Absolutely dreadful service. Walked in and the lady at the reception counter asked “Hello, sir, what will it be today?” Obviously I replied with “spa treatment,” but disdainful nonetheless. Smiled whole time, never dropped any sense of politeness, the uniform they make them wear is hideous. Hideous! Sunny yellow aprons? Very, very last Spring.

Hospital staff nice enough. No unnecessary surgeries performed; released within the day. Was given stickers for good behavior. Would recommend to a friend.

So, just as a precursor: I’ve never been to a salon. Usually beauty salons don’t really cater to mermaids, but I’ve heard stories of people stepping into them on land and coming out relaxed and refreshed. Of course, when I heard that this salon had a water-accessible branch, I dove into the opportunity! Or, well, the staff sort of pulled me and everyone else into the place, but I wasn’t against going, so I didn’t mind.

And oh, the nails! They chose a shade that matched my pet and the pearls I wear. I asked them if they were psychic, and they just shrugged. But I think they’re definitely psychic.

This place is amazing! The staff is kind and friendly, albeit a little pushy at first. I told them to surprise me with a towel and nail color, and they chose colors that match my fur! The lady that did my pedicure was SUCH a gossip- and so easy to talk to. The price is also super agreeable- I was able to get a manipedi, a face mask, and a massage without breaking the bank! I will definitely be coming back here and recommending all my friends do the same!

BUMBERSOOT: Just one small problem, her lipstick appears to be slightly lopsided? If someone could please tell me how to fix this that would be appreciated, thanks!

I was taken care of almost immediately despite the salon being nearly full! The staff were very friendly and l had no trouble relaxing in such a warm, inviting place. The water in the footbath was nice and warm, and the chair even had a large hole at the back for tails! Just like my chairs at home, I suppose large tails are much more common than I thought. I choose a light blue nail polish to accent my scales and eyes- the color is perfect! And it looks much nicer than when I apply it myself~

I choose to opt out of the massage as I felt my small stature might be too much of an issue. Everything else was fantastic though! The only complaint I could give was the smells. I have a sensitive nose, the perfumes and nail polish were a bit too much for me. But I did like the scented candles, the lemon and pinegrass ones were my favorite~

First off, I just wanna say that everyone, no matter their occupation, deserves a little R n R. Even someone much like myself, sometimes even I need a break from pria… merchant-dealings. Upon receiving an invitation to this salon, free of charge, I figured “hey why not? It’s free!”

EXCUSE ME, MYCENAIL SALON! I am a DUDE, not a chick. I do NOT want lashes. I have no need for them. Lipstick? WHY!? And let’s not even get started on the “complementary manicure and pedicure” procedures. I’m never coming back. And you can forget about me giving you any GOOD reccommendations.

Aurora here, a member of Valen’s crew. He may not have liked the complementary services you’ve offered to him, but I have had a much more pleasant experience. I love my nails, and I’m quite happy with this 24-hour deep cleansing mask. Also the towel you provided my during my stay is extremely soft.

However, in the future, I would love to see a small bowl of fruit or a smoothie or something added to the services you offer. A few fresh nibbles are always more than welcome. Thank you for this wonderful stay, Mycenail Salon. I look forward to my next stay with you ;)

I was quite surprised when a new spa opened up in town and just had to rush over to check it out. Fortunately, it didn’t take long to get seen by an attendant at all despite the hype. The employees are very attentive! I had the most soothing massage in my life. Granted, I’ve never had a professional massage before! It was quite the experience. The attendants helped me select a package customized to my skin and fur type — they even had a cooling balm for my antlers. What a delight! Complementary tea and juices were offered while I waited my face mask to do its thing. First kaolin and seaweed to cleanse impurities and then a sheet mask to really seal in moisture and brighten my fur.

Overall, I would definitely recommend and I’m already planning on going again!

Simply fascinating. Is this how the peasants live? How wonderful. I feel as if I’ve broadened my horizons, today.

