Amanda Bukata
2025-09-23My mom and I went here as walk-ins to get our gel manicure taken off and a simple mani/pedi with regular polish. Despite both techs being friendly, the job felt rushed and their work showed. The polish is not even with the cuticle, you can still see lumps from where the gel was. I could’ve done the same work for free. Very disappointed in how everything turned out.

2025-07-23Helen was amazing! She was super friendly and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I got a full set of acrylics with the vitamin gel, and she was upfront about pricing which I appreciated as well. She also helped me compare colors to find the perfect shade for my nails. The nail art she created was absolutely stunning, I love them even more than the reference photos I showed her! You can really tell she takes her time and puts so much care into making everything perfect. ❤️

2025-08-07They are very nice, but I have gone twice now and their technicians do not do a good job painting. They don’t go down far enough on the nail bed. Even when just finished, they look like they’re two weeks grown out. This is my nails after one week! Also, I got gel on fingers and regular on toes. They were supposed to be the same color but didn’t match at all. I want to like this place so bad, but they’re mediocre at best.

2025-10-05Moved back to town and she transformed my old nails! The price is very affordable and I loved the full spa treatment of oil a shot back rub with hot stones and ointment! Also they serve wine!! And they cut your cuticle. Not a chop shop!
