What a dope hidden gem. It’s tucked between a record shop and a cool boutique, by the way. I came in for a mani and pedi to celebrate my birthday. As a guy who only does this maybe once a year, I was a little nervous about what to expect. I like to be expressive, but nail polish isn’t usually my thing (though I do love textured finishes), so I usually just go for the basics with a buffer. This time, I brought in some clear and black design ideas, and Irena did an incredible job! She made me feel completely comfortable and confident doing something that felt a bit vulnerable. No one batted an eye—just a few kind compliments here and there—and I really appreciated that. The atmosphere was calm, the service was efficient, and the foot massage was excellent. Next time I’m in KC, I’ll definitely be back

This is our 2nd time here! Everyone is so nice!! We were able to get 2 designs with normal nail polish. The four of enjoy our time here every time and they are very accommodating, especially since one of us uses a walker! Overall, they are the sweetest people ever! 100/5 stars!!

If I could give less than 1 star, I would! My advice is don’t go here, save your money!!! The whole experience was a cluster!!!! From the beginning I called ahead to make an appointment for 3 mani/pedis and 2 additional just pedicure (5 people total).I was told to put a $50 deposit down to reserve that many spots. I had to Venmo (not use a credit card!) the money! So the day of the appointment the 5 of us show up and they can only do 4 of the pedicures to start. So my daughter had to wait until someone got done! I kind of thought that was why I had to pay the deposit…..🤷🏻‍♀️ My pedicure was started by a tech and he kept getting up to do other things. My “massage” if you want to call it that was sad. I rub lotion into my legs with more vigor! The other two girls got done with their pedicures AND manicures, I was still in the chair getting my pedicure. Someone else finally came over to continue my pedicure. My daughter got done with her pedicure and she was started 40 minutes after mine!!! I was in the pedicure chair for 1 1/2 hours!! My feet are “normal”!! Everyone else in my group was done and waiting on me to finish my pedicure. They slimed my feet and legs with so much Vasoline that I was sliding around in my flip flops! I ended up washing my feet off! Then, because my pedicure took so long I told her that I was going to skip the manicure and she was very adamant about getting it done quickly! So I agreed, I should’ve just left. Not even a week ago and all of my gel is chipping off!

First of all, wow! We are not from Kansas (excluding our grandmother) and we decided to give this place a try as we saw the high ratings and the beautiful nail art that they featured! We had a fantastic time with the VERY friendly staff who were very accomadating for the four of us, including our grandmother who uses a walker! Along with this, they were very patient and tried their best to make our nails look the best that they could! This small business is amazing and is even better than the big businesses! Finally, the prices were amazing, considering the took the time that was needed to create the beautiful nail art which was created on one of the girls! We all left feeling very happy with our nails and the fact that the staff was SO nice. Thank you and we can't wait to come back once we are in Kansas again!
