Manicured!
Ana M.

By far worst nail place i have ever been to. I only needed gel removal and trim. I have very good strong nail and the cutter lady was using was like industrial one!! Not fore human hands! My nails look very weak and feel painful! I cant believe how hard of a job this can be! My nail was not even straight!

This nail shop is always busy but you know it's good that's why it's popping. I've never had a problem with getting my nails done with a walk in. Lots of nail techs. My nails always lasts for weeks and get lots of compliments. Competitive price.

Prices July 2024

$40 for a mani and pedi, thank you! They have OPI nail polish options and massage chairs, friendly staff- it's my go-to spot!

Came back for a gel mani and express (basic) pedicure, and really happy with everything! The interior is always clean, all the ladies wear gloves, they have a great selection of colors, and something is always playing on TV to help the time pass. Han did a great job with my almond-shaped gel manicure. I really liked the sweet romance color, which is like a light mauve pink. My pedicure was done meticulously as well. They did a great job getting rid of all the dead skin and cleaned up my cuticles so well. They require their tips to be CASH only even though you can pay for the services with card.

needed acrylic on big toe, fought back-and-forth that it was crooked with the lady. ended up fixing it at home and paid 120 for both

Got the same design for my hands and feet needed acrylic for my big toe asked her to make it even she kept insisting it was already so I ended up fixing it myself at home with my own filer and this is what I got for my nails. I didn't even wanna fight over my nails so I paid the $120 I stupidly owed and leave and not come back.

I've been coming to this nail salon on and off for years. But more recently I have been more consistent. I usually get a gel mani and regular polish pedicure and occasionally will have my eyebrows waxed. Call to make an appointment is the way to go but they're flexible. I once had a polish chip and nail crack. I called that in and spoke with Lynn. She told me to just come back and they would fix it. Sure enough that they did and didn't want to charge me either. But because I've had a generally great experience with the salon, I did pay for the fix. There are plenty of pedi chairs and you can get both fingernails and toenails done simultaneously provided there are enough free Nail techs. It's always clean and they have so many colors to choose from.

Pedi with French tip. $42
Silvia W.

Quick to the point, clean with instruments that are sterilized. They open the packaging in front of you. Tons of color and designs. Very friendly staff. Not pushy to buy other stuff. Prices varies from $24 and up for pedi, it's not an extra charge to sit in the pedi chair. Paid $42. Update, 3 days later, heels look no body touch it with callous removal. ‍

Gel builder French manicure

One week later & 75% of the nails are lifting. This is ridiculous and I'm angry I paid any money for these.

Broken nail left unfixed after an hour long manicure.
Jess R.

Went in for a regular mani and gel removal for $26 (which is not the issue). The nail tech was polite but the service was just subpar. She used ice cold water to soak my nails. After using the drill to remove the gel she didn't wipe any of the dust off of my hands. She just proceeded to give me a "massage." Which was painful and short lived, rubbing in the dust from the gel polish into my skin. Then when I got to the car I realized she had left my clearly broken nail unfixed. Won't be going back.

Scheduled an appointment on the same day and we were seen on time (we arrived slightly early). The paraffin wax treatment is only $8. Pedicure is $20. My feet felt nice and soft after and they have a massage chair that I was able to use for an hour (but it kinda felt like it was for shorter people as sometimes the rollers didn't reach my back even when i moved the direction). They also have TV screens to watch while you are being pampered. I saw an interesting street food show. I would come back again!

Z helped bring my nail idea design to life!

LOVE this nail place! The ladies are so nice and friendly! Plus, they do quick and amazing work. I normally don't try to get nail designs because it costs too much or the nail techs don't do a really good job, so for a long time, I didn't do different nail designs. Here, they make me comfortable and confident in picking more "extra" nails. Although the photo isn't too "extra," it was a calmed down version and the only photo I have right now.. hehe Anyway, please come check this place out! Make an appointment because they can get super busy if you're trying to do a walk in.

Almond shape with red dip on my natural nails !
Karlie M.

LOVE LOVE LOVE my nails! First time getting almond and I'm obsessed! I have been getting square for the last 6 years but Scott told me almond would look good and I trusted him and he was 100% right! I've been going to this nail salon for almost 7 years and I love them

Gel mani/pedi colors for Valentines weekend
Tiffy L.

I absolutely adore this tucked away gem of a nail salon. i haven't been here in sooo long but am glad to stumble upon it again and will now be a local regular! Idk why but people often can't tell I'm Vietnamese , so I'll never bring it up to just listen to what the workers say. Whether or not mail salons talk shit on me in Vietnamese plays a huge factor on determining whether or not i'll come back or write a review. Haha This place didn't talk any crap and did a great job on my gel manicure & pedicure. I got the luxury packages for both my hands and feet so they took extra care of me with massages and scrubs. I even got an actual shoulders massage which started putting me to sleep. Ive been overwhelmed with work, a one year old, and a whole house move so I haven't been able to treat myself to anything since December. Thank goodness I stepped in for some TLC. Once my nails get longer, I'll come back and see how they do with designs, GEL X, and all the crazier stuff. But yeah, get the luxury package at leasttt and don't forget to tip your nail techs!

I have bitten nails and I'm looking for someone who works well with short nails, I heard hard gel extensions work well is that true? If so how much?

I also have short brittle nails and Scott does a great job taking care of them. If you want longer nails you can get either acrylic or silk. I would recommend getting a gel manicure which is $25 and allow your nails to grow out with them. Hope this… 

How much for a full set, no gel but design only one nail?

23 and up, depends on how long you want for your nails, and 5 or more for design

They charge 30 to remove and out a new set

5, if you put gel back on, no charge for remove

I've been a loyal client for roughly 10 years, through several different wax specialists, and I'm…read moredone -- not because of the service itself, but because of everything corporate wraps around it. The "rewards" points aren't rewards, they're a sales tactic. I'll have $10 in points sitting on my account and get asked at checkout if I'd like to put it toward a $60 product. No -- having $10 doesn't mean I want to spend $50 more. Similarly, when I have a few waxes left on a package, I'll be told a renewal special is ending soon "in case I want to lock it in" -- a soft-sell disguised as a courtesy. The scheduling is worse. They text reminders so frequently that I'll get one two days before an appointment and another the day before, both expecting a "yes." A few weeks ago I confirmed one of these reminders, drove roughly 30 minutes to get there at the exact date and time it listed, and was told my appointment was actually the following week. I had the text confirmation in hand. No apology, no credit, nothing for the wasted trip. Most recently, I was refused check-in because I didn't have physical ID on me -- I'd left my purse in the car on a 93° day and only brought my phone. The specialist I've worked with for years was in the building and could have easily confirmed who I was, but that wasn't an option. Nowhere in their reminder texts or emails do they mention ID will be required at every single visit, not just at sign-up. Demanding it repeatedly, with no advance notice, feels excessive and unnecessary. Add in consistently terrible parking, and it's just not worth it anymore. After a decade, I'm switching to an independent, sole-proprietor esthetician. You lose the personal touch the moment a good service gets buried under corporate policy.
