Been here a few time now and this place never disappoints. Emily is an excellent manicurist, showed her a design and she was able to fulfill it. Her staff member did my pedicure and did a great job I was so relaxed and almost fell asleep. I definitely will come back again. Also I think the price is fair if not less expensive than other places I have been especially with design work etc.
Last minute booked through Yelp and the person who manages this is very responsive. There was a bit of a wait time despite having a reservation. I did inquire beforehand about the sanitary practices of the location since I saw another review that said the tools are not sanitized properly, but was assured over message that they are. However, when I got there, the review ended up being right. The cuticle cutter that they used on me already had someone else's cuticles built up in there . That was unfortunate to see. The person that did my nails did an excellent job. However, I asked over the phone about the price of gel and she told me $40-didn't realize the cat eye would tack on an extra $15. Chrome is also extra $15. I thought that was pretty excessive for the cat eye especially because it's already in the polish that they use anyways. Probably will not return due to the sanitary practices of the location and wait time, but good if you're in a pinch and ok sacrificing a possible infection...
sweetest tech as always! can do any design you show her and all the other employees are really nice also! the place is always clean and tidy!,
Texted Emily and was able to get a gel manicure and gel pedi booked with no issues! The salon was pretty empty around lunchtime on a Wednesday, so it was nice and peaceful. Pedi and Mani were top notch and I just had to bring in inspo pictures! They were exactly replicating the pictures but I personally felt like the colors, chrome, etc were even better! Definitely come when Emily is working, she is truly talented.
I've just started going to Em after my most recent nail artist moved out of state, and I could not be happier with the quality of my nails and designs! Em is great, and easy to reach via phone to schedule appointments, and she has been super open to the design ideas I have. Her salon is super cute, and easy to access, and everyone is so friendly. Thank you, Em! Excited for my next set!!
Take a look at the photo. Pay attention to the edges, shape, texture/bubbles in polish, and obviously chips. This is gel and I don't work with my hands. I just got them done this weekend and it's only Wednesday! I paid $75+20% tip for a mani/pedi -- what a waste of money. This is definitely the worst manicure I've ever gotten. I'm almost positive the woman who did my nails was the owner too, which is even worse. The gel polish went over my skin in some areas and was sloppy at the top/cuticle level. There are bubbles and even specs in the polish and I'm pretty sure she only put one coat on. It started chipping so fast that I can't imagine she followed gel polish protocol. I wish I had been paying more attention during the manicure. I've never had such a bad manicure in my life. I didn't say anything at the time because I wanted to be supportive of local businesses and I tipped her for 20% but, wow is it bad! The shape of some of my nails are also shortest in the middle and long on the sides, which is so bizarre and when she asked me if I wanted to cut them or just file them down, I said to file, and she immediately started using the clippers to cut them. I wasn't going to write a review, but I'm so disappointed and I have to get another manicure today because I'm going on a date tomorrow and I'm embarrassed to have these nails. I also know that there are other nail salons in the area and I'm shocked that this place has such a high rating, considering the lack of cleanliness of the facility, the sketchy building it was in, and obviously the quality. I just moved here and I'm never coming back. The only other person that was at the salon getting their nails done complained about the quality of her nails as well when she was finished. Now that I think about it, I believe there was supposed to be short massages with my manicure/pedicure too, and that definitely didn't happen. But even if I'm wrong on that, it's still the worst I've ever had.
i come here every month i love this place and i always leave satisfied and happy! :) thank you so much emily!
Em is FAST, efficient & SUPER talented! It was my daughter's first time getting her nails done so every single nail had to be a different design Em literally did her thing. I myself, had a pedi. It was ok. I was just blown away with how great my daughter's nails were. When her nails came off, NO DAMAGE was done! She really took care of her! Nothing like back in the day. Ems amazing
The first picture is actually my nails from a month and a half ago -- and yes, they lasted that long without a single break! Emily is truly the best. She really listens to what you want and always delivers exactly what I envision. On top of that, she greets me so warmly every time I walk into the shop -- it's like visiting a friend. I've been to other nail places before, and my nails would start breaking off after just a week. But Emily's sets? Nearly two months later and they're still holding strong. I just got a new set and I'm absolutely in love. If you're looking for quality, longevity, and a great experience, Emily's your girl.
I absolutely love coming to see Emily for my Gel X nail designs! I've been coming every 3-4 weeks for over a year now and she always takes care of me. Her eye for design is unmatched! Highly recommend!!
I got my lashes done with Emily and she did an excellent job! Not only was she very professional, she was also very sweet and had excellent customer service with me. I trust her with both my lashes and my nails and will definitely be a long time customer forever. Im in love with her work
Been coming to EM salon for months now. There's usually no wait and they are quick. I just shoot a text when I'm coming in and I am done in an hour.

