I’Land Pedispa

Just paid $ 35 for a blowout for NYE. I made my appointment last week and was called yesterday by the business to see if I could come in 30 minutes early because they wanted to close early. That’s fine but still rather annoying. Everyone was friendly (as always) when I walked in but my blowout was incredibly rushed as I was the only customer in there and they decided to close at 4. I asked for volume and don’t have any. I’ve only been home an hour and my roommate just walked in and asked if I got my hair curled. I did but you can’t even tell. So, I paid $ 35 to get my hair washed.

Been here twice to get my hair done and I love it! Amazing and friendly service. If you ever need to get your hair done, especially if you have Asian hair and want to go blonde, I recommend Christine Trang or @Christines_Touch on Instagram. But you would have to call in a month in advance because shes always booked and only takes appointments. That’s how amazing she is. Love her service, will be coming back again soon! :)

I came in and the place was packed. I just needed a quick toe polish change and I thought I was going to be there for more than an hour waiting my turn. Thankfully, one of the girls took me before others that I think we’re waiting for a full pedi. The place is clean and hip!

The facilities are beautiful — you definitely feel fun and fancy being in there, so I’d highly recommend it for a small group of friends or even a bridal party. I’ve only been here for nails (not hair or waxing etc). I am docking a star because of the pedicure services — I prefer massage chairs or even just a comfortable chair… here you will sit on a bench with a straight back. Not my idea of relaxation! Also, I heard they serve wine but I have never once been offered a glass.

Lovely place and ambience. They are very friendly and thorough. Personally, I prefer a long pedi that allows me to soak in the experience. That didn’t happen which cost them a star. I was talked into first upper lip wax that resulted in wax bumps above lip. That would probably be considered my fault!

I have been coming here since 2013 and just keep falling more and more with the place

If I were to sum up my experience here in one word, it would be «Meh.» The service wasn’t great and the manicure wasn’t great either. That being said, the price wasn’t outlandish. I won’t go back of my own volition, but I wouldn’t wedge myself against the door frame if someone tried to drag me there either.

You’ll catch me here once a week getting my nails and toes done.
They have a huge selection of colors! In regular polish and in gel so you have a lot of options. Speaking of options, they have a lot of pedicure choices ranging from $ 20 to more expensive ones that include paraffin wax and hot stone massages.
All of the nail techs do amazing jobs, as well.
Tutie is my go-​to girl to get my waxes. She has my eyebrows «on fleek»!
They also have a hair salon on the other side of the nail bar. I go to Christine for my cut and color, but have been to all of the other hairstylists for blowouts and styling!
You can’t go wrong here!

I took my sister there and I fell in love instantly. It’s fancy, clean and the 2 women who worked on us were very professional and welcoming.
Totally loved the atmosphere!
My sister and I thought it would be empty because it was the Saints first home game, but little did we know the place was packed! We didn’t have to wait at all though. Can’t wait to go back!

I go here to get my hair done with Sheena; she is awesome! I get express keratin every 6 to 8 weeks in the summer and a bit longer in the winter. Sheena also cuts and styles my hair and I’d recommend her to anyone for any service. She also does color but I don’t put color in my hair so can’t speak to this (she does my mom’s hair too and color and it’s one of the only colors I’ve seen on my mom that looks natural and doesn’t fade). She’s super knowledgable about hair and regularly trains so in touch with the latest trends and products. And she’s waaaay nice so makes it easy to keep going back!

I’m giving this place three stars for the pedi, which was nice. She did a good job, not the best but IF I were to go there again, I would ask for this particular person.
On to the meh part… another girl did my mani and she was like Speedy Gonzales. She zipped through it so quickly that before I knew it she was done and the job was, well, as one would expect: Not good. Probably the worst mani I’ve ever had. Sloppy and hurried with the results to prove it. My nails didn’t hold up more than an hour after I left.
Won’t go here again. There are many other choices in the neighborhood I will happily try out. On the to the next one:)

EXTREMELY disappointing. There are many places that provide great spa experiences with expertise and professionalism, and this is NOT one of them.
I first tried I’Land Pedispa several months ago for a wax. They hadn’t heated up the wax long enough and it got stuck to my skin to the point that it took 30 painful minutes just to tweeze off the individual pieces. It was a horrible experience, but I wondered if it was a fluke and since I live just a block away, gave them another chance yesterday.
I came in for a blow out. The woman who did my hair appeared to have almost no experience. I could tell immediately that she lacked the technical abilities required for a great blow out and could barely manage the brush. The job she performed was equal or even less than what I could have done at home. What truly disturbed me was that all of the other employees seemed far more focused on doing each other’s hair and make up than helping customers. Actually, I initially sat down in a chair and was told to move since the receptionist was doing her make-​up and needed that mirror. Throughout the time I was there, I watched several employees cycle through getting their hair or makeup done, chatting about how they had to look good for a concert they were going to that night. I was in awe of the unprofessionalism. I was asked if I wanted something to drink mid-​service and quite halfheartedly. Before the service was finished, I was asked for my credit card and charged 45 dollars, which is far more than I would ever want to pay for this poor level of treatment.
DO NOT waste your time or money.

