The experience was TOP TIER - from my gorgeous nails to the customer service with their great vibes and the delicious wine! This will definitely be my Nail spot when i'm in CT!

I came here because I wanted to try something new. The salon itself has a really nice ambiance…read moreclean, calm, and not chaotic like some other nail spots. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and even offered me water when I sat down (I declined, but still appreciated it). Everyone was kind and made the environment feel comfortable. They suggested powder/dip nails, which I was open to, but I'll be honest the process kind of threw me off. They dipped my whole finger into the powder and reused it, which made me a little uneasy. I didn't see anything that reassured me it was being sanitized, so that part didn't sit right with me. My nail tech, Talia, did take her time, and I appreciated that she wasn't rushing. I also liked that they used a tool to make sure all the nails were even and consistent, that attention to detail definitely showed. That said, I wasn't a fan of some of their pricing and options. Charging an extra $5 just for coffin or stiletto shape feels a bit much, especially since most places include that. They also don't seem to offer or advertise more modern/trendy styles like duck nails. As for the final result... my nails honestly look like press-ons. It's just not my style, so I know now that dip powder isn't for me. Overall, the vibe and service were good, but between the sanitation concerns, pricing, and the end result not being what I like, I probably wouldn't come back for nails. I might give their pedicures a try in the future though.

I'm very glad about this especially because they don't have to do this according to state law now- it made me feel very safe. Secondly, their pedicurists are fantastic- perfect amount of pressure, they're quick and neat. Thirdly, I did tips and powder ombré nails with matte top coat. One of the tips was placed crookedly- the technician noticed and redid it. It takes me forever to decide on a color. My sister (who was with me) recommended I don't go with my usual beige tones and do an ombré nail. Well, I'm not a fan of pink and all the options she showed me were. The first round; the technician did clear- didn't look good. No questions, no comments, she redid it with the beige color I chose, added the ombré again, and it was perfect. Smooth, not bulky, evenly rounded oval nails. 100% recommend. Rosa did an excellent job.

We initially planned to get manicures, but we decided to go for pedicures at the last minute. The owner was very flexible and managed to accommodate our request. We both went for the #3 pedicure, which includes a massage and hot wax on the heels of the feet, along with hot stones. It was excellent! I would definitely recommend this nail salon they are fast, clean and friendly.

Ping and Michael are personable and mindful of quality. The salon was very clean and a pleasant environment - spa like. I think that's notable as most of the salons in the area do not meet this criteria. The pricing and options were also very clearly indicated. Pedicure was pretty and standard in price. I had my toes done in white, which can be challenging and easily appear streaky. This was not a problem here. I will be coming back.

***NOT BY APPOINTMENT ONLY***…read more I've been going to The Studio for my late spring--summer-- early fall pedicures for years! Ever since the first time I went, Ping and Michael have remembered me by name! I always get a specialty pedicure (usually the Green Tea) because of bad calluses (I know-TMI) and they do an amazing job. Usually Michael does my pedicure but everyone there is great. One of my biggest pet peeves is people talking on their cell phones while getting my pedi. Since they have a loyal client base, this rarely happens and, for me, it makes all the difference! Thanks Ping, Michael, & everyone else there!

Although I live in Hamden, I work in Bridgeport and am able to go here on my way home every 3 or so weeks. (Whenever I need a fill) I get the pink powder and Tina does beautiful custom nail designs. I've even waited over an hour for her at one time. Would I get a pedicure there? No, for fear I could catch something. It's rather dusty there, needs better maintenance.

Even the Owner gave me the run around when I wanted him specifically to do my nails and tried to book through instagram. He said I had to call the store so when I called the store they said I had to book through instagram! Believe the reviews when they say he has an attitude. Everytime I go they give me the new hire and it's a 50/50 chance of it coming out good. Last time I went they gave me the new hire like always and my GEL TOE POLISH I REPEAT GEL peeled off BEFORE IT WAS EVEN 24 HOURS. I was already in a different territory within that time so I couldn't get them fixed. I refuse to come back, I rather pay Fairfield or Norwalk prices then give these people my money again...Consistency is key. I also had let one of the employees know through text and never did they offer to fix it when I came back or even a discount on my next visit. SAVE YOUR MONEYYYY.

Long story short, someone here ripped the nails off and it damaged my nail bed. She also sneezed on me without a mask and said it was allergies, but her prescription antibiotic for pneumonia/conjunctivitis was on the counter. And then I got super sick -which is honestly the most annoying thing to me besides my nails looking horrific for two weeks..and paying more than I expected for a bad take down. I wouldn't go back, but I don't do like long pretty nails, my friends love the designs and all that so they love it there. I went back to someone else for actual natural nail care, and I'll stick with them going forward.
