2025-12-06Every time we go there they’re so friendly. Love them all they do an amazing job and never disappoint. It’s like a big family we all talk laugh and joke around. And today they have us gifts as we left for Xmas. It’s the small things that make this atmosphere enjoyable and us valued

2025-04-26I was able to come in for a same day appointment. I requested an acrylic manicure and showed them the design I wanted - first picture attached. I got the following results. They're not horrible. Although I feel they could be better for $70. It was very rushed, not even lasting 50 minutes. The design seems sloppy and rushed. Some of the dots of the flowers touch eachother and theyre uneven size petals, the white part of the flower is uneven and not centered, and there's some bubbling/uneven polish. At the very least, they could ask to see the picture again for a design reference. If it's too busy, ask to reschedule. Don't allow a customer to schedule if you're going to rush your work.

2025-11-03Amazing! My daughter got a fill. We couldn’t find many places to do 3-D artwork on nails and this place did a great job. Would definitely come back. And we are from Minocqua!!
