I was genuinely excited to get my nails and toes done, so I expected a service that reflected the money I spent and the time I took out of my day. The results were okay at best, but having my gel polish start peeling off less than five minutes after leaving is completely unacceptable. Gel polish is supposed to last, not start lifting almost immediately. I shouldn't have to question the quality of a service I just paid for. I'm extremely disappointed, and I expect better quality, attention to detail, and accountability from a professional nail salon. This experience fell far below my expectations.

French tip

Very beautiful French tip She worked very clean and careful, she took her time to make it as easy, even as possible

What I asked for
Pia G.

Want to love them because it's super close to my house... BUT, see pics of what I asked for vs what I got. I walked in and asked for the car eye and chrome look and I could sense that the 3 ladies working were a little nervous. Nevertheless, the older one took me and said she got this. I had an appointment following the service so I made it known towards the end of the design that I would need it to be fixed because it was done with polish and was left so thick that it ran/bubbled/peeled off within 2 hours of me coming in. Anyway, I called the same day to remind (what seemed like the manager) that I was unable to return Tuesday so I would have to return today Wednesday. They told me to come at 10, but then I show up and I'm stuck waiting for everyone to finish. I just got seated and I'm worried they won't turn out as good. We'll see.

Salon was very clean and staff was sweet. Only problem I have is that I paid 120 + tips (extra because 10$ more for french tip which i wasn't notified beforehand nor was it listed anywhere) a pedi and mani. The manicure was Gel-x and the set didn't even last me a full week. They just easily popped off one by one which is extremely upsetting because I actually enjoyed the work:(

French Tip Manicure

I was serviced quickly and the ladies were very kind and made sure I was okay with how my nails looked every step (length, color, shape, etc.). I'm very happy with how they did my nails!

Called ahead of time to ask if they are taking walk ins. They said I can come in, instantly the lady was rushing and i was not getting the shape I wanted . Even after I asked her a few times she ignored it . French tip was very sloppy. I've had good experiences in the past but this time was very bad

Full set
Megan P.

Not sure if there's new staff here but they don't take no gel as an answer here apparently, I told her regular polish on my toes and they proceed to say gel is better etc. then proceed to add gel(+$15) then when I say no remember I said regular and they start talking amongst each other. I've came here plenty of times and these new faces are not making me want to return. Not a fan of my full set either sighhhhhhh

Gel x
Jackie J.

Vivian was very accommodating. I showed her a picture & she told me she hadn't done that design before but that she was going to try. It ended up looking great in my opinion! & she was really fast too. Definitely will be coming back

Red French tip "big apple red" in OPI gel
Diba O.

Had such a great first experience here! Called right when they opened and they were able to take me right away. I've been trying to grow my natural nails out but they're still pretty thin and they recommended adding one coat of builder gel (which I was hesitant b/c it can come out thick) but she did a really great job at making it thin and adding gel color over! My French nails were done perfectly and my nails feel so strong. I definitely recommend this place! + it was so clean and the whole place was remodeled. 10/10. Ask for Wendy!

It's been red and painful when I touch it

It was about my 6th time coming here and it's probably my last.. I went for a pedicure and gel manicure removal only and the pedicure was ok but the removal was horrible .. I understand and apologize that it kept her after hours but omg she used the nail drill machine to removal it all and damaged my nails.. it's been about 4 days or more and my nails still hurt so much. It seems as if she used the machine as a way to just get me out the door. I would have preferred her to tell me there was no time.

My pedicures was done nicely with Wendy

He started measure gel x tips and I had to remind him we were doing acrylic. He should have said that he cannot do acrylic because, he cannot do acrylic. It was some of the worst acrylic application I have ever seen in my life. Sloppy, lazy, trash. I should have got up after seeing his acrylic application on my first hand. That's my fault. When he was done filing I asked if he could even out the nails because they were lumpy. He proceeded to make the shape even worse and still lumpy. I asked if I should wash my hands after filing (every shop I have ever gone to in my life has told me to) and he said no. I should have stopped him here too. It took him an hour and a half just to put the acrylic on. At this point I realized he was either talentless or purposely messy my nails up. So I skipped the nail art I asked for and asked just for plain gel polish on top. At the end I told the lady at the front that I hated my nails and showed her and she understood and told me I could come back and have someone else fix them. Initially I accepted the offer but I have since canceled the appointment. I would rather die than trust this shop ever again. If I could give Jay 0 stars I would. Beware, this guy is horrible.

