Amethyst Salon

I went here for a Brazilian because it is definitely the most reasonably priced place in all of Reno. However, this place uses strips, not hard wax. Brazilians are painful as is, and these strips only prolonged the pain. The Brazilian took about 40 minutes, 20 – 25 minutes longer than usual because the person waxing me had to use tweezers to take out the hairs the strip wasn’t able to grab.
Next time I’ll just have to take some extra-​strength Tylenol because the $ 35 price is better than having to pay $ 80 at other salons.

I’ve been going to Amethyst salon for two years. This place is amazing. It’s like my own hidden salon.
The service that I receive is waxing. My services each time are phenomenal. I leave here happy and satisfied. After each appointment I plan to continue and go back.
The staff, even though I have only worked with Mary, the other staff the greets me every time I walk through the door. They have all been courteous and nice. As for Mary, she is a wonderful person who is amazing. She has a passion for her job and her clients. She is the reason I continue to make appointments.
The environment is comforting and bright. The waiting area is in with the single hair station in the salon.
What they offer at amethyst salon is nails, pedicures, waxing and the newest hair. They have other products there like medusa makeup.
The price for waxing is very reasonable. I have not found a place that matches the price of Amethyst Salon!
I would recommend people to try this place! I for sure will go back!

Total class act! Mary is the best «waxer and tanner» in Reno and I feel right at home at Amethyst Salon. I would never go anywhere else. I look forward to my appointments and would recommend her to everyone.

Mary is the best! I started getting waxed by her over 5 years ago after an awful experience at another salon. Her Brazilian waxes are so moderately priced and she is done in under 25 minutes! She will give you designs, bedazzling, anything you ask for. She gives a genuine and professional salon experience without ever asking clients to get on all fours or anything else out of the ordinary. She engages her clients, giving 100% to each one, ensuring total privacy and comfortability. I not only choose Mary for my wax every 4 weeks but I recommend her to all friends and family. I have tried just about every other salon in Reno as well as salons in Oregon, California, even France and nobody comes close to the service Mary gives. She goes above and beyond! Plus her salon room is decked out in the most incredible way! A must try!

I booked my first pedi online about a year ago! I have been going every month for my nails and let me tell ya, they always come out amazing thanks to Desaray! Both girls do amazing work and it’s so reasonably priced:)! Highly recommend. My favorite part is that there’s wine served

I go to Alyshia and I love her. She free hands a lot of designs and I love that she does such an amazing job. Everyone always compliments me on my nails and I love that whatever I’m feeling, she can accomplish the design I want. And to top that off, I am SUPER indecisive and I can’t decide on what I want. When I tell her, she doesn’t get frustrated, she just gives me options and narrows it down to what I want. We always talk, and it is never awkward silence. Alyshia is amazing. And if you want to get your nails done, that last forever and are gorgeous, go to her.

Had an appointment with Mary for my first Brazilian, and she was awesome!
She made me feel super comfortable, answered any and all questions, and was just overall very attentive, and super nice! I will without a doubt be back, and recommend them to everyone!

Walked in on Tuesday to get pedis with my friend, waited 10 mins for someone to come out of the back room to even acknowledge we were there, this girl walked out with the worst attitude not even wanting to help us, there was absolutely no one in there and she said they wouldn’t take a walk in and they have nothing available until next Wednesday. This place was dead and I wonder why never be back

I go here to get my nails done religiously. This is by far the best nail salon I’ve ever been to (and I’ve lived in 3 states). They actually use gel, not powder. Whenever you go to other salons and they tell you they are giving you gel and they pull out a pink powder, THAT IS NOT GEL! lol
This gel never chips, it stays hard and shiny. Alyshia and Des can do pretty much anything you ask them to do and it looks better than you imagined! Not to mention they are super nice and funny. Great people, great work and the price is right.

I must say this was one of the best waxing experiences I have ever had. Prior to this visit, I had been struggling to find a salon that offers waxing for good prices AND quality, which I had almost given up on because of the some of the other somewhat ridiculous establishments in the Reno-​Sparks area. However, Jessica was very warm and welcoming when I came in for my appointment. She was very punctual with attending to me, and, all around, she was incredibly friendly before, during, and after my appointment. I will definitely be booking for my next waxing session here! In fact, I’ll most probably be scheduling an appointment for a manicure and sample some more of Amethyst Salon’s services in the near future. :)

Fabulous! This was my first bikini waxing, so I was fairly nervous; and within a few minutes Mary made me feel completely at ease!

Alyshia does my nails about every 3 weeks, and even if I don’t know exactly what I want she always seems to do something awesome and creative that I love every time! She is super sweet and talkative and doesn’t take too long for great quality sets! The pricing is very fair as well. Jessica is a great aesthetician and does my eye brows when I have the change to drop in, always does a great job and is also great to chat with for the 10 minutes or so. Love amethyst and always recommend them to my friends looking for a new place to go! The glitter bar is pretty awesome too: -)

Mary and Jessica are the absolute best waxers in Reno! I have been going to Mary for two years now. Mary is the best at what she does and makes waxing as quick and painless as possible. She always provides great tips on skin care as well! There isn’t another place in town that will provide phenomenal services at an affordable student rate! I highly recommend Amethyst Salon for waxing and other beauty services!

I been going here for almost 2 years!!! I love Mary and Jessica! !! They are so great. Mary takes care of everything I need her too and always let’s me know how I should care for my skin. Jessica I’d really great for lashes and my eyebrows! !! I love having them on. I would recommend them to everyone I know!

I absolutely love Amethyst! I have been going to Mary for about 2 – 3 years; prices are amazing, services are phenomenal and everyone who works there always has a smile on their face! I highly recommend amethyst salon!

I love Amethyst. I have been coming here for over a year now. I am so picky when it comes to getting my eyebrows done. Jessica does amazing and makes you feel warm, welcome, and comfortable. I also have got a great student discount by coming here especially by Mary who is giving me chemical peels and microderm. I have been so insecure about my acne scars for years, after just 3 treatments I can see major differences in my skin. Smoother, scars minimizing, and overall complextion close to perfect. Mary is a sweetheart, and is amazing. They really work with you if you are a student :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Love love love! I went today for the first time and I’m so glad I did.
I was a walk-​in but they were able to give me an appointment just half an hour later.
I went in for an underarm wax. I am a baby when it comes to pain but it was virtually painless! I had Jessica, who is super nice and personable. She made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions, also gave me some tips. She guided me through the whole process and explained everything.
I will be back without a doubt. The prices are unbeatable and everyone is very welcoming as soon as you walk in. Definitely recommend!
Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the website to book appointments would not let me log on and make one.

I found myself in Reno over the holidays and in desperate need or brow and bikini wax. I started at the spa at Atlantis. When I inquired about a Brazilian the staff was honest about the fact it’s not their forte ad sent me here. (Big shout out to Atlantis — nothing worse than an incompetent wax, so I appreciate the honest heads up). I’m usually nervous to have a new person do my brows, but Jessica did a great job cleaning up and maintaining my shape. Also solid bikini wax.
The salon is clean, though I’m used to paper on the massage table. All the other wax basics were good — wax was right temp, new sticks for each dip, and the right wax was used for the process. Oh, and others have mentioned, the prices are outstanding!

You can’t beat the prices! I pay half the amount here than I would at a regular salon! Doesn’t get any better than that :) plus it’s walking distance from my apartment.
