I’ve been coming here since they opened and absolutely love their service! No one, and I mean, no one can compete with the talent and professionalism. I experience every time I come here. I am a fragrance business owner and people are always noticing my hands/nails so I’m very particular on who I get my nails done by. I’ve been coming to Katelyn for about five years now, and anytime I show her a complicated or simple design, she executes! The best part is not only is she talented, she’s efficient! I’ve also had the pleasure of getting my nails done by some of the other women that work there if Katelyn is on vacation and they’ve all been amazing to work with. I’ve attached a pic of my most recent set.

I used to love this nail shop, and my mom, my sister, and I have been coming here once a month since I discovered their Instagram in April. I love their flexible scheduling and how great the nail techs are with their art designs. I also love that they do real manicures before doing gel nails. Update: The nail shop contacted me about my recent visit and provided a thoughtful resolution.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Ryella! She’s done my nails the last three times, and each time has been absolute perfection. Her attention to detail, creativity, and consistency are unmatched. Whether it’s a simple design or something more intricate, she nails it (literally) every time. I won’t go to anyone else. She is the only one I trust with my nails now. If you’re looking for flawless work and someone who truly cares about what they do, she’s the one!

Seems like they do okay on manicures, but i sadly got a pedicure and probably wouldn’t go back. The nail tech smudged my toes on the flimsy flip flops (i told her i brought my own plastic birkenstocks and would be comfortable wearing those since it’s easiest, but she ignored me) and fixed it by just painting over it 😭. It looks.. okay… but i don’t really understand paying $40 for smudgey toes and not shiny ones. I feel like this was not the solution to a problem that could have been prevented in the first place… sorry for the toes jumpscare!
