Azule Hair & Nail Salon

My roommates and I wanted to do a salon day together so we bought the Living Social deal since $ 25 seemed like a good deal for a mani/​pedi. Wish we had read the reviews before purchasing. We went in with low expectations and that’s about what we got.
There aren’t massage chairs, just a chair in the corner with a bucket for your feet and your nails are done on your lap. She does a decent job of cleaning your feet and hands but there is no massage. Also my roommates and I wanted to get our manis/​pedis together but they could only do one at a time and it took us over 2 hours.
The offered a deal when we were leaving for a pedi for $ 30 but I believe I can get a better manicure and pedicure somewhere else for cheaper.

MOST HORRIBLE NAIL SALON UNDER SUN.
I had my LS coupon like all others in the review comments and must say was a bad decision.
Lady was so rude, pessimistic and bad attitude.
Kept talking –ve things abt Govt, Foreigner and all other Salons are bad and if i go then I can die of some disease.
Net Net — Never go there, even if you have a coupon
She does not do anything that a Nail salon does —
No Massages, no scrubbing
In fact she used some kind of sanding machine on my nail which hurts even now and may have lost my top natural enamel of my nails.
So, overall a SICK place…
Also, JFYI, all the 5 star comments are put by this Sick lady herself (the owner)…
How creepy can anyone be ???

I purchased a Living Social deal (mani/​pedi reg $ 80 for $ 25) back in September (when there were no Unilocal reviews) and kept trying to setup an appointment, but wasn’t able to for a couple months. Finally I got an appointment after multiple attempts in February. I figured since it was located in Saratoga it should be a nice salon such as Lavande in Santana Row, but wow I was in for a shocker. I parked my car and first off the building was extremely old, but I thought kk the inside should be decent looking. Walked in and was very confused. I told the lady that I needed a mani/​pedi and she told me to have a seat in a wooden chair with no desk or pedi station. She then goes to finish making her calls for another 5min and then finally comes to start my mani/​pedi. As I’m telling her that I want a french mani/​pedi she pulls out an «at-​home» pedi foot bath tub and tells me that it’s much more sanitary to use one of these rather than your typical deluxe pedi stations. I was in complete shock because I’ve honestly been to multiple nail salons and have NEVER seen anything like this. She sits right across from me and puts a towel in my lap and in her own and then starts to take off my polish. You would think that at the very least she’d have a table to do this on rather than the customer’s lap… As I’m sitting there I’m thinking to myself how she’s going to do my pedi since there wasn’t a foot stand or anything. To my complete disbelief she grabs my foot and puts it in her lap and starts my pedi. SERIOUSLY?! So unprofessional. Not to mention that the whole time I’m seeing waaaaay too much cleavage with her extremely low-​cut shirt and large breasts. She kept alternating between my hands and feet and in between she would put the nail drying UV box on my own lap and have me stick my hands in there. I’ve never seen anything like this before and am 100% surprised that she’s in business. The french manicure itself was also shocking. It was a complete mess and looked like a 5yr old had done it. No joke. My fingers were also covered in polish which I pointed out to her and she attempted to clean it up, but nope they definitely still were there. She was a nice lady and her partner who was a hair stylist was nice as well, but they are definitely in the wrong business. The salon venue itself is a complete joke and the services are unacceptable. I wish I took a picture of the manicure, but unfortunately I didn’t. The picture that is posted on here already is pretty similar to what my nails looked like, but surprisingly a little better. She does give you a take home nail filing kit which was nice, but that honestly is the only positive that this business has. This mani/​pedi was NOT worth $ 25. I wouldn’t even pay $ 1 for that shocking experience.

I bought the Living Social coupon and made an appt for end of Dec on a Friday when I was off work. Due to the large number of coupons sold, it was necessary to book in advance — ot a problem. At the last minute I needed to delay my appt and was pleased that they were able to accommodate. When I arrived, I was offered tea, which was a nice touch. But that was where the pleasantness ended.
I was really shocked to find that they would sell so many coupons with only one person available to perform the service under such uncomfortable conditions. I sat on a bench with a cushion the whole time and my butt had fallen asleep near the end. The person doing the work sat in a chair hunched over. She alternated between hands and feet. Oh it was *so* not the spa experience I normally get. She actually said that the reason she doesn’t get a massage chair is because they cause diseases… I find this very hard to believe. I’ll take my chances to be comfortable any day.
But to get beyond the comfortable part (which I consider a major necessity for pleasant pedicure), the mani-​pedi itself was only so-​so. In fact she cut my toe nails too short and I had a sore on one toe for the week or two after. I can’t even remember if I got much of a foot/​leg massage, but I know that the hand massage was like an afterthought where she slapped some had cream on my hands before I had to leave.
In my opinion, I cannot see why anyone would be a return customer to Azule. But from the looks of it they are using Living Social to bring in their business since I saw they issued a second coupon offer recently. I’ll take my chances with a spa using a spafinder gift card that gets decent Unilocal reviews. When I bought this coupon, there were no reviews available since they were so new.

