    Full set, sns
    Eva M.

    Rose is absolutely great, the service is quick and her attention to detail is amazing. I originally came here bc I had a broken nail from another salon in Alabama and she fixed it perfectly and found a perfect color match to the previous color. She was so patient with me and made sure I was satisfied with the shape color and design. Her work was way better than what I got in Alabama I had to come back for a full set. She also did my eyebrows and they look greatttt. She cleaned them up so great my eyebrows look amazing. I also received a pedicure from Tammy and when the water began to cool down she automatically added more hot water in the bowl. Service is top tier. Everyone in the nail shop left very pleased. I love the service here and highly recommend I will be coming back.

    I had about 2 hours before my appt and wanted to get my nails done while I waited. Came here. The staff were rude or just didn't speak much English. I asked about the wait time and got no answer just to "have a seat." The place reeked of chemicals! It was very strong with my mask on. Some people may just be use to this but I find it hard to believe the place is sanitary with that type of smell in the air. Didn't like the service especially as a first impression and will not be getting any services or going back.

    I continue to blown away by this Salon and their staff, I needed to get my nails done immediately for an impromptu date. My regular tech Wayne, was completely booked but Ann managed to get me in during her break. (Bless!) Very impressed with how quickly but thorough and detailed she was with my SNS dip manicure. With so many salons around, I'll still bring my business here because the quality of work and just how sweet everyone is!

    I really enjoyed my experience here. Everyone was super nice and informative of the pricing. They were also very clean and took their time with me. I felt thoroughly taken care of Wayne definitely showed out on my nails. I'm new to the area but I think I've found my favorite shop now.

    I was happy with my pedicure. Ana took her time even though I was late to my appointment. She didn't rush it and she did a great job.

    Love my nails!!! By Wayne...S and S

    Love my nail techs!! Wayne fingers and Ann my feet All the staff is friendly!!! I get the S and S instead of Gel.

    Fungus

    So I've been coming to this place for about a month and a half every two weeks. I happen to look at my toes before my appointment and realized the bottom of my toe was black. I took off all the polish immediately and my toes looked like this. I came to the salon and showed them my feet and they tried to tell me that it wasn't a fungus and I dropped something on my toe and they couldn't do anything for me until it grew off. They were very rude and uninterested and blew me off. Mind you I only get regular polish so why are my nails in layers like this. DO NOT RECOMMEND

    Finished nails

    This place had very nice staff and everyone was very welcoming. However, they were unorganized, rushed and I was unsatisfied with the finished product. There was acrylic and nail polish all over my hands and it looks messy. I would've asked them to clean it up but as I said, I was being rushed out of the chair due to the amount of appointments they had coming in. Not their fault, which I understand, but I'm very unsatisfied with the work I had done.

    I love this shop!! Wayne always takes care of me and does EXACTLY what I want! Definitely check them out, they've only been in the same location for 27 years!!!

    Never go to this place these are "freshly done" nails. DO NOT go here they suck
    Greonna T.

    They do a horrible job. When I left I still had crust from the SNS powder on my skin and under my nails, when I said something about it she said oh just scrub it when you get home..... umm what? The lady who started on my nails didn't know what she was doing and the one who finished was rushing so she really messed my nails up. They looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for a pedicure bag, why would I want to stick my feet in a bare bowl without protection, people have all sorts of foot fungus and stuff. They won't be receiving another penny from me. Probably just need to be shut down actually!

    Not The cleanest place, it also needs updating. Prices are reasonable but would not recommend, nor return.

    Clearly caught them on a bad day, but unfortunately it cost me my nails…read more Just moved to the area and was looking for a new salon. Found them on Google, called ahead, and was told to come in at 3 for SNS. I arrived at 3:10 on a Sunday to a nearly empty salon, which was surprising for a weekend. The front desk lady asked what I wanted and called across the salon to a young man who was working on nail decals solo. He visibly did not want to stop what he was doing. With only two people in the shop, someone had to help me, and that fell on him. While he finished up, the front desk lady was actually sweet about the service. She brought over colors and even suggested a fun option: a clear SNS base with gel polish on top for a jelly color effect. I loved the idea and agreed. When he was ready, he held his hands out without a word and got to work. No greeting, no conversation. He soaked my nails in what I can only describe as boiling water before filing everything off, which was genuinely painful. When I mentioned the jelly color technique the lady suggested, he said it wasn't possible, started doing my nails anyway, and never explained further. The paint job was rough. It looked like I did it myself with my non dominant hand. The whole service felt rushed despite the salon being practically empty, which made it more frustrating given that I called ahead specifically to be considerate of their time. Five days later my nails are destroyed. The SNS has cracked on most fingers and taken chunks of my actual nails with it. The gel polish is flaking off. Press ons would have held up better. Would not recommend for walk ins. If you go, make sure you have a dedicated nail tech you trust.

I did make an appointment a few weeks ago because my schedule wasn't super flexible. My technician who did a manicure and pedicure was Dejah and she was lovely. She took time cleaning and filing each nail meticulously. I did get an express manicure and a nourishing pedicure with gel polish - both services cost around $135, but I thought it was well worth the money for the professionalism and detail that the technician offered. Since I didn't have cash for tip, I was able to leave a tip via Venmo. PS: they have drinks you can purchase. You can also order coffee from Green Beans (two doors done) that they will deliver to you!

    Favorite nail salon in Atlanta. Free street parking…read more Easy to schedule appointments online. I like that you can add a quiet add on to your appointment so your technician knows you're not interested in talking but want to relax. They have a wide variety of nail polish and the polish will typically last for a few weeks with no chipping. Prices are reasonable for the service you receive. All technicians have provided excellent service and are detailed and complete quality work. There is also a coffee shop next door so arrive to your appointments a few minutes early to get your Favorite beverage.
