    Glue and polish left all over her fingers ..
    Janira R.

    I must say I'm dissatisfied with the work they did today and that I gave away $80 of my hard worked money for sloppy work . Took my daughter for mani pedi and they rushed, left tons of nail polish and glue all over her hands . Not only is the shape "jaw looking," but when I asked they fix them , they insisted it's the shape of her nail . We have gone elsewhere and they have never looked like giant shark teeth . Never coming back .

    Tiffany did an awesome job
    Marie T.

    I needed a pedicure and looked to Yelp to find a place. After looking at pictures, I decided to come here considering how close it was to my family's house. Let me start with the good. They were able to accommodate me last minute. I did have to wait about 10 minutes when I arrived, but no biggie. Their prices were decent. $20 for a basic pedicure, not bad. And Tiffany did a really good job painting my toenails after. She took her time painting and even did the edge of the nail. Now for the negative and why I won't be back. The same tools that were used on the lady before me, we also used on me without being cleaned first. So gross!!!! I'm used to places opening a brand new pack of tools for each customer. And during the massage part of my pedicure, she was cleaning up her station. Which meant the majority of the massage was only with one hand. I was super bummed because that's my favorite part. Thank you for your time, but I will be looking elsewhere for a pedicure. P.S. cash only tip

    Nails done by Kim

    I got a manicure and pedicure done yesterday. The inside was very clean and nice. You can tell they take extra precautions to keep the place clean! There wasn't a wait so I got in quick, which I loved. They had a wide selection of nail polish;regular and gel. I got a manicure and a pedicure done by Kim. I LOVED IT!! She didn't try to over sale me and gave the best leg massage! I loved the color I got! She also did my acrylics, and I'm super picky and she did more than amazing!! I'm so happy I decided to come here. I will definitely be coming back to see her! If you're looking for a nice, clean, well- worth it salon, I would come here! The price was not bad for the high quality of nails!! Thank you so much!!!

    Airy and clean

    I've been coming here for a long while so this is overdue. Cindy and Stephanie have survived a couple of changes in ownership here, and that's because they have loyal clients! They do a wonderful job of really cleaning your toe and fingernails. None of this slapdash cut and paint. I almost feel like what they do is medically necessary lol--cleaning dead skin and ingrown nails and really keeping my nails maintained! Can't recommend them enough! Also, Cindy does great waxing--I wouldn't trust anyone else with my brows!! Highly recommend!

    Let me start off by saying, I was very skeptical about trying a new place. But I thought the reviews were very positive, so I drove on over. When I got there, I was greeted by everyone. Cindy started on my pedicure and Lyn started on my gel manicure. I was in and out in 40-45 minutes tops! Honestly the best work. I just moved to the area and I think this might be my new go to spot. Service was amazing and prices were just right! $25 for a gel manicure and 5 to remove the old gel and $20 for a pedicure. I was skeptical to pay $20 for my pedicure but I said what the heck. (I wish it include callus removal). The massage felt amazing and Cindy did a great job on my toes. (I'm not sure if I will be getting my pedicure every 2 weeks tho) Lyn really out did herself on my gel manicure! She is SO TALENTED AND CLEAN. My nails speak for themselves. No filter no anything!! My nails sparkled!

    Kim did a perfect job! Gel manicure looks wonderful. Clean and pretty! She was even careful about my cuticles because i have a bad habit of biting them! She made them look wonderful regardless! Thank you!!

    Pink gel with glitter gradient, so pretty
    R E.

    Came here by chance, while getting vegetarian Indian food next door and I'm sooo happy I did. I got the gel nails with glitter gradient. Service: Amy helped me right away, she was very professional, sweet and asked me exactly what I wanted. I told her something simply girly and pink. Quality: Beautiful, I showed her a pic of what I was looking for and I couldn't figure out what would look exactly good on me so she chose the colors and it turned out really nice. Amy did a wonderful job. Perks: There are A LOT of different glitter gradients to choose from, from pinkish gold to blue and silver and they're all pretty.

    All my cuticles were cut and bleeding

    I was the only person there. I asked for a gel pedicure and a full set of French tip acrylics. She managed to cut the cuticles on one of my big toes. The person who did my nails, cut 8 of my cuticles; painfully cut. My cuticles are extremely raw and sore. Definitely, but worth the $105 I paid for a manicure and pedicure

    Before & After - such a difference
    Nicole O.

    CINDY is an eyebrow WIZARD! My eyebrows are always terrible when I come in - bushy, overgrown, no shape or arch in sight (see top photo). And yet, somehow Cindy manages every time to craft the perfect eyebrow out of this mess (see bottom photo - the redness faded after like 5 mins, this was taken 30 seconds after I left)! I like to keep my eyebrows on the thicker side and Cindy doesn't overpluck or thin them out like other shops. Also, her services are really well priced - $10 (excl. tip) for eyebrows at the time of this review.

    The girls always take care of me so well! Last time I came in, I asked for a sort of ombré nail design and I walked out loving it-- going in tomorrow to get them filled. Thanks ladies(!!) **Last time I saw Kelly-- I wanted to have a more natural fill and she made my nails the perfect length, shape and thickness!! (See the natural photos I've attached after the pink ombré ones!)

