    I called the place with no appointment and they were able to squeeze me in 30 minutes later. I needed a removal and new set, which they kindly said they could do for me. I'm not sure the name of the person who did my nails but it was a guy and he was super informative and friendly when I had questions for him. These are my real nails and I normally get gel x overlay on top of my real nails, but he advised hard gel and it was the best decision! I love the way my nails came out and how strong they feel now, since I have pretty weak nails. The inside was super clean and I honestly lovee how sterile they clean their equipment. They had all the correct machines to ensure no cross contamination was made when doing clients' nails. I guess the only downside is that they don't have a lot of color choices for gel x. But other than that, everything else was amazing! They also offered so many different services, which I would love to come back and do. At the end, my nails came tech offered me a massage and hand massage which was super nice of them. Definitely will come back again for my nails and other services I need!

    Salon was nice and clean with plenty of parking, but I would not drive out of my way from 4S ranch for this ok mani. nothing special. Regular gel mani is $40, but if you want ombre nails you have to pay $50 extra for that ombre design!! say what??? That's craziness. Upside is that it is next to Home Goods If you are willing pay upwards of $150 for a mani, you can get really pretty designs! I was not impressed, so my search for another go to nail salon continues...

    Our experience at AO nail salon was unbelievable! The hospitality and kindness shown to us by the staff was out of this world. The owner was so kind and introduced herself as well as joined in celebrating our girls night! They offered sparkling wine, coconut water and a variety of other options. They had plenty of colors to choose from and different package options. The pedicures were high quality! They ended the service with a brief shoulder massage, which was such a nice touch. My friends and I are so grateful of the care provided and want to highlight what an exceptional salon this is! We will be coming back in the future, thank you!!

    I absolutely love my nails! Aria did an amazing job at making sure they looked perfect and was very precise. I highly recommend this place they are great every time!

    This was my first time in this nail salon. I was a walk in and when I entered I was helped the minute I walk in, while I waited to get seated i noticed the place was super cute,clean and welcoming, I had questions since it was my first time getting gel X .Kelly along with the young girl in the front desk answered all my questions and were very kind. From start to finish Kelly made sure I was okay (gave me beverage) and even after applying the color she asked if I was absolutely sure about my color choice.For my first time I personally really liked the end result. I will definitely be going back

    Matcha latte nails

    I made an appointment online for a fill but decided to also get some nail design done as well. The woman at the front desk was super nice and flexible. The place was very clean and serene. The devices used for the gel manicure use special technology to only target your nails instead of your whole hand. Tiffany was amazing. I showed her an inspo pic of matcha latte nails and because the pic was a little grainy, she freestyle painted each white line of marbling. 10/10 worth the price!

    Called about 20 minutes before I walked in and they accommodated me with my request for a mani pedi with nail art on my hands. Joy did my pedicure and was very sweet and friendly. Aria took a complicated reference picture and recreated it so well! I'm beyond happy and the place is very bright, clean, and large. Will be coming back whenever i get my nails done again!

    Highly recommended! Clean manicure and relaxing pedicure. Shout out to Linc and Aria! I'll definitely come back.

    Updating my review, owner reached out and made things right. The experience was night and day from my last experience. Helen was my nail tech and did a wonderful job with a gel Mani. Everything was very clean and staff was very friendly (offered water and was very friendly). Great friendly service and staff.

    I've been going here for the past several months as I needed to find a nail place open in the evenings (so many places close by 6pm). Every design I've asked for they do a fantastic job! Very happy that I found this nail salon!

    This is the service I am used to getting from them

    This is my update after my earlier one. They deserve credit following up and standing behind their service and doing their best to resolve the issue

    Silver cateye with a blue/purple color shifting cateye gel coat on top -- GelX, almond shape
    Sydni Z.

    This review is well over due. Tiffany is AMAZING, I had never done a GelX set before (10 years as an acrylic girlie) and she explained the process perfectly. And her attention to detail is PHENOMINAL. Every set I have had done by her so far has just exceeded my expectations. I applaud anyone who handles a pedicure and Angela was just as amazing, again, great attention to detail and so sweet. The aesthetic inside is clean and comforting and all around a happy and enjoyable environment.

    Great service. My mani/pedi was very relaxing! My mom fell asleep during her service. I will definitely return.

    I had a very disappointing experience with an eyebrow wax and henna tinting service performed by…read moreEmma. I clearly requested light brown, natural-looking brows to match my hair color, and Emma assured me that's exactly what she would do. Unfortunately, the results were the opposite -- my brows were tinted jet black, nothing close to what I asked for. When I expressed my concern, Emma's explanation was that my skin was dry and absorbed the dye, which I did not find to be an acceptable or professional response. To make matters worse, the waxing left my face severely red with small sores that are still present more than 24 hours later with no improvement. I paid $95.00 for a service that did not deliver what was promised and has left me with visible skin damage. This was the absolute worst experience I've ever had anywhere. Save yourself the embarrassment and pain and don't go here! This is in response to Emma's comments Your comments are fabricated. You did try to lighten it but it clearly didn't work. I was obviously upset. You instructed me to go home and use shampoo on my brows to try and lighten them. I feel like my review was honest and fair. I didn't mention how you texted me the morning of to change the time of my appointment 30 minutes later. Or how you asked me "If i'd ever come back." Your comments only confirm my statement that it's the worst experience ever! Shame on you!

Finding someone who truly understands your eye shape and knows how to customize a set instead of just doing a one-size-fits-all style is so importan and that's exactly what Trang does. From the beginning, she took the time to educate me, explain what would complement my eyes best, and make recommendations based on what would actually enhance my features. I also really appreciated her honesty when discussing my previous lash extensions. She was helping me with an outside fill. She wasn't just trying to sell me on a new set, she genuinely cared about the health of my lashes and creating the best possible look moving forward. The studio itself is such a relaxing experience. It's clean, quiet, and has the perfect environment to fully unwind. One of my favorite details was the elevated platform for your legs during the appointment. It was a small touch but makes a huge difference in comfort, especially during longer appointments. Trang is incredibly patient and takes her time perfecting every detail. You can tell she truly cares about her craft and wants you to leave feeling confident. She has officially become my go-to lash artist whenever I'm back in town, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, customized lashes and an elevated experience.
