She really cares about the health of your nails too, unlike most nail salons who will damage your natural nails just to get paid. She has so many colors and supplies and is a true artist! I've been getting my nails done by her for about 2 years and I have NEVER had a bad experience. The shop is clean and private and she's so professional. Seriously, go here!!!!

My skin has never EVER looked this bright, refreshed, glowing and clear in my life! I'm excited about improving my skin from now on and adding the signature facial service to my self-care list! Please go and see Nakia ASAP for the signature facial. She really pulled out all the stops!

I'm currently growing out my nails, so I requested he keep the length while shaping and filing. He nailed it (pun intended)! The results were exactly what I wanted.

There is no design that I have presented her with that she can't do. In fact sometimes the pic I show her is just an idea of what I want. Patrice will switch it up to suit my personality. It's like she's in my head! She also has a line of shea butters that smell delicious and are so moisturizing. I use it for my feet and the ash is gone:) I also use her cuticle oil which has revitalized my cuticles. Check her out if you want that mani/pedi to be fire!

She takes extra care in trimming my nails and getting my cuticles in the right shape. Trice does a phenomenal job on my overlays and they last me about a month. I didn't want acrylic so we tried this instead since I keep breaking nails with just gel polish as I'm unintentionally rough on my hands. I always get major compliments on my nails after getting them done. I really love that everyone is masked and the place is never packed, making it easy to not be close to anyone while waiting. Everyone here is very nice from the time you walk in from the time you leave. I plan to keep coming to get my nails done and may even branch out for my eyebrows and lashes.

Nail Haven did a beautiful job on my daughter's nails for her senior prom! We normally both get SNS…read moredip with simple designs like different color french tips on each nail or line work at our regular salon, but for such a special occasion she wanted something more elaborate. After reviewing their work on Instagram, we decided to make an appointment here. Originally, my daughter wanted to stick with dip to maintain her natural nail length, but the nail tech explained that the specific design she requested could not be achieved with dip powder. She transitioned to Aprés Gel-X instead, and still made changes from the original inspiration photo to simplify needs and costs after consulting with the nail tech. The final result was absolutely gorgeous and prom-ready! The only surprise was the number of additional fees added throughout the appointment, so she called me a few times to confirm costs before proceeding. I was happy to cover it for such a memorable milestone event. In the end she got one nail with light blue french tip, two nails painted blue and two nails with painted butterfly or flower design on each hand where in her original design it was a different design on each nail. While we will likely continue using our regular salon for routine nails due to the pricing structure here, I would recommend Nail Haven for weddings, prom, and other special occasions depending on your design aspirations.

I was so thrilled to support), cozy spa-like atmosphere, clean. Talented nail techs who do great work. Genesis was my favorite. Cons: - Everything is an added fee to where I felt taken advantage of. I had to pay $15 extra because I got a fill beyond the 2-week recommendation. Come on now. Also, every design seemed to fall in the "tier 3" category. I didn't even want to get designs because they were so high. I don't mind paying for good service, but at some point, you feel overcharged and not valued as a customer. - I don't appreciate that I've had a black mark by my name for a few nail technicians. If there's a problem, speak to me directly. One nail tech I had a black mark from, I came in contact with her brother, then found out she didn't even know there was a mark by my name and didn't know why. Odd. - Seems to be a higher turnover rate, so don't get too attached to one tech. I wish I could have been a longtime customer but the added costs no longer justify coming here anymore. But if you've got the funds, go for it!
