The only nail shop I’ve visited in ages where my gel manicure stayed completely together for two weeks straight. I’ve visited 4 nail shops local to the area before trying this one. (See photos for reference) - The first photo is when I got the Gel manicure on 7/12/25. The second photo is today, 7/25/25. I’m particularly rough on my hands (always washing, cleaning, always in water, using household cleaners) & my gel manicure has literally stayed together for two weeks. No cracks or chips. Nancy is the best & has definitely made a loyal customer in me. Book your gel manicure with her. She’s super sweet, diligent, and she makes sure your set is perfect before you leave. Don’t forget to tip her! Look no further, this is the shop you want.

Found them on google and let me just say I was impressed. I had originally gone to another salon to get my dip french tips and I hated that you could see all these bubbles and the acrylic nail and they were soo chunky. I wanted a natural look and they really came through. She removed the old nails and gave me exactly what I wanted natural looking french tips. You can’t even tell she had put an acrylic tip for a short nail I had. Very sanitary and clean establishment. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Nancy! You really made my day 😊 I added a before and after pic for reference

When I first moved around here, I was sad to leave my former nail place which was now a 35 mins drive from where I live. I went through a few horrible places until I found Lovely Nails! I am delighted to have found my new favorite nail place! The team is great, service is fast and the nail techs are skilled.

I don’t typically leave many reviews but the service was so good I really felt compelled to tell people how great this place is. I wasn’t expecting much since I just wanted a quick pedicure before a trip but the moment I came in, the energy was incredibly positive and warm. I’ve been to many nail salons in the past and most of the time, it always feels like the salon workers don’t want to be there or are very overwhelmed. When I came into Lovely Nails, it was busy but I was greeted with a smile and lovely attitudes from everyone. Secondly, I am Vietnamese and speak Vietnamese. It was probably clear to them that was the case when I signed in for my appointment but I didn’t feel pressured to have to speak Viet and was able to just stick with English, which is honestly very refreshing. I always felt obligated to have to converse in Viet with previous nail salons, which was fine, but most of the time I prefer to go in and just relax instead of having to chat in my native language and share a lot about my personal life. Most times I don’t mind it but I really needed a day to relax and they respected that for me by just picking up on my cues. :) And lastly, Diana who did my pedicure was so warm, gentle and kind with me. Most times, especially when they know I’m Viet, the salon workers would be rougher with me and maybe skip a couple steps or take shortcuts, assuming I’d just let it slide since I was “one of them” — not this time! I received a wonderful paraffin pedicure treatment and gel pedicure which was very enjoyable, and the toe nails look excellent! I did not feel rushed at all and truly enjoyed my appointment the whole time, which is something I haven’t been able to say for most of my previous nail appts at other places. Overall, I am so grateful that this is just a walk away from where I live now. It’s so great to see a nail salon that truly cares about their customers and treats everyone with such warmth and positive service! I’ll definitely be back!!
