    Not what it used to be. Pros: clean, nail techs are friendly, ease of making an appt, front desk greets you by name, color selection. Mani is usually really good. Great parking. Cons: Pedicures are hit and miss depending on who you get. Sometimes it feels rushed and other times inconsistent polish job. Gel removal is aggressive and damaging so now when I get gel I remove it before my appt. Recently a lot of turnover and the nail techs that I like have departed (Diem is still there though!). 12.28.25 - gel mani w/Mai was great. That woman who did my pedi left my nails a mess. She did so much touch up with acetone that it left my feet and cuticles dry and ashy and somehow it was still polish everywhere. Clearly, I'll have to remove this. I wish all techs were good like before. It's uncomfortable to have to call out someone's bad job while they're standing there waiting on a tip.

    My nails are not so "happy". I took a chance here instead of my normal place because it was close to work. I walk in.... Told the receptionist I need someone who doesn't overly buff and file because that makes my nails thin. I mentioned it 3 times so she understood. What did she do.... Give the worst nail tech in the building. I had to tell the nail tech to soak instead of file multiple times. I know they believe in speed but I believe in excellent nail care. She pulled out the polish to start painting without shaping my nails so I stopped her and paid her for what she had done which was ruin my nail beds. :(

    Hard gel with design.

    This place is so great! They almost always are able to squeeze you in! Have gone to the same girl twice now... I don't remember her name but she's their go to for design. Parking is free in the structure. I paid about $100 for hard gel with design.

    I love the way my nails turned out!! The salon was very clean & the nail tech did a great job on my manicure :) I will definitely be returning!

    Manicure from this salon with poor outcome. This photo is immediately when I got home from the salon.

    Although prices are pretty cheap for how nice the place is, the quality of the nail polish / way they painted my nails was pretty poor. I got a regular manicure and the color is uneven, there is polish left on my skin, and it looks worse than when I paint them at home. Will not be returning.

    Nice, but not worth the overcharge. I was charged $87 for GelX removal, new set, and French. I asked why so much and was told that it was $15 for removal and $15 for French. The price list provides $5 and up for each for perhaps that's how they get people. my nails are short. I didn't argue. I paid. but I won't return.

    Best mani pedi anywhere. Convenient in Marina center, with good parking. My favorite: Cassidy. She's been doing my mani pedi for years.

    I opted for the collagen gel pedicure because I was looking forward to a relaxing and soothing…read moreexperience, especially the leg and foot massage portion. Unfortunately, the experience was anything but relaxing. The nail tech repeatedly massaged the tops of my feet and legs extremely hard, even after I politely asked multiple times for her to be gentler and instead focus on the bottoms of my feet and my calves. I eventually explained to another employee that I have fibromyalgia, and when my pain is triggered it can affect my entire body. Although this was apparently relayed to the nail tech, she only adjusted her pressure briefly before returning to being rough again. To make matters worse, the pedicure water was cold. When I asked if hotter water could be added, the technician seemed irritated and reluctantly brought over water from an electric kettle. I was honestly surprised the foot tubs did not have proper hot water access built in. The massage chairs were outdated and barely functioning, which added to the disappointment. This was the Friday before Mother's Day, and I simply wanted to treat myself to a peaceful, calming pedicure. Instead, I left stressed, uncomfortable, and physically hurting. When I paid, the gentleman at the front asked about my experience and brought over a woman I believe was part of management. Her solution was to suggest that I "call ahead next time" and request someone less rough. That response felt dismissive considering I had already voiced my concerns multiple times during the service. Overall, I felt unheard, uncomfortable, and disappointed by both the service and the lack of care shown when concerns were raised. I will not be returning.

I was asked if I could wait but wasn't given a time. I assumed it would be 15-20 min wait. It ended up being an hour wait and the tech that ended up helping me wasn't even on site. He was just starting his shift. Additionally it was a male tech and I was not asked if I was ok waiting 60 mins and not asked if I was okay having a male tech for my pedicure. They still didn't have someone available to do my manicure so the owner who was also the receptionist and cashier did my manicure. This ended up being 2 hours long from beginning to end. Because the owner was the receptionist and also the cashier she was extremely distracted having to walk away so many times and upon returning kept forgetting what finger she was working on. This added to the length of time I was there and unfortunately this was not a relaxing experience for me. Also, all of the OPI color options are outdated or completely used and not properly maintained and cleaned. They look like they are refilled and do a very poor job maintaining them. Additionally no one is actively cleaning. Lots of used towels everywhere. Also there was trash on the floor and all employees including the owner just walked over and around it. No one concerned for how messy the floor or anything is. The restroom needs a good power washing. Instead of using the chairs basin for the pedicure they put a small basin that looks old and used. Also I'm not sure how clean anything is. Overall lacking a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Also it's been 7 days and my gel mani is already peeling. My pedi looks like I could have done a better job myself. Honestly I will not be returning.

I greatly needed a callous remover treatment, as I haven't had that done in probably 5 years (unless I did one myself over the years while painting my own nails; probably not). She did an amazing job, then painted my toenails in my favorite Chanel Le Vernais color, which I brought in myself. Mai did my manicure, and used the salon's black gel polish, which matched perfectly. The top coat gave it the same shine as my Chanel toenails, and everything looks great! The ladies were super fast; done in about an hour. I've had mani-pedis go 90 minutes, but not here! I would definitely go back. The salon is clean and gorgeous, and the service is fast, friendly and of excellent quality. I may have to make this a regular part of my beauty routine!
