I have really loved this place in the past! Always decent pricing for how good the quality was, and…read moremy Gel X always lasted 3+ weeks , still looking relatively fresh by the end. This week was first time back in a while, and I just went with the first available stylist because Bryan was out of town. I got medium-length gel x with chrome powder and no design, the same on all nails. I was expecting some sort of prep or manicuring of my cuticles and nails, as my nails were ineven lengths and I had lots of hangnails and excess skin from picking (which is the reason I was getting my nails done in the first place, it is impossible to pick skin with thick/dull extensions!) The only prep was sanding down the top layer of nails, which did help some with the excess skin near the cuticle When I left, I noticed many of my cuticles were flooded with gel, some of the side walls weren't painted, and the nail shape was generally what I asked for, but every nail looks a little different from the others. I really love the color I went with, and the technician was very kind and accommodating to my preferences, so I paid with tip and left, as I didn't feel like it was worth making a fuss about. I went home and trimmed what I could of the flooded gel myself with cuticle nippers Now, 2 days later, nearly all of my nails have the gel polish chipping off the gel x apres tip, and there is visible lifting on more than a few of the sidewalls due to the gel flooding :(. There are visible bubble shapes in the top coat, and you can easily see the black polish under the chrome due to the chipping. I am only in town for a short while and likely will not have the chance to go back and fix it. They still look beautiful from others' perspective, but for $80+ I would hope the same is true close up. I know I could likely go back in to have them fix it, but I am concerned with the health of my nail beds, and one visit to the salon alone involves enough sanding and buffing of the nail that I am not sure if it will be worth it. Overall, I did have a lovely time while I was there: nice music, salt scrub, and the tech was very gentle with my hands. The result was not what I had experienced in the past, though. I would have to really want it and have a very detail-oriented technician to consider another visit in the future.

Up until a week ago I had visited the salon for mani/pedis which were always enjoyable. After a…read morebreak on fake nails for a couple of years, I decided I was ready to get nails once again. I arrived with no appointment, but i had called about 15 minutes prior to my arrival. I sat at the first table on the left side of the room (not next to the wall) with a mature technician. I showed her a picture of what i was wanting, more rounded coffin/oval shaped, and ombre natural to allow longer wear before a fill is required. I identified that I previously wore GelX, but was open to other options, but didn't want acrylic. She mentioned a couple of options, but she was difficult to understand. She understood my desire for ombre - i asked if she could do what i wanted and she said a very clear 'yes'. She started and asked a couple of questions of natural color preferences - i said that I would rely on her since i wasn't that picky. She started and was only the 3rd or so nail and a gentleman stopped by and was watching what she was doing and questioning what i was wanting. I explained i used to wear GelX but was open, but didn't want acrylic. He responded with "we do GelX. . . you do realize that's acrylic" - i didn't, but at this point i felt it was too late. I believe he was the one of the owners. She continued to do my nails and I became very concerned as i saw the fairly wide gap between the start of the acrylic and my cuticle. While I may be picky at times, the woman next to her was standing up and watching her work and chatting with her. Others stopped by to watch, including the same gentleman and a couple of other techs and I believe one of them was another owner. They all watched and never showed concern or spoke/questioned my Nail Tech. All i kept thinking was maybe there are different steps and once she continues my areas of concerns may be taken care of. Unfortunately, the product only got worse as she continued. Why didn't i complain? 1) I had already spent a good 1.5 hours in the chair and couldn't afford to waste any more time and 2) co-workers/owners watched throughout the entire time and didn't have any concerns with the quality of work at any time so I didn't expect anything to be different at the end. I've been in this situation with a quality concern quite a while ago and co-workers/owners stopped the work on their own and directed correction. Unfortunately, this didn't happen and I had to learn an expensive lesson. Not even a week later one of the nails broke off and I went to another nail salon which stated they needed to be fully removed as they were done wrong and were very much already lifting away from the nail bed. With all of this, I wouldn't have an issue with a mani/pedi at this salon but will not return for fake nails.

