    Nice place, awesome service! May is a very talented artist. Recommend highly. I got a gel manicure with a gel pedicure in white and this is how my hands came out

    May is the waaayyy she has been my nail tec for the past 10 years! Her work is beyond expectations, her execution is clean af it speaks volume. She has an extensive selection of acrylic colors/gel polish & Swarovski gems to choose from. I enjoy watching her do my nails because she does everything step by step. from cleaning your cuticles to filing/shaping/sculpting to topping it off with cuticle oil & lotion to nurture your skin. Some nail tecs don't even bother cleaning your cuticles or care about the sanitary state of a manicure. May takes proper protocols in assuring that her station is well sanitized prior to her next client! She truly cares about the well-being nature of your nails. Give her a theme, any theme and she will amaze you with her creativity. It can be very therapeutic if you watch how she incorporates her art into perfection. She is extremely detailed in delivering top quality and is very delicate with her performance i can not stress this enough. I receive positive compliments every single day from customers to co-workers! Theres been several times where random strangers would just walk up to praise my nails like * Omg Where'd you get these nails! Who did your nails!* It makes me feel so beautiful, boosted me in such confidence! I Love it! my nails draws so much attention! When I walk into work yeah all eyes on me! and it just keeps coming. I have referred all my friends and anyone curious about my gorgeous nails to May and will continue to do so. If you're expecting cheap wacky rose nails, may is not for you! She takes her work seriously and does not deliver crap. She's consistently booked and busy! she does go out of her way to answer questions and concerns. But it's all worth the wait and the hype. I am so blessed to have may as my permanent nail tec she is sooooo worth it! NO REGRETS. Also her shop is super duper adorable! Its dolled up in this cute Tiffany blue theme on the inside & she has a little cute shop set up on the side with her amazing handmade sugar scrubs and other goodies. It's a lovely place with such a homey touch to it.

    I got recommended to come here by multiple people! Nia did my nails and they turned out PERFECT. May and Nia are super nice and welcoming! I think I just found my nail tech! Will definitely be coming here again (:

    All I can say is I am a customer for life! May was careful, gentle, so meticulous that I am addicted. Thanks May for making my nails look so pretty!

    My favorite set of nails! Thanks so much May!

    May did a fantastic job! This was my first time having my nails done by her, and she did an amazing job! She got me in quickly. And she would respond so fast! I got them done a week ago and I'm still gushing over them! All of my coworkers and friends love them! I've gotten so many compliments from strangers too! I came all the way from Modesto to her shop in Merced, and it was totally worth it! Her shop was super easy to find and parking was plentiful. Thanks, again, so much May! I can't wait to come again!

    At Flair Beauty & Art you will always leave feeling fabulous! Never disappointed and always happy with the results. I see May and every experience has been great. She is very patient, caring, and takes her time which I really appreciate. On two occasions, I came in with gnarly and short-bitten nails and she transformed them! Love the hospitality there and how open it is. Definitely recommend it!

    I drive from Modesto to get my nails done by May. She is sooo worth the drive.She takes her time with every set and makes sure my nails are perfect. She always gets me in even if she has to work late. She always gives top notch,quality work.

    I've been going to May the past 4-5 months! My nails are always on point, just the way I want it every time. I love how she doesn't rush her work and always makes sure the top/under the nail is looking good before she proceeds to the next step. If you go to her you will not regret it.

    Mai always does great work! If only if she lived in Fresno. More clientele and very hard to find a great Hmong nail tech artist.

    How much for a fill and to fix 1 broken nail?

    Hello. I now offer online booking. To view my services and prices & to book an appointment, you may go to… Read more

    How much is it for a full set of acrylics?

    Prices range depending on what you want. I get simple elegant medium short gel nails and I pay from 47-55. It'll be more if you get longer nails and extras/fancy designs.

    Jackie at Alison Nicole Nail Co. is truly amazing. I've gotten several sets from her now, and I…read morehave never had nails turn out as close to the inspiration photo as they do with her. They are literally identical to the photos I bring in. I'm a little picky about my nails, so I started with simpler designs, but recently I gave her more complicated nail art, and she absolutely nailed it. She is incredibly detail-oriented and committed to getting everything just right. Every set has come out perfect. I'm genuinely blown away by her work and her commitment to high-quality nails. She takes the time to make sure the final result matches your vision. If you have a major event, like a wedding, graduation, or anything where you want your nails to be perfect, Jackie is the person to go to. She is amazing.

My nails are perfectly shaped, the polish didn't chip and I went almost 3 weeks before I went back, plus I work in a place that is hard on my hands and my nails hold up without the polish lifting, chipping or coming off. She is flexible, and so very sweet! I was given her name by my tax lady. I'm so glad she referred me to Brianna! I won't go anywhere else. What a great gem!

    I am in my 5th Year of going to this salon. When I first looked for a salon I wanted one that was…read moreclean and had appointments. All of these ladies schedules on are time, like a well-oiled machine. But instead I found something even better, a home that can take care of all of my "I deserve this" needs. The salons owner Melissa who takes care of my nails is an absolutely fabulous conversationalist but you won't hurt her feelings if you say you just rather sit and listen to your music or surf the web on your phone. Sage who does my hair. She can do any kind of hair, color, highlights extensions. If you're a guy you need a haircut or a little kid you need a haircut then Sage is your person. You've got Denise who does waxes, eyebrows, facials and a whole host of other things. There are additional Hair & Nail estheticians in the salon but I just can't remember their names at this time. All I can say is as soon as they get it a masseuse in I will be spending my entire Fridays in there. Thank goodness they are all young, well young based on my age. This means they won't be retiring soon and I will have Melissa and the whole crew for a long long time. If you are time oriented and need an appointment they are perfect if you just need to drop in they are perfect but I do suggest you call ahead if you want to drop in because they are just that busy. And one more thing you get what you pay for. You go to a cheap salon where they push people through like animals to a slaughterhouse, you get sloppy jobs. You come here and you get a super professional job and well worth every penny to look as beautiful as you can be. I dare you to be as beautiful on the outside with the help of these ladies as you are on the inside. This was written from my experience and my heart.

    Let me start by saying...Melissa did my nails and I LOVED them!…read more I no longer live in Merced, but I am in town frequently to visit my family. I received botched acrylics from a nail salon in LA and I desperately needed them fixed because I couldn't look at them any longer. Melissa fit me in last minute for an appointment. She took her time fixing/reshaping/polishing my nails even though she knew I was from out of town and wouldn't be a regular client. Aside from being a talented nail tech, Melissa made the experience enjoyable because she is very friendly and easy to converse with. I wanted several specific colors and she calmly took the time helping me find them as well as the right jewels. The salon is also very clean & cute! I'd recommend this place (and Melissa) to anyone. Honestly, I wish I could come get my nails done here over any of the places I've been to in LA. It's nice knowing there's a great spot in Merced to get my nails done while I'm in town.
