TERRIBLE!!! I have never in my life been to a nail salon this bad. I went 6 days ago and got a gel pedicure which over the phone they said was only $50 then when I got there they charged me $55. The pedi was awful didn't get any of the skin off my feet, barely rubbed my feet, and worst of all my gel polish is chipping off already 6 days after my pedicure. I also got my nails done and they have a price board in the salon, I don't recommend reading anything off of it because it's WRONG. I got a basic acrylic overlay fill-in which I thought was $30 based on the pricing board, and when I checked out they told me my nails were $65. When I asked about the pricing they told me they charge $5 to cut your nails, another $5 to file your nails, and another $5 to shape (even though my nails were already shaped in almond prior to arrival). Oh and btw my gel acrylic nails are also chipped after 6 days!! I have never been to a nail salon where they charge you for cutting and filing your nails, but since they do it'd be nice to have this communicated!! Especially since they are dealing with college students! Service was good so it's unfortunate that my experience was so poor! DEFINITELY WONT BE GOING BACK AND I DONT RECOMMEND THIS NAIL SALON TO ANYONE!!! Would rate a 0 if I could read more

They do amazing work and very nice people!! Nati is beyond excellent!! I highly recommend this experience because that's what you will get!!

The first time I came here was on an incredibly busy Sunday afternoon so I didn't think it was very fair to judge a place when it was super busy, honestly I'm shocked they still took me cuz they stayed past their closing to finish up all the customers. This time when I came in it wasn't super busy, I just walked in , they kindly greeted me and told me to sign in and then immediately started. My nail tech was super sweet, and I'm naturally an awkward person but she made me feel like we've been friends and just catching up with life. And for the pedicure Heather, did a fantastic job too. She was very thorough and also very kind. The environment had great energy and you could feel like everyone treated each other like a family. Over all a 10/10 read more

Cute little nail salon, loved the interior design. The owner, Nati was super sweet. Loved her vibe! But as for my nails; I HATED THEM. I wanted long, sculpted, straight nails. The lady, who's name I didn't get, who did my nails started to glue on curved nails. I stopped her to tell her that I wanted them sculpted and straight. She assured me that she knew what she was doing and that it would turn out straight. The end process was horrible. I had acrylic all over the edge of my nails I had to go home and clean it and my nails were CURVED just as I thought it'd be! I ended up having to go to a different salon to get them all soaked off and redone. I was pretty upset due to the fact that I told her from the beginning and she just kept going. read more

Natie was on vacation and the nail tech that tried to paint my toes and do my nails did such a horrible job. Not only was I the first person there, they made me wait a ridiculous amount of time. I'm sorry Natie, you've been great in the past but the experience your other nail salon staff gave was just way sub par. I wasted 4 hours there. Then went directly to another salon to fix the hot mess. Some staff was kind, however, the nail tech that day was extremely rude, and truly didn't know how to do nails. I will not be back and I don't recommend anyone go unless the owner is there to do your nails. I've debated sharing this experience. What should have been a 2 hour job to get my nails done became a 5.5 hours job and going to another salon to get my nails to look decent. Horrible experience.. I couldn't recommend anyone go to any other nail person besides the owner. She was on a trip and her staff really wasted my time, hurt my cuticles multiple times and did an extremely unprofessional job. I didn't leave with my toenails looking like that, I never complain but I had to and I hated the entire experience. Will not be back. read more

I'm an otr truck driver and have had my nails done in 11 states and more than 2 dozen cities. My go-to nail set is pink and whites basically, pink powder acrylic ombred with white powder acrylic, stiletto shape medium length with a gel top coat. Within 2 mins of me sitting down I was told it couldn't be done unless I got a new set! Very bizarre but I hauled ass out of there because price gouging is real. I honestly feel like the quality of my current (outgrown) nails couldn't be matched to be honest. This is a first for me considering how many other salons could execute my basic fill-in request. I will admit that this is a weird lil town and my hopes weren't high to start with. I'd suggest the techs take a refresher class cause come on who tells someone "if we do it, it won't look good" I just took her word for it lol. read more

Worst nail experience I've had in a while. My nails were very thick and misshapen. Not to mention the tech couldn't speak English don't think I've ever been anywhere that uses Google translate to communicate services. It's Also very very unsanitary and I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

I went in to get my nails done and within 24 hours they all had popped off like press on nails. The lady that done them was not very friendly. read more

Well, first off, they cut my nails down to the quick which I was not happy about because two nails were bleeding and was painful. Shortly after I got home, one of my nails came off. The next morning, I went back and I tried to explain to the girl that I only needed one nail filled in but, they ended up redoing everything. I had to stay an hour and a half. Low and behold, the next week, my nails started coming off again! They ended up charging $45 for a fill in, although half of my nails had come off and I was charged for their mistake. Beware, they have inexperienced nail techs! This was certainly not a good experience for me! read more

Owners/workers are SUPER sweet and kind. Loved the inside of the salon, very pretty and well set. But, I HATED my nails. I asked for hot pink and got dark RED. They were super clumpy (sns) nails. They were done by a VERY young inexperienced girl, who clearly didn't know what she was doing. read more

This nail salon is my favorite! Great environment, customer service, and cleanliness. They really go above and beyond here! I will never go to a different salon! The owner and the others there are the kindest people and really cater to what you want done! I highly recommend this salon, plus it's not a chain of corporate it's a small business which makes it so much better. They really take their time with the smallest detail. Please go here and support small businesses they are AMAZING! read more

The worst nail shop ever the owner was super kind and sweet great vibes from her but I cannot believe 2 people were working on me first they had a teenager a super young girl doing my toes in the beginning next was the actual " nail tech " who did not remove my previous gel polish she just buffed here and there then put the white on top it looks so bumpy on my toes like it doesn't look nice and smooth as for my nails I seriously could've just done them myself might as well because I constantly had to keep telling this lady how I wanted it she made my French tip nails thicker on one hand and thinner on the other then I had to keep showing her the differences and she was getting annoyed but if you can't do nails what do you expect ?? I wasn't even trying to be rude but that whole salon needs a revision on who should actually work there and be nail techs. read more

I went here a little while ago. The nails are good quality, they have lasted for a really long time and they don't seem to want to come off anytime soon. The workers were quite unprofessional though. My friend and I made an appointment and was still there for almost 3 hours. All we got was a full set. We went into the salon at about 3:00pm and did not leave until a little after 6:00pm. Another friend of mine went to lunch, drove half an hour to another city, got their nails done and made the half an hour drive back all in the time that we sat in the salon. We were moved around a lot and had about 3 people do our nails. I left happy with my nails my friend on the other hand did not. She expressed that she was not happy, but was convinced that she liked them. They were also all different lengths and thicknesses. The nails were definitely not worth the money and especially not the time. read more
