I found this place on a search and loved all the positive reviews. It took over an old space that…read moreI had been to before, and it is conveniently located, so I gave it a whirl.
DEETS
Nicely decorated and clean. Lots of polish options & services and prices are clearly marked. Chairs are newer and comfortable.
They have a back area for waxing, Lashes, or massages.
My only qualms are that the online booking system is not the most user-friendly, and you have to pay upfront, so I called and made an appointment over the phone instead. They say they take walk-ins, but when I was there, they were all turned away due to them being fully booked, so resos are the way to go.
Also, my second visit here was to buy a gift cert as a present for my young neighbor, since I had such an amazing experience but the language barrier, which is to be expected, was a bit of an issue.
I had Katrina help me at the front desk, and she had no idea what I was talking about. The gentleman, Will Sun, whom I believe is the owner, had to stop and help, and he was very pleasant as super helpful but this meant that two customers were interrupted from their services due to the language barrier, and I felt awful about that, but sadly, Katrina clearly didn't understand me.
SERVICE:
I got a regular mani-pedi, yes, the old-fashioned way, lol, because me & my nailbeds do not tolerate any gel or powder very well.
I was blessed with Linda as my nail tech and she was absolutely amazing & deserving of five stars plus plus plus! This was the BEST polish job ever & I mean impeccable! I am a perfectionist and super picky and my nails have never looked so good EVER!
The only thing I didn't like was that they put an actual loud alarm timer on for the foot massage part, and while I get it, it sadly really took away from the whole experience in my opinion. Do it quietly so the customer isn't made to feel like it's so obligatory instead of the pampering treat that it really is.
I will definitely go back for round two with Linda and I am happily waiting to see what my neighbors think of the place.
As always, peeps, support your local small biz! Cheers!
