Cathy L.

This nail salon did not disappoint. No need to think twice about going to this place, just don't go. I gave this place the benefit of the doubt and tried it again for the third time and it has been constantly bad. After I left the salon, takin a closer look, I saw polish all over my toes and realized she never put a top coat. It was the fastest manicure pedicure I have ever gotten. She never asked what type of pedicure I wanted, which is fine but I was also charged a good amount for mediocre service.. Shame on me for not going back and showing them the polish on my toes, the fact that I didn't get a topcoat on my pedicure. For point of reference, for a regular pedicure and gel pink and white manure I was charged $64.

Really needed my toes done, and most places require an appointment. When I walked in, I got serviced immediately. My nail tech offered something to drink and my pedicure was great. My feet definitely felt renewed. My only complaint was one big toe didn't look as nice as the other toes, but overall nice, clean salon with no wait!

Pedi-Partner (my son) - and also a view of the inside
Patricia L.

I really wanted to be able to depend/like this place since it's so close to my house. I read the reviews and I really want/wanted that same experience that some people seem to have. We (meaning my son & I {he is my Pedi-partner}) have been here more than a few times and even spaced it out by months in between. But alas...I can say it's time for us to move on. This review is based on pedicures only. I don't get manicures until I know I'm happy with a place for the Pedi's first...it's just my thing since I don't get many Mani's and like to make it count when I/we do. The staff is very friendly, it's clean and located in a great location for the folks living in the nearby subdivisions and especially Palencia. I can't remember who I've had on previous visits, but on the most recent visit I had Kim. Doesn't matter who I had before, but I've had the same similar experiences. A standard Pedi last about 45 minutes give or take at most places, but not here. Here...from start to finish, including slippers put on and payment, it was 26 minutes. It's is beyond fast. Hey, if this is your thing, good for you. For us and for the price...I expect to enjoy the Pedi. It's a treat for us, not an essential thing and it's not supposed to be speedy, nor are we in a race. That said, the massage on the feet and legs is just a quick rubbing and rather disappointing...every step was quick and disappointing for that matter. My son had a slightly better experience than me, but not by much...still said the massage was just ok. There was something strange going on with the massage chairs too...not a good experience. Without even thinking or blinking his shoes were on and he was done! However, my son was offered a bottle of water by his tech. I was never offered anything by Kim and I forgot they offered complimentary drinks until I wanted a drink and asked my son for a drink from his water bottle. By this time she was putting the polish on so we were close to being finished so I didn't ask. I shouldn't have to ask anyway! Besides, Kim saw me ask my son for a drink, at that point she could have at least asked and/or offered an apology for not offering anything to me or forgetting, but she didn't...she just smiled. I would have turned it down since we were clearly almost done in record time, but the gesture would have been nice at least. About that polish, I didn't realize until she was finished putting color on my first foot that there was no bottom coat on my toe nails. I asked her if she could put on a bottom coat and she just smiled at me and continued painting my nails with color. So, no bottom coat. It was a nice color though and painted them nicely other than that...but I like a bottom coat. The next thing I know my slippers (aka: flip flops) are on and I'm being asked to pay. The crazy thing I did was add a tip...why are we programmed or expected to add a tip when we receive mediocre treatment/care? (Of course, having people hover over you doesn't help and this is common at nail places in general.)

Price point is standard for what I've seen in the area, and they do a good job. Only dinging a star because my appointment felt rushed (a full gel manicure in 15 minutes flat). I think my nail tech was trying to get mine taken care of before her other client finished soaking. The tops of my nails are still a little tacky, probably because I didn't sit under the gel lamp long enough. Overall, I'd be willing to go again, but I'll make sure I do an extra minute or two with the lamp before I leave.

Ok so this place was really awesome. The inside is very peaceful. Complimentary wine or water when you go inside. My nails looked awesome and the nail tech was such a sweetheart. There was no rush to push anyone out, everyone looked like they were relaxing and the music was fun. The price was the same as every other nail salon. I think everyone here was friendlier though, which goes a long way Definitely would go again! (:

Came to get a fill-in while on vacation. They were really nice and quick to greet. They offered drinks and had music playing. Great Price for the service you receive, and Jessi took his time with me and made fun small talk!

Bee is the best nail tech I have ever had! Always leave with a fresh manicure that lasts for 3 weeks plus.

I came here to get a pedicure. My nails were in serious need of some TLC, with going to the beach,…read moreworking out, etc. Also, TBH I'm super bad about how I paint my toenails. Remember that person who used to always used to color outside the lines? Well that's me with nail polish. I don't have a steady hand. I made an appointment online the day before. Their booking platform is easy to use. You can search by your nail tech's name or just choose first available. When I arrived, I signed into their kiosk and we were immediately greeted by several employees. They pointed us to our seats and then asked us which pedicure we wanted. They have a lot of options. Normally I would have chosen basic, just due to the $35 price tag, but decided to go with the Royal, which was $45. First we got to pick our polish color, and then we got to pick the "flavor" we wanted for our lotion and foot scrub. I opted for mint. Laura was my nail tech and was very pleasant and cheerful. This is a newer nail salon and it always appears to be bright and clean. She got started on filling up my tub with warm water. Laura did a great job of really massaging my feet and legs. I think that's the biggest takeaway with getting the royal pedicure is they really spend the time massaging your legs and feet, which I really needed. All the chairs are equipped with a massage. We were also asked if we wanted a beverage, they had water, soda, etc. Laura was also very meticulous when it came to my polish and spent a lot of time making sure it was just right, which I really appreciated. My pedicure took about 45-50 minutes and then I stayed an extra 10 minutes to have my pedicure dry. Laura was even nice enough to put my flipflops on, so I wouldn't ruin the polish. This was a great experience.

First time at this new salon. Came as a walk in and was greeted and seated quickly. Very clean and…read moremodern. I like that the TV's are discreet and there are only 2. Prices are reasonable and the classic pedicure was good.
