Pays attention and always does my nails as close to the way I prefer and close to my vision as possible. I'm always happy to see her for a new set. I got a simple French tip today and they obviously look great, but she's done a lot of other great designs for me, cat eye, a tone toned neon French tip, nail art, etc. Most of my visits to 2EM have been awesome, I have gotten my nails done by a few different ladies here before and a lot of them are great

I asked to get my cuticles to get taken care of, when I called to book the appointment and again when I sat down with the nail tech. I asked for this because I know if the cuticles are not taken care of you'll need a fill much sooner and it doesn't look at good. Then with the nail art simple French tip. The thickness of the lines between nails and hands was off. I shouldn't have to highlight that, there should be enough pride taken in the work being done for things to be done well. I shouldn't have to be put in the position to tell you the quality is lacking when it's your specialty. So I left with well it just is what it is nails. Completely disappointed lowered it to one star because there's nothing like getting a set of nails done that looks like you already need another fill

Getting to the salon wasn't too difficult, some street parking wasn't too difficult. The salon had a cute and modern vibe to it! I was instantly seated by Tammy and she got to work. They had an iPad at each station, which really made my experience here relaxing. I had a hard gel set on, and Tammy did mention how they'd have to start clean and remove this set. I was charged for removal, which I wasn't the greatest fan of. I asked Tammy for a classic nude, white ombré with a bit of glitter on top, and she delivered! This is probably the best set of ombré nails I've ever had done!!! I've had many nail techs say how ombré nails look better on longer nails, but Tammy made things work with the nail length I was comfortable with! I was a bit skeptical of the longevity since it wasn't the hard gel I'm used to, but this set legit lasted me over FOUR WEEKS (with the exception of one nail that had gel-ex on because of some previous nail damage)! If I were in the area more often, I'd go back to Buttercup in a heartbeat!!!! They are on the pricier side, but you'll be paying for quality IMO.

They also put you in these super comfortable reclining chairs with blankets. It's perfect to take a nap. Only downside is that there is no parking, just 3 parking spots.

My friend and I booked an appointment on Sunday, we were so excited to get our nails done for a special trip. When I got there, to my surprise it was a male. I quickly looked on the Instagram and saw that the lady who ran the Instagram was actually in Vegas... Definitely a RED FLAG! Anyways he tells me what I want will be around $72 but because I had gel on it would be an extra $10 dollars because its from a different store. Okay, at this point I was pretty annoyed, and was expecting top of the line service. As he was cutting my cuticles, he actually cut me. Yes, I paid $90 dollars for someone to mother effing cut me. When my friend arrived who speaks better chinese, we found out he had only had 6 months of experience. He also cut my friend too and she was bleeding profusely. In conclusion this place is pretty shady: (1) very expensive for subpar quality (2) classic bait and switch, my nails don't even look like the picture I asked for because the guy doing my nails had no idea what he was doing! (3) it definitely did not seem clean (they used paper towels and he did not even wipe down the area with disinfectant after another client left) (4) if you don't speak mandarin very well it will be quite difficult to communicate in broken english

Manicure - I ended up getting a pink jelly gel nail and am really happy with the results! I showed a reference photo and the nail tech was able to help me pick out a color. Pedicure - For my pedicure I had a mixed experience. I wanted to go with a pink polish on my toes, however, I was asked if I wanted gel instead of polish 3 separate times because "polish will chip in 2 days". She also asked me which color I wanted on my toes 3 separate times even though I had picked my color already, and then ended up selecting a color for me. I'm happy with the overall results of the pedicure but the process itself was a bit stressful. Payment - I paid with card and tipped cash and was told "next time pay with cash". Overall, I was happy with the end results and the speed and availability, but there are some things service-wise that could be improved upon.
