I love Moon Nails! Tony and the entire staff are amazing as always. They did my nieces nails for her play and they are beautiful.

love the quality and she is always on point on what I am asking for. If your looking for a relaxing place to get services done.

Positive experience by Lisa who did my pedicure. Rachel on manicure at the same time. All good.

Got me in same day and took great care of me, super patient as I took a long time to decide what I wanted. Ashley did a great job with my French tips!

Cannot recommend enough! I have seen Te twice for gel and dip, and both times I received the neatest, gentlest, most thorough manicure. I have a lot of hangnails and dry skin and she took it upon herself to clean up every one. And the polish itself was done perfectly! The attached photo is two weeks after my dip service and my nails look as good as the day I got them. So happy to have discovered Moon Nails!!

Favorite place to get my nails done especially at Christmas. Amazing nail artist (Nina is her name I think) created exactly what I wanted.

Trúc J.

Had my nails done before Christmas and it's still lasted until now Staff were very friendly and caring as well. Loved the service and the quality I got from Moon Nails, will come back for sure!

Nail tech cuts my skin. Blood streak on the nails.

*******BEWARE***** TOOK 4 PEOPLE- 2 guys and 2 Girls to do my nails. THE OLDER LADY. Please do not think negative, you are there to work and people are paying for the service. Very UNPROFESSIONAL- the older lady was talking negative in Vietnamese in front of other nail techs + customers. She spoke about how I did not know how to come in for a fill on my nails... I am Vietnamese and I understood what was said. When she cut me with the nail drill, she continued to paint over my blood with the nail polish brush. In the photo you can see my blood in the nail. All four nail techs that worked on my nails saw the blood. She painted over my nail that was BLEEDING. Contaminating tools and nail polish bottles. The other two nail technicians had to clean up the first lady's work. They were both drilling down the rock hard glue from under the nails that was glued on from the acrylic full set. Really horrible service and job from the first older lady. The older lady I was paired with kept saying negative comments about me, my knowledge, and my nails. I am here to get my nails done. I'm not there to be criticized, nor am I there to get cut by a licensed nail tech. As a first and last customer, I will not be returning here. Please do better.

I have a habit of biting/picking at my natural nails so I usually avoid nail salons. With a wedding to attend tomorrow, I wanted to get a full set to clean up my nails but also look as natural as possible. I told Tony that and he advised the dip powder would work best and helped me shape them so they looked natural but very appealing on my chubby fingers. They even chose a natural pink color (which choosing color is the hardest part for me) and i could not be happier. Also, they are very reasonably priced. Definitely the most friendly (and judgment free) nail salon I have ever been to and will be back. read more

Okay, where to start?! A friend brought me to Tony around a decade ago. He is the real deal. He cares so much about the cleanliness, artistry and customer experience. I was beyond thrilled to follow him on his endeavor to opening Moon Nails. I love it here. So fresh, clean and an inviting space. No overwhelming chemical smell. Always spotless. Reasonably priced, professional staff, kind treatment and great nails- every single time. I encourage you to try it here. PS: Tony's foot massages! You haven't experienced one like it! read more

Never had a pedicure and had several people two men they really enjoy the massage pet and paraffin wax. So, I said what the neck and felt like treating myself for the holidays. Looked for a free places on Yelp and even though this page only had a 3 star average it was close and were able to squeeze me in on a walk-in the day before Christmas. Every other place I called was at least a 2 - 3 wait. I just happened to walk in here and ask and they were able to accommodate. It must have just been the timing as I only waited about 10 minutes. First of all, why didn't anyone tell me the massage chairs in nail salons are so awesome? Serially, you can adjust them every which way and then the modes are fantastic. First they hand you a menu. Prices start at $22 but you can add all kind of options. They also have packages. Who knew there were so many options. Sea salt, paraffin, oil, mask, I figured, what the neck let's get the works. It was over an hour of pampering. First the foot soak, then they put some cuticle oil on to soften up all that stuff they get off, then they clip the nails, clean the cuticles, exfoliate, & clean. Next time I'll know to wear shorts, hiking long pants up was a drag. Once you're all cleaned and exfoliate, the sea salt massage goes up to your knee. Then the mask goes on and they massage that in. Once the mask was done they get a plastic bag, fill it with warm paraffin wax and you stick each foot in a bag. Then they massage the wax in until it hardens. It felt amazing. My feet were tingling. Once the wax comes off they finish cleaning it off and apply some finishing oil. I opted not to get any color or clear so I was on my way. My feet were so soft and felt amazing. I can't believe I waited decades to get a pedicure. I'll go treat myself again for sure. Thanks Anna, I'll be back. read more

Seemingly clean nail salon with friendly staff. However, there were a few miss steps. Even though I had made an appointment for a manicure & pedicure, I still had to wait 20 minutes. I asked for the royal mani and royal pedi. The technician started first on my pedicure. When I showed her a picture of the style of French tip I wanted, she said ok and continued. Then another technician started my manicure and seemed perturbed that I wanted the royal manicure. She started aggressively handling mg hands in a massive rush and also was reprimanding the technician doing my pedicure for taking too long. I wish she would have focused more on my manicure because she ended up clipping my cuticles too bluntly and made me bleed on two of my fingers. With regards to the pedicure, the technician seemed very meticulous and cautious. She was not comfortable giving me the French pedicure I wanted so I was passed on to another technician who did not follow anything from the original picture. I ended up with a very haphazard design using apricot colored polish that a small child could have done. Comically, the polish started chipping the very next day. I don't think I'll be returning here. Again, very friendly and sweet staff. Just not the salon for me read more

