2025-06-27Thank you Becky & Gwen for the excellent service! My sister and I both came in for heat gel fills and left so happy. We didn’t have an appointment but we were able to sign in, walk over to Marshall’s and do some shopping and then come back for our appointment. While we had our nails done we sipped on hot tea so graciously made by a nail shop employee. We will definitely be back! Salon is clean, bright, and everyone is professional.

2024-10-04This shop is adorable! It’s brand new. Everything inside is new. The paint, the chairs, the stations, the products. It’s all chic, and simple and classic. The ladies here have been so sweet, so ready to jump in and take on a challenge. They also have a reward system that gives you a birthday discount and points. Highly recommend! It’s the kind of place that I expect will get very popular soon. I have dropped by twice, both times I was asked if I had an appointment. I think they prefer appointments! But they still took me in and helped me quickly. They also offered me water, and a beverage. They are very hospitable and talented.

They offered us water and treated my little one with so much care and I couldn’t be more pleased! This is definitely a GEM ❤️🔥 We found a New Spot! Thank you to everyone and happy Holidays 🥰
