The spot is in the cut so if you're not actively looking you'll completely miss it. One of my girlfriends, Brittani, is a new nail tech here so that's how I was made aware of it. Once she confirmed that they're safe and accepting appointments it was a no brainer. I heard Brittani mention how lavish and luxurious the salon is and my sis wasn't lying. The decor is beautiful, the staff is friendly, the ambiance is just IT and the cherry on top for me....THEY'RE BLACKED OWNED! LET'S GO! Upon entry my temperature was take and I was asked to wash my hands in the bathroom. Love to see it. I then sat on their beautiful baby blue couch while my tech prepared my station. During the small wait the staff checked on me to see if I needed or wanted anything & allowed me to select my color. I noticed that each station has a clear plexiglass that separates the tech from the customer. Again, we love to see it. Once my station was ready the gel pedicure began. Courtney was my sis and she was just derailed, thorough, efficient and on point. Everything I need honestly. And it's like a full blown pedicure. The cuticles, the cutting, the massage, every single step was perfect. An employee walked around to check on everyone and offered water. I humbly accepted. Then the owner walked around and offered wine. YES MISS MAMAS! I will loudly accept! She poured all of us a plastic cup of red wine with the cutestttttt About Your Skin coasters. It truly is the little things for me.

Let me preface this by saying I am a hairstylist, and a guy, I just like to be well groomed and…read morestay on trends. I work downtown and usually got my nails done downtown at mediocre, expensive places because it was in the vicinity. However, I don't want to go downtown, if I don't have to. I started to search for places in my neighborhood and I always felt disappointed by the results, they would always make my nail beds look too thick, the designs (which are extremely minimalistic) would always look like I did them myself and I was still paying downtown prices. I don't care about price, but I care about quality if I'm paying (which by the way Angie is about $30 cheaper) I booked an appointment with Angie, as a recommendation from a friend and after Yelp reviews and Google reviews... To be quite honest, you can literally spot Angie from the entrance because she's happy and welcoming, but the rest of the staff is a little off putting and intimidating, it's like they don't really care, it's just a job to them. The space is super cute and charming, super neat, Covid regulations are in order. I had a 3:00 appointment, and I know how the beauty industry works, we are always 10 mins late or 20 mins early. She was 10 mins behind and I understand, things happen. I had an appointment for an SNS manicure, because I don't know any better, and Angie asked me about the history of my nails, what my goals are, she immediately knew that I was a nail biter who had quit recently, she suggested for me to opt for a gel manicure, instead of the SNS because of the design I wanted, and to curtail the thickness that happens when you over layer the polishes. She matched the color of the SNS dip with a gel polish and it immediately clicked in my head that she's the real deal, as she gave me options between a pinkish polish or a more sand neutral polish. Angie is super quick, she explained to me why my cuticles look swollen and suggested to massage lotion or oil in circular motions on my fingers because other nail techs have possibly cut my cuticles too deep and the caveat of rubbing oils on my nails because gel polish doesn't like oils. I've spent 2 hours getting my nails done at other places in the neighborhood to look like I had a homemade job, she spent about 35 mins. She's incredibly detail oriented, not to mention she's a super cool, down to earth boss lady, so if you have an issue with her picking up her phone, answering texts or emails or checking out clients as you bake in the UV lights, then you don't deserve her, I can't stop raving about her. She is literally stuck with me, I am a super fan! I have received so many compliments on my nails, and this is just day one, from friends, clients, sales associates and when I went to buy groceries, a guy asked me "your nails look so cool! Where do you go??" Angie is no joke. Creme de la Creme? more like pièce de résistance. I found my new nail home, period. Thank you so much Angie.

In April, I had a gel manicure as a walk in with another tech and developed "rings of fire" (grooves) on two nails. I assume it was due to the use of the drill specifically at the end to clean up the nails. This could have been done more carefully. It is August and I can finally cut the damage off.

The owner (I think) was a bit busy but asked me to sit and she'd get to me. I wasn't in a rush and about 10min later I was in a pedicure chair. She quickly found the match, had a little fan handy for quick drying and I out the chair and into a drying station. I was able to people watch and saw many loyal customers as well as how well they were treated. When I was all done, I went back to the owner (I will get her name next time and edit) and tried to give her tip and she refused. She was extremely sweet and clearly values her customers. 10/10 customer service and I will be back!

Back in March for my Bday I wanted to do my nail and ask for a pretty standard simplish design , the pregnant woman who did my nail said she could do it. I was left with thick nails , that were misshapen, and crooked thick design not at all the kind of work I was used to. I spoke up but the owner lowkey made me feel like it was my fault for not saying the obvious, she did fix it after seeing me so upset for the first time. So , I gave this place a second chance... On to today where I am on a flight to Singapore and going to have to figure out possible urgent care or nail salon cost to avoid possible infection. The women who did my nails (braces , short and Hispanic with darker features) , left a hangnail on my toes and cut me on several finger nails! I also noticed them snickering and being unprofessional around customers, along with nasty attitudes. Listen we all have bad days , but if you hate your jobs don't make paying customers suffer. While this is only nails to some it can lead to serious infections as I also doubt they ever cleaning anything properly to. So fair warning to anyone . I can no longer support a business like that. Especially after paying hundreds of dollars and praying now my toenail will be ok, free front infection or losing now my good nail. Straight up chop shop!!

Nails lasted less than 2 weeks. Here are the quick bullet points on the dangers of MMA (methyl methacrylate) in nail products: 1. Toxic fumes - breathing MMA vapors can cause serious respiratory irritation, dizziness, and long-term lung or nervous system issues. 2. Chemical burns - direct contact can burn the skin or cuticles, leading to painful sores or scarring. 3. Severe allergic reactions - exposure can trigger swelling, redness, or blistering that may worsen with repeated contact. 4. Risk of infection - MMA's tight bond can trap moisture and bacteria, increasing the risk of fungal or bacterial infections. 5. Nail damage - weakens and thins natural nails, sometimes causing permanent separation from the nail bed. 6. Hard to remove safely - requires excessive filing or drilling, which worsens damage and pain. 7. Not FDA-approved for cosmetic use - officially banned for nail applications due to these health hazards.
