    Acrylic nails

    The nail tech who did my full set was super sweet and did a great job on my nails ! got the shape i wanted and it was a cute and welcoming place to come to !

    Horrible polish job

    I went in for a pedicure. The young lady (D) was very polite but she did not have experience in the field. She scrubbed my heel so much it felt raw. She had polish everywhere. The other workers/owner kept looking but ignoring the look of disappointment on my face. I will NOT be returning.

    I felt very disrespected and upset my nails were rushed instead of just turning away my business. The first picture are my nails the second is the reference. Jenny did this work.

    I've come here a few times and it's right near VCU and a bunch of other places. Parking is a bit of a challenge so prepare to walk there. They're pretty much always busy with 2-3 people working there. That didn't surprise me because I read some reviews before going. But with that being said, if you have any type of time constraints please don't go here, even if you have an appointment. The place is pretty small so there is barely room for you to wait to receive your service. Sometimes they will greet you sometimes they won't. I see them interact super well with some of their regulars that they know by name so I know they've got the service and friendliness in them I guess they don't "waste" it on just anyone. They have a decent assortment of colors and do some of the more "modern" designs. I've gotten a glow in the dark polish before that ended up being okay. One of the people, I believe to be a student a VCU is pretty talented and does great work but she's not always there. The others are kind of inconsistent. I had my nails done by one person and painted my another and the younger girl who painted them did not do a good job. They will charge your for your shape and for a cut down which is common but what really blew my mind is that I was charged for not getting a cut down because my nails were "kind of long". So they sprinkle in fees when they can. I'm not a huge fan after my few experiences and don't think this is the shop for me.

    Versus what I asked for!

    Although, friendly staff, I hate my nails, very thin, she kept filing to point of no return to be long enough for coffin design nails and design looks nothing like pic I showed her for reference!!! I tried to voice my dissatisfaction without getting upset to no avail for discount and now will have to go elsewhere to get redone!!! Will not return. Next day update: several of my fingers have file burn so the thousand times I have to put sanitizer in my hands have killed me every time!!! And the edge of my nails are so thin and sharp I keep scratching myself!

    I usually don't post bad reviews, but the experience here was absolutely horrible. The person doing my nails said himself that he was going to rush, he was smoking while doing my nails, and he got gel polish all over the cuticles and my fingers. The worst part was that he filed my cuticles extremely roughly to the point where they were bleeding and raw. I have literal scabs around all my nail beds from this!!! Will not be coming back

    Made an appointment for 5:30, had to wait for 10 Mins, but well worth the wait! Small intimate shop with great music. Very clean, when u enter everyone is required to wear a mask and wash their hands. Loved my nails!!!! Lovely and quick service.

    Two stars is fairly generous to me. My first time coming here I had made an appointment in the morning. When I arrived the store wasn't even open. I called and the owner answered saying she was stuck in traffic and that she could see me and that I should wait. I said no and went to another nail salon due to the inconvenience. The second time I came (which I shouldn't have, should have Ubered somewhere else) the manager told me it would be a 30 minute wait. A "30 minute wait" that turned into 1 hour and 30 minutes. Trifling. Coming from customer service it's best to be as honest with your customers. If your getting "backed up" communicate that. And be accountable towards your customers if they have had a bad experience. I expressed my concerns to the lady doing my nails and she said they always get backed up on the weekends, so basically even if you have an appointment don't expect to get your service done at that time which is new to me. After I finished my nails the lady told me to speak to the manager and when I did she denied my first experience and then later said if It did happen it was a long time ago. No accountability and just a 10% student discount. My time wasn't worth the $32 for a gel pedicure. However, the young lady did do a good job! (In picture) I understand there are more pressing matters going on in the world, however when it comes to your business you must be considerate of other people's time as I am considerate of your art and business. Invest in more staff on the weekends as well because your employees seem overwhelmed.

    Fancy pedicure!

    The pedicure I received was great! The technician was friendly and efficient and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The price was really fair and I didn't even have to wait. The salon is small and I went on a week day in the middle of the day. I would recommend making an appointment if you plan on going during the weekend. This was my first time at this salon and I'll definitely be back! 10/10 definitely recommend!

    Not the best, not the worst. Pros: great pricing and the staff is always friendly, and they work fast on your nails once they start. Cons: an appointment doesn't really do anything for you. The only times I've been able to be sat right away was when I looked on google to see the slow times of the day, and scheduled my appointment for the slowest time. If you come at a busy time you can expect to wait about 30 minutes (sometimes even longer) even with an appointment. They don't take into consideration appointments when walk ins come in and overbook themselves. Also, it's kind of luck of the draw for who does your nails and their skill level. One young vcu student with long straight brunette hair does nails incredibly, as does the woman who I think owns the place. I would trust them with super glammed out acrylics... but everyone else that works there I would only trust to do basic gel or regular polish nails. I'm used to parallel parking in the city, so that's not a negative for me, but some others may not be. So just know they don't have any parking, street parking only!

