I can't speak too much on the friendliness of the place. I am a friendly person in general so I know that when I greet them, they greet me in return. But again this review is to highlight the skills of Haden. When I first found him, I had coffin shaped nails, and he took one look and said "where did you go to get your nails done?" and we both laughed and I knew from that moment he was going to be my go to guy. And since then he does not disappoint and has taught me other ways to do my nails, and I love them every single time.

One of the staff members has been consistently unwelcoming and comes across as quite rude, which makes the experience uncomfortable from the moment you walk in. The selection of nail polish colors is also very limited and not very appealing compared to other salons. The quality of the service is below average overall and seems to depend entirely on which technician you happen to get. While the location is convenient, the inconsistency in service and lack of a welcoming atmosphere outweigh that convenience for me.

I came in on July 14 for a French gel manicure, and as of today, August 23, my nails STILL look amazing. Just beautiful, lasting work that speaks for itself. It's honestly the longest any manicure has lasted for me! The atmosphere in the salon is calm, clean, and welcoming. They both take their time, pay attention to every detail, and make sure you walk out 100% happy. You can tell they care about their clients and take pride in their craft. If you're looking for high-quality nails that *last* and a great experience every time, this is the place. (Photo attached -- yes, these are *over a month old!*)

The guy sitting at the front looked and said they weren't available at that time. No other words uttered, just that they weren't available. The customer service in me would have asked a customer if 12:45p, 1:00p, 2:00p would suffice. He looked lost and said nothing. I walked away feeling like he could have done more-maybe he didn't want my business.

SAVE YOURSELF LADIES I will never be coming back, and I do not recommend this salon. Unfortunately, the lady that was doing my nails didn't trim the cuticles, did awful paint work and was huffing and puffing during the session. And then, she told me she couldn't do my pedicure because it took too long to do my manicure, even though it was still one hour till closing. This has never happened to me at a nail salon, so I left hella confused of course.

This was actually my…read morefirst time since high school getting a manicure and gel done so I was a bit nervous (for context my previous experience with another salon traumatized me when they buffed my nails aggressively and caused my cuticles to bleed) I recently got engaged so I wanted to explore some options for the eventual bridal look. Emily was SO gentle and explained the entire process to me. She shaped up my nails based on my fingers and nail length, cleaned up my cuticles, and helped me pick out colors that she thought would look good, especially since this was the first of many trials for me. We landed on a pink base with glitter. I know some may consider it basic, but I personally prefer the "less is more" approach. Thank you Emily! Definitely will be back.

Emily worked non-stop on walk ins to the point where she needed to eat lunch at 3pm but apologized for eating! Plenty of parking in back, open everyday except Sunday. You take a chance they will be booked solid if you just walk in since it's a small shop with only 3 total employees, so call ahead.

As soon as I walked in a guy greeted me and confirmed my appointment and when I asked to change my service from regular pedicure to gel pedicure he accepted with no issue. My technician was Lily - the sweetest and kind lady who listened to what I wanted and ensured to fulfill my needs of not making the gel too thick. She did ask if I wanted to add on additional service but when I declined there was no pressure and she went on with the service I had initially requested for. The salon was very clean and everyone was kind. The only con I can think of during my experience was that when choosing the color for my gel, I felt a bit pressured as he was standing next to me as if waiting to hurry and pick the color. Other than that, they brought me complimentary drink and was friendly and will definitely be visiting again.

The salon itself was clean and well maintained. I was hoping to use a massage chair, but they didn't have one. I should have asked about that when I made the appointment. I got a regular polish manicure and pedicure, a girl got a gel manicure and pedicure, and my partner had a foot care treatment. We spent around $400 in total. The work was okay. They accept tips through Venmo, so you don't have to worrying about having cash.

I was a little…read moreshocked to find out that the basic pedicure didn't include a massage when I usually receive this service at other places for a less expensive cost & it's one of the main reasons I love nail salons. I had also asked for a French tip pedicure ($10 extra) with regular polish & my technician was a little taken aback that I didn't want gel, she then informed me that regular polish would come off within a couple days in a french tip, which I didn't really understand because I always get french tip in regular polish at other places or even do this myself and it has always lasted me weeks even a month if I was pushing it. No base coat was used just polish & top coat & the finish of the nails aren't smooth at all, it still feels like a rough filed nail but the French tip itself was cute. Overall I paid $45 including tip which wasn't what I'd expect to pay for a service that was done in 30min, didn't include a massage & quality of nail finish isn't the best. I thought the technician was super sweet I enjoyed our convo, the other ladies who work there were also welcoming.. my tech did a great job with her technique however there are other places within the same radius that could offer more for the price you pay & do a little better of a job.

She was in a hurry and said she didn't have time in a not friendly way. So I didn't want to check my nails and ask her to redo any. Tools were not pulled out of a plastic sheet, when I asked if they autoclave she said yes and kept looking down. But she just pulled them out of a wet fluid, so I'm not sure. Hope I don't get fungus under my nails. I'm used to places opening a packet in front of you and the tools are dry and sealed. Reading other reviews here, I'm nervous that I should've paid closer attention to the condition of the buffer and such. I won't be returning as she wasn't friendly and they don't look smooth and even. After paying $65-70, I should've just done them myself. The hot stones massage on pedicure was nice and massage. But for painting, needs improvement.
