My tech dug around in the foot bath sink basin with one of the nail tools she then tried to use on my toes. The gentleman working on my mom's feet used gel polish without her permission, and when I asked why her toes were being cured, he glared at me and told me he "knows what he's doing". Not a place we'll be returning to.

He came back wreaking of the smell and it was beyond unprofessional. He was clearly not experienced and unskilled. He kept telling me to relax and was moving my arm around like even touching my forearm and elbow, it was so weird. This experience was terrible and I will never be going back. He also told me my finger was crooked so also a mean person. Hated it!!

I went in for a French tip pedicure and after numerous times of saying that the line needed to be thinner I finally gave up asking because it just was continuously getting worse. I was then given an excessively long calf massage that left me with muscle pain while the technician watched the soccer game. When he was done I told him I still needed a manicure to which I was told they had no gel polish. I looked up and directly in front of me at a wall full of gel polish and to top that off a woman getting her nails done... with gel polish. I have come here many times to get both of these exact things done before. I am so disappointed, neither me or my family will be returning.

I had an appointment for a pedicure, we got there on time but there was still a wait (about 20-30 minutes) because they were so busy. The pedicure was awesome, and they did a great job. The salon was clean and the decor and general feel was awesome. The owner, Nikki, seemed to know just about everyone who walked through the door by name. You can tell she has a very personal relationship with all of her clients. All of her staff was very friendly as well and made sure I felt comfortable.

My fingers were burningggg. I tipped 20% bc I was not about to cheat Nikki out of the time she spent on the designs. However, now that it's been months since I had those removed, I can tell you rn that the damage done was almost permanent. I wish I still had photos, you can see how badly damaged my nails were. They have been so fragile from the guy who was filing them, and using way too fast of a rotation setting while buffing the acrylic gel down. I can go on and on and on. Seriously, skip this place.
