I have been a frequent client ever since. Phoebe has been my favorite nail technician ever since I met her. She takes pride in her work and ensures your time and outcome is what you expect them to be. It's an amazing feeling knowing all I have to do is sit back and Phoebe will take care of the rest. It's very rare that you find a person who you can trust and you look forward to seeing every two to three weeks. I definitely recommend scheduling your next nail appointment with Phoebe.

He's seriously talented when it comes to detailed designs. Their prices are also really reasonable for the quality you get. I'm honestly so grateful I found this place and highly recommend :)

I showed her pictures, and she could not. I got there at 9:20 and was not out of her chair until 1156, and this is what I left with. She couldn't do it, the chrome wasn't sticking and you could see black through the chrome. She kept trying to make excuses and the whole experience was awkward. I got on the phone with my other half and was in tears and just told her to please stop at that point because there was no fix to it. Do not go here. At the end after I asked her how much I owed she swung her hands into my face, seeming to apologize, but it was highly weird and awkward. Please don't go here if you're looking for anything on your nails

A great pedicure! I made an appointment, and did wait a bit to be served (about 15 minutes) but…read morehonestly I've rarely been to a salon that actually honored appointment times. I got the sea spa pedicure, which included a massage and a few masks. The pedicure was thorough and I appreciated how sanitary everything was, alcohol spritzed after every step and sealed tools. I've had pedicures be rough or unpleasant before but this was great, will definitely be back.

So, I usually wouldn't do this but I think we should stand up for ourselves more at the nail salon!…read moreThese services are expensive!! I had a bad experience last week at Vdara. I asked for short dip powder nails and she tried to give me a gel X fill instead without telling me. However, I have been getting my nails done often for years, so I noticed what she was doing and I reminded her I wanted to switch to dip powder this time. She said no, we'll do gel X fill it will be better. (She means faster and easier for her instead of doing a new set.) I said no, I want dip powder. Finally I convinced her to do what I wanted. As we proceeded to do my nails, I kept asking her to file them shorter and kept noticing that they were crooked. She would try to move onto the next step and I would ask her if she was done filing noticing that they were all crooked and uneven lengths and shapes, so I would tell her, she would try to fix them, but she just could not. They kept coming out crooked and different lengths. Meanwhile, during the whole service, the phone keeps ringing and she keeps going to the front to pick it up, her cell phone keeps ringing and she keeps picking it up, people keep leaving to check out, and she kept leaving in the middle of my service to go check them out. This happened around ten times. Made my service nearly 2 and a half hours for these nails. I go to pay, and when it comes time to tip, she reaches her neck over-the-counter to make sure that I press something so I felt pressured to leave her a tip that I did not want to give because it did not seem like she cared about my service at all. (I'm a server. I ALWAYS TIP. And this time I did not want to. That says a lot). I get in the car to take a final look at my nails and see that they're all crooked and choppy/flaky and that there's a black mark on my WHITE nail on my pinky. I honestly just started tearing up, I know it seems silly but $80 for these simple little nails and a terrible experience right after work, almost taking three hours? I wish I never came here and just waited a day to go to my usual salon! Nevertheless, I went home and filed them all myself, which removes the sealing of topcoat, so now I will have to go spend more money on new nails sooner than usual because these will not last long. Waste of money unfortunately...

They are good for toes,…read morein my experience as I had them done in the last few weeks and thought I'd give them a second chance on nails after years of a bad experience I never posted about. This is my second time in years getting my nails done here, and I only tried again bc I thought maybe they would have improved in years gone by. I had my nails done two days ago with gel and tips done long. The first attempt by one woman was terrible. The owner then said she'd fix it. At first when done I thought it looked fine but as I left I realized they were just as bad. It's very difficult to build a round natural nail shape in the middle with gel. My nails look flat and warped and not even. Maybe they are better with acrylic but I'm extremely dissatisfied with my gel nails. They're basically wasted money. So unfortunate. I don't have it on me to call and ask for my money back. They also already look like I need a fill. I shortened them more so they'd look a little better but I'm embarassed. I dont get my nails done often but needed to for work and now have to get them redone somewhere. SMH. Maybe the photos don't reflect but they look worse in person.