    You can see the infection here
    Jessica L.

    I am someone who loves getting her nails done and my sister knows that and that is why I went to this place because my sister got me a gift voucher for Christmas. Yesterday I used my voucher on a gel manicure, pedicure and massages for $10 each on my arms and legs respectively. This was a total of $65...after tip it was $75. After I got my manicure and pedicure I went to work and noticed that my cuticles on almost all ten fingers were swollen, red, and painful to the touch. I had a cuticle infection from overaggressive manicuring and trust me that is no joke! I applied triple strength antibiotics to help ease the pain and swelling. I went back to this establishment today for a full refund and they did not give it to me. They only gave me back 50% of the manicure which was $13 only. That is some b*llsh*t! Let's hope I do not have a fungus infection too. The nails look nice, the ladies that did my nails are sweet, but this manicure and pedicure is now costing me a lot of pain and I will have to buy antibiotics to get rid of the cuticle infection. I would post a picture but I do not know how to yet. Edit: I posted pictures

    Thank you Lynne!

That was around the time when the nail tech walked over to me for the first time to ask if I had chosen a color, not when my feet were in the water or when I was receiving the service, as I stated. She also walked away after the initial contact and returned a couple times, throwing supplies on her cart before proceeding. Regardless of that, my Zelle payment for tip was also confirmed at 6:54pm. So I do want to acknowledge that my time there was about an hour and a half total from my arrival/ appointment time. There was also not a "light residue" of the scrub left, there was literal exfoliating pieces/ beads and cream that I was able to scrape off my leg with my fingernail. There is no need to note my preferences as I will not be going back. If I had known that later appointments were known to be thrown off schedule, I would've just showed up late so I didn't have to wait. There was no update or follow up. While I understand it is the business owners responsibility to ensure all reviews are accurate, the repeated attempt to disprove what I stated was unnecessary when the issue still stands: my appointment time was not honored, i had literal pieces of scrub and gel on my leg, and someone used a cuticle cutter to PULL pieces of my toenail off without asking me. I understand these services are a luxury; I would not come in expecting to be waited on but I do expect basic communication and respect. The service and response were both disappointing.

She's an artist, a designer, and a true innovator. There hasn't been a single design I've shown her (even the most elaborate Pinterest inspo) that she couldn't pull off and she always manages to elevate it beyond what I imagined. I first came to Miyako in search of a nail artist for my wedding. Leading up to the big day, we experimented with a few different styles I had in mind, and she nailed every single one (pun intended). She also did my Barbie-in-Vegas-themed bachelorette nails, which were absolutely stunning. I felt like a bad b**** every time I walked out of her studio. What truly sets Miyako apart is her meticulous attention to detail. The shape, smoothness, and evenness of the nails are always flawless. Even with just a plain color, my nails would look like they were perfect press on designs. You can tell she's a true creative who deeply cares about her craft. I also really appreciated the one-on-one setting--it's just you and her in a peaceful, distraction-free space, which makes the experience feel that much more special. I'm so sad I moved away from RPV and can't see her regularly anymore--but I'll absolutely be making that 2-hour drive for special occasions. She's that good, and honestly, I haven't found anyone else like her!

There was probably 40-50 people inside getting their nails done. The lady at the front desk wasn't very friendly. I came for a pedicure with my sister.

It definitely feels a bit like a factory because once you're done they immediately want you off the chair so they can start working on the next place. At least they're efficient!

I sat there and watched people who came in after I did get full mani/pedi services while I was left wondering if I'd been skipped. I don't think all of them had appointments - I'm not kidding when I say I waited longer than anyone else. Once I got sat down, my service was so rushed. The tech wasn't outright rude, but seemed impatient and annoyed. My hands got snatched up roughly with cuticle trimming and filing being done so quickly that it hurt. It's disappointing to wait and wait only to get a rushed, and honestly a bit sloppy, service. Receptionist lady is also not very friendly. There are many, many nail shops that are better than this and treat paying customers better.

I've visited about four times now, and each trip just reminds me why I don't come back more often: while the men on the team offer fantastic service, the women working there consistently lack warmth, smiles, or basic hospitality the moment you walk through the door. The Good: The guy who did my manicure is amazing--super nice, friendly, and did a great job on my nails. The woman who handled my pedicure was also wonderful, and her work was top-notch. The Not-So-Good: The nail tech doing my design, however, didn't even bother to say hello. Throughout the service, she never asked how I was doing or checked if everything looked okay. My cuticles were left looking really rough, and she skipped the basic courtesy of applying any oil or lotion at the end. In fact, it was so bad that I ultimately asked her to skip the design on my ring fingers because I didn't want to draw any more attention to it. Ironically, my pedicure technician was the one who noticed how dry my hands looked and kindly handed me some oil. To top it off, when the tech finishing my nails was done, she didn't even say thank you. The Verdict: At $130 for a Gel-X set, the baseline expectation is that your cuticles will look presentable and you'll receive basic courtesy. If you go here, hope you get seated with one of the male technicians who actually cares about the client experience!
