    Coffin shape; dipped.

    Chai was absolutely wonderful. He was so nice and gentle. He asked for clarification on the design I wanted and color. Don't sleep on him yall. 10/10

    Acrylic fill with gel polish, and pedicure with gel polish!

    Chai was amazing! I reached out on short notice for a pedicure and acrylic fill and he was very accommodating. His attention to detail and care for nail health is very evident. Highly recommend and will be returning!

    Beautiful nails and great service! Will be coming here again, highly recommend

    5 stars all of the way... Chai is very professional, detail oriented, and a perfectionist! He aims very high to have his clients satisfied, he wants to know about YOUR LIKES so that he can make sure you leave with a smile. Sooo up 2 date type of styles...he has brought his expertise to Dallas and I am more than sure that he will do very well here! I am so glad I found him on Yelp!! I told him to book me at 3p every other week so you better get in where you can fit in!!! ((Smiles)) 6/10/16 Fresh new set today and a pedicure! Did I mention how clean he is? Yes, very...everything is sanitary! Today I tried his pedicure, and it was soooooooooook RELAXING!!! Omg the scrub massage is the best!!!! My nails are flawless as ever ...AGAIN!!! I swear he is the best of the best...don't believe me???? Give him a try...you will be hooked just like me!

    First off, i am very picky with my nails, and I have the terrible habit of keeping my dislikes to myself and then never going back to the nail salon. I've had several of those instances occur already, and I feel so blessed to have come across Chai on Yelp. He is a patient perfectionist who sees nails as empty canvases for art, and it really shows in his work. I've asked him to do different shapes which he has executed perfectly. I even asked him to do a subtle design on my ring fingers (something I never do). The first time didn't work out so well, even though it looked beautiful, because the rhinestones started falling off (Im not the most gentle with my hands - and I type all day long). Needless to say, Chai showed his professionalism by taking me in and fixing them and giving me a design that I absolutely love but never would have gone with. On top of it all he handed me a $10 bill and said it was the difference between both designs. I was in awe, you don't come across honestly of that extent very frequently. Highly recommend him for his talent, work ethics, and honesty.

    Dip powder - almond shape

    I cannot EXPLAIN how happy I am with Chai's work. A hole in the wall place that you should definitely give a shot. He's so meticulous with his work and I was simply stunned with the outcome. I would recommend booking ahead of time as he is BOOKED - explains how great he is ;) Also did I mention he is the sweetest sweetest person you will ever meet. I've def found my go to. I got a dip powder full set!! And don't even get me started on his pedicures. Probably the best job I've ever ever seen

    So this was first experience getting dip....Chai was very professional and has an eye for detail. I also like that he gave his artistic input after I showed him a Pinterest image of what I wanted- the collaboration turned out amazing! (Not pictured are my toes- solid black and white)

    Full set w/ acrylic tips and gel polish

    I know this is a lengthy review but if you're thinking of getting your hair cut here i recommend…read moregiving it a read. I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at this salon. I received a haircut as a Mother's Day gift, and it was the worst salon experience I have ever had. During the haircut with Annette, over three inches of my hair was cut off, despite my explicit request to maintain the length. I asked for fluffy, face-framing with lots of layers, but the result was nothing like the inspiration photos I provided. As this was my first haircut in eight years at an actual salon, I was very upset. I cried on the way home and spent my Mother's Day extremely upset about all the length that was cut off after I had spent over a year regrowing it since cutting it postpartum and had finally got it back to a length where i felt like myself again. When I contacted the salon to request a refund, I was met with resistance. I contacted their salon through their Business Instagram and got ZERO response. Their website lacks a clear refund policy, only stating a 50% cancellation fee (which i asked if they could honor so i could get some money back but they refused) there was NOTHING discussing any return policy through services provided. Initially, they didn't offer any refund at all and just for me to come in and "fix" it, when the damage was already done. Then offered barely a refund of the tip and blowout cost, totaling $34, which they confirmed multiple times over the phone after me asking . However, I only received $23 back. Upon calling to inquire about the discrepancy, the staff was incredibly rude. Throughout all our interactions, including when I initially messaged their Instagram page (which received no response), the customer service was consistently poor. There was no apology offered at any point. On the phone they told me it was my fault because I did the math wrong on the amount to be refunded even though I clarified the amount on the original call and they agreed. After this I told them I would be leaving a review and to which the manager Jamie replied "okay see you on google" and hung up the phone. Overall, this was an awful experience marked by a drastic, unwanted haircut and appalling customer service. I cannot recommend this salon to anyone and I will NEVER be coming here again. I wish I could leave a zero star review because I don't even feel as though they deserve one. The photo evidence below consists of my hair before the appointment, the inspiration photos I shared with Annette, and lastly the hair cut that was nothing like I asked for.
