First time here but I probably won't return. The staff was very nice however the service itself wasn't great. I got a spa pedicure in which the massage was awesome however I had to wipe off excess wax, oil and sugar scrub after the service and my 8 year old could've painted my toes better. I came here because I'm pregnant and can't reach to paint my toes. I'm disappointed 😞

Laura did an amazing job! Very patient and perfected my nails and asked me if I was liking them through each step of the process. Very clean and accommodating. I didn’t have an apt and they sat me down within 15 minutes.

Laura did an AMAZING job. My natural nails are short and can be hard to work with. She did wonderful helping me pic a style that would still look very classy on my natural nails.
