Lee is AMAZING and a whole vibe! Hands down, she lays acrylic like no other nail tech I’ve EVER been to! I can go over 3 weeks between appointments and not a single nail has ever broken or lifted!! I’ve been faithful to her for over 3 years for a REASON!! She’s really not here for the super fancy designs but her brother Tommy is a PRO at all the latest trends!! They give the best pedicures and the energy in the salon is amazing!! You won’t be disappointed! 🤩🥰

I had the best experience ever in such a long time. My eyebrows were a mess and I was in desperate need of a good manicurist/nail artist. This place did not disappoint but I was able to go there and get quality care on every level. The hospitality is home friendly and welcoming from the time you walk in the door. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lee and his WHOLE FAMILY (because they’re all talented) and will give you the best service possible and stand by their work. I’m truly happy that I finally found a quality inexpensive place to get all my needs met in one day. Please look for Lee if you want to enjoy a fun relaxing manicure!! She’s the best!!

I’ve been coming here for the past few months and love this place! Tommy has been doing my nails and does excellent work - he always takes his time and is very attentive. He does great designs and my nails always last way longer compared to other salons. Lee the owner is great she is always welcoming and very sweet as well!

Lee and Tommy were so nice. Tommy did my nails and I am happy with them. The gentlemen that did my pedicure. I didn’t get his name… but he was very attentive. I had Both of my boys get their haircut, and it was a little pricier than I expected we usually pay $15 each For their haircuts. They price the kids cut at $30. The women that cut their hair was very sweet to them and they were really comfortable with her. I’ll be back for my nails, the location is very convenient I’m happy to have found a good shop
