We call her Dr. Tammy because she can take care of hang nails and any problems that you may have. She doesn't put the polish on until your tootsies are to your liking. Lynn gives fantastic manicures. I have graduated from getting silk wraps to gel. For me they last for up to 4 weeks. These ladies take their time with their customers and don't rush doing their jobs. They are very professional. They always make sure that their customers are happy. They accept walk-ins but it is best if you make an appointment. I wish that I could give them more than 5 stars. Thank you Lynn and Tammy for always making my nails and tootsies looking so beautiful!!!

tl:dr avoid Jenny/the front station by the window!!…read more Came here for gel manicures the day before my wedding. Was excited to spend time dolling up with my bridesmaids, and we came on the recommendation from a bridesmaid in a bridal party a couple weeks prior. But what was intended to be a fun bonding experience quickly went south. For context: I NEVER get my nails done. The last time was over 5 years ago when I was in another bridal party. I had originally wanted something simple and natural, but decided to go for a "fun" style to mark the occasion. I showed the nail tech, Jenny, pictures of a milky ombre nail with some sparkle effect. She nodded, and started to get to work. I asked for rounded but not "too round." She began filing away with a HUGE emory board. Making quick work, she gave me a square with rounded off corners. I asked for a bit more round, and she rounded off more. I asked for still a little more because it looked too flat still, and she filed in diagonally until it came in to a flat tip. I was a little shocked by how much came off, and was feeling uncertain about the look. But she said there was no way to go back now, so I said okay to the rest of them done this way. I figured maybe it would look better with polish. She proceeded to file off the rest of my nails in a rush, mostly filing my skin rather than the nail. After filing, the edges were all uneven and very different lengths, and two of the fingers on my left hand had one side completely sawn off asymmetrically. Not pretty. I figured maybe she would come back and do detailed corrections later, but nope. Then came the cleaning of the cuticles. She nipped so deep that THREE of my fingers started to bleed. She didn't notice the bleeding though until she had already proceeded with chemical application, causing them to sting. She didn't pause to disinfect and stop bleeding. Just wiped acetone on them and kept going. She commented that my skin must be thin. It felt like she was saying it was my skin's fault for bleeding where she cut me. Then came the color. Base color job was nice and even. 5 stars. Tbh I could've stopped there and been fine with it. But once she tried to do the ombre... the sprayer machine she tried to use was out of battery. No backup. Not prepared. After struggling several minutes with getting the sprayer to charge back up, she gave up. But instead of explaining to me what was happening and giving me options to proceed, she decided to go ahead and manually apply the ombre with a paintbrush. It turned out very streaky. Let's call it an "artsy" ombre to be generous. Several layers of painting and curing later, once we were about finished, she then tells me that she can't do ombre with gel nails and I should have asked for powder. Again, not a nail regular, which I told her. And again, getting married the next day, which I told her. Yet somehow, my fault for asking for the wrong thing so that the ombre couldn't be achieved. The sparkle she added at my request as least helped mask some of the sloppiness. After all the painting and curing, it was finally time for top coat and finishing touches. One of my bridesmaids had finished 10 minutes earlier, and I had watched as her nail tech carefully cleaned the edges and made them neat and uniform with a wand, checking in with her regularly to make sure it was to her satisfaction. But Jenny... she came back with the giant emory board and hacked away at the corners again. Except this time, she tore into my flesh and I had to yelp in pain before she would stop. She left a deep gash in my finger, which she did not disinfect. And then once again commented on my "thin skin," as my fingers continued to bleed. This whole time I was staring at her California nail esthetician license, wondering if it's legit or if my experience is supposed to be normal for a nail salon. To wrap it up, she charged me double the regular price because it was not a basic gel manicure. She explained that other nail techs would have refused to do the ombre for gel nails, but because I was the bride, she tried her best for me (I wish she had been upfront and we wouldn't have bothered). Then she wished me luck on my wedding. We booked it out of there. Once I got home and inspected, it finally hit me how sloppy a job she did, how rushed out I felt, and frankly, how abused my nails and fingers were. I spent the afternoon miserably disinfecting the wounds with IPA. One of my bridesmaids called to complain, but they said the injury was an accident and refused to offer any sort of compensation. So buyer beware. Go somewhere else, or avoid Jenny.

