I wanted to try a New Nail Salon til I find what Amenities and customer service is right for Me!…read more I've by past this spot a billion times esp when working at Wegmans. Yesterday 7-6-26 was a chilled experience!. The Man at the front desk was cool and helpful til the end!. You wait in a semi- waiting area to be called! Then you sit in the chairs!. The Tech I got was Tammy! Asking around since my first time Liz was top tier!. . Tammy was very nice asked about the temperature and made sure I didn't fall when I had to get up . made sure I was comfortable and what services I wanted etc and explain the difference between. The Vibe was very chill they give you something to drink from Wine to actual tea bag brewed tea/coffee!! . I'd return here I loved how the staff were attentive even if it wasn't your tech! . I believe you needed an appointment but the nice receptionist scheduled me on spot! so glad. I'd return to this location

Unable to keep polish from bleeding onto cuticles and opted to file with an Emory board. When asked…read morecould he simply (and less painfully) redo the area where the polish bled one other tech chimed in to further explain why the polish bled. I asked again, can you redo it? The other tech said yes. The person working on me started to speak another language. After further inspection, all of my toes have the same bleed. Rather than redo them all I opted not to have them all done. Is it really so hard to polish toes and not file off your cuticle beds to correct the mistake?

It shouldn't be this hard to get, and keep my nails done…read more Most of the nail technicians in here are (artistically) talented, however it's SO HARD to make an appointment. I have shared my concerns with the owner and asked her to implement an online scheduling system. She expressed reservations due to the fact that customers may not know what they want, booking one service online and then coming in expecting another. It's a shame to have such a valuable and sought-after product, but simultaneously making it so difficult for customers to get their hands on that product. Booking an appointment has become somewhat of a guessing game. I give them a date and a time of my desired appointment. They tell me that my preferred nail tech is not available, but NEVER say UNTIL WHEN. So I throw out another date. Same thing: Not available. On and on it goes. Instead of providing me with options (namely, telling me the next available date for my preferred nail tech, or other nail techs who have availability at that same day and time), they repeat what they don't have available, or ask me to blindly pick another nail tech that I've never worked with (I don't even know their names because I've never worked with them, so how can I be expected to pick them?). So I'm expected to be both psychic and memorize the roster of the staff here... Just to get an appointment?! In order to book appointments I had to call multiple times over multiple days until someone was able to give me enough information to book an appointment, reach out to the owner on Instagram, and even drive all the way to the nail salon.... JUST TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I tried to make an appointment prior to the holidays before everything got booked up. Myself and another customer stood in line for at least 20 minutes in a practically empty nail salon while the owner's mother did someone's nails before she finally addressed us. Even then, she only handed us a register paper and told us to write down what services we wanted and when we wanted to come in, telling us that someone would call us to confirm (which never happened, by the way). We could have saved a lot of time if she had just asked us to do that and leave the paper on the counter while she finished her customer. After waiting 3 days, I finally called the salon and was told that they did not have my appointment request. Not surprising, given that it was scribbled on a piece of receipt paper that was given to me. Somebody probably threw away thinking that it was trash without following up. I tried to book my next two appointments to avoid this headache and was told that in order to book an appointment with my preferred nail tech, I now have to follow her on social media and DM her to try to book an appointment with her there. REALLY?! Instead of scraps of paper, or having to stalk somebody on Instagram, why not keep an old school appointment book, or even one online? It's really not that hard. These nail techs are also not great with time management. Many of my appointments have had to be rescheduled... For the middle of my work day. (Thank goodness for remote work) One of the (now former) nail techs completely forgot about my appointment and passed me off to somebody else without even acknowledging me or her oversight. Another nail tech pressured me into making an appointment earlier than I wanted, only for her to show up 45 minutes after the appointed time. No phone call, no update, no communication whatsoever. Just me sitting there wondering if this was another canceled appointment that they forgot to communicate to me. I say "another" because I had an appointment with the same technician that she canceled, but the salon did not leave me a message to let me know. The only way I found out is because I wanted to add something onto my existing appointment and when I called the salon, I was told that I no longer had an appointment because that person decided not to work that day. In addition to horrendous time management and the hoops you have to jump through to get an appointment, the nail retention is also poor... And ultimately that's why I chose to get my services done elsewhere. Like I said, artistically some of these nail techs do a good job, but in terms of actual quality of work... Not so much. I tried to make it work, because finding a new nail salon can be a pain. However, I started experiencing substantial lifting of my nails after practically every appointment. At one point, I even developed nail fungus under my acrylic, which one of the nail techs ignored completely and just covered with acrylic, and another who tried to tell me "That's not nail fungus, it's bacteria". Whatever it is, it's not supposed to be under my nails... And it wouldn't be if the work was done correctly. Aesthetically, this is one of the nicer looking nail salons in the area, but looks are deceiving. This salon presents a lot of challenges from a booking, customer service, and quality of work perspective.

