I hate writing this because I've been coming here for years -- they know me by name -- but this…read moreexperience was bad enough that I won't be back. I came in for my recurring appointment and immediately felt rushed, like the goal was to get me out of the chair as fast as possible. When the service was "done," there was still gel clearly left on my nails (cloudy patches, uneven texture), and my natural nails were over-filed and thinned instead of properly soaked and removed. When I calmly pointed this out, the nail tech became defensive and rude, which honestly caught me off guard. I asked for the manager, and he didn't offer to fix anything -- no redo, no correction, no accountability. I still paid and left, but I had to go to another salon the same day to fix my nails. Paying twice to undo someone else's rushed work is not okay. If you care about nail health, not being rushed or talked down to, and actually getting the service you pay for, I'd proceed with caution. Being a regular didn't matter here, and that's the most disappointing part.

Services were good the first couple time and then a steady significant decline. The ladies are nice…read morehowever they have no problem packing human bodies in their tiny space like sardines. The male nail tech seems disgruntled and is low vibrational. The last 3 times he did my nails they either chipped, smudged or 1 nail completed fell off. It's a shame because he has potential to be an excellent nail tech if he can put his ego to the side and learn how to serve his clients. After giving me a new nail set at my last fill in appointment he told me my next appointment will be a new set: I told him no way. They seem to view their clients as walking ATMs--it's an uncomfortable feeling: They constantly badger you to do new sets, gel mani-pedis or expensive "spa" pedicures even after you've told them specifically the kind of services you want/prefer--it's more "them" focused than client focused. Btw,I was never thanked for my $20-$25 tips --ever. This last appointment took the cake--nail tech dude nicked my skin with his super sharp nail tool and blamed MY skin for "growing too close to the nail". This happened after leaving me under the fan for 15 minutes while he enjoyed a phone conversation right in front of me--so I knew it was because he wasn't paying attention--he seems resentful of his customers and unhappy to do this kind of work. When I arrived for my appointment (no such thing really because they treat everyone as a walk-in) he and a young girl didn't move to seat me, I had to ask them if they were working today in order to mobilize them--mind you I was the only customer. That said, I won't be back. I'm big on customer service and positive energy and I pay well for it, but it's not to be found there.

Was so relaxing I had to put my phone down and close my eyes! I definitely came at the right time. Was peaceful and serene. I'm already looking forward to the next time!! Happy Yelping!

Then he filed my toe nails uneven, however he did try to fix it-but he began filing the shorter side instead of the long side. He really tried to do his best I guess, but sometimes your best just isn't good enough. Not to mention 2 hours later my feet feel like cinder blocks again. I feel like for $60 I did not get what I paid for, and on top of that, this is the first nail salon that I've ever been to that has charged tax. This was my first and last visit.

Update: Tiffany, one of the managers, was super kind and gave me a call after my initial manicure…read more She offered a partial refund, which I was happy to accept as opposed to a full refund, as the work was still done and the resulting nails were fine. She also worked with another manager at the store and was able to set up my next appointment with a specific tech - I believe it was Emily. Tiffany was very communicative via both text and DM on there Instagram account, which I used to schedule my next appointment. She was also there when I arrived for that appointment to ensure things went smoothly. Emily was very attentive during my service, and ultimately I was happy with this set. I did SNS and Emily finished with a gel top coat. Since I prefer to not have gel that is cured by UV, I may not return regularly. However, this salon has a huge selection of not only regular colors, but specialty colors as well, such as cat eye and jelly polishes. Jelly polishes are definitely on my list to try in the future, so I'll likely be back for that. I very much appreciate the team's outreach and support after my last review, and it's clear that they care greatly for the service they can provide their customers.

Okay, first things first... the parking situation is dire. I wish one of the reviews mentioned…read moreparking, because the situation is in need of help. No parking in front of the nail shop and no validated parking. If you live in the building above it's great! If you're a college student and can walk it's also great! If you're not in one of those two categories... buena suerte. The nail shop itself is very clean and has the cool neon signs that are all the rage. The music consists of the top hits. During my visit I heard several Beyoncé songs. They also give you wine/sparkling wine to drink. So the vibes are all there. I got a pedicure and it was okay. I wasn't overly impressed. All things considered, it's cool but I don't see myself spinning the block (coming back).

I wasn't…read moresuper impressed before but I thought they had the typical amenities such as water, tea & perhaps coffee sitting in the waiting room. Today...nothing. I didn't see the ubiquitous large vessel od cucumber lemon water, little water bottle nothing. No tea. This is the first spa I've been to that didn't have water and tea sitting out. I wasn't even offered water as I was escorted back to the locker room. I would think hydration would be important to a spa. My masseuse, Tyesha was good. She did offer and bring me a water. That was nice, but I always like to sip tea or have water prior to and after my massage. I am sure they had it a few years ago. Not sure why not today. The Pearl in Columbia, MD and Relache at the Gaylord are definitely my faves. Not sure I will return to this one. Such a shame as it is so close.

Anyway, I was told up front that I could come back the next day if I wanted designs. I couldn't because it f my schedule so I went with the lady available. I was told she doesn't do designs but I needed them done. True to word it was basic but still good service. Fast forward to Sunday,, one of my nails cracked in the worst place ever. I went back. Greeted the moment I walked through the door. I explained what happened and I honestly couldn't remember the lady that did my nails. I was told to have a seat. I don't know the name of the lady that assisted me today but she's and Eagles fan She asked what shape did I want as my nails were more almond shaped than stiletto.. Not only did she repair the broken nail but she reshaped and relished all of my nails. In the end she didn't charge me a dime. Of course I walk around with no cash. I left ran an errand and came back with a tip. The first thing she said when I walked back through the door is you don't have to do that. I said to her neither did you. You took time and effort and that is worth it. Thank you

Good pics on Yelp, poor communication and treatment/ hospitality…read more. I called to schedule an appointment to ensure they had time for me and they answered yes. I walked in, was rushed to pick a color instead of greeted. Said I could grab some water, which was nice. The mumbling in Viet started as soon as I sat down, could really make you feel out of place. (Just because someone doesn't know the language doesn't mean they don't hear the tone and can pick up on context.) Cut me twice, apologized, and a couple other hiccups that I won't bother to mention. She lightened up throughout time, but I may have to give it a second thought before going again.. I still tipped well because the actual nails came out good. (My total ~$96.00)Not to my like, as she was not easy to tell what I wanted done. Lady came in right to the end of my service with an appointment, and needed to get acetone removed from her hands that lady doing my nails had wrapped in foil and said, "excuse me- can you--" (I'm sure her hands were either hurting or were uncomfortable), and lady doing my nails interrupted her loudly in front of the whole salon, to say she's almost done with me. I felt terrible for her since she had an appointment on top of that. The fact that there's a lot of competitors for you (Nova nails) should push you to improve in timing and care with how you talk to clients and be careful about what you say you can and can not do for a service. I'm still looking for a place that is both well at communicating with clients, and has the skill set for an awesome set. Please remember to treat people kindly. How you make someone feel is really important.
