Pamper Now

Great little spa oasis!
Pedicure with hot stone massage. Massage is awesome! Manicure and pedicure nicely done!
Amazing eyebrow waxing.
Very clean, great service and reasonable prices.
Grand opening offering 20% off for a limited time.

The techs went out of their way to find the perfect color for my shellac manicure. The massage was excellent and, at $ 35, the price was not too high.

Same great services, with a new fresh atmosphere and shop name! I felt very welcome at «PAMPER NOW» I will write a full review on their new Unilocal page

Such a great salon! I get all my waxing, tinting, and mani/​pedi done here for the past 10 years. Lihn and her daughter are friendly and wonderful. They take credit cards now! I am grateful such an amazing small business (woman owned) is still in our neighborhood!

As Elisa said, you need to ask them for a top coat! It’s so frustrating to go home in a god mood about your experience, only to have the quality of the job diminish within about 3 days! But other than that, this is my favorite place to go for nails in my neighborhood, simply because of the people.

This is the best quality/​price I’ve found for legs waxing. The lady is super friendly and does a good job! I go there all the time now :)

May is an artist. This is my favorite nail salon in Fresno. I travel a lot but always come here for their massage chairs that tip all the way back, their soft music and lighting, and their talented crew. Look at my gorgeous crescent moon gel manicure!

I got a pedicure with a friend of mine here. It was a good experience — Linh and her daughter helping out were attentive overall. My major complaint is that they only applied base coat and 1 coat of the colour I chose, no 2^nd layer or top coat. I was mostly distracted while chatting with my friend, so didn’t notice until after we left. It’s only been a few days since the pedi and the polish is already falling off. This can obviously be avoided by asking them to apply the extra layers but you’d think they’d do it without asking as it is the norm. I wish they got the simple things right.

Mediocre manicure. Polish done poorly. Also I am always skeptical of places that use bowls instead of pedicure chairs but it seemed ok. Cash only.

Went here for a mani/​pedi on a whim. Two ladies working and the one that started me off was busy reading her phone. Bodes well, I can tell you.
This was the most lackluster pedicure I have ever received. My nails were definitely not trimmed/​filed properly and the foot massage part tickled. I mean, I know this isn’t the most glamourous job in the world and I’m not sure if she actually works there or was just helping out her friend, but if you don’t GAF, go work for the DMV or something.
The only reason I’m giving this place 2 stars is because the second woman finished my pedicure and did the manicure part which was reasonably good, chatty, etc. She cut my nails further than was comfortable which is really my only complaint (she should have just not, they were pretty short already. Really, I should just not bother when they aren’t long) but considering how dingy the place is (a piece of the pedicure seat came off during another woman’s pedicure and fell into the water bowl), I sincerely doubt I will bother again.
The only other plus about this place is while I was walking here, I realized that the Bi-​Rite market has an ice cream stand. So thanks Citi Beauty, I will now pass up a mani-​pedi at your spa for Honey Lavender ice cream every six weeks I am in the neighborhood.

I love Citi Beauty. The women here are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and professional. You can read a magazine quietly or talk to the other friendly customers. They do excellent pedicures that last for weeks. They are also flexible about colors (totally willing to do more than one color on my toes!)
At other nail salons in the city I have felt like there is a servant vibe or that the women are talking smack in their native language. I NEVER feel that way here. It’s warm, inviting, and easy-​going.
They do need newer massage chairs, so give them your business (Cash Only), so they can upgrade their chairs!
Thanks.

Citi Beauty Skin Care is awesome for dudes. These girls surround you like a Nascar pit-​crew and you come out looking like a million bucks!

Really inexpensive, but the polish selection is very limited and the polish change I got only lasted a day. The pedicure was great, very relaxing and I prefer the bowl to the spa chair since it just seems cleaner. The location is great and the woman who owns the place is super sweet. It’s small and has a great neighborhood feel.

Most painful Brazilian wax I have ever experienced. The lady asked me to pull my skin this way and that — and I thought to myself, «Lady, how the hell can I concentrate on the horrific pain and doing your bidding at the same time». I didn’t see her sterilize any of the tweezers or scissors that she used and I was in agony. She used one strip of cloth for the entire procedure.
To add insult to injury, there is no signage anywhere that states «CASH ONLY»
I consider it a total trap when this is not stated anywhere in a business. The owner then told me to go to Bi-​Rite to buy something for cash back. At 5:30 you can imagine the line at Bi-​Rite. I did not want to stand in the line or buy anything I did not need at that moment. Had the signage said «CASH ONLY» I would have gone elsewhere.
Come on. not fair… she then looked at me skeptically when I paid with a check… Lady, I am not the dishonest one…

