This nail salon is the most recent in a list of new to me nail salons that i've been occasionally frequenting. We (SIL, her daughter and I) were there right around Christmas, and understandably they were very busy. I called and booked an appointment probably a week prior but they do have an online portal that you can set up your own appointments if you wished. Because I was trying to book 3 appointments simultaneously, it was easier for me to call and talk to someone. I got a phone call the Wed before my appointment to see if we could move up the appointment by 30 mins due to their scheduling and we were happy to do so.
The salon was clean, and well managed. There is a check in process where you check in via your phone number. The check in area is by the front window to the right -- pretty easy to miss if you were not looking for it. The customer at the register waiting for check out pointed out the check in kiosk to me.
There were many technicians on that day (probably because well Christmas). We were able to pick out colors fairly quickly, slightly confused only because the bottle of polish I picked was labeled gel and I was there for a regular pedicure.. so not sure if the bottle was really a gel polish that they utilized for my regular pedicure or was this a different bottle? After some discussion about regular polish (the child was getting a child manicure not gel.. so we needed to figure out what polish we could pick from) we were quickly led to the pedicure area to soak our feet. They quickly came over to grab the child for her child's manicure but she is only 4 and really wanted to do the manicure with her mama (very understandable), so they let her sit in the pedicure area -- this was pretty early on so we were a bit concerned that they wanted to separate the mom and daughter (again, we're at Christmas so.. slightly understandable they wanted to get the manicure out of the way but also, not sure that the 4 year old should be separated from her mama). Pedicures done, we were transferred to the manicure area, they didnt really have a spot for the 4 year old to sit and wait for her technician to do the mani and when asked if they could do both mama and child's manicure together, they were told that the child would be taken care of later... They ended up doing the child's manicure on Mama's manicure station (with a different technician) while Mama was getting hers done (thanks for working with us, but i think this could have been solved by the appointments getting staggered -- remember I said i booked via phone so the person taking the phone call could have easily moved the child's manicure down by 30 mins in order to accommodate the pedicure timing). The technicians did a great job with the child's manicure as well as the adult manicures (tho the child was pretty rough with her manicure and she had chipping on day 2 and required some touch up at home).
They only take Mastercard, Visa and something else that is not AmEx only and tips should be given in cash or you can venmo the technicians. We had a pleasant visit and assuming my mani and pedi hold up, I will probably frequent this salon as I've had a pretty good experience with them thusfar. read more
