Amy was very understanding of my limited time, tried to get me in and out as I requested. She exceed my specifications! Will be back when I'm on this side of town! (: read more

So I love this place! It is wise for you to make an appointment bc staff is limited here so if you walk in you may get lucky but you may have a wait so, word to the wise, just make an appointment. So the reason I love this place, is because all I have to do is show Amy a picture and like magic, my nails look like the picture. I'm always satisfied with service, always friendly, attentive and overall exceeds expectations. Out of all my nail shops I visit, this is definitely in my top three favorites. read more

This place caused me to develop a gel polish allergy. This is caused by improper application of gel polish- touching skin/cuticles - then instead of immediately cleaning it up, curing it. that or not curing gel for long enough. I noticed it seemed very random how long the lady doing my nails would have me cure them for, sometimes 1 sometimes 2 passes per coat. I also noticed some gel on my cuticles as I was leaving, which I was disappointed about, but didn't realize how risky it was.. Until a few days later my hands broke out into extremely itchy, fluid filled bumps called dishydrosis, Anyway, this is a life altering event as now I'll have this allergy forever and can never get gel or dip or acrylic ever again, and the acrylate is also used in medical procedures that now i will not be able to receive safely. On top of that, I suspect that this place intentionally does regular nail polish too thin so it'll chip to try to force you to do gel because that takes less time for them and makes them more money. Beware. read more

I had my nails done there 3 times and I'm coming back today. My nails looked great every time! But they last different time. 1st time they lasted 2 weeks, 2nd time they lasted almost 4!! But last time they only lasted a week before they started to chip. I don't know if it depends on a person who did them, or a color they use ( I always get gel) I like a location and they they aren't that busy, so I can just walk in at my lunch Also price is getting higher every time I go. May be because my nails getting longer ( I do have huge nails so I wouldn't be surprise if they wanted to charge me more based on it) read more

I would not go here if I wanted to be treat like a customer. I came in at 4:25PM, they had two customers. I told them I wanted a Pedicure and Full set. They had me sitting in the chair with my feet soaked til 5:27PM. My feet turned into prunes before they started on after saying that I had only needed to wait ten minutes. Poor way of cutting cuticles and foot care. Nails: I asked for coffin nails. Each finger was either too slanted and uneven. I told her before she started polishing them. She said she will but still didn't pay attention. Then she put Shellac on and said it was too late to fix shape.. Not even caring to correct the shape at all at the end of whole process. I believe her name was something Jacqueline. Service & Cost: I am vietnamese and I hear them speak of others rudely. And overpricing. I pretended that I was not vietnamese. Then it was my turn to pay for my services. 35$: for set and "shape" 20$: for Shellac Nail Polish Regular Pedicure: 20$ Total: 75$ The sign said pedicure was $17 Full set: 25$ Nothing about shellac being $20 on top. I paid the $75, tipped 5. Spoke in vietnamese so they can be ashamed that I heard all the convo. Two times here- I won't be coming back and I don't recommend it . read more

I give this place 1 out of 5 stars because one out of five nail technicians know how to do nails here. Amy is the only one. On this particular day I went without an appointment, that was my bad. Well anyways I went to this lady I've never seen before, her name was Cindy. She did everything normal until it came time to cut my nails. I like my nails really short, I told her. She suggested the length and then she went a little bit shorter because I asked. It still wasn't short enough for me so I said shorter and then she goes and takes off a little, tiny hairline-fracture of a nail. Cool I wasn't trippin. I was getting the oval shape. And when she finally puts the acrylic on and shapes my nails with the file, the oval shapes don't look consistent at all. I start to feel that the only way to reconcile that is if I go shorter (like I have suggested in the first place) and reshape. Ok so she asked me do I like the shape. Me not wanting to be a asshole I was like, "Can I go a little bit shorter?" Just like that, very polite. This trick says, "Ohhhhhh my God" as if it was in her native tongue or something. She just didn't care that she said that out loud in my face. Long story short I didn't have her put polish on my nails I went home and reshaped them myself. I never understood why people would get in arguments with the nail technicians. But now I completely understand why. They want to do whatever they want to do to YOUR nails when you're paying all them this money. And now they don't even gaf that they talk about you in their language. Because they know you're going to come back and spend that money. Speaking of which, they charge 5 bucks extra for the oval shape. Please if anyone knows of an primarily American nail shop whose prices aren't going to break the bank, please suggest it. read more

