This salon makes it very easy to schedule appointments, and I've enjoyed their pedicure prices in the past, which is why I kept coming back. However, after my most recent experience, I don't think I'll return. My manicure felt very rushed, even though I had an appointment rather than walking in. I initially selected four gel colors from the wall I was shown, but all of them were out of stock. I ended up having to choose new colors while my feet were already being soaked and worked on, which felt disorganized. Within just a few days, my gel manicure chipped, so I called to have it fixed. At first, they only offered appointment times during standard 8-5 work hours, either the same day or the next, which wasn't feasible for me. After some back-and-forth, the owner agreed to open 15 minutes early to accommodate me before my flight that weekend. While I appreciated the effort, the repair itself felt rushed--three nails were fixed in about five minutes. Overall, the experience felt hurried and inconvenient, which was disappointing given my previous visits. read more

I quit getting my pedicures here over a year ago. They got too expensive and the atmosphere is chaotic. I'm hoping I don't regret this, but I went in to purchase gift certificates for my 3 nieces for Christmas, because it was a matter of convenience for me. I told the girl at the front desk what I wanted. Just as she was pulling them out of the drawer she answered the phone. Instead of putting them on hold, she argued with whoever was on the phone about them canceling an appointment for a good five minutes or so. Yes, I should have just left. I paid with a credit card and was charged a fee. Did I mention, she wasn't friendly in the least. Plus the gift certificate expires in 6 months. I recently purchased a gift certificate for my granddaughter at another salon. No fee when I used my card and no expiration date! Never again! I warned my nieces by the way. read more

I booked my apointment after several women recommended this nail shop. The stone massage was very hurried and the stone was barely warm. The gel pedicure was done well. I noticed that the other clients around me that started at the same time were only halfway through the process- I felt like she was very rushed and abrupt . I have been getting pedicures for 25 yrs. I will give them a 2nd chance , but I'm rather disenchanted to be honest . read more

We booked 4 appointments 3 mani/pedis and 1 pedi, got right in for our appointment we all got to sit together that was great. Then the lady that did my mani/pedi was not the best. She didn't just cut me once or twice but 3 times!!! Then she hacked my finger nails off when I just told her I wanted them rounded! Once I got home I had to smooth them out she left them all jagged! Terrible experience this was only my second manicure ever now I know why I don't go to places like this!!!! read more

This nail salon is pushy and lacks flexibility. While they often do good nails, they are not customer focused. Examples of this are constantly texting customers on their appointment days and request to move the time. When you do call to cancel or adjust they make you feel badly. You cannot make an ad hoc appointment until the end of the day (nail repair, paint fix). They are more concerned with their technicians needs than the customer needs. Too many other same or better salons in the area to deal with feeling badly about a nail appointment. read more

Then I received one of the best pedicures I've ever had! I believe my tech was named Jackie and he really took great care of my toes. Was very gentle and very good.

Diligent, thorough and exactly what i wanted from one glance at a picture on my phone from 2 years ago. She was professional and courteous, checking with me at every step to ensure i got what i wanted.
