I had to go straight to another salon to have my nails redone after leaving here. The techs at the other salon all laughed when I walked in, my mom laughed, and a customer at the salon laughed.. thatโ€™s how bad they were. Very sad Iโ€™m out $50 for the service, $5 tipโ€ฆ so $55 total. I called and she refused to give me a refund, but offered to fix them after I already told her I got them fixed somewhere elseโ€ฆ The pic doesnโ€™t even do justice to how bad it was.

My daughter had an end of school year event. ..so, at the last minute (my busy fault) I called every shop around town and Mrs. Kim did us a favor (& as first time customers too) She did her nails last minute and with a great price. (Also, I feel like we rushed her meal break, which I wouldn't love happening to myself but, still She was only a few minutes to be with us (I hope she finished her food) she worked so quickly & with obvious experience & talent ...she really did great work and was so kind! We don't really do nails often ...but for next time ..I would return as a customer.

Great customer service, they go above and beyond. The pricing is good. I showed them a reference photo of what I wanted and they didn't have the glitter shown in the photo so they took the time to mix like 6 different glitters to get it to exactly what I asked for. When I went in they were busy so they also gave me a discount for being patient and waiting. Even though I was a walk in and they had to do extra work to give me what I wanted they still gave me a discount. Plus my nails look amazing! I highly recommend this nail salon. You won't be disappointed at all. 7/12 Adding to my review it's the only place I go and every time I'm never disappointed I still highly recommend, they are amazing!

Going here was an extremely pleasant experience. Kim was professional and kind. This was like a pedi ure from years ago. She paid such attention to details. Would recommend to anyone.
