Quick, clean, and precise! I loved my simple nails. 35$ for a gel manicure, not bad at all.

The older gentleman who did my nails hurt me many times during the appointment, used his own fingernails to dig out my nail beds and cuticles and didn't cure one side of my set. It's literally the worst of my life. It was a birthday outing for my daughter and he spent the appointment manhandling me and when he saw he hadn't cured my nails, he covered them with oil to try to hide it.

thick, cured gel residue under my nail

I was yelled at in the middle of a nail salon today by the person doing my nails. The nail tech who did my set made racist comments about her own ethnicity (Vietnamese), Chinese, and White people, all within a single appointment. She also proudly told me she has been doing nails since 2004, that she's probably been doing nails longer than I've been alive. You would never know it. For anyone considering visiting, I'd take your business elsewhere to avoid unprompted personal insults and being publicly yelled at by the person doing my service. From the moment I sat down with my nail tech, a Viet woman with short hair, a mint green button down shirt, and rotting teeth, the experience was off. There was no greeting, no "How are you?" Instead, her first words to me were "You're Asian? You look Korean or Japanese, which one are you?" I told her I'm Korean. Later in the appointment, she looked at me and said I actually look Chinese. Okay? I don't know why my ethnicity was a topic of conversation at all. She then commented that I had "let myself go" and "had nowhere to go" because the nails I came in with were short and bare. I hadn't gotten my nails done in a while intentionally, to let them grow and heal. That comment was unnecessary and rude. When I mentioned I had recently moved from California and brought up the large Vietnamese community in Orange County, she told me she knew about it and that she doesn't like it. She doesn't like when the city has too many Vietnamese people. She explicitly said she does NOT want to be around a lot of Vietnamese people. She then went on a rant about how when too many Asian people live in one city, they never learn English because they only speak their native language among themselves. This is coming from a woman who still has a noticeable accent and struggled to pronounce certain words throughout my entire appointment. The hypocrisy and the racism were insane. At one point she accused me of biting my nails. I told her I have never done that, and anyone who looked at my nails could see there were no signs of biting. Rather than moving on, she decided to add that "White people bite their nails a lot." On to the actual nail service: I came in with a reference photo of a french nail set I had gotten previously. I wasn't aware at the time that the shape in the photo was more round than almond, since I'm so used to getting almond. Before she began painting, I asked her to file them back to almond because I preferred that shape. When she got to the french tip, the white line looked uneven to me, thicker on one side than the other. When I tried to explain this, there was a language barrier and she thought I was asking her to extend the white all the way down along the sides. She then went on an antagonistic rant telling me that the reason it looked different from my photo was because the photo was round and I asked for almond, so the difference was my fault. She was extremely condescending and made me feel like I had no right to voice a concern. When the UV set and I looked at the final result, I noticed visible air bubbles, tiny dots, on the first three fingers of my right hand. You could both see and feel the texture. When I pointed this out, she blatantly denied they existed. She pretended she couldn't see them or feel them at all. I could tell she was becoming agitated, and then it happened: she had a loud, angry outburst. She was loud enough that I believe everyone in the salon heard. She snapped at me to "TELL ME IF YOU WANT ME TO FIX IT INSTEAD OF GOING TO MY BOSS AND COMPLAINING YOU WEREN'T HAPPY!!!!" She also made a point of gesturing to how many customers were in the salon, as if my appointment had been an inconvenience to her. I felt so uncomfortable and frankly unsafe in that moment that I didn't feel I could ask her to redo anything. I just wanted to leave. I sincerely hope management reviews this and takes it seriously. This nail tech's behavior is embarrassing and unacceptable. I genuinely hope you do not hire her for the sake of your future business. I will not be returning, and I'll be sharing my experience wherever I can.

the nails i paid $71 for

This place doesn't have real nail technicians they do not no ANYTHING they are doing. Please do not waste your time here or money i paid $71 for a gel x set that i did not ask for. I asked for an acrylic full set for $48 and they gave me a $71 gel x set. I was very disappointed in these nails and this nail shop, do not waste your money here.