I found this place on yelp and I decided to try it out. Lynn did an amazing job not only on my nails but my friends nails as well! All the ladies were so nice and lively!! Also the price was reasonable for a great job that they did! Definitely recommend them! read more

My experience was so bad I had to write this review in the car parked outside! Amy, the manager I believe, is extremely rude. She began by acting as though she could mix colors and do "all the things" to produce the look and color I desired. WRONG! My coffin shape came out as mostly square AND she got upset with me when the color SHE picked to match what I showed her didn't match and I asked to change it. Her response was tell me that she would give me five minutes because she doesn't have time to wait on me and wasn't about to take a hour on me. She said she had someone else to take care of, mind you when I arrived the shop was empty. She goes on to complain that the shop is closing soon when it was an hour left til closing. To top it off the posted closing time is 7p and she locked doors at 6:30 or earlier. Nails were mediocre at best and I will not be back. Great your customers with respect, they're the reason you're in business! read more

I went there today because I was in the area. I had to yelp "nail shops" and the name came up. Amy did my mani+pedi. She really took her time and made me feel at ease! I cant lie... I stopped by the shop because of the reviews I read here. read more

Horrible! SLOPPY! Don't GO HERE! Worst manicure ever! 0 stars if possible. Took off the shellac all wrong and basically thinned my nails and cut them shorter than necessary. Uneven. So mad right now. I still paid just because but I am super Disappointed in this manicure. I don't even understand how someone is allowed to paint nails this immaturely like I feel like I got my nails done by someone in kindergarten read more

I was in the area doing some shopping when I got the inkling to get my nails done. I don't love trying new nail salons, because it doesn't always turn out well, but I took a risk. I asked if they did ombré style solar nails, and they do, but for $15 extra. I was pleased with the results, they weren't overly thick and the blending was done well. Everyone in the salon was in a happy mood, so there were plenty of smiles and conversations. While it's not very fancy or nice inside, it was still a good experience and I got the nails I wanted. read more

As always getting my nails done to perfection not to mention pampering witha nice massage Thanks Amy

My daughter and I decided to try Uptown for our manis and pedis. A few years ago I developed a fungal infection from a nail place that didn't clean their tools properly. I lost both of my big toe nails as a result and the infection lasted for over a year. I have been afraid to go anywhere because of this. I was relieved that Uptown uses autoclave cleaned tools for each customer. The salon is also very clean. The ambiance was fabulous, quiet background music and no one yelling across the shop in a foreign language. Tracy did my mani and pedi and she was very quiet which is what I prefer. She did an amazing job on buffing my nails and the pedi was fabulous. I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for a clean, quiet and reasonably priced mani/pedi read more

I don't like to give bad reviews, but for this place, I had to. This place is so inconsistent! I've been here a few times and the very first time I came I had to ask the Manager to cover my whole nail in Shellac and not skimp on the sides. This same woman told an employee to give me a dark navy when I asked for black. I was going on a business trip and didn't have time to correct it, so I asked if she could fix it and the all-around sloppy manicure when I got back in four days; she said no citing their three day policy. If that wasn't enough, I came in early one morning to do my nails, eyebrows, etc. and she waxed off LITERALLY half my eyebrow (from the bridge of my nose almost to the middle of my eye) and thought apologizing made it ok. Against my better judgement, I came back and brought a friends daughter (she's 7) with me and asked for a full set for me and a manicure for her. They polished her nails (no manicure at all) and did an AWFUL job on my nails. We were the last ones, so I said I'd come back to get them fixed. I came today and told her they needed to be redone, which she agreed to over the phone earlier today. When I got here and didn't accept just some filing, she argued with me, said I was her worst customer, and refused to redo my nails, opting to re-file them (which she hadn't even done in the original visit), and repolish. She accused me of previously giving her a bad review, (which I hadn't), and continued to be rude throughout my visit. For her prices, the customer service should be exceptional. It's sub-par at best, and I'm being nice. Bottom line: if you want a QUALITY job and a pleasant experience, STAY AWAY! read more

