I've been going here for years, and they are absolutely fabulous. Great place to decompress from life and get pampered. High-quality nail services from all the ladies. If you want an intricate/detailed/specialty design, ask for Chelsea or Leah, they are both incredible artists. But, again, all the girls do great work. I get complemented on my nails all the time. Also, everything in the salon is extremely clean and all the tools are heat-sterilized between customers. Highly recommend. read more

Used to do such great work ! Quality hasn't really gone down, went in for a simple one color gel manicure, and two nails had chipped within two days and by the third day one nail had completely come off. Very minimal prep work and poor cuticle care. read more

Second time to post a review. Employee was in a rush. The other employees were chatting nonstop among themselves while giving a manicure... I asked them to clean up my cuticles on my toes and nothing was done, again she was in a hurry to help others. I took my own foot cream and the employee scooped about two tables spoons and slopped it on my legs and feet, a teaspoon was enough! Bad business! I am never going there again! read more

Chelsea did an amazing job on my nails. I've visited her every two weeks since the first time she did my nails. I showed her a picture of the design I wanted and she did it freehand. I was so impressed. Everyone there is wonderful. The pedicures are great and they have a huge range of options from polishes to gels to dips and designs. So glad I found this spot. read more

I went to this nail salon to get a simple gel manicure, and I decided to go to this one because a couple years ago I had great service and beautiful nails. Today however, I walked out with uneven, and sloppily painted nails that I probably could've done myself. I don't mean to be rude because they were civil to me and she gave me a little massage (the only reason I tipped)... I think they were using old gel and honestly I would've rather just chosen a different color to get a fresher and more even manicure. The woman was very harsh and it hurt but I didn't want to say anything because she seemed annoyed by anything I said (like when I asked her to clip my nails). Anyways, I guess it's hit or miss? Because I remember the good experience I had a while back. read more

I got a basic pedicure, with a quick soak and scrub then cut and polish. They didn't cut my cuticles, excess skin or do callus removal, but again, I paid for the basic $15 package. I did get acrylic nails with gel which came out nicely. The ladies are very nice, speak primarily Vietnamese, and do try to upsell services, so be aware--that's how I got my gel nail upgrade. I did get a price reduction which was really nice of Lani, so 31 bucks for my gel acrylics. I may be a noob at being girly and getting my nails done, especially fake nails, but my experience has always been painful. The nail drill that goes around the cuticle around the skin, drew a little blood on two fingers, it made me wonder if that happens often and if they sanitize those tools. I'm paranoid I'm going to get a blood bourne illness/infection. I also noticed they don't use tub liners for their pedicure soaking tubs. Hmmm I guess they scrub them with bleach afterwards, I don't know. I should have asked. Just be aware. Overall good looking end results and price, just a few concerns noted above. Note: Cash tip preferred. read more

I never complain on here but...my mom, my daughter and I went here to treat ourselves for Mother's day. The lady botched my manicure, it was embarrassing and I couldn't wait to tear it off. I asked for acrylic nails like my daughter got and wanted purple and gold as she just got accepted to UW and she ignored most of my requests, the only part she did right was my pedicure, which was just purple. It was a very expensive mistake and I feel like my manicure should've been free. I won't be back here again. read more

TERRIBLE RUINED MY CUTILES. All of my nail cuticles were bleeding, poor nail polish coverage (uneven and no polish on the tips or side). This is the first time getting acrylics instead of hard gel and I'm mortified the nail itself is lumpy and uneven. I wish I could put zero stars!! Also they didn't even put a towel under my hands, they worked over A (SINGULAR) paper towel. They knocked only a few bucks off the price and put cuticle on after they could see I was clearly unhappy. The lady ringing me up seemed to be arguing about the amount of discount with another lady from across the room. I can promise you I will never be going back. read more

I got my nails done on friday and 3 days later they are peeling off I was waaay over charged, and this is the last time they ever get my business, if they are busy. Careful because they will rush your ass out of there like no tomorrow and I'm tired of tipping people who dont even deserve it! read more

They are quite sweet people but seemed a little rushed when I went in for a fill. I called in ahead of time to make sure there would be room for me and when I went in they seemed to be confused as to who I talked to. They really do try to push you to do other things as well such as waxing, pedicure, massage, etc... which makes me uncomfortable. I got a very simple fill with plain polish and I asked for a red flower on my "party" finger (ring finger) but to my dismay I got something that looks vaguely like part of a flower and bubbles in my top coat... read more