4/5 because there is always room for improvement and complacency breeds neglect. I expect my subjects to continue bettering themselves, for it is only together that we may build the foundations to a better future.

Wow I feel so refreshed! As a traveller, I spend so much time dirty and sore, sleeping in unfamiliar places, using unfamiliar products. I’m one break out away from killing my traveling companions, which wouldn’t be hard, I’d only have to swap their food.

Hello, my impression of this salon is generally good. But I’m a little shocked by my eyebrows and…face mask with lipstick. Is this how I have to wear a face mask? everything else was nice, even the color of the nails. Green suits the colour of my hair so I pleased him. But I look like a girl! I have nothing against but I would like some other procedure for the Mycenaeans male…(I’m confused)

Only one star, Rikur is really terrible at painting nails… Or maybe he’s really wonderful at it? Its kind of hard to tell. In either case he did a great job on my front paws, but on my back claws he somehow managed to paint the vicinity of my nails but not the nails themselves. I admit I am impressed at how the paint continues to hover on either side next to two of the nails on one back foot, but it was far from the look I wanted.

The massage was pretty good and the towel was extra fluffy so that was nice. But the facial mask gooped up my feathers and they smeared it all over my nares and that smelled weird. Then they put lipstick on my beak. I would not recommend if you’re not shaped like a typical mycenian, the employees seem to work primarily on autopilot. Though the floating make-up is kind of cool, it would be nice to know how they do that. It would be cool for Halloween.

I don’t often make it a point to visit the spa but when I found a free coupon for this new establishment I decided to take a gander. After persuading my friend, Astoria, to join me in the adventure we made our way to the Mycenail Salon.  The store front was pretty small, just an alcove that was partially hidden away by vines but inside was pretty clean and they had a fresh spring flowing in the corner. I looked around to see if there was any charts or price lists but it seems like you are just given what they decide and cannot make your own choice. (I left off a star for that in case you are a persnickety person like I am.)
Alget and Telga liked the spring and spent most of their time diving into the crystal clear water. Astoria especially liked the colour they picked out for her nails. I could have done with something less pink, but over all the service was quick, thorough, and relaxing. I came out of there feeling pampered and refreshed. I’m not sure if I’ll come back on my own, but is Astoria wishes to visit again I would be willing to accompany her.

So first of all, I have no idea why I was talked into visiting this “salon” in the first place. Second of all, can someone please look at my face and tell me what’s going on with it? Because I’m still trying to process it myself. Look, I get it. I get a nice massage, my paws get cleaned up a bit and polished… I can handle these things. However, the second I’m dozing off from the combination of massage-induced relaxation and my own, uh, “relaxation” I partook in earlier, my face becomes a playground for someone’s idea of a makeover? If you ask me, I would not call this a makeover. I don’t even think I fully understand what exactly happened to my face. It’s a travesty, to say the least.

@ everyone I live with, don’t you dare comment here or so much as giggle when you see me. I know where you sleep! >:|

I’ve long gotten used to the ladies who circle the court like incredibly boring, harmless sharks. They were entertaining for a while, but even I can only hear “the poor darling was raised in the ocean, of course she doesn’t have court manners!” and “my! another head? how grotesque!” so many times. To be quite honest, I would prefer a shark. Maybe I should ask Gwaine if I can keep one. Some humans keep dogs, right? It’s about the same.

Finally! A place to relax! I think I will certainly be coming back, as Ilvan seems to be repelled by all things salon-related. I dragged them there, kicking and spitting the first day, because Luper wanted us to “bond”. Needless to say… that went… badly. But I enjoyed the salon very much! My scales have never been more beautiful and shiny! The mask was very restorative! And I absolutely adore the nail polish, even if it is a bit… green. I would have gone for something a bit more teal, personally, but I trust the salon’s judgement. The name’s a bit off putting. Ilvan says it suits me, and I would have hit them had the “Minty Gremlin” not still been drying. I did, however, retort by saying that Ilvan’s suited them as well. “Violent violet”. It suits them so well. If I wasn’t absolutely anything but a gremlin, I’d say that the spa is almost too good at picking out nail polish for it’s customers.
In any case, Ilvan hates it, so…. 10/10 would come back.

terrible! just terrible! i came here for a massage and a makeover and they made me look like a rodeo clown even more than i usually do. service was creepy, invasive, and made me think way too much about my own insecurities!!

