Got off to a slow start. A gel manicure and regular pedicure took 2 hours, if the work was excellent then Iโ€™d excuse it. Both the workers were super sweet but both outcomes didnโ€™t come out great. Iโ€™ll spare the toes but letโ€™s just say thereโ€™s polish overlapping my cuticles ๐Ÿ™ the manicure also started off great but over the process there were just little things that couldโ€™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 thumbโ€ฆ I suppose practice makes perfect, but for almost $100? Youโ€™d hope things would be perfect.

11/10 experience! Best French tip nails Iโ€™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 donโ€™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 Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m alright with that because they last a long time and are good quality. Theyโ€™re nice up there and I enjoy their tea.
