Dani Salon

Came here for the first time since it was nearby my home. I wanted an acrylic removal. First off she was aggressive after clearly seeing me in pain. First nail she took the acrylic off it started bleeding due to ripping off my actual nail. Didn’t say sorry or tend to it. She kept going really aggressive, I actually jerked a couple of times but she kept tugging at my fingers. I wanted to get up and walk out but didn’t want to walk out with lopsided nails. So I sat thru the whole thing. Told her to just remove the Polish and I’ll wait for my nails to grow and cut it off myself b/​c it hurted so bad but she insisted to try and try to take it off and of course made another finger bleed. Oh and she also said «whoever did my nails, did it wrong. That’s why it’s bleeding!» Don’t know if it’s true or not but I have never felt that much pain at a salon. After she was finished i had to ask her for band-​aids b/​c she didn’t seem to care it was bleeding. Never coming back.

I decided to try this place because it looked nice. But I was very disappointed two hours later & the lady helping me finally finished my set of acrylic. & don’t even try paying with your card, they don’t even know how to work the machine while I was there they over charged a lady 22 dollars. & they didn’t give her a refund just a certificate.

Came here on Sunday afternoon with my mom. We weren’t greeted until 5 minutes after we arrived. The lady that did my nails spoke to me once, asking me if I wanted gel on my nails. 4 more clients walked in and she started rushing on my nails. «Paint job» was bad. Nails are a bit thick. One nail already chipped because a excess blob was left on the side of my nail. One of the nails is already lifting. Was just overall not satisfied, given the fact that they were $ 25 just for a full set of nails with black nail polish on them. Giving two stars because my mom got her eyebrows done and they came out good.

This will be short. I’m not picky about. Where I get my pedicures but this place was so below my average experience I had to write a review. I soaked my feet in cold water. She did not take my old nail polish off before starting to apply new nail polish. I can still see my nail after she applied the new polish

Hanson is the only reason I get my nails done here. Great job for cheap price !! So if you walk in make sure you wait for him ! :)

Shitty customer service, brought my sister in law for a mani and pedi for her wedding day. The guy was short staff so he took forever trying to help everyone while leaving my sister half way done. Meanwhile two of his staffs took their time doing other people’s nails. Her gel mani was a disaster and he kept hurting her toes, one of them bleed and he just said ‘sorry’ like it’s not a big deal. What should have been a 40 minute ordeal turn into 2 hrs, we were so behind schedule for the wedding. Never coming back here again! CT Nails by Tracy in Banker’s Hills is 100% better that this crap!

(I would put 0 stars but o have to put at least 1 star to post) I will NEVER come to this place again! They have lost a customer. First of all I’m going on vacation today so I went the day before to get my nails, eyebrows and toes done. I usually work with Lisa on my eyebrows (which I would say if she isn’t there DO NOT trust anyone else to do your eyebrows!) the lady that did my eyebrows clearly was not paying attention or something bc she took half of my eye brow off! And they were completely uneven. Anyone with eyes can see that one eyebrow was significantly thinner ! So then Lisa walked in did the best she can do (she was in the back) if you have an eye brow specialist there (which Lisa only does eyebrows) why the HECK would you put me with someone who has no idea what they are doing ?! Then I have a scar bc the girl that did my eyebrows was pulling my skin with the tweezers instead of my hair! It was the WORST experience. So after that I’m ready to go but I’m on a time crunch so I decide to still get my nails and toes done. I told them just paint my toes no spa pedicure bc I was pissed but they still ran the water and insisted I get on the chair so I’m thinking maybe this is a complementary service they’re giving me for messing up my eyebrows… So I get my toes done they were okay. But the girl next to me was complaining bc they lady working on her feet kept hurting her. I go to do my nails. Mind you, there is only ONE nail tech. I asked for Coffin nails which I received regular square nails. Before I got my nails done I showed the lady a picture of the nails I wanted and asked her if she could do them and she kept shaking her head yes yes yes but yet that is NOT what i received! So when it was all said and done they charged me 16 $ for a full spa pedicure which I told him that’s not what I wanted and I made that clear they played the whole I don’t understand English trick… And they try to charge me for my eyebrows which of course I spoke up about that so they took that off but they still tried to charge me at the end even though they said it was no charge. Hoping I didn’t catch it? Then there were two ladies waiting to get fills the whole time she was doing my nails which they stormed out bc they didn’t tell them there was only one nail tech so when they were starting to leave the lady doing my nails started painting my nails all fast and sloppy! And one of my nails were crooked which they told me it was my finger. Smh. all this happened one day before I’m going on vacation! So I’m warning you stay away from this place! They are money hungry and could care less about the customers. They only understand and speak English when it’s convenient for them! If you saw my eye brows you would think how could a «professional» bald my eyebrows like this I have really pretty natural shape it needed a little cleaning and now I’m going half way across the U. S looking my a McDonalds sign. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!

