    I went to Dorado Nail Bar the day after Christmas for a new set of Gel X. Upon entering the shop, I was welcomed and asked to sign in. My first thought was "This place is fancy!". The shop is pretty spacious, there were chandeliers, Christmas decorations, marble tile floor. All the stations are well kept and clean. I got seated right away, my nail tech began to remove the existing design I had on (also Gel X). Note: there is a removal fee for gel. After the removal process of finished, I showed her the design I wanted, she assured that she can do it. We began the nail prep process, which was very efficient - she is definitely a pro! Note: there is a fee for cuticle care. I really appreciate her helping me pick out the colors and offering her opinion on what the colors will look like on real nails. She then carefully picked out the Gel X extension for each nail and applied them. 2 of them are a little crooked but this is a known issue with my nail beds, usually a nail tech would need to pay really close attention to get it aligned perfectly. The design part took the longest (as expected). She did a great job, took my feedback and brought it to life. It didn't turn out exactly like the inspiration, but the result was beautiful. I have received so many compliments in my nails! It has been 5 1/2 weeks, they are still holding strong - none is lifted, only minor chips from me being rough on them. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Dorado. There are a couple fees here and there, like extra for gold flakes, cuticle cut, existing design removal, coffin shape that bring up the total. Keep that in mind if you're looking to do designs. I felt that the extra fee for coffin shape could be waived since the Gel X extension is already in coffin shape, but that's just my opinion. Tip: Once you sign up with your phone number, they occasionally send out special offers so keep an eye on those.

    I had an amazing nail spa experience here from entering to leaving. They had so many color options that in a good way it was overwhelming but exciting to see the variety. I didn't get the exact nail color I wanted but it was cool bc I loved the shape and that was on me. Back to the experience, I would indeed come back. They offer complimentary drinks with a service and as you can see from the pictures, it's spacious inside and setup to cater and relax you during your services.

    I am extremely picky with my manicures & nail salons in general. My experience here at Dorado with Mariem was amazing! She was patient with me, and fulfilled all requests! She did a beautiful job with the design I had picked for Valentine's Day too! I love the staff here, so attentive and friendly.

    Really enjoyed our visit here. From the moment you walk in you are treated like a VIP. The service is exceptional. The technicians are friendly and helpful and take care to ensure your nails look just the way you want them. The pedicure tat we got was worth every penny. It truly felt Ike a treat and nice relaxing break from the day. The location was very clean and elegant. I will certainly return They also have a full bar! So there's that Thank you Hannah and Amy for your wonderful service!

    Great ambiance very clean and great service!

    Great color selection, the staff is really nice and they give great drinks! I only got a manicure but I I will be going back for a pedicure today because they did such a grey job. They played great music and the salon is up to date, clean, cozy & smells great!

    New nail bar near my home. Beautiful is an understatement! One of the nicest nail shops I've been to. Perfect place for a self care day. Numerous pedi stations. The nail polish alley is gorgeous. They have discounts for first timers and other individuals.

    Started to chip after 4 days! Shelak manicure

    Extremely bad!!!! I was there last Wednesday today Saturday I have almost all my shelak gone and chipped nails I posted a pic on Google reviews on the 4th day . I received a very nice reply with the owner on the next Thursday to go and fix. I called them on Friday they said it's all chargeable after one week! Although I texted them the owner msg! But they ignored the msg!

    Not as great of an experience second time around... was told chrome would be $15 then was charged $20 at checkout. Also not properly applied all the way across the nail, didn't make full application past the second half of my nail. I intend to go back and see if it can be fixed, but for a gel manicure + $20 chrome upcharge would like to get it right the first time.

    The decor and layout of the salon is wonderful. I don't think I've been this relaxed in a nail salon in a very long time.

    I had a warm welcome by the owner who walked me through the check-in and service options. He then took me to the polish selection area, where I met Ruby. I enjoyed a tasty pineapple mimosa while I received a relaxing pedicure and great nail service.

    I went by twice. Expensive for what they offer and not really happy with my nails . Beautiful store inside, but would not go back due to the nails taking too long, not well done, and being too expensive.

    Vivian is amazing. She's off on Mondays but she does great work. Work is beautiful & has longevity. Love this nail shop and how they offer many different options for colors and gems, along with experience nail techs that do great designs.

    Experience an incredible buccal facial massage today. I suffer from TMJ and tend to grind my teeth…read moreat night and actively clench my jaw while I'm awake. I was looking for a last minute facial but stumbled across Katia's and saw the buccal massage feature. While the buccal massage is not a facial (you can get a facial as an add on if you would like they do cleanse your face before starting and serum/tone/moisturize post massage)I was extremely curious. The experience is extremely unique and the service was 10/10. The facility is extremely clean and welcoming. I loved the decor and the natural lighting throughout the space. I also really like its on the second floor it gives it a private entrance vibe. I like that it does not feel like a "shop" if that makes sense. I was immediately greeted upon getting upstairs and was able to get in a room and ready. The bed and covers are so comfortable, my esthetician was knowledgeable, gave me great at home tips, and provided an amazing experience. I will definitely be returning.

    I scheduled a body and face massage because I really wanted to feel relax and relieve my shoulder…read moretension, but it was not the case at all. I kept asking the person helping me (Olga) to apply more pressure but it just went unheard. I'm not sure if this happened because it was a Sunday afternoon and she was probably tired or who knows. I saw their Instagram videos before booking an appointment and was really hoping for a good treatment, but was sadly disappointed. Unfortunately, not what I expected at all...$370 dollars later....

    I recently booked an appointment with this company however I needed to change my appointment which…read morein turn she stated my appointment cannot be rescheduled due to being a different month and I will need to forfeiture my deposit. This isn't in the policy btw. This very unfortunate because I won't ever get the opportunity to experience this service by them. So I hope anyone that books with this company understands they aren't accommodating towards rescheduling and are more interest in taking your money than your business.

    Super saddened to have to leave this review because my first visit was really nice…read more she is not accommodating at all with time. I had a 2pm appointment and attempted to enter between 2:06 and 2:10. I was a new customer so after trying a few minutes I decided to text her at 2:11 and she called me a few min later and said she was at lunch. I told her no problem , I would wait for her or come back - she stated IF* she was able to see me I would have to repay. PASS. I don't do greedy. Takes 3 minutes to sugar underarms and such a minimal amount of $ - so yes, that's greedy. I suppose I assumed it was okay to be a few minutes late because she gave me that message at my first appointment when she was late for me - and took a phone call during my service. In which I do not mind at all - I'm very easy and understanding. I am big on referrals and ironically the morning this happened I had just referred a few gfs to her. I am very friendly. I tip well and extra on holidays. I'm understanding with timing. Etc. for her not to accommodate me with a slap on the wrist as a new customer, was my sign to move on from this place! I even had had an upcoming appointment a couple weeks out and canceled that (lost my deposit on that) - but that's okay, I believe everything in life comes back tenfold when you are kind, compassionate and generous. Greed never wins! I also text her letting her know I was late due to the passing of my grandmother as I was in the middle of arranging her funeral and I left my house frantic - missed the exit. Because I'm human and stress does that. :) I hated that I had to use that card but it was honestly the truth - still no compassion! Sad. As for her work - she does do great work. Absolutely. Very clean and flawless job. That's my honesty!! But I'm a full package kind of customer - without kindness, I see right past your work.
