Lena you are amazing at what you do!! Thank you so very much. I came in at the last minute and got right in. (An hour and a half before closing) Manicure was $55.. If your looking for quality nails at such a decent price, this is the place!!! I will definitely be coming back.

I tried to give this salon a second chance, but today I ended up having two bandaids put on my feet during a pedicure because the scrub broke skin. It hurt so badly that I couldn’t wait a third round under the air dryer for the paint to dry, just had to get out of there. Everyone is so nice, but ouch. They apologized and gave me a $5 coupon for next time, which is a nice gesture but I won’t be going back.

I’ve been going to see Lena here for the last several months, and cannot say enough nice things about how great it turns out every time she does my nails! Every time she does a different design for a complete look, whether it’s floral or decorative tips like this picture, and still manages to choose the most flattering shape with the designs she does. Call ahead and book an appointment, she almost always has someone seeing her when I go in — with good reason! 💅😁

Myself and 2 teen daughters got gel mani/pedis together as a birthday surprise. Everything was clean and comfortable. The ladies that took care of us are skilled and attentive to detail. Im glad we were able to easily get appointments at this popular spot on a days notice! Our nails are holding up well over a week later and worth the upcharge for gel, I can't say as much as other spots in town that are similarly run. Here I spent $80 for gel mani/pedis and $20 tip for each nail tech. So $100 total per client.
