I came in for a gel pedicure + removal on a random Tuesday afternoon. When first arrived, I was greeted by the owners husband (?). He checked me in and was offered water right away. Then the technician came to grab me and was seated right away. The interior honestly left me astonished because of how detailed and girly it is! They also offered some snacks on the side which I devoured (I didn't eat lunch yet lol). The technician was so detailed and ensure that the shapes are what I desired and same with the color that I wanted. The overall cost was affordable compared to what I used to pay and its gel!! I'll definitely be back!

The design was very detailed and custom, and she took her time to make sure everything was just right. What I really appreciated was her patience as my daughter changed her mind a few times, and Sophie handled it so graciously, making sure she was happy every step of the way. Emily was so helpful throughout the entire process, consistently checking in on us and making sure everything was going smoothly. She also checked us out at the end, making the whole experience feel seamless and easy. Melisa did my daughter's pedicure and was incredibly gentle.

These aren't even square and she kept cutting the side of my toe nails and filing them back when they were too short and hurt. I've been coming. Here for a long time this is probably the worst shaping I've ever gotten here. I could have done my own shaping better than that at home. Just ridiculous *** it was around 5-7 weeks since my last pedicure so my toes were not "really short" besides the big toe that broke. I added another picture to show that she was filing into my toe nails after cutting them super short as short as she could get them and made half of them round and tiny. She also cut the sides of the nails which you aren't supposed to do due to infection and hang nails. I asked her not to do this. there was no reason for her to cut the sides of my nails on one foot and not the other leaving with me with uneven toes. I appreciate the response but I feel that there should be an attempt to fix the situation instead of making excuses or insinuating that I'm making this up.

Today, though, was a completely different experience. I arrived a few minutes early for my scheduled appointment. They had me sit, choose my colors, and everything seemed normal. In the back room, I noticed two technicians available, just chatting. I assumed they needed a moment. Fifteen minutes passed with no update, which was unusual. Then an older woman walked in, sat down, and suddenly the staff told me, "She has an appointment, so we're going to take her first for her mani and pedi." I reminded them that I also had an appointment and had already been waiting 20 minutes. Their response was that she specifically requested them, and I would be seen "when the other technicians are done", even though those technicians were clearly busy and nowhere near finishing. My appointment was overlooked without any communication, and as a long‑time client, I was extremely disappointed. The only person who acknowledged me was the woman cleaning the nail stations, she was kind, brought me colors, and checked in. No one else did. Shame on you guys. I won't be returning, and it's clear why your reviews have been declining.

Michael has been cutting my hair for 14 years and counting. A friend of mine had referred me to Michael when I was looking for someone who could cut my straight Asian hair, which is course and grows unevenly. Some parts would stick out like a cow lick if they were cut too short or long. Michael was a godsend. He is both skilled and consistent. I like my hair textured on the top (if it's not done right - e.g., too short or not textured enough -it would look like a crew cut), smoothly tapered down the back and sides (with no bald spots/ridges or unevenness or hair sticking straight out), just the right length so I don't have to take more than a couple of minutes to style it. I have peace of mind that whenever I need a haircut every few weeks, I can text Michael for an appointment and have my hair cut just the way I like it. No worries, no hassle, no redos. He's also a great person. read more

I walked in when the place was empty and asked for "pool" nails and showed her pictures--She didn't know how to do it. So I asked for basic "tortoise shell" nails instead--She didn't know how to do it. I settled for plain cat eye polish however when I asked for a heart-shaped magnet effect--She didn't know how do it. To my astonishment she DID know how stickers work, so there's that I guess. Don't be like me and f*ck yourself over for having good manners and paying $90 for something you absolutely hate such as the way this nail salon gave me ugly shaped acrylic nails which look like the nail has already been growing out for a week... I gave the 1st star because there's nail polish on my nails when there wasn't before and also because google reviews start off by giving 1 star by default. I gave 1 additional star because the staff made me feel comfortable and because the woman who did my nails spent a lot of time making sure they were proportionate. Oh well, $90 down the drain. I learned my lesson and l definitely will not come back to this nail salon again. I highly suggest that the Manager of this nail salon starts investing on getting updated technical skill training for its staff so that they know how to use things like blooming gel and different magnets (for cat eye polish) to create modern effects. It's kinda unacceptable for a professional nail tech to be more clueless than their customer who simply enjoys nail art as an observer/novice...
