    Top coat all over fingers, not a clean finish

    Scheduled an appointment and still waited THREE HOURS. Just a mani-pedi, only two other customers there. Maybe I'm being overly critical, but that's not exactly my idea of a busy night. If they are that understaffed they NEED to function as appointment ONLY. I wasted three hours, nails don't even look much better than something I could have done myself. I asked for silver, pointed to the gel I wanted in the book and it came out looking nothing like the reference. It came on clear, so they just put black polish underneath. They put the top coat on so sloppy, my nails look messy with top coat all over my fingers. Do NOT go here unless you have many hours to spare and $60 to waste, even with an appointment the experience was ludicrous and overpriced.

    DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! I don't even know where to start. I can here with one of my friends and we were both getting full set acrylics. I asked for French tips and even had a very clear photo reference. One of the workers there rudely shammed us for our "unhealthy" nail habits. The entire time, he was pushing and pulling our hands around very aggressively. He then painted my nails a pink color with out the French tip. When I told him that's not what I asked for, he rolled his eyes at me and started arguing with me even though I had made it clear from the beginning that I wanted French tips. The nails turned out horrible, very uneven and messy. The service was even worse. The man who did my nails left multiple times to smoke weed, which I could smell on him every time he came back inside!!!!

    After being disappointed time and time again, my daughter and I were afraid to choose another nail salon. This salon was a cut above the rest! The salon owners treated us like royalty. Sometimes you go into a salon and feel as if you're bothering them, not here! It was staffed by only two people, possibly a husband and wife. They worked together wonderfully. When I asked if I could have a design on my big toe on each foot, the nail tech actually got excited. I didn't have to go into great detail, she did a beautiful job and never tried to up sell me. The pedicure was thorough and relaxing. I'm so glad we finally found our "go to" place for all mani's and p

    Incredible workmanship

    From the outside you may not think this place is the greatest but do not judge this book by its cover!!! They are wonderful!!! I'll never trust anyone else to do my nails. Such a sweet husband and wife who do perfect work and are simply fantastic!!! Oh, and no stinky "nail salon" smell! I don't know how they do it but it's so refreshing to be able to breathe in a nail salon for a change

I'm kinda high maintenance when it comes to my nails and she's always so accommodating. I saw Abby and although she's a new, young tech, she's sweet, attentive and skillful. Highly recommend. Support this woman owned business!!

    Really 3 and a half. They are friendly, and reasonably priced. I was squeezed in last min for my…read moredaughter's first birthday mani. Cons: The nail tech added her own twist to what my daughter wanted, which was thoughtful but not exactly what we were hoping for. (View pics) She asked if my kid liked hello kitty but she has tild me many times that shes "so tired" of hello kitty for the past year ( the kid is going thru a dark evil princess stage) My child was polite and said yes, not knowing her nail would get a hello kitty. I don't belive that she would do this to an adult tho. I did feel she did this will very good intentions. Pros: The tech was a sweetheart though and very inexpensive. In her defense, my child's nails are tiny and it was hard for her to be still. $10 for nail art doesn't deserve a complaint! I didnt feel so bad at end end of it all. I will continue to come here for a quick buff and polish for sure. I just won't opt for fancy inventions.
