    Perfection! Thanks Helen!
    Martina R.

    I'm on this SNS Dip Powder wave but it's hard to find salons that do it and do it well. The first salon I tried was cool but it was far. The second was overpriced and the quality of work wasn't as good as the first. Exactly 14 days after I got them done, my nails were lifting as if I had a regular acrylic overlay - this dip powder doesn't do that smh! Full Disclaimer: I'm one of those people who is easy going about their nails but I'm also not going to be happy about sloppy work. If my nails are not picture worthy, then I don't return! I found this salon on Yelp and it tickled all of my favorite spots: Great Rating? Pictures? Convenient Location with Parking? Customer Reviews? Wine and Wifi? (not really something I look for in a salon but this was only a plus to the plus)! Reasonable Prices? I mean, it almost sounded too good to be true! I hate to admit it but I was "that customer" who called 30 minutes before closing and asked if it was too late lol! But Nina was very polite and accepted my patronage. When I arrived, the salon was clean, it was empty and even though I was the last of the Mohegan's, they still treated me as if I was the first customer of the day. The decor was cute and hands down, this place had the best selection of colors for dip powder. Helen did my nails; she was swift and precise, like she knew what she was doing and like she had been doing it for a long time. Even though they were closed, she took her time! She helped me find a color and suggested something I had never seen with the dip powder. I'm impressed and I will definitely be returning! There's a reason it says they specialize in the SNS Dip Powder on their business card; it's because it's true

    Love Nina! Only person I trust to do my nails. She converted me to SNS and back to getting colors instead of pink and white. Highly recommend Nina and her staff.

    This is the cutest nail salon!! I've followed Nina around through 2 other nail salons and there is no one I trust with my nails more. She's been doing SNS and Dip Powder nails for me for almost 6 years and her work is impeccable! The salon is very clean and has adorable decor!! They have hundreds of colors for regular , gel and dip powder nails and they also do gel pedicures!! There also wine!!(unfortunately I didn't have any since I came at 10 am before work but next time for sure!) Overall I love this salon and am going to be making the 15 minute drive from Center City Philly regularly! They also have wifi!

    So this is a mixed review. Overall I really like this place. Everyone is nice and professional…read more They give quick back massage as apart of their manicure. I love a good massage. I wish their equipment came right out of the sterilization packages but I've only ever seen them clean stuff with alcohol. I try to go first thing in the morning so I'm the first one to use said material but who knows. They do however use the plastic in the pedicure baths, which I like. I've been to this place twice. The first time I had an amazing experience. I was referred here by a coworker who suggest I let May do my nails. I arrived for my appointment and was immediately started. Everything was GREAT! I have zero complaints. I got a dip powder manicure and gel pedicure. My nails lasted for at least 3 weeks without chipping of any sort. So, I was excited to come again. However, this experience was slightly different. I was sad to learn that May no longer worked there and I would have to see someone else. I was also told Summer did nice nails so I booked with her. I was started as soon as walked in and Sue did my pedicure. At the end of the day the pedicure was ok and ended up looking nice. There were just a few things I didn't like. Sue appeared to be very distracted. She kept looking over her shoulder and watching was everyone else was doing. Every other tech seemed to be focused on their client but she appeared to be all over the place. She spent zero time clipping my cuticles. She filed, scrubbed, and rushed to paint. She started to paint my nails and then tried to go back and clip a few. Then after 3 toes she stopped. They did however look neat when she was finished. The best thing about then pedicure was the massage. After my pedicure, Summer (my nail tech), still wasn't finished her previous client. Come to find out that client was going to get a polish change with another tech but that tech was busy so Summer did it instead. I waited for about 15 mins. When it was time for me she apologized for the wait. Over all my nails were done nice. However, she was not as neat as May. I had left over nail powder residue on my hands. I did not have any of this before. Hopefully they last as long as they did the last time. I will def go back and hopefully not have these problems again.

    My wife was gifted a gift certificate to True Color Nail and Spa. Between being pregnant and giving…read morebirth to our child, she hadn't had the opportunity to use it until now. Yesterday, she finally went in for a manicure and pedicure for Mother's Day, only to be told at checkout that they would not honor the gift certificate because it was "expired." This was not a promotional voucher or some free reward. It was a first-party gift certificate that someone paid real money for. Since when does the money someone paid to a business "expire"? Keeping the money while refusing the service is nothing short of theft. Absolutely terrible business practice and an awful way to treat customers, especially a mother trying to enjoy a rare day for herself. Avoid at all costs.