I walked in, was rushed to pick a color instead of greeted. Said I could grab some water, which was nice. The mumbling in Viet started as soon as I sat down, could really make you feel out of place. (Just because someone doesn't know the language doesn't mean they don't hear the tone and can pick up on context.) Cut me twice, apologized, and a couple other hiccups that I won't bother to mention. She lightened up throughout time, but I may have to give it a second thought before going again.. I still tipped well because the actual nails came out good. (My total ~$96.00)Not to my like, as she was not easy to tell what I wanted done. Lady came in right to the end of my service with an appointment, and needed to get acetone removed from her hands that lady doing my nails had wrapped in foil and said, "excuse me- can you--" (I'm sure her hands were either hurting or were uncomfortable), and lady doing my nails interrupted her loudly in front of the whole salon, to say she's almost done with me. I felt terrible for her since she had an appointment on top of that. The fact that there's a lot of competitors for you (Nova nails) should push you to improve in timing and care with how you talk to clients and be careful about what you say you can and can not do for a service. I'm still looking for a place that is both well at communicating with clients, and has the skill set for an awesome set. Please remember to treat people kindly. How you make someone feel is really important.

Unfortunately, the customer service has consistently fallen short. On multiple visits, he didn't greet me when I arrived and was curt throughout my appointment. During one visit, he commented on my nails and asked, "Do you wash your hands?" I found that remark unnecessary and disrespectful. Most recently, he again didn't acknowledge me or say hello. I don't expect anyone to be overly friendly, but I do expect basic professionalism and courtesy. No customer should leave feeling like their business isn't appreciated. The quality of the work is important, but so is how clients are treated. I hope management addresses this because I can't justify continuing to spend my money where I don't feel respected.

Overall, I think that they did a pretty good job on the actual painting of my nails. As in, the paint with even without bubbles, etc. That said, The gel on my toes did not last. And two nails in my fill/full set. (Had them since March with no issues) started to lift at the base of the nail. This happened within a week and a half. My big toe polish chipped in about four days. This was before any type of yoga, working out, anything. I also have become very accustomed to the woman who typically does my pedicure is being very thorough with removing ingrown, excess skin, calluses, etc. I definitely found myself wanting more from the callous removal. However, when I most appreciated was the fact that I picked a color that didn't end up looking good on the nail, and my nail tech convinced me to get something better. I'm glad she did because I was super on the fence about it. Also, it's worth noting that this place was absolutely packed on Friday afternoon.

