The lady I got my pedicure with was WONDERFUL (her name is Karen), and she took her time with my pedicure and the recommendations. When I came back for my manicure though, the young lady who did my nails did kind of rush me through my service and my gel manicure started to chip within two days. I called in and asked for a repair and Ms Karen serviced me upon returning and it's been almost a week and my manicure still looks fresh! I'm so happy with my results. I will be regula booking with Bliss.

Best to just get the most basic level service because they are focused on just getting people in and out as quickly as possible, not focusing on the experience you are paying for.

They are able to work with design ideas that you come with but also offer suggestions when needed. It is a relaxing experience and has been very healthy for my nails. They offer builder gel, gel x, gel, acrylic, dip powder and more! I am excited to try the cat eye and chrome designs that they offer in the future. I will say, that it is a steep price but I do think that the service and fun vibe they offer is worth that.

The attitude of the person I dealt with makes me never want to go again. My family has paid for a half dozen services and yet there is no thought to a long term relationship.

They are actually just around the corner from me and I would have considered making this a more regular stop, but one interaction has cost them a lifetime of business.
