I think I’ve gotten my nails done at nearly every place in town over the years and Hannah is by far the best nail tech I’ve ever had. Over a few months we took my flimsy, short nails to long, strong and beautiful. Hannah is precise and gentle. My nails are always shaped perfectly. I couldn’t recommend her more!

They were so kind. Hellen did a great job on my nails she was precise and gentle. She stayed late to finish and still took her time. I cannot recommend them enough!

I was in the area for a work trip and saw the reviews were great so I stopped by. Big mistake. Service started off great, until their appointments started coming in and the walk-ins were shuffled around to various people. I chose a color for my nails and asked them to match my toes, you can see from the pic, they didn’t even try. The person doing my pedicure was fine, until her appointment walked in. She rushed the polish and failed to take the acetone off my fingers. My fingers soaked until my skin started peeling. Someone else started my nails, then stopped because her appointment also came in. Someone else finished my nails and didn’t do a great job. They were uneven. I asked for a refund, which was declined. If you’re a regular, I’m sure the service is terrific. Walk ins? I suggest you walk in elsewhere. Also, I was here for 3 hours. I told the Manager I’d leave a Google review, and she told me to do it. Here you go

Min is the best! I came in as a walk in. She did them fast and they look amazing! I’m picky about my shape and she made sure they all looked the same (without me having to ask) !!

Hannah did a fabulous job on my manicure. Min did my 5 year old granddaughter’s manicure. So patient and made it fun for her. Everyone is so helpful and polite.
