They did a great job with my daughtersโ€™ nails for homecoming. This is our 2nd time here and itโ€™ll definitely be our โ€œgo-toโ€ for nails in the future.

So the gentleman that did my pedi was nice and gentle. I had a gash on my leg but it didn't hurt while he scrubbed them or put lotion on. He was good at cutting my toe nails and not aggressive like some places. I have soft nails and ingrown toe nails but he did great. The 4 stars is because of whatever stuff they put in a baggie and you stick your foot in was very hot. Under scalding but it's a good thing I can take heat. He asked if it was too hot after my feet were in and I said yes. He said it will cool down quick. It did NOT cool down quick. I just got used to the heat. But almost the whole time was it hot. I also wasn't aware they charged a dollar for using a card. These places are making a killing off people because it doesn't cost them that much. I would definitely go back. I just wouldn't get the standard pedi. I would get the basic. I do like the music they have. Makes it for a relaxing time.

I went in to get my nails done for graduation. I showed the picture with the accent nail as a reference. The nails were put on uneven and thicker than usual. When I went to the other station for painting, I was told my nails were not long enough for what I wanted done. The picture in the middle, where all the nails are the same, is what I got for $60. I almost cried when I realized how bad they looked compared to what I wanted. I went to Royal Nails the next day to get them fixed. The final picture with the accent nail is the fixed version, which I love.

I donโ€™t usually do a review like this but I just had to. I went to get a manicure and pedicure and loved my pedicure. When it came to the manicure I was pretty disappointed as I asked if the design I wanted to do would be possible in which they told me yes. The gentleman who did my manicure asked me several times if I wanted to do dip and I responded with yes, but still ended up getting a gel manicure. The whole process also seemed rushed and I left the salon very disappointed and even tried explaining that to them when they just got even more upset with me. The acrylic put on my nails is very uneven and in some spots even look chipped and some spots of the blue you can see through to the base layer. I will definitely not be returning for a manicure here but my pedicure looks excellent which is why Iโ€™m giving three stars. (Inspo picture is the pink the other are my nails which the photo doesnโ€™t show how bad it truly is)
