I forgot who did my manicure but she was constantly on her phone, rude, didn't cure my nails properly, and filed too much after the manicure because I already have small chips after less than a week. I'm pretty upset given that my last mani lasted over 4 weeks. I don't think I'll be back.

Now for the actual nail review. Shannen is the first nail artist I've ever been to and this is the second time she has done my nails. She was super kind with telling me the difference between all her services (she offers many different types that I got overwhelmed coz again, I'm new to this). She is also a perfectionist with her nail art which I appreciate. She makes sure that the details are on point and if they aren't, she isn't gonna half ass it and shrug it off. She will fix it even if it means she has to do it again. I really really recommend her. She is very talented. The service is also super great. She's personable plus her place is so cute :D the vibes is vibing

I'm used to having gel nails, and was open to trying something new here. Renee was my nail technician, and she suggested that we try powder that you dip your nail into. She had to file down my nails, which I'm used to but she did it so much that one of my fingers is bleeding, and the other two are extremely sore. In the middle of the appointment, she said that I didn't like her since I had walked in, and that I was judging her. I was completely taken aback and not sure how to respond and asked her to please finish. She didn't like the way it was turning out, so I had to soak my nails and she filed off all that she had done. As we restarted with more dipping powder, she had to continually read the instructions. I wish I had known that she was incompetent and I would never have come here. My nails are uneven, bumpy, shaggy, too short and painful now. I will never come back here and I'm really disappointed in this entire experience. I do not recommend this nail salon, and I will not be back.

The ambiance is relaxing, with fish tanks and water fountain features the massage chairs are new and work so good, to leave me calm and relaxed, absolutely amazing!! My favorite is they play spa music and Food Network or other non commercial home remodel /travel, or interesting nature, calming things on the TV's NO news!! I also love that they don't sit around and chatter to each-other so it's just a calm inviting vibe, that I've never felt anywhere else. It feels like a family vibe so welcoming. All who work there are so great! I followed Anh & Dana there when my fave salon they were at for years, closed due to the building sold. Kevin and Kim, the owners are absolutely wonderful and good people. That's why I'm sure the salon vide is is so relaxing and great. Everyone enjoys working there, not like other salons! I would recommend you call to make an appt, they do walk-ins but us regulars book appts and it's better than waiting around. They are closed on Sundays which shows me that they value family and their team who work so hard! They all deserve a Sunday off with family:) I recently moved and my hands/nails were so bad, I didn't think they could be normal again! Anh made them look beautiful and clean Only con is parking, the lot isn't big so, I always just park down one of the side streets and walk, it's a good way to get your steps in:) before you go sit and be pampered. Just allow extra time in your schedule for walking to make it to your appt on time. Enjoy!!

Before coming in, I called to ask if I could arrive at 12:15, but they told me they were too busy and that I needed to be there at noon. I arrived around 12:05, and as soon as I walked in, two employees told me they couldn't take me and suggested I come back another day. After I reminded them that I had an appointment, they asked what kind of nails I wanted. When I said I hadn't decided yet, they told me they didn't have time for long nails. I said I was happy to do short nails instead, and only then did they agree to see me. Once I sat down, I was told I couldn't use the same color for my manicure and pedicure because they didn't want to share the same bottle between technicians, so I had to choose a different color for my toes. Then I asked for my usual dip manicure and was told they only had time for gel. When I asked about dip, I was told they had already informed me of that, which they hadn't. If the type of manicure affected scheduling, someone should have asked when I booked the appointment or when I called before coming in. Instead, I felt like I was being treated as the inconvenience, despite having an appointment and being a longtime customer. I ended up skipping my manicure altogether and left feeling disappointed. After years of coming here, this experience was enough that I won't be returning.
