Spoke to a friend about Russian manicures. And well I did some digging and found one nail shop that offered it. I gave it a try and am so pleased with this style. Where has this been all of my life?! We are all used to the usual acrylic and basic manicure, so if you want something that is better for your nails, you have to check this place out! Sam is so thoughtful, detailed and super friendly! Check her place out and trust me you will not go back to your basic salons.

Came here originally to get my acrylics removed (applied at another salon). Since my nails were so short afterward, Sam suggested builder gel to help grow my nails back out. I’ve been back twice, and I really appreciate Sam’s attention to detail and precision. I didn’t experience any lifting after 3 weeks and probably could have waited another 2 weeks to get a fill.

My second time ever getting my nails done. Had such a pleasant experience with Michelle. She definitely helped me bring my envision of how I wanted my nails to be to life. She gave me some suggestions and always verified with me if I was OK with the plan prior to moving forward. She was very detail oriented and I am 110% satisfied with how my nails turned out.

The decor of this place is very simple, black and white which doesnt make me feel overwhelmed. It is a very cute and chic which helps me feel more relaxed.

Their reclining chairs are leather and so comfortable that I almost fell asleep with a warm shoulder pack that they put on me. Their signature manicure for gel nails are $33. They charge an additional $5 for stamps on two fingers of your choice.

I am definitely coming back here to get my nails done again.

Because I live out of state from my mom, I wanted to treat my mom for mother's day with a gel mani and pedi with callus removal.

On their website, I made an appointment for my mom and was able to use my card so that I can pay for her services. I was also able to check-out and tip them as well after her appointment. Although, my mom was having trouble with having them use my card that was already on file, but we were able to sort it out. This was a big plus.

I give this nail salon 3 starts because of the quality of the service. The gel manicure does not look of quality and it is messy. I am not happy with this. Over all, my mom felt comfortable and felt that the service was "ok". I would not have her return to this nail salon or recommend this nail salon to my friends and family.

Finally! I've been looking for a place where the nail technician actually listens to what I want. My natural nails break easily; I need a little extra length and strength, so they don't break. BUT I still want very short and "natural" looking nails. B, the nail technician, asked questions about what style I wanted and we decided to go with gel tips. She was gentle and checked in often to make sure I was happy with the end result. AND I AM! 😁 Thank you B.

Samantha did my nails. It was okay.

Just noted that when you book, you need to pay most of the fee beforehand. I booked 75 dollars and paid 60 dollars beforehand, which cannot be refunded.

The service was a little bit rushed. Polish is 45, And the design is 30 dollars with very basic design. I thought it could do more fancy work. She just put glitter on the top and that costs me 30 dollars… It is pretty but it’s not worth the price

I typically came here to have my toes done here due to the cleaned and newly opened equipment. I had a trip coming up so I decided to go out of my comfort zone and get french tips with gems. My appointment date got changed which i didnt mind but by the end another person came in and it was apparent everything got rushed. Made me feel really bad about my choice due to some comments in design and its effort so im embarassed and wont be coming back unfortunately.

Lavie is amazing. I had a bad experience with my nails before but since i have been coming here, its been months now, I love my nails. Lavie is helping me make my nails healthy and i love the color she recommends. I absolutely recommended you to give it a try, you will be hooked😅... i wish i could give her more than 5 stars.
