I've known Amy for a little over a year. After taking a break from getting my nails done, I…read morereturned to the same salon I had grown to love only to find the former owners gone and Amy now at the helm. From the start, she was sweet and easy to like, though I'll admit I used to inspect my nails closely after each visit, looking for imperfections. A year later, my nails are healthier than ever, and those worries are long gone. I don't even stress about choosing a color anymore. Amy knows me well enough to guide me or pick something perfect when I can't decide. I've truly had the best manicures of my life this past year, all from this little shop. Amy is clearly loved and valued in the community. Many of her clients are locals, and even their husbands sometimes stop in for a pedicure! While a bit of patience is occasionally required since she's the sole manicurist, she is absolutely worth the wait. You won't be disappointed. She is extremely creative, highly skilled, and genuinely cares about her work. Whether you're a local or just passing through, give Amy a try, you'll be glad you did. She's terrific!

The owner is very sweet and very talented. She does everything right when working on your nails.read more

Too bad as I got them done as I was going on vacation.

Their gel polish is Formaldehyde FREE along with other chemicals that can be harmful for expecting mothers (can be found on their website). The price for a pedi is a bit more than other salons, but to me, the quality and standard is higher so it's worth the price - Cleanliness, hygienic, and attention to detail. My nails are always nicely shaped, it's never a, "It's your nail going that way." The nail tech will assure you every step of the way to receive the nails you desire.

I finally agreed, sure, let's do chrome. (I always do a chrome on my nails, so i said whatever) I tried to stand up for myself and was told "no" - at least the length is what i wanted.
