The place itself is small and cozy but in no way dingy or unclean--the space smells beautiful, looks beautiful (cute decor, bright lighting) and is very well organized. Doesn't have the chaos of a lot of other nail salons and definitely feels a cut above the rest. This place sets a new bar of what a 5-star gel manicure means to me. Helena is masterful in her work and gave me the most beautiful bubblegum/glossy pink, your-nail-but-better look. She was thorough and warm yet efficient, and the end result was perfect. She told me she guarantees her work up to 2 weeks and I think that's a great testament to how amazing her quality is. This was my first time here and it definitely won't be my last.

Also, I always ask for square in which I get rounded square. At this point I'm convinced ppl are just going to do what they want despite what you ask. I was seen right away, it's a cute shop. Tons of polish colors to choose from. Nancy did my nails and she was so nice and she did hear me out. I have big nail beds so some nail techs never paint my whole nail. When I told her she was happy to fix it and was cool about it. They don't take tips on the card which I felt bad about, cause I wanted to tip her. I even asked that they charge me more but they don't do that. I wasn't going to pay 5$ to take cash out to tip her tho, but they have an ATM. I do have to say this woman was in there getting a pedicure that not only looked really good but smelled nice too. Her nails looked nice too but they appeared to be acrylics. I got a gel manicure, that could be the difference. The massage chairs look incredible. Let's see how this manicure sets, I'm willing to give it another go.

Not only will you leave…read morewith perfect nails, but you will have a wonderful human connection, and feel like you made a sincere new friend. So many times I go into a nail salon, nails a mess (hello! that's why I'm there!) and the person makes me feel ashamed of them telling me I need to take better care of my nails. Shannon, instead, sympathized with the stress of a busy life and told me she'd take care of me. It was a great experience all around. Also, if all that is not enough, consider supporting this nail boutique because she shuts down her shop every Thursday (and foregoes all her profits for an entire business day) to do the nails for the Ronald McDonald house patients and families. When you go here you get a fair-priced, amazing manicure, a new sweet friend, AND an opportunity to support a charity! An easy sell if you ask me.

This is a cute and clean boutique nail salon with only a few chairs. While I really want to rate…read morethis salon higher, the quality is just not there. I went in for a gel mani and regular pedi. The attention to detail for manicure is minimal, very little cuticle work and nail shaping, color not applied on the entire nail, and my gel started to lift and pill off in less than a week. My pedi was completely ruined after putting on shoes 3hrs after my appointment as there is no drying device; the owner did offer to fix it a day later but that was my wedding day which I had told her the day before, so clearly wouldn't have been possible. Having both mani/pedi done in 1hr is great, but that shouldn't come at the expense of quality.

A tech that helped me with my nails, she was not well trained on the products which was Dazzle dry polishes though they also used in their salon and on top of that a cashier who is probably an owner that knowledgeable about the product but was talking rudely to me and raising his voice at me.
