The staff seem nice, but my nails were never the way I wanted them to be both times. Either they looked clumpy with too much polish or the nail tech rushed and didn't add enough acrylic. I will likely not return. 3 Stars

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable…read more I booked a Gel-X manicure and pedicure the day before my birthday and spent hours in the salon only to leave without the manicure I came for and with damaged natural nails. Early in the appointment, I pointed out multiple times that red polish from my previous set was still visible underneath. My concerns were not taken seriously, and a full Gel-X set was applied anyway. The red remained visible, and the entire set ultimately had to be removed. After the first Gel-X set was removed, a second Gel-X set was applied despite not having tips that fit my nails properly. The tips had large visible gaps along the sides of multiple nails, particularly my thumbs. When I pointed this out, I was told they did not have a size that fit. Instead of stopping the service, an attempt was made to fill the gaps with builder gel. The lack of technique made the builder gel chunky and they would not file it down, leaving an uneven texture. If the salon did not have tips that fit my nails, the service should not have proceeded in the first place. I asked not to proceed with the service and have the nails to be removed. The problems did not stop there. There was visible debris under the nails, leftover glue, uneven shaping, and repeated issues that I had to point out myself. Throughout the appointment, my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed and the tech ignored my requests. The removal process was especially upsetting. The technician was very rough with my hands, soaking my fingers in pure acetone and then ripping off the nails with her fingers. I repeatedly asked for a different removal approach (filing) and eventually had to pull my hands away to prevent further damage. By the end of the appointment, my nails had been heavily over-filed, were significantly shorter than when I arrived, and one nail was filed so short that it's painful. I walked in with healthy natural nails that I had spent months growing out. I left with thin, brittle, painful nails after two failed Gel-X applications and no completed manicure. The condition of my nails when I left was worse than when I arrived. The only redeeming part of my appointment was the second technician who stepped in at the end. She listened, treated me with kindness and respect, removed glue residue, corrected some of the damage, cleaned up the shaping, and did her best to salvage the situation. I genuinely appreciated her help. I was not charged for the Gel-X manicure and was given a discount on the pedicure, which was the right thing to do. However, that does not change the fact that I lost hours of my day, lost the healthy nails I had worked hard to grow, and left without the service I came in for the day before my birthday. I will never return and I recommend you do not go to this salon

Perfect pit stop while waiting for traffic to die down…read more My aunt and cousin frequents this nail shop and speaks highly of Eric and Emily's work...I love the designs they always have. Super fun and sexy nails. Unfortunately, today I just took my chances stopping by and lucked up with Ryan. This shop is fairly new...2/3 years...right above Harris Teeters...clean and chic. A tight little space but it got the job done for me this evening. Ryan took his time filling my nails. Perfect shape and very natural. Really love how my nails turned out.

Mika was my technician today and was amazing. Receptionist was wonderful too In helping me choose a color. Highly recommend returning and paying a visit for those looking for somewhere local for your nails to get done. To the manager, thank you for giving me a superb experience.***** Again, still my go to nail salon primarily because of the promotions they have. I enjoy going in the morning because it's quieter and it's nice to have your nails done right before work. I'm actually planning on walking in today or tomorrow for a gel removal on hands and mint pedicure. I'd say the mint pedicure is probably best for its price and going during happy hour it's also discounted. The salon is professional. I'm not a fan of all the employees as sometimes I noticed that they don't standardize the services. Some with give you a slight leg massage, some just completely skip over it.

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent visit. My mother and I came in for a…read morepedicure, a gel manicure, and a full set. While the salon was busy, the biggest issue was not the wait but the lack of customer service. Throughout both of our appointments, the nail technicians repeatedly dismissed our requests and made decisions for us instead of listening to what we wanted. I was originally interested in a cat-eye design and was willing to be flexible with the color, but the technician immediately shut down the idea and decided on a completely different design without giving me the opportunity to choose another option. Similarly, my mother requested specific details for her nail design, but her technician repeatedly told her "no" and substituted her own ideas instead. We understand that salons can get busy, but being rushed is not an excuse to ignore customers' preferences. It felt as though the technicians were more focused on getting through appointments quickly than providing quality service. As paying customers, we should not have to argue to have our requests heard. What made this experience so disappointing is that we have enjoyed coming to your salon in the past. Unfortunately, the poor customer service, lack of communication, and disregard for our preferences have left us with little desire to return. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as listening to customers is one of the most important parts of providing a positive salon experience.

Unlike many salons, there wasn't a strong chemical smell, which made the experience so much more enjoyable. They have a huge selection of polish colors, the pricing is fair, and they even offer a complimentary drink with your service. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout my visit. The only small downside was that my nail technician didn't speak much English, so communication was a little difficult at times. That said, she was very sweet, did a great job, and I appreciated how hard she worked. Parking was easy with a nearby parking garage, making the whole visit convenient. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this salon and will be coming back!

Seats non vibrating/massaging…read more I came here to get a pedicure the day before attending a wedding. I got the regular saloon pedi which was $55 but was charged $60 due to them picking the color I wanted. Apparently that brand of polish dries quickly. The space is very clean and they have you wash hands before picking your color which I love. They also give you a welcome drink. I got a Bellini which tasted well. Their chairs don't have the massage feature like many other salons do but are comfortable. The $60 pedicure comes with a scrub, hot oil massage, a steam towel foot wrap. The nail tech didn't push me for additional services or to upgrade to gel at all which was so refreshing. The work was done relatively quickly and well. I'd come back here for a pedi if I need one asap. For fingernails, they only do regular and gel manis and not specialized services like dip powder or acrylics.

Firstly the stylist arrived late. I will let that slide. I…read morewas assigned Helen as the stylist and she was having trouble speaking in English. I get that too. She was unfriendly and did not care to check with me what I wanted. She couldn't understand my instructions well and when I showed her hair length (and told her repeatedly to check with me before cutting) she cut off 10 inches off my hair. I wanted layers but because the hair was already cut so short I couldn't get layers as it would have reduced the length further more. I was so upset with the service. I was offered no apology whatsoever and instead the head staff told me maybe we should put water on your hair and ruin it even more for wasting our time! Do not recommend the stylist or the salon to anyone! You may see comments from them on my post saying how I'm lying and they did their best, you can choose to believe whoever. As a paying customer, my service was not as expected and the customer service was terrible.