A few weeks ago I was looking for pedicure while in town on business. This place is fantastic!! Clean, great colors. The Hydrating pedicure was so relaxing and perfect after a long flight. Emily and Lisa are so great! Returned on next trip into town for mani pedi. Beautiful job! Everyone has to try this place!! read more

I typically don't write reviews, but in this case and what had happened to me, I felt the need to write a review. I do wanna start off with saying that the pedicures that my husband and I received were amazing and the rating is not for the pedicures. I typically don't get my nails done with acrylics or extensions because I just do press on at home but because it was my birthday weekend I wanted to spoil myself a little bit so I didn't have to put on press and I was pampered a little bit. Originally, I had asked to do a basic manicure, but changed my mind to do gel extensions after seeing some of the work on yelp. So I asked for gelx extensions and I showed them the inspo picture that I wanted from Yelp. After my pedicure was done, they moved me to the chair so that I can start my gelx extension . When the application started, I started noticing that when she was applying the extensions, they were a little bit crooked, but I kept my mouth quiet because I assumed they would just fix it during the filing portion. When it came to the filing portion, for some reason, she pushed back all the cuticles on the inner side of each nail to file and make the almond shape but when it came to filing the outer side of each nail she didn't push the cuticle back which a lot of my fingers had gel on the skin. Once the filing was complete, I looked at my nails, and all of my nails were crooked. They were all pointing outward, and I noticed that one of my fingers had a nail extension that was put on there wasn't even the width of my natural nail, so there was a gap between my natural nail and the gelX extension. This nail had to be redone three times. Another nail artist came by and just grabbed my hand and started filing and didn't even say anything to me, almost like it was a bother to fix my nails. By this time I had been in the shop for almost 2 hours between my pedicure and starting my gelx extension. The nail artist asked me what design I wanted AGAIN, so save time I completely scratched the original design I wanted because it had intricate 3-D art and nail gems and decided to change to cateye nail polish. On the cat eye nail display that was provided me to choose the color, there were two types of magnetic design that I can have one was the S type of shape and there was a French tip "u" shaped magnetic designed that I personally wanted to get. When it came to actually doing the magnetic part to make the nail a cat eye, the artist didn't ask me if I wanted the S shape or the U shape they just kept going and they continued to cure each nail. You might ask why I didn't speak up. It was because I was already in the nail shop for over two hours and me and my husband had plans so I didn't have the time for her to completely remove the color to redo it due to her already curing each nail. Once I got in the car, I could already see that the nail needed at least one or two more coats because you can clearly see through my nail, which took away from the cat eye design and the way that she swirled the magnetic wand, It did not even leave the S shape. There is barely a cat eye on my nails, but to make matters worse, the nail that was used bend so easily and they are not strong whatsoever. So it was a bit of a disappointment to get a set of nails that could be great, but they were not. They were very crooked. I had to go home and fix them myself. So to spend $80 on a set of nails that were crooked, thin, easily bendable and you can see through them and did not have a true cat eye design on them and I paid extra for the cat eye. It was a bit of a disappointment. We are not from this side of the bay so going back to the shop is not an option for me. Again, I wanna repeat this review and rating is specifically for my gel X full set and not the pedicures that were received by my husband and I those were great. read more

Wasn't going to leave a review after I mentioned to Lisa about my left pinky nail being crooked and still wasn't fixed when I paid. (see left hand pinky finger) However, it hasn't been a week and the extension part of gel-x has already split apart! (see right hand middle finger) Safe to say, I don't think I should've trusted the reviews & images from yelp...... read more

I got my prom nails done by Emily and they were so perf. She was super nice and did my nails a second time as well after I had them removed and gave me a French tip. I'm so glad she was able to do my designs since my nail beds are super tiny and are more difficult to work with for harder designs. read more

It was my first time at this nail salon and I was quite disappointed. It's true what I read in one of the reviews about Emily being in a rush. I felt like my service was rushed, nails weren't properly finished and I was originally told $40 but charged $65. And Emily was gone by the time I went to make the payment so couldn't even speak to her about it. Also the salon didn't seem to be very hygienic and they seemed to reuse tools without sterilizing between clients. I'm not going here again. read more

This was the first time I did my nails here along with gel pedicure. It was very kind of them to accommodate us at the last minute before their closing time however, the service we received was so-so. The power got cut off in the middle of the service and they had to turn on the flashlights of the phone to complete the service. My nails looked good at the beginning, but you can see the imperfections in the shape and nail polish in broad daylight. The staffs were kind and nice though. read more

I needed to go somewhere to kill time before the airport and found Emily through reviews and instagram! I wanted my nails done for a trip and she was incredibly patient with me! (I am very picky about shape and had her reshape a couple of times) she used the inspiration photo i gave her and put her flare into it and i love it!!!! 100% recommend her for any nail art you have in mind. I also got my toes done there and they turned out so pretty! read more

I got a mani and deluxe pedi and I had such an amazing experience even though they were closing soon, they took their time and made sure it looked good. The massage was 10/10 like I went to get a foot massage and not just a pedi. She even squeezed in a wax session real quick at the end per my request. Will come back again read more
