    My daughter and I were here visiting my CofC student and I wanted to treat them to a mani. The space is super cute, clean and modern. I can't believe all the negative reviews! This place is fantastic! Linh did tips and a dip mani for me and a dip mani for my daughter. It was fast, efficient and our nails look amazing. All of our nails turned out beautiful. Something non-Asians need to understand about Asian business owners. We can be really loud and sometimes indelicate. It's truly a cultural thing - try not to be offended and just go with the flow and you'll have a better experience at any Asian business. The owner is a doll and funny as hell. I will be back when we visit again, and I'll definitely get my daughter a gift card to come here regularly.

    Kathy did a great job on my pedicure today! She was very thorough and I'm happy with the results. The nail salon was clean, quiet, and calm. I was immediately seen, attended to, and offered a drink. It was $45 for a basic pedicure, with regular old nail polish (similar pricing to other downtown Charleston spots).

    6 days later and regular nail polish hasn't chipped  unheard of for me. Totally impressed.

    I was really impressed, and I'm picky. I got my nails done on vacation a few days ago, and they still look great even with just getting regular polish. I'm hard on my hands, so usually regular polish chips quickly on me. Nina did my nails and she was so nice and fun to talk to. If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.

    We had an appointment for a group of five for manicures and pedicures. We waited and waited. It took about 45 minutes for the first one of us to be seen. I'm not a fan of the set up of the salon. It's open with the waiting area in the middle. The selection of colors and brands of polish is small compared to other nail salons. There is plenty of free parking because it's located in a plaza.

    Called in specifically requesting an appointment for just after 4 pm and repeated request to confirm. Showed up just before 415 to be scolded for being late and told they had to take walk ins. Waited over 30 minutes when I specifically booked here because I was on a tight schedule. Lady who did my nails was listening to a music device and had earbuds, so anything I said required repeating numerous times. Manicure hurt as she filed down my nails more than I've had before especially since mine were natural, healthy and had no polish. After only a few days my gel nails didn't only all break but my nails broke painfully low beginning two days after. Went here for convenience but will book outside the peninsula moving on. It will take a while before my nails repair.

    I came in today for the first time for a mani/pedi. What a cute salon! Love the layout - everything is tidy and clean. Tran did a fantastic job including assisting me with color selections. The contrasting diagonal tips are perfect and exactly what I wanted! Can't wait to come back!

    Clean, beautiful. Great service. Reasonable prices. Nina is great. She is the owner and on top of it!

    Awesome nail experience! This place is super clean and so pretty. All of the workers were very sweet and accommodating. I got exactly what I wanted.

    Not a very pleasant experience. They didn't have the original color I picked out so It took me a bit longer to pick a second color. I tried to explain how I would like the design but the nail tech was seeming to be impatient and mentioned at one point he wanted to go home so he rushed through my French nails. I don't know if this was something he wasn't too good at since he was getting slightly upset with making some mistakes or simply was close to his shift ending. I originally wanted to get my toes done but after all that I just decided to leave as soon as my nails were finished I wasn't feeling welcomed at all at this point. Paying was a not pleasant either. She went to set the card reader and left right after. The total was around $45. I actually wanted to pay full in cash but didn't have the correct change to tip 20% which I shouldn't have. I had $60 so I wanted to pay $55 although it was a bad experience I still tip anyways. So when she came back I asked if she had change for a $10. She replied "that she has ones and it was stripper money" and "how much was he worth" Im assuming she thought I wasn't gonna tip well.... I paid $55 and went to another nail salon to do my toes. I truly hope that no one else experiences the same encounter.

    Gel fill in

    I was visiting Charleston and went here for a fill in. They did a great job on my nails. I would definitely return to this salon if I lived here. Everyone was friendly and the salon itself was beautiful.

    This is an okay place for you to get your nails done. Not the best, but not the worst. I've gone in the past because they are located right near where I live, however I may find a new nail place to go to. The staff is very nice and friendly. In addition, they give you complimentary beverages. In terms of nail services, I would say they are just okay. Although my nails turned out looking very nice and pretty, I was a little concerned about the sanitary there. I do not think that they clean out the pedicure tubs very well, nor do they have a protective plastic wrap around it like I have seen in some salons. This just kind of grosses me out considering so many different people put their feet in there throughout the day. I think it's a bit pricey, especially if they aren't cleaning up to the standards they should be. I get a gel mani and regular pedi and it totals to be $70 plus tip. I will say that unlike most other nail salons in downtown Charleston, they do offer parking (which is a plus!!).

    They made me feel like I was inconveniencing them by being there. Very rude and their work was crappy.

    Nina even played the role of mediator, helping my mom to pick out coordinated colors - which was no easy task.