i came here with a friend for the first time, i don't usually go to nail salons because they never know what they are doing and don't do exactly what people ask for and charge overly too much. the picture is my INSPO that i asked for, the lady that was doing my nails said they have none of those charms... the video is what i ended up leaving with... y'all are a nail salon how do you not have anything?? also when they sat me down she just automatically started doing gel x, which i didnt ask for and she could've asked me if i wanted gel x or acrylic first before just putting stuff on my nails. i asked for STILETTO. this is not what stiletto is like come on. i like it skinny and very pointy which is what a stiletto nail shape IS. she tried shaping it but i felt like she was lazy with it!!! i was irritated at this point and just wanted to go home but i needed my nails done for an event and my personal nail tech wasn't available. the french tips on the nails are all different sizes as in the shape on the french and its sloppy and the lines are all wiggly to me. and some of the nails shapes doesn't match the other hand. she was a sweet older lady but i just don't think she needs to continue to work there... sorry. these are not real NAIL technicians they just do whatever THEY WANT when you tell them and then get upset when you try to tell them otherwise. i had also came back later that day BECAUSE THE THUMB BROKE NOT EVEN AN HOUR LATER SAME DAY?? i told them can i try to come back and reshape them and get them done again the guy who works at the near front receptionist desk told me YES COME AT 9 AM NEXT DAY, I SAID OKAY! and i made the appointment for next day, showed up. and they are fully booked? and the receptionist told me come back at 11? um no. i had an appointment at 9am and i have somewhere to be. if they know people have appointments they should be ready to take those people in when they show up FOR THEIR APPOINTMENT why are you making them wait or even make the appointment if yall aren't going to tend to them. unprofessional!!! then at that point i'm upset i told them you know what please take these off because i'm not keeping something i do not LIKE on for however many weeks. and also asked for refund. they made me wait another hour just to take 15 minutes for removal... seriously? then when i was done i said can i have my refund? and the guy who told me come back next day was looking and sounding confused? mind you i paid almost 100 for these... did he think he could keep my money while i left WITH NO NAILS? HELLO!??? i said i need my refund i have nothing on my nails and they were terrible. he looked at me and says "you said there were fine that you were okay when you left" i think he forgot that i had came back that same day and showed him exactly what i asked for and he told me come back? and i told him no i came that morning at 9 when he told me and yall didn't take me?? so no i wanted my refund since i got them removed and he seemed to be irritated with my and upset because im asking for MY MONEY back after they did a shit job? yeah okay. anyways don't come here nails salons nowadays don't give a crap about people's inspirations or what they ask for. barely have the supplies too. you get what you get and they want you to accept it and pay over 100's of dollars for bare minimum. i go to a personal nail tech who does 10000% BETTER and charges me less than 75 for what i asked for at the nail salons. they are a joke. don't. come. here. !!!!

This is the second time I've been here and they did an amazing job once again! They were all so nice and did my nails exactly how I wanted. I went all out and got a couple designs for my trip to Vegas and it was perfect! They were such a good price I am so shocked. Will definitely be my new go to place!!

I recently moved to the Springs and was looking for a really good nail salon, not wanting to drive an hour to my usual go-to. This is the first place I came across and decided to give it a try and they did NOT disappoint! Oh my god the service. I was greeted with smiles by literally everyone (and there were a lot of staff) as soon as I walked into my 9 AM appointment. I was seated immediately for the most relaxing pedicure I've ever received. I forgot to ask the name of the gentleman who did my pedicure but he was amazing. My gel rebase turned out fabulous as well. My technician knew what she was doing and was so detail-oriented. I left the salon at 10:10. An hour and ten minutes for a gel pedicure and gel rebase is amazing compared to the 2 hours minimum I spend at my go-to in Aurora. The salon is clean and has a very relaxing vibe. Their gentle work along with the music they play really makes you want to take a nap. I would highly recommend these guys for work you wouldn't regret!

Grace fixed my eyebrows exactly how I like them, I've spent 3 years looking for someone to listen to me and I'm so happy she did! I'll be back (: Thank you Grace

Still doing his job better than anyone!

It took me 50years to find a perfect nail pro. Alex. He's the best and I lived in soCal most of my adult life. His attention to detail are beyond measure. This man really does nails. And he's so considerate and professional. I drive 30 min to see him.

They resolved an issue I had very courteously. I would recommend requesting a stylist who the other reviewers have mentioned are excellent.

I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Sharon and Wellness Matters. She is extremely knowledgeable in a…read morewide range of practices that will benefit you both physically and mentally. Sharon's versatility is unmatched and she is always learning new techniques and methods in order to better serve her clients. I've received aesthetician services from her including lash lifting and tinting (SO much less of a pain than extensions), eyebrow design, and facials, as well as some reflexology work. I plan to visit for a sound therapy session to see how it aids with issues of stress and anxiety. The atmosphere of her office space is so relaxing, and I always feel well taken care of and pampered. Make an appointment! You will not regret it!!!

Going to Sharon at Wellness Matters for my first sugaring experience was truly a great experience…read morein every way possible! She talks to you prior to your appointment to see what your needs are, to see if there's anything else that she can do for you, and lets you know what to expect. The place was very clean and she explained extra disinfection/sanitation precautions due to COVID, which put me at ease since I am currently expecting. The atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxing too. Sharon was very warm, approachable, and does a wonderful job not only at what she does but at putting you at ease and helping you relax. It's only been a few days since my appointment and I'm already noticing the difference between waxing and sugaring and let's just say I will definitely be going back--not only because of the results but because I really like Sharon! She even checked in on me a few days later to see how things were going, which was so thoughtful of her. I only had sugaring done, but she provides other services as well, and regardless, I would HIGHLY, DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY, 150% recommended going to see Sharon!
