2025-07-03This place is perfection. From the decor to the cleanliness, I highly recommend this nail salon. The owner is so friendly and accommodating. They honor appointment times, and do an amazing job. I have never left disappointed and I am picky with my nails! All of the nail techs are very talented. They offer many different services, and always take their time on your nails.

2025-07-17This was my first time getting my nails done and I didn't really know what to expect, but Vangie was so helpful and she did a FANTASTIC job on my nails!! I'm obsessed!! I showed her a few inspiration pics and I think she captured what I wanted perfectly. She made sure to ask me input on what I wanted throughout, too, and was clear with pricing expectations. For any other first time girlies, it did take much longer than I expected, like 3 hours total, so keep that in mind.

2025-09-09I knew this placed opened not long ago but I had been going to the same nail salon for the past 3 years and wasn't looking for a new one. However, the last couple of times I wasn't happy with the service. I always get SNS powder nails and the place I had been going to used to do 3 coats but recently was doing only 1. When they have you soak your nails half your finger has to sit in the acetone and for a half hour if not longer. It makes my nails so brittle and horribly dried my skin. The smell was also tough to bare. After a nail badly broke just 3 days after I had them done this last time I was fed up. The prices have continued to rise since covid and it wasn't worth my hard earned money. A couple people had told me how great First Lady Nail Salon was when they went so I finally checked them out for myself and let me tell you they are absolutely fantastic!!! First of all it's woman owned and she's right there when you walk in at the desk and she's so pleasant to speak to over the phone. I made a same day appointment then got held up at work so I was running late. I called to inform them and see if they rather me reschedule. The owner was still so welcoming despite the fact they had to stay open a little late to finish my nails. I didn't get the name of the young woman who did my nails but she did a great job. I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she didn't even ask to see the photo a second time. She completely nailed the design I was going for and used a technique I had never seen done at my previous nail salon. While I could tell she wasn't thrilled to be working late I never felt like she was rushing through the process. She took her time to make sure my cuticles were looking good, she did the shoulder massage while my nails were in the UV light drying, and she made sure I was happy with the work along the way. I really liked that she put a cotton swab of acetone on each nail and wrapped it in foil then wrapped my hands in a hot towel. This helped remove the previous powder on my nails but didn't destroy my nails or skin because it wasn't left on for 30 minutes. She got my nails cleaned up so quickly I was wondering why every salon doesn't do it like that rather than have my fingers soak in acetone. I very much appreciated that they stayed open late to finish my nails. The owner was nothing but friendly. The place is decorated beautifully. It looked very clean and organized. I will happily spread the word that First Lady Nail Salon IS the best. I can't wait to return and get a spa pedicure! Also, their prices were fair for the great quality of work!!

2025-09-20The best nail experience ever! They are so caring and sweet! They make sure you love your nails before you leave. They know what the are doing and are true professionals. The atmosphere is so tranquil and relaxing. I have been searching for an good nail salon but this one is a hidden gem! If you want good quality nails and to be treated good and leave happy go there! You won't be disappointed and I'm very picky about my nails being the same shape and size and not lumpy like half the place do. You don't feel rushed even if they are busy! A massage., a drink, hot towel, lotion, cuticle oil all included!
