I used to only do pedicures, which always lasted forever with zero chipping, but over the last few months I've started doing a Gel-X + dip combo with cat eye and I'm obsessed. I have never had a successful gel manicure that didn't lift within a week... until Vee. Whatever her technique is, these nails are staying on unless you literally break one. Vee is super friendly and chatty, and personally I love that. I genuinely enjoy our time every visit and it never feels rushed or awkward. The studio is in her home, but it's completely separate and downstairs -- just the garage and her nail space. It's all pink, pretty, private, and zen, and she always plays great music. It truly does not feel like you're in someone's house at all. One thing to note: this is a one-person business, so timing matters. If you want a longer pedicure with extra massage, just let her know ahead of time so she can plan properly. I love Vee and I love my nails every single time. Highly recommend.

My partner and I have been to Vu three times (four manicures.)…read more Over those three appointments, not one has started on time, each time Vu has been at least fifteen minutes behind. The two Gel manicures my partner received came out beautifully, so if you're not on a time crunch and that is all you are looking for, you will walk out happy. My first visit was a fill, as the integrity of my previous Gel-X was maintained, and overall both the fill, shaping, and nail are were satisfactory. I needed a new set on this visit, and things went downhill quickly. I pointed out that numerous nails were too narrow, and it was shrugged off (some builder gel was placed on the sides, but nothing further.) He then tried to push acrylic on me, and laughed when I expressed that acrylic does not work for me, and I had not previously had issues with Gel-X over nearly two years. I would have walked out if I had the option. As a result, not a single pair of fingers is consistent (as pictured,) the "stiletto" tips are not centered, the shaping is horribly unflattering on my hands, not one nail has a proper apex due to the initial application being significantly longer than the length I expressed I would want. The "cat-eye" I paid additional for is barely noticeable. At least the color itself is pretty. Back to the drawing board, as my quest for a competent apres gel-x tech in the area now continues.

She's a one woman show and has one on one appointments at her cute ocean themed salon. I believe she's accepting new clients at the moment, which means the fight for the next appointment continues! She is typically booked out by 2 or 3 weeks, so I literally need to plan ahead lol. Her IG is @stefykayynails for more inspo pics! I think Steph has chatted with me through so many phases of my life, and each visit is like a friend catchup session. Her dog, the most perfect Frenchie, is always very well behaved laying next to her with the occasional snoring :) My favorite thing to do right after my fresh mani is to scratch his ears LOL.

She has endless choices of polish, glitter, and stamps. I told her what I like and she picked the prettiest colors. I love my new mani! Stephanie's is a nail artist and her custom mani's do cost more than the standard nail salon, but she is well worth the price! I am looking forward to trying new colors and glitter and my nex
