Stephanie does SUCH good nail work!

Stephanie is an artist. It is immediatly evident that she enjoys and takes pride in her work, and the end results are amazing... she produced the kind of nail art that ends up on Instagram as "goals"! From a practical standpoint: expect to pay more for nail art here than your standard nail places. But it is well worth it... between her skills and comically large selection of polishes, it is well worth it. Also, keep in mind she runs this thing by herself! One other thing: book with her WELL in advance of when you think you want to get your manicure, as her appointment slots fill rapidly. Overall, I love The Nail Cove. This will be the place I go to for specialty manicures, rather than my standard bi-weekly ones.

Love my light pink and gold streaks!

I have come to Stephanie several times now and I couldn't be happier each time! Not only does she have a great selection of nail colors to choose from, but so many fun designs to add to your nails! She's super friendly and I love to chat with her while she's saving my nails! Did I mention she works with your schedule for someone who has a hectic work life she always seems to fit me into her schedule! Go check her out and you won't be disappointed!

I will NOT get my nails done anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and become a regular and get on the schedule 'cause Steph is amazing. Her attention to detail, designs and genuine love for what she does is something you don't see at the average nail shop. You feel the love every time you get your nails done. She deserves all the stars in the sky but I guess 5 will do :-)

She is amazing!!! Beautiful young lady that is very knowledgeable and talented in her craft. She also is so down to earth and easy to talk to.I glade I found her and I'm never letting go!!!

Today was my first day getting my nails done by Stephanie. She's so professional, super nice and she made me feel so comfortable. I didn't know what I wanted (color or design) she hooked me up and I love them. If your looking for the best who's going to take they're time, she's the one. You guys should really check her IG page out (like I did). I'm waiting on her to start her YouTube channel, she's so dope. Thank you sooo much for having patient with me, I'll see you soon.

Again Steph made it happen! She always has the newest trends in and tons of options and colors. She takes her time and does an excellent job. Better than any nail salon I've been too! I'll defenitly be back again soon.

Another awesome job by Stephanie. I had these nails done two weeks ago, and they still look awesome! ;)

Stephanie does such an AMAZING job each time I see her! She has a great selection of polishes and accents, and is so creative. She's also a delight to chat with :)

Couldn't ask for more... unique designs and colors done by a perfectionist nail artist plus I get to spend time with an awesome person. Every time I go I tell myself I am not going to get a design but I can't help myself. I've never seen nail artistry like Stephanie's. (Check out her Instagram.) She's also on top of the latest nail trends and products so if you're looking for something that will last longer than regular gel but don't like acrylic then contact her immediately! And if you're looking for an amazing set of gel nails be sure to call for an appointment soon. She's awesome and books up fast!

There's not a day when I go to steph that I don't leave blown away! I'm so happy I came across Stephanie! She's super sweet and always does an amazing job! My nails are healthy and always looking amazing

These are the Tiffany blue sparkle nails she did on me. Check her Instagram for more photos of her work

Two words..SHES AMAZING! Stephanie is so awesome at what she does. Her nails are one of a kind. Every time she does my nails they always are better than I expected. Usually when I get gel done they are peeling off the next day but hers always last and look nice for awhile after they're done. I definitely recommend her if you're looking for a nail gal. She has tons of designs and can do anything you want. Plus she's so fun to talk to and very comfortable to be around

Love my shellac!

I will never go to anyone else to get my nails done except Stephanie! Always does an amazing job doing shellac, and she has cool designs to put on nails!

Amazing watercolor nails

I first found Stephanie through my sister who loved her first manicure and raved about her glitter designs. She is very creative and always down to try my fancy nail designs I find on Pinterest. She is on top of scheduling her appointments and is flexible to fit people back to back as my sister and I like to come together. My gel nails always last over 2 weeks without a single chip. It's never a bad time visiting Stephanie!

My gel mani 5 weeks after!

“Stephanie's is a nail artist and her custom mani's do cost more than the standard nail salon, but she is well worth the price!”