Updated Review in response to the owner's response: 2/24/2025:…read more I thought my review of 3 stars for the work was generous considering the lack of customer service and communication, and the high prices. As I stated, the overall quality of the nail job was good, however I am speaking about the overall experience. This is what I have to say in response to your hostile response. I'm glad you admit it was a day lacking customer service and admit to at least some fault. However, your lack of professionalism and attacking me after I wrote a review based on MY experience says enough. Also, no one ever communicated there was a spa option, no one. There was hardly any communication whatsoever, let alone about any optional services. Telling me I'm a bad customer, insinuating I lack manners, and that I suddenly decided to change from gel nails to gel-x is FALSE. Stating I inconvenienced you by wanting gel-x is false because when I texted for the appointment, I clearly said I wanted almond nails, I never mentioned gel. I showed pictures upon arrival, and when I realized you both weren't registering what I wanted, I showed a photo again. I did not cause any mishaps, because after me, there were only 2 other people that came in, and in total, there were 3 employees. No one came in afterwards the whole time I was there. I was the last one there and when I left, no one came in as I left either. In regards to me saying it is too pricey, you stated, you do not work for free. OBVIOUSLY. I paid and tipped. No one works for free. I'm simply stating my opinion, many other reviewers stated the prices are pricey too, but because they had a good enough experience to give 4 or 5 stars, you didn't attack them, like you attacked me. Telling me you would never get a massage chair and that I can rest at home; you are completely missing the point. I am simply letting others know that a massage chair is not provided here because it is common for salons to have massage chairs. Many women go to the salon to get pampered and for a service and for some, it helps them relax; that is what people get tipped for, the added experience. Ajumma, just because you have good craftsmanship, does not mean you can attack people when they write a review based on their experience. I'm curious as to why your response to me was in Hangul instead of in English, since you replied to others in English. If others google translated exactly what you wrote to me, they would be shocked at the full response. I hope you can learn to take constructive criticism. I'm glad there are customers who love your shop, and have had better experiences than I had. This is the last you will hear from me. Take care. ___________________________________________________________ Initial Review 2/10/2025: First impression: walked in, no greeting whatsoever. Weird aura. Turns out English isn't there strong suit. They do not do any small talk at all. Unless if you know Korean. At this point I'm like, should I leave? I stayed anyway. I was disappointed they didn't have massage chairs. I understand why they opted out for no foot spa, because in the end it isn't sanitary but at least a massage chair. When I texted what I'd like and came in, I repeated myself many times. Once I realized she wasn't registering what I wanted I stopped her and told she and she had someone else confirm. I mean.... I texted it, verbalized it, and showed pics, and that should've been enough. I got a small light pink charm, and I don't like that you see the glue through the charm but I guess there's nothing you can do since the charm is so light in color. Otherwise, the quality is good. However, I requested something basic, and only got 1 charm glued on... I was in disbelief by the total cost. I did not think it would be this much at all! A short mani with only one charm, and pedi ended up being $210!!! I just couldn't believe it. As nice as it is. Never again. No massage chair, and way too costly. I didn't feel like I was being pampered or relaxed at all. Also, when the lady was working on my toes, another lady worked on prepping my nails. She made me reach my other arm across to one side so she didn't have to go on the other side. It was uncomfortable. I don't like a lot of chatter but I'm telling you, there was no hello, no thank you, nothing at all. So strange. Even to show me the cost she just pointed at the screen. Like c'mon now. Overpriced and bad customer service- more like lack of. Personally, I would not go back.

After 1.5 hours, I still had no polish on my nails, just builder gel, and we were nowhere near finished. At that point, I decided to leave the salon and go to my regular nail spot around the corner. I also wanted a pedicure, but she was the only tech at the salon so that would've likely added another couple hours. While Lucia was kind, there was a significant language barrier, which made it difficult to execute what I wanted (basic French nails, even after showing reference photos). She offered to finish the service or have me come back the next day to paint my nails which was thoughtful, but I couldn't believe it had almost been two hours and we weren't close to being done so I declined. I left and went to my go-to salon and had builder gel reapplied with French tips completed in 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the excessive time and communication issues made this a frustrating experience, and I would not return.
