Had a botched job done elsewhere that was supposably "cateye" but was just a straight line of glitter. So I kept searching on yelp for a good nail place and stumbled across Leah's salon. I went in and Leah saved the day! She did such an amazing job from shortening the length to making them slimmer and doing an amazing job with the Cateye! 10/10 for sure, I am absolutely happy with her work definitely returning
In love! I had some botched job somewhere else and thankfully Leah came to the rescue, reshaped and redid the design. Super patient and gentle when doing your nails! 100% will come here again even.
I recommend Leah's salon, I don't get my nails done as often. But when I have, I always come here. I call ahead of time to double check if they are taking walk ins and they always take me as soon as I get there. I don't get anything fancy just a manicure and always satisfied with the outcome. The simplest things can also turn out ugly but not for me. I went today in the morning and it was a full house and the lady that helped me was really nice and cleaned up my nails beautifully.
Don't come here if you're looking to get Polygel, because they don't know how to correctly apply it. This is the 2nd time I have come in where the nail tech got upset that I brought up concerns about how the Polygel application looked like and told me to wait until the end. I've gotten Polygel before and know how the process goes, so each time it gets to the end she can no longer fix what I had asked for in the beginning :( I gave the same nail tech another chance thinking it'd be better, but it turned out even worse than the first time I got Polygel with her. The layers are uneven and my fingers got burned with the machine she was using. But what was truly disappointing was how they treat their customers.
Very very small location. But I was happy to be able to walk in and get taken care of right away. The staff was very friendly. I think there were about maybe five staff members working this day. I want to say there about four pedicure chairs and I think three desks For nail tech, and then the little counter that you paid when finished. I really liked how my nails were done through the whole process, especially having shellac over my own. I did not feel as though my nail bed was being destroyed from taking off the previous color. at the end, there was a quick but nice hand and arm massage after. But if you're looking for someplace not as crowded and friendly and you're not too far from the area, try them out see what you think overall, my service, for my gel manicure was $35.
This shop is awesome, Leah is amazing, and they have a great atmosphere. You can tell the community loves them. I went in as a walk in and they sat me fast, I didn't catch the lady's name who did my pedicure, but she was really sweet and did a great job, and then I was also really lucky to get Leah as my nail tech that day and of course she did my nails so bomb!! Great community nail shop.

Went in on a Wednesday at 5:36pm. Waited until 6:23pm for someone. Everyone was busy. That's usually a good sign. I've been here before a long time ago and 7 months ago to get nails done the day before my birthday. When I got my nails done the day before my birthday (which was also a week before my due date), my nails looked good inside the salon, but when I got to my car to send pics and videos, they looked bad. I went back in and they fixed them. Only issue was a few nails were filed so thinly because she had to redo them. Otherwise, they looked much better. I got my nails done 2 days ago, and I was pressed on time. I have a 6 month old, and my timeline was to get my mani/pedi done before my husband came home with a hungry baby since I'm breastfeeding. Well, the wait was too long, so I switch it to just getting my mani/have them fix 2 broken nails. Everything turned out decent in the amount of time I was there. It was $25 plus tip to do my cuticles, cut and shape my nails and "fix" the 2 nails. One day later, my broken nail was still jacked up on the side but had some protection on the rest of the nail. I don't really have time to go back before we leave on a trip, so that's why I'm rating them a 2 star. If it was as done correctly the first time (both times), I wouldn't need to go back. It's fine though because I have everything I need to fix it myself at home. I just didn't want to have to do it at home. This place is fine since it's cheap, but it's a reminder that you get what you pay for. read more

I had a disappointing experience here. I arrived at 9:00 AM, but the shop didn't open until about 9:15 AM. During my service, the technician was on her phone most of the time, made me wait while she used it, and even answered a personal call while working on my toes. Very unprofessional. As a paying customer, I expect basic courtesy, attention, and professionalism, but that was clearly lacking. I would not recommend this place and hope management improves their customer service. read more

I just had a pedicure and this is how my toe looked like 2 hours later. I could tell the lady (I should've gotten her name) didn't know what she's doing, as I had to tell her to fix her work! I wouldn't recommend going here read more