The guy cut me so many times I couldn’t believe it and with a nail file my nails aren’t even shaped well at all I had to reshape them at home my jel nail polish it uneven and has bubbles so disappointed I paid 33 $ no tip.

First checked me in with an attitude & this continued until she was completely done with my pedi. The work was POOR quality as you can see on the pic and was told that i had to wait another 30 minutes for my full set so i left.
Tip: Customer service needs serious improvement.
Wish i read the reviews on here before i wasted my money.

I decided to give this place another try. HUGE mistake. My mom made my sisters and I appointments for the next morning. We went in at 10am & ALL the employees were giving pedicures, and they also had some lady waiting to get her nails done. They paid no attention to us, I signed in and still NOTHING. So a couple min. Later they asked what we wanted, we told them that we had an appointment at 10 for 4 of us. They said ok sign in, which we already did & they saw us signing in, they just chose not to care. They all started calling for back up no one was coming. Finally Hanson comes in & takes a customer that was there before us. Which is understandable, she was there first but we had an appointment for 10am we waited an hour for 1 of us to start getting our nails done. Not only that but Hanson tried blaming the lady he took before us saying it was her fault for not making an appointment, he kept telling her we had one yet wouldn’t apologize to us for not taking at least 1 of us. So the lady was upset because she has waited the day before as well. The point is we had to be at a family event at 2pm, we made the appointment for all of us to be taken care of at 10am for a reason. They started working on us one by one starting at 11am! Not only that but when it was finally my turn Hanson forgot what I wanted, and left me to do someone’s hair in the middle of him doing my nails! So unprofessional. Instead of asking someone to do my pedicure while I waited for him to finish the other persons damn highlights he made me wait more than 20min. Not only that but when he came back to finish my nails he got mad because I asked him to put 2 coats, he started arguing telling me that it was going to look the same. Hanson is the worst! & I hate to say it because he’s good, but ONLY when he wants to be. Which is never now. He’s always looking mad, or stressed. If you can’t handle it and don’t have enough employees don’t work anymore. He does everything so rushed and won’t care if he cuts your skin either not only that but everyone who walked in after us were finished before us, we didn’t get out until 12:30! He’s a hit or miss. The whole salon is. Never again will I go back. Super unprofessional.

I’ve been here like 4 times, including today, since they’ve opened.
Twice was for eye brow. I’ve asked just for touch up & the really thinned out my brows which isn’t what I wanted. I already have thin brows as it is. When my sister got hers down, they gave her a pointed shape making her look like the typical Mexican Chola. They weren’t even nice about the whole process, just pushed us back down & continued. I wouldn’t come for eye brows again.
Another time was for my middle school graduation. I got my nails done & it looked like a decent job. I was young so I thought the man handling of my hands was normal. Still don’t know if that’s how manicurist do it or just this place. Been to other places & some would while others weren’t so aggressive.
This time I was treating my mom to get her nails done. She tried to explained she wanted a design or something special. The lady just kept repeating if she wanted white tip or gel. My mom wanted to know specifically what the different nail services were & the lady couldn’t really tell her anything. I tried to speak with the lady b/​C my mom was growing impatient. There are pictures posted of nails with colors & design. I pointed at those examples. The lady just put on her mask & started cleaning my mom’s nails. Mom just wanted to relax so she gave in & got plain French tip.
I wouldn’t recommend this place because to some they are hard to understand. If you want something simple without all the salon specials, this is your place. They are not really expensive. Nail services are $ 18+, $ 7 eyebrows, other waxes $ 12+, refills/​fixes are $ 3+ & hair cuts are $ 10+. Haven’t tried hair cut but I never see hair stylist almost ever & heard bad reviews from ppl.
2 stars because they have to be absolutely rude & bad to get that. They weren’t attentive but not talking in their language much while we were around. It was really quit with instrumental music in the background.

I WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS.
I came in with a simple idea. Was asked what color, I said black. She gives me dark PURPLE and argues it’s the same. She unevenly shapes it, I politely ask for more filing and she SHOVES MY HAND AWAY. She treated me like a toddler. She cut my fingers four times, unevenly sanded them, and got paint on the cuticle. BEWARE– I says $ 18 for gel fill but they’ll try to double the price!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY & forget about these classless people (one employee was literally dragging someone’s toddler around) and go to NAILS BY LONG FOR QUALITY AND COMPASSION. You can be inexpensive and good quality. Dani «salon» is cheap in all forms!!!

The interior is clean and the staff is friendly. It’s always a pleasant to walk in and be greeted by friendly faces. There’s not much of a wait. You will be helped fairly quickly. Prices are cheap for manis (ask for Cathy) as well as haircuts. I love their massage chairs! It’s a nice bonus service. The location is convenient with tons of parking. Will definitely be back!

