I’ve been coming here for a while, today was my first time having Olga, she did AMAZING. She was super sweet and welcoming. I knew I wanted French tips but not sure what designed I wanted and she did her thing!! She’s very precise with her work. Definitely will be asking for her from now on!!

the first time i really liked my nails but after getting a fill in the shape is not consistent it’s actually terrible & the atmosphere is not welcoming at all to me but to each its own. the tech who worked on my nails should pay more attention to nails and not her phone, she tried to put primer on my nails but missed a couple steps then realized and tried to go back. i will not be returning

TERRIBLE!!! I have never in my life been to a nail salon this bad. I went 6 days ago and got a gel pedicure which over the phone they said was only $50 then when I got there they charged me $55. The pedi was awful didn't get any of the skin off my feet, barely rubbed my feet, and worst of all my gel polish is chipping off already 6 days after my pedicure. I also got my nails done and they have a price board in the salon, I don't recommend reading anything off of it because it's WRONG. I got a basic acrylic overlay fill-in which I thought was $30 based on the pricing board, and when I checked out they told me my nails were $65. When I asked about the pricing they told me they charge $5 to cut your nails, another $5 to file your nails, and another $5 to shape (even though my nails were already shaped in almond prior to arrival). Oh and btw my gel acrylic nails are also chipped after 6 days!! I have never been to a nail salon where they charge you for cutting and filing your nails, but since they do it'd be nice to have this communicated!! Especially since they are dealing with college students! Service was good so it's unfortunate that my experience was so poor! DEFINITELY WONT BE GOING BACK AND I DONT RECOMMEND THIS NAIL SALON TO ANYONE!!! Would rate a 0 if I could

Only giving 1 star because my nails do look good. However, i got my nails done first thing Saturday morning and last night noticed this hole on the side of my pinky. As soon as I left the salon my fingers were itching and burning like CRAZY. It’s Sunday night at 9pm and it still hasn’t stopped. No matter how many times i wash my hands. I reluctantly gave this salon another chance after my last artist was extremely rude to me after I nicely asked her to chance the one design she had done because it was not like in inspo picture at all and was ugly. But of course I didn’t tell her that I just asked if she could change it to the design i had on my other nail and after that she was extremely rude to me during the remainder of my service. Needless to say, after both of these interactions I will not be back and I will be finding a new nail tech. I will add that while this spot was not there when I left the Salon. It occurred due to the burning i experienced and am currently still experiencing. This is the third time my fingers have been burning after getting my nails done at this establishment. I can love how my nails look and not the over all experience. The response from this review demonstrates the rudeness and attitudes I referred to in my review. I will also add that your girl did cause an injury to my other pinky but I didn’t include that in the review because she did apologize for this. My main concern is why my fingers are still burning, this should not happen. This is a sanitation issue.
