I have been to Mai on several occasions, first out of convenience, but then I realized she does great work. The first time I went to her, I was with a friend, and both of us were extremely pleased. My friend would have continued to see Mai but she is in boot camp. Since October 2014, I have seen her at least 5 times for a Shellac Manicure. She uses the brand Gelish on me but has other brands of shellac polish in addition to regular polish. The Gelish polish stays on my nails for at least 4 weeks.
Even though her shop fits 4 people at most, it is just her and her mom (Katie) who are there. By having only two workers at a time, it reduces echoes of other customers and the employees are able to focus on their current customer.
She offers affordable prices on manicures (price varies) and pedicures ($25) and everything used is sanitized.
The past few times I had Mai paint different designs & polish on each nail, her price for designs are an addition $3. Her skills and creativity always show when it comes to painting nails and I am always proud to show them off to who ever will see.
