    Just like other recent reviews have stated, this place has really gone DOWNhill. Today 12/23/23 around 3pm I walked in for a SIMPLE gel manicure. Wendy ( not sure if I caught her name right) worked on my nails. As can be SEEN she did a very careless rushed sloppy job. Before starting I made it very CLEAR what I wanted done and how I wanted them done. As she was filing my nails I brought it to her attention how they were filed uneven and that alone seemed to bother her, which of course, bothered me, because this is a service I am PAYING for, it is not free, although it should've been with this quality of work and service. Prior to this I have gotten several amazing sets and manicures done especially by Ellie, but to my understanding she has been gone for a while now doing school. I most definitely won't be coming back to this place any longer as the quality of work is poor. I hope to hear back from the manager or owner with a solution to this poorly done service, as it looks like other recent reviews have not had a response or solution.

    New business that just opened in the area. Appointments and walk-ins are both available. Stamp cards are also given. Parking: easy parking since it's located in a plaza I got a full pedicure and a full set here. Super clean place and the customer service was great! Very professional. Overall I had a great experience and I can't wait to come back.

    First and last time here. Thought I gave this place a try because they're close by. The nail artist did not cut my cuticles, instead she used the automatic nail filer on my cuticles and made me bleed in 3 fingers. Wrong sized gel x was used on my nail, leaving the sides of my nails exposed. There were so much glue under my nail that my skin is glued to my nails now. It was fast, she was rushing, finished in less than an hour and it was $60 plus 10 tip. Definitely not coming back.

    I came here because of the reviews and the fact that I work in the area I cheated on my nail salon because I needed my nails done for the weekend. A lot of places close early well i thought they were okay cute but felt rushed through the process of getting my gel mani like less than 30 min which i was nervous it usually takes me an hour i could tell some of the nails had overfill of the gel but i didn't think they would start lifting the literal next day. Im usually not surprised if this happens within a week but i came in yesterday already my index and thumb are starting to lift i say take your chances elsewhere it was disappointing I'm going to get them redone the RIGHT way on Monday.

    Amazing work every time , literally my go to shop, all the women here are so sweet and accommodating I recommend everyone to come here

    I've been coming here for a few years now and love the service. Everyone is always very friendly. They always do my toes the way I like. I also get acrylic nails and they do color powder which I love. Get the higher priced pedicure I recommend the scrub!

    Ughhhh I'm obsessed!!! 10/10 would recommend this spot I found Ellie's nails on yelp, the reviews were pretty good and they open at 9! I'm a early girl so I love that. Also on a Friday morning, I was very great full there was no one there so I got seated right away ! And I was hoping I would get Ellie because she has great reviews! I didn't ask for her but I got lucky and got her and let me tell you she did not disappoint! I showed her a photo and she did exactly what it looked like if anything she made it better ! She was recommending glitter on the snow flakes and it was chefs kiss I will definitely be back ! And the staff was super nice and friendly

    got cut three times one being very painful (see picture) had to go home and band-aid my nails :/ nails not filled in all the way and very sloppy work. went back and said they will not do a refund and had terrible attitudes. DO NOT COME HERE. i wasted $60 for a treat for myself for my birthday. *responding to the stores comment* the woman who CUT me did NOT apologize. and she wasn't there when i came back. i came back the NEXT day. the day i got them done was on my birthday and i got the birthday 10% off, thank you for that. but i had a birthday party to set up. i had no time to ask for a fix up. and never said i was happy when i left. my point is she was hurting me and didn't care. the nail work is sloppy but i can work with it. SHE HURT ME THREE TIMES. so you guys do not care to possibly infect ur customers. your store should reconsider opening again if you are NOT taking sanitary service seriously.

