2025-09-13Nan for the win! ๐ My fav: itโs a blast to visit the salon ++ you can be quiet on your headphones or join in on the group chatter fun - never needing to feel anything but yourself. Great energy. Their work is impeccable too - itโs hard to match their talent in todayโs industry + it shows by how good they take care of each other. Cheers to amazing girl boss business women! *Tip your stylist! ๐ ๐ฝ

2025-07-20I've been here several times and my experiences were ok until I wanted one specific technician to do my services. I got a disrespectful young nail tech and told her I'd paint my own nails because she was rude and she's blessed she caught me on a good day. Nan took over to make sure they got every dime they could. I asked for a specific technician in subsequent visits and they made sure I didn't get her. Nan got rude wirh me when I removed my acrylics. She is very cheap. Long story short, I will NEVER spend money here again. The service was mediocre anyway. There are so many better places in the Capital Region. I will not allow any business to mishandle me and think they will continue to get my money. Options are plenty.

2021-08-07Iโve had my nails done twice with ANC and tips and Iโm never coming back. The first time they were just ok but I just thought it was Bc they were busy. They came off no problem. The second time?? Itโs been 5 weeks and theyโre still on (3 fell off) and it seems like theyโll never come off. Theyโre overgrown so I had to finally cut them w scissors and file them down. one nail is so loose but stuck to one part of my nail so whenever I hit it, it bleeds and my whole finger is swollen. I just want them to come off at this point- they hurt so bad its like they used superglue or something. Update: the nail glue was stuck to my skin... Probably Bc they rush the process so much. Not cool.

2021-02-03I made an appointment, i ended up being seen 30 minutes later due to people not showing up on time to their own appointment- I was pushed to be later than expected. Nan was the one who did my nails, she seemed nice but she was busy doing 3 other things while she was doing my gel acrylic fill. (She was answering calls, doing waxes and putting people in for appointments). I know she has a business to own and run but Iโm also a customer, who felt as if I was put on the back burner. Iโm sitting in your chair, I should be a priority. My nails looked horrible when I walked out, she didnโt ask if the color was the right one when she used it on my nails, she didnโt do any care to my cuticle or dead skin around my nail, the gel wasnโt cleaned up after. The gel polish was under my nails and looks completely unprofessional. I choose a lavender color with confidence and now I regret it. She didnโt check to see if the size of the nails were the same size on each hand, she didnโt even change buffing blocks or filing sticks from what I saw, you can tell it was used by another customer. Iโm just at a loss, I keep going place to place in hopes Iโll find a good nail salon and it looks like Iโve given up. This place wonโt have my business again.
