This is the second manicure and pedicure I’ve gotten from here and both times the finger nails didn’t last a week. I went last Friday to get my nails done and all gel paint is gone off my finger nails and it’s Wednesday. I’ve never had a gel manicure not last almost two weeks. They started flaking and peeled right off, starting on Monday and by this morning there was no gel left. They don’t prep enough on your hands and get the paint all on your cuticles (that they don’t trim or file) and it lifts up on the edges after a couple days. Even though I asked for a manicure, all they did was shape the nail a little and paint.

When I went they burnt some of my fingers with the nail filter and didn't soak my nails to get my old nails off they just pried them off and for my new set she didn't bring the gel all the way back leaving them looking like i already need another new set. I strongly recommend that you DO NOT go there. There also crooked and my real nails aren't like that.

Tina (thuy) does a wonderful job. She's the only Nail Tech I found to make my nails thick enough that I can wear them the length I prefer.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐2018-09-15

They did a beautiful job. We all felt new after the mani/pedi. They took all six of us at once we hardly waited at all. And it took a special lady to do the pedicure on our special girl, LOTS if folks dont want to deal with that but this lady was awesome with her, took her time and never even batted an eye over doing a pedicure on a girl in a wheel chair. She went out of her way to see to it that our girl was included in girls day out. THANKS!
