    Nails

    They were nice but the quality was very poor. The $38 manicure didn't come with any kind of filing or detail. She just painted polish on (and not very well). My mom got a pedicure and it was the speediest thing I've ever seen. They also put a bowl of acetone on her lap and when she asked for a towel so it wouldn't spill on her dress, the lady ( I think she was the manager) didn't bring her one. Not one to ever post a negative review, but this place is rough

    Green SNS dip over my real nails.

    I love Minh! He is so professional and friendly! I moved here from WV expecting having to try a few salons before I found "the one" but nope. He knew exactly what I wanted and how to make my nails make me feel beautiful. He knows his product. He also, is very fair. Pricing is good! And when I broke a nail the day after my appointment, he fixed it for free. I will come here for as long as I live in the area. Thanks Minh!!

    ***UPDATE***** 24 hours later - 2 nails have chipped, not worth the $37 plus tip that was paid.

    Was a walk in and was taken care of quickly. However my nails ended up horrible. I asked for a gel manicure, the male giving it to me did not seem to understand what I was saying, when I tried to take a piece of cotton off he told me "ok enough." He filed half my nails off, they are all crooked and left a lot of polish on my fingers, so much so that the polish is now lifting 8 hours later.

    Pedicure was very relaxing, but my manicure was worthless. I paid extra for gel and it chipped the next day, and a week on almost all nails have had peeling or cracking. I was on vacation there for a wedding otherwise I would have gone back to make them fix it.

    A little secret gem. Came down from Raleigh to vacation and after a day full of rain decided to come get my nails done. Don't let the non fancy plaza fool you ....it's the small places that usually surprise you. I came in for a nail polish change on my toes and a fix, ended up getting an Ombré fill in. The owner/manager was friendly and took his time. The ladies working there also spoke and were very friendly. (A small gesture but a big deal overall). Thank you for your friendliness.... will definitely be back.

    All of my nails are bleeding and some look infected. The man doing my nails laughed every time my nails started bleeding. They never threw away the buffer after I bleed on it and made us pay in cash. Very unsanitary. To remove my dip/acrylic done at a different place they didn't use foils just had me stick my whole hand in acetone for more than 15 min. Worst nail experience of my life. This was yesterday and my cuticle area is in a lot of pain still.

    I love coming here in off season! Great service in a clean salon. More gel colors than you can pick from-so yay! No SNS which is fine since I am still recovering from having them. Reasonable prices, too. Make the most of your OIB visit!

    Fun nails!

    I like this salon! They had an excellent choice of different colors for gel polish, which is what I got. Would recommend making an appointment, especially if you go during summer.

    Had my nails done a week tomorrow!! One broke today, they did no cuticle work, and they didn't clean underneath them. Will not go back

    Cuts on thumb

    So I had called a day early with my mother to get our nails done. We wanted a sns for me and gel for her, plus our toes. We walk in the next day, with 3 people in the room and 4 people working. We walk around trying to see what colors we want to do our toes. As we get seated a woman brings us a SNS color strip, we asked the man if it was also gel with it because my mom just wanted gel, he replied yes so we continued. As he finished my toes we go to the table to do my nails and he asked if I would like long or short nails, I replied long and next think I know he is cutting my nails. Going to put acrylics on. First off I didn't call to have acrylics I already had natural long nails. As I tell him I wasn't wanting acrylics he picks up my cut off nail showing me he has already cut my nails short. Not like I didn't already know that but you can't go back once you have done something. So I told him to continue with the acrylics because I had just got engaged and the nails are for my engagement pictures and I didn't want short nails. This part of the sns was going smoothly until he STOPPED WORKING ON ME TO LOOK AT HIS PHONE. How unprofessional, you are with a customer who is paying you. As he continues he gets to the end when you have to file the nail and all I really have to say was I was bleeding. He had filed my skin on 8/10 fingers. When I say I feel like I have a 100 paper cuts on my hands my hands hurt. I was not pleased with this experience and I don't recommend you coming here at all.

    What I got. My technician ignored my shape  request and did what she thought I would like. Also would not do cow print.

