I picked the first nail shop on the list closest to me..I walked in and the shop was pretty empty I was greeted and welcomed pretty quickly which was nice. Will was my nail tech and he did not disappoint. I shared my inspo pic and what I liked. He made suggestions on colors and length and I agreed. He was very friendly and confident in himself which made me comfortable with trusting him with my nails. We made small conversation and overall I was really impressed with my nails. I wish I lived closer because I would def come back. If your looking for someone who is nice and can pull of a Pinterest inspo nail design pic ask for Will!

Just left the salon with my daughter and my nails are horrible it's supposed to be just a basic pink and white. First I made an appointment days ago for 9:30 a.m. when I got there only one nail tech was there. I called ahead of time and asked if they had a certain tip of nail and they said they did and it would be $70. When I got there they said they didn't have that tip because they don't use it often enough and tried to create the tip but I just opted to get square because I wanted the actual tip and not have the nail built with acrylic. They said that my daughters would be $70 with a design and at the end it was $90 for her nails. I'm a local and I will never return here because they can't even be honest about their prices from the beginning or about the nail services that they actually offer. So I left unhappy and didn't want to make a scene because they had a full overbooked salon.

I'm editing my review to reply to the so-called nail tech that did my nails. We did not get extra long nails we came there at our appointment time and your salon was open already. My daughter got one nail with a design in acrylic flower and she has short nails as do i. The nails are uneven on both of my nails some are thick some are not I will upload a picture and I will also let everyone know to never come to your nail shop. You're unprofessional and your work is shoddy at best. And to answer your question yes I have been to many salons around town and yours is by far the worst.

Alright, guys. I gotta tell you, this place is very very good!
I stopped by randomly after skiing for a massage. And since the massage (feet and shoulders) was amazing, I decided to get a manicure there as well. Look at this picture! I wasn’t sure they will be able to do what I was asking for, but Nahy did exactly what I wanted! She is fast, very precise with symmetry and shapes (I’m very picky when it come to all those things).
Amazing work! I’m super happy and highly recommend this place for all the services they provide!

I got my nails done by Naxi and it was a great experience!!!! She was very patient and very nice. I love it when I go to a nail salon and show a picture of my desired nail salon and the nail tech is completely understanding - that’s the experience I had with Naxi! She was gentle and fast but yet paid so much attention to detail . Excellent work!

First I’d like to say to the lady that left a bad review you’re tripping cuz those nails look pretty good.

I didn’t get my nail tech’s name but my nails look really nice and he did an amazing job and I appreciate they were able to take me as a walk in. A little more than expected but tbh the price is reasonable considering it’s an expensive area and I got designs on my nails.

Wonderful experience here getting my nails done before my wedding. ❤️ Spacious, open concept, with a comfortable design; friendly and knowledgeable staff; and so many options for a relaxing mani-pedi. They squeezed me in easily and took my simple idea of what I wanted and made it amazing. My nails turned out perfect and still look great a week and several hikes later. I can’t thank you all enough for the wonderful experience.

Friendly, but ultimately a bad experience. Got nicked with the sander on my skin a few times (not sure the employee realized).

Pedicure ended up ruined, which is the bigger red flag. The employee made me put my boots on before my pedicure was dry. When she first told me to I said “are you sure, I don’t think they are ready” — after a bit of back and forth (I didn’t want to be difficult,m) she convinced me to put them on and, sure enough, when I took my boots off at home, pedicure was lumpy and messed up.

It was $95 for a French gel manicure and a regular pedicure - not unreasonable, but would expect to have my pedicure be wearable for that price.

I recently had a gel pedi at Perfectly Polished in South Lake Tahoe and it was such a relaxing experience! The couch was super comfortable and they offered me wine, tea, or water – I felt so pampered. My daughter and her friend got gel manicures with some cute designs and they couldn't be happier. Making appointments was a breeze, and the location next to the Driftwood Cafe is really convenient. The staff is incredibly nice, and we're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!