    DO NOT RECOMMEND JULIE IS HORRIBLE AND A BULLY!!!!! I came here to get my nails done before I went…read moreon a trip in Cali and the lady Julie was very rough with my nails. I showed her a picture of coffin nails with a pink tip on them and she decides to just ignore what I show her and keep my nails almond when I specifically told her I wanted the new shape. I did not want to ask her to reshape them, considering she was already being passive aggressive towards me when I asked her if she could do the nails, I showed her in the picture it felt like she didn't want to even do them at all. Her attitude was disgusting and she'll make you feel like you're in the wrong for asking for what you want. She finished doing my nails and I left somewhat happy because I thought they were pretty enough but when I showed up to work, everyone told me to go back and get them redone because I couldn't see the scuff mark she left on my tips and my nails were already scratched up, forming these weird bubbles at the top. So I came back the next day to ask her to just redo them and to shape them how I wanted her to shape the mind you she charged me $50 for short almond nails with a white tip on them and I even tipped $10 for them. She proceeded to yell at me saying none of her customers ever came back to her, asking her to redo nails and that I'm the first one as she was just so out of proportion acting crazy yelling at me in front of others and even when I was the last one in the shop basically telling me that there's nothing wrong with clearly there was even the first lady when I walked in there she saw there was something wrong with my nails and called her over. Even though Julie had no clients from 5 to 7 PM. She had an attitude with me when she should be grateful. I even came to see someone so terrible as a nail artist if that's what she wants to call herself. The entire time when she was doing my nails, she was digging into my skin. She even left me on my skin. She was even filing my nails so hard and this was because she was angry and she didn't treat me that way yesterday. It hurt to the point where I wanted to cry also the entire time she was speaking to the other woman who has some sort of skin problem. I don't know her name, but I'm gonna call her out because she was sitting there half the time that I was getting my nails done and sure they were talking about me. At the end, she has the audacity to ask me to give her five more dollars because she made my nails shorter. AFTER SHE ASKED ME THIS HER FRIEND STARTED LAUGHING ON SOME BULLY BEHAVIOR.! I should've just not gave her the five dollars and asked her to take it out of her tip from them day before because she was nowhere near deserving of even getting a tip. IT TOOK HER CLOSE TO AN HOUR TO JUST DO FRENCH TIPS SHE CANNOT DO FRENCH TIPS JUST ADMIT THAT YOU CANT AND DONT REDO THEM FIVE TIMES OVER ON A SINGLE NAIL!!! Do not go to Julie if you want someone who is half blind to do your nails I feel bad for those who are her clients. They are probably older age and don't even notice the mistake she makes and she makes everything such a pain to just fix. If you can't be criticized, honestly, you shouldn't even be working in a nail salon. You should be somewhere practicing how to do nails because I have never been more disgusted with somebody who can't do nails and complains when someone comes back to get the nails redone because you've never learned to properly do nails. Julie do better and do us all a favor and get off that chair and go back to nail school. One more thing to add, she had the audacity to tell me that my nails were messed up already before I even came there which defeats the purpose of me even coming to you to fix my nails because if you claim you're so good at what you did on my nails The day before then why couldn't you even fix what I brought you? You know you're in the wrong Julie do not go to her if you want your nails to look like somebody did them while blindfolded And to torture your nails even more by digging into your skin just because she's mad. Get some new glasses, Julie and maybe be considering renewing your license being a nail tech.

    At first I wanted to give this place 5 stars because the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is…read morenice, but the quality of the nails just isn't acceptable. I paid $55 for gel manicure and gel pedicure. And tipped $8 (not because I liked the nails, because my nail lady was nice). For one, it seemed like she was in such a rush, that she drew blood cutting a few of my nails, and pushed the cuticles wayyyy too far back. I usually get tips, but decided not to risk it trying a new place. Thank god I didn't. Almost everyone of my nails isn't painted all the way, with corners and sides bare. My toenails weren't properly treated for ingrowns/dried cuticles or even cleaned. (sorry for my gross toe pics lol) I honestly won't be going back. $55 wasted because they didn't start off looking good and they're starting to chip already! I got them done two days ago.

The owner always has to come over, and once that happens, the Tec gives you nothing but attitude. They walk away from their workstation. So unprofessional!!! The owner would have to step in to fix my nail. TODAY was my boiling point . But it's crazy because if I'm paying for a service and a look, do it the right way. Let me be clear the owner Nancy is nice and would accommodate you. But when you have to always deal with their present nail tec, it makes the experience unenjoyable. I would rather pay an extra $20 and deal with professionals and nail Tec that know how to do nails. My nails look they are about to take off like an airplane.
