She is…read moresuper knowledgeable when it comes to products and is enthusiastic about explaining ingredients and the latest research on all things nails. For the booked and busy working girlies though, head up that she's not the type to confirm when your appointment is approaching like we're used to with beauty services, and she doesn't use any kind of automatic appointment system. This cost me $55 for a missed appointment because I'm so used to providers who either use auto systems or send manual reminders. On me, so I paid it without issues. Regardless, she's super sweet, fun to talk to, and again, the best massage I've ever had during a pedi. Also, she's a major foodie, so be sure to ask her for restaurant recommendations because she sent me to a couple amazing spots. Highly recommend Celeste, but be aware that remembering your appointment is on you.

In my 11 years on Yelp, this is my first time reviewing a business I didn't even try yet but this…read moreneeds to be said: Extremely poor customer service. I attempted to find this location while on a break from the hospital, but my GPS was lagging. When I called for help with directions, the person on the phone (maybe the owner idk) was incredibly dismissive. Despite their hours saying 'Open,' she told me she was on a 1.5-hour lunch break. When I tried to clarify the location, she told me she 'never had anyone have this issue' and asked if I was even from here. She eventually hung up on me. In a small town, you'd expect basic kindness, but I was treated like an inconvenience. I decided to take my business elsewhere.

STEER CLEAR OF LINDA YOU'VE BEEN WARNED…read more I wish I could leave zero or negative stars. 1 star is way too high for this "salon". Linda is crazy, rude, unprofessional, and downright senile! I called her on 12/28 asking if she did dip or hard gel. She said she doesn't do dip because it's bad for your nails but she does do hard gel. I asked her how much and she said $35-40. The only reason I went to her is because of the price she offered me. I wrote it down in my notes and told her great I'd like to book an appointment for the next day. She was very talkative on the phone but I thought she was just overly friendly. I should have known better. She told me to call her when I got to the parking lot. I get to the parking lot and call her and she doesn't answer so I find my way up. I get to her suite and she immediately starts talking down to me about how nobody listens anymore do they. I said that I did call you when I got here. She checked her phone and it was on do not disturb. I felt odd about her speaking to me like that but at this point I had a babysitter at home, was already there and she had offered me a good price so I just went along with the appointment. She took about 20 minutes to start my appointment talking in circles about her goodwill finds, drawing me a diagram about hair follicle growth (like how is this even relevant to nails?) and saying that my nails made her stomach sick. She finally started the appointment and would stop and go on tangents every 5 minutes. She was extremely irritating to be around let alone have a service done by when you're on a time crunch and 37 weeks pregnant with two toddlers at home. She made many racist remarks against Vietnamese nail salon workers and comparing curly hair to "hair of people of color" (direct quote). It finally comes time to pay and I confirmed if it was going to be $35 or $40 and she started losing it on me, berating me, calling me a jumper and telling me to get out of there if I didn't pay her pricing. I told her that we spoke the day before and she had quoted me $35-40 for hard gel so why was she changing it now? She denied ever saying that and said she even added extra services (which she didn't) and the price was $60. She told me to either not pay and leave and don't leave her a bad review and never go back to her again or pay her pricing. I wasn't going to leave there without paying while she was legitimately having a mental breakdown or something so I paid the $60, did NOT add any tip and left. Again, being 37 weeks pregnant and having active contractions I just wanted to go somewhere and have a relaxing time while getting my nails done but instead got hustled, berated, talked down to, criticized and insulted. I even left my really nice brumate water jug there and don't even want to deal with this psycho lady to go back and get it. The manicure itself was pretty bad. The hard gel she cured is uneven and lumpy in many spots and she had no pink nude colors to put on top so it doesn't even look like I got my nails done. This was just the worst nail salon experience of my life and I am definitely taking this up with American Express because to pay $60 to be mistreated in such a way with a shitty manicure will never sit right with me. I'm attaching photos of my nails the very next day, the hard gel is already lifting in certain places and the shaping and paint job look like my 3 year old son did it. Another poor girl called her in the middle of my appointment to book a same day full set with her and linda was so rude to her too. I hope she didn't book. I have no idea who this lady thinks she is but she belongs in a mental institution, not running a business. I have no idea how she thinks she can talk to and treat people like this. I am definitely going to try to call the cosmetology board and have this lady reported and looked into. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ABSOLUTE TORTURE THIS LADY IS. Also, her "salon" is a small cramped room in a weird building, not comfortable or relaxing to be in at all. Just DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE.

Before/After...sweet client great times.

This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had, coupled with unacceptable quality of work. I originally booked with my regular technician, but since he was unavailable, the owner himself performed my service instead. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. Throughout the appointment, the owner was ARROGANT, dismissive, and unwilling to take responsibility for obvious mistakes. Every concern I raised was met with an excuse. When I pointed out that my nails were not filed straight, I was told it was because my nails do not grow straight. When the polish was applied unevenly, I was told it was due to my nail texture. When I mentioned that the polish appeared old and sticky, he became defensive, even though he had just ADDED THINNER to the bottle in front of me, and ultimately transferred me to another technician rather than addressing the issue professionally. The photos clearly show bubbles and an uneven finish. These are application issues, not the result of my nail texture. As a paying customer, I should not have to argue over obvious quality concerns or be blamed for substandard work. After this experience, the other negative reviews make perfect sense. If this is how the owner treats long-time customers and handles legitimate feedback, I cannot recommend this salon. There are far better places that value their customers and stand behind the quality of their work.
