Very disappointing, as I had been recommended to come here. I think my first and most important mistake was not specifically requesting Ryan. An older women did both my pedicure and my manicure. I originally was going to get a gel manicure with designs but, after she did my pedicure, I decided not to do gel or designs, as she did a very poor job. I should've just walked out right then. The paint is uneven on my fingers and toes. It does not go all the way in and it also separates. She rushed everything. Very sloppy. I had to ask her to even out my finger nails after filing, as they were jagged. There was no hot towel or massage or anything moisturizing for my manicure. My hands are very dry now. All of the nail colors look old and expired. I will never return, except maybe to see Ryan and only Ryan. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. (I am writing this a half hour after I walked out and these photos are what my nails look like...) Edit: My nails were damaged after coming here and I had an indented line that I just had to ride out until my entire nail grew out.

Ryan is literally the best hands down, I call him the shape god cause he always gets the shape exactly how I want it. He is amazingly talented and come from an extremely talented family! If you are looking to get your moneys worth go to Helen’s and check out Ryan. You won’t regret it ❀️
