I have been using Zinas for a few months now, having received mani/pedis, bikini waxing, and a haircut. I am generally pleased with everything. The mani/pedis are some of the best around (I have tried several places around the city)...they last the longest and are very relaxing. One nail tech clipped my cuticles too much (lesson learned...ouch), but that was the only poor experience. The waxing is fantastic...the waxer put me completely at ease and was quick and super sweet. Finally, the haircut I received was exactly what I wanted, and I received a student discount to boot. It came to $25...cheapest I've paid for a good cut in years. \r

The only downside, as others have said, is that Zina herself can be kind of pushy and definitely seems to butt heads with the staff. I just stick firm to what I want...and the rest of the staff is really a pleasure. The salon is clean and well maintained (unlike the other Zenas in Mt. Vernon...yuck!), the other clientele friendly, and I always look forward to my upcoming appointments.
Pros: Great manicures & pedicures, waxing, and haircuts. Clean and well-maintained. Great staff.
Cons: Pushy owner. Expensive.
