Extremely disappointed with my gel extensions. They started falling off the same day I got them done! I went back three times to have them fixed, and each time more nails came off again. This is completely unacceptable for the price I paid. The quality is terrible, and the work clearly doesnโ€™t last. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

STAY AWAY! Ended up going to urgent care. Donโ€™t go here for acrylics. I went in on a Sunday, and by Wednesday I noticed some lifting. I just went in right now to fix it and unfortunately she got the shape wrong. Instead of offering to fix that, she wanted to cut down the rest of my nails. I was still charged for services even thought itโ€™s not what I asked. So disappointed. Also, if you look at the first picture, you can see the difference in my ring finger, pinky, and pointer finger, specifically on the cuticle. They donโ€™t go to the cuticle like other places, causing more chances for a lift and to come back for a fill more often. But what they donโ€™t consider is how damaging and painful it is when our nails experience the lift and are yanked. Edit: Just got off the phone with the owner/manager. He did ask for me to come back in to fix it a 3rd time. I told him my nails from Saturday were lifting and one from last week actually is tearing my nail due to lifting. I had to decline his offer simply due to the poor quality and general mistrust. I already gave the salon a chance to fix the mistake and they didnโ€™t. He was adamant about not giving me a refund (even though I didnโ€™t ask for one). He also said it was the length of my nails that were the problem. Just beware. We gotta stay safe.

Today I got the worst nails ive ever gotten. Lumpy, scratched, so messy, even my fingers were stained. What was supposed to be a clean French was like a slurry of white and clear. Awful. On top of this it was supposed to be a refill and it took at least 2.5 hours to create this mess. It was very clear the tech was inexperienced. They should not allow inexperienced techs to do work on customers until they are trained and ready. So disappointed.

I am very very disappointed ๐Ÿ˜ž and mad. All my fingers is hurt. Because cuting and skin off. I told him It is hurt can you do more careful. But he kept cutting harder and harder. When I pay, he makes separate payments. One is $56 for gel nails, and $54 a for pedicure. I can't understand why they made me pay separate paychecks. It is the first time they have treated me very very badly.

Decided to treat my mom to a pedicure and was able to book same day and were seen immediately. The service was excellent, the prices were extremely reasonable and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend and will gladly go back again.
