Jay is the best nail artist I have ever been to!! He is extremely talented, and I am flabbergasted with how these nails turned out!!!! They are so perfect for my birthday, and I will be coming again when these nails have run their course. Jay is a very chill guy, very easy to talk to. Or sit in silence with.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Iโ€™m simply amazed by the service at this nail salon! The team consists of very pleasant gentlemen. It was my first time ever getting a manicure and pedicure done by a man, and now I regret not coming here sooner. My pedicure and manicure with polish, thorough cleaning, and treatments for hands and feet were done in just an hour and 40 minutes โ€” so fast and efficient! The staff is super friendly and everything was perfect. Iโ€™m definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended!!! I love this place. Iโ€™ve been coming here the past few months and Jay has never disappointed! Heโ€™s very creative and accommodating, and itโ€™s always very nice and clean. Going to other previous techs in charlotte, my nails would tend to break easily or my set just wouldnโ€™t last as long (I do a lot of strenuous work). Jay is the first where I havenโ€™t experienced any of that! Thereโ€™s such great quality in his work. Safe to say I will be a repeat customer here!
