I got a cat-eye hard gel manicure from Keri, and they turned out absolutely stunning, the shift and depth in the light are incredible. Not only is the work flawless, but Keri was professional, meticulous, and so attentive to detail throughout the entire process. You can tell she truly cares about the quality of her work and making sure you leave happy. If you are looking for a skilled professional who delivers amazing results, I recommend Keri very highly! I will definitely be back.

They swapped what was put on TV based on what the customer preference (sealer from calming mountains to AGT (my friend and I a relatively young and we enjoyed and had our eyes on the tv)). It was done fast and clean AND even got pod with my nails at the end! I requested my nails towards a reference photo with some changes and they more than happily complied. Complimentary water! AND they said come back anytime and they fix our nails up! (so sad we don't live in Cali - we are just visiting) Cons: When they did the purple UV light it did hurt a little bit (felt like tiny shots), but they asked if it hurts I said no cus really it hurts for a less than a second! When we went in the building to only have four people working, so I see why their schedule seems compact All throughout a great place I recommend!

He started measure gel x tips and I had to remind him we were doing acrylic. He should have said that he cannot do acrylic because, he cannot do acrylic. It was some of the worst acrylic application I have ever seen in my life. Sloppy, lazy, trash. I should have got up after seeing his acrylic application on my first hand. That's my fault. When he was done filing I asked if he could even out the nails because they were lumpy. He proceeded to make the shape even worse and still lumpy. I asked if I should wash my hands after filing (every shop I have ever gone to in my life has told me to) and he said no. I should have stopped him here too. It took him an hour and a half just to put the acrylic on. At this point I realized he was either talentless or purposely messy my nails up. So I skipped the nail art I asked for and asked just for plain gel polish on top. At the end I told the lady at the front that I hated my nails and showed her and she understood and told me I could come back and have someone else fix them. Initially I accepted the offer but I have since canceled the appointment. I would rather die than trust this shop ever again. If I could give Jay 0 stars I would. Beware, this guy is horrible.

The lady in the first chair told me yes, and said I was the last customer yay, right? So I thought about 4 customers came in after me, and they were told to wait. Once they started on me, I felt as if they were rushing to finish, just to start the next customer. Gel pedi: She was yanking at my foot and nipped my cuticles several times. I told her she was hurting me, and she laughed. Gel mani: took his time, but turned away to talk and cut my cuticle. I did love the thin French tip, but by Friday (2 days later), my gel polish started to chip and peel off. Gel french-mani plus gel pedi plus tip was about $90. NOT WORTH IT. here I am less than a week later and 4 of my nails look awful. WASTE OF MONEY.

Sadly, Superco and Ocean Star are both gone, but rising from the ashes is a bunch of fun stuff, like Smoking Tiger and this jumbo-sized nail salon next door, Magical Nails. Nothing too magical about it, but this busy salon has about 10,000 polish shades to choose from, and a printed menu with prices so you know what you're getting and how much it will be. All the salon chairs have the back massage function which kills two birds with one stone. Easy parking right in front, walk-ins welcome, and no waiting for your mani-pedi. I stuck my nose in to have a look, and was getting beautified just a few moments later. Minus one star for some unnecessary upselling, and a sour face from the greeter when I declined. But a free bottle of water cheered me up. Would I go back? Yes.

I chose this salon expecting a professional experience. When a business advertises licensed…read moreprofessionals and charges premium prices, I expect professional-quality work. Unfortunately, this appointment fell well below that standard. I was originally quoted $80 for a Gel-X set, but once I arrived I was told there would be an additional $10 charge just to remove my existing Gel-X. From there, nearly every option came with another surcharge. Glitter was an additional charge, and placing the glitter at the base of the nail instead of the tip increased the price even further. The pricing structure felt confusing and constantly changing, making it difficult to know what the final cost would be. After hearing the additional charges, I decided against getting a new set and paid $45 for a manicure after the Gel-X removal. For $45, I expected my natural nails to leave looking polished and professionally finished. Instead, I left with: * Jagged, uneven nail edges that were not properly filed * Visible product residue still left on multiple nails * Uneven nail surfaces * Dry, unfinished cuticles * Nails that looked incomplete rather than professionally manicured I took photos immediately after leaving because I couldn't believe this was the finished result. The service itself was also disappointing. My technician, Annie, repeatedly stopped working on my nails to answer phone calls and attend to other matters. The appointment felt interrupted and rushed instead of relaxing. A manicure should feel calm and focused. This did not. The salon also raised concerns for me. The supply/storage area visible to customers was cluttered and disorganized, and I observed nail files being reused, which made me question the sanitation standards. Even checkout was frustrating. I wanted to leave a tip for the technician who performed my pedicure because she did a nice job, but the payment process made it difficult to direct the gratuity to the correct person. The biggest disappointment is that none of these issues should exist regardless of the price. Whether a manicure costs $25 or $45, customers should leave with nails that are smoothly filed, free of leftover product, and professionally finished. Those are basic expectations--not luxury extras. I left feeling disappointed, overcharged, and with nails that I could have filed more carefully at home myself. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this salon.

