2025-12-02I just moved to the area & have been trying to find “my” nail person. I’ve had a couple appointments here now, I have not been disappointed. I think I found my place! Sammy did my nails the first time & did an amazing job. They ended up being the nails I got engaged with & they looked great! I went back & had Brandon do my Christmas nails & he did such a great job!! He went above & beyond to make sure they looked good. I can’t recommend this place enough! They do a great job of making sure you’re satisfied with everything step by step so you have the opportunity to say you don’t like something. You can definitely tell they take pride in their work!

2025-10-14Brandon always kills it with my nails. He is very attention to detail and is always willing to try new things with me. His salon and staff are very friendly. The salon is always clean. I never feel pressured or asked to do additional services. If I ask for an additional design or something extra I am always told the price off the add on before we move forward. I have never been shocked checking out for things added as it was always communicated.

2025-10-23They always do a fantastic job! I’ve been meaning to post my nails in the past and keep forgetting. I get dip powder everytime and they do fantastic! Not to mention their design skills! Butterfly Wings on my thumbs 🦋 (As I get more designs done I plan to add them to this post!)

2025-07-03Brandon Le did an amazing job!!!! If you’re looking for somewhere to get your nails done don’t walk run to this shop. Everyone so nice but Brandon is my favorite. He asked questions about my nails to see if I like them & any concerns I had.

2025-06-20Went in for manicures with my daughter as a treat for the beginning of summer and wasn't very pleased with the quality of the service. Gel nail polish was unfourtunately lumpy and applied poorly. Had the polish on my skin and had to clip it off of the side of my nail when I got home. Brought it up to the lady and she went in the back and handed me a nail file to take care of it myself. Ended up going to a store to get the supplies to just give myself a gel manicure for next time. Spent the same on products as the service that day. Sadly will not be a returning customer.
