The Beauty Bar at Carmel

I wish that I had nicer things to say about my two experiences at this salon, but both were rushed with pedicures that left me longing for something better. After a frustrating phone call with the manager who told me she’d discount a future service for me (when I’d asked for a refund), I told her that I wouldn’t be coming back. Like I said on the phone, $70 might not seem like a lot to HER but it’s more than I want to pay for a paint job that was messed up before I left the salon. No thank you, and good luck with your brand change!

Wow. Change in a ownership and can’t manage a business…Made a reservation, and as I’m paying ahead of time for my teen I ask why it is $15 and they say actually they ran into a scheduling problem and they changed our reservation from a manicure to a color change. No offer to make the situation right. I asked them specifically if they were ok with this being the service they were providing. And they said yes! This is what the manager said to do. And the girl at the front desk encourages me to leave the bad review I say I will need to leave. Saying we’ve changed owners, you just go right ahead and leave a bad review. So take this as a warning. This is the type of service you will get at “Nails, Hair, and Cocktails” formerly known as beauty bar.

Jess has been doing my nails for about six months. She’s personable and knows a lot about how to take care of nails. My nails and nail beds are looking great thanks to her! Would definitely recommend her to others.

I’ve been coming here for 10 months and I never want to go anywhere else. This salon feels so comfortable yet elite, I feel like I’m the only one in the salon because of how attentive and meticulous they are! Ella is the best nail tech I’ve ever been to and Ashley is incredible at waxing. The drinks are tasty and I love the Botox and Bubbly events! You’ll never need to go to another salon after you come to BeautyBar!

Really annoying by how my first and last experience here went. I got a gel manicure and a haircut, even tho the girls that helped me are not to experienced and we have some issues my overall experience with them was great, they were super kind and nice and I also can understand everyone was new at some point but! I requested a second appointment with the same stylist who cut my hair couple days after because I wanted a bit more hair in my bang, I specifically told the lady over the phone, I want my appointment with her she did a great job I just want a bit more so I got my appointment I showed up to my appointment and I was called by someone else, I mentioned her the situation and why I wanted the other girl and how I couldn’t understand why front desk hadn’t take care of properly, after waiting for a while this other stylist came and said I got your stylist she is ready to do your hair now, we went back to station and this new stylist explained to me she was a more experienced stylist than the other one, that she wasn’t a senior but was higher than the one I wanted, who is a junior, and she asked if it was alright if she stay next to us while the other one was doing her job, I said I didn’t mind but what a terrible mistake, I again said, I loved what she did I just want more hair but I just want exactly the same but not even with being maybe the 5th time I say this this “more experienced” stylist started to give the other stylist all the instructions to how to do the job that she already had done great and became my appointment into a class of how she likes to do things without even let this new girl talk, and as you can imagine it, I hated it sooo bad, I even mentioned it I didn’t like it and I just wanted it as the first girl had did it before but that whatever it was cut and there was nothing to do about it, the “experienced stylist just left while telling the new girl, who was clearly uncomfortable with how things were happening, to take me to the front and charge me, then of course I was charged again just for a touch up which I would pay happily if things hadn’t turned in the way they did, to the two girls who help me in my first time, thanks for being so kind and I hope you can keep improving your skills, but to management to the front desk girl that didn’t do her job and to the “experienced” stylist that completely ignored my words right in front of my face and didn’t even say sorry, what a horrible way to treat your customers. Terrible!!
