I brought my daughter to this place for her First nail salon experience as my birthday gift to her for her 12th Birthday ($35 is reasonable so why not). The place looks nice and clean so I decided that I get pampered as well. The young Spanish lady who did the pedicure to my daughter was polite, gentle and did a great job. However, my pedicure experience was completely different and unpleasant. The Spanish lady seem annoyed and unhappy with her job! She kept breathing so deeply and was so unfocused. Instead of scrubbing the bottom of my foot, she scrubbed the side and skin came off (ouch). I felt discomfort and told her that I was hurt. She doesn't seem to care so I asked her to stop then I noticed it was bleeding. She was quick to say sorry but still didn't care. I asked if they have an antibiotic cream but she was clueless what I was saying so when the Asian senior lady nail technician passed by ...I asked again if they have some medication that I can apply to the injured part and she just said we don't have that and simply warned the Spanish lady worker "slow down" with a threatening voice. I tried to kept my composure and let it slip away as I felt bad for the Spanish Lady and the Asian lady gave me a paper towel anyway to stop the bleeding. I'm just relieved that this wasn't the lady who was with my daughter and all I just wanted was the entire experience to end! When it was time for my daughter to get her manicure, an Asian man (on the older side) asked me if I wanted her nails a bit long. I said her nails are long so just shape it a bit round. He said okay and he smiled so I thought he understood me. As soon as I was done with my pedicure, I was terrified to see that they attached those plastic nails on the tip of my 12 year old. He said he will trim but obviously he didn't understand what I said initially. Instead of being apologetic, he and the Asian lady (who gave me the paper towel for my bleeding skin) gave me an attitude and insisted she needed those because her nail were too short. I said she's a child and probably won't need those but I didn't want to make my daughter's birthday treat experience to be unpleasant so I kept my cool and stayed polite and let them finish what they've started and just asked to trim those nail tips. For my manicure part, it's the same Spanish lady who did the pedicure. But this time she was more attentive and somehow careful. I hope the workers at this place are well compensated so they can learn to love their work and show compassion towards their clients. I was billed and I paid $115 for manicure and pedicure for both of us. When I asked why did the $35 kids manicure and pedicure ended up being $65? Same Asian lady said because her nails were done differently and needed powdered nail polish because of the nail tips attachment, which I never asked to begin with. I still paid for $115 and actually gave tips to all who did our manicure and pedicure despite of our unpleasant service but would most likely not come back here anymore. I could tell that they were surprised receiving their tips! I may seem like an idiot for allowing such scenario to happen ( i didn't want to ruin my daughter's special day and it's not all about money even I felt they took advantage it) but I hope one day this place can provide better services especially to Union residents because the community deserves it.

I am giving it 3 stars because there were a few things that weren't amazing. I called and got a same day appointment which was great because I knew it was last minute. I only waited 20 min for my pedicure to start, which again I thought was ok. Pedicure was your standard pedicure but when I asked for a small callus to be taken care she said it was an extra $5 for that. The callus was super small on the side of my foot but I thought ok thats fine forget it I will live with it. The manicure: they don't let your hands soak in water. I didn't see them do this to anyone. When I asked the tech said she said because of COVID they are doing it less and I should have asked her. Which I guess is good to know. But still I mean isn't that a basic manicure? Then I also had to ask her to cut my cuticles which she reluctantly did. Ok so then she did 2 coats and told me I should choose a different nail color cause it won't last because the bottle is old. I wish she would have told me this earlier!! I told her she should have told me that earlier and she was very apologetic. So I choose another color that was close but not exactly what I wanted. Which again was fine. The price for all this was $53 which I think is affordable? I will be going again and hopefully be updating this review of how long my nails lasted.

Parking in the back. Great customer service and pedicures. And they do not use the electric nail file on your toes!!! Woohoo!!!

Acrylic new set - with nude and gold glitter gel polish

The owner is very sweet, welcoming and tentative. I've Always went to them for a pedicure. They did a great job on it. Very gentle and never rough. This time, I went for my nails. Cindy did acrylic new set on me. It super cute and perfect. Love my nails.

What's nice is that they have Parking behind the salon

A nice day to have a birthday pedicure results in car being hit in parking lot via hit and run..Located behind nail salon. Lucky me. Went to get a pedicure and manicure at 6:20 pm... Winded up getting only a pedicure for $22 since it was too busy. It ended with a nice stone massage to my legs but just really bummed about the car. Staff was nice and patient. Place is clean and did an okay job on my feet.

This is a manicure the worse manicure ever I have to go to another places not going to give this place the satisfaction of trying to fix that's 2x in a row the owner had to fix them last time. People find another place I'm speaking honestly and truthfully this place is the Worst

Full gel set ($60) flawless

I went here a few days ago for the first time and left very satisfied. It was everything I look for in a nail experience. Very warm greeting, clean (and taking proper Covid precautions) and QUICK. I got a gel full set and a gel pedicure for $100. I was in and out in about 2 hours. They were very skilled and efficient. I will absolutely recommend them and be returning.

My nails came out nice $40 for a full set with gel polish $45 total for the coffin shape. I like it. She made sure I was happy with the color even asked if I wanted a third coat which I did bc I wanted it dark. When my nails weren't shinning she told me later when I wash my hand they will. After I paid she wiped my nails done for me to show me they shine. I liked that she did that. I left feeling good.

Love my fresh fill by Cindy!

If you've never been to a "hood" nail shop, you'll be sure to get the full experience here. That's…read morenot a bad thing either. The first time I came here, well over a year ago, I was taken aback by the amount of people inside. Every technician was occupied with a client while others stood, sat, leaned, as they all spoke. It was overwhelming for me, a person with social anxiety. At the same time though, it was a comfortable place to be, and they didn't mind me, or my stroller, or my kids. Don't judge me, I went impromptu. My nails came out great and I've been a regular ever since. Don't get me wrong, until you find "your person", you may run into those who rush through your service, handle a little rough, or otherwise make your experience less than perfect. They do however do everything within their power to amend any issue should you bring it up. I've sat with at least half the techs at least once before I found my person who's name I will not be sharing because she's already always booked LoL. With covid, there have been extra precautions with social distancing stations, masks, and plate windows. I'm a loyal customer here for a reason because even if you don't like the ambiance, they slay them nails baby!!

Terrible experience. Did a pedicure and the lady rushed the whole process, did not clean my toes…read moregood and was very aggressive. I told the owner my experience and he was very disrespectful and hostile towards me. Never coming back here again.
