Venus Salon and Spa

Shame about the old reviews. I didnt go to the salon back then. But its a new staff. I have come consistently for one year and gotten beautiful henna tattoos, facials, threading, waxing. Ask for Zeba.

Went for eyebrow threading, older lady was kinda of pushy, offered some sales business, and I know she jacked up the price, went from $ 7 to $ 10. Would not return

You know… this place is a few things– efficient, consistent, convenient, and economical. Great prices, good service, and an overall pleasing experience. Elena is a hair magician. she can work with almost anything! Ann does great eyebrow threading, which is hard to find in this part of town. The place is nice and tidy, they use the standard Salon products, and there’s never usually a rush so you just walk right in.

i purchased a deal find $ 19 for a mani/​pedi, the lady was doing eyebrows when i arrived on time for my appointment so she stopped and filled the tub and i let the chair massage me, this was my favorite part of the experience when she was finally done she started the extra long process of my mani/​pedi. now this lady is a little older and very nice and because of this i stopped myself from spazzing out on her a few times. her filing skills lack as well as common sense it seems. when i was done with the 3 hour mani/​pedi i had polish on my skin on both my hands and feet and that top coat stuff she used was to thick and was all over the place to my friend asked me if i did my nails myself. would i go back nope not at all

Consistently awesome results when I go here to get my eyebrows threaded.
Elena is an awesome addition to this salon and has fantastic experience. She did a great job for my highlights/​lowlights for my blond hair. You cannot beat the price, as they are always running specials and trying to revamp the business. I am glad I took the chance and tried Elena… she is great.

My appointment was at 6, but the lady didn’t even show up to the spa until 6:20. The staff is really friendly, but that is the worst manicure/​pedicure I have ever received. The lady who was helping me was completely clueless, but very very sweet. She had trouble seeing so decided to go grab her glasses. Continued to have trouble seeing so she had to go grab a lamp and put it by my feet. I was terrified to let her cut my cuticle since she could barely see. Ended up painting them with clear polish which ended up all over my toes. After telling her that I’d like to keep my nails squared shaped, she filed them into oval shapes. She began painting my french manicure and the polish was so thick it was sticking everywhere and had lumps everywhere. I asked her to use a different polish but she refused. I didn’t even wait for my nails to dry, I paid, and immediately went home to give myself a home mani/​pedi. I will never go back.

I went in for a haircut with a KGB deal, and loved it. Koltyn did an awesome job, giving me layers and bringing life back into my long lumpy hair. Will definitely go back.
They are all super nice, you’ll feel like home!

I went for threading because this place is just 2 blocks from where I live. I was very apprehensive to try anyone new, but my girl left Hair by Mario, so I had to find somewhere to tame the brows. The first time was good, the second better, but the 3^rd went wrong, and the fourth nearly stripped me bald. I loved that it is so close, and I like to help out struggling businesses, but it’s too inconsistent for me. She even charged me different prices 3 of the 4 times.

Horrible experience! Went in with a friend for highlights only and highlights came out like if we bought a box from walgreens and did it our self. Our hair was blow dried frizzy and the price jacked up when we went to pay. Oh. we got our hair washed in freezing cold water and I also got my eyebrows done and got my skin cut along with it. Not sure is I was charged for getting cut too. LOL I will never ever go back!

Terrible!!! I went in last night for a trim and to have my bangs cut. I am now sitting at work looking like a have a mullet growing from the right side of my face. I have no ideal in the WORLD what she thinks she was doing! My hair is completly uneven and I had to ask her 3 times to stop blow drying my hair and check my bangs which she would not do. I finally jumped out of the chair and ripped off my apron. I’ve been there before for a eyebrow thread which was okay but will never go there again. I really don’t think the lady who owns the place has any idea what she is doing. Plus she would not stop trying to sell me hair products the whole time. It was really annoying. I’m at the moment making an appointment somewhere else to have my hair fixed (if possible)

I went in for a haircut and thought it was only $ 15 dollars and it ended up being $ 18. That was a spray bottle of water and a straight up hair cut. I went there because it is local but I don’t know. I’ve had a pedicure there. It was fine but not great. I think they may need more experience.

The only good thing about my experience here was the massage I got with my pedicure. To say everything else was subpar is an understatement. They didn’t know where the right brush and acetone were to do a french pedicure. Didn’t think that you need some sort of lotion/​scrub/​soap to use with the pumice stone thingy for the foot scrub and on top of all that, I’m there trying to relax while the girl was doing the foot and calf massage and the owner comes over and starts asking me personal questions. God! I don’t want to talk. I just want to chill. Overall, they don’t seem to know what they’re doing. So just don’t go… though eyebrow threading was decent (not great).

This lady sucks. She has no clue what she’s doing. She did my eyebrows and then was trimming them and cut a whole chunk off of my eyebrow, and right after she did it she goes, «OOPS!» really loud. I was already freaked out just goin in there cause getting your eyebrows done by someone new is risky. I took a chance and i regret it.

So, I’m a sucker for fliers on my windshield. True story.
Especially when those fliers advertise $ 22 mani/​pedi special 3 blocks from my home. Sold! So I wandered over there yesterday in hopes of scoring a late afternoon pick-​me-​up/​study session.
This little shop is under new management, and despite the exterior (sandwiched between a convenience store and a Evangelical church) it is pretty clean and tidy on the inside. The pastel purple is a bit of overkill, but… so it goes.
I was taken back for my pedicure. It was OK, but as a woman who has indulged in many a mani/​pedi combo, I could just tell she wasn’t so sure of what she was supposed to be doing. A+ for effort though, and she was sweet as pie. All in all, the nails turned out fine… I just spent a lot of time worrying that I’d have to go somewhere else and have them «redone.»
Now, the very interesting part is the owner… a bubbly Indian woman in her 50’s with a flair for hair removal. She is passionate. I got to witness a stream of women coming in, and each time the owner would basically try to persuade them to remove all of the hair on their bodies. One poor lady just came in for an eyebrow threading (recommended, the woman did them expertly!) and ended up getting almost her entire face waxed.
As an added bonus, after the woman with painful tears running down her cheeks left… the owner brought over the wax paper with hair, and SHOWED me how effective it had been. Um, gross… sorry, I’m all about beauty at relatively any cost, but not other people’s «beauty» remnants on a wax strip. Ick.
I will go back for threading though, $ 7 is a steal. I just am not letting her anywhere near the rest of me.
However, I say give this place a try. Very cheap men’s haircuts ($ 12), and my manicure is actually quite nice (and cheap). In fact, I went with a lighter pink due to the warmer temps and not wanting to appear «drab» with dark nails… I tipped over the polish to see the color, and it said «rosy future.» It was sort of the sign I had been waiting for on this particular day… so 3 stars (and cheers) to the future.
After all, Venus is the god of love and beauty. Sigh.
They take walk-​ins and credit cards.
