Service: Haircut, hair coloring, and glossing treatment
I’ve been seeing Binita for over a year for haircut, color, and a glossing treatment, and I’ve always had a really positive experience. My hair has definitely improved and the results last a long time. She really listens to what I want and also suggests what she thinks is good for my hair, and she doesn’t push cutting when I don’t want it. Booking is super easy - I usually just text her, and it’s also easy to book through Fresha or something.

Service: Mariana mostly does my gel nails and also takes care of my ingrown toenails
Finding someone who can expertly handle my ingrown toenails was a relief, and Mariana does an exceptional job. Her attention to detail with gel nails leaves me more than satisfied, with designs that always exceed my expectations. I deeply miss her talented touch since moving abroad, as she truly is one of the best I've encountered.

Service: Builder gel nails & nail art & pedis
I remember my struggle to find the right nail place when I first moved here, but discovering Dez was a game-changer. Ever since my first visit, I've been going every month, delighted by their insane selection of colors and designs. Sandra and her team make every visit pleasant, and even when I had an issue, they promptly fixed it, which really impressed me.

Service: Nail service and hair coloring at GX Bar beauty salon
I used GX Bar for nails, coloring, and kanekalon with my baby girl, and all time it was very good. The salon is clean, she listened to what I wanted, the hair color was very good, and they keep my hair healthy and make all good service. It’s easy to communicate and they have an application, so it’s easy to make an appointment, choose the stylist and time, and see the price. Price is very good for me and I highly recommend.

Service: Japanese-style dry pedicure performed by manicurist Sandra
I had a Japanese style dry pedicure with Sandra, my first time doing that style, and I really, really liked it. She greeted me warmly in her own little space, told me what she was going to do, coordinated before I got there, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. She was kind and gentle, did really good work, and it was a damn good pedicure. She also recommended non-toxic stuff like nail polish removers, and at 45 euro it felt like a good deal.
