Very home like feeling and great beds ❤️ I love it there I'm from Columbus and used to go to fiesta salon and they only had 2 tanning beds but so worth it this place reminds me of that place but they have more beds than fiesta. My friend got her eyebrows waxed and they looked really great! Plus the price is great expessially for tanners like me that are only able to get out and tan once a week!!

I'm not sure how to describe my experiences here. It's the only tanning salon by campus, so people come to it. It's cheap, which I love, but it comes with a different type of "price". The tanning rooms themselves are dirty. There are old towels left from the people before, and random things on the ground. Sometimes nails from who knows where, other times trash. You clean the bed beforehand, because I'm not very confident they get cleaned in between each client. Everytime I've been, the owners have been kind. Sometimes they're preoccupied, but they get me

I came here to get my hair dyed back to my natural color as I was too nervous to do it by myself. Muna did such an amazing job and I love my hair! She also knows how to cut curly hair which is hard to find- I got a trim when I wasn’t expecting to get my hair cut and I love it. I definitely will be returning & highly recommend this place to anyone in the Clifton area!

Nasser, the lead stylist and owner, is one profound man.. He will make you look and feel amazing.. This man has a huge love for his profession.. He transformed my mop head into a presentable man ready for college classes and local Clifton night life.... A real must if you're in Clifton and in need of a hair cut or dye job..

I was looking for the exact kind of person and salon to deal with my thick unruly hair, and finally the search is over! He gave me an amazing haircut within a matter of 15 minutes and let me remind you again that my hair are thick shoulder length and quiet unruly in summer. My only suggestion is that they should have the shampooing of the hair before the haircut if they are gonna charge 25$ onwards. I have heard from my friends that they do shampoo the hair but they never did mine.

The owner (Nasser) is sassy but he knows what he's doing. If you tell him you want your hair cut a certain way, he'll do it but if it's not the best look for you he won't be afraid to tell you. He's been cutting hair for years and years, heck, it's HIS SALON. He cut and styled my hair in 15 minutes, and it's absolutely perfect. If you tell him to "do what it wants" you will come out with a perfect haircut that fits you. Trust him with your hair, you won't regret it.

I have been tanning at NK for 2 years. The tanning packages are affordable and much better prices than any other tanning salon in the area. The staff is very friendly and I have never had to wait for a bed. I also love that the staff is never pushy about buying packages or lotions-unlike any other tanning salon I have tried. The beds are all standard tanning beds (no stand ups), and this is the perfect place for the occasional tanner like myself. I would definitely recommend NK!

I like this place because it's affordable. I have gotten my eyebrows and lip done from all: Mona, Nasser, and Amber. Nasser charges $19; Mona and Amber charge $17 (tip extra for service, as always). I would suggest getting eyebrows and lip done only from Mona unless you absolutely had to get them done the same day. The waxing heater needs to be replaced/cleaned. They offer the best price in the area, compared to the newly opened House of Brows. Update: European Wax Center in the area seems to offer better and cleaner experience nowadays!

Despite the mediocre reviews, I decided to give NK a shot-exclusively because a dear friend emphatically recommended Munna at a time when I was in dire need of a hair cut with no where close to go.
In typical fashion, I kept forgetting/putting off making an appointment. I was shocked when I called on a Tuesday and was able to schedule and appointment for Wednesday at 2. This is a small shop that seems to take quite a few walk ins. I had a 2:00 appointment, and I would say my hair cut started about 2:20 or 2:30. Initially, I was a bit annoyed; I always am when I make an appointment for something

Most of the reviews that are here are for the eyebrow waxing... I can't speak of that, though I always hear the clients say that her brow work will change you. In a good way, of course.
My review is for the salon portion- NK has been styling my hair for almost 10 years and I won't go to anyone else. I've tried several other salons around town and Nassar has the best prices, hands down, and he get's the job done. He gives me confidence to try new looks when I ask because he really understands how hair can change the shape of your face and bring out your fabulous features.

NK Salon & Tanning is terrible. It's a trashy, low-maintenance dump that targets college kids with tanning packages and cheap cuts. While the deals are good, it is not worth your money. They offer poor to mediocre haircuts, and the tanning is just awful. The beds are very low quality, the A/C is non-existent, you clean everything yourself (and trust me, it NEEDS cleaning) and it's just an overall horrible time. The staff is also very rude and obnoxious (although I admit a little entertaining at times) and I would never go back. I've gave this place a few tries, all of which went

I'm a big believer in both patronizing local businesses and second chances, but my second go at NK Salon and Tanning was even worse than the first.
First and foremost, let me say that the young lady who did my eyebrows (Amber) was a very kind, polite, respectful young lady who seems very passionate about what she wants to do. Her attitude, and her attitude alone is the only reason I didn't completely lose my cool this past Saturday afternoon at the end of receiving my services. (To her credit, Amber really tried to engage me in conversation, and seemed to listen to what I wanted; the

This is the best eyebrow wax service I've run across. Bar none.
I've been to quite a few Cinci locations for eyebrow waxing, and NK's does it faster, cheaper, and more deftly than any other salon in the area. It never takes more than five minutes and I love the way that they shape my brows- nothing crazy or extremely pencil-thin, but not something I could achieve just on my own, either. I usually get it done only once a month because they do such a thorough and good job (i.e., they rarely use the tweezers because they're so precise on the waxing).
A side note on the virtues