My husband and I just got our pedi done like 10 mins ago. Place looks nice, my pedi cost $26 + $10 gel + $3 cuz it's their new unicorn color=$39 for 20-25mins pedi . $26 for my husband pedi which is he's done In like 15mins or less. I don't think it's fair to pay this much when they just rush their service or it's ok if they charge like this but atleast give us good service. We've been to other place before that's $5 cheaper and better service. We came here today so my husband can try it since it was good when I got my pedi here 1 time.. anyway were just gonna go back to our luxury spa place . I wish we didn't go to this place. It was a waste of money. Meh....... read more

Worst experience! We felt rushed and couldn't enjoy the service. I had nail polish on both of my hands. It wasn't cleaned off after I asked twice. My daughter's toenails got ruined because we were rushed and when fixed it wasn't done correctly. It is overpriced for the lack of hospitality and good service. read more

I could've done a better job on my own feet she didn't even pay attention to how i wanted my toenails cut or how short I wanted them, she was so rude and rough couldn't make eye contact with me, and just talked to her friend the whole time! When I tried to have a conversation with her she ignored me. They do not use the sanitation bags for pedicures, their "hot towels" were cold and it doesn't seem like they're very sanitary with anything else.. My friend was across from me and couldn't even ask about fixing a nail because the lady doing her nails couldn't stop running her mouth to the other workers. 10/10 NOT going back... read more

Got a full set of a Pink Sparkle Manicure for my trip to Vegas the next day. Not even a week in and the Nails started chipping. The lady did not put on a top coat, and my sister had to mention it for me. Along side of that, she did not put even amounts of layers on each sides of the nails. She bumped into my ring finger and just covered it up with a big fat bump. I felt confused and annoyed by how it seemed that there was bad talk about me just because I asked for a top coat. I did not know what the problem was, but since there was a sparkle on top of the pink it apparently should not be shiney ?? All I kept hearing was "sparkle" in the sentences of vietnamese. I wish things would have worked out, their place is nice. But my experience was not quite. read more

I called ahead of time before coming in.When I called she said it was okay to come in.I went and they told me they were close.Like you just told me you were open.I drive all the way to your nail sallow for nothing.Wasting my freakin gas.I wouldn't recommend.If I could give no star I would. read more

I came here with my mother to have manicures. In all honesty, my nails do look great. I got a gel manicure and the color is fantastic, my nails were totally filled in with lacquer, they are shiny and smooth. However, the customer service bummed me out a bit. First of all, we came in together, mother and daughter, after not seeing each other in 5 months. I was visiting from LA, and it was my first day in town. They separated us at two different tables!!! We were initially seated right next to each other so we could chat and shoot the shit, catch up on life. As soon as she realized I needed the (portable) UV light for my gel manicure, they moved me and separated us from each other! What the hell??!?? Never have I gone with a companion to have our nails done, and separated. That's 100% of the fun, going together and sitting next to each other. Second, I had a Yelp deal... 5$ off service $26 or more. My gel manicure was 24$, so they wouldn't honor the coup. I asked if I could buy something else to make it 26$.... Nope!! That just seems so lame. If I had gotten some stupid flower or Seahawks logo drawn on, I would've been able to get $5 off, no doubt. Psssssh. Furthermore, the up-selling is downright annoying. I get it, you need to make a living and it makes sense to upsell in business. But no, I do not want a flower. No, I do not want paraffin wax treatment. No, I do not trust you to take care of my eyebrows. Gotta say, my nails look good, but I don't want to come back after that experience. Lame and a half. read more

they didn't ask what kind of pedicure i wanted .i only got a hot stonerub..no lotion leg/foot massage. they didn't clean my cuticles .on my hands and one of my nails has extra glitter that wasnt part of the design plan..no lotion hand massage! Isn't part of the experience having your feet and hands massage ? Or did they stop doing this? I was here before and they did a really good job I'm very disappointed as this nail job is for my wedding on Saturday and they were the closest ones that were available. read more

