I have been to this location several times and usually have a great experience. However, today I came in for a fill in and a repair of two nails. The woman who did my nails huffed and puffed the entire time after telling her that I got my nails done somewhere else as an out of state college student. She also seemed to be in a rush to finish my nails. She slammed products around and kept yanking my hands. It's unfortunate that her attitude was terrible because the final product of my nails is great. It's also unfortunate that I paid nearly $80 for a fill in, repair of two nails, gel, and French tip!!

Not happy!!!! spent 170 dollars for chrome on nails and toes and was told the spots and dips on my nails is normal for dip powder. Well if that’s normal then wish you had told me that they will look like crap. Picture does not show how bad they are. When I went back by and asked the tech, he says it was normal, did not try to redo them. Out of my 10 fingers, 8 of them has dips in them or bumps. UGH

I will never return here. The first thing I noticed was how they seated white customers on one side and Black customers on the other. Another woman was clearly uncomfortable too but afraid to speak up. When I asked why, they tried to gaslight me, saying I was being “too sensitive” before throwing out some excuse about a “hot water issue.” Meanwhile, the service was rushed, sloppy, and nowhere near worth the money. This isn’t just about nails. It’s about respect. It’s about dignity. And it’s about making sure businesses know we see them and we won’t support practices that divide us. If you value yourself and your money, take your business elsewhere.
