La Palette

I usually never leave reviews but I feel like LaPalette deserves one and I wish I knew abt them sooner!

Gel manicure ($30) : man who did it for me was so detail-oriented. Redid 2 of my nails bc they weren’t completely smooth (first time for me that someone took the time to do that)

Eyelash extensions ($120) : first time getting lash extensions, and it was a lot quicker than I thought (less than 1 hr). Since it was my first time and I didn’t really know what to get, she first trialed some on me and asked how I liked them, and then made adjustments for the final set. Turned out just how I wanted!

Apparently they’re closed on Mondays tho, and make sure to text the number for an appointment.

This place is sub-par at best- I tried out a manicure twice and both were a fail. The first one was a powder dip which was layered on in a way that was so just thick and cakey- it was clear they had no idea how to do dip powder or how to manipulate/layer the colors. I decided to give this place another shot in the event it was an isolated incident, i opted for gel the second time around and asked for cute nail art on my ring fingers (based on all the photos they had on their site) but it looked awful and something my 8 yo niece would have drawn, I can’t believe I paid extra for it. Long story short- pass on this place, there are plenty of better options out there.

Edit to owner’s response: this is a review from your shoddy’s service past, I just hadn’t gotten around to it- but smart move on removing services you can’t properly perform yet still charged for.

My eyelashes look beautiful. Such a relaxing atmosphere that I fell asleep while getting my eyes done. It was a great experience. I will be going back every three weeks and am also thinking of becoming a VIP member. Next, my eyebrows!

I'm soot happy with my haircut from Sunny. I never change my hairstyle and I wanted something different and daring. She was honest, told me I couldn't do what I had asked for which was a digital perm, but kindly gave me options. She ended up cutting 5 inches, but went inch by inch so I felt comfortable. I absolutely love my cut. I think I've found my new hair stylist. Thanks sunny:)

My wife and I have been visiting Yuan for years. She always takes meticulous care with my hair - and always comes up with crazy ideas to suit my wife's more adventurous taste! Ask for Yuan!

Omg! I just went to get my eyebrows clean but she don’t care fully about the waxing is all around my hair this is badly. I just got my hair done and go clean my Eyebrows. You should to be care fully. And don’t look at customer cheap and bad attitude

Bad! Cuticles are improperly cut and I was bleeding right away after she did it! Then I went back home noticing 3 other cuts that started to bleed. 2 days after I’m still bleeding and it still hurts. I’m worried cuz one of the cuts seemed to get infected already. I would never recommend this place. SO UNPROFESSIONAL!

Love this salon! I recently moved to Philly from KC where I had the best lash girl so I was nervous about having to find another person in a new city. After doing a bit of research I found La Palette to be the best option so I booked an appointment. Scheduling the appointment was super easy and they got me in right away! The salon is very pretty and clean! Everyone who works there is very professional and extremely nice. Typically a new set of lashed took my old girl about 2 hours, she was very detailed and thorough which I appreciated. I was shocked when I was in and out of La Palette in a little over an hour but what was even more shocking is how beautiful my lashed looked. I went in not knowing what to expect because I was so used to and loved my old girl but I was definitely impressed! I've been going to La Palette now for about 5 months and I won't go anywhere else! There are 3 different ladies that do lash extensions there and they are all outstanding. They are priced reasonably and even offer membership packages which brings the price down even more. I go every week to get a fill and about every 3 weeks for a new set. However, right now I'm letting them all shed because I'm giving my natural lashes a break for a bit. It's been over a month since I've had my lashes done and they still look amazing! If you are considering lash extensions or need a new lash place I highly recommend La Palette!

This place was awesome! Came with my 2 younger daughters. Neck massage while my nails dried. Wow!

If you get your nails done in Philly, make the trip to Chinatown 100% worth it.

Service I get done:

gel manicure - limited colors but the ONLY colors you would ever want. A different brand but so strong. They also insure your nails up to a WEEK after service, fix it for free.gel pedicure - great massage chair, nice smelling soaps. They give you the business

Eyelash extensions - not only are the prices more than reasonable, the lashes last so long. I am blown away how great they look and I constantly get complimented.

Overall service- Great pricing, super cute salon with perfect ambiance. In the heart of Chinatown so surrounded by good food. Staff is so nice and efficient. Never had a wait time longer than a few minutes.

I love the way Ceci did my eyelashes. Looks very natural and feel soft like your real lashes, it last pretty long!

Staff was so great! They even massaged my neck while waiting for my nails to dry. The only down fall is that I feel the polish is not as strong or maybe if they applied another coat that it would last longer. It chipped quickly and not a small chip a large chip. They also told me I can come back up to 10 days to get them redone for free. Maybe they should get a stronger brand of polish. Other than that staff was great, friendly and place was clean.

Just came in for an eyebrow wax. $10 and they were nice and quick. I think they did a great job. The place was really pretty. I took off 1 star because they didn’t have a dedicated space for brows so I sad in the pedicure chair.
