Gina, is awesome!! I wish I could give her 10 stars. I showed her my design I wanted and she went above and beyond my expectations! She really is an artist! She is precise and always made sure I was good with what she was doing along the way. No doubt my new nail stylist! Love her!

I had an appointment with Gina and she was amazing!! I sent her a picture of what I wanted a few days prior and she remembered. My nails turned out amazing. She even reassured me that if I didn’t like them, to let her know and she will try to fix them. She will definitely be my go to person for now on.

I went here for the first time yesterday and had the most amazing experience. I got a classic pedicure with gel French tips done by Kevin, and I’ve never been more happy with my feet. I also got acrylic nails that were perfectly shaped. I had a specific request for my nail design and Kevin perfectly executed it. He was very patient and skilled I will be coming back for my next set!!!
