Radiance Beauty Lounge

Woke up this morning and felt like getting pampered! I am so happy I chose radiance beauty lounge. I found them on the Unilocal app…:) called and immediately they answered and fit me into their schedule. The best part is they open on Sunday’s and the price is right. It was a little odd because usually nail salons I’ve been to were mainly Asians however this salon was Latinos! Not that it matters however it was just unique. I paid $ 35.00 for a regular mani and pedi. They also do other services and the pricing is very good when compared to other places in the area. The person that answered the phone was very friendly. The location is perfect and convenient especially if you live in the downtown area. Also there is free parking… if you chose to drive if not hop on the metro mover and walk up a couple blocks or take the trolley bus which is free and it drops off in front the lounge. The girl that attended to me was Jessica, she was awesome! Very rare I find someone that do my nails the way I like… she was very professional, friendly and did an excellent job. Very neat!!! She did a great job cleaning my cuticles and massage as well the lounge itself was clean which is priority for me. Additionally, the lounge did not smell of chemicals which is another plus! I hate going into a nail salon and inhaling nasty chemicals! I cannot wait to get pampered again… I am a person that is always on the go and I don’t like to spend too long in one place… could be a downside to that but that’s me so the staff at radiance told me if i don’t want to wait around let them know in advance and they can have two people work on me at the same time to be out within a shorter timeframe. Although just admit it felt great to relax today and converse with these lovely ladies in the lounge today. Great conversations! Now that’s customer service! Looking forward to coming back for services. Lastly, you can also purchase clothing and swimwear…(from Brazil)…I couldn’t resist and purchased an item.

Love this place :) the staff was super nice and my nails look great.

Decent. Not good w timing but the girls who work here are nice.

My acrylics were amazing and my hair looked great! Amazing atmosphere! Very detailed and polite. I felt very comfortable.

Brand new staff! I was a little worried but turned out great!

If I could give zero star, I freaking would. What a dump. The only sweet girl is the hairstylist named Janet, she’s the sweetest thing and really cares about her clients. Now, the nail techs. from rude to fucking rudER. they can’t speak English for nothing, talk crap in Spanish in front of your face, talk to each other while «doing «your nails, smack that polish on your nails like a freaking 2 year old then «clean» its surroundings with a Q-​tip.. God forbid you express your dismay! They give you straight attitude and will give it to you every time they’ll see you. Smfh oh and they love to talk on the phone having full blown convos while «working» & you’re sitting there like «umm. seriously? !»

Staff is very nice but the quality of work is very poor. I had gel polish done and the next day it started peeling. The girl didn’t do a good job with the manicure either. Nails did not look like a professional did them, it looked more like a 10 year did my nails. Not happy

Having just moved to Miami I wanted to find a place nearby for mani-​pedi while there were many around I chose this day spa and am I so glad I did. I was a little nervous because of some of the negative reviews but they were AMAZING best pedicure ever. Marilyn was meticulous on my neglected feet. Hand massage was heaven and the staff made me feel welcome so welcome u felt like I was hanging out with friends. It’s important to note that this day spa is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. I highly recommend the fact that it was very reasonably priced was a bonus.

Definitely found my new nail spot. The staff is genuinely concerned with providing excellent customer service. You’ll feel right at home the second you walk through the door!

My new nail spot!!! New owners are super nice! forgot their name, sorry! Always happy when I leave Radiance.

Just moved two blocks over and was sooo excited to have one spot to do my acrylic nails, pedicure, waxing, hair n facials. I mean hundreds of dollars a month. But the nail technician of which they had only 1 free, totally was drilling my nails sooo hard for my refill that it was grinding my real nail bed! I first felt it and commented, I’m no wimp I’m from NYC but then each nail was being grinded in pain! I literally stopped after one hand and yelled for the manager. They explained that they never had a complaint before n that to come back on the weekend! What? No other technician? Today is Wed. Ummm good bye. I walked out with half hand drilled nails! Why would I embarrass myself n do that? Went to Florida nails n they sadly laughed at how bad my nails were.

Had a mani pedi by a really sweet Ukrainian girl a couple months ago. She was very gentle and I loved that she asked me about whether I wanted my cuticles cut or just pushed back. Major kudos for that since I’m against having my cuticles cut. The reasons I took two stars off is because she didn’t file the ridges off of my nails or toes, she didn’t scrub the dead skin from my feet, and the water that was used to soak my nails and feet was COLD! I didn’t say anything when she brought a bowl of cold water for my nails but when she got the bath ready for my feet, I had to say it was cold because I was in an air conditioned building and I was getting goose bumps by that. She told me that was the hottest the water was, so not her fault but maybe they didn’t pay their hot water bill.??

So, I’m not one to complain, but I was really unhappy with the cost and results of my last visit. I wanted to get acrylic nails with a French tip. When I first got there, they saw me 30 minutes after my appointment. There was only one poor girl doing nails, while everyone else stood around. She was not very experienced and after more than 2 hours my nails came out cheap and uneven. It’s two days later and already three of my nails have fallen off. My advice is don’t come here if you want acrylics done right.

