I am beyond disappointed. I was a loyal client and gave this salon 5 stars in the past, but since…read moreHelen moved to Pikesville, the service has completely changed. I've tried multiple times to get my nails done, most recently on a Friday afternoon around 12:45 and have been turned away again and again. The worst part? There were several staff members sitting in the shop not doing nails. Most nail salons take walk-ins unless otherwise stated. Instead of being offered a wait time or appointment, I was simply told "we don't have time." That's not just inconvenient, it's rude and dismissive. A business is more than one person, but without basic courtesy and customer service, clients like me won't be coming back.

I had a very poor experience at this nail salon today. I initially selected a gel color, but the…read moreshade applied did not match the number on the sample at all--it was clearly purple, whereas I had chosen a light pink. When I asked the technician to correct it, she tried to convince me to keep the incorrect color until I insisted otherwise. Even then, instead of removing the purple polish, she carelessly applied the new color over it. When I asked her to properly remove the incorrect polish, she began speaking about me to another technician in her native language, which made me uncomfortable. At checkout, I was charged for a higher-tier pedicure despite repeatedly stating that I only wanted the basic service. They refused to correct the charge, leaving me feeling pressured to pay just to leave the situation. There was also a customer waiting in a chair behind me who witnessed the situation and told me that she had witnessed other customers having issues with this specific nail tech on other occasions as well. Not to mention, the polish was smudged when she was finished and she did not offer for me to sit and dry my nails. Afterward, I called the salon to speak with a manager, but the receptionist refused to transfer me. Instead, he claimed I had signed a receipt--which I did not--and referenced security cameras in a way that felt threatening. He said I could return in person to have the charge corrected, but I explained I was not comfortable going back and asked for the issue to be resolved over the phone. He refused and ultimately hung up on me. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this business.

Everyone was really nice but they over charge soooo bad. They add extra cost to their services…read moreunnecessarily. I was charged twice for shape, once $10 then an additional $5. I have a french set, just regular gel and was charged for "custom French" $25 on top of the full set w/ gel. $95 for a French set, no design, and coffin shape has to be insane. I've never paid that much. No manicure, just a gel full set. Absolutely insane, I will not return. I will go to my regular nail salon who has set prices and not made up prices, like this salon does.

No cuticles were cut for either my fingers or my toes. Never cleaned out under the nails either. The nails were filed extremely unevenly... I think I have to go home and re-file everything. My massages were so rough I thought I was going to leave with bruises. i asked for the color to be matching on my fingers and toes. the polishes were taken from the same box but they are not the same color. Polish was applied so quickly hardly giving even 30 sec to dry between coats. edges of the nail have no polish on them. The surface of the nails feels rough and bubbly and when I expressed this concern, they were quickly filed over and the problem is not fixed. Both services were finished in just over an hour. these photos were taken immediately after leaving the salon.

I would only give four stars because I like intricate designs and sometimes they aren't able to do them.

I've been seeing her exclusively all year and she never ever disappoints. I give her a color or theme, and I allow her freedom to do whatever she wants because she's an artist! I get compliments every time I get a new set. The staff is generally friendly and welcoming. Sometimes there are customers who are loud (rare) so it would be nice to see them get checked (maybe a policy to limit use of personal devices while being service would help?) because one person can throw the entire vibe off. Otherwise, I love it here. I'm going to be adding more of their spa services in 2024 (facials, brows). Black owned and killing it!

This is, by far, the most amazing nail experience I've ever had. I was worried that I wouldn't be…read moreable to get in because I had such a difficult time getting an appointment due to random, universal issues (appointments being a couple weeks out, me ordering the wrong service and having to postpone). I started to give up; however, I am so glad I didn't because that level of exclusivity is exactly what you want during a full on pandemic. Let me explain. Appointments are selectively scheduled to ensure there are no more than a few people in the salon at once. When you arrive to get nails done, it's quite possible that you may have a room to yourself :) and everything from the client services to the ambiance is exceptional. COVID practices: when you arrive (appointments only), they open the door for you, check your temperature, ask you to sanitize your hands, and give you a sanitizing wipe your clean your phone (as you'll be touching it often). They offer you a bottle of water or a glass of champagne, wine, or mimosa. Yasssss! Now, you will immediately be taken into another, fun, light, vacation-like experience by the detailed decór. It's so beautiful the way the owners put so much love and attention into curating each part of your experience. You feel like this moment was crafted JUST for you. The nail specialist that I worked with, Kyra (pronounces KI-Ra) was full of light, love, energy, and offered therapeutic vibes. She really took her time to get to know me and understand more than what I wanted for nails, but how my nail journey complimented my life. I felt a true caring about who I was as a person. Although we take lightly our cosmetic experiences, they are actually a firm of therapy and self-care. Thank you Kyra. I must say, I will certainly be back and will recommend everyone to this elite salon. Even when I move from this area, I will be back!!!
