Sophia was wonderful giving me dip with tips! She carefully made sure that the nails were the length I wanted and shaped them perfectly! Iโ€™m excited to go back. Iโ€™ve been getting my nails done by Swanky for over a year now and their customer service is always the best!

Alex is the absolute best!!!! He takes his time and puts passion and creativity into each set he has done for me. Together we come up with a unique and beautiful set each time! I get so many compliments! Everyone in this salon is very kind, welcoming, and look forward to seeing each client again! Each set of nails are a blank canvas and when I sit in his chair I know the finish result will be a masterpiece. Thank you all for excellent service each time! See you again soon. The purple almond cheetah holographic set is the most recent 5/17/25.
