Iโ€™m very happy with my visit to AQ! I was promptly greeted at the door and there was literally zero wait time. Henry did my pedicure and it was very relaxing and Tina did my nails. Iโ€™ve never gotten any nail art and I told her I was thinking about it. I showed her a picture and she totally nailed it. Iโ€™m so happy with my experience here. It was clean, everyone was kind and very attentive. I highly recommend going to AQ. Iโ€™ll definitely be back.

I have gone here 3 times now and was pretty happy with all three times. They treat you with excellent customer service and everyone is so nice. I give 2 stars because this most recent trip I asked for nails with some French tips jewels on every finger and I love how the design turned out she did amazing! Iโ€™m just not very happy about the sorta sloppiness of the sides of my nails like one side of one of my nails is pushed in more than the other and the fact that there is still a lot of sharp edges all along the bottom of my nails. The nail artist was also drilling the same finger over and over and ended up cutting me really bad on the side of my finger and all along the top of my cuticle which she apologized for and gave me a bandaid but it hurt really bad! Last thing, there are supposed to be jewels on both my middle and ring finger but the jewel on my middle finger wasnโ€™t even connected to my nail at the top so it immediately fell off. I paid $100 for these nails not including the tip and for that I really am not happy! Probably will think before going again.

First time there and love this place! Everyone was really nice and professional. Took my granddaughter and daughter and we all had Mani & Pedi's they were super sweet to my little grand, made everyone feel welcomed and the place looked nice and clean. They have a bar if you want to order drinks. They offered free water or sodas. The massages they did on all our legs, feet, arms, and hands was super amazing. I will definitely be returning as a regular with this type of service. I was happy happy! Glad I tried them. Oh, we were all happy with how our hands and feet looked. I recommend this place if you're looking for a good place to go.
