First-Time Visit & Loved It! As someone new to Nashville, I was a little nervous about finding the right nail salon. I’m so glad I came across this salon it was super easy to book online, and they also welcome walk-ins. The inside is beautiful and feels really luxurious. I got a fill-in with polish plus eyebrow waxing, and the total was only $60, which I think is an amazing value. The whole experience was smooth, relaxing, and definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Dip mani here! (And removal) PERFECT job with the removal. Very impressed as I didn't notice pressure or scraping of my real nail. Amy was my manicurist, and she was patient and meticulous but also speedy! Appreciated she went a few nails at a time and not all at once. I further requested she not hurt my right ring finger from a previous hangnail, and she did a wonderful job. Just goes to show the care and attention! LOVE the shape as this was EXACTLY what I requested, and the dip is flawless!

great service, reasonably priced, and incredible attention to detail! their removal technique is gentle, thorough, and Steven did a fantastic job with my cat’s eye ombre nails. i’m super picky with my nails and haven’t had the best luck going to nail salons in nashville, so i will def be a repeat customer here.

The only reason I’m giving this place one star is because Amy was amazing! She was kind, patient, & respectful. That said, this is the WORST nail salon I’ve ever been to: First, they couldn’t execute the design I wanted & it was a photo off their OWN website! Second, it was rushed and I hated the design I ended up with. (Original ‘Artist’ wasn’t Amy).. Then I go back to have it redone & my nails started breaking off (between bleeding and bruising, having anything repaired isn’t an option, right now).. This was ALL in 4 DAYS! If you know ANYTHING about acrylics (brand new full set) & gel polish: 4 DAYS is CRAZY to have these things happening.. These are supposed to last a few weeks, atleast! Then when I called in to let them know what’s up, they offered to take care of the breaking in 2 DAYS: perfectly fine if there’s a nail and no damage.. that’s not the case, for me.. So, I paid $130 (most I’ve ever paid for nails) for the worst experience of my life, in a nail salon.. 🙄 I didn’t even want a refund. I wanted my next set discounted and deserved the discount after this hell.. was told NO! I’ll never go back..

Sophia did an amazing job and I was very happy with the service! The nails feel very secure and the whole process was painless. I got a lot of compliments from colleagues saying they look natural. Definitely recommending this place to all my friends!
