    Ever since I found out about this place I never went elsewhere. Most of the nail tech here are…read moreawesome, specially Tina. She's the best! Very gentle, really artistic lady, she recommends stuff on how you want to style your nails which I love about her. Ambiance of this place is wonderful as well.

    I'm very disappointed with the experience my sister and I had at this salon. We chose this place…read morebecause it had about 4 stars on Yelp, so we expected decent service, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. As soon as my sister sat down, the nail technician turned on the water for me and it was extremely hot. The staff member assisting her didn't seem to have good customer service and barely spoke to my sister--she just jingled the nail color samples in front of her without saying anything. When my technician, Lisa, came over, I immediately told her I wanted a classic pedicure, and she responded "okay, classic." During the service, the leg massage was very rough and uncomfortable rather than relaxing. After we were finished, I noticed I had been charged for a deluxe pedicure, even though I clearly asked for a classic. When we brought it up, several workers began arguing with us and made it seem like it was our fault. After going back and forth, the gentleman at the front desk eventually refunded the difference. However, the situation didn't end there. After we left and were already at Chipotle, the same gentleman followed us outside and told me he forgot to charge me for the gel color and asked if I could Zelle him $15. At that point I told him I was not satisfied with the service and that the mistake was on their end. Overall, the customer service was very unprofessional and the experience was uncomfortable. I was really hoping for a relaxing time with my sister, but instead it turned into a frustrating situation

I came twice to get my acrylics done and while I liked the way the end product looked, the lack of care for the nails and random upcharging ultimately made me stop coming. This last time I came, I had one of the ladies take my old set off since the nail tech laid acrylic over two lifting nails on my first visit and they ended up creating a worse problem. Great, I needed a refresh anyway. She proceeds to put SUPER tiny tips on my nails, which makes them look thin on the sides like I like but it created terrible ingrown nails because it squeezed the sides of the nails. Ultimately I picked a solid red color and she charged me $25 more than the listed price. No reason for it since it's a simple acrylic set with one color. This happened last time and I assumed it was the glitter color was more but it seems she decides on the fly what to charge. Now, three months later, my nails are so thin and have 5 huge pieces of acrylic still stuck to them. I've since moved away and found a new nail tech who refuses to pull them off entirely because they are causing tearing and bleeding on my natural nail. I have religiously done my nails my whole life so three months of this is upsetting and ridiculous. Lastly, they were playing a movie with full blown sex scenes in the salon one of the times when I went and it was so uncomfortable. She apologized after a few minutes of it but continued being standoffish and awkward to me, which was another part of the bad experience. I came back one last time to give them a chance since I liked the end result and color selection, but I made a huge mistake returning.

    I came here for a 90-minute lymphatic massage. At the beginning, when I was lying on my back, the…read morepressure on the front of my body was way too light. I asked if she could make it a little stronger, but she said they don't use much pressure on the front. I understand that, but it honestly didn't feel like a massage. It felt like she was just lightly waving a gua sha tool over my skin with almost no pressure. There was virtually no therapeutic pressure or technique with that tool. When she used her hands, I was hoping she would spend more time on my neck and shoulders, but that part was very short. I kept wondering what she was actually doing.. Once I turned over, the experience completely changed. She used her elbows to press down very aggressively. It wasn't just deep pressure, it felt like she didn't really know how to massage properly. She asked if the pressure was okay a few times, but I said yes because I was worried that if I complained, she'd go back to barely touching me. I've had massages regularly at many different places, and I've never experienced someone who relied almost entirely on digging in with their elbows like this. It felt more rough than therapeutic. She also scraped my calves way too hard with a gua sha tool. It wasn't relieving at all, it was just an unpleasant kind of pain. Overall, I was disappointed from beginning to end. I ended up with bruises all over my back, and after the massage I felt so dizzy that I had a headache and felt unwell for the next three days. On top of that, I developed an itchy rash on both sides of my neck that still hasn't gone away. I'm not sure if it was caused by the massage oil or the massage itself. The therapist was kind and friendly, but unfortunately the massage itself was one of the worst I've had. Based on my experience, I honestly don't understand why this place has such high reviews. I was really looking forward to it and left very disappointed.
