2025-12-15Amazing experience. I ask for Ms. Lisa and I’ve only gotten my nails done by her each time and she does great.

2025-08-14Jolie was so kind and considerate while doing my gel x set! She made sure I was happy every step of the way and exceeded expectations. Plus, she loves Taylor Swift so we bonded over that. After spending a lot more at other salons for work I wasn’t super happy with I’m so glad I found her. My nails are so cute!!!

2025-07-26Just left this salon and overall it was a disappointing experience. The AC was broken, which made it uncomfortable, and I was told to sit and flip through about 20 different books to choose a color. Once it was clear I was frustrated, one of the staff members did step in to help, which I appreciated. When the nail tech came to get me, I wasn't quite ready but went anyway and randomly picked two colors. As I was explaining the look I wanted, she kept telling me how she didn’t like yellow rather than helping me figure out the best option. I ended up choosing pink with a white tip. After removing my old polish, I told her I prefer a square shape, not rounded corners. She seemed annoyed and insisted my nails were round when I arrived. I explained that they had dulled over time and showed her the shape I wanted. Even after showing her exactly how I like my French tips, I still wasn’t happy with the end result and she knew it. The customer service was poor and there was little effort to actually listen or work with me.
