I sat at Station #4 and didn't catch the gentleman's name but he was seriously the nicest person ever. We had a long conversation and he did a great job on my nails.

I was seated quickly, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I treated myself to a gel pedicure and a builder gel manicure. The salon hd a relaxing atmosphere, and I appreciated that I never felt rushed. Unfortunately, the quality of my manicure didn't quite meet my experience. My guilder gel wasn't as smooth was I had hoped and had a few noticeable bumps, and the gel polish started chipping after three days, which was disappointing considering the service. I spent $150 for both services. I'm willing to give them another chance because everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I'm hopeful my next visit will have a better outcome.

First of all, this is not like any other nail place in town where you could just walk in and get…read moreservice. So if you are looking for that type of place, don't just show up here. CALL THEM and make an appointment! They are the BEST nail artists in town, hands down, but they are a small mom and pop business. There are three employees, and I think that this is what makes this place so special. They pay attention to their clients! They always remember me by name and even remember what we chatted about during my last visit. I always leave loving my nails!! I can come with any idea or picture and Peter and Katie make it happen for me!! Also, they have phenomenal customer service. I went to Tahoe one weekend right after getting my nails done and chipped three of them! I came in the following Tuesday (after calling them that morning) and Peter was able to pencil me in for a lunch appointment. He worked magic on my nails and got them looking like new in less than 20 minutes. Do not disrespect them and their time by making them wait for you. Call or text if you are running late or can't make it. They work by appointment mostly, but they can usually fit you in same day, just not as a walk in right then and there. I cannot say enough positive things about this business and the people who make it the amazing little shop that it is. I will always be their loyal client!!

By Friday afternoon, my gel…read moremanicure had already started chipping, which is very disappointing considering it had been less than 24 hours. I've attached photos showing the condition of my nails. In addition, I felt that my pedicure was rushed. The service advertised a 10-minute massage, but it lasted only about 6 minutes. The massage and other parts of the pedicure felt very brief, and I didn't feel I received the service that I paid for. When I returned to show the chipped nails, I was told they could simply file them down. Filing chipped gel polish does not correct the problem or address why the manicure failed so quickly. I would appreciate a proper resolution.I chose this salon because I expected quality work, and unfortunately this experience did not meet those expectations. They ask customers to leave a review immediately after the service, but I believe reviews should reflect the quality of the work after you've had a chance to see how it holds up. Unfortunately, the quality did not meet my expectations. I won't be returning and cannot recommend this salon based on my experience.

Absolutely not! I decided to give this place a try because…read moreit had such high reviews and it's close to my house. Let me start off by saying that they left my hands soaking in acetone for over 12 minutes and finally once it started burning I pulled my hands out of the acetone. I will never go to another nail salon that makes you soak your fingertips in acetone for that long in order to remove your dip. The person doing it left me there because they went and waxed to somebody's eyebrows. The dip on my nail is over my cuticle and I asked her to do something about it and she just told me that was the shape of my fingernail. I get my nails done regularly and have for years so I know what the shape of my fingernail is. It was such a disappointing experience. I will say that the pedicure was actually pretty good but the packages they show you don't make a lot of sense. It was 25.00 more than what I normally pay at my regular nail place that does a way better job. I asked for 5 minutes of extra massage that I did not get. If you're not going to do the full massage time you should probably remove the clock from the wall. That's what I get for cheating on my regular nail place and I've learned my lesson. I don't know how it has all these high ratings. If you go there, only go for a pedicure. Never again!

Checked in to make sure everything was to my comfort level, great service, did wonderful work on my feet. The gal who did my nails was also lovely and quick and precise. I would highly recommend this place to someone looking for a nice relaxing experience. They had a steady steam of regulars coming in for appointments as well as several calls coming in to make appointments. This is a smaller salon so while I was lucky with the walk in, I'd recommend an appointment or just give them some grace to accommodate you accordingly. Next time I'm looking for a nice pedicure I know where im going.
