absolutely obsessedddddd! my nail tech was super gentle when doing my fill in (i usually have a problem with aggressive nail techs at other places) and didn’t rush the process. he also actually did pre and post nail care– so many don’t anymore😭 i honestly wasn’t sure if they were gonna be able to do the design i wanted, but my nail tech absolutely ate down. i asked for stiletto shape and he did it perfectlyyy. they’re so sharp– literal knives! he was filing them downnn with skill, i love it. the designs are so nicely done with focus and care, he knew what to do. everyone was also very sweet! they offered me water, and my nail tech was really patient (lol those designs were stressful). he took his time, while also not taking painfully long (about an hr and a half). i loveee my nails so much, and i’m even showing them to random people unprompted; i need everyone to see how cool these nails look🙂‍↕️ i cannot wait to come back for my next set

Update: Within the first week I started to notice cracking, peeling and chipping. Zero stars Unfortunately I had a horrible experience here. I walked in asking for a gel manicure with 2 tips for fingers that broke off. I was talked into trying Builder Gel to make my nails stronger. He told me it would be $45 and I agreed. The builder gel BURNED TERRIBLY. It was extremely painful. I told them and they said to just leave my fingers for 3 sec. It was still a bad burn. At that point they should have switched me to regular gel if you see your client is in pain you need to change plans not tell them to just suck it up. It really ruined the experience for me I couldn't relax after that. There was still lingering pain. I really should've just left. Not to mention the technician was on his phone the entire time and the service felt rushed. I asked for Matte top quote which turned out to be $5 more. Not a problem. But at the end I was charged $55?! If the original price was $45 and $5 for matte( which looked streaky) then the total should've been $50. I didn't feel like arguing and just left. The nails look OK. Way too thick. If you put builder gel too thick and use a lamp too strong it WILL BURN.

I literally came all the way from Atlanta to get my nails done here. I had been purposely walking around for over a week with two broken nails and the rest of them badly chipped because I am completely over the nail shops in the Atlanta area. Whenever I have gotten my nails done, I am never thrilled with the outcome. They are just ok but throughout the week, they’re not even something to pay attention to for me. I have gone from nail shop to nail shop and haven’t found anyone that I like. The issues I have with most of them is either the shape is off, the designs are not worth the money, they don’t respect my appointment time or for the IG nail technicians I want to try, they want you to send them cash to book an appointment and have a list of dos and donts before you can even book. No ma’am, no sir, I am not the one for that foolishness! I called Dream Nails the day before my flight and made an appointment (specified Victor or Henry) without any issue. When I arrived, they got me in the chair for my pedicure right away. They don’t really speak a lot of English and they're not trying to deceive you with pretty lights, chairs and things to look at while you’re in the shop but rather, they focus on excellent work and that’s all I want! Everyone that I spoke to was also very sweet and kind. My nail anxiety usually starts with the shape. My fingers are pudgy (lol) so I need a nail shape that is narrow on the sides but thick enough (not overly thick) not to break. Henry absolutely nailed the shape out the gate!!! I was so happy that I started taking pictures while he was doing my nails and sending them to my good friend back in Atlanta. He made sure to check in with me to ensure I liked everything he was doing which made me feel so at ease. He proceeded to create designs that seemed like they were stepping off of an art canvas. I was literally blown away and making audible gasps to show my excitement. I’m always interested in the backstory so as I was asking questions, I learned that the owners, Victor and Henry, are brothers who came from Vietnam 3 years ago. They are only 24 In 22 years old. Neither of them knew anything about nails when they arrived in the US but they taught themselves by watching YouTube and TikTok videos. Then they started bringing their friends from their high school in Vietnam to the US and teaching them how to do nails. I am just so impressed with these young men, and I hope that they continue to be successful. They are open seven days a week because they are building something for the future. And I have found a place where I can always get a quality and exciting set of nails done. I absolutely can’t wait to come back again because this is the best my nails have ever looked in my entire life. Thank you Henry, Victor and the lovely gentleman that did my pedicure which was also great work! Important Note: They are a cash only establishment but they do have an ATM located right inside of their entry doors. Fortunately, I had cash to accommodate my service.
