2025-11-05Love coming here. All the nail techs do a great job. Today I had Kim and she definitely knows what she's doing and did her best to make me happy with what I was paying for. They look like a cherry red in the light and a dark red in the shade, darker than the picture but a really nice fall color which is exactly what I wanted. I got gel x and they came out to $63 before tip.

2025-10-21I just had the most amazing pedicure experience — truly next level! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was spotless, relaxing, and smelled so fresh. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel pampered right away. The pedicure itself was pure perfection — my technician took her time, paid attention to every detail, and gave the most soothing leg and foot massage I’ve ever had. The scrub, hot towel, and polish application were flawless, and my feet have never felt (or looked!) this smooth and soft. You can tell they use high-quality products and care deeply about hygiene and customer comfort. It wasn’t just a pedicure — it was a spa experience. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and obsessed with my shiny new toes! 💅✨ Highly recommend this place if you want real self-care and the best pedicure of your life.

2025-11-19They did my toes amazingly but then when it came to my fingers they screwed up my nail bed by filing them down too short and causing them to be super red and sore. Then when I left I realized one of my nails was super long and a different length from all the others. I had to get the nails taken off a few days after. I got full acrylic set, nothing too complicated. I definitely would recommend to go there for your toes and such but make sure to check there work before leaving.