    I'm spending the summer at VCU for an internship. Naturally, I'm huge about getting my nails done. This time I was really serious about it because of how much I'd be interacting with people and how many miles I'd be walking around campus on days that we have work. One of the students I supervise told me about this place when I complimented her on her nails! I didn't make an appointment, and instead walked in on a late Monday morning. I was greeted by Ann (Anh or An, spelling is probably wrong, my bad!) and she went to work on my nails right away. She is SO sweet! We talked about our siblings and I met her son. We also talked about how she bakes as well. For my first time, she made me feel SUPER comfortable. She did my gel manicure which I love. Mary did my pedicure, and I love it as well. I noticed one of my nails had a weird look to it, and I asked her about it and she said it was a fungus (lol, yikes). But she suggested a certain type of medicine/cream and that I wear sandals instead of shoes. I danced a lot growing up so I know the nails on my feet aren't that great but by the end of the pedicure I felt so much better. Also, if you bring your VCU ID you get a discount! I definitely plan on coming back to this place while I'm in Richmond. Don't let the appearance of this place fool you. Though it's not big inside, the place is warm, welcoming, cozy, and clean.

    I've never posted a bad review in my life cause I've been in the service industry for many years and understand how difficult and stressful it can be for many, but I felt the need to do this to warn others who are thinking of ever setting foot in this salon for a nail removal. It sounds like a very simple service and normally it is, but for some reason the nail tech that took care of me made it look like the most complex thing she's ever done. I was in there for an hour getting my nails removed when it normally takes about 15 minutes at other nail salons. The nail tech was extremely rough and drilled my nails down so thin to a point they all started hurting badly. Now even the water pressure feels awful on my nails and they're extremely bendy i cant do anything with them. I was clearly extremely upset but still paid for the service. It was only $10 but i'm gonna have to spend that x3 on nail products to get them back to how they used to be.

I used to go to their other location for a year before they closed and moved locations. At that location the staff was also very nice. I had an appointment here for a Sunday and woke up Saturday not feeling well at all. Tried to reschedule my appointment. I didn't get an answer on the phone nor a text back. Had to send another text before someone finally got back to me. They wanted to charge me a cancellation fee for not rescheduling before that morning. Very disappointing being that I felt sick. So be aware that you can be sitting next to someone who is sick and couldn't reschedule. I have a rare blood disorder so when I get sick, I feel terrible but they're not considerate at all. I'm not one to cancel often. I'm a person of habit and like to go to the same place every 4 weeks without fail. So this isn't something that I would do often. Disappointed with this new location and their staff (except Dani - she's great). In particular because as I'm sitting in my appointment not feeling well I see two staff members talking. Then they start whispering to each other and then both look at me. Unprofessional and rude. Their loss, I'm a loyal customer and I normally bring my friends with me during my appointments for girls day. If you decide to go there, I recommend Dani. She's very sweet. There are other nice nail salons that are much more considerate when you're sick and need to reschedule.

I've had facials, pedicures, manicures, and massages here. Every time I've enjoyed my service as it's a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It isn't stressful or loud. It's exactly the vibe you want when heading for a self care day. The products they use are 100% house-made and organic. I've had skin reactions before, but never here. As a matter of fact, other spas have left my face looking red and inflamed after facials - I leave here glowing. Now I can't speak to any of the other massage therapists here, but Tsondu is who I see any time I'm seeking a massage. I truly feel like he is a healer in some way.

She said you have to get a more expensive pedicure for it to be longer than 15 minutes and not rushed. I've never had a pedicure that was only 15 minutes. Such a waste of money. Could have done it at home. Worst pedicure I've gotten in two decades. The whole point of me going was to treat myself. Instead I played myself. As you can see from the pedicure menu I've posted, there is no indication that this is a 15 minute service. At least call it a "rapid" or "express" pedicure or something. She expected me to know that because it's "cheap" (26 dollars) that it's not a full pedicure and would only be 15 minutes. Never again.

My pedicure service began at about 5:25 p.m. and it was over by 5:45 p.m. I've never in my decades of pedicures gotten a 20 minute pedicure. They're usually 45-60 minutes!

Take your time with my nails and do a good job! She cut my nails way too short. She did next to nothing with my cuticles. And my final result shows ridges and file marks in my nails! She said she could fix it and asked me to come back tomorrow. WHAT?! You want me to waste MORE of my time so you can do what you should've done the first time? Hell to the no!