Horrible. I REGRET COMING HERE SO MUCH. By far the worst nail place I've EVER gone to. They took two hours and a half to do this. They came out chunky and uneven and I paid $91!! Lol this place is a joke. Don't waste your time. I came because it was the only place available for a manicure but I just waisted my time and money. I called her to let her know that it's already peeling and chipping and she hung up on me!!! So rude horrible customer service and service. These pictures were taken leas then 24 hrs after I got them done. The ones in the car were taken immediately after. The worst nail place I've ever gone to. read more

I gave up, called the next day and made the appts with a receptionist. She seemed confused as she was booking the appointments and I had to repeat the time I asked for multiple times to her. We confirmed everything twice by the end of the call. When we arrived for our appointments, they said they only had one appt on the books and could not accommodate another. The receptionist questioned whether I had actually made the two appts. and wanted to know who I spoke with. They were more accusatory than helpful. The receptionist stared at us blankly as she could not think of any other options to accommodate. It was not the experience I expected when talking with the person who made the appts. Now that I've read more reviews, I can see I'm not the only person who has problems with their scheduling in general. I had just wanted to spend a nice and relaxing day for my daughter and I, but it felt stressful right off the bat. Luckily the nail salon at the forum could take us, even if we didn't get drinks.

Apparently you can't give zero stars but if you could I would have. DO NOT GO HERE! I used to get acrylics ALL the time. I took a break for a couple years because my nails had started to grow a fungus so I was told I needed to stop for a little. I was getting my tires done at Evans Tire next door and this place was open so I decided to treat myself to a full set and a pedi. As I mentioned earlier I've had acrylics done probably about 100-200 times prior to this and this was the WORST job I've ever had. First they did my pedi at the table while I was having the full set put on, I don't usually like this but did not feel like saying anything so I let them do it. The lady that did my pedi, well lets just say I could paint my own toe nails better, there is paint all along the sides of my nails. One of my biggest pet peeves when I get my nails done is when there is paint along the sides of the nail. I mean I am getting a professional job so it might as well look professional right? I let this go. After the lady had finished shaping my acrylics she asked me to take a look at them and see if she needed to do anything else. I looked and I really don't like when they glob the acrylic on super thick, it makes it look un-natural and is a lot more difficult to maneuver with so I asked her to sand them down a little more. She gave me grief about it saying if I broke a nail its not her fault... I'd had every nail person in the past sand my nails down no questions asked and no side notes or disclaimers saying if I broke them it's not their fault. I knew I would be fine so asked her to sand them anyway. Again the paint job on my acrylics left paint along the sides of my nails. What pushed my last button about this place is when I got home I looked at the pinky of my left hand and there was BLOOD, yes BLOOD all along the under part of my nail and on the sides. I was like what the heck. I inspected my finger and she cut my cuticle, the side of my finger and under my nail. This was the last straw. I went back to request a credit or something as I not only paid $60 for the acrylics and the pedi but I tippped them $20. No credit was offered, she actually pretended she didn't speak english when I requested a credit. Instead she sat me back down and proceeded to try to put glue on my cuts!!!! I yanked my hand away and said what are you doing?!?! She said glue will stop bleeding... What?! who does that?! Band aids stop bleeding not glue! I stormed out of the place and told them I would ABSOLUTELY not be going back here. They didn't seem to care. I have never been treated like this at a nail salon. If you make someone bleed and in more pain then they were in prior to getting their nails done, they should be owed something a little more then putting glue on their finger and trying to claim you were not the reason for the bleeding. WORST NAIL EXPERIENCE EVER I COULD DO A BETTER JOB THEN THIS PLACE!!!!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Moon Nails for a little pampering, and let me tell you, it was amazing! My nail technician, Ashley, was an absolute gem. She greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. The salon itself was clean and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a little self-care. Ashley listened to my needs and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire service. Not only did she work her magic and leave me with gorgeous nails, but she also shared some great tips and tricks for maintaining them at home. I had such a wonderful experience at Moon Nails, and I can't recommend it enough. Thank you, Ashley, for being such a wonderful nail tech and making my day! read more

I absolutely love this place! I always call ahead to ensure they have availability and avoid any long wait times. The staff is always super friendly and does an amazing, detailed job on my nails. The owner is always so nice and attentive, which adds a personal touch that you don't get everywhere. The vibes here are way cool- they play great modern music and even have music videos playing, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. I especially enjoy coming here with my husband - it's our little ritual.. Our go-to is the #1 pedicure option. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the quality and the overall experience. Highly recommend! read more

I recently visited Moon Nail for a gel manicure, and I was really pleased with the result. While they don't have a large number of technicians, the quality of their work is truly amazing. The technician who did my nails was very skilled and paid great attention to detail. My gel manicure lasted for a long time without chipping, and the overall experience at Moon Nail was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this salon for anyone looking for high-quality gel manicures. read more
