    I came here for a pedicure and had a decent experience until I saw them saving the used paraffin wax to put back into the melting machine. I was horrified and just wanted to rush home to wash off the bacteria from the unsanitary materials they had used on my feet. I urge everyone to stay away from this place (I even managed to snap a photo of them keeping the used wax); that must be why the place is so empty.

    This is now my go-to nail place!! I found this place on yelp and they had good pricing and open availability so a friend and I went to check it out and pamper ourselves. I got a gel-x manicure+pedi and my friend got a regular manicure+pedi and we both really enjoyed our experience! I wanted to do a Disney pattern and I showed Kim the pictures of what I wanted and she did an amazing job at duplicating the pattern and color matching. She listened to what I wanted and took her time being so meticulous. I was very impressed and love how my nails turned out!! Tracy did both of our pedi's and she did my friends' mani and she was also really good! She took her time and even heavily scraped away at my callouses (more than other places). She was really nice and both of them chatted us up. Overall, I had a great experience! It was clean, lots of easy parking, and Kim & Tracy were really great!! I will definitely be coming back!

    I was looking for a nail salon close to home and came across Gems Nails & Spa. I made an appointment through yelp, but also noticed they accept walk-ins. I needed a new set of nails after my real nails broke over the holidays and decided to give gel x a try. I'm so pleased with the way my nails came out and love how gel x gives a natural nail look. Thank you again Vi!

    I found Gems Nails & Spa and was immediately hooked on their Soft Opening Prices. I was hoping they could do some simple, milky white nails for a wedding that was coming up. I expected decent nails, but got great service and the most beautiful nails I've ever had! Thank you for being so attentive, listening to my ideas and finding ways to make them better but asking for consent before any change! Will be returning :)

    Found Gems nails on Yelp and wow was not disappointed! I was helped by V and Kimmie, they were so sweet and helpful! Both made sure I was happy with my pedi and full set :)

    I came across "Gems Nail & Spa" on my lunch one day and wanted to try it. Well today was that day! They were so welcoming and super nice right when I walked in. I told them that I only had an hour for my lunch and they did not hesitate. Although we were on a time crunch she was super efficient and patient. I was nervous asking for basic French tips considering the time we had but she said she was able to do it. I trusted her and I don't regret it! Her lines were so crisp and even in each nail. Her attention to detail is so amazing, I would absolutely go back and get some designs from her!

    Love this place and the nails! They never disappoint

After my appointment, I went back and read the negative reviews, and honestly, those matched my experience much more closely. The first red flag was that I walked in to ask about pricing, then left to think about it, and one of the employees actually came out into the parking lot to convince me to come back. That immediately felt off. The second red flag was that I asked for almond-shaped acrylics, and the technician immediately started putting tips on without ever asking what length I wanted. He just assumed I wanted them short. By that point I was already committed, so I just went with it. As the service went on, I also noticed the salon wasn't as clean as I would expect. There were leftover decorations up and everything was just dirty and had stains on it, and debris around the work area, and it just didn't give me a great feeling. To be fair, the pedicure came out really nice. They opened what appeared to be a sealed pack of sanitized tools, which I appreciated, and I'm happy with how my toes turned out. The acrylic nails, though, were another story. The technician left noticeable gaps between the acrylic and my cuticles, as well as along the sides of my nails. They're also extremely thick. My boyfriend, who normally doesn't notice nails at all, actually asked if they were press-ons because they looked so bulky and fake. It's only been about a week, and because of the large gap near the cuticle, they already look like they've grown out for several weeks. I know sometimes a last-minute appointment is all you can get, and that's why I stayed. But if I could do it over again, I would have gone somewhere else. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.

