I recently got a gel manicure here and unfortunately I wasn't pleased with how my nails turned out. I noticed that my nail tech seemed new to doing nails, which doesn't always mean the service will be bad! everyone has to start somewhere. However, I left with my nails filed down to the point where they were very short and sensitive, and the shaping was uneven. The gel polish application also wasn't consistent. I chose a red color and there were sheer spots where you could see through the polish. It also wasn't applied close to the cuticle, and there was cured gel left on parts of my nails, which made the application look messy. I still paid and tipped because the technician was kind, but unfortunately this was my second time visiting and I wasn't impressed with the service either time. I unfortunately will not be returning. Hope this feedback helps. read more

Used a class pass reservation to try out a new spa and i was not disappointed! Very friendly service, tidy shop with lots of color choices. Disposable liners for the pedicure which i always appreciate. The regular pedicure is very nice and compared to some other spots i've been to , felt like a deluxe. Staff is very pleasant and gentle ! Offered a drink which was lovely , delicious coffee. Will definitely be back for a manicure and all my pedicure needs . This spa seems to value customers in a genuine manner . 10/10 recommend . thank you, Jacqueline. read more

I had such a great experience at this nail salon! From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately made me feel comfortable. The staff truly take their time and pay attention to the little details -- they didn't rush anything and made sure every part of my nails looked perfect before I left. They consistently checked in to make sure I liked the shape, color, and overall look, which I really appreciated. You can tell they genuinely care about their work and about their clients having a good experience, not just getting people in and out. The salon itself was clean, relaxing, and had a really positive atmosphere. Overall, I'm super happy with how my nails turned out and with the service I received. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality work and kind, attentive staff! read more

I called in advance to schedule 3 pedicures because other spas would not take me as they didn't have enough room. once we arrived, they proceeded to race me and my friend into a chair and made the third one of us wait while they gave us the most rushed pedicure i have ever witnessed. i'm talking filing my nails AS he's painting and didn't even cut my nails even though i asked?? i think he sort of prepped my nails for MAYBE 5 minutes and then set my nails for like ten seconds each layer of gel. also the water was burning me and i told them that and they took multiple minutes to fix it. maybe 15 minutes later my nails were done and they charged me SIXTY DOLLARS. there's no way. insane. do not come here. respect to the other salon that just told me they couldn't take us rather than completely ripping us off for profit. i think the female workers seemed to be taking their time so maybe ask for one of them if all else fails and you must come here. read more

Hannah did such an amazing job on my full set! I'm so happy with my nails but I knocked down the review a star just because it was quite expensive.. ($80 for gel & chrome nails/ $62 for gel pedicure) I also got a gel pedicure and it was good but not worth the price, but Bao was very nice! read more

I was recommended this nail salon by a coworker. I had an appointment at 1:30pm, arrived at 1:20pm, and didn't get seated until 2:05pm for someone to then work on my nails at 2:15pm. The male technician aggressively took off the previous gel off of my nails, then proceeded to tell me my nails were really weak but that I can have the round shape that I had asked for (after he was done filing my nails, you can see in the photo, they were square shaped). Once completing the appointment, I went out to dinner and while I was getting ready for bed noticed a chemical smell. The gel on my thumb nail had not cured correctly (this has never happened to be in the years of doing gel nail polish) and was oozing out of the nail gel shell. The next morning I called to get it fixed and the lady told me that I could only come in at 3pm to which I arrived at 3:05pm. The male technician said he had to come in on his day off to fix my nail. He said that my nails are too weak to have gel nail polish, even said that his coworker confirmed it, but he said proceeded to do them anyways. He told me the reason why the gel did not cure correctly on the ONE nail is because of how I had inserted my hand into the UV machine, though I have not had an issue in my previous experiences. Eleven days later and now two other gel nails have chipped. I will not be going back to this salon. Other salons provide at least a two-week guarantee but this is disappointing given how they treat their customers and terrible customer service. read more

I called to ask before my appointment if they had someone that could do intricate designs and they said yes. I went in at 4:30 for a mani pedi, and I was still sitting in the chair getting my nails done at 8 pm. The nails looked very cheap, even though they costed $135. The nails were put on poorly and the design was not well done. My pinky nail looked like it was taking off into space. Worst set of nails I've ever had. read more

This is my favorite salon. If you have time to treat yourself this is the best salon this is it!!! My girl Hana is an amazing nail technician. She is meticulous with her work, lovely conversation, creative ideas and above all is kind-hearted and talented. Everyone who works here is funny and great at what they do. I get my pedicures by her husband Bao; they are a power couple. Getting your nails done is a treat so don't go in if you're in a rush, but ready to relax (they give great leg massages). The other clients at the salon have always been kind as well and the vibe is great all around. These are my new acrylic nails with dip, they also do gel and will be honest with you if your nails need a break. I highly recommend this salon and everyone who works there! read more

This place is amazing! I wanted to try out a new nail salon since the last one I went to was too expensive for the quality of service they provided (e.g., they gave me acrylic with gel painted on it when I asked for gel-x). Hana was super nice and had great attention to detail. I asked for gel-x and actually got it! I am so pleased with how my nails turned out as they were exactly like the inspo pic I showed Hana. I will be going back here soon. The vibe, the quality, et cetera were all amazing. read more

Did my Gel manicure in about 35 minutes. Super fast and friendly staff. I got a simple black gel manicure and it looked okay. I had some hang nails on my skin and to compensate the nail tech decided to not paint all the way to my cuticles which I understand but it made it look like my nails look like they were grown out with the application. Definitely worth coming here for a quick gel manicure if you're in a time crunch! read more

I've come here a couple times and I've always liked anybody that has done my nails. I didn't quite get the woman's name that did my acrylics, but she's on station five. This is my second time having her do my nails because I always do a walk in appointment, and I tried to let her know I didn't want my nails as thick as she made them last time because they were very uneven and did not look as nice as the others ladies. And honest to God they came out way worse. She also takes FOREVER to do nails and it's not even quality nails. I'm not one to ask for a refund, because they I received a service. But I really wasted $60 on ugly nails for my birthday.... Extremely upset read more

Had a wonderful experience today. Jenni does the best pedicures, includes foot scrub, hot rocks, leg and foot massage and warm clay treatment. So relaxing. Then Cindy for a gel manicure, includes warm hand soak, gel polish, oil and lotion wrist and hand massage. I bring in a picture I like from Pinterest and she puts her own spin on it. I love this nail salon. Highly recommend it. Everyone in there is so nice. read more

Decided to get acrylics and was able to snag an appointment here same day when I called! Upon walking in I was welcomed by someone and was offered their color selection they offer, super friendly staff! Jenny did my nails and was the sweetest person, she was just as excited to get my nails done as I was and it was such a lovely experience to have after having a rough morning. I requested a specific design and she was more than happy to oblige as well! So happy with my nails and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend getting an appointment ahead of time as the place was super busy when I came in, pretty sure I got super lucky with the same day appointment!

They're very understaffed. They take you in saying they have time yet they don't. Don't waste my time if you can't take on another customer.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! My friend and I did a walk in for a pedicure and manicure, and they weren't as busy, but we were seated right away. My nail tech was Jenny, she did both my nails and toes. Jenny takes her time perfecting and satisfying customers nails, and she's also so sweet! Definitely a great experience and will come back again! My total was $114 with a $18 tip, which isn't too bad because I expected it to cost more. read more
