    Today was my first appointment with Ken. It was everything all of the reviews I read had said. He was absolutely awesome !!!! His 35 years experience shows. I will not go to anyone else going forward

    Have been coming to Ken for over 10 years!! My nails are not damaged, grow and healthy. No electric files here!! He does awesome work!! Best nail guy ever!! Won't go anywhere else!!

    I love wearing historic art on my fingers.

    It's awesome to have a famous painting done on your nails. If you're interested in looking for someone who's creative and very artistic getting your nails done by Ken is a must. Even better when he does acrylics mine last a month. Can you guess the original artwork?

    Love love love the nail art!

    Good morning why don't you call me or text me the picture you like I'm sure I'll be able to create the design that you would like. ..Ken

    Hi! Do you offer the "dip nails" and I'm very particular about my nails matching in length, will the technician be cool with this and not feel like I'm a pain? :) ty!

    Hello thank you for asking though I do not offer the dip nail . I do a beautiful acrylic nails last three to four weeks and does not damage the natural. I'm very meticulous and like all the nails to match.. contour length and shape 👍

    Is your business kid friendly?

    Of course and if your little person would like their nails painted at no charge that would be a pleasure?

    10/10 do not recommend, I'm not the kind of person to leave bad reviews because I typically don't…read morecare enough to but my past and last time going was awful. The lady who did my nails was extremely rude and passive aggressive for no apparent reason, I barely spoke 3 words to her I just tried to stay quiet, she got irritated with me because I asked her if I could test out a color on my nails and I could tell she just did not want to do it to add "more work" for herself, she snatched my hands at one point stating she had to "redo" something because I barely touched my nails, I ended up not picking a color and saying I was fine with clear because I was just ready to leave. I felt bad almost and did not want to cause a scene because my past 2 times going to Nail Garden were both good experiences and I had no issues but this time was god awful and I cried when I got to my car! Call me dramatic but that lady needs to go. I'd say she was in her 50s, salt and pepper hair but so rude, I've gotten my nails done for a few years now but have never had this bad of an experience.

    Had the worst pedicure. This review is only based on the lady that did my pedicure I'm not sure…read moreanyone else in the salon. But my pedicure has come short, I ask for a deluxe pedicure with gel polish. Her work is very messy, first off she ask if I need to cut down I said yes please, instead of using a nail clipper she use the nipper (which is for the cuticles) to cut my nails, which OK but then she filed my toes nail with a file she pull out from her apron instead of using a new file in the pedicure package. Next she started cutting my cuticles which she not really cutting because she was yanking my cuticles which it hurt and she started cutting the side of my toe nails which I don't understand why she did that because I do not have ingrown at all. But now she cut all the corners and side of my toes, which I left in pain because again she was yanking it out. Scrubbing the bottom of my feet she barely put any effort pressure to scrub my still rough. I'm not expecting to be baby but smoot than what I come in with. But no is not. Now is massage, I thought I would get some decent massage with a deluxe pedicure, but massage was no longer then 2 mins she literally just slap some lotion/oil on and that it. Lastly the polish l, it is very messy got on my cuticles and the polish wasn't smooth. The lady told me I shouldn't get White because my toes were short, well I told her I never have that problem before. I left with uneven and painful toes. I will definitely not come back or recommend. I did paid $60 plus 20% tips The price is fair but the the treatment I get for what I paid doesn't match up.

    This place was very busy when I went, granted it was a weekend, luckily the owner was nice enough…read moreto squeeze me in! I requested the collagen manicure which was nail color and a collagen hand mask and they also give you a light hand and arm massage. Sadly my nails did not even last a week. I guess the color I chose was soft gel polish and just did not last especially with washing your hands in warm water or showering. Granted the lady who did my nails recommended that I get the gel manicure instead because it would last longer but I've also gotten normal manicures at other places and they've lasted long. I also wished their service menu explained what the service entails but for the most part this place looked nice and have comfy clean chairs and they do a very good job with shaping and painting so I would still recommend it, just make sure you get the gel manicure!

    I've given this salon multiple chances over numerous visits, and every time I've been let down with…read morepedicures. The polish is often messy, the work feels rushed, and the attention to detail just isn't there. It's clear they prioritize their regulars and nail appointment clients, while walk-ins for pedicures seem to get whatever time is left over. There may be one or two staff members who can actually deliver a proper pedicure, but the majority (many of whom are older) are far too gentle and don't provide the necessary grooming techniques. I consistently leave feeling like my service was rushed, yet they still charge premium prices, especially for gel polish, which is already overpriced across much of the South. This really works my nerves the most because up North all pedicures are included with gel polish. I've voiced my concerns to the manager more than once, but there's always an excuse and never any real effort to make things right. No accommodations, no improvement. I'm officially done and will not be returning.
