I recently had my manicure done by Solomia, and Iโ€™m absolutely thrilled with the results! She is incredibly gentle, detail-oriented, and truly talented at what she does. My nails have never looked this clean, neat, and beautiful. The shape and polish are perfect! The atmosphere was relaxing, Solomia made me feel very comfortable, and the whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and caring nail technician. Thank you, Solomia โ€” youโ€™re amazing! ๐Ÿ’…โœจ

I had a manicure today with Christina and couldnโ€™t be happier about the process and outcome. She is meticulous! She was extremely careful with my sensitive cuticles, yet cleaned it perfectly well causing no damage. Unfortunately, my cuticles are prone to bleeding that makes me nervous during manicure but with Christina I was in safe and caring hands. She is also a talented artist and I opted for a creative design instead of a regular French. The outcome blew my mind! I feel like Iโ€™m wearing a piece of art on my nails, subtle yet striking. I am thrilled with my new mani !

THRILLED with gilded ritual! I trusted them with my nails and toes for my destination wedding, and needed my nails to look great for weeks. My nails usually grow really fast, and this is my nails 2.5 weeks out from my appointment. They were perfect!

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience here was quite disappointing. I booked an appointment in advance with a top technician and was informed that the service would cost $165. Plus 15% discount as new customer. When I arrived, the receptionist confirmed the same price. However, after my manicure, the technician went up to the front desk and whispered something to the receptionist โ€” after which I was suddenly charged an additional $50 for removing the nail polish I came in with. I was told that if the polish had been done at their salon previously, there would have been no charge, but because I was a new client, they had to add the fee. This policy was never mentioned when I booked, not posted anywhere on their website, and not communicated before the service began. Removing old polish is a standard part of the manicure process and takes the same amount of time regardless of where it was originally done. Unfortunately, this felt misleading and not transparent. I hope the salon clarifies and discloses such additional charges upfront. To the owner of the salon please note: Undisclosed or surprise charges are typically considered โ€œdeceptive or unfair business practicesโ€ under most U.S. state consumer protection laws. โ€ข Businesses are required to: โ€ข Display or disclose all prices before providing the service. โ€ข Get consent if an additional fee will apply.

Hands (nails) down one of THE best places for a proper Russian manicure. The attention to detail, cleanliness and the quality will not disappoint. Durdona is the absolute best there is and I have learned my lesson going to other places. It simply doesn't compare.