    THEY FAVOR LOCALS AND OLDER PEOPLE!!! THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOUNGER (25 years old and younger) AND TOURIST!!!! If I could give them less than one star I would ! This is probably the worst I've ever been treated by a nail salon ! Upon arrival there was only two other customers in the whole store and there was three workers available very friendly and nice whenever we first walked in. Once we explained that there was three full sets they had us pick out a color. They immediately started on me and then ignored my other two sisters (one being 8 years old but still wanting acrylics) there was one lady who began working on my youngest sibling and then once another client walked in that was wanting a pedicure she immediately got up and left my sibling that she was already working on. She left my siblings with long tips on her fingers did not bother to cut them down or attach the tips to the pinky finger. I then asked my technician who is sitting right next to her to please pause working on me and cut down the tips that way she could function and be able to be on her phone while waiting. My technician ignored me and then my other sibling asked the technician that was getting ready to work on her to please skip her and work on her sister first. That technician refused because he "did not wanna work on the baby" so instead of going back to work on my other siblings he decided to take a new pedicure client instead. Knowing we were upset one of the technician said that he would be working on our youngest sibling done but then a local came in and he decided to take her ahead of us for the third time now. We were highly upset and my one sister that was not able to get her nails done when ahead and left I let my technician finish mine and then try to leave. Upon me leaving the technician who chose the local insted tried to confront me in front of everybody asked me why I was not happy in why I was leaving upon me trying to explain he continued to argue with me telling me I was wrong. Long story short this place is awful ! Not only are they rude they also do nails poorly ! I do NOT recommend! Not to mention I had to pay $50 for mine and will not have to go get them redone !

    I made an appointment for 2:00 pm and the place was busy. I was directed to choose a color and then…read moreI was kinda on my own. One lady told me I could sit in an open pedi chair which I did. But I was left alone until 2:38. They seem to overbook clients or don't really honor appointments. Finally, someone ran the water for me to soak my feet and the water was too HOT. Then they came back and adjusted. A basic pedi is $35 and a Deluxe starts at $40. Like everything, it's gotten so expensive to get a simple pedi. I will be treating this as a special occasion. The pedicure began at 2:40 finally. 3:20 finished. It ended up being an enjoyable pedi. The clay mask was relaxing and the extra massaging was welcomed and enjoyed. But...I think they need to figure out how to manage appointments better. I also am not sure I would return unless it was early in the morning and I knew my appointment time would be honored.

I went for a "hard gel fill" which down here is called a "builder fill". I also got a French tip, classic white polish that I like done high. $60 with a tip. She did a wonderful job! I made a second appointment!

I went into the salon a few days earlier asked the stylist if she could do my hair color I showed her a picture of what I wanted a color I previously had. She said that she could do it. I asked her if she was absolutely sure she said yes I made an appointment I came back. I went to salon got there at 1 o'clock. She did not take me until 130. I showed her a photo again of me with the hair color I wanted and asked again if she could do it. she said yes. I sat in the chair for over five hours when she started to dry my hair, I told her that it was not what I asked for, she asked Another stylist to help she started adding all kinds of bright red shades. I asked for a little trim and not to take a lot I showed her how much. she took over 2" off my hair. I was so devastated what my hair looked like I was speechless. I walked out of the salon looking like Ronald McDonald. I went back to the salon because I was embarrassed how bad my hair looked like I spoke to the owners daughter she was very nice and said would I let them do something and would refund my money, but she needed to talk to the stylist. I then got a phone call from the owner, who was absolutely nasty and said that my color was beautiful I said it was not what I asked for and that everybody else that saw the color laughed at me. my friend who recommended the salon said sorry for recommending them. the owner got very nasty to me and said that she would not refund my money. the owner also said she hade me on video saying that I liked it. I told her I did not say that I was distraught about what the women did to my hair with the color and how much the stylist cut my hair. I was very adamant about the color and I didn't want a lot cut off. The owner refused to listen to any of my concerns and was very nasty and when I asked to see the videotape that she said she had she refused to show it to me. She is recording conversations that you have with your stylist without your knowledg. I have never had a salon owner treat me the way that this owner did. I do not recommend you going to this salon if you care about your hair and want your hair to be done the way you want not the way they think it should be done. Owner continued to talk about a video she had and when I said she was saying things that were not true and to show me the video she refused. I cannot express what a horrible experience this was.
