Got off to a slow start. A gel manicure and regular pedicure took 2 hours, if the work was excellent then I’d excuse it. Both the workers were super sweet but both outcomes didn’t come out great. I’ll spare the toes but let’s just say there’s polish overlapping my cuticles 🙁 the manicure also started off great but over the process there were just little things that could’ve been fixed.. if she cared? Little red flecks from my last gel color, the gel bubbling over on my right hand, the paint gap on my left thumb… I suppose practice makes perfect, but for almost $100? You’d hope things would be perfect.

11/10 experience! Best French tip nails I’ve ever had. They took their time and I did not feel rushed what so ever! If I was not moving, this would be my go-to spot. Thank you, Love Nails!

Great salon and really knowledgeable! Liana explained the difference in gel types and helped me choose a beautiful color that looks really natural. Also has a parking lot so easy to get to in downtown.

They do a good job every time I go but they always seem to be rushing and don’t take their time with you, even if you call in ahead of time and schedule an appointment. I regularly get hard gel over my natural nail because I want to protect them but the last few times I went they sanded the underside of the gel down so much that it literally got rid of my natural nail completely. I am upset about that but the nails look great and in the 2 months I’ve had them only 1 chipped at the corner and that was because I was being rough with them. They are a bit expensive but I’m alright with that because they last a long time and are good quality. They’re nice up there and I enjoy their tea.
