I found this place as I was getting matcha nearby and it may be a new regular spot for me! Brian is a hoot and a perfectionist (made sure my nails looked super clean). Gave a great hand massage too. Prices are also pretty good! Right now they have a deal where you can get an acrylic full set + gel for $35. Such a steal! read more

I had Brian and he was amazing. I went on a day where it wasn't too busy and he did a great job. I haven't gone to a salon in a long time due to getting cut and crazy prices. He didn't cut me or make me feel bad for my dancers feet lol. The prices are pretty good too. Great vibes there playing some good 80s music. I think this is going to be my new spot with Brian.

I called & made an appt for 4/19/25 for an acrylic nail fill ($35) pedicure ($25), exfoliating feet callouses ($5-$7), & plain colored polish. Thete's a $3 fee for credit card use. (I can't speak to walk-in appts, or decorative nail art abilities.) Brian has a conversational manner which makes it easy to feel comfortable. Rather than fill, Brian preferred to remove the old acrylic & gave me a new set for $3 extra. He did an excellent job & gave my fingernails a nice new shape. I liked the thin coat of acrylic versus thicker coats by other nail techs. Mary did my pedicure...another excellent job by a sweet lady. They have a great selection of gel as well as regular nail polishes, & great prices. I'll be back! read more

I visited this spot for the first time today. There were a couple parking spots available in the strip mall when I went during lunch hour. Tammy did my dip nails, and she was so thorough & kind! This place is very affordable for OC at $20/gel and $35/dip powder. I called to make an appointment to make sure I wouldn't have to wait long. Service was quick & I appreciate that they didn't soak my nails/cut my cuticles/massage my hands because I was in a rush, but I'm sure you could request that. All in all, great spot! read more

I had a great experience! Came here on a Friday night around 6:15PM (they close at 7) and the store was empty. We were seated right away and were helped immediately. My boyfriend got a pedicure ($15) and I got regular French tip on my hands and feet ($35). The ladies were friendly and funny! They also massaged my feet and my hands! It felt great! When she was done, I did notice small mess-ups on my nails (uneven and some smudging) but even then, it was relatively minor. I would definitely come back! read more

Highlight: Happy Hour on Nails from 2:00-4:30/5:00PM ( I don't remember exactly but before 5PM for sure). You can get a whole gel manicure for $15!! Service: I came in around 2ish and there was only one other person in the shop. Mary took care of me and was super nice! She also dealt with me trying to respond to texts while getting my nails done so you KNOW she had a whole lot of patience. In addition she was very meticulous about each thing she did for my nails. Bottom line: If I'm in the area during their HH I will definitely be stopping by. I think for the price and the service it's definitely worth it. read more

I stopped coming to this nail salon because every time I would come in, they would tell me to come back in an hour or so cause it was only 1 lady working. Understandable, but after coming back at the time she had said I was still waiting. Great ladies, and my nails would always last but the waiting time is ridiculous. We stopped going and found a different nail salon who would take us in right away. It was not worth sitting around waiting for someone to get their pedicure and manicure done. I'm sad but we would be here longer than we had to be. read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon for a regular gel mani ($27) and was surprised that there was only one other customer. This spot is clean, well lit, and smells like any other place that has a bunch of nail polish - which is to say if you are sensitive to strong smells just wear a mask :) From start to finish it took 45 minutes. I am not a nail regular (read: I get my nails done professionally less than 5 times a year) but would recommend this spot for the following reasons: - easy to find parking - abundance of color options - primer + base + THREE layers of nail color + top coat - hand/arm massage (5 min total) - bottled water (note: I'm not sure if they have this on request or if my watery eyes and panicked expression from a moment of super dry throat was why I got it) - general kindness I'll be back. read more

Came here on a Friday night, and was able to snag an appointment a few hours before I came in. Because of Covid-19 , they are operating on an appointment only basis which meant when I walked in, there was only one client and one technician. When the technician was done with the client, it was only her and I, in the entire salon, which was great in terms of social distancing and safety. Tammy did a phenomenal job, she took her time, was very professional and friendly. Also, with these scorching hot days, I was not looking forward to melting outside to get my nails done. I'm so happy I found this salon, it was so nice to get my nails done indoors in A/C and still feel safe. read more

I totally love this salon. Tammy is the best acrylic, gel manicurist I've ever gone to and that's saying something since I've been getting acrylic nails since I was in my 30s. I am now in my 70s. My daughter and granddaughter both go here too. My granddaughter always has a complicated pattern she's pulled off of Pinterest. Tammy duplicates it exactly like the picture even if there is a different pattern for each nail. She's incredible! Linda does our pedicures. She is very gentle and does a great job plus she's fun to talk to. And if that's not enough, the prices are unbelievably low. Way less than any salon I've been to. The salon is a bit hidden in a small shopping center so you have to look for it but don't worry, you won't be sorry. read more

You cannot beat the price. They also remodeled and it's very inviting. The only downside is if you catch them in a "rush" the quality lags a bit (crooked, ends up chipping early, etc.) It's really a gamble the quality of work but I keep coming back. read more

I asked her why, but she couldn't give me a reason--probably because of a language barrier, I suppose. Then I replied, "Okay, gel is fine," and showed her the cat-eye gel I wanted. She said no, so I had to change to what they had in the store--three times. And the options were very limited. At that point, I should have walked out, but since I was already sitting there and didn't want to be rude, I just went with whatever they had. And decided to stop just pedicure. She showed me the packages they offered, and I chose the regular one, which was around $35. After I finished, I tipped her $5 in cash and paid with my card. I didn't check the price until I got home, and that's when I saw I had been charged $52. I wouldn't complain if the price was reasonable and the result was pleasant, but it wasn't. The price wasn't what they told me at first, and I can barely see the cat-eye effect. The manicurist also didn't seem to have the same skill level as others I've been to. I'm so disappointed and feel scammed at this point.
