The staff was very friendly and pleasant. They were cracking jokes and speaking to you , instead of just talking to each other like in other salons ! Me and my daughter donโ€™t go anywhere else to get our nails done! We got these done in November 2023 ! I want to start going more often!

I arrived without an appointment and was kindly greeted and fit into the schedule. Had fun conversations and honestly best gel acrylic set I have had in a long time. I even waited to post to see how long they lasted, two weeks later all are attached after snow shoving, dish cleaning etc. I was new to the area so I had no idea what to except but the reviews were promising. Gonna make an appointment to get them filled!

Really like this place! Spacious. Lots of stations. Clean and organized. Great selection of polish. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Great prices and they donโ€™t charge to remove your old gel polish. THANK YOU! Didnโ€™t charge me extra for adding glitter either. I got a basic pedicure. The technician did a great job trimming my nails and exfoliating my feet. Will definitely be going back!!

Truthfully, this location was not my first choice, but it will be from now on. I had the absolute best service. Toan was very thorough and had the best customer service skills. My feet feel fabulous and I felt like I got the better end of the deal! I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!
