One star. I called ahead and was told acrylic removal would be $15. When I went to pay, the total…read morewas $17. I assumed maybe there was a card fee, even though I used Apple Pay, but then I heard the girl at the front say she added a $2 tip herself. I never authorized a tip. I did not argue because I was ready to leave, but adding money to someone's total without permission is shady and completely unacceptable. The sanitation was also a major concern. The nail clippers were not opened from a new package, and the drill bit did not appear to be fresh or newly sanitized before being used on me. The floor was dirty, there was dark buildup between the tiles that looked like possible mold or heavy grime, and the same old dirty mop was being used to clean it. The entire place felt unsanitary and poorly maintained. I would not recommend this salon. You are better off finding a private nail tech who takes cleanliness, quality, and honest business practices seriously.

Great nail salon! (And I am picky, lol)…read more The appointments are easy and convenient to book online, prices are transparent and fairly priced, and service is stellar. Location is optimal, shaded parking is usually available (which is needed in this heat), and boutique is clean and has an elevated feel. The girls here are super sweet, friendly, and accommodating. There's a lot of diversity here, in terms of both employees and clientele. Service is stellar. A very comfortable environment and experience overall. I really love this establishment and the vibe. If you get a chance to select Natalie, I highly recommend her :)

I got a mani with Mia and a pedi with Tammy, and these ladies definitely know how to give you the Princess treatment. I went with the champagne and rose pedicure! Wow! It was a total spa: sugar scrub, champagne rose rinse, collagen socks, warm towels and hot stones. What's not to love! For the manicure I chose the Zen builder gel. This one has literally become my favorite because I've noticed my nails have gotten stronger as opposed to brittle and that's a win in my book! I am also loving the chrome look so fun! I catch myself staring at my nails every five minutes definitely obsessed! Bonus points because they weren't packed on a Saturday, which made the whole experience feel so relaxing. Is it a splurge? Absolutely. Is it birthday-worthy? Also absolutely!!

I've visited this salon five times. Initially, I was impressed by the modern atmosphere and…read morecomplimentary beverages. However, by my fourth visit, I noticed that the white chairs in the lobby were looking extremely dirty. When something that visible isn't being maintained, it naturally makes you wonder about the cleanliness and upkeep of everything else. For such a new business, it seems to be declining much faster than expected. As for customer service, it appears that the best treatment is reserved for customers spending large amounts of money or those requesting certain technicians. I specifically requested Brenda, an amazing nail technician who happens to be Hispanic. The moment I asked for her, the receptionist visibly rolled her eyes and appeared annoyed. She directed me to sit in the front area, while I noticed other customers arriving after me were seated comfortably in the booths. My biggest concern is pricing transparency. During my most recent visit, I was charged $110 before tip for an overlay, cat-eye polish, and a simple design. The receptionist broke down the charges as $40 for cat-eye, $25 for the design, and $15 for chrome. The chrome charge only appeared after I questioned the total, which made me feel like additional fees were being added to justify the price. I genuinely believe I was overcharged because I requested Brenda. To put it into perspective, the customer sitting next to me paid only slightly more but had significantly longer nails and a much more intricate design. Because of this experience, I strongly recommend asking for a complete price breakdown before sitting down for service. This business has potential, but inconsistent pricing and poor customer service at the front desk will hurt its reputation if not addressed. I am giving it one more opportunity because Brenda does excellent work, but management should take customer concerns seriously and ensure pricing is fair, consistent, and clearly communicated.

I have been coming here for years but was disappointed with the service lately. Prices not clear,…read moreadditional costs are the bottom of the package. In my opinion they should be more by the package prices or made clear by worker. However, it was my fault for not checking. Workers get mad when you don't get gel, since you'll be sitting there waiting longer. Also, they even tried charging me for the flip flops you walk out in. So disappointing, it used to be one of my favorite places.
