(And I literally live walking distance from a nail salon) She managed to shape my nails exactly how I wanted them, she made sure I was comfortable with the color choice and the shape of my nails. She was conversational and easy going - just a pleasant person all around and a perfectionist. I'm so so so happy with my nails!!! Will be going back time and time again to get my nails done with Gracie!!

Just left and let me tell you Lana did NOT disappoint honey! I absolutely love my nails!…read more She took her time and made sure throughout the process that I liked my nails. I let her do her thing on how the hearts are placed but she did let me pick multiple colors without breaking my pockets! Parking is hard to find since they are in a busy strip mall. But totally worth it. I made an appointment just in case and while they weren't packed they had a steady rush. I will definitely be back, I think I'll stick with Lana though! Hope this helps

I'm honestly not sure why this place has such good reviews. I decided to give it a try today and…read moreleft really disappointed. From the moment I walked in, they kept pushing the most expensive package, which was frustrating since I only wanted a simple pedicure. During the pedicure, either the products they used or the green scrub started stinging my legs, which didn't seem normal. I also picked a bright color from the sample palette, but once it was applied to my toes, it looked completely different. The pedicure itself felt rushed and messy. The white polish they added on top was uneven and poorly done. Overall, it was not a good experience, and I definitely won't be coming back. Don't rely solely on the positive reviews like I did

I've been going to Ivy at Blush for years, and I can't recommend her enough. Whether I'm getting a…read moreregular manicure and pedicure or gel, she always leaves my nails and cuticles looking flawless. The entire team is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit such a great experience. Booking is super easy through text, which I really appreciate. And definitely don't skip the jelly treatment--it feels like a mini massage for your feet and is absolutely worth it!

This is my go to spot over the last several years but an extra special shout out to Pam who has…read morebeen doing my nails the last year+ and wows me every time. Im a bit of a perfectionist so nails that are rough or uneven or have small imperfections literally drive me crazy and have me ripping off nails prematurely. But finding Pam who is also a perfectionist and an artist is what I needed. Overall the shop is something I look forward to as my pampering/luxury experience for hands or feet. I love my mimosa I get and just the whole experience from beginning to finish. The team is so welcoming and I always feel so pampered when I come! But again Pam. Like look at these nails as examples of my faves. So many faves not included

WHY I WENT HERE: - quick pedicure after work; closest nail…read moresalon to my office THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in a plaza off Exposition Blvd and Expo Pkwy - located in the same plaza as Starbucks, Quick Quack Car Wash, and Costco Gas Station - parking spaces are few and far between, so if you can't find a spot, you'll have to park by Costco and walk over THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - 4 manicure stations and 8 pedicure stations - very chill inside THE SERVICES MENU: - nails - wax - add on - manicure - pedicure CUSTOMER SERVICE: - I was able to call ahead within an hour to book an appointment for a gel pedicure - I like how the massage chair control is embedded in the arm of the massage chair - the lady who did my pedicure was a chatty Cathy, which was fine, it made the appointment entertaining, but the big toenail of my right foot was slanted; the quality of the pedicure itself though was good other than that detail

After getting a gas fill up at Costco last week, I looked up and saw this nail salon. I was in bad…read moreneed of replacing a gel manicure so I popped in. The employees were quiet but friendly, the salon is very clean, and they did a great job on my nails. Apparently there were mixed reviews in the past for this location but Susie (manager?) said they recently taken over ownership of the salon but kept the same name to save $. I asked for something very simple, but the customer next to me asked them to copy a very detailed Valentine's Day design she had found online, and the manicurist totally nailed it (no pun intended). My manicure did take a little longer than I expected but I think that's because they were so detail oriented so can't complain about that. The salon was very short on customers for a Saturday afternoon so I hope their business will pick up soon. Maybe now that the Costco gas station isn't such a nightmare and blocking their parking lot, things will get better for them. Bonus is there is a Starbucks next door so you can get your drink on before getting your nails done.
