They also only do cash-only but have an atm inside. Gel manicure lasted about 2 weeks and pedicure is still going strong after almost a month. They accept walk-ins and have limited parking in the front.

Ever since the owners niece left I haven't been here and so I thought I would give it a try…read more I came in at nine in the morning when they just opened, the older lady that I believe is the owner said she could do one service because she had other appointments and to come back for the other service. So she did my toes, I got regular polish, even though she was not accurate on coloring the full Nail I figured whatever I could just remove the polish later. I left and came back to do a gel manicure however I did have gel X nails, she charged me $10 to remove on top of the manicure however, when I realized that she was not able to take off fully what I previously had, I told her I would just rather do a regular manicure no gel, so she charged me $30 total. $20 for a manicure and $10 for the removal of the gelx however, she did not remove it completely. Again, she was not accurate with the nail polish, which caused the paint to be uneven, cakey and just horrible. I told her that I would want a different color, but she refused to remove the color she claimed she did her "job". I had chosen a mustard color to begin with, and if I would've known, she wasn't able to take off completely the gelx I had then I would've gone with something different like sparkles.

My pedicure experience was immaculate- I still dream about it! Lisa was very gentle, kind, and patient. The ambiance was so relaxing- I fell asleep. The work was very clean and done well.

Updated review, only caused they asked me to leave a review, even after I told them I already did…read more I'm not sure how the quality went down. Both my daughter and I got pedicures and my daughter also got a manicure, no gel (my daughter is 10). They said they couldn't do a design on her nails cause she wasn't getting gel, they could only use stickers? My pedicure was mediocre, I've never had a tech immediately go in with an electric file. I guess she assumed I had gel on my toenails? I paid for the pamper me pedi, but it felt very basic. The pedicure itself was sloppy. My daughter's pedicure was good. However her manicure chipped in a day. I get that regular polish chips much more quickly than gel, but if they only want to work with gel polish, then they shouldn't offer regular polish. I was disappointed in the end. It felt like we were being penalized for not getting gel. Even though we had an appointment, I felt like we were in the way. I'm so sad, I really thought I had found my nail shop.

The place is spacious with a good amount of stations. The service is great as soon as you walk in…read more I did not have an appointment and they were able to accommodate me. I was assigned to Lynn T for a full set with french tips. Lynn was very patient and good a recommending what would look best. I'm very peculiar about my french tips. I don't like a pink looking base and she got ot just right. I would definitely be back for my fills and to try other services.

Honestly super disappointing that I have to leave this review because of one bad technician,…read morebecause I've been coming here for years and they've been my go to. Came for a gel pedicure and noticed pain. When I saw bleeding I told her she hurt me and I was brushed off and both my pedicurist and manicurist said that it was there before!!! For weeks my toe has hurt and now it has become infected. So disappointed.

So I posted a review earlier when I got my nails done I thought it was absolutely amazing he did a…read morereally good job on my first set which is the gold and flowered nails! But when I went in there yesterday we've had an appointment at 3 PM and we got there exactly at 3 PM there was two other ladies in there and I feel that he should've told them that he had appointments at 3o'clock but he kept going back-and-forth between these two ladies my daughter and myself and the two ladies twice went outside and took a 15 to 20 minutes pot smoking break so in The end the nails were not done as good as before I wanted to flower design and I had asked him I said how long are you gonna be with those ladies more and he said 20 minutes their remark was like really! Excuse me but we had an appointment and I feel that he could've said look I can do one of use but I have two people coming in at 3 PM, but instead he tried to take care of everybody, and he did as you can see the crappy ass job on my nails this time... I didn't see it when it was dark because that's what time we left but today in the daylight they are just not good!!! I thought OK this is Kim's old nail shop maybe just maybe this is going to be good shop again! But after yesterday I really need to find me a nail shop that is going to do a really good job and not try to rush between four or five people! And when we set up a reservation to come in I feel that he should've just finished with the one lady's nails and then did ours but instead he continued on to do theirs and they had a little bit of an attitude with us and I really don't care! You should've made yourself an appointment also! And when I looked at my toenails when she did my pedicure she forgot to put the topcoat on! She was in a rush to get out of there also! I just think maybe I misJudged this mail so take -over! I guess I'm gonna look for someone that can do designs because I really wanted flowers on my nails but I also need somebody who's going to send out all the little dips in my nails right now because there are so many dips! Well I guess it was good while it lasted! And the reason why I gave it four stars is because I like the way he did my nails the first time and my pedicure the first time

This review is long overdue!…read more I've been going to Twinkle Nails for over a year now, and I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. I always book with Thi, and she is absolutely fantastic. No matter what design, color combination, or random inspiration photo I bring her, she executes it flawlessly every single time. I've attached a few photos of some of the sets she's done for me over the past year because her work really speaks for itself. One thing that always impresses me is how healthy my natural nails have stayed. These are my real nails, and I only get gel manicures, so I can't personally speak to acrylics or some of the other nail services they offer. What I can say is that my nails consistently look amazing, last well, and receive compliments all the time. I've also had pedicures here and they've always done a great job. I don't have one specific technician I regularly see for those, but I've never had a bad experience
