I am not from the area. I did a search and Kimโ€™s nails was close the where I was staying. I asked how much for a fill with gel polish and the gentleman I was talking to asked me to hold to ask. 5 minutes later he announced $40 if your nails are short or medium. My nails are short barely past my finger. I arrived for my appt 10 minutes early and she started me in time. For 45 of the 60 minutes she spoke on her phone in Vietnamese. Not one word to me like would you like your nails trimmed, what shape would you like didnโ€™t even give me polish to choose from. I found this extremely rude. When she finished my nails looked fine I would have liked them cut down a bit.i had my wallet opened and realized Iโ€™d like to charge instead and since she was staring in my wallet she told me cash would be better. She gave me my change and I said wait you owe me $5 she said no $45. I told her I called before I came and was told $40. Pretty much she just shrugged it off. I gave her her tip a bit lower than I would have because of her rude behavior. I wonโ€™t be back

Do NOT get a cut here from Tony. He completely butchered my friendโ€™s hair. Poor dude was trying to get a girlfriend but Tony ruined his chances of getting a Valentine. My friend even asked Tony to fix his hair after the initial cut but Tony made it worse as you can see in the picture. Beware of the price as well. My friend asked about student discount but Tony was like nah your hair was too long so Iโ€™m charging $25 even though the posted price was $20. Donโ€™t get a haircut here and take your chances somewhere else.

Lovely nail technician and great dip powder nails. They donโ€™t do the 1/2 n 1/2 combination of dip powder base and gel top coat, which I really appreciate! Affordable too.
