Channelside Nail Salon

"Minh provided a FABULOUS manicure service that left me feeling like a new person. The salon is so clean, comfy, and cordial. I also was able to squeeze in a last minute eyebrow wax! Thank you, Channelside Nail Salon!"

"I walked in and the first thing she asked me is did I live in the area and proceeded to do my nails I blatantly ignored the ignorance of her question I guess you can clearly tell what skin color I am by now. Anyways, I ignored my feelings of offense and Let her continue to do my nails. She began to suggest using a different acrylic of some sort on my fingers which I had no idea about and because I was used to the regular acrylic. I told her I would prefer to stick to it. She then said it was just $10 more. I said well, how much is the whole thing anyways she said $80 for short nails. I never even asked a price anyways because I didn’t care. I still told her to just stick with the regular acrylic because I do not know what product that was that she wanted to use and I was not used to it and I would prefer to stick to my regular acrylic. After I said, so, she proceeded to say that next time I come, I should bring more money with me so that she can do it. At this point, I was really in awe And not in the best way I was shocked at what she was saying right next to another customer. I responded with a subtle it’s not about the not having enough, I just said I would like to stick to my regular acrylic after she tried multiple times to get me to use that product of hers and I declined. She finally gave up. I left without leaving a tip because this was just blatant racism and I am not from America, so I am not obsessed with black or white but I do know racism when I see it and blatant stereotypical behavior, and I hope no one else experience this -1/10 experience. She assumed I didn’t have enough money in my pocket when I walked in and she assumed that I wasn’t from this area because of the skin color I had and she made multiple other comments but I Don’t want to make this a very long paragraph. I just want to say in all of this, I did keep my cool and responded in silence, and walked out."

"As a walk in, I was told they had time to take me for a pedicure. I waited for 40 minutes before being seen by anyone. The pedicure was average. They were not transparent with pricing and I later found out the foot file was an extra charge (this is typically included in the cost of a pedicure). They cut my fiancés cuticle and caused it to bleed during his pedicure. There are better nail salons in the area."

"The experience was amazing. I got a pedicure and full set and was helped immediately. My nails came out better than I could have ever imagined. Phenomenal service! Thank you!!"

"Had prior good experiences here but today I came in for a fill and was charged $90 for a really basic set. I understood chrome was $15 extra and I agreed to that but $90 plus tip was just absolutely ridiculous for this set. I asked for a receipt to kind of understand what the break down of the bill was and was handed a piece of paper that said $90. I don’t mind paying for great nails but this is just crazy. I probably won’t come back after this."