This is my favorite place to get my nails done. Yes, it happens to be one block away, but get this, I have to pass at least two other nail salons to get there. Lynn is so sweet, she always tries to fit me in (though on weekends make an appointment) and she is totally honest about the time she needs to get it done. If there is a ten minute wait she tells me, she doesn’t just say «ok, pick a color» like other places as you are sitting there wondering how they are really available when each seat is taken and there are other people waiting.
A couple of times that I’ve been in a rush she has given me a speedy manicure, One time she asked if I wanted a french manicure and I said I didn’t have enough time. She assured me it would take her the same amount of time. It did. And she did it better than other places and all the while squatting on the floor.
Prices are absolutely comparable. She remembers me and always provides great conversation. The place is tiny but clean. They have a great selection of colors, both polish and gel. The waxing is a little basic but they do that too and she gets the job done.
Last time I was in I even saw her rush out to put more money on a meter that a client was parked at, without anyone even asking her… she provides real customer service, which is often the first thing to go when there are eleven nail salons per block in this city…

I love this place.
I got a manicure and pedicure done here, they looked great and lasted forever.
The woman who owns the place is suuuper-​sweet, chats WITH you (versus all those other places where you are just a pair of hands and you sit awkwardly while all the ladies in the room chat loudly), and actually has an interesting story about her entrepreneurship, her family, etc.
She’s also a super-​fast brazilian waxer. So… mani/​pedi/​brazilian. All affordable and awesome.

I’m a little surprised this place has such good reviews. Sure, its cheap ($ 10 for a mani), but I can’t say I had a good experience. I went here because I was home sick from work on a rainy afternoon and began getting restless. This is the nearest nail salon from my apartment, and it had decent reviews, so I decided to give it a try.
First off, the little girl. She’s running around, «sanitizing» the tools, just a little unprofessional if you ask me. Second, it doesn’t matter how dingy and cheap a nail salon is, I think the tools should be clean. Haven’t these people seen all the TV specials about nail salons transmitting disease and bacteria through their tools? Well, the cuticle pusher-​backer (I’m sure that’s the technical name…) had somebody else’s dead skin still on it. Gross.
Now, if the manicure itself had been decent, I would have given this place 3, or maybe 4, stars because lets face it, when you’re paying $ 10 for a manicure you can’t expect a luxurious experience. I had nail polish all around my nails. The lady kind of tried to get it off, but not really. Also I got an allergic reaction to the cheap lotion they use.
I guess it serves me right for choosing a nail place solely based on its proximity to my apartment. I’m just a little creeped out by how dirty and unsanitary this place was. Perhaps I will stick to the financial district spas for my future manicure needs.

$ 30 for an eyebrow & mani/​pedi is an awesome price. Everything looked great and they were super fast — so why only 3 stars you ask.
The daughter.
I’d read some of the previous reviews that mentioned the little girl and it did give me pause, but then I thought I was being a grumpy old bag and that I could handle a sweet child. She was there but looking very sullen and bored. This actually worked out great for me because it meant she didn’t want to chat it up, and I got to devour a trashy mag as I pleased while having my many/​pedi.
But, and it’s a pretty big but, when I went to have my eyebrows done the little girl came into the room and proceeded to stand at the woman’s elbow the entire time giving her a lengthy and unobstructed view up my nose. I don’t know what was going on up there but it was fascinating enough for her to stand there throughout the whole thing. Please ladies of Citi Beauty, banish the child from the room of hot wax and vulnerable customers, and buy her a bloody gameboy or something. She’s obviously starved for entertainment.

The $ 30 mani/​pedi/​eyebrow combo cannot be beat. The ladies do a great job. It is very sanitary & they do NOT use the whirlpool tubs, which is good.
However, the owner’s young daughter has been in there the past few times I was there. While this is cute & all, the little girl was bothersome. She wanted to talk or ask me questions or play games. I’m not there to entertain a child while getting my nails done. If you like kids, this place is for you. If you’re looking for something more relaxing, you might want to try some place else.

Price: 5 stars (two people with full mani-​pedi = $ 50)
Cute daughter helping to work in the store gives bonus points
Helpfulness, professionalism: 5 stars
Quality: 4.5 stars
My pedicure was really good but I’ve had better manicures. It isn’t horrible, but my cuticles are still a bit rough around the edges and could have used more attention. Otherwise, they look great.
The ladies who work here are lovely and the one had her daughter there helping when we went in. A-​dor-​able! The shop is very clean and cozy and I’m just thrilled this place is within walking distance!
