It was busy right when they opened at 9:30am (good sign that it's popular) but they were able to sit me down and begin work right away anyway (well staffed!) 2.

The pedicure itself was thorough, professional and looked great 6. The massage was FAB 7. You can pay easily with Apple Pay, Venmo, card, whatever I was happy and on my way within the hour. What more could I ask for?

Her and her husband are so personable and kind. They always make sure you're taken care of. Nicky has been doing my pedicures for years now. She's so sweet and does a perfect job every time. I highly recommend her. I just recently started getting my acrylics done with Tiffany and she's amazing. Great attention to detail and perfect every time. Overall, love the team at GT Nails for taking such good care of me over the years!

Check in at the front desk with your phone number. Loved how clean the place was. Everything looked new and organized. It was easy on the eyes. Given I don't do any fancy gels/dips... I chose the GG Luxury pedicure ($60). They had me choose between lavender or eucalyptus for my treatment - i think it was the bath salts and the lotion for the massage. They used the entire packet. The pedicure was mid. I should've just gone with the regular pedicure. I had a male nail tech that didn't even bother filing down the sides of my nails after he cut it. Did not even clean the dry skin or clean under the nails. He did give a great massage (5 stars). I had to file the edges of nails when I got home because it felt sharp and was not comfortable. The nail polish was also done very thick. The pedi felt rushed but spent a lot of time with the massage. Overall, I think this would be a great place if you do gels/dips with the fancy nail designs. Just not for pedicures. Staff was really nice, just not the service I was looking for.

I felt bad because this other nail tech was supposed to do my nails, but I decided to request for Kris instead since the other artist said she can't do the complex designs I was wanting and luckily I saw Kris working today. I'm so glad. She does SUCH BEAUTIFUL designs and beautiful, intricate 3D art. You can tell she's a perfectionist and really cares. I rarely get my nails done these days, but if I need some nail designs for special occasions, I'll be back. See photos. She nailed my vision. I'm sooo happy. Thank you to Nancy for my lovely pedicure too!

I have been coming here for my pedicures recently and just wanted to submit some feedback…read more I have had a lot of pedicures done and the pedicure chair is comfortable, however where you rest your feet for the pedicure is not... its plastic and there is no cushion. After getting my pedicure done my foot was hurting from having to be rested on that area for over an hour at an angle. I am contemplating coming here again just due to that, most chairs have a cushion where you lay your feet and although it a small detail it is uncomfortable for the client. Other than that everything else was great and the techs are very nice just wanted to give some feedback. Ty!

Apparently I should've waited that first time, totally worth it. Kayla did such a good job, my hobbies are super hard on my nails and she made them look amazing. Their finish product selection is very diverse, and it was applied beautifully and the price was super reasonable, no need to go anywhere else from now on.

But, because there were only two employees there was a bit of a wait. We told them we could come back, but they urged us that they had time. The women work really hard and I feel badly giving a negative review, because the main issue was the lack of staff and support. It took over 2 hours from start to finish for a mani/pedi and by the end I was so ready to go that I didn't even fully finish my nails. Once your hands and feet are partly painted you're sort of stuck (which may be on purpose). By the time I left, my nails were not the color I wanted, and my toes smudged, but because it had been so long and was past dinner time, with other people waiting, I was just ready to be done and go home. I'm sad to say that Win Nails did not win me over.

I wish my camera had captured what a beautiful color this is. At least you can see the exquisite work!

Last week she did my daughter's hair for her birthday and it came out exactly how I wanted. Even though we were running late Abby didn't complain at all. She took her time and made sure my daughter's hair was absolutely beautiful for the special day. Every time I need my hair done I always go to Abby. She just knows how to fix it and bring it to life, she really does have magic hands. On top of her talent her customer service is unmatched. She is kind, professional, and makes you feel so comfortable. I would never ever go anywhere else to get my hair done. Abby is the best and I can't recommend her enough.

DO NOT GET YOUR NAILS DONE HERE I rarely write reviews, but…read moreI feel compelled to share my experience to warn others and hopefully save them from going through what I did. I went in for a manicure and pedicure and decided to try something unique, specifically the cat eye nail effect. Abby assured me she could do it, so I trusted her. What followed was nearly three hours of work that resulted in something completely different from what I had asked for. The extensions were poorly applied, with noticeable bumps where they were glued on. Abby seemed to sense my disappointment and offered to redo them, but with my limited availability, spending even more time to fix something that should have been done right the first time just wasn't feasible. She charged me $57 for both services, and I assumed she had given me a discount considering the poor outcome. I still tipped her well, acknowledging the time she spent. However, less than a day later, one of my nails broke. In all my years of getting my nails done, that has never happened so quickly or without reason. I had no choice but to return just to fix the broken nail. As someone else was repairing it, quickly and with noticeably better quality, Abby informed me she had forgotten to charge me the full amount and asked me to pay the difference. I found that extremely unprofessional. And to make matters worse, another nail broke the very next day. I will not be returning. It is clear she took on a service she was not qualified to perform just to make a sale. Completely unacceptable.

She's incredibly talented, detail‑oriented, and truly cares about making sure you leave feeling your absolute best. My nails always come out flawless--perfect shape, perfect polish, and they last way longer than anywhere else I've been. On top of her skill, she's kind, professional, and creates such a relaxing, welcoming vibe. She listens to what you want, gives great suggestions, and somehow makes my nails look even better than my last visit. If you're looking for someone who consistently delivers beautiful work and makes the whole experience enjoyable, Christine is the one.

it makes me so so sad to write this review because i was originally a ginormous fan of "the nail…read moreboutique," but after the service i received last week, i feel that i have to say something. last friday i had an appointment to get my prom nails done at 2:30 PM. when i arrived, i waited for over 45 minutes to receive my service. i was never offered water or anything (which honestly isn't a big deal but i just felt it was worth mentioning) but was also never really acknowledged. i almost felt like they forgot about my appointment. when my service finally began, i showed my nail tech my inspiration picture and she was confident and excited to recreate my vision. however, what i left the salon with is far from what i asked for. i left with a flower that is sloppy, none of the petals connect, and that has a big red circle with black lines, which is nothing like what i asked for. beyond that, i felt like my french tips were somewhat rushed and a bit sloppy. i don't expect perfection by any any any means, but i just generally felt neglected as a customer and a bit rushed once my service began. beyond this, by the time monday came, which was 3 days after my initial appointment, one of my nails had fallen off. this was a full acrylic set that i paid over 93 dollars for, and less than 5 days later, they were already falling off of my fingers. again, i feel really bad writing this because i dont want to tarnish their reputation or make them seem like a terrible buisness, but im just really unsatisfied and upset with the service i received, and really frustrated that i spent close to 100 dollars for a service that does not meet my expectations. i know that 100 might not be a lot, but im still a teenager in high school, and i work really hard at my job to make that money, so losing that much of my money is just hard. i just would advise that if you go here, you definetly keep your designs simple, and make sure to go at a time when you know they won't be busy so that your appointment is not rushed.