Replying to M. Degaine: Dear owners of the Mycenail Salon, I’m extremely sorry for this inaccurate and hasty review. My roommate got a hold of my phone and wrote this *while I was here*, enjoying the service I received. The people working here are very friendly, and the manicure came out very well! He was probably miffed I didn’t invite him along. Anyway, wonderful place, stunning service, definitely coming back- maybe with my phone on me this time.

While the experience I had at the salon was absolutely amazing, the outcome left much to be desired. I requested a blood orange nail polish, and while the salon delivered, imagine my surprise when I go home to find the nail polish turn into a bright purple with a single wash! When I returned to the salon to ask for an explanation, they told me that it must have been my soap and refused to do anything to help me. They didn’t even offer an apology, which would have been the least they could do, seeing as they didn’t warn me of any possible chemical reactions with soap.

Overall, I would not return, despite the amazing initial treatment. Would not recommend unless you are lonely and only looking for interaction and not a good nail polishing.

I do not recommend this place at all.

Do not visit this salon, as its materials are poor, and its staff is untrained.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of looking after my two granddaughters for some quality “girl time” so, when I heard about the (free!!!) spa treatment being offered, I just knew that we had to check it out.

Neither of my granddaughters were comfortable with getting back massages, so we decided to skip that and go right to having our nails painted. I decided to let one of the attendants pick a color for me because I didn’t have much of a preference (they made an excellent choice, I might add, as green is definitely my color), but the girls had a wonderful time picking out their colors. Lala picked out a purple because she thought it looked pretty and liked that it matched one of her dads, and Lillia specifically picked her color because she thought that its name was funny.

Ultimately, I would say that we had a far more enjoyable time than I was expecting, and I will absolutely make sure to let the rest of my family know so that they don’t miss out. My only complaint—and the reason I give this review a 4/5 instead of a perfect score—is that there was no free food offered. I know that this was already a free service being offered, but I really think that the spa could have benefited from giving out food to its guests. Thankfully, there was a place next door that was offering free ice cream samples, so not even the lack of free food was enough to take away from the overall experience!

I never thought of going to a Salon at all, I prefer working at my Cafeteria or taking care of my flower garden. But soon I realized all of my faithful customer were gone, in curiosity I tried to find out where they’ve gone…

As curious as a cat I am, I entered the salon. To be honest the service was quite good. The staffs were friendly. The nail polish they applied on me was called “Pumpkin Peril” and I absolutely loves it, since it matches my fur, and tangerine is my favorite color. The only thing I don’t like from this place is the face mask and the bright red lipstick, I mean… seriously?! I’m all green and stuff! The Mycenians outside the salon… they’re all looking at me with a chuckle escaped from them! But the rest of the services are good, I’d like to give you 3 out of 5!

I don’t remember coming here. I just woke up in the middle of them attempting to rub cold, wet goop on my claws with a tiny brush. It felt really weird while they were doing it and it did not feel any better after. I suppose at least the color they choose somewhat matched my outfit, but… no, it was not worth the hassle.

I would give 0 stars if that was an option. 0/5 would not recommend.

wow!
i haven’t been to a spa in a really long time… okay, actually i havent been to a spa ever. most spas dont service people with wings and feathers and claws :( but this spa did! it was really nice, they do massages and baths but i didn’t do either of those, i just picked the manipedi package and the facial. the ladies who helped me were both really nice, one of them kept complimenting my wings. i let her keep a feather that fell out. [sakura flower emoji][sakura flower emoji][sakura flower emoji] the clay mask smelled really nice. i would have given it five stars but i really don’t like the color they picked out for my nails. its kind of an icky green… i wouldve liked lavender or pink better :( but everything else was very good!! id bring a friend here, maybe ill bring jasper some time… please let me pick the color for my nails next time!! thank you! [praying hands emoji]

Hello!