I went to this place to get a mani/​pedi and left completely satisfied. The décor was posh and very inviting. The staff was attractive, professional and very talented. I would recommend this place to ANYONE living in lakeview!

Love this place! I’m a frequent, every 2 weeks sort of gal for pedicures and this place hits the spot! I love their different Spa Pedicure Options to help relieve the hectic work week. It’s clean, awesome customer service, and there’s never really a long wait. They always address & fix my ingrown nail issue (the only reason why I come back every 2 weeks). This helps me during my work days when I have to wear closed toe shoes.
My only complaint is that there isn’t much consistency in matching Gel Nail polishes and polishes for the toes. Some of the other salons I’ve been to while living in other States always had matching Gel Polishes so it’s nice to have exactly matching fingers and toes.
But Overall. I always come back. I love this place!

I went here for the first time yesterday and was completely charmed. It’s beautifully decorated, everything is immaculately clean, and they offer wine. I got the Sea Breeze pedicure and my girl did a great job with every aspect. I’ll definitely go back.

I have to agree this salon has all the bells and whistles and I truly wanted to love it! Lovely well-​appointed stations, great color selections, prices in line with other day spas (pricier than strip-​mall nail salons, but hey I wanted the relaxing spa treatment and didn’t mind paying for the atmosphere and service). I’ve had a mediocre pedicure, a non-​satisfactory regular manicure performed by a rude clerk (when she realized I only wanted the mani and not a pedi she wasn’t happy) and then I foolishly went back and gave them another shot. This time I decided to indulge in a gel manicure. My thinking was to have a beautiful shiny manicure that would last through a few holiday functions.
HUGE mistake! I have had my share of gel manicures and NEVER have I had it chip off TWO days later. Unfortunately, the gel mani I received at I’land Pedispa was NOT shiny and like I said started chipping on day two; by day four I removed it at home and polished my nails myself! The entire reason to go gel is glossy perfect nails for several weeks. This gel manicure was the most expensive and totally unsatisfactory I’ve ever experienced.
Three strikes. I’land Pedisapa is OUT!!!

I have now been here for manicures, pedicures, a hair cut and blow outs. I have enjoyed all of these experiences and think they’re worth the money! Sheena is one of the hair stylists and she is simply WONDERFUL! She can do just about whatever you ask, talks to you about exactly what you want, and is extremely friendly. They are also very flexible there and able to work you in for an appt no matter how packed.

I can’t believe the reviews this place has. Everyone must be on crazy pills because once I found out about I’Land, I have stopped going elsewhere. The staff is friendly and super patient with me as I mull over the gazillion color swatches they have so I can be sure my hands and feet jive color wise (I’m picky about colors). I can’t remember the name of the fancy pedicure I get when I really need a pick me up, but they throw in rose petals and a beautifully scented foot scrub and the whole experience leaves you walking on air afterwards. Yes they can be pricey if you get all the bells and whistles but if I just need a basic manicure or polish change, they’re about average with everyone else. And why not go to a salon with a nicer environment for the same price as a no frills one?

The Lakeview crowd will probably love this place. It’s posh, sparkling, and full of well-​groomed attendants. It has flashy, beautiful new pedi-​spas set up, as well as modern grooming stations that are set up around the perimeter of the room. It certainly has the look of a well-​appointed nail salon.
I’m not impressed by the pedicure service I experienced today. I waited for almost an hour while empty chairs and idle staff just sat there. I was impressed with the array of pedicures at first, but upon closer inspection, they were the same pedicure with different scented oils. Once I got to the chair, I waited another 20 minutes for someone to come around to me. The women who were seated next to me waited through my entire pedicure for service.
My pedicurist commented on my skin («Woah! You’ve sure got some dry feet!) and exclaimed about my toes («Hahaha! How long HAS it been since you got a pedicure?! A loooooooooong time!).
I felt ridiculed and annoyed. And at the end I paid $ 60.00 for a lackluster pedicure including tip.
