on Saturdays, and great customer service. I appreciate that the place is well ventilated and doesnt smell of chemicals. While they take walk ins, I recommend calling ahead. On occasion they book up and arent able to take walk ins. Credit cards are accepted.

Esmeralda Bravo Took me in last minute! Tim was very knowledgeable and did a great job on my set. He took his time to get everything perfect, will be coming back for a fill!

tori kumre They are under new ownership (for those of you that don’t know) and this is my second time back after a referral and I am so grateful to have found a nail tech who specializes in unique nail art. At the end of my first appointment, I couldn’t wait to come back for my next set. I get a fill and pedicure every time and these ladies are SO thorough, attentive, and kind. I am so relaxed in the environment they create, and always greeted with a warm welcome!! Thank you so much for making my day and taking my insane nail requests. I get so many compliments!!

Jassmyn Contreras Amazing job, friendly staff. They took the time to get my nails looking beautiful! Would definitely come back again. And they definitely take in walk ins.

Karena Sapiro Probably the best pedicure and manicure I’ve ever had, and they welcomed me with open arms as a walk-in with my ginormous service dog

Scarlitte Gorgeous nails done at Tulip. Pink cat eye with pink hearts for Valentines day. Fast and pretty. Time for me to go back!

R Debb (Debb) Kelly transformed my hands. I decided I needed to pay the price ND take the time to have my nails done professionally. Its amazing how having ones nails groomed can lift a person up!

MC H Best service. Hand powder manicure and gel pedicure. Kelly and Mae are super friendly and efficient. Took her time to make sure powder was pigmented enough. Pedicure was nice and relaxing. Felt so comfortable and taken care of, 10/10 recommend.

Jennifer Jones What a great place , very professional and friendly . A little pricey but for once I can say it was worth it!!Highly recommend and looking forward to my next service which was a manicure and had my eyebrows waxed which all was done by Kelly!

Misty Blue Love this place! Kelly is great and does fantastic work. Will definitely be back.

Dena Covington Kelly does an absolutely amazing job on your nails. She can also add freestyle designs. Beautiful work every time I go.
