Might want to reconsider getting gel nails done here. I allowed my high school daughter to go for a…read moremani day with friends. A nail cracked in half after a few days. When I went back to ask for a repair, I was being charged $10 dollars. In terms of friendly customer service, I would question it, my daughter requested a specific tone of color and was given the 1 tone the nail shop had available. They used gel color to paint the tip or her nail rather than powder like most nail spas. She was never asked if that tone was okay or whether she wanted to choose something different. Also the nail beds look cloudy as opposed to a transparent glossy finish. She even showed the nail tech an image of what she wanted and got something different and was charged $55 for some cheap work. When I went to talk to the owner Susan who apparently was the person who worked on my daughter's nails she wanted to charge me $35 to fix the one nail and change the color. Mind you I was not asking for a change of completely color. I was primarily asking for the nail to be fixed. Had I paid the $35 i would have been paying a total of $90 for a super short set . I dislike being "that" person but figured it's fair for others to know how they may invest their money. Check the pics out. Ultimately, she fixed the broken nail for free and did a worser job. Didn't even bother cleaning it, shaping it or ensuring it was the same length/width to her other thumb. Im now gana have to go home and file the sides and length. Never again...

This nail salon is one of the best I've been to! One of the first things I noticed is that it…read moredoesn't have the strong chemical smell that many salons do, which makes the experience much more comfortable. The chairs are comfortable, and the staff is always friendly, professional, and welcoming. They genuinely seem to enjoy what they do--you can often hear them laughing and having a good time while still providing excellent service. The quality of their work is consistently great. I appreciate the bags that line the tubs to make it clean and safe for us. The staff also speaks English very well, along with other languages, which makes communication easy and is something I really appreciate. Another thing I love is that they usually accommodate walk-ins. I've never had to wait long, which is a huge plus. My only criticism is that on a few occasions I stopped in just to have my gel polish removed, but I was told I would need to pay for a full manicure even though I only wanted the removal. I wish they offered a standalone gel removal service for customers who don't need a manicure. I also think the prices are higher at this salon than others in the area. Overall, I highly recommend this salon. The excellent customer service, positive atmosphere, and quality of their work keep me coming back. Keep up the great work!

I showed him the design I wanted, but the finished result looked nothing like the picture I provided. To make matters worse, I was charged $90 for the set. Within two days, my nails were already chipping and developing black spots. After I returned from out of town, my fiancé went back to request a refund because of the poor quality of the work. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the salon refused to provide a refund and ended up calling the police. I paid good money expecting quality service and professional customer care, but unfortunately, I received neither. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality nail services.