I bought the LivingSocial deal and been calling for a few weeks now. It is like a dead zone. No one has returned my calls. it is impossible to book an appointment. After reading all the reviws, I am not even sure if i want one. Next time, I will review the salon first, before buying a cupon.

Horrible experience. Patron is rude, impatient. The place is not a salon, but a small room converted into a pretend salon. Never ever will I go there again or recommend it to anyone. I bought the Living Social deal, and boy was it a mistake. Do yourself a favor and buy the deal for your enemy.

I was treated to a mani/​pedi by a friend as an early Christmas gift. I was greeted by Deni when I arrived and she started on my pedicure right away. They don’t have the «big chairs» in this salon because they are unhealthy as they cannot be cleaned sufficiently. Deni used a foot bath and started on my nails She gave me many tips on caring for my nails and was very efficient in giving me a manicure. The pedicure was very relaxing as well ending with a nice leg massage.
The salon itself is small but very homey feeling. Deni and Lisa, the hairdresser there, were very friendly and welcoming.
I received a small nail care kit when leaving and Deni said she looked forward to me visiting again soon. I enjoyed the experience and would say it was the most personal and friendly treatment I ever received. I will definitely return.

I bought the groupon deal awhile ago from this place and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment. The place looks run down and not very organize inside. It does not feel like a salon. I almost want to walk out at that moment but feel bad. The nail lady used the same dirty tools to do my nail as she was using from the lady before. She cut my skin after 15 minutes into the session and I was bleeding from my finger. I feel gross from seeing the dirty tools on her table. When I get home I took a shower to clean out my fingers and toes so good since I am scare that I was going to get infection.

This salon is a complete joke. No receptionist to answer or schedule your appointment; you have to leave a voice mail with your available times and someone will give you a call back when they have time. The salon literally looks like someone converted their garage into a Steel Magnolia’s hair salon. I totally wish I had NEVER purchased the LivingSocial deal; the manicure and pedicure were not worth $ 25 and no where near worth their advertised $ 80 value. Even if you’re totally desperate and absolutely need a mani & pedi immediately, do NOT settle for this place; find another place and save yourself of a HORRIBLE experience.

I completely agree with what Randi S. wrote to the «T»! (I too was confused, listened to her complain, and told me she gets her stuff from the Dollar store). Sadly, I believe the lady (on business card: Deni; she never introduced herself) is delusional, especially after she asked for me to write a review on Unilocal.I was in complete utter shock! How in any way does she think her business practice is acceptable? I think she started as a hair salon and then to make some $, she said to herself, «Hmm…I can do people’s nails for extra $! All I need is a chair for someone to sit in, a foot tub, and a towel.» Warning: The salon DOES NOT have a nail station or a pedi chair. It’s literally a chair! A wooden one!
I highly suggest anyone who purchased the Living Social deal for Azule to ask for a refund. If you still are hoping to «pamper» yourself OR just «give it a try…», I can guarantee you will regret it and ultimately waste your time & $ (or you’re just being «too nice» and trying to find the «good» in people). NOW, …(last option), if you still decide to show up for your appointment, don’t hesitate to walk in… and then turn around and walk out once you see the place. It will NOT be worth your time!!! The condition of the shop is indicative of your mani/​pedi outcome. Finding a friend to do your mani/​pedi would manifest better results (& you’d probably be treated better).
I am still in shock how this place stayed in business for so long.

My friend and I bought the LivingSocial deal that stated «mani/​pedi reg. $ 80» and was selling for $ 25. We jumped on it and were excited to have a day out together.
The moment I walked in I was a bit confused. It doesn’t have the feel of a salon. It has the feel of someone’s converted spare room. It was dirty and the equipment was old.
I’ve always said it’s never a good idea to get your hair or nails done by someone who’s doesn’t look professional. And I’m correct every time. This was one of those times.
It was a complete let down, to say the least.
In the paint rack there was Revlon nail polish. This is UNHEARD OF in a salon.
Have you seen the Sally Hansen French Manicure sets you can get in a drug store? And it has the white pencil that you swipe underneath your nails?
This is what was used on our nails.
And she told us she uses dollar store paint.
Then she charged us $ 12 extra for a «french manicure».
It was a rip off. I do not advise visiting this «salon» as it was a waste of money and time.
But! If you want to sit and listen to a woman tell you how to spend your money, where to shop, and who to complain to then by all means!
What a crock.
If anyone pays the «original price of $ 80» that LivingSocial claimed they are out of their mind.