    I waited until I'd visited this salon a few times before writing a review because I wanted to give…read moreit a fair chance. The last issue happened last week, but I waited until today to write about it. I wanted to sit with my emotions and see if it still bothered me. It does. The salon is nice, and I can see they've tried to renovate it, but I wouldn't call it 100% accommodating. The bathroom and baseboards still look old, and the chairs don't have a massage feature. I notice details that other people might not, but none of that was a reason for me to stop coming. I told them from the beginning that I'm picky. I'm polite, but I know what I want and always tell nail salons upfront. I've been getting my nails done since I was 15, and I'm 45 now. My nails are thin and brittle, and psoriasis affects how they look. Sometimes they can look like they might have fungus, but that's what psoriasis does to my nails. I need a technician who understands that. My first appointment went well. I really liked my pedicure and the woman who did it. She's a sweetheart. The nail technician is nice and does a good job, though she has a strong personality that can come across as a little rude. I have a strong personality too, so I gave it a chance. Both technicians are fast, which I love because I travel a lot for work and don't want to spend hours in a nail salon. A full set and pedicure took about an hour and 15 minutes. Both looked cute, and I got what I wanted. About a month later, I called and asked for a fill. When I arrived, the nail technician started removing my nails. She then told me that next time we should do a fill because my nails are so brittle. I told her I had asked for a fill when I called, and that she'd said she would decide whether to remove them once she saw them. She told me that regardless of what I say on the phone, I should discuss what we agreed on directly with her when I come in. I said okay, but I also wondered why my request hadn't been communicated to her. That's part of having a receptionist. I was irritated, but my second full set and pedicure looked good, so I decided to come back. At my next visit, she removed the polish, saw that the nails underneath didn't look good, and decided to take the set off. I also switched from an oval shape to a shorter, simpler coffin shape. The next day, the color started chipping. My sister said that can happen with a solid color using gelx, but I was about to leave the country for work and wanted my nails to look professional. I called the salon, explained the chipping, and asked to come in to fix it. I offered to pay. The person on the phone insisted there would be no charge and booked me. I even asked if she was sure, and she said yes. I want to emphasize that I offered to pay because I value people's work. When I came in, they saw me fairly quickly. Nobody mentioned a charge before or during the appointment. At the end, the nail technician told me it would be $35. I paid and gave her a $7 tip. I wasn't going to change my character over it, but I was irritated. I don't know whether the receptionist failed to tell the technician what she'd promised. My issue isn't paying, I offered to do that from the beginning. My issue is being told repeatedly that I wouldn't be charged, then being charged without an explanation or apology. My nails had been done less than 9 days earlier, and she changed the color and reshaped them. Even if they wanted to charge me, they could have told me beforehand or acknowledged the miscommunication. Nobody did. I've run businesses for years, and transparency matters to me. If a client explains what they need to the receptionist, that information should reach the technician. This was the second time something I'd discussed on the phone didn't seem to be communicated. In my experience, the front desk came across as disengaged, and the communication was mediocre. I'm not naming anyone because I don't want to put anyone on blast. I hope the salon takes this as a lesson. The nails looked nice, the woman who does my pedicures is lovely, and the nail technician is quick and does good work. My biggest issue is the salon's internal communication, which shouldn't be the client's responsibility. Thank you for the services, but I won't be back.

They have a variety of options regarding the extent of service you would like to receive. They also give a complimentary beverage and have a list of nonalcoholic and alcoholic along with soft drinks and water. Only downside was the parking lot. But as long as people come and go shouldn't be to much of a problem. Would highly recommend coming here. And would definitely come back again if I'm in the area and in need of a pedicure/manicure.

She wanted to feel beautiful and feminine just like her mommy. When she was 4 years old before she was diagnosed with severe ADHD I tried taking her to several nail salons. Unfortunately, instead of patience and kindness, we were met with judgment. Because she had a hard time sitting still, people would make faces, seem frustrated, and treat her like she was a burden. As a mom, that was heartbreaking to watch, and I could see it affecting her confidence. Then I found Michelle's salon completely by chance through work, and it truly felt like a blessing from God. From the very first visit, Michelle and the entire team welcomed my daughter with open arms. They were patient, gentle, encouraging, and made the experience fun instead of stressful. They never made her feel like she was "too much." Instead, they made her feel seen, accepted, and beautiful. Today my daughter is 5 years old, has since been diagnosed with severe ADHD, and she still gets excited every time I tell her we're going to see Michelle. She feels comfortable there, confident there, and genuinely loved. As a mother, there is nothing more meaningful than seeing your child embraced for who they are. Michelle and her team don't just do beautiful nails they create a safe, welcoming space where everyone is treated with kindness and dignity. Their compassion has made a lasting impact on both my daughter and me. I will forever be a loyal customer because of the way they've treated my family. Thank you, Michelle, for reminding us that kindness is just as beautiful as the work you create.