My sister's hand without it even being 1 week after getting them done by one of the most impolite people we've ever paid for service. We consider getting our nails done as a luxury so we were pretty excited. However, when we arrived, we already felt rushed. It was full but that's never an excuse to take away from a customer's experience. Both of the ladies doing our nails were just talking to each other and when the lady doing my sister's nails (she was an older woman) would talk to my sister, her tone was always rude and sounded like she was annoyed. Both of them cut off too much skin because they did it so fast and carelessly (I even got cut). I do not recommend this place to those looking for a experience and who want to avoid infection. read more

The girls here are the best! So sweet and attentive. The last time I went in I asked to have my nails taken off and a new set out on because I wanted longer coffin nails. I was taken to the girl that does the designs, I can't remember her name, and she was amazing. She removed my nails and told me my nail beds were really thin and she had me promise I wouldn't have the nails removed for a while so that they could heal! She told me, "I know I make more money when you ask this but I don't care about the money, I care about your health!" Who says that!? So so sweet that she cared enough! AND she did an amazing job on my nails. She was careful and precise and so so attentive! And I've always had a good experience when I go in there! read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars, this place was terrible. My friends and I went in for simply acrylics and they were overpriced and didn't look good at all! After the lady had finished my nails she "massaged" *beating the fuck out of* my back. I have extreme back issues, i now have to go to the ER because she hurt me so bad. They charged me over 50$ for something that looks like actual shit. They did my friends nails so bad, they weren't what she wanted and they flat out look bad, they also made fun of us the entire time we were there and were just bitchy. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

If I could give them Zero stars I would! This place was horrible. My friends and I went in yesterday for simple acrylics,They made fun of us the whole time! Lea was horrible I can't stress that enough!!! I literally have never been so dissatisfied. They charged me 41$ for something I didn't want. Chelsea is the only good one but she was off,Last year was 100% better. Would not recommend! Also,My friend has had numerous back surgeries and after she got her OVERPRICED acrylics they started "massaging" *beating the hell out of *her back,Now she can't walk and has to be taken to the emergency room. DO NOT GO HERE P.S I am not exaggerating. This is completely 100% truthful,I can even show you the hospital band. read more

I have had Chelsea  do my nails for about 10 years. When she left ,where she was working and bought this business it took me sometime to find her. When I found Chelsea I choice to go the extra miles and time to go to her. I never really had too much trouble with my nails. I would go in every couple weeks or three weeks and was very happy. I did try a couple places I was never very happy, I decided after 19 months I needed to start getting my nails and pedicures done again to help my Diabetes. one week after I had them done somewhere else. I went to Chelsea and had to get them fixed. I will keep going back to her. I do appreciate all the Covid safety guidelines she does. Thank you read more

My wife and daughter have been here a few times with a friend who recommended the place. Its unfortunate that I am writing this review but I am upset with the most recent visit they just had. My wife was totally treated poorly while my daughter and my wife's friend were taken care of . The person taking care of my wife acted like they barley wanted to do the manicure. Being forceful and not very nice and that's unprofessional. She felt rushed and like the girl didn't even want to touch her and that she was bothered . After the treatment was done she just walked away without saying a word. I would hate to think it's racial buts it's suspicious that my wife who is darker skin gets treated like that and my daughter and my wife's friend ( who both look white) get treated and pampered with no problem. These things make me super upset and we will definitely not be going there anymore. No thank you. We deserve a whole lot more than you can provide . Obviously. Goodbye read more

These ladies were amazing. While traveling through the area on vacation my daughter and I stopped to get our fingers and toes done. Place is very clean, in fact one of the cleanest nail salons I've ever come across. Very well decorated and several people there spoke English well. My daughter is six and got both a pedicure and a manicure, they treated her like a princess and she very much enjoyed the experience. I was there to get a full set and was impressed at how gentle and quick they managed to take my last set off. I also was very excited to try the new cat Eye nails that they introduced to me. They are amazing possibly, one of the coolest sets of nails I've ever had and I constantly get compliments on them. If I lived in the area I would for sure make them my regular nail salon. read more

This place has really gone downhill. I started going to Nails and Waxing several years ago for my pedicures and the service was good and the staff was friendly. Not anymore.... if you don't upgrade from the basic pedicure or get a gel polish (more money) they are rude and they rush. The last two times I went in, the girl finished my polish, walked away and NEVER CAME BACK! Both times I had to put on my sandals and of course smudged the polish. I will never return. read more

I really enjoy this salon. Everyone is very friendly. It's clean and love the decor. I have never had a bad experience here and they always make sure you are ok before you leave.
