I have been seeing Theresa for three years. When I started working with her my nails were super short and unhealthy from the pandemic. She always makes them look perfect and now my natural nails are very long and healthy. The shop is clean, organized and the people are pretty friendly. I do recommend this location! I don’t personal do designs but I would suggest if you want that to let the shop know in advance so that someone can do exactly what you need. I go every two weeks (my own preference) because I will pick at my nails otherwise and I get a gel fill and a pedicure. Once a month Theresa also does my eyebrows and she does a really good job.

Had a great and relaxing pedicure experience with Megan 🙂. I would definitely come back here and bring some friends to enjoy and wind down too. Megan was very gentle and helped soften my hard calluses as well.

This was my first time at this salon and it was amazing! Everyone was super welcoming and friendly. I went to get mani/pedi done for myself and my daughter (who is 4) and they have such a cute set up for the kids, and adults to sit close by. The nail tech that did my daughters nails was amazing at making her feel comfortable and had conversation with her the whole time which really enhanced my daughters experience. She’s already excited to come back again! I came into the salon with a picture and idea of how I wanted my nails to look, a couple of nails with a marble-esque design, and right away the person who I was originally scheduled with said that she wouldn’t be able to do that style so I was passed off to another available tech that could. Honestly I respect the first tech for being true to herself and not starting when she knew she couldn’t do it. A lot of other places I’ve been to, the tech would just wing it and it wouldn’t come close to what was envisioned, so I’m super happy she was professional enough to pass me off to a coworker. The nail tech that I ended up with did a wonderful job and I am very happy with the outcome! Even when my daughter was done and was waiting for me to finish my full set, my nail tech offered her water and some snacks. You can tell the staff here work as a team and really care about their customers and the quality of their work. I 100% would recommend and 100% will be coming back. Side note: They even have their own ATM inside the salon in case you forget cash for tips Edit: Went back again for another Mani/Pedi with my little one and this salon still was amazing. Will add pics from every visit.

tldr lessons learned: ask for pictures of detailed nails they’ve done before to have a better understanding of their abilities. my first time going in, i asked for an appt with anyone. I went in to ask if she could duplicate the nails for me on this inspiration picture. she said she can. I told her the color can be different and I don’t need the flower but I love the lines. After a great pedicure, we got started on the gel manicure. As you can see it’s not close to the inspiration picture, and I was asking her if she could bring some lines closer together but then she started adding dots and a flower I was like ??? I just wanted what was in the picture, I told her that was not it, the lines were so far apart and not following each other and some lines were not filled in. She said I wasn’t looking at it right. with my permission, she dremeled everything off and we aimed for something simpler, a colored french tip. At this point, if everything else went well I wouldve given this a better review. I can forget that previous painful experience because yes, it was a difficult ask. but, please see picture of how it was awful again, she volunteered to add the white lines, that were not filled in again. And I’m pretty sure french tips dont look like that. Also note my nails were not shaped like that previously, she shaped them like that. I called the place to ask for a fix because I was pretty upset. They said they will refund me the gel nails cost and I can come in for a fix. I was worried about getting dremeled again but they said they will remove it safely. I got a beautiful french tip by the owner himself. But, my nails were dremeled again, they started breaking off after 1.5 weeks (which has not happened before), they also did not refund me, instead, they gave me a certificate for a free gel manicure next time. sadly, I will not be coming back, I dont know who the middle aged nail tech lady is; it was my first time there and I’ll just take my losses. environment was good, prices are reasonable, people are friendly, but specifically for me it was an difficult experience.

worst nail salon i dont usually post bad reviews but it was just too much... first of all they discriminated me the lady that did my nails asked me to pay before getting my nails done but all their old white customers paid after getting their nails done. i usually get my nails done with bee and she never treated me like this! the lady that did my nails also left me after finishing my nails and never came back to tell me when my nails were done i was never properly greated either the whole experince was very diminishing made me feel extremely uncomfortable what a racist establishment and to top it all off my nail broke in a day, i got acrylics done and if they were properly done the whole nail would NOT just fall off... you wont get treated nicely at this establishment unless you are white. would not recommend!!!!!