I've been a loyal customer of Kristy's for a long time and spend a lot of money at this salon…read more Unfortunately, Kristy wasn't feeling well today, so another technician named Tony did my daughter's nails. My daughter showed him the inspiration picture before he started, and the final result looked nothing like what she requested. The design was missing several major details, including the white sculpted accents, the flower, the gold embellishments, and the overall quality of the pattern. We came to an agreement were charged $80 for a set that didn't resemble the inspiration. What disappointed me even more was the customer service. When I politely asked if they could fix the nails, I was told they couldn't do anything because my daughter was a last-minute addition and that I would have to wait for my regular nail technician to return. If they weren't able to recreate the design, they should have been honest from the beginning instead of accepting the service and charging full price. As a loyal customer, I expected much better communication and customer service. This experience was extremely disappointing, and I hope management addresses both the quality of the work and how loyal customers are treated. that Kristy was gonna fix her nails. She also told me that before I came into the appointment that I needed to talk to the owner of the company so I was kind of surprised so I called the guy and he was saying oh cause you're still complaining and I don't know what so she doesn't wanna talk to you which is fine. I thought me and her were good friends, but I guess not and yeah, she fixed her nails, but here are the screenshots of all the stuff they kept telling me when I told them that I was upset with the service that I received they offered me a refund, but at this point, I honestly just wanted to get out of there like why did it take for me to talk all this crap so you guys can pay attention to me and they still have the audacity to charge me 40 bucks after their fuck up

This other nail tech refused to remove my gel without drilling and they refused to service me as a result. Very disappointed. Dean was great but I was also disappointed with how he handled this. He allowed his employee to disrespect me and refused to accommodate me--all I wanted was someone who would not damage my nails after years of bad experiences. Not sure why nail techs get such an attitude when I insist on no drilling. I don't recommend this place at all but if you have to go for a gel manicure, only go to Dean.

I just wanted a plain pedicure and pink and white acrylic, which are services I booked on the website. Everyone who helped me seemed like they'd rather be doing something else. This was my first time here and I was hoping to find a new regular salon so I can have my self care days. My pedicure was just fine, I don't mind an upsell for the massage or callous remover here and there, but I just didn't have the time today. She was incredibly attentive with my cuticles and ingrowns, so I appreciate that very much. That's the only service I am giving stars to. For my nails, I wasn't asked what shape I wanted and when I asked for almond before he started filing, I was met with a sigh and tossing the nail file. My application was uneven, though it took almost 2 hours. There are air bubbles in my pink acrylic as well. My services took forever, I booked for 12:45 and finished at 3:10 for a regular pedicure and acrylic pink and white. The estimated times online are 35 minutes for a pedicure and 1 hour for full set, it was a Tuesday afternoon so the salon was not packed and busy as a weekend morning would be. I lost a majority of my day to waiting here and now do not have enough time to do all of my errands for the day. The prices are very competitive, but I would say the service received reflects that pricing. $25 for regular pedicure and $60 for pink and white acrylic. I think I would only return if I was desperate :(

First the removal, all she did was soak my nails in hot acetone and then file them so rough. I kept flinching in pain and she NEVER checked in with me once. Then I paid for a Builder Gel set, yet all she did was paint a thin layer and file. She never built off of my nail and shaped it or anything. This was not even builder gel for all I know. She didn't do anything to my cuticles and just left skin there. The color she painted wasn't even close to the color I chose. It's hideous and she just painted over my bumpy "builder gel". I also thought it was weird that she didn't even let my nails cure until the light went off. She just kept switching them so fast. When she finished she didn't say a word so I wasn't even sure I was done until she got up and started cleaning her things. My nails are bumpy, the shape looking like a fcking triangle which is NOT what I asked for nor did she even ask what I wanted. I paid $70 for the ugliest, bumpiest, horribly painted, triangle looking nails. She did not ask if I liked it or anything because she probably knew I hated them and I'm sure she hated them also. I was the ONLY client there for the first half of my service so there was no reason for rushing and I would assume she would be able to do her best, considering there wasn't any clients before or after me. I would rather have no nails than have these UGLY DISGUSTING NAILS.