    Eek. Ok so I went in on a wed night, I needed a gelx take off, a new gelx set and a gel pedi. Atmosphere: dead quiet, no music, tv on mute. Service: - seated right away, but not even 2 minutes to look through colors to decide. - they don't have all the gelx nail shapes in the diff lengths. So right off the top I'm getting a new set in a different length and shape than I wanted. -As she was choosing the sizes of nails to put on each of my fingers I told her I want them narrow, I cannot have them so wide that the sides exceed my nail bed. She wanted to argue. Telling me they will lift if they are too small (they never ever do for me), and repeats that if they do lift "it's not her problem". As if I would want to come back again anyways after this first visit. It was so uncomfortable as she tries to force me to get nails baked on that I don't like. I had to be firm and she then had a horrible attitude. Energy is contagious especially while someone is touching you, so at this point I'm not even feeling well. Far from relaxing. -She then proceeded to put one of my middle finger nails on so crooked it touched my ring finger nail :/ When I asked for her to fix it she got more upset and tried to convince me that my finger is crooked. Like a straight comedy spoof. She then removed and redid it and another one but visibly mad. Soooo uncomfortable plus everyone is now listening bc it's dead quiet. There are also 2 other conversations Being had with other clients in their tax in which they were quoted one price and then charged another, and another check was asking them to be thinned out well the tech was convincing her to leave her new set of acrylics a quarter of an inch thick against her wishes. :/// The set took so much longer than normal, time drug so slow bc of the tension of me simply asking for what I want as I'm paying for it, I have to look at these for 2 weeks and I never have any issues getting them as desired anywhere else. The design was ok, not all what I showed in the picture she had to go off of but close enough as I wanted out of there so bad. Total = $100 for nails =$41 for gel pedi with callous remover Result= Bad vibes. The tech clearly is not concerned with customer service. Expensive for not really liking any of it. 48 hrs later, 4 tips of gel polish chipping Chipping on big toe I would never go back or recommend them.

    I love this nail salon and is where I choose to always do my nails at! They're very sweet and they do a great job! they always make me feel very comfortable! Paid: 60 including tip

    Horrible place, don't believe the reviews. I came here for Gel X removal (which was fine) and wanted to get a gel mani after too. The nail tech that I got didn't buff out my nails enough so you can see small bumps through the nail paint. There were also bubbles on a couple of nails that showed up after my nails were dry. When I told her she didn't even care and in fact, gave me attitude after. I expect quality when paying for a service, the results of a simple gel mani shouldn't be this .....

    Found this cute new nail salon. Absolutely love this place and definitely will be coming back. Came here the first time with my sister and we had a good time. The service was good and very professional. They did a wonderful job. A lot of color for you to pick and price is very reasonable. Cannot wait to come back!

    Miki V.

    This is the first time getting my nails done at a shop, and my friend recommended here. The place is nice and clean, and the ladies here know what they are doing, professional and super friendly. I had a great experience for my first time. And definitely gonna come back.

    Too expensive for the quality of work. I got a French tip and the tips are uneven, thick, and looks cheap. No attention to detail.

    I also love getting Ivy to do my gel pedicures, she's the best at taking her time and leaving your nails as perfect as they can be.

    Kelly is a person to go she's patient. She's funny. She's very kind. The other ones are really rude…read moreespecially the one on the front on the left side the one in the second row on the left side but the first chair I don't remember her name. she's really rude. It's like you're talking to them and they're totally ignoring you and wonder do they have low star rating? But I would go to Kelly. She's the only reason I'd go there other than that I wouldn't all the stars are for her services.

    I had a very disappointing experience with Michelle. From the moment I sat down, she did not greet…read moreme or make me feel welcome. The appointment felt rushed from start to finish. During my service, Michelle was texting on her phone instead of giving her full attention to my nails. The biggest issue was my index finger. The nail was applied crooked, and rather than removing it and fixing it correctly, she filed it down and placed another nail on top of it. The result was bulky, uneven, and clearly not done properly. The nail was also left with excess product around the cuticle area, making it look messy and unprofessional. She was also speaking with coworkers in another language throughout the appointment, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. While I don't know what was being said, the overall atmosphere was not friendly or professional. I paid for a quality service and left with nails that looked rushed and poorly done. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Michelle based on my experience.
