My daughter and I have been going here to get our nails done for a year now! We always bring Corina (hopefully I spelled it right) challenging designs and she always blows us away with what she can do!!!

As I entered the shop I was welcomed in with friendly greetings. It was no problem I didnโ€™t have an appointment, just a 5-10 minute wait. Pauline was so kind and did a great job on my nails. She was very kind, gentle, and efficient!

Iโ€™ve heard great things about this nail salon so I decided to give it a go since the salon I normally go to messed up my nails and didnโ€™t want to do anything about it, yet I paid full price as if they were done correctly. Idk first names but the guy with the tattoos did an amazing job on my nails. I was also impressed with the amount of time he did them when the other place can take upwards of an hour and a half on my nails, he did in 30 minutes. A half hour is much more appealing than 90 minutes, especially when sometimes you have to bring your toddler with you. A few days later, I accidentally broke a nail from my natural nail being weak and brittle and they had no problems standing by their work and fixing it free of charge. Very friendly staff and wonderful service. I already have my second appointment booked with them at the end of the month.
