Poor shaping
Melanie C.

The husband and I visited this establishment a week ago today, mani/pedi for both of us. While the pedicure was great and the ladies who serviced us were very skilled and professional, the gentleman who did my nails did a very poor job. No care went into his work, rushed; just an ugly and disappointing job. He didn't even trim my cuticles. And his demeanor didn't even make me comfortable enough to voice my concerns.

Nails done by Maggie

Maggie is so amazing at bringing all my visions to life. I have been coming to her for over 5 years and highly recommend her.

Hi Lena, I wanted to leave honest feedback because I've never had this issue before. I got my nails done on May 8th, and within a short time they started feeling brittle and crumbling/chipping much earlier than expected. Looking closely, it also appears the dip powder may not have been fully cured or sealed properly because you can still see tiny white spots throughout the nails. I usually don't experience this with fresh sets, so I was disappointed, especially since I initially liked how they looked. I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully this helps with future services.

Beautiful wall decor

The vibe and atmosphere felt so welcoming and the aesthetic is otherworldly! Go to David for a pedicure, he really took care of my feet, and trust me, they really needed some love! Thank you David, thank you staff! Highly recommend this place

Acrylic Set
Kacey S.

Our service was amazing and the techs were so friendly! The location was absolutely beautiful and clean. I loved the pedicure chairs and they seemed brand new. It was a very chill, but busy vibe.The rates are affordable and prices shown up front! Super happy we were recommend this place and will be back!!

Nails by Cici

For the loooooongest time I've struggled with finding the right nail artist but yesterday I came across Cici and omg. She did an amazing job! I showed her my inspo pic and she did really good at mocking it. Safe to say I finally found the perfect nail salon! Thanks Cici

Airbrushed Ombre
Celly W.

Hands down the BEST place I've been too! Im so glad i found this place on yelp. I walked in and i was greeted instantly, the place was clean and staff was friendly. I came in for a fill and they were able to get me out within an hour. I showed them a picture of what i wanted and it turned out better. I highly suggest to take your business here i am now a LOYAL client.

Nail extensions (polka dots-blue)

I treated myself to a manicure and decided to try nail extensions for the first time. The price was reasonable, and the results were even better than I expected--absolutely beautiful! As a busy working mom, this felt like a much-needed treat. Highly recommend--Tony did an amazing job. I'll definitely be back

Spectacular service and gorgeous nails!…read more Originally tried walking in on a Sunday with my mother in law but they were very busy and recommended we schedule an appointment for Monday. We did just that. Note: even on Monday they were very busy so this might just be a reservation only type of place. My mother in law got a regular polish pedicure and I got a full set of Gel-X nail extensions as well as a gel pedicure. I asked for a nail design (polka dots on cat eye) and showed them a reference photo and they did an amazing job! We left super happy with the quality of service and the cuteness of our nails. Definitely would come back!

Realized I was further than I thought I was and called back to make sure that they could take me in 20 mins vs 10 and they said ok. The lady on the phone did not sound friendly. I thought it was strange but did not think much of it. There was no warm welcome when I came in the same lady I assumed was on the phone just pointed at the screen and said "sign in", asked me which manicure service I wanted I said "the shortest one because I have to go". She said "you will be at station 2" and turned away, walking quickly. I followed her assuming, she was taking me to the station. No she was just walking away. How am I supposed to know how you number your stations? Hot day today and I was thirsty- other customer had drinks. I asked if they had any drinks, like water or such. The lady said "ya" and walked away, did not give me options and came back with a mini water. Ok. Whatever. I'm sitting there waiting for 10 mins 20 mins, assuming my appointment will start at any time now, mind you I was never updated regarding what was happening with the wait time. I finally asked and was told it would be another 10-15 mins! Why would you not tell me that on the phone? Or when I came in? Or when I told you that I was looking for the shortest service possible? I understand a walk in is a walk in but at least explain to your customers what is going on instead of making them sit there thirsty and wonder. This woman had no warmth, every time I asked her something I felt like she was annoyed. On top of that, there was nail dust at the station I was sitting in very obvious spots. I read through some previous reviews regarding people getting infections after services at this salon.The lady who was going to be doing my nails did not seem anywhere near done with the previous client. I decided to leave. Sad because I have been looking for a nail salon in this area-the search continues.

