Iโ€™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 Iโ€™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 wouldโ€™ve told my nail tech at the moment that I was unhappy. This is the longest full acrylic set appointment Iโ€™ve ever had in my life for the worst set Iโ€™ve ever gotten. I asked for coffin shape and I suppose they are but they are rounded at the tips making it look like Iโ€™ve already been wearing this set for two weeks or more. The acrylic itself is thick and doesnโ€™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.

Hands 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.
