Lingling was great! She helped me pick out a color and style for a special event. Itโ€™s perfect! We had a great conversation. She was careful to handle my ticklish feet with care! I will definitely go there again and tell my friends!

Tom is an amazing nail tech. Heโ€™s been doing nails for 12 years and went to school for nail design. I have seen people mention him on social media but this was my first time having him work on my nails and Iโ€™m shocked on how phenomenal his work is. His natural creativity drives him to make up new designs and give each customer a unique experience. Thank you Tom for getting me excited to get my nails done again after all this time and I will be back!

This place is a joke. They were rude and rushing. My nails look nothing like what I asked for. I asked for a short coffin and she would not make them short after several attempts of telling her they were too long. She just said theyโ€™re not that bad as if I was bothering her. This was the worst experience Iโ€™ve ever had at a nail shop. The last photo is what I asked for and the second is what I got. Sad!!!

Very fast and friendly service from Salem. Very good at what he does. He took great care of me and was Very sweet. I will definitely be back soon hopefully with him but im sure others are great too. I got the pedicure with gel. The pedicure itself was $37 plus $10 for gel. Its ended up being $50.29 because of taxes and sadly they dont accept tip on card and i didnt bring cash so im double tipping him next time.

I went to Oscar Nail Bar hoping to get French nails. I waited for almost an hour although I had a reservation, but that wasnโ€™t what frustrated me. What frustrated me is that I asked to get French nails but the lady who worked on me โ€” Heidi โ€” seemed not to know that French nails are usually delicate, thin-looking versus a gigantic strip across the nail. As soon as she started painting the white, I looked at my companion and asked them โ€œare you seeing this??โ€ To which they googled French nails and saw how far-off the design on my nails looked compared to the intended design. I then asked her to just paint them all white, so she proceeded to do so. Needless to say, I paid for a service that wasnโ€™t good because 1. The nail specialist didnโ€™t know how to properly design French nails, and 2. Had an attitude throughout the service. I also thought it was unprofessional that she spoke with her colleagues while doing the service to me โ€” but this may be a subjective opinion. All in all, my money was not worth spending it here as I ended up with nails that look like Iโ€™ve done it myself VS. an experienced personโ€™s work (see them for yourself). Would not recommend.