Super clean professional and no wait time!…read more I got a gel pedicure and they were quick efficient and did an amazing job. Over 6 pedicure chairs and 8 manicure chairs. I would come back!

this place was alright, but unfortunately, my experiences with their pedicure services have been…read morepretty disappointing. the first time i came here, i got acrylic nails and a pedicure. my acrylic nails turned out great! the design was exactly what i wanted, and i was really happy with them. however, the pedicure was a different story. it felt rushed, and i don't think enough time or effort was spent removing the dead skin around my nail beds or on my heels. i left with my heels still feeling rough instead of soft and smooth like they usually do after a good pedicure. i decided to give them another chance and came back for a second pedicure, but unfortunately, this experience was even worse. a man did my pedicure this time, and i honestly felt like he barely did anything to my feet. he lightly passed the pumice stone over the bottoms of my feet, but there was no actual scrubbing or effort put into removing the dead skin. my feet felt almost exactly the same as they did when i walked in. what made the experience even more uncomfortable was his demeanor. he gave off the impression that he didn't want to be there and seemed annoyed that he was even asked to do my pedicure. i can't say for sure that's how he felt, but that's definitely how his attitude came across. because of that, i didn't even feel comfortable speaking up about how unhappy i was with the service. i just wanted to finish and leave. on a positive note, the young woman who did my acrylic nails was absolutely amazing! unfortunately, i didn't catch her name, but she sits around the second or third chair from the right in the front row. she did a beautiful job, paid attention to detail, and i genuinely have no complaints about her work. i really wanted to like this place, especially because of how well my acrylic nails turned out, but after two disappointing pedicures, i'm hesitant to return. i think they really need to improve the quality and consistency of their pedicure services. removing dead skin around the nail beds and heels is an important part of a pedicure, and customers shouldn't leave feeling like their feet weren't properly taken care of. i don't mind paying for good service, but i do expect to receive the service i'm paying for. unfortunately, that just hasn't been my experience here when it comes to pedicures.

Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, we were met with an unwelcoming attitude. It honestly felt like we were bothering the staff. My sister's nail technician checked on her throughout the service and made sure she was comfortable. However, my boyfriend's technician spent the first 15 minutes of his appointment on a phone call. I understand that unexpected situations come up, but it would have been more professional to step away before starting his service rather than dividing her attention. Thankfully, once she returned, he was happy with the rest of his experience. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't the same. My technician was texting repeatedly throughout my appointment. During my deluxe spa pedicure, she hurt me while trimming my nails and cleaning my cuticles, and she didn't check to see if I was okay afterward. The worst part was during the hot towel portion of the pedicure. One of the towels was extremely hot. I don't like to complain, but I politely told her, "I'm sorry, it's too hot." Instead of letting it cool down, she simply adjusted the towel and placed it back on my leg, which ended up burning my skin. On top of that, my sister and I each paid an extra $15 for cat-eye nails, and the design did not meet our expectations at all. It wasn't the quality we were expecting, especially for the additional cost. In total, I paid $195, which is honestly an insane amount considering the overall experience and results. I really wanted to love this salon, but between the lack of professionalism, poor customer service, getting burned during my pedicure, and being disappointed with the final results, I won't be coming back.

I've been a customer here for about four years, and I absolutely love this place!…read more As a Korean, I've always missed the quality and attention to detail of Korean nail care. But every time I get my nails done here, I feel like I just got them done in Korea! The color lasts unbelievably long -- mine stayed perfect for six weeks without chipping! The attention to detail is incredible, and I'm always amazed at how quickly Vee can do such a thorough and beautiful job. Perfect care, beautiful color, and amazing detail, all in a short amount of time. And a special thank you to the lovely Vee! She is always so kind, friendly, and professional.

I asked her the morning of my appt that was scheduled for 4 pm if she could take me in the morning instead and less than an hour later i was at her spot. this was at like 8 am mind you. i'm usually not a diva like that but had to take my dog to the vet that afternoon so i was super blessed that she was able to take me in asap! services: - mani w. hard gel $55 (+ gel x removal $20) her cuticle work goes insane!! for both mani and pedi. not one nip. i'm obsessed with the color i got too and love the shape. the last place i went to didn't fully remove the gel x nails when i transitioned from x to hard but Vee did! my nails feel so freee - royal pedi $70 (+ gel removal $15) rookie move of me to think regular polish was gonna be better than i remember but was instantly reminded of why i hate it. i'll def be getting hard gel next time (cause yes ill be back!) other: plenty of parking and easy to find inside. you're not walking through a maze to find her studio like at other sola salons.
