Nina has done my nails twice and Kaitlyn did them twice. They both did a beautiful job, paying attention to every detail to ensure I was happy with my nails. Today I replaced my Christmas plaid and tree with midnight blue cat eye and I love it!

Excess glue and lifting after 2 days

Unfortunately 140 dollars for a basic pedicure with gel and a basic acrylic set with gel and no design.

My pedicure with my gel polish. Once again nail polish color 62.

Like I said I would go back and I did! I made my appointment with TIFFANY!! I love how she listened to me. She takes her time! When I say Tiffany takes her time she removed my old acrylic nails and I got a new set. We talked and laughed and she made my nails perfectly square and a perfect length. I love this nail spa because the vibe and atmosphere along with the colors and the offer of complimentary water or soda and the soft music in the background. Tiffany is the best. She also did my toes perfectly. Of course I'm going back and of course I made my appointment with none other than TIFFANY!

Peeling polish after only 2 days

I got my nails done here on Saturday, 2 days ago, and I will never come back to this shop again. I got a gel manicure and pedicure and it was not what I expected. First off, after soaking my feet and chipping my toes, the nail tech proceeded to paint my toe nails first before actually cleaning my feet. Now I'm no expert but I have never had that done in that order in over 20 years. Then she did my gel manicure and after only 2 days it's peeling. Like really!!! Lastly, I got my eyebrows and lip waxed, which at this point I should have stopped any services with her, and it was a total waste of money. My eyebrows were not ached correctly and she didn't even wax in between my eyebrows like everyone else before her has done. Now to put the cherry on top, she kept asking if I wanted my chin waxed and after several no's I asked her why do you keep asking me that when there's no hair there. She rubbed her hands across my chin so she knew that already. All of this cost $170 which was by no means worth it. It's a shame to because I'm trying to find my permanent nail shop and this one is not it!!!

You can see the uneven polish on the nail.

I really wanted to love this place because it's new, clean, and close to home. However, Jessica gave me the worst manicure I've ever had. Literally, I went home and removed the polish myself and did a much better job than what I left this salon with. Jessica did the first coat of polish perfectly. The second coat was a mess and you can see from the picture she did not start at the cuticle, the whole thing was uneven. I didn't want to make a scene because the place was packed, but just decided then and there that I wouldn't return. There are too many competitors who are much more careful of the work they do and the care they take.

beautiful and they are so nice! Caitlyn did my nails and did amazing. she took her time and they're shaped beautifully. very kind and comforting environment.

Horrible

Only giving one star because it doesn't allow me to give zero. I will not be coming back. This is the worst pedicure I've ever had in my life. Crooked cut nails, horrible painting and when asked to fix, no fixing was done. Can't believe I paid $50 for this.

Nails, Nails, Nails

See all

Very nice and clean place. Pricing is very fair and quality is at its best. So glad they opened up close to me. They have a new customer.

Tom does my hands and McKenzie does my feet, and they are both absolutely stellar at what they do.

I got a gel mani pedi and the girl who did them spoke in Vietnamese to the worker next to her the entire time. She also made a few of my fingers bleed and some of my toes bleed with how rough she was going. She also finished my entire gel manicure in less than 15 minutes. I felt extremely rushed and not at all relaxed. Thankfully I also booked a massage with Laura who was great. I was hoping for a better outcome since I go to ocala frequently to see family. Spent $300+ just to feel like my time was rushed through and they were ready to fill the seat again which felt very uncomfortable and awkward

Since then a nail falls off almost every week or they get chipped and aren't shaped right (i honestly didn't notice at first with the shape) I came back for a fill (new nail) and a pedicure and what a mistake ! My nail beds on my toes started bleeding and she filled my toe down so much it was in pain literally just take the toe nail atp. The nails aren't painted well and I just had another nail chip . The inside is absolutely beautiful and the girls are so nice customer service is tip tier and that's why I'm giving 2 stars , you get a free beverage and there is never a wait but I don't think I can come here anymore it's just too many visits in the last few weeks I haven't gone a week without a nail coming off and I haven't an office job .