I arrived about 10 minutes early for my appointment, but my service didn't begin until about 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment. I understand that delays can happen, but there was very little communication about the wait. My nail tech was quiet, which I didn't mind at all. However, when I asked questions throughout my appointment, she either didn't respond or didn't acknowledge them, which made the experience feel uncomfortable. I originally wanted acrylic nails, but I was persuaded to get Gel-X instead because I was told they would last longer. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. I wasn't planning on leaving a review, but after only one week, several of my nails are already lifting. For a $120 service, I expected much better quality and durability. At this point, they feel comparable to press-on nails. Overall, I'm disappointed because I spent a lot of money expecting a long-lasting, professional set, especially for a special occasion. I hope this feedback helps improve both the customer experience and the quality of the service.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and seated right away. The salon had cute decor, and while it wasn't overly busy, there were still a good number of customers inside. I was short on time, so I just wanted a simple gel manicure and hoped to be in and out. The nail technician who helped me was sweet and nice. I mentioned that I'd been standing outside in the sun waiting to get seated at One Piece Cafe, and she kindly offered me a bottle of water. I chose a bright orange shade that's perfect for summer, and I was finished in about 30 minutes. The salon was clean, and my manicure was done very neatly, which I loved. I paid about $45 plus tip for a basic gel manicure. I usually get acrylics, and that's almost what I pay for a fill at my regular salon. That said, the quality of the work and the excellent service made it worth it, so I really didn't mind. they got me done just in time to head back next door for my table! If I lived closer, I would definitely come back. Thank you, Harmony Nails!

Unfortunately,…read morehe wasn't available during my recent visit, and my experience with the technician I had was quite disappointing, especially given the salon's higher price point.I brought a reference photo for a pink cat-eye design, but it felt like my preferences weren't really heard. The technician kept pushing different colors and designs, reassuring me to "trust her" instead of following the photo I provided. While we did eventually switch back to my original color choices during a correction process, I was still charged for the adjustment. Beyond the miscommunication , the physical application has some noticeable flaws. The structure of the nails feels a bit warped, and instead of lying flat and flush, they point noticeably straight up.I really appreciate this salon's potential when working with Rick, but this particular visit missed the mark on both communication and technical execution.

They do a good job on the service, however both times the nail tech has gotten up to either help another customer (take off their nails) and answer the phone (to schedule appointments). And likely bc of the interruptions, I did not receive the hand massage, which is listed as part of the treatment in the description, on the booking platform. When paying $75, I do not think it's much to ask for technician to focus on the client they are helping. Also, there is a $2 fee for credit card. For a premium nail salon it feels a bit run down and dirty.

All of the nail techs are great! I request for Cici when I want to do cat-eye or more simple gel manicures. If I want more artsy designs, I'll usually request for Ella or Karen. Gel manis are still $45, with full cat-eye adding an additional $15. Hand drawn art design nails may add between $4-6 per nail, depending on the design; while if you're okay with stickers, it may be $2-3/each. More intricate nail designs will require more time & cost more depending on what it is -- so I would inform them if this is something you want to do so they can allot the right amount of time for your booking. I typically spend about 1.5-2 hours to get my nails done (including removing the previous months' nails, nail trimming, shaping, cuticles, etc.) As stated before: Easy parking in the First St. structure behind the shop.
