Liah Cichon
2025-11-07They always take such good care of me at this location and they’ve transformed my nails (shout out Dora). Vacations, activities, holidays, and work events where I bring clients to get their nails done - they are top tier. The new renovations have elevated the space and the quality of the work never misses. I’ll be a loyal gal as long as they’re around!
Sophia Powers
2025-11-13Hannah was absolutely phenomenal. Incredibly thorough, precise, and did the most beautiful tortoiseshell design. I couldn’t believe it was her first time doing tortoiseshell!! She was so kind too. She is an incredible artist. Can’t wait to come see her again! The whole staff is professional and friendly.

2025-11-26Excellent job! I barely have any nail left due to my nail biting habit but Thien was able to put extension on and bring my hand back to life! He recommended doing dip extension with gel polish on so I can do design and be flexible with colors, yet allow my nail to stay healthy growing out. Strongly recommend Thien for manicure and Brian or pedicure.
