The massages are wonderful, and my gel nails always last a long time without chipping. Dari is the best! She's incredibly kind, pays close attention to every detail, and always makes sure my nails look perfect. She also gives an amazing leg massage during the appointment. I also appreciate their cleanliness and hygiene practices. They use disposable nail files and single-use buffers for every client, and their nail clippers, nippers, and cuticle pushers are sterilized after each use. It's reassuring to know they take sanitation seriously. Highly recommend!

I was really looking forward to trying this salon and booked the **Healthier Eco-Friendly Gel…read moreManicure**, along with an additional French manicure service. I want to be fair and clarify that I was happy with the nail technician and with the final appearance of my nails. Unfortunately, the overall experience was made very uncomfortable by the attitude and behavior of the salon owner. When I arrived, I was confused about where to park, so I politely asked the owner whether I had parked in the correct place. Instead of asking where I had parked or offering any helpful guidance, she simply said yes. From the beginning, I did not feel welcomed. Her manner was cold and dismissive, and throughout my visit I felt as though she was treating me with irritation. The service description included a **hand and arm massage**. However, the hand massage lasted only approximately 2-3 minutes, and I did not receive an arm massage at all. Although I was happy with the nail technician and the final appearance of my nails, the full service described was not provided. I had also paid extra for a French manicure. While choosing the color, I asked whether I could use a different base color for the French manicure. The owner gave me what felt like a very unpleasant look and responded rudely and sharply, **"THAT IS EXTRA $5."** I had no issue paying an additional $5 if that was the salon's policy. My concern was the disrespectful and condescending way she communicated it. At checkout, I misunderstood the credit card policy. Because I had entered my card information when booking the appointment, I thought my card had already been charged. As I was leaving, the owner called out, **"Ma'am, you have to pay,"** which made me feel embarrassed. Once she explained that the card was only used to hold the appointment, I understood and paid for the service. After I paid, she questioned me about leaving no tip. I found this extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate, especially because I had already felt unwelcome and upset by the way I had been treated during the visit. Tipping should be the customer's choice, and I did not appreciate being confronted about it. I explained that I had paid for my service and that I was unhappy with the way she had spoken to me. She eventually apologized, but by that point I was already very upset and embarrassed. I want to emphasize that my criticism is not directed at the nail technician. Although she did not do a good job with the hand massage and did not provide the arm massage included in the service, her overall manicure work was good, and I was satisfied with my nails. Unfortunately, the owner's attitude and the failure to provide the full service described overshadowed the quality of the actual manicure. I left feeling uncomfortable, humiliated, and unwelcome. A salon visit should be relaxing and pleasant, but this experience was the opposite. Despite being satisfied with the technician's work, I would not return because of the way I was treated by the owner.

I appreciated Kim giving me notice of how much it would cost before they started .Both of the technicians were really efficient with time. In just under two hours, my nails turned out natural, thin, stunning, and perfectly done.

