    My first fill in at this shop!  Denise made my day, thank you!
    Maria C.

    My first time here, I was thoroughly pleased. My normal nail tech at another shop wasn't available soon enough and I was in an emergency situation... my nails needed rescuing! I searched nearby nail shops on Yelp and came across a few, but this one here stood out and it was only five minutes away from my current location at the time. I walked in and it was busy already by 11 am on a Saturday. I happened to see a familiar face and asked her opinion of the shop and she assured me that they are good. Cool... a little bit of relief. I waited about 45 minutes before I was asked to sit in a chair to be serviced. I so cannot remember the tech that completed my fill-in, but she was great! I was satisfied with my finished product. Of course I can say this and that about my fill-in, but no need, overall, I am completely satisfied with this place. I'd recommend you give them a try. I plan to make this shop my back up shop in case my number one nail tech is unavailable. The shop itself: clean, airy and the service is fast! There are at least five techs present. I'd say business here is pretty steady. The waiting area... not a lot of seating, but I think this is why they try to get the customers in and out by providing fast service. I even witnessed the techs suggesting "regular customers" or even "walk'ins" to come back later instead of sitting and waiting. - Great customer service here! Instead of just letting the customers sit and wait, why not alert them how long the wait will be - I love it! This store is located in the middle of two other businesses: healthcare business and a gym. Parking is decent. Just enough spaces are available around the shop. But there is parking all around, so I doubt parking is ever a problem. This shop is located off of the busy Portsmouth Blvd. and among plenty of eateries and shopping. Other businesses include: Chesapeake Square Mall, Golden Corral, Red Lobster, Walmart, Ross, Party City, Zaxby's and a host of other places. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    I decided to try this nail salon because of a few of the reviews. My regular nail tech (with another company) was/is on a little break. I have been here 3 or 4 times and I will say that it is a typical nail salon. However, they do have more colors than I usually see. The first time I went to John and the next few times I went to Tracy. They both are pretty good. However, I prefer Tracy first. I will try the others in the future. I am pretty picky with my nails. OF course, with anyone new it takes time for them to get to know your preferences (and I am pretty particular with my nails). In due time, I can see them being almost perfect. I will return for service and will post pics for you to see soon. Here are a few pros: 1. They have a reward system! You register and check in with your phone number. As your points add up, you can use them for services. 2. Location is great....near a few good stores and restaurants. 3. They are pretty nice and the place is clean. Cons: Anytime I make an appointment I have to wait to be serviced. It is not a huge deal. But, for those of us with a busy schedule it's good when you make an appointment and everything flows. Someone mentioned a smell but I did not detect any. My advice, call for an appointment...but, be prepared to wait a little bit.

    Fabulous job!!

    I am absolutely furious with my experience. My nails are trash! I came in with long nails that I have been growing out at a different location. I went here because my nail shop was closed for the holiday and I'm leaving with trash, bloody, short, uneven, horrible color (because apparently the colors I picked couldn't be used so I had to settle with a "close match"), UGLY, and dirty( not once did she ask me to wash my hands) nails. I will never ever return. Sure my pedicure was bomb a couple months ago but trust I won't return. It wasn't even busy!!! There was only 1 other person in there besides me and I arrived at 9:38 when they open at 9:30. Words can't even describe my thoughts. I take pride in my nails and now I'm walking around with this disaster. I spent $40 and I expect to walk out with my nails looking like $40 not $2.

    These little piggies went to the market and BAM came back lookin DELISH. Tony was amazing and went above and beyond! Don't let the baby face fool you, he is amazing! I hate my toes but I'm lettin em out for summer! Even my mans complimented my feet and he's not a fan of These Rollie Pollies chicken nuggets lol this is not the best photo but he worked his magic:

    I asked for a cut down, fill, and a square shape from my previous super long coffin shape. She did an excellent job. I got knicked a tad though... She was very sweet, good convo but not the awkward "small talk". She was quick, but not too quick lol. She corrected the issues I had from a previous salon. She was the light skinned lady with blue eyes. The price was beyond fair. I'm happy overall. Thank you!

    WAIT TIME: It was my first time coming to the shop so I made an appointment about 8 hours before I arrived but it was still a 25 to 30 minute wait. I would still suggest making an appointment rather than a walk-in. STAFF & ENVIRONMENT: The staff there seemed to be nice and friendly. There were a lot of 'usuals' so I take that as a good thing. The women (forgot her name!) who did my nails always checked to see if I liked what she was doing which I greatly appreciate. The shop itself was slightly dated but no reason not to pay a visit! NAILS: I requested oval acrylic nails, which can be difficult to achieve. I was a little nervous at first because there was a lot of mistakes and bumps in the beginning but the end results were good, but not great. Now I asked for a gold sparkle polish and I was only given 3 choices. Thankfully one of the polishes matched what I was looking for. If you're looking for a cheap place to get your nails done with good results this is definitely the place to go!

    Broke my middle fail and needed it fixed. Literally ONE nail. Tech pretty much has acrylic covering my cuticle. And it's noticeably different and ugly. He clearly didn't know how to do nails and they knew that when they assigned him me because they barely wanted to service me in the first place. Sad because I really like my usual tech. But this is ridiculous & too ugly for me to keep spending my money on. Smh.

    10/10 recommend. They were very helpful and friendly. Easily repaired my nail which another salon had damaged, did a perfect job on my gel mani and polish change on my toes. Will be back again!

    4th toe isn't completely polished. The job overall, from my cuticles to polish doesnt look up to par, like a professional done it.

    I came here based on the rave reviews, but am disappointed to have received a partial pedicure. As I walked out of the shop, another customer said, "Wow, that was fast for you", "I agreed with a smile on my face, and responded, "Thats because she didn't massage my feet, at all". On top of thats she cut my big toe nail waaaaay to short, and the overall job was mediocre. However, I LOVE the sanitary measure that they use on all pedicures; a lining in the basin, and new tools. I dont know, maybe this was an off day. I will return to give them another try in the future, and will adjust my rating accordingly.

    This is by far the best nail salon I've been to since I've lived in this area. There was good conversation & she made sure that my nails were the exact shape & size that I wanted before continuing. She also went back & fixed any little mistake she saw so they turned out perfect! I definitely recommend this nail salon.

    Low cost place to get a pedicure. Service was great and there was no wait. There was nothing that made my experience above average