I just moved to Miami and this was my real haircut since I moved. I knew I had to go to a real salon since I was getting a major chunck of hair cut (I was donating my hair) that said, I had to get a real haircut (bob, pixie, or something similar)
I found Radiance online, searching for hair salons near my job since I really wanted to do it asap! Most of their reviews were for mani/​pedi and those were ok. I still decided to give them a shot and made an appointent for my cut.
The salon is big and they do it all! I was greeted by 2 ladies and they seated me right away. My hair stylist was Janet — remember that name! I told her I was going to donate my hair so I was going for a short style (I showed her picts of the bob I wanted) She braided my hair nicely and asked me if the 12 inches of braid were OK for her to cut (I freaked out a little after seeing all that hair) I was decided to do it so she went right in. She told me «the bob» was her favorite haircut and she got inspired!!! She cut a little bit while it was dry, I got my shampoo and conditioner and then she cut a little more.
She was quick but precise, she knew what she was doing and did it with passion! She styled my hair just like the picture I showed her (mine was a little shorter because of the fact I was donating) I left the salon feeling very pretty and loving my cut. It’s been about 3 weeks since I went and I loveeee my hair!!!
Janet told me that I could come back any time to get it trimmed and keep my cut. I will surely go back to get future cuts with her!!!

As a guy with a comb over styled hair. Yanet the hair stylist surely knows her technique and always listens to what the customer has to say. Consults also with what you can do with your hair and what is best for products on your hair as well. Definitely coming back for as long as she is here working at radiance beauty lounge. $ 15 for men

I absolutely LOVED the salon and staff. I felt right at home! I walked in to get my hair done and ended up getting a manicure and pedicure and calling my friend who also came to get her nails done! I have recommended this place to other girls I know in the neighborhood. The prices are great, not the cheapest in the area (there are thee other hair and nails salons in a 5 minute walking radius) but with it is definitely worth it. Very simple, non-​luxurius layout and also very clean. Will def. go back. Loved Mariela and Yanet (sorry if aI mispelled!). They even brought me water, olives & cheese, shared fresh sliced mango they purchased from a fruit vendor, and brought me tea while I was in the pedi/​massage chair. Thanks ladies for a lovely afternoon!

I was hoping this could be my new go-​to nail place since I moved close by in this area, but I will definitely not be returning. This salon always looks closed, so I read the posted hours online and poked in one afternoon for a mani/​pedi. It was dead quiet and two ladies just looked at me, not saying a word, then a man walked out and greeted me. I asked if they were open, he hesitated, then said yes. He told me that the nail tech was almost done and I could take a seat to wait. The ONE nail tech in the salon, had JUST started a pedicure that lasted 30minutes.
Annoying. I waited anyways.
When I got my mani/​pedi the nail tech was really rough and clipped my cuticles too close not once, but three times! There was blood! I was horrified. I could barely use one of my fingers for a few days after the service, to the point that I was almost certain I had contracted a flesh eating bacteria and was going to die. Luckily, I am alive today to warn you all to stay far away.

I recently moved in the area and I am on my search for a place that does a decent job on manicure/​pedicure. It’s been a month and a half and so far no luck.
— This place is (loved this expression, so I am going to use it) deader than Marilyn Monroe
— The manicurist was 50 min late, even though, credit to them, they called me to come 20 min later.
— The job was very average, when I, accidentally messed messed up one of the nails, the manicurist covered it with a layer of nail polish making it look like a 6yo gilr did my nails.
— There was a promotion on the window saying manicure+pedicure $ 25 Mon-​Wed — when I asked for it, she said it’s another manicurist and she is not there — what is the point of having a promotion on the window, when it only applies to one manicurist who is not there when the promotion is on (today is Tue)

I came here with my friend for a facial. The aesthetician was excellent. The music was relaxing and the room that the room that the service was performed in was very neat and tidy. The service was very relaxing and my skin was shining afterwards. She only did a few extractions on my forehead.
Now, this review is only for the service that I received. The salon itself offers nail services and haircare. The set-​up is a little less than polished but I would certainly come back for the facial.

I usually get my facials at the Viceroy spa as it is in my building but since Carmen is on leave for the rest of the year, I decided to try somewhere new. Also, I wasn’t really trying to spend $ 150+ on a facial with extractions, and that’s WITH my resident discount.
I ventured over to Radiance Beauty Lounge and was pleasantly surprised. It is a lot different than the VIceroy spa but I was just interested in a facial and not the expensive spa to accompany it. The woman who did my facial was super nice and made sure that I felt comfortable throughout the entire facial.
The room was actually pretty nice! The temperature, lighting, and music were perfect. The facial itself was great. She used the same machines that Viceroy uses and the next day my acne significantly went down.
What a bang for my buck. When I say that it was a fraction of the cost that Viceroy charges, it is still an understatement. I will definitely be back to Radiance Beauty Lounge for all my facial needs.