You also are asking me to wait until Tuesday for the review when my concerns were brought on Friday. Worst. Haircut. Ever. If you would like to waste 2 hours on a haircut that should have been completed in 45 minutes, all while listening to far too personal baby daddy stories shared by your nice, but unskilled, stylist, then this is the salon for you! What was that? Should I have said something? Well, I did. That's when the less than 100% fabulous customer service kicked in. I sent photos and messages documenting the haircut. I asked for a refund. After all, that was $90 for the haircut that looks like the craft scissor haircut my friend's daughter gave herself when she was 5. They want to "fix" it. There's barely any hair left to "fix" and also, no. You have lost my trust. Just refund the money. Here's my story: I chose one of my reference images (the one with green highlights) directly from their website based on cut and type of color, highlights with a fashion color. What could possibly go wrong? There is a person there who literally can cut the cut I want the picture proved it, right? The scheduler said she knew exactly who to book me with, but let's do a color consultation first for $60. I countered with, let's schedule the cut and the stylist, and I can discuss color then. At my appointment, I showed the stylist a carefully curated set of images, cut images, and the cut I wanted in pics of me when I had that cut. This is important because, I should back up and say I was asking for a pixie cut. I explained that I wanted my already short hair to be styled into a long banged, messy pixie with wispy tendrils by my ears. This would require trimming bangs, texturizing the longer "bob" sides and back. An hour in, I knew far too much about her personal life, and half my hair was clippered and way too short. Then she said, " Hey, maybe we should leave the other side as it is (when I came in)". Um, what? I asked to see the back. It had been clippered and the long hair on top laid on it like a rug. Zero texture. Um... the back of my head looks like a triangle? Can you please fix it? She did, kinda. Now, it's at mile marker two hours, and I am late. She was still not done. I told her I had to go and that I would have to settle for what I have. I left, put my hat on, and cried. But that was after I was also charged a service fee to tip. Next comes the customer service: After work, I took my hat off to discover that you could see my scalp in places. I have virtually no bangs, and it is waaaaay worse than I thought. I immediately emailed with pics. Their response, thanks for the feedback. I called and asked someone from their leadership to call me back. Nope, no call. Fast forward to the next day and several emails later, and the owner said you can either come in (next week) or "this matter is closed". Charming. I've had pixie cuts for 20 years. This was not a texture things or even a miscommunication. It was a failure of the scheduler, the stylist, and ultimately the owner. That stylist needs to be trained better and should have never been given me as a client. And the owner, well, just rude. When did customer service become so rare? Guess they must be doing well if they don't need new customers. There's more, but I am tired of typing. I don't usually leave reviews. Update: to be clear I did not decline the review. I declined a review without the possibility of a refund. You also are asking me to wait until Tuesday for the review when my concerns were brought on Friday.

I rarely leave negative reviews, especially as someone who owns my own business and works in the…read moreservice industry myself, but this experience was extremely disappointing. I came in for a hands and toes appointment and specifically asked beforehand if there was enough time to complete both services. I showed an inspiration picture and requested a milky white base with a French tip. I was assured they could do it. Unfortunately, the pedicure experience immediately felt off. The girl performing my pedicure skipped multiple steps that were listed in the pedicure service I paid for, and it was very obvious she was inexperienced or unlicensed. I had to repeatedly ask her to fix my French tip because it looked uneven and messy. I normally do not like speaking up, but I had an important event to attend and was paying for a gel service, so I wanted it done correctly. During my appointment, there was apparently another scheduling issue with a different client, and the girl doing my hands left before finishing them. My nails were never properly filed, my cuticles were not done, and my hands were never painted. I was then told I could come back another day and have my hands done for free because they were not completed. However, when I tried to arrange that, I was suddenly told I would still need to pay MORE to have them painted, despite already paying full price the day of my appointment for an unfinished job. On top of that, the nails that were applied were not prepped correctly and started breaking and chipping within days. I still paid in full and tipped at the appointment because I was trying to be respectful and understanding, but the way this situation was handled afterward was very disappointing. As a business owner myself, I understand mistakes happen, but customer service and accountability matter. I do not recommend this salon based on my experience.

Second time I had a pedicure done and this was by far the worst experience at a nail salon. The girl who did my nails was just fine, no complaints with her. However, I have a big problem that there is a little kid, who appears to be the owner's son. Not only is he the one who was settling me in and starting the water, but he also walks around talking to customers. Maybe others think it's cute? I don't! I came here to get away from my kids and enjoy a relaxing pedicure. Instead I was greeted with a judgmental little boy who commented on my clothes and on my feet. Sorry but none of this makes me want to come back.

I was pleasantly surprised ! the first thing I noticed was that it felt so warm, and it looked so clean.

And I loved it--it was so cold outside and I felt so at ease. I was the only one in there and I couldn't believe why. She started to trim my cuticles, and did an incredible job! The middle service had a few items on the menu that weren't on the low service, but I could not tell the difference. It was basically like the basic pedicure so I would've not opted for the middle one. Also, usually when you upgrade, you get a massage and she really just put lotion on my legs. She never touched my heels, and I thought that was funny too! Lol My heels did not get lotion or even that buffer. As if she were afraid to touch them or something(?). ~~My thing with pedicures is, it's about the feet so I don't need lotion on my knees, but I do need lotion on my toes, you know? ~~ Anyway, other than the missing massage and the extra services I thought I was getting by upgrading everything else was great! Including the polish, which she was so meticulous on! (I wish I could show you them! ) I advise you to try them out basic pedicure or the top upgrade. You can skip over the middle one.
