2025-11-12my nails look horrible. I’ve been getting my nails done for 12 years and I’ve never had such poorly done nails. the two nails i broke that they replaced look nothing like the rest. I didn’t even get a design but the application of the nails, the filing, the paint job, everything is TERRIBLE!!. I scheduled an appointment at a different salon to get them fixed from the parking lot because they’re so awful. manager offered no solution or reimbursement. it’s hard not to be angry when you’ve been scammed, a ‘professional’ should be ashamed to send clients away and take their money knowing they did a sloppy job. DO NOT WASTE MONEY HERE.

2023-07-06I just had the best dip manicure I’ve ever received here. May was my technician and she was so sweet and very meticulous. The shape, length, and color is exactly what I wanted. The spa is clean and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!

2024-04-17I visited this nail salon for the first time today, and I had a wonderful experience. I changed what I wanted done from what I originally told them on the phone, and they were very accommodating and did exactly what I asked for. I also was their last customer of the day and they stayed past closing time to finish my nails and make sure they were done perfectly. I didn’t feel rushed at all. The environment was nice and everything looked really clean. The staff were also very friendly. I definitely recommend this place and will be going back!
