Appointment right on time. Service was educational and informative. Salon style suite was cute and…read morecomfortable. Because of the education I received while there, well worth the price. Salon was organized and I appreciate the one person at time visit! The tech Bernadette was quite knowledgeable and shared her knowledge during the visit.

I FINALLY FOUND IT FOLKS!!!…read more I've been going to Refresh Nail Spa since winter 2023, after searching for salons that offer drill-free manicures and focus on natural nail care like IBX treatments. I ended up finding Bernadette, an independent nail tech who works there--and she's been an absolute gem. While she does use a drill (contrary to what I originally searched for), she's incredibly skilled, gentle, and precise--so much so that it never damages my nails. Her technique is both efficient and mindful, striking the perfect balance between machine and hand filing. Initially, I was getting regular gel manicures, but Bernadette truly cares about nail health, and she suggested switching to builder gel (BIAB). It was a game-changer. Builder gel doesn't require soaking off and allows for continuous fills--meaning you can build on top of your last set without compromising nail integrity. Since switching, my nails have grown so long, strong, and healthy, and a single BIAB manicure can last me up to 6 weeks! Beyond nails, Bernadette is a wonderful person--easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. She also specializes in pedicures for clients with diabetes or other health conditions, which speaks volumes about her expertise and sensitivity to clients' unique needs. If you're looking for a thoughtful, health-conscious nail experience, I highly recommend Refresh Nail Spa and Bernadette in particular. My monthly visits have become something I genuinely look forward to.

I am so glad I found this shop because Carine is the best and so sweet. I have not had my nails or…read morefeet done in over a year since my nail tech stopped doing nails last year. So I was out and just decided to look on Yelp and this shop came up. I called and was able to get in the next day for a structured nail set on my natural nails and a pedicure. What I really like was that she does everything you can think of so if you want the gel x she does, acrylic she does that, and she goes the structured gel which is what I got. I am trying to grow my nails back out again and this works so well and I can't wait to see my nails grow. The pedicure was so great and the manicure she did very well especially with the cuticle work. I've never had anyone do the cuticles and nail foundation work as well as she did. As the pictures show I I got French on nails and feet. The only thing I would say that maybe it's just me and I use my hands too much, but the French didn't last long. It's already peeling...but other than that I love my nails. Can't wait until they get longer so I can get them almond shape!

I almost hesitated posting this because now she's going to stay booked out…read more I was searching for a new nail spot and Yelp recommended a place I'd never noticed before. I read the reviews, looked at the pictures, and thought... hmm, let me try it. I called, and she was taking walk-ins. At first, I honestly couldn't tell if it was a salon or what because I wasn't familiar with those buildings that have multiple mini businesses inside--but now? I'm completely sold. She was amazing. A M A Z I N G. The service was refreshing. She listened, asked questions, and made sure I was 100% happy with my length, shape, and style. I never felt rushed, and the conversation was great. She loves Christ, and the whole atmosphere was peaceful, chill, and welcoming. It's a smaller space since it's just her, but please don't let that stop you--it's not uncomfortable or crowded at all. Honestly, it makes the experience feel more personal. And bonus--there are so many other small businesses inside! While I was there, I got my son's haircut and my daughter's hair braided by neighboring businesses. Super convenient. I looove my nails and my toes! Definitely worth checking her out at least once--you'll probably keep going back. She takes appointments and walk-ins. I didn't take pictures because she's still getting settled and setting everything up, but trust me... go. Support small businesses. Woman-owned. Black-owned
