    Disgusting
    Marina S.

    I wish I could give this place zero stars, otherwise I would. My first and last time here. First: the place is filthy. Unless you're looking for an infection, I would stay away from this dump. Their tools are not starilized. They just soak them in a filthy cup. Gross. Second: the lady asked me to pick colors on separate sections of the salon. Oh what nightmare. So disorganized and colors everywhere. I should've known better, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Well, she ended up charging me 3 dollars more for a longer lasting polish. She didn't say anything about the extra charge. Thridly: the entire family was there, talking loud next to my ear. Annoying as hell. Absolutely horrible experience. I guess the most important thing for me was their lack of hygene. And certainly really bad manicure

    Dip powder was used on my real nail.

    This is about a week after I got them done. They're dull looking, bumpy, and I had to reshape every single nail on my own with a nail file.

    Anna is the best!!!! I tell all of my friends to see her. I've never found someone that shapes my nails better!

    Done by Kaylee at station 10! My favorite salon. I highly recommend it :)

    Absolutely love it here. I refuse to get my nails done any where else. I also only go see Kaylee at station 10 she really does an amazing job and pays attention to detail! I highly recommend anyone that is looking for a reasonably priced salon with a good atmosphere and great technicians!

    Uneven and unkept

    I came in with an exact picture of what I wanted and was pretty disappointed with the result. Although my nails came with a manicure she told me I didn't need it and left my nails unkept. None of the nails were symmetrical or even. The color was also not applied properly and buy my cuticles looks smudged on and discolored. For $45 I would definitely not recommend coming here she seem to rush me out even though there was no people in line waiting. I won't be back!

    They did a great job! I was eating lunch while getting my mani/pedi and she was so helpful! Perfect during the workday!

    Updated: Management…read morereached out to me after seeing my reviews and provided a compromise. We came to an agreement. I am grateful they were responsive and willing to talk and even reconsider some parts of their policy. I am updating my review to reflect this update. 12/12/2025 I used to be a regular at this nail shop and this review does not reflect the nail techs, they are always nice. Unfortunately their lack of flexibility with their cancellation policy, particularly for long standing customers that have had multiple appointments is frustrating. I had to cancel my appointment same day due to an emergency and was immediately directed to the policy and given a cold shoulder when asked about rescheduling. After sending them a follow up message via their very active social media asking if there is anything they can do, my message was read and ignored and I was charged the full fee for my appointment despite their policy noting you COULD BE charged the full amount. You would think there would be a willingness to have a conversation or a professional courtesy to at least respond to a message you read. Given my numerous appointments (at least once every 1-2 months for the last two, maybe three years) and an obvious willingness to reschedule, a conversation could be had. I have referred friends and family here and it is unfortunate that the long standing relationship has to end because of their lack of warmth with customers. I get it, missing an appointment causes missed funds for the techs but if its a first offense or a long standing customer, you should value maintaining that relationship and business over a one time offense.

    Essential did my wedding nails and they unfortunately began to chip off immediately due to being…read morepoorly done. They refused to refund me and would only offer me store credit, which is very frustrating. It is highly overpriced and nail artists are very hit or miss in terms of both skill and attitude.

My last experience and aftermath with the current owner have driven me to take my business elsewhere. I got squeezed for time for my last appointment and had to skip my "lickety split" mani..which I get with no polish and just a nail clean up. I let Olivia know that we were tight for time and she thought she could get it in..well we didn't and I didnt even manage to to get the lotion or hot towels that were part of my pedi. I was still charged for it, The front desk said they weren't authorized to not charge for it. I had to talk to the owner who they said would call. Well..chased her down on and off for nearly 4 weeks. When I did finally get her, she came at me like a verbal pit bull school teacher. I was clearly off base for asking forgiveness for their "policy". Not what I expect from a business owner!!! And based on other reviews...I and not alone. Thank goodness, we have choices. I cancelled my next appointment and moving on...

    We have been coming here for 6 months with my daughter to get her nails done(she is 3). We usually…read morehave a great time and the nail tech is nice no problem- that was not the case yesterday I think it was because they were busy. We usually do walk ins and they have never been bothered by us but again they were busy when we came in and I not only had my daughter but the new baby and their grandfather who wanted to see how it all worked. Bad on my part so far- when we entered they saw us and were visibly annoyed- I felt awful but my daughter had been looking forward to this all week(I honestly should have left and came back when it wasn't busy) but we asked if they could do a walk in and I apologized- the lady looked around and then started helping another customer pick out nail polish- we waited patiently for about 5 min- standing there our group looking ashamed- the ladies that the worker was helping asked her to please help us first and she said no- something like we were fine(standing there with baby 3 year old and grandfather) after the ladies left they said it would be a minute- so they could take a walk in- we sat down and I felt even more embarrassed that we were just standing there. They quickly took my daughter back and she got her nails done as the baby laughed and giggled- but his laughs were too loud and I tried to get him to stop laughing but he wouldn't. My 3 year old sits quietly and knows to listen to the staff- when we go to pay they even touch up a little smudge she makes on her thumb. I can tell the nail tech that did her nails liked working with her she was smiling and happily helped- called my daughter honey/ sweetheart. When I went to pay a different woman checked me out and was visibly disgusted that I wasn't paying in cash-after I pulled out my car- in an obviously an annoyed voice she said can't you just pay in cash? It's just $10? I apologized again and she reluctantly took my card- I asked for the nail tech Venmo and tipped her $10 for the trouble. They were nice to my daughter but I felt they were unwelcoming to the rest of my party who was obviously sorry for inconvenience. Please if you come here make an appointment/call do not bring other guests they have limited seating and you have to pay in cash- I think the charge they have to pay for running a card is large and they don't want that- or it's a tax thing? Just try and be as low stress as possibly because these ladies can't accommodate everything. So sorry again- won't happen again

    I made an appointment and when I arrived and sat down the nail tech told me that she was double…read morebooked and couldn't do my nails, very rudely I might add. I then asked if someone had time to just soak off my gelx. It took an entire hour because three different techs came back and forth to keep checking on me to soak them off. See picture for how they left my nails after the $20 soak off.
