Hattie Finn
2025-09-15I’ve never particularly been one to complain about my nails but this was my first time at this salon and I got a full set of acrylics done and I’m deeply unhappy with how my nails turned out. Had it not taken so long (nearly two hours) and had I not had another appointment to get to by 5pm (which I ended up being late to) I would’ve told my nail tech at the moment that I was unhappy. This is the longest full acrylic set appointment I’ve ever had in my life for the worst set I’ve ever gotten. I asked for coffin shape and I suppose they are but they are rounded at the tips making it look like I’ve already been wearing this set for two weeks or more. The acrylic itself is thick and doesn’t feel like it was shaped well enough. I have a couple of nails that are sloping upwards instead of out. I am really just very upset with how they look. Will not be returning for finger nails. On the flip side, my pedicure was absolutely wonderful and I would absolutely return for a pedicure.

Danielle Martinez
2025-04-26Hands down the BEST nail salon I have been to (and I have been to a lot)! I had a dip powder manicure on my natural nails. The shape and color came out exactly like I wanted. Vivian took her time to make sure each nail was perfect. Her attention to detail and the quality she provided really made the nail service exceptional.
