I had an appointment today with Eliza and she was awesome!! I showed her pics of what I was hoping for, and that’s what she did! It was no easy task. It was a mix of highlights and lowlights to help blend my greys naturally as they keep showing up. Eliza took her time because she wants her clients to be happy and it came out great!

I had a full set of acrylics with nail art done by Kalynn from Aveda Institute Boise. She is wonderful!!!!!! She was kind, attentive, and so skilled. She was so gentle with her e-file and meticulous about her prep work on my nails. She checked on me so many times during my service to ensure I was comfortable, offered me tea, offered breaks, and (my favorite) walked me through the process with explanations! This was my first time with acrylics and I was so nervous. I walked out feeling so confident. I gave her full creative control. She asked about my interests and created this bookish inspired set! She’s truly a gem with amazing skills!! Her nail art is top tier and the whole process was wonderful. I got so many compliments on my nails after!! I’ve already booked my next set!

I recently had the best pedicure experience I’ve ever had!! Being a marathon runner, my feet can take a battering. Getting laced up everyday can be a challenge especially when arches are achy, callouses are thick, or Achilles are screaming. My nail tech was acutely attentive to the care of my feet during my visit. She very quickly established an atmosphere of comfort and care with her attention to my unique situation and the punishment I put my feet through daily. I felt heard throughout the process. She is very talented and quite personable. I confess I came in with an unusual request for nail color, but she was not fazed in the slightest. I was very pleased with how they turned out and the work she put in to appeasing my ridiculousness. Thank you Kayli Brinker, it was great!!