Her staff, is always nice, sweet, and also do great work!! A definite recommendation!! read more
Not sure what has happened over time, but I regret to lower the rating of my initial review. The quality of the nail jobs have decreased for the folks who are not Leah. I went earlier today and asked to remove my gel manicure and get a clear floral design but my nail person kept pushing on some other thing. When I reminded her that I only wanted a regular clear nail polish, the job was done poorly. And, she didn't even give a good arm massage. I mean, it was $20 so whatever. But not sure if I'll come back now... read more

Everyone is really nice and they get the job done just the way you like. Gave them a lower review, minus one because he has told me plenty of times that you can't set up an appointment but yet other girls have appointments and Leah is always booked until 5 -.- I don't get it. Minus another star because I walked in since you couldn't do appointments just for him to tell me I can make an appointment just not same day. If he would of told me that over the phone I would of had saved that trip! Mind you I've been here plenty of times for other services and he is always writing girls names down, yet telling me I can't make an appointment. Well I just won't come back. read more

Always 100% satisfied! It's hard to trust a good nail technician. Leah always gets it right! My nails are perfect! The quality is great! I don't have to request anyone in specific for my pedi because all the ladies do an amazing job! Happy and satisfied! read more

The most perfect work I've ever got was here. I haven't been to a shop where they're both quick and perfectionists before I found Leah. Leah is so talented at acrylics, she can complete a fill with French tip in 50 mins. And her shape is never off. She even does the extra details. For pedicures if I need ingrowns cut I never have to ask they just do it and the ladies are also experts at it. Leah always does my nails and today Ana did my pedicure. You can get an appt as early as the day before or come in during slower hours like I do which is weekdays before 2pm. I got a fill with French tip, pedi + gel + callus removal all for $85. read more

Not impressed. The shop is cramped and a bit outdated. It certainly doesn't look like the pictures posted! It is hard for employees to speak as you enter b/c half of their backs face the door. A cluttered counter blocks the right side and customer chairs are to the left and right in front of you. There's a dark, creepy office behind the cluttered counter. I assume it was the owner who sat watching tv, a computer, or watching every employee's movement through the over-abundance of video cameras. Lol! Nail polish bottles look old. They are hard to access as they are randomly placed. There's a small rack on the back and side walls. A spa chair and nail table blocked the back so I couldn't reaxh that wall. I had to maneuver around more nail tables and a customer as he sat being serviced. Ridiculous! My pedicure = thumbs down. The technician smiled, asked if I wanted the bottom of my feet scrubbed, then wrapped one with callus remover lotion and seran wrap. No biggie. I can pay the extra few dollars. But playing dumb when you speak English well doesn't work for me! One toe was sloppily painted. I asked the technician to fix it. Instead of removing the streaky polish and starting over, she added more layers. While waiting, an African-American man finished getting a manicure and paid his bill. He was very respectful and well dressed. The ladies couldn't wait for him to walk past the threshold before they spoke thwir language and laughed. Hard! Me and another young lady looked at each other while I shook my head. I'm sure this is common practice for many technicians, even while customers are present. When it's obvious, though, I will not continue to give a business my money. The owner(?) was friendly as I paid my bill. However, the need to ask me if I'd be back in two weeks and standing there waiting on my response seemed like a sign of desperation. I'm good. Back to my usual shop... read more

Do they have regular traditional nail pedicures with no massage chairs?
No. All of the pedicure ones are done while on a massage chair.
Can they cut ingrown toenails good?
Very well! A month and a half ago I came there with an ingrown toe nail and after coming back a couple times, my toe is now healed. It hurt so much when she was getting in there but now... No more ingrown and it's much cleaner!!!
How much do you charge for a fill with matte gel polish?
$58 for new set including manicure with gel and design and a pedi with callus removal.
How much do they charge for a Gel Mani?
I pay $40 for gel manicure & pedicure. Thank tip them. The prices can vary depending on how long you want the massage and certain regular/ express/deluxe specials. They will…
