I gave Alex an inspo pic, and he absolutely delivered! He recreated the design perfectly — from the detailed Ghostface art to the dripping black polish and the bold red glitter accents, every nail was spot on. His attention to detail and steady hand are seriously impressive. Alex is not only talented but also super professional and easy to work with. He made the whole appointment comfortable and fun. If you're looking for a nail tech who truly listens and brings your vision to life, I highly recommend him. Can’t wait for my next set!

Wow!!! I can't rate this place enough!!!! I clearly remember my first time here it has been more than one year since then. I have read many of the reviews here and i am laughing my butt off. This salon does a great job. The staff is welcoming and friendly and they always try their best to give everyone the best experience they can. I've tried a million salon around the area and this one has been the best quality in terms of products and services. I highly recommend it! I literally love this place. My nails and toes last always 3-4 weeks and still looking really good. I am always satisfied for what I always got. They are worth it. Everyone has their favorites and this one is mine for sure. This place is amazing…… The sweet Alex always do my nails especially since I always do designs on my nails, she is the best, a really big thank you to you for making my nails look fabulous all the times. I'm pretty sure all of them have their own talent and if you are looking for good quality and service you will find it here. I'll leave some pictures below so you guys can appreciate their arts and talents….

As always, Modern Nails delivers! Very attentive technicians and I did not get their names this time 🫣. Simple easy clean and just what I needed for my short nail preference.

It's ALWAYS a pleasure coming here. Everyone is very welcoming and very nice. Jenny does a very good job. She never fails. My 5-year-old daughter also got her manicure done, and she loved it. It's definitely our permanent nail spot.

This place has gone through several owners through the years but Ms. Kim continues to be the best. She is very understanding to my young family member’s needs and she approaches her with kindness and patience. The other staff members are attentive to their clients and it appears that there’s a lot of repeat customers by the greetings. There’s also tv to watch or music to listen to while enjoying your manicure/pedicure since you can’t always use your cell phone during your appointment.
