The education on products is a big deal to me. I'm rough on my nails and Melissa knows this so she uses a specific putty product on me - it lasts for weeks without any issues! She really knows her products well and what to use on each individual. As for her creativity, she's a rockstar! I don't always come to my appointment with a clear idea on what color or design I want. Luckily, this is not a problem for Melissa because she's always up on the current trends and knows exactly what to do. I honestly can't say enough great things about her and her work. She's a boss at what she does!

Why I Highly Recommend This Place: * Warm and Welcoming Staff: The staff are incredibly kind. The smaller scale allows for attentive service and feels more welcoming than larger nail salons. * Clean Environment: The space is clean, nicely decorated, and well-maintained.

My nails last 14 days or more (which is a long time for me). * Great Precision: sometimes you just need a good manicure- I'm always happy with the care and detail to my nails and skin * Relaxing Atmosphere: They make you feel pampered and comfortable from start to finish.

I've been here twice now, first time for a full set and second to get a fill. Both times, my nails look beautiful! I gave inspiration pictures and they got them close and were able to do any changes I wanted! This fill is adorable and I've had so many compliments on my nails! I'm posting this several days later, and they're still beautiful! (Green with vines is original set, colorful flowers is the full) read more

We were given an option for a free cocktail, wine, margarita or a beer as we were getting into our massage chairs, from the same girl who checked us in. My friend chose a margarita and I chose a beer. Another person came around and informed me they actually didn't have any beer (Corona) which was a bummer. Why offer it if you don't have it? Whatever, I decided on a "margarita" which ended up being strawberry wine and a lime. Umm... that's NOT a margarita. Yes, I know this isn't a bar but my thoughts are: If you are going to offer a drink, make it with the correct ingredients and/or have what you offer in the fridge. Good thing I brought my own drink, not an alcoholic beverage but 100% better than what they offered. You get what you pay for I suppose, lol. Moving on to the pedicure... They have an outstanding color selection for solid colors, jelly, design and glitter colors in both standard nail polish and gel polish. (Best color selection I've ever seen!) An older guy walked in from the back, sat at the foot of the chair I was in, said hello and did his best to ask what color I chose. He didn't speak English at all but he tried so, 'A' for effort. I chose a Classic Pedicure, and he did a decent job. He didn't make any conversation since well... he couldn't because of the language barrier. I didn't mind, I chatted with my friend, zoned out and scrolled my phone. I don't have any complaints, he gave me a basic pedicure which was all I wanted. I trimmed my nails directly before going in because I don't like when the techs cut them since often times they cut them into a shape that I don't like. I asked for "no cut, only file and cuticle removal" so that's what he did along with the massage and painting my nails. I will definitely be visiting this place again, but I'll choose the guy that did my friends nails. I thought hers paint job looked better and her nail tech spoke English so that was a plus. Overall a good experience, just make sure to bring your own drink unless all you want is water or white wine since that's what they seem to have an abundance of.

Apparently the $68 "fill" didn't include a cuticle trim even though I specifically asked for it when I checked in. The chair I was sat in was tiny! I'm a medium sized woman but I had to squeeze my butt into that seat. I even expressed my discomfort and was shrugged off (literally). No one, from front of house to the nail tech were remotely friendly. There are many other nail salons in Chico that give much better service, so that's where I'll be going in the future.
