    The one nail technician burned my friend and drilled her nails so thin. You can see that the pinky nail was completely fine with the polish being removed. All of a sudden she started to use the drill and completely drill her acrylic nail off because "they put the glitter inside of the acrylic" which didn't make sense because again the pinky nail is completely fine. I DO NOT recommend this! The owner did nothing to help and proceeded to tell my friend "you need a new set" and cut off all of the tips of her nails. Her set was not even 2 weeks old.

    My nails were left with what looks like a dirty crack in the sides of a couple nails. I got a fill in and you can see the separation of the fill in from my previous nails, they are different colors. For a fill in and 2 nail repairs (adding tips on 2) it was $75! One of my nails popped off after a week, I went back to get it fixed no charge but they did the pink gel in that nail a different shade than the rest. My cousin also had 2 nails pop off in a week and a half.

    I have been going to another Nail salon for a while and I cannot tell you how happy I was to have found ala Vita. From the service, to the ambiance, to the waiting time. Everything was perfect. I cannot wait to come back for more amazing designs.

    Picture speaks for itself. Moved from NY, and this is the only salon that does a great job. The place itself it's very cute and clean everything is new. The owner is always there to overlook the job they do, this place never fails.

    My nails.

    Went there for the first time since I have been living in the Poconos. Chen did an amazing job on the pedi hands down Yumi crushed my nails.

    Overpriced for something so simple as French gel pedicure and tips + dip powder manicure. Long wait was in there for 4 hrs for them to do a horrible job. My pedicure was rushed I didn't get to experience the full service they usually give. Nails dip powder are too thick and French gel paint job really messy looking and chipped same day hours later. Now i have no issues with the staff but I don't appreciate how rushed they were when i waited so patiently for them to get to me. I don't like to do this review but I am very disappointed I spent 120$ + 12$ tip cause i tip regardless of service for a terrible outcome.

    I've been going here for quite some time and have also recommended many friends and family here because loved the atmosphere and people. Lately, over the past few months, the vibe has surely changed a lot. I've been making sure to make appointments because usually with an appointment you're not suppose to wait. Usually, I said. With that being said? How come the last 2xs prior to todays visit, I have made an appt and winded up overall taking close to 3 hours because I had to wait for others. If you make appts, you don't overlap your appts like that to make others wait. On top of already paying more for simple things, those visits were strike1 & 2 and I made it vocal not happy with the experience lately and all the owner could say was "sorry and we will make it right the next time!" I said I hope so, because 3 strikes and I'm done. Low and behold todays visit. I made an appointment for my nails and eyebrows for me and my daughter. I get there and the salon is packed! Yumi said 'you called for appt, right?' I said that's me. So after waiting 15 mins, owner finally comes over and says one girl is going to start wrapping my nails. In doing so, she then did our eyebrows, and then walked away and just left me there. A couple walked in a few minutes later for pedicure (with NO appt) and she left me and decided to start taking care of them. Normally I keep my composure but lately with them, enough is enough. I guess I didn't rate in order of importance and got pushed to the side, as they proceeded to work on two new clients that walked into the building. So I asked Yumi how long I have to wait and she couldn't answer me. So owner said when she was done doing a set of tips for 1 of 3 clients she will start with me again. I said that's not right. Why am I waiting when I had appt. That I have less than an hour and had to go. She said if I can wait for Yumi to finish, she will continue with me. How much longer was I waiting again? She just started her person 10 minutes prior. So the owner said come back. I said I can't, as they close at 5 and my daughter had a sports event. She said it's ok, I stay open later. I said I can't. She said come back tomorrow, and again I said I can't because of work. She said well you have to wait or just get your nails off and that's it. So I said please just take it off and I'm done. That was their 3rd strike!!! Sad, as I have been going there awhile. She literally had me walk out before I finished getting anything done or they can do a good job of cleaning the gel off my nails. I guess my $ is worth something somewhere else. I will take me and my referrals elsewhere. Sorry community, but unless you are nasty to them, you are no one to them. They usually respond better to those who talk down on them. I enjoyed my time there, but u less you want a pedicure, you will WAIT!! So sad but true

    Well, they did it again. I can't express how wonderful the people are and how great of a service they offer.

    My new go to place!! They just opened recently and are super clean and friendly! I got an amazing pedicure for only $22 and gel manicure for $25 and they really took their time and made me feel nice. Definitely try it out! I'm excited to try out their facials and massages next time I visit!

I'm a full set acrylic girly; I know what I want/like & I always communicate to Lynn my needs. my most recent set is pushing 4 weeks,ZERO lifting, for a salon quality/products that is SUPERIOR. I get the pink colored powder bc I prefer that over white, it's $10 more but imo worth it. Most recently I also got a lash lift; WOWEE. I naturally have long lashes so a lift always does the trick for me, the atmosphere was very relaxing & I actually fell asleep while she was doing my lashes. 10/10

She went back not even 24 hrs later to show that her polish was all chipped up and all they said was that was normal when you only polish your nails. She requested a refund and they would Not honor her a refund. This was such a waste of time and money. To say that the nail polish chips and it's normal and to not even want to make it right is just preposterous. One thing for sure is my daughter will Never be going back here again nor will she ever recommend this place to anyone.

    I never post reviews, and I used to go to this salon a lot a few years ago. I regret going back…read morethis time :( first- I'm very pregnant so I wanted to treat myself to a mani pedi before baby comes. Nail tech ended up making me bleed while doing my cuticles, and I bled A LOT. He had to apply pressure for several minutes to the cut he made on my cuticle/skin. Then he went to do a stone massage, I felt the water and told him it was much too hot. It was way hotter than it should have been. He looked at me and proceeded to pour the bowl of super hot water on both my legs and I even made a noise because it was so uncomfortable. He had me get out of the pedi chair myself, normally not a problem but I am 35 weeks pregnant. it took me a while to get out and he just stared at me the entire time. I even looked at him ready to ask him for a hand but he was really impatient with me. we do the mani and I asked for a simple French, regular polish. things are going better and then he cuts tooo deep on cuticle again and I bleed enough where he has to apply pressure with a small gauze. he did it again on another finger. My cuticles are very red on that hand now. then he doesn't finish the manicure and has someone else do it. this person finishes the manicure in record time but left me to dry at the manicure table for at least 30 mins with nothing drying my nails. eventually I had to ask if I should go over to the drying station instead and someone brings me over. everyone else around me gets a brief shoulder massage but they didn't do that for me. I thought OK they must be busy. I wait a little bit until I'm dry until I look at the time and realize I need to leave so I can eat because I'm starting to feel sick. It's been about 2 hours now (not so bad on a busy day maybe but because I didn't get gel or dip or anything I guess I thought it would be faster) get up and see that my heels are still wrapped in Saran Wrap with callus softener on them even though he finished my pedi!!!! At this point my hormones were starting to make me really emotional and I decided to leave without tipping (I paid a full $75 for the service) the manager chased me out and asked me why I didn't tip, so I told her everything. I've never felt the need to do something like that before. Within an hour of leaving, I not only chip some of the French tip off, my nail CRACKED! I am so disappointed and will have to figure out a way to fix it myself. wanted to do something relaxing before I give birth in a few weeks but it was anything but. :( I'm also feeling a lot of guilt, I've never had this bad of an experience there, and everyone else looked like they got a great service. my mother in law came with me and she was so happy, her tech was so nice and nails look amazing. I guess I got unlucky today.

    I've been going to the salon for over 20 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Cindy, make sure that…read moreyou are happy with your manicure or pedicure or massage and she always makes good on the services.
