Lorenzo is the BEST!! He always does a great job on my nails. He came through for my Valentine's/Anniversary nails. I LOVE them . Request him you won't regret it. Thank you Lorenzo

Lorenzo is the best nail tech I've ever been to!! His attention to detail is amazing and I've never felt rushed or forced to like something with him. I can freely express how I want my nails to look without him getting annoyed like some other nail techs I've been to. He will make sure you're happy with your nails before you walk out the door. Super nice and friendly guy. Highly recommend getting your nails done by Lorenzo!!

I am very happy I found this little nail salon! I rarely treat myself to pedi-manis but I was feeling down so I figured - why not. I actually went to get my eyebrows threaded down the way first - which was also a stellar place! This little nail salon is not a big fancy place but it was clean. The pedi chairs were nice and worked amazing. They put plastic shields between guests and clean them as well. The who did my toes did an amazing job. Very nice French Tip. I feel bad that I did catch her name. But the lady "IVY" did an amazing job on my hands. The staff pushes gel so - I figured I would do it - the price seemed right. So glad I did. I keep getting compliments on my beautiful nails. Oddly enough, I went to eat a restaurant a couple days later and the waitress complimented on them. I looked at hers and her nails were as beautiful as mine. It turned out "IVY" did her nails too and she randomly stopped in on this place. My closing note 'new is nice, but quality is better!' Definitely worth stopping at those little businesses!

I love this place, I've gone here religiously for nearly ten years! I always get Lorenzo. He's the best nail tech. He doesn't mind my pickiness at all.

I went to get my nails done here and a made an appointment at 5 pm. To start off, they were behind and told me to wait. I waited 30 minutes before it was my turn. That wasn't a problem to me, so I just waited while looking at nail colors. That turned out to be pointless because they barely have a selection of nail colors available. Anyway, I finally chose a color and got my nails done. When the lady finished doing my nails, some of them were extremely crooked and unevenly matched in length. I didn't say anything because I knew I wouldn't come back and the lady was nice so I didn't want to upset her and stay even longer than I already had to get them fixed. It has been a week and now my light-blue colored nails have blotches of brown and black that appeared out of nowhere. Either the nail polish was really old and cheap or the UV Ray machine was trash. Either way, $30 down the drain. Do NOT go here if you actually expect a decent job done on your nails. Extremely disappointed and will never come here again.

Thank you Holly! Amazing Job! Definitely found a keeper!

Love Holly! She did an amazing job! I am so picky about my nails and been looking for someone that can shape my nails the perfect coffin and Holly was amazing! She listen to what I wanted and did an awesome job! She is my new go to girl! Thanks Holly! Awesome job on the hand painted design too! Great experience! Low pricing !!

I asked for coffin nails and they look straight. Idk for 33 dollars I feel like they weren't worth the price. If I look at my nails in the light it looks like my nails have cellulite. Update: so I figured out why my nails looked bumpy in the sun, because she didn't file them down and make them even enough. I had file them down myself and paint them white. I also asked for her to cut my cuticles which cost 5 extra. But she decided to cut them after she put the acrylics on so then it looked like my nails has already grown out because I had a lot of skin to be cut. I asked another nail salon and they said they're supposed to cut them before they start which is so annoying. These were literally the worst nails I've ever had.

This is my $23.00 French manicure

I am a regular customer I like how Ivy leaves my eyebrows and the pedicure is good, but I never like how my nails end

I have been trying out a few nail shops in the area since I moved here a few months ago and this has been the best place so far! I made it in right before a rush so it didn't take that long to do my nails. I'm super picky with my nails and I'm never happy with how they come out. However Mimi did a phenomenal job and had great attention to detail. This is now my new spot to go to. I couldn't be happier!!!

After trying several nail salons in the area, I finally found Ohana Nails, and I couldn't be…read morehappier! Every manicure and pedicure I've had there has been amazing. The owner and her family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. From my very first visit, they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy with my pedicure. Their attention to detail and genuine care really stood out. During that visit, I met one of their longtime customers who had nothing but wonderful things to say about the salon. She recommended that I try a dip powder manicure instead of gel, and I'm so glad I took her advice--I've been beyond happy with the results ever since! I've recommended Ohana Nails to everyone I know who lives nearby because they truly deserve the support. If you're looking for a nail salon with excellent service, beautiful work, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend Ohana Nails!

This salon was nice for a basic and cheap pedicure. If you're someone who isn't fancy about your…read morenails but just want a little pampering without breaking the bank, this is a good place to try. It's a bit more old-fashioned - instead of folders of colors to choose, you select from their wall of polishes, many of which looked old. They have lots of well-worn towels and mismatched decor, so it looks a little rundown. But the ladies were nice and efficient. I went with my teenage daughter who doesn't prefer cutting her cuticles, which they respected. But then didn't offer any massage or scrubs for her either, which I was surprised by. The lady who did my pedicure offered a really great massage and scrub. Overall, it's a great time if you're looking to save on the experience and lower your expectations compared to other salons. I'm not a fancy nail person and don't use gel polish, so I like it for what I'm looking for. Will be back!

Everyone is super nice and I've had nothing but great service here. Although I've seen some interesting reviews about the nails services, I just get my pedicures here. But I love the luxury atmosphere and amenities. You also receive 2 free drinks during your appointment! Alcohol or non alc which is a great value on its on! Thank you Alta nails! :)

I really had high hopes for this place like many others because the salon itself is gorgeous and…read morethey serve drinks, but the quality just wasn't there. I paid $100 for a gel mani/pedi. For my manicures, I always get three very thin coats and need the tips capped. The technician globbed on the first coat so heavily that I had to stop her at two. Just three days later, my nails started to chip, which makes me question if it was even real gel. On top of that, all of my nails have tiny bubbles or grinder debris/sand trapped in them, and my cuticles weren't even cut. My pedicure was fine, but the manicure was a complete waste. I am very busy and count on my gel nails lasting 3 weeks; this set needs to be completely redone in less than two. To make matters worse, while I was sitting there, the manager came up to my technician to show her pictures that another customer had just sent in complaining about their nails, too. The picture was full nail beds of polish coming off , and the lady who sat next to me had gotten dip the day before and they were thick on one side thin on the other . They take credit/debit but charge $2 , then they only take cash for tips and don't tell you that up front so you have to use their atm which charges $2 then another bank fee showed up on my statement. Not worth it .

However, I recently started going to Andy for my manicures, and his work has quickly become my favorite! Andy is an amazing nail tech and always has my nails looking beautiful. I usually get builder gel with cat eye, and my nails consistently last well over two to three weeks. I probably could go even longer between appointments, but I personally like keeping my nails looking fresh and maintained. I also receive compliments on my nails almost daily, including from complete strangers, which says a lot about the quality of Andy's work! He's very talented and pays attention to the little details, and I always leave happy with how my nails look. Overall, I've had mostly good experiences at this salon, but Andy is definitely my favorite nail tech. If you're looking for someone who does beautiful, long-lasting work, I highly recommend booking with him!
