Went to this nail salon and had a terrible experience. The nail tech, Ben, told me I needed a…read morecompletely new set because my nails "weren't good," even though I had just gotten a brand-new full set. I showed him the design I wanted, but the finished result looked nothing like the picture I provided. To make matters worse, I was charged $90 for the set. Within two days, my nails were already chipping and developing black spots. After I returned from out of town, my fiancé went back to request a refund because of the poor quality of the work. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the salon refused to provide a refund and ended up calling the police. I paid good money expecting quality service and professional customer care, but unfortunately, I received neither. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality nail services.

I have been here once before but never wrote a review for it - but I wanted to get my nails done…read moretoday for a pride event tomorrow and didn't want to wait for a nail artist appointment I had on the 19th - so I went. Tee did the base of my manicure and pedicure and Tina did my design - I will say since it is a pride design, it has many colors and I feel like a lot of people in the salon were like omg so many colors - not in a bad way but just in general. But I think the service was great and pricing reasonable for what I got. Tee had to deal with my not great feet that are prone to ingrowns and thus have a lot of dead skin like underneath the corners - I kept apologizing and she was very kind. Lots of creams and a steamer for the pedi I got which was nice. I will say, I don't think I saw them open their tools for the pedicure from a sealed like bag, they just came from the back on a tray - though it's possible that they were just opened away from me. Tina was very kind and did my designs which were fairly...detailed I would say. When I had a want of more paint or more jewels, she did it without complaint - I am very quiet when I am in a nail salon personally - or at least I was in a quiet mode so I did feel bad for being silent but not much judgement from what I can tell. So many people are popping in and out and I would say I don't know how they manage all the clients they have with maybe like 6 people? But they do. My mani pedi took 1.5 hours for reference. I will update this as far as wear later on. I would say it was good quality service for the price and for a general nail salon - you may disagree if you are used to going to nail art specific people perhaps but that's my view. As far as vibes - super busy like I said - people come and talk to each other while they get services - not what I like to do personally but there's lots of that. Employees talk to themselves in their language but surprisingly quietly, I had no idea how they all heard each other. There are two big TVs they have generic shows and ads running on and general spa music. They also have a either ancestor altar, and or ancestor plate - I think that is what it is called though I am not certain - in the front. I thought it was a nice touch personally.

The only reason for four stars instead of five is the price I ended up paying $60 for a regular gel with just a $5 up charge for a special effect on my nails. That seems really expensive to me and also the chairs while really pretty are very impractical because you can't recline in them and for someone tall it makes for not as comfortable of an experience the entire time all I wanted to do was recline and I'm pregnant on top of it so it was a bit tough for me.

I was just about to leave when they finally were ready to help me. it was disappointing to agree to help them out by changing my appointment time and then be left sitting there, wasting my time. I had booked online with a tech who had great reviews but was given someone else. I decided to stay anyway. I paid extra for Dazzle Dry, which is peeling after 2 days. My previous Dazzle Dry manicure, done while on vacation, lasted 10 days without chipping because it was properly applied. I feel bad because the staff seems really sweet but based on reviews and my experience, results can be inconsistent.

I may have misunderstood what was possible, so the design wasn't quite what I had pictured, and one nail broke shortly after. They kindly called me back and redid them with a cat eye design, which I really loved. Unfortunately, within just a couple days, the new set also started breaking. Even after being fixed once for free, two more nails broke off in less than 3 days. For $80, I expected my nails to last much longer. I won't be returning, but I do really appreciate the staff's kindness and trying to fix it. And hope they can improve their technique.

I have received several services which I have not been happy with and the constant going back and forth for nail replacements have become exhausting. My nail never looked lovely or professionally done as they should have. Attached our pictures of the set of nails and the type of care I received. I have trusted these techs and their work and I have received nothing but disappointments. Although paying for the full gel service, I did not receive the quality of work that I should have. this has been a repetitive issue that I have finally decided to go to a different nail salon which ultimately took care of my needs above and beyond.

When I arrived, there was only one other customer in the salon getting a pedicure. I was told to have a seat and wait for my nail technician. When she came out from the back and sat down, she immediately got to work. Unfortunately, she wasn't very friendly or welcoming and didn't even say hello, which I think is a pretty basic part of customer service. I told her what I wanted, and she got started. She was strictly business, no small talk, no effort to make me feel comfortable, just work, work, work. In fact, it was probably the fastest manicure I've ever had. What surprised me most was that there were none of the finishing touches I've come to expect from a manicure. There was no hand rinse at the end to remove the nail dust and debris, no hand massage. She did ask if I wanted lotion or cuticle oil, but it felt more like an obligation than a genuine offer. Since my hands were still covered with filing dust, I declined the lotion and oil because I would have preferred to wash my hands first. The gel manicure itself turned out fine, but the overall experience felt rushed and impersonal. I paid and left without feeling like much care had been put into the customer experience. It's been about a month now and my nails have not chipped, they're still going so that's a plus.
