I came in with a photo for a cute idea for nails. Absolutely NAILED it!! Super friendly staff, accommodating, and efficient taking care of my sisters and me.

I love Natalie; she does a fantastic job on my nails. She is gentle, kind, and very detailed.

My only complaint about the place is the bathroom is disgustingly dirty. The sink has mold and filth thick enough to scrape off. Just stay away from thetoiletm.

They have issues with gay men. My two friends walked in and asked for simple manicures. They looked us up and down, and you could see her disgust. She said they were all booked. We said we could come back in an hour. She said they wouldn't have availability until 6 pm. I've never felt more uncomfortable. Talk about a double standard. My friends were people of color, and these Asian ladies didn't want us there. And it was obvious. I felt very uncomfortable for my friends and for myself. Don't come here if you are gay or a man. I'll never go to another nail salon again. This is why we usually do our own nails. We wanted to come in because we are celebrating Brahams visit. Thanks, ladies, for showing you can be racist and sexist, too.

I have been here twice so far. I don't normally ever do my nails. It's rare but when I randomly decided to get them done one day I literally ran into this place and I thought, why not. I have not been disappointed so far, my nails are good, I'm not the type to have long extravagant nails and these simple color gel acrylics are super cute and amazing. They take their time and are very careful. Might just be getting my nails done more often. And the price is decent too.

First off this place needs a complete makeover inside ! The outside looks nice until you walk in . I called the place yesterday to advise them that it had not even been a week I got my nails done and one of nails broke . I was told to come in today at 3:30 to have the nail repair done . I came in and the lady acted like I didn’t call yesterday. So rather than dealing with the ignorance, and continuing back and forth I told her I will NEVER consider them again in front of Al the customers so they know what type of people they’re dealing with . I definitely do not recommend this place at all. Their customer services is terrible . They don’t even deserve a star .

I am taking off one star only because I didn’t get the exact set that I asked for. I asked for the design in the picture. It’s okay. Not the end of the world! The staff are kind, efficient, and hard workers. The prices are okay, but the other areas could be more clean such as the nail station and the chairs.

I went here when on vacation for gel manicure. I called for an appointment which they did make. It’s pretty small and very hot inside. I didn’t know any of the technicians so I was given a male tech that could not remove my previous gel polish. A different tech used a dremel to remove it, which is terrible for the top layer of your real nails. I have always had them wrapped which is how my nail tech always does it. Then he over-removed my cuticle which made applying the polish a hot mess. Very uneven and looks sloppy. Lesson learned, I will avoid this salon in the future. The technician next to mine however did a really fantastic job on the customer next to me, so I do believe they have the ability to do beautiful work. I just didn’t get lucky enough to receive that kind of nail tech.