My nail tech was an older Asian lady. I came into this place last minute because my friend was…read moreNextdoor getting her hair done. let me start with the good before I get into the bad. my nail tech was very sweet, and willing to try different colors to allow me to see what it'd look like. i showed her a picture of what I wanted which was a French tip almond shape. she cut them too short the first time, and she soaked them off and started all over. which I appreciated. she was very sweet, and took criticism well. here's where my issues come in: as she was applying the acrylic, each finger nail burned SO BAD. I held it together and didn't say anything because I assumed it was from her soaking my nails, but when she got to the hand she didn't soak, it still hurt and that's when I realized it wasn't the soak. it hurt me soooooooo bad. but I held it in because I just needed my nails done. Even today the next day, each and every one of my nails hurt. I'm scared I will get contact dermatitis. After now reading other reviews, I notice in the pictures, that same hand that did my nails. And it looks like she's been there for years, so honestly in my opinion, if I were the owner, I'd fire her and help/hire a new nail tech graduate. They'd probably do better, and yall would probably have less bad reviews. The owner Lillian was very nice and had a calming aura. And I wish the best for her! If I were her I'd look into new hires, because for a black business owner, I want better for her shop.... Back to the review: She shaped my nails so horribly. they were uneven, the French tip itself was terrible, I could've done a better job if I did them myself ( which I have before).she left polish on the sides of my nails, the acrylic also was all over my fingers, and as well as my cuticles. I literally went home and took out my nail file to shape them evenly and more precise. I don't know if it's because I do my own nails sometimes, but I'm very precise on the shape and details. which I feel like what I asked for was very simple. she kept asking me what color I want for my base or for the chrome powder. but I just feel like that's her job to do. I guess I can appreciate it because then I can have exactly what I ask for. but I feel like that's the whole point of the picture. I also had to take the nail file myself and shape one of my nails because she ignored the fact that it was very uneven. which honestly I don't mind, and it wasn't a big deal; but at the end of the day I feel like I shouldn't have to do that. they also allowed a customer to walk in 45 minutes past their closing time and asked for a pedicure. cool, but the other nail tech asked her if that was fine with her, and she said yes, and after that everything seemed rushed. I felt like she started rushing to finish my nails. i go through phases where I do my own nails, and sometimes I go through phases where I prefer to just pay for the convenience of someone else doing them because it obviously takes longer when I do them on myself. I don't know, it just gave that she was maybe new to doing nails, because they looked how I used to do them when I first started. I understand it's a business and they need their money, but for an almond shaped French tip being $100 when they looked worse than I would've done, I was disappointed. by the time I was done and ready to pay, I honestly just shut up and paid the money and left because i had already been there much longer than I expected and was ready to do. and I also knew the chances of me going back there are probably 0%.I may have another instance where I go with my friend to get her hair done and I need my nails done close by again, but I'll probably just go to the nail shop across the street. Overall, everybody was very nice, and I probably could have spoken up and they would've taken it well, but like I said I was ready to just leave. but everyone that I interacted with was very nice to ME. although I will say, there were two nail techs who were talking poorly about a customer who had just left loud enough for everyone to hear which I thought was terrible customer service. I work in hospitality, and its fine to have those conversations with coworkers in private, but very unprofessional to do it infront of other guests. I could sense that the nail techs aside from the lady who did mine had their familiar regulars, so they probably do much better work, and have better rapport. but as a first timer, I was disappointed. so im just taking the time to write this for the owner/manager to simply be reminded to be mindful of the environment, and potentially give my nail tech some more practice. do I recommend? not personally. like I said, the other nail techs may do a better job than what I received so I won't speak on the whole staff. but the bad mouthing a customer after she left infront of everyone should probably be discussed and avoided.

I came at a time when it wasn't busy so I'm sure it played a part but she is very neat. She doesn't talk much, very quiet and professional (the way I prefer). Few things to note, 1. They need to replace that soggy couch in the front where people are waiting to be served. Sorry, I had to say it lol. 2. Overall the establishment is neat, but I do feel their sanitary practices could be a tad bit better like any other nail salon. 3. It's better to come in the morning, if possible. 4. I'm not a fan of the space used for massages. It's giving very much so storage space turned it to a lab room. I can't relax in there. Feels cranky and dingy. 5. There is one particular employee that loves wearing mini skirts and she is quite fashionable. I typically don't bother myself with what people choose to wear but when she has to bend down or squat to do your pedicure, best believe you will see her choice of underwear for that day. 6. My worst experience has been with the male nail techs. No bias here. But one burned my hand with the steam for the removal of the nail dip. Also the guys typically rush through the pedicure process and I feel like I don't get full experience.

I called at 1 PM and asked to schedule an appointment for 2 pedicures at 5 PM. The employee told me no problem please come at 5 then. Upon arriving the shop was bustling and busy but we waited after checking in. It took until 5:40 to be placed in a chair and then at 5:55 with my feet still soaking I asked how long would the pedicure take? They told me 45 min but I had to leave by 6:15-6:20 so I told them I'd have to go instead of getting my toes done. No one had set up. No one had spoken to me about the service. They put me in a chair and had my feet soaking when I said I needed to go. I promptly offered to pay for just the soak because I had a time constraint and had to go. It is now 6:05 and the service hasn't been started. Immediately the woman who owns the shop was rude and standoffish when I said I had to go, again I called about coming at 5 AND offered to pay for the soak. She just grunted and didn't respond then proceeded to loudly and obviously begin talking about me to her coworkers about my asking to leave (including pointing at me). Taking my feet out the soak I asked for a towel. She grabbed the used, dirty towel someone had just left on the next chair over then just threw it on the floor. DISGUSTING. I was happy to pay for the soak and come back the next day when I had time. Now I'll never be back. Dirty and rude. Highly recommend skipping out of coming here.
