2025-12-06Recommended by a friend who is also a long time client and I’m so glad to have given the place a chance. Very nice and clean. I’ve had Vincent, and Thea twice for hard gel with design. Each time was as expected and last me weeks without issue. Had a nice pedicure with Apple as well. May be hard to get an appointment but it’s well worth trying to find a spot! Download the app and do the waitlist, it’s worth it!

Tina, Tracy and Vincent are ALL wonderful and always exceed my expectations when I come in. Everyone is very friendly and the environment is always welcoming and clean. If you're looking for a new nail salon to try out, look no further. There's a reason they are so highly rated!
