⭐Customer Experience
Adam Thomas
2025-11-16Customer Service was low and the experience wasn’t the greatest due to possibly language barrier and also seem rushed. As a father who was coming in to get a pedicure along with his daughter, the situation seemed rushed, especially for the amount that I pay, though it was not a whole lot $56 plus a eight dollar tip seemed a bit much to only have been in there for no more than 30 minutes. Do I believe that I will end up going back again more than likely know what I suggest is place to anyone more than likely know. I think that it’s very vital to greet people as soon as they walk in hello how are you? How can I help you? That’s a great example I walked in as a African-American male along with his daughter and the Asian people just stopped, looked and stared at me for at least three seconds before anyone said anything. It honestly made me feel like that I wasn’t supposed to have been there or my daughter so therefore we will not be going back. And honestly, I did not want to give a tip, but I gave one anyway a 15% tip.

2025-07-17Worst $75 I’ve ever spent. The service was really terrible as well. Please please take your money somewhere that will paint more of your nails than your skin. Pictures are AFTER I asked them to clean up the polish. This is how I left the salon. How embarrassing for them.

2025-10-31I started coming to this salon recently, and I am SO IMPRESSED by the kindness and level of service offered by the technicians. They are so professional, and the entire vibe of the salon is so calm and accommodating. Amy is AMAZING, and she always checks in the make sure I have everything I need. The icing on the cake is how much I LOVE my nails when they’re finished! This salon is WONDERFUL.
