Been coming here on and off for ten years or so and theyโ€™ve consistently done the best work Iโ€™ve seen. They pay so much attention to detail on the shape of my nails and Iโ€™ve never left dissatisfied. The only place Iโ€™ll go to if I can help it. Plus I always get compliments on my acrylics

I do not recommend, I came here a few days ago and showed her clear photos of what I wanted and even explained it multiple times. I had to come in between work so at first I felt bad to be that annoying client that had a hectic schedule but i thought she would understand where I was coming from because Iโ€™m a hairstylist and we work in similar fields. She showed her frustration towards me throughout the appointment and convinced me that I needed things I wasnโ€™t asking for. I wanted just a manicure with builder gel and the design from the photo I showed her. I ended up leaving having to pay for fake tips that I didnโ€™t want, my natural nail being cut after growing them out and a design that looked nothing like what I was asking for. I even asked her to fix it the first time and she got upset with me but still didnโ€™t do what I was asking. I ended up paying $83 plus a $10 tip. I hated them and ended up going to a different salon and they did my nails exactly like I was asking and I love them now. Iโ€™ve been trying to get their boss on the phone for days about getting a refund but they keep telling me that heโ€™s out of town and they can only give store credit, but I donโ€™t know if I would want to come back after the what I went through. Iโ€™m going to include photos, the first one will be the inspo photo, the second one is the nails I left safari nails with and the third will be the beautiful set I got from a different salon (they even discounted the price and stayed open later for me after all I had been through)
