Review Integrity
Our Commitment to Transparency
Our Position on Fraudulent Reviews
At Luxe's Nails & Spa, we take our reputation seriously. We recently identified a fraudulent review that does not represent a genuine customer experience.
We have personally verified through our Square appointment system that there is no record of the reviewer as a customer. Our payment records and customer directory confirm that no transaction or appointment was ever made under the reviewer's name.
We believe every business deserves protection from fraudulent reviews, and every consumer deserves access to honest, accurate information when choosing a service provider.

We are pursuing every available avenue to protect our business and our customers from fraudulent reviews.