I think that’s all I have to say. Thank you Mycenail Salon, and thank you to anyone who reads my review! I hope it was helpful.

When a salon appeared out of nowhere, I will admit I was hesitant at first, but, being a hairless cat in a dusty cave usually means my skin could used some extra TLC, so I decided to take the risk and head on into the brand new business, and boy am I glad I did! The face masks were out of this world, so much so that I paid the salon employees extra to use the mask all over my body! They said they don’t normally do it, but the customer service and flexibility was excellent and now i am moisturized head to toes with clean pores.

All in all, it was a great trip to the spa! And the staff even picked out a beautiful shade of pink for my nails. Would highly recommend and I’m eager to book my next appointment!

I’m loving these reviews!  GOOD READING. 8)

While I can’t claim to be a salon connoisseur, they are a passion of mine. Everyone deserves to feel pampered and there is almost no better way than to get a nice massage and makeover! I came with that in mind and was relatively satisfied – hence the three-star rating.

The salon simply has to be given credit for its incredible products! The massage was one of the best I’ve had. I was worried the kelph who helped me might hurt me because what a size difference, but they applied the perfect amount of pressure!! The makeup lasted a full day without smudge, wear, or tear. Even the nail polish is high quality, incredibly smooth and resistant to scratches. (In fact, I’m a little worried it might not come off, which isn’t great since it is a bit of an odd color… a lot of them were, actually… ).

Unfortunately, not all the staff were as nice as the kelph who gave me my massage. The ineki who applied my face mask did so in a sloppy and rough fashion which did not mix well with my delicate skin and made the makeup sting when applied. I also felt incredibly pressured to try ALL the services despite the ridiculous prices!! But if you’re up for feeling a little harassed, I’d still suggest giving it a try!

This… Is a perfectly mediocre salon. You get what you pay for- which is not a lot. Considering that the manipedi, mask, lipstick and eyelashes were free, it was pretty okay… Is what I would say, but I’m pretty sure I saw people too ashamed to go out and hiding their faces in Sullie’s Closet.

Anywho, I only really wrote this review to inform others that the towels are super soft and fluffy and nice and if you talk to Carol she’ll give you a coupon for a free towel. So go storm Carol right now for those towels.

First and foremost let’s get this out of the way, when it comes to salons I have no idea what I’m talking about, none, never been in one in my life. Which would be how I ended up in this one, because Ada’s sister couldn’t go and I, apparently, am next down the list when she needs an outing buddy.
It was free, who am I to complain about that?

Anyway, so, there was this whole massage and relax thing, which was actually pretty great. Never thought I’d call myself a message type but hey, it was actually alright? Then there was the clay mask, which while no one can explain to me coherently why clay is good thing was fun, at least to smear on Ada, though my face feels great so I guess it worked. Then the nails, given the face the ineki that got stuck with Ada and I made mine were bad (I am sorry, I keep them cut but my job is hard on paws, things get split and broken) but they did a great job cleaning them all up and painting them, I wasn’t so sure about the blue but it looks alright. According to Ada I really can’t get any more loud color wise which… isn’t wrong so I guess the blue works? I like it, makes me feel fancy.
So all in all? I had a good time, three stars.

Absolutely lovely, yes, that is how I would describe my time in the salon. When I heard a salon had opened up and none other than by Rikur himself. To be a bit honest I was a tad worried to say the least. Rikur having a bit of a reputation, although I’m not one for gossip, but he tends to lean to what ever side has more coin. You didn’t hear that from me though, our little secret on this board. Hush hush and all that. But to my pleasant surprise the anxiety I had been consumed by was soon put to rest after I walked to the doors.

Hope to see all of you lovely Mycenian’s there, you all now where I’ll be spending my free time. <3
