Unfortunately, this was my second disappointing experience, and this time was much worse. I noticed right after I left that my nails didn't look great, but I definitely didn't expect them to start chipping the same day. The gel was already missing on two nails, and one nail that was broken when I came in was just filed down with gel applied over it instead of being properly repaired. It broke again shortly after. After only a week, I ended up going back to my regular nail salon to have the entire gel manicure redone because the quality just wasn't there. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I was really disappointed, especially after giving this salon a second chance. I was hoping to find a great local spot, but unfortunately this wasn't it. Not worth it. Unsure how they have great reviews.

The first time I came, they accommodated me since I came in near closing hours on a weekday. The female worker who answers phone calls in the front and also work on customers, were already gossiping about me with another coworker who was doing my pedicure. I came back the second time only because I like the gel polish color they had. However, I truly regret coming back. That same female worker who works in the front, receiving clients' phone calls, spoke very badly about me. I can understand Vietnamese very well, and the whole time she gossiped to the lady who did my pedicure about how fake I look, if my breasts are real, how weak my appearance is. It was extremely hurtful, but I held back the tears until I got home. Not only did they bad-mouth me to their other co-workers, but they were also speaking poorly of other customers who seemed to be their returning clients, referring to them as "cunts" or "witches." Please, please avoid coming to this awful place. Their quality of work is not great either. Her gel acrylic work is subpar, and the nails on my left hand were shorter than on my right, so I had to file them down at home. The lady who did my gel pedicure the second time made my left toe bleed. She also used her fists to pound my calves very strongly, which was not pleasant and felt painful. The workers here are very rude, mean, and unkind humans. Please do not waste your money and business here.

After many futile attempts at finding a nail tech that would not only deliver top-notch results but…read morewould also be personable and customer-forward, I'm so happy to say that I've finally found one that checks off both boxes and more. I scheduled an appointment for an acrylic fill with Katie from the recommendation of another staff member over the phone, and am so glad that I did as Katie nailed ;) the design I was going for. I typically experience slight annoyance from nail techs when I bring in inspiration photos that involve a plethora of colors, but Katie was extremely accommodating and was determined to deliver on the design that I had showed her. There were plenty of colors to choose from, and she was kind enough to assist in my color selection when I had trouble finding one of the shades that I wasn't able to locate on the wall. Throughout my service, Katie was not only personable but also extremely diligent and meticulous. After a horrendous experience at the last nail studio that I had visited, I was terrified of the drill and cuticle trimming process, but Katie was very gentle and paid considerable attention to every part of my nail. When it came to the shaping and filing process, she was exceptionally meticulous and made sure to perform a side-by-side comparison of each nail to ensure that that they were uniform in both length and shape. Once she got to the design portion, she was very detail-oriented and took the time to ensure that it was perfectly executed. Needless to say, I'm extremely satisfied with my nails and the level of service that I received. Katie not only perfectly achieved the design that I had wanted but also delivered exceptional service that was both personable and professional. I highly recommend Katie, and will 100% come back for her artistry the next time I get my nails done.

Within only three days, several nails had chipped and peeled badly, leaving them uneven and unfinished. The photo shows how they looked after just three days. I contacted the salon and asked to have the problem corrected by a different nail technician because I was not comfortable returning to the same person. I was told my only option was a redo with the original technician. That did not feel like a reasonable solution after the initial service failed so quickly. I gave the salon an opportunity to make things right before posting this review. I wasn't asking for anything excessive just to have the work properly corrected by someone else. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to accommodate that request.

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.

I paid for a hard gel removal and manicure with IBX treatment, but the removal was painful enough that I had to repeatedly ask the technician to stop and adjust. Within an hour of leaving, two nails snapped, several chipped, and my index nail split in layers near the nail bed. I also had warmth and sensitivity around my thumb nail beds and red, tender cuticles on both ring fingers. The salon did take steps to rectify the situation when I reached out, which I appreciate. However, based on my experience, I would be cautious about getting hard gel removed here and would recommend going elsewhere for that service.

Early experiences were wonderful - I had a great manicure and pedicure. I rebooked while paying,…read moreand let them know both appointments (separate days) were timed before a trip I'd be taking. So before my next manicure (scheduled for a Friday) on Monday (5 days before) I got a text saying the technician I booked is no longer there and nobody could take me until the following Tuesday, and that this is a newer technician that would take longer than the scheduled time (already like 90-120 minutes!!). Sounds insane for a nail salon not to schedule me for over a week! I was leaving town by Tuesday so to not have something sooner was nuts, I opted to try having these nails removed and a normal gel manicure but when I showed up I was told "we don't actually use normal gel polish so it will last maybe one week". Another wild moment. So we went with some weird hybrid approach of just shortened nails which honestly look terrible and are crazy thick. But let's table that, the next day I was scheduled for my pedicure, on Saturday. Saturday at 7am I get a text, now the nail tech that does pedicures is sick, once again I can't be seen until TUESDAY, the day I'm out of the country . But don't worry, I was offered $25 off a future visit. I let her know that was offensive, I was ripped off enough, this place is obviously falling apart. It's sadly a sinking ship. They used to treat you with a silly drink and snack. Last time I went nobody was working the front so I didn't even get that, and I just got janky overpriced trashy nails. Horrible. So sad