I didn't even use gel. I decided to do regular polish after the first failed attempt because I realized I was being way overcharged gel and a design that they were not able to deliver.Overall they're very overpriced but I would not take the gamble there again. I left with visible smudges and a mess all over you don't need to be a professional to see that that was clearly sloppy work. shame on that lady for looking At my feet and making me pay to leave like that.

It's been a while since I've updated my review and worth and update since they've changed ownership…read moresince my last review and they've made some changes over the years. Most importantly though, you can still reliably get a killer manicure and pedicure here. The attention to detail and level of care given is incredible. My faves Pink and Tina are still knocking it out of the park with the most impeccable manicures I've had and I really can't see myself trusting my nails with anyone else. And I've caved and tried a place or two over the last couple years and regretted it. Won't make that mistake again!! What's changed? I'd say they've added more staff to keep up with the demand. You still should always try to make an appointment. I don't go anywhere these days without an appointment. And they also have added a number of services including their new head spa services that lol pretty amazing. If I didn't already go for regular massages I might consider it. They also have all the trendy gels and dips and builders and that you might be looking for. Oh, and they recently upgraded all their massage chairs! How could I forget that!! I definitely highly recommend the Hand & Foot Spa. Again, just make an appt and be sure to get there on time. They're sticklers for keeping on time. Which, as a regular, I appreciate because nothing would annoy me more than having an appt and having to wait to I'm happy they are like that personally. Keep up the good work guys!!

I chose not to do gel just because I wanted to give my nails a breather. Anyhow, one of the techs came and got me and sat me at her chair. I asked for the manicure first so that it can dry while I was getting my pedicure. She was listening to her AirPods when we first started, but then I started telling her about my cuticles being sensitive and to just be cautious. She seemed very sweet. Anyway, the manicure was done and she put oil on my cuticles. She didn't say anything about a massage and I assumed since I got a regular manicure that she was going to wait for it to dry or something. I probably should've said something then, but normally when people get manicures, they want a massage too. Anyhow, we proceeded over to the pedicure station, which they have really nice chairs. I don't know if they offer water or anything, but she did offer me anything. Anyhow, we started talking about the tea shop next-door and how delicious it was. She seemed very kind and then the pedicure was over and there was a lot of lotion still left on my feet and she put my slippers on. After afterwards, she took me straight to pay and said it was $55. I asked her if I wasn't going to get a massage on my hands and if that wasn't a normal part of the manicure. SHE SAID IT DEPENDS ON THE TECH! She said some people don't like it so she doesn't give one unless it's asked for. I'm sorry, are you kidding me? You don't give a massage on hands when someone is coming for a manicure? How about ask me before you put polish!!!??? Are you for real? I was so baffled! She stood there while I checked out so I felt obligated to tip her. I was infuriated! I asked her again about the massage and I told her that I wanted a massage. She did not offer to do it and she did not have anyone else waiting. Decent conversation doesn't equal a tip for me, service does! Anyhow, I walked out of the shop and I was sliding in my sandals. I decided to come back in and ask if I can sit there until they were dry. A lady put me in the sitting area and turned on the fan underneath. I then grabbed my own towel from the handwashing station and wiped the lotion off my feet so that I wouldn't slip and fall. She went outside and she was on her phone. Then about 10 minutes later, another girl walked in and she went to her table in the back. She had plenty of time to do my massage on my hand, that I paid for! I am so mad right now I cannot believe that I even wasted my money here. I won't even mention her name, but she sits all the way in the back. How disgraceful! She didn't even make any eye contact when she came back in with her other customer. Who gets a manicure without a massage? And for $55! What a shame.

Unskilled filing left cracks up the nails that came up very painfully. I say "they" because the appointment was always with Cecilia but the owner/husband would always grind and file before she grinned and filed some more. Nails were always overworked, sore and raw before first brush. And the man was always a bit too pushy and touchy for my taste.
