2023-07-23I came here for my first full manicure set the other day. Julie helped me, and the whole process was so smooth and positive. The entire staff was really sweet and welcoming. Julie chatted with me throughout the session and made me feel at ease / comfortable with the whole process. I'm really happy with how my nails turned out and have been getting complimented on them since. The cost was also very reasonable compared to other places in the desert. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Julie!

2021-05-17Been going for 4yrs never dissapointed till of late. They changed the way they fo nails and no matter how many times I asked them to do my nails they way they had for years they told me they don't do it anymore. Pedicures are great but I went somewhere else for nails and pedicures now. They need to learn modern technology. Sorry Julie but you never understood what I wanted.
