This is an amazing nail salon! Candy is the most talented nail tech, she takes her time and is truly a master of her craft. 2em isnโ€™t exactly close to my house anymore, and yes, itโ€™s on the pricier side, but I gladly make the drive and pay extra for their level of service. My old salon used a handwritten appointment book and rarely answered the phone, while 2em actually uses a modern booking system that makes scheduling online super easy. I always feel completely comfortable here; the professionalism is consistent every single time. The salon is spotless, and they carry an incredible variety of colors and products. I honestly canโ€™t say enough about how amazing Candy is...sheโ€™s the best! Thank you!

I had an amazing experience at 2EM Nail and cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment I walked in, the environment was positive, welcoming, and professional. The energy here is great, and the service is top-tier. Tiny is my nail tech, and she is truly an artist. She created a custom Gel-X chrome set for me, and it is absolute fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ The chrome she used was high quality, the nails were perfectly shaped and sharpened, and every detail was executed flawlessly. You can really tell she takes pride in her work and pays attention to precision and artistry. I know I can trust her and 2EM to always have me ready for music videos, productions, auditions, etc. If you are in entertainment and have specific aesthetic requirements to meet for branding purposes this is your place! I genuinely appreciate Tinyโ€™s talent and creativityโ€”she exceeded my expectations and will take her time t6o make sure it is high standard. If youโ€™re looking for a place to get a custom chrome Gel-X set, this is the place. Do not hesitateโ€”book your appointment ASAP. You will not be disappointed! ๐Ÿ’…โœจ

Very happy with my set from Tien. Iโ€™m used to getting one color from other salons but Tien was very open to designs and I was looking for something trendy. Builder gel was applied much thinner and smoother than I have usually gotten. Very worth the trip

I always walk out SO happy with my nails! I have seen Helly and Lanie for nail art and this set, Lanie knocked it wayyy outta the park. I have only had them for a day and have gotten so many compliments! The salon is friendly, clean and parking is easy. I highly recommend 2EM!

My tech was Kelly (not the owner the tech) she was amazing!! Gentle but firm, thorough, and although she was super quick she did a phenomenal job. As for the salon, smooth professional check in, smells nice, great music, and fairly quiet for a salon. The prices were reasonable for the impeccable service. Definitely my spot moving forward!
