Pao did an AMAZING job on my nails!!! Her salon is absolutely chic and classy as well as relaxing and calm. Her customer service is exceptional. I received a pedicure and had acrylic nails done and I am beyond impressed. I truly do not think I can ever go into another nail salon. If you want a โ€œpamper yourself experienceโ€ this is the nail salon to treat yourself with.

It was in the top of the bad. It was not my first visit to the branch, but it is the worst and it will be the last. The girl who made my nails were different lengths and the shapes were very disgusting. I paid 35 dollars to get a special service, but unfortunately it was very bad.

Pao is absolutely the best! I have had my nails done several times in the past and I honestly have never really liked them after. This is the one place that I have gone to that I have loved my nails every single time. I feel like my nails are healthy and strong which is really important to me. Pao is also the sweetest and most generous person. She is so welcoming and makes you feel so comfortable. I genuinely enjoy seeing her each time I come to her salon! Can not recommend her or her business enough!
