We were in town for a sporting event and stopped in. It was a very busy Saturday morning and the owner asked if we could come back in about 45 min. We expected to wait so we left and came back. My daughter and I came back a little early to pick out color and just relax since it was so hot out. Although we had to wait longer than if we would have had an appointment, the ladies took great care of us. My daughterโ€™s nails look great. I decided to get a design and that experience was awesome! The owner and I had a nice conversation. I felt at home there. Next time we are in town, we will be sure to make an appointment to get our nails done!! Thank you!!

This Nail studio is so clean and the staff are kind and do their best to make your dream nails a reality. I went in for a gel manicure with cat eye polish and they truly did their best to match my inspo photos. One of the kind nail techs painted her own nails to show me what my finished design would look like before I committed to the polish combo! That was so thoughtful and allowed me to make edits if needed. The finished manicure is perfect and I canโ€™t stop staring at my nails. I highly recommend this salon and will be back.

I had a wonderful experience here. The ladies had great attention to detail and did exactly what I asked for how I wanted my nails done. There is no annoying TV in the background just calm music. Thanks for the relaxing experience!

I came in to buy my bestie a gift certificate. I was served quickly. The lady at the counter was kind and greeted me as soon as I walked in the door, she was helping another customer. As soon as she was done she had me in and out in less than 5 minutes.

I love going to this nail salon. I used to be a frequent walk in and they would fit me in right away or by having me return in 30 minutes to an hour. They never complained once! But now I use their website and schedule my appointments and that has been awesome! I always get the Poly gel manicure with Stephanie, sheโ€™s always so kind and is always down to try something quirky. For example, I am a Helluva Boss fan and was going to a convention to meet the voice actor for Blitzo! She was willing to try and did such an amazing job for me! Sheโ€™s careful with my cuticles and so fun to talk with!
