Total was about $200 with tip and I got a cat's eye gel polish on my hands as well. I used a credit card so there was a small transaction fee, but next time can use a debit card/Venmo/PayPal instead to avoid that. Overall happy with how it turned out! Vibe was also nice--really appreciated the complimentary champagne and love how close it is to the beach and park. Annie did my manicure and Helen did my pedicure--would recommend them both! I have sensitive nail beds and other than my left big toe, it was pretty painless. Planning to come back with friends or family next time! This review was drafted before and since then, I've visited a couple more times. Both with my kid again and without. I love how great they are with her. Service has been consistently good. I appreciate how easy it is to book an appointment online or by phone. They seem more organized here compared to other nail salons. Have I mentioned how awesome their location is as well? It's right by the sand. Perfect for a relaxing, no worries type of day.

LOVE THIS PLACE!! We…read morejoked we want to start flying in to get our nails done here and I'm super super picky about my nails. We're in Hermosa on vacation and my Mom and I needed our nails done. I saw this place in the distance when walking on the Strand and pulled it up on Yelp of course, to find it had pretty good reviews but more importantly I liked their work! We make an appointment on a Saturday, super friendly and easy on the phone to make an appointment. We come in same day that afternoon and were helped right away. They went above and beyond to accommodate us, my mom has a scooter and we had a dog with us, all of which was no problem. They offered us COMPLIMENTARY drinks including fancy cocktails so we had Aperol Spritz's which were DELICIOUS. Same time mani pedi which is my fav set up for time efficiency. They did a fantastic job removing old acrylics and kept my natural nails strong and healthy so I could get build Gel on my natural nails! I opted for a Ombré French with chrome but they seem very knowledgeable and comfortable with many various designs I showed them. My mom got exactly what she wanted and they were so patient with her discussing all of the different colors and French options with her. Everyone's energy was so sweet and fun and the service was amazing. The shop is also super clean and the massage chairs are amazing. A truly pampering experience.

I got the All-Natural Collagen Pedicure, and it was very relaxing throughout. I was shocked when I was presented with a complimentary drink menu that included champagne and other mixed drinks, not just water and soda! I stuck with flavored seltzer, but it is certainly very appreciated and not expected. I had called earlier in the day to make an appointment, as I wasn't sure how crowded it would be. It was very empty, which surprised me given its prime location. Very spacious, lots of pedicure massage chairs! If I lived here, I'd be here once a month. Highly recommend!

Her studio is absolutely adorable--private, cozy, and such a relaxing space to unwind. Dara is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and just an all-around sweetheart. If you're into all things astrology, spirituality, or a little "woo-woo," you'll feel right at home. Every appointment feels less like getting your nails done and more like spending time with one of your best friends who just happens to be amazing at nails. The conversation flows so naturally that the time flies by. And of course, the nails are beautiful every single time. She takes her time, pays attention to every detail, and genuinely cares about her work. I always leave so happy with my nails and can't wait for my next appointment. If you're looking for a talented nail artist with the best energy and a cute, private studio, I can't recommend Dara enough. Come for the nails, stay for the good vibes!

I was the last to receive service as I had the simplest treatment: a classic manicure. The woman was very rough and in addition to her roughness of scraping my nails, her own fingernails often dug into my fingers as she worked. (I think she was the owner as she answered the phone several times while doing my nails). Then she cut my cuticle on my thumb so deep it was bleeding and wouldn't stop. I only hope the instruments were sterilized. The area still hurts two days later. I should have stopped her and did my nails myself which I generally do. Not the enjoyable experience I expected. And the polishing job was so bad, bubbles formed. Complete waste of time and money, leaving me with pain and a mediocre manicure.
