    To be honest I don't get my nails done often and I appreciate how much patience the nail tech had with me and how much I wanted to change everything. I didn't like my manicure and she re-did it completely for me! My toes turned out beautiful as well on the first try. The manicure the second time around still wasn't exactly what I wanted but I appreciate her effort, time, and kindness. My only complaint outside of not getting **exactly** what I was looking for would be that I was sent home with messy fingers. In reality I could and should've spoken up about that too while I was there. It was a learning curve for me for sure.

    Just prior to washing my hands, after she'd finished.

    ** Update: I was offered a refund for the manicure which was greatly appreciated. She did ask me to remove the review though since I got a refund on the manicure ($40 back for the mani, but still paid for the $55 pedi) which is a little off putting, but it's here to stay for now ** I feel really bad leaving this review because they were so kind. But holy crap, the nails are TERRIBLE. The only reason I'm leaving 2 stars is because they were so kind and my pedicure looks great. I paid $95 total for a new set and pedicure - I was too ashamed to speak up which is my fault, but the photos don't do it justice. I got a full new acrylic set and asked for the ombré nails. She knew exactly what I wanted and I wanted them a certain length. But this is what I ended up with - I paid and left, and am on my way to a different salon to get them completely redone but I want to cry looking at them. They're way too short for my liking, the shape and color are completely off, and they left my crusty with cuts on my fingers from the nail file. I won't be coming back.

    Today I went for my first pedicure since having foot surgery, and Katie was amazing. She took great care to be careful with my healing foot. I also had an acrylic gel manicure with Linda. She gave me the most beautiful Christmas nails and did such a flawless job with the nail art. It was such a relaxing afternoon, and I love my nails!

    Love the color!!!

    I was really pleased to find this little nail salon near my home. I didn't have an appointment and they were able to quickly take me in and work on my nails. Kathy was very efficient and down to business. She did a fabulous job and didn't nick me or cut me at all! I think I will be back! I'm ready to party!

    The BEST nail salon!!! I am so amazed and happy with the service, perfection and all the hard work they do to make your nails perfect. I came across this salon because I was in desperate need of having my nails fixed before my Vegas trip, the day after a place in Encinitas gave me horrible nails, I came here and Sophie fixed them perfectly and saved my girls trip! THANK YOU SOPHIE!!!!. They are so kind and friendly, if you are looking for a nail salon with amazing customer service and amazing prices, you need to come here!! And look how cute she did my nails for Valentine's Day!!!

    This is our neighborhood nail salon. I brought my daughter in for a mother daughter night and they treated her like a princess. She had the best time! I also really like how Katie does my nails. She's great!

    Super sweet ladies work here and they're honest about what they can and can't do. I was thankful they were honest saying they'll do.m a rendition of that I wanted so I wasn't disappointed and actually loved them more than the picture! She listened to my wants and checked in to see if I liked the shape and feel to them, which I appreciated. Thank you, Kathy! Will be back!

    Don't let them cut your nails . You will have none left and get ingrowns after

    They don't seem to care. The funny thing was I was the only one in there and there were 3 techs there. However they still rushed and butchered my nails . They were all like this. Now it hurts to have my shoes on and was supposed to go hiking. Guess I have to cancel that .

    Brides gel mani
    Elizabeth O.

    My step Daughter and I had our nails done prior to my wedding. We brought some Pinterest pics for examples. The ladies did a great job and our nails looked fantastic! My step daughter got a full set of acrylics with 10 nail designs ans I got a gel mani with sparkle design. We also got pedicures. It been 6 days and our nails still look perfect. The only reason I gave 4/5 is because the lady I made the appointment with a month prior did not come in to work that day and because they were short staffed we couldn't get our eyebrows done. Otherwise it was perfect! This will be our go to nail salon.

    Amazing salon with such a sweet staff! Sophia did my gel and was very patient and paid close attention to detail when doing my nails. I also love that they did a soak off of my acrylic nails instead of chipping them off like other salons. I will definitely come back for my next set and ask that Sophia does them. She's amazing!!

    Ombré glitter nails

    Both Sophia and Ruby are amazing! Love these ombré glitter nails Ruby did for me so affordable for pedicure and nail!

I requested the Hanny pedicure, the massage was amazing but the paint job is very poor. My nails didn't looked filed or shaped. I had to fix to my best ability after I left the salon. My friend and I were rushed out of our chairs while they attempted to fix her services. The employee also yelled at the employee who messed up in front of us which was extremely uncomfortable. They never even fixed her nails. They moved us and made us wait. After I went to pay an employee took my debit card and then walked away. A couple minutes later another employee came over and I told her they had my card and I was trying to pay. She apologized and handed me my card back. She then stated that the other employee never charged me and she would need to do that. This was very odd to me because they just took my card but I paid and tipped and left. Overall a disappointing experience for both myself and my friend. This is not a salon I recommend to anyone. It's described as a luxury salon but this was in no way a luxurious experience.

From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff was rude and unwelcoming. When I was seated, my nail technician took her time setting up her station and acted as though she was annoyed to be working on me. Since I'm pregnant, I chose a basic manicure and didn't want any upgrades. When she asked if I wanted gel and I politely declined, her attitude noticeably changed. The rest of the appointment felt rushed, and she took shortcuts throughout the manicure. The quality of the work was poor, but by that point I was so frustrated that I just wanted the appointment to be over. What really stood out was how differently she treated the next customer. She was suddenly warm, friendly, smiling, and offering additional services after that customer agreed to upgrade. It made me feel like I was only worth good service if I spent more money. Overall, the atmosphere was unprofessional, the customer service was unfriendly, and the manicure was disappointing. I would not recommend this salon and definitely will not be returning.

I clearly explained that I wanted them as short as possible, with slightly longer lashes only at the corners for a soft cat-eye effect. Instead, everything was the same length and extremely long. The lashes were glued together, there was glue on top of my eyelid, and overall the service was very poor. You could also tell the quality of the materials was extremely cheap. I paid and went to my car to look at my lashes more closely, and I immediately decided to go back inside because I was very unhappy. By that point, I was already crying. I waited for the same technician and explained that the lashes were much longer than I asked for. Without asking what specifically I didn't like, she grabbed scissors and started cutting them in a half-circle shape. It looked ridiculous. I asked her to remove the extensions completely. While removing them, she complained to me, saying I had lied to her and that I made her lose money, and that she would have to charge me for the removal. That is an awful thing to say to a client who is already crying about the service she received. She didn't even remove all the glue from my natural lashes, and I went home with my real lashes still glued together. Meanwhile, the receptionist completely ignored me when I asked questions about a refund. I will never come back to this place. They damaged my lashes and still made me pay for it
