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. Youโ€™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 tryโ€”and Iโ€™m so glad we did! The service was amazing, and I received the best manicure and full set Iโ€™ve ever had. The nails are clean, perfectly shaped, and they have so many beautiful new colors to choose from. Iโ€™m already excited to go back and see Eric againโ€”hands down the best set Iโ€™ve ever gotten! My fiancรฉ 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!