I hate to give this place a bad review, but in all honesty it very well deserved. Just got a pedi, my sister got a mani and I think that we would have done better had we done them ourselves…
Please look at the pictures and so that you can determine this for yourself. I am very picky, and detail oriented. But even if you’re not, you’ll see that this mani and pedi were horrible. My toes (pardon the bunion) look crusty, my sisters mani polish is all over her cuticle and his guy kept grunting like he was having the worst time ever.
Why do a horrible job & be grumpy while doing it? If you don’t want to do it then say so and let someone else or let me know so that I can go spend my money elsewhere.
The second star is for the awesome massage chair, otherwise this would have been a one star review.

I go here on a regular to get my manicure, pedicure & eyebrows waxed. They do a really nice job. &The prices are really affordable. I went in one time to get a hair cut & my hair dyed. &Little did I know that I was going to regret it! David, the guy that usually does my eyebrows did my hair. He cut it & dyed it. He messed up my hair. I wanted red hair & he left me with spots of brown hair all over my head. It was seriously the worst experience ever. I’m never getting my hair dyed there ever again. He also gave me a hair cut & he left my right side shorter than my left side.

I got there early like 30 minutes after they have opened and went for an eyebrow wax. The lady who does the waxing wasn’t there yet so I had to wait about 15 minutes. Longest 15 min of my life. Then once the waxer lady comes she just says come and is upset. She sits me on a chair and pulls all my hair back while scratching my neck. Needless to say she does the work while arguing with the other lady. They are both each in one side and all I hear is yelling from both ends. Very uncomfortable. Then once she is done she says if I want to do the lip wax and I say no so she does a grunt sound. She tell me to get up as the chair was reclined back but as soon as she says up she is pushing me up. I am never coming into this salon ever again. The worst service I have ever received. I always leave a tip but this lady did not deserve it at all.

I tried this place on a whim, after growing tired of my usual nail place (Diva Nails on El Cajon). I am a fan.
The interior is clean; the pedicures are not «spa style» but rather involve a basin and a plastic bag. It sounds odd, but I believe this technique is far more hygenic than other types of pedicures.
The location has tons of parking, trees outside, and is directly across from Starbucks. They played relaxing music, and everyone was very friendly and professional.
They did try and sell me on about five different services, which I declined. I’ve come to realize this is just part of their culture, and while at times annoying, I just say «no» and go about my business.
Cons: I was not completely relaxed due to the set up they use while performing pedicures. I had to stay focused on holding my legs in place, and it took away from my experience. I also did not really receive any type of foot massage, aside from a brief rub of lotion on my legs. Kind of a bummer.
My pedicure was $ 11. I would and will be going back. This is my new go-​to pedicure place.

My regular hair stylist was booked due to it being prom season so I read some Unilocal reviews on this place and decided to go in. I needed a hair cut and pedicure.
I had read David had a good hand so I decided to go see him. When I got there a male greeted me, I told him that I needed a cut and wanted David. He told me he was busy so I waited. The owner had what seemed like her daughter there, she was trimming her bangs, yet the little girl was swarming in the chair so the mom smacks her on the leg. Kinda unprofessional.
while I still wait another man came out of the back, got a cup of coffee and sat on a chair. The man that originally greeted me went to the back to wax someone. 10 minutes later a lady asked if I wanted a pedicure and cut, I said yes with David. The man that had the coffee said he was David. So I waited there 10 min for nothing.
He sat me, I told him I wanted a trim from the back about an inch and to trim my layers in the front do they would be even. I walked off the chair looking like edward scissorhands had attacked me. I was disappointed and over it that I didn’t even say anything.
I then waited 5 minutes for someone to come and do my pedicure. She scrubbed the bottom of my feet really gently… Just enough to say they did. And that was that. The polish did last a while but I went in for a pedicure to get the callus scrubbed. If I want to wet my feet and paint my nails I’ll do that at home.
I wasn’t that happy about the service.

Dani salon is in my neighborhood. It’s a no-​frills kind of place. They do a decent mani-​pedi. For a couple bucks extra they can paint designs on your nails. They can also do acrylics, etc.
They also do waxing. The eyebrow waxing is great. I had some other waxing done recently in preparation for bathing suit season. That was less successful. I don’t think I will have that service again here.
PROS: usually you can walk in and get service within 5 – 10 minutes.
CONS: Not very clean, needs repainted. Service doesn’t feel especially personal. They have a man do the bikini waxing on women. He was a complete professional, but still it wasn’t my first choice.

I went in for a mani/​pedi + eyebrow waxing. They took me right away but it took forever for the lady to do my nails. Its not like it was years since my last trip to the salon, she just moved at a snail’s pace. I guess my nails look ok. Just not really worth the time it took.
The chairs are really uncomfortable. They’re like the crappy, faux leather office chairs.
The waxing was pretty bad. It still looks like I’m in need. There is a little bit of a rash under one of my brows. I’m sure glad I didn’t get the bikini wax!