This is probably the only place where I have had manicures done and the polish actually stays on my nails for a week without chipping! I have had different technicians do my manicures and pedicures, and I think they all do an excellent job. Everyone here is very patient and takes their time on your nails. Today I had a shellac manicure done and the technician (sorry that I did not get her name) was very gentle with the manicure. I HATE leaving with my cuticles cut and bleeding (this happens often at other nail shops). It wasn't very crowded when I arrived and they immediately started on my pedi and mani. Service is fast and the atmosphere was relaxing. I highly recommend this salon! read more

Went here for the first time and they did a sloppy job. The nail technician talked on the phone the entire time that she did my nails. My nails looked horrible after and when I addressed her, she was very rude. She rushed to fix my nails that she had did a poor job on to begin with. Then she proceeded to try to charge me more money. I will never go back here. read more

I am a fan Amy. She was very professional, informative and the salon was very clean.

Amazing!! I have been to many locations and always end up regretting it. I finally found this nail place ...great customer service, great selection of polish and my nails last forever !!! This is the place to be if you want your nails to look absolutely great. I love my nails every time I get them done. Will snap a picture of my nails next time . I have referred other clients and they now are permanent customers read more

Amy! That's her name! Ask for Amy! I've been coming to get my nails pretty by Amy for about 6 years now! She is absolutely amazing & she takes her time with clients. She always makes sure her clients are well taken care of & she will not let you leave unless you're satisfied with your nails! I've gotten to know Amy these past years & when I come in, she knows exactly what I need to get done. Sometimes she is EXTREMELY busy & I have to patiently wait till she has time... but I promise it's definitely worth the wait. She is so good. There's been times where I urgently need her, & due to the fact that she's been busy all day, she will stay open for an extra thirty minutes or an or two just to treat you. She's patient with her customers & always makes you feel great & beautiful when you walk out. I could go on & on but you get the point. Amy is great & I will never go anywhere else. FYI.l, It's better to call & make an appointment with her because she can just be so busy sometimes, but most of the time she will be available! :) read more

I had went to this nail salon to get my nails done. The salon was dirty looking and they made me wait a hour before getting my nails done. On top of that one of the workers were working on her own foot. While I was waiting. This nail salon is bad. I would highly recommend you go somewhere else. read more

Amy was so awesome and did my first peticur.....I highly recommend this spot and i will be returning here very soon...thanks again Amy!!!!!

Low class nail salon. I went here because it is located close. Normally I go to a more upscale nail salon, but with traffic I haven't had time to make it. The first time I went the service wasn't great. I wanted my nails short and thin. Instead I got thick and longer than I wanted. The second time I went, me regular nail lady was out of town so I went there. She told me there was a 40 minute wait, but there was only one customer. When she did my nails again I asked for short and thin. She told me that I was being difficult. She stated that she had been doing nails for 5 years and never had any complaints. She said I was the worst customer. Clearly that's not true because I see similar reviews. She told me she refused to do my nails. I told her that she didn't have a sign posted stating such. She then took out a sheet of paper and began to make a sign. Another lady came from the back and said "leave." I was appalled by the service. I will be reporting them to the Texas State Board. Please do not go here. They are rude and racist. read more

I have given this place two chances because it is in a good location. I have been let down both times. The first time was a pedicure, it went well... then i see that one of my nails was infected. They obviously didn't sterilize their tools. It was painful to go through. Okay it happens so i go and get my nails done just acrylic pink. The lady doing my nails is in a hurry because other customers are coming in. Long story short she leaves crazy glue all over my finger tips, she puts on the wrong size nails (too small) and she seriously cuts me. It was pretty upsetting because I dont get my nails done too often to put up with such poor customer service. It was very upsetting, I am never going back. read more