Jennifer was the person that took care of me today, and it seemed like she was on top of things, she did an excellent job with the pedicure. I believe she did pinch me once which hurt and I pulled my foot away. She realized that it had hurt, so she was very apologetic but she was good. Overall with the pedicure she accomplished was very good. It was the manicure that she did that was not good. I still have a lot of the extra skin on the side of my fingernails that could've been removed. She's not very good at a manicure is what I realized and without even asking me if I wanted them square or circular finger nails was the first downfall of it with the manicure. But then later, I told her I'd like them more round, because she was giving me square square. But she did her job and she did it good. The lotion they use to put on the hands is absolutely horrible. It smells terrible. I can't figure out what kind of sent it is but I'm getting home to wash it off you immediately. I didn't have enough money to leave her a great tip but I intend to go back and give her some more because she truly tried hard to do a great job, but I sort of felt a bit cheated with the part that they don't have circuit or fans to help dry out your basic manicure. And the other thing was they hardly said anything (like thank you for coming in hope you enjoyed the service... nothing to say please come back soon. Nothing of that sort, and not even like offering like a card. If you come in so many times. Even like it c e in a dozen times and you get the 13 month for free so I'm not quite sure if I will be back, but maybe I will just try to make sure that for what it's worth. They could at least try to also make the area of where the manicures are done A little more cleaner. We all are spending good money. They should be able to provide a clean area. When you go to sit down and the chairs are disgusting. I mean seriously. They need to be able to replace this cushions or the entire chairs with something. That's a little bit more comfortable and if you're going to have a fabric chair, you need to at least put plastic on it. So that way they're not soiled and you're able to clean them off because the all of disgusting and everybody's going and sitting on them with all kinds of stains. I don't know where the states have come from. But it looks pretty nasty. Altogether will I go back??? Thats a big maybe

Rude, impatient, and completely unprofessional…read more I decided to give this place a second chance after having a horrible experience when they first opened. I had posted a review then, and the owner reached out and wanted me to take it down. They redid my nails and asked me to post a positive review. Which I did. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that was a mistake. The review I posted a few years back was after a horrible experience. Second chances? I dont know ... Lesson learned. As a mom, opportunities to take time for myself are few and far between. I had arranged childcare, planned a much needed day of relaxation with my best friend, and was genuinely looking forward to a peaceful, enjoyable experience. Instead, we were met with hostility and an incredibly unwelcoming attitude from the moment we walked through the door. The woman who "greeted" us seemed visibly irritated by our presence, as though we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. When I explained the service I was interested in, she rudely informed me that they didn't offer it. Thinking there may have been a misunderstanding, I politely tried to clarify what I was asking for. Rather than listening or offering any helpful explanation, she responded with an even more dismissive and disrespectful tone. The entire interaction was so uncomfortable and unpleasant that we decided to leave before receiving any services. I completely understand that businesses may not offer every service a customer is looking for, and that is perfectly fine. What is not acceptable is making customers feel unwelcome, embarrassed, or like a burden simply for asking a question. A little kindness, patience, and basic professionalism go a long way, especially in a business where people come expecting to relax and be taken care of. After two negative experiences, I have absolutely no desire to return. It's disappointing that a day I had been looking forward to was soured by something as unnecessary as poor customer service. I will not be returning, and I certainly would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

When we sat down right away we didn't have to wait, I've told the lady I wanted an acrylic fill and nail shape change to almond, lady responded "okay but it's $10 extra charge." And I agreed with that, then I wanted chrome I wanted a green chrome color. I think she found what she looking for the nail last responded with"it $5 extra charge you want!? " I said no. Then she's started cleaning hear station and while filing my nails she started talking to her colleagues in their language I couldn't understand of what was being said but very unprofessional. While she was filing my nail; the nail lady filed down my nails a lot harder than before. And when she was filing my shapes to create the shape that I chose; I looked at my nails I didn't say anything yet. The nail lady said" what's wrong with nail?" I answered my left thumb and ring finger is crooked." Then she said " I know I'm not done." I sense attitude from her and kept her to her colleagues in their language. (She kept on talking to her colleagues in the entire appointment and spoke to me and husband in English). Over all experience was fine not the best, I like the overall shape of my nails but the quality wasn't best. There are some spots that are properly filled down and uneven buffing, the acrylic application was not properly it's uneven and she's the wrong tools for filing and buffing my nails. I never once was used a proper tool or even sterilized her after she used them. All of tool were dirty. (She use the same brush to wipe dust on my nails and use the same brush to dust off dirt/dust on the counter and used it again on my nails. VERY unhygienic!! )) We won't be coming because my nail lady gave me attitude and I didn't feel comfortable when everyone was speaking in their language and I don't know any what they are talking about, not professional. Lastly to end with this she didn't sterilize her tools and equipment.
