This Gel mani with some nail design was 57.. without tips.
Farah K.

I've been coming here for a year or so now. Appointments are easy enough to get (I usually ask for Tom or Ivy) and the service is pretty fast (1 hour for gel removal and a gel mani with a little bit of design work usually for me). Could the customer service be warmer? Absolutely. I don't mind the lack of conversation or small talk when getting my nails tbh(i like zoning out when getting my nails done lol), but if just the front desk area could be a bit warmer would be nice. Also it is a little bit expensive. Ivy and Tom are always great. Never had an issue with either of their work. Today's mani pic is posted. Got sweater nails done by Ivy.

I had been meaning to come to this nail spa for a pedicure for awhile now. Today, after an intense gym session, the Mrs. suggested we swing by and I gladly obliged. What stood out to me was Ava's motto, posted out front, they Inside, the staff is super attentive, friendly and most importantly, for a guy like me, who's not the most experienced when it comes to pedicures, they were gentle with my feet. I'm glad we stopped by & I'm glad the service was so good, bc it's right down the street from my home, meaning I can frequent them more.

Very disappointing. Staff was friendly but distracted. Gel manicure and lacquer pedicure was over $100 with tip. Would not recommend

I love my nails short and simple. This spot gives you exactly what you need. I Prefer the dip gel nails. It's less bulky and does not Make your nail beds tingle when you get a new set, just remember what number you got when you need a filling.

Always a pleasure getting our nails done. Mike and Donna are such great artists. The perfect length for a young lady.

Jennifer was so quick and did my nails exactly like the picture I showed her. I never can find a tech that can give me exactly what I ask for, so needless to say she will be my go to!

Powder dip manicure

This place rescued my thin tattered nails after being stuck at home for three months during the pandemic. I opted for a powder dip manicure. Thom was my technician and he did a wonderful job. The manicure was relaxing and painless. He was very friendly. My nails were super short when I came in and Thom did his best to make my nails as even as possible. The salon is beautiful, bright, and clean. The fact that it is a cruelty free salon is a HUGE plus for me as well. I feel like myself again with these pretty nails. I have found my new favorite place. Definitely check this place out!

Mike's Pink and White (Ombre) Full Set Tips
Pri S.

The nail tech name was Mike. He was friendly but he did not ask for my name. If your a new client shouldn't you ask your client for there name so you can build a good client relationship? Guess not here. Basic friendly customer service was not offered like offering a free beverages. Mike did ask details of the shape and style of my nails I wanted. He was very attentive towards my nails. The nail salon is very modern. It was clean. I really loved the grey and white color scheme. I did also like that everyone was speaking English. Sometimes you go into a nail salon and everyone is talking in there native language. Here all the nail techs keep to themselves and there clients. I did over hear other nail techs being very detailed talking to there clients. Very professional. I wish the price list was more updated. I went in for a pink and white (ombre). On there website it stated $55. He told me $65 in person I asked why the price difference he just said new technique? Fill in for pink and white starts at $45. If anyone wants to keep that in mind. This did not include a manicure the normal soak your nails in a bowl of water and clean your cuticles. Mike did clean up my cuticles after when he saw it was dry. I also recieved a gel pedicure. Holly who did my pedicure was good at cutting down and cleaning the cuticles. The paint job was ok not the greatest. She did keep asking how I wanted it and if I was ok with it. I just said it was ok. Basic french pedicure. Overall very friendly lady. They do offer 10% discount for the services. I may give them a second try for my fill in. I took off 1 star for minor customer service issues and the price list. A second star for the paint job of my french pedicure.

There are truly not enough kind words I could use to describe my experience. Let me start off by…read moresaying Janine has an aura about her that is simply magnetic. You ever meet someone and instantly you feel at ease... well that's her for sure. Not only is she kind, professional, genuine and gentle; she is GREAT at her profession. My expectations were kinda low going in because I recently pulled out a bunch of my eyelashes. Not to mention I have relatively fine lashes (courtesy of my half Asian genes). The process was quicker than expected and the end result was full fanned out beautifully lifted, dark lashes. She was thorough with after care instructions and even gave me bonus undereye patches! I received a nice wand and after care instructions printed on a convenient card. I felt bad because I have two cats and could tell she was doing everything in her power to make me feel this wasn't a burden to her. The only reason I knew is because I am also allergic to cats, just medicated by an allergist. I have already planned out steps to diminish the dander/hair for my next appointment. She made me feel comfortable and important so I definitely would like to reciprocate. The quality and value of her work is top notch. Bottom line, I'll bet that after your first appointment you'll be a client for life. Side note: don't forget to tip your service industry workers! Hope this review helped!

This is my second time at this location. My nail tech relocated to this area. I had lost contact…read morewith her and she used to work at the Odenton location. She sent me a text of her new location. I'm glad she did. I always loved the way she did my nails. She's very creative with designs. If I show her a picture she will make it happen. I love this particular design and had to display it. I normally make my appointments on a weekday because weekends can become very crowded. They also take walk ins. Not sure how long the wait would be. They also have parking available on the front and backside of the building. I definitely will be returning to check out their pedicure services as well.

After living in the neighborhood for almost 2.5 years, I finally tried out Bliss with one of my…read morefriends. We booked an appointment ahead of time for 4 pm on a Sunday. When we got there, we were greeted by the receptionist, and it was relatively empty in there. We had both booked for gel nails and then picked out our colors. Their prices were more than what was indicated online, so it was $40 for gel and then an additional $15 for catseye polish (note they do not have the magnets for designs, so it's just plain catseye). This was done on our natural nails. My experience went relatively smoothly and very quickly. I had Tina, who completed within 20 minutes of starting, but I'm thinking that may not have been a good thing. My gel nails usually last for 2 weeks or so without chipping or peeling off, but these were chipping by day 5 and about a week in, one had peeled so badly that my nail snapped in half. My friend was not started on til i was almost done. Her nail tech switched halfway through as well, and another nail tech came by and made rude remarks about her hands twice, saying that the nail design she wanted would look ugly on her. The nail polish needed another color to help it show up the way it looked on the display/bottle, and there was a lot of back and forth trying to get that right. In the end, they were able to figure out a way to get it to look right, but that added an extra 40 minutes to her nails. The receptionist was great and helped advocate for her to get the correct shade. I like the convenience of having a nail salon within walking distance, but I think I'll stick with my usual unless these things change. It's not worth the money for early chipping and rude remarks.
