This is the second location of the family's own business. I started visiting this shop because it…read morewas closer to my house. Some time ago, they raised their prices and stopped. After visiting a few other places, I decided the quality of the work was worth the price increase.
The Nail Techs
There are a few new employees at this location that I haven't worked with yet. However, the three that I have are amazing. They have excellent attention to detail and strive to give you the shape, color, and style you want.
Stephanie, for example, is great at color matching. She has an eye for it, and I love getting a bubble gum color dip from her. Stephanie is friendly and loved by all her customers. She has one of those personalities that get along with many, and you can't help but love her for it. She books up fast, as do most.
Kieu is the owner and has an incredible memory. You can expect to be imminently greeted by her when you walk in, and if you have visited the salon before, she'll even greet you by name. It always makes me feel like we are lifelong friends. I have been going to this salon for about two years now, and I have not always had a positive experience. However, there has never been a complaint she has not addressed and attempted to fix. This is one of the many reasons I keep coming back. Most salons will do good work, but how they respond to unsatisfied customers keeps them long-term.
Kieu strives to do right by her customers and trains her staff to provide the highest level of service, which you can tell by everyone's quality of work. Her clients have been going to her for decades, and although she looks VERY young, she is a strong, talented business owner.
Ashley is the most recent stylist I have been visiting. I love how she checks in with me by painting one toe or nail first to make the selected color I want and doesn't hesitate to switch if I ask. She has incredibly strong hands, so her massages are heavenly. She jokes with me about adjustments I ask her to make but doesn't hesitate to do them. I feel comfortable getting my nails done with her and experimenting. Sometimes the experiments don't go as expected, and she is willing to adjust for me. Her laid-back, friendly personality is contagious, and her quality of work matches.
I have to confess, I really like my nail tech here and don't want to risk losing her to someone else. So, as much as I'd love to share the secret of this amazing salon with everyone, I'm mostly kidding when I say don't book with her. You're more than welcome to book after me, but be warned - you might fall in love with her too!"
In the past, I used to struggle with speaking up to nail techs if I wasn't completely satisfied with the color or shape of my nails. It made me feel uncomfortable and discouraged me from returning to those salons. However, I appreciate that this salon is different - they're very accommodating, but that doesn't mean they'll tolerate unreasonable demands. It's important that we communicate with kindness and respect. Kindness is vital here!
The place is always very clean, and if you need a new nail tech, I recommend you try this salon. I've come here for a few years now. They no longer do regular polish, so read all their services and updated pricing online.
