Manicure "Nail Techs" Expect Big Tips or will Mistreat YOU
by Crispania at Citysearch
The manicurist's are very rude. Only friendly if you are tipping them in excess of 25%. Their manicures & pedicures are higher priced than any salon. That's fine, but the problem is the attitude of the manicurist. The owners of Beautique should train their people on not to expect big tips in this economy especially from repeat customers thare in there once a week. They are paid a % for each customer, one would think they would try to be grateful for repeat business and a modest tip. Everyone is cutting back right now, and should work together. I have been going to the same person for over 10 years once a week. I tip generously. My business is down, I want to keep going and reduced my tip from $5 dollars each time to $3-$4. I was treated so badly by this manicurist who I thought understood my situation and valued me, but NOT. She was terrible, cold and out right mean. Did not speak to me the whole session. I'm the customer, still paying, still tipping and not to mention each year at Christmas I give this person a $100.00 cash gift. I spend with manicure and pedicure each month minimum $200 per month plus tips.I won't go there anymore (at least not to her). The Beautique should train their employees on this issue. The lady at the front desk "AVEDA" is alos very pushy about tips and makes you feel uncomfortable. I understand working for tips. These nail techs are being paid a % of each customers tab and hourly and a tip.Too many hardworking manicurists and salons out there that appreciate long-term paying customers.
- Pros: Nice Salon, BUT Attitude is POOR
- Cons: They expect BIG TIPS, if you don't, they are very RUDE

Ok Brazilian
by pas71 at Citysearch
I went to Beautique for a Brazilian wax and it was ok. The place is huge, and I had never been there before, but the receptionist downstairs brought me up to the second floor to another receptionist. That receptionist then pointed me in the right direction. Unfortunately, there is no nice waiting area. I was seated at a small glass table with 4 chairs, the other three being occupied by another guest and her two very small children. There were only a couple of outdated magazines and no couches, not to mention we weren't offered any water or anything. The Brazilian was very quick, probably about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, she was absolutely silent! I kept trying to chatter about anything at all to keep my mind off of the pain, but all I got out of her were one-word remarks. I knew she was rushing because there was someone else waiting for her, but still, she could have talked with me just a bit. The service was definitely bare-minimum, but they do charge about $20 less than many other area salons. I don't want to mention the girl's name here, because perhaps she was just having a bad/hurried day, but I will definitely request someone else in the future.
- Pros: quick
- Cons: silent aesthetician, painful, lack of waiting area

Worst Brazillian Ever
by crazi_ness82 at Citysearch
I have been going to another salon in Houston and opted to try Beautique because they charge $30 less and Rice Village is super close to my house. I walked in as a new customer and normally people are showing you around and where to go etc. Not this place! I felt like I was bothering them to navigate through the enormous place. I went to 3 different receptionists, all of which pointed to the right direction rather than showing me. They all seemed miserable. Then I got to wax area where Jennifer I think , looks like courtney love, walked in and said come on back. She said "drop trow im gonna see it anyway" I was never asked if this was my first time. If it wouldve been my first I wouldve been scarred for life. The wax room itself was scary. It was honey wax with strips. I have always been waxed with blue hard wax. She pulled my legs apart in a way that I felt violated. She started and was done in under 5 minutes....I was screaming out loud bleeding and in shock and she would almost scream at me to relax my legs that were shiverring from pain and she forced my legs to go back to where she wanted them all the while screaming relax. I was afraid when I got done and looked down and my area was bleeding a lot. She hands me a paper towel and walked out. Everyday forward I have had some major skin zit/bunp/rash down there. I am ebarrased for my hubby to see it it looks so bad. I will never come back here. You will feel like you have enetered the cattle call. and leave feeling violated, Stay Away...unless you dont care how butchered your lady area is...I am going back to Wild on Wax who charges more but have never left my lady part in such bad shape, They are so sweet over there and i dont get zits down there like the ones Beautique gave me
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: everything
