I have visited this nail salon a couple of times now, and I have to say they do amazing work! I've had two different nail techs (Larry, and I can't remember the lady's name) they are so friendly and very talented! I highly recommend this place. They also did such a great job on my 6yr old daughters nails for her birthday.

Tracy always does an incredible job on my nails! She is so meticulous with her work and she takes her time to make sure my nails look flawless. I always leave the salon happy when I see Tracy. The salon itself is clean and has a lot of great gel colors to choose from. Itโ€™s really easy to make an appointment online. I donโ€™t always have time to get my nails done but when I do I will gladly keep coming to Gem Nails!

We have finally found our nail salon! My wife and I are both so impressed by the services we received here. We each had the signature spa pedicure and added gel polish. When we entered we were greeted immediately and all the staff were very kind and welcoming. Linh and Martin did a phenomenal job with our nails and provided exceptional service. Iโ€™ve had bad luck the last 4 times Iโ€™ve been to other salons, so Iโ€™m very grateful for the experience we had here. Both technicians were very detailed, gentle, communicative, and went above and beyond. I thought I might have a gel allergy for a while, because every time my toes went under the UV lamp, my nails felt like they were burning. I told this to Linh and she explained why that might be the case, but assured me that her process was different and it was unlikely to happen. And she was correct! This is the first painless gel polish Iโ€™ve ever had. The prices were also very reasonable, as we paid $48 for the pedicure + $13 for gel polish. It was 100% worth it for the best pedicure weโ€™ve ever had. We canโ€™t wait to return! ๐Ÿ˜Š My only suggestion would be to update the website with the services listed in the booklet we were handed to choose our pedicure. Otherwise, a 10 stars experience! โญ๏ธ

I just had the most incredible pedicure of my life! I have been going here for years and always love the service, quality, cleanliness, and friendly staff. I upgraded to their new heaven volcano pedicure and that was the best experience at a nail salon I have ever had! Soooo relaxing - Martin gave me the best massage ever. They really went all out with the pampering and great products. Well worth the extra time and money because it is a fantastic massage and pedicure in one. Thank you so much Martin! I will always be a customer and now I will always get the special heaven pedicure!
