I have come here 3-4 times now and Jenny and her husband do an amazing job, very caring, kind and professional. Jenny does such a good job in a great amount of time while making my nails look perfect. Every time I come in I am immediately sat down and taken care of. I love when nail techs take the time to get to know who they are working on. Jenny and her husband will make conversation and make your experience great every time.

I recently started going to this salon due to its close proximity to work. I chose this salon in particular because it has great reviews and I can assure you it did not disappoint. Eric has been doing my nails and they have all the latest colors (cat eye and chrome). I enjoy the fact it is quiet and I can relax after work. Stop in and see why they have such great reviews. You’ll become a regular customer!

Recently moved to town and needed a new nail salon. After seeing the reviews and photos here, we decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad we did! The service was amazing, and I received the best manicure and full set I’ve ever had. The nails are clean, perfectly shaped, and they have so many beautiful new colors to choose from. I’m already excited to go back and see Eric again—hands down the best set I’ve ever gotten! My fiancé also had a manicure with Jazmine, and she did an incredible job cleaning up his cuticles. He really enjoyed the experience too. The pricing is very affordable, which makes everything even better. I would absolutely recommend this salon to anyone looking for top-notch service and results.

As a salon owner myself; I try not to be that person and show up close to closing time, so I called before arriving to make sure they were okay with starting a pedicure at 6:20. They happily took me. I initially was going to get only a pedicure, but decided to treat myself to a full set as well after it was offered. The pedicure was so relaxing, I almost forgot the massage chair had turned off. Jenny was thorough, took her time and made sure It was an enjoyable experience. Eric did my manicure and did a fantastic job as well. The shaping was smooth, and proportionate. I rarely treat myself but I was very happy with their work so I will definitely be back and hopefully more often than normal. I highly recommend this nail salon. The prices were competitive, the services were quality, and the employees were kind. We are new to the area so I feel I have found my new favorite spot!
