    Went in on a Wednesday at 5:36pm. Waited until 6:23pm for someone. Everyone was busy. That's usually a good sign. I've been here before a long time ago and 7 months ago to get nails done the day before my birthday. When I got my nails done the day before my birthday (which was also a week before my due date), my nails looked good inside the salon, but when I got to my car to send pics and videos, they looked bad. I went back in and they fixed them. Only issue was a few nails were filed so thinly because she had to redo them. Otherwise, they looked much better. I got my nails done 2 days ago, and I was pressed on time. I have a 6 month old, and my timeline was to get my mani/pedi done before my husband came home with a hungry baby since I'm breastfeeding. Well, the wait was too long, so I switch it to just getting my mani/have them fix 2 broken nails. Everything turned out decent in the amount of time I was there. It was $25 plus tip to do my cuticles, cut and shape my nails and "fix" the 2 nails. One day later, my broken nail was still jacked up on the side but had some protection on the rest of the nail. I don't really have time to go back before we leave on a trip, so that's why I'm rating them a 2 star. If it was as done correctly the first time (both times), I wouldn't need to go back. It's fine though because I have everything I need to fix it myself at home. I just didn't want to have to do it at home. This place is fine since it's cheap, but it's a reminder that you get what you pay for.

    Had a botched job done elsewhere that was supposably "cateye" but was just a straight line of glitter. So I kept searching on yelp for a good nail place and stumbled across Leah's salon. I went in and Leah saved the day! She did such an amazing job from shortening the length to making them slimmer and doing an amazing job with the Cateye! 10/10 for sure, I am absolutely happy with her work definitely returning

    In love! thankfully Leah came to the rescue, reshaped and redid the design.

    In love! I had some botched job somewhere else and thankfully Leah came to the rescue, reshaped and redid the design. Super patient and gentle when doing your nails! 100% will come here again even.

    I recommend Leah's salon, I don't get my nails done as often. But when I have, I always come here. I call ahead of time to double check if they are taking walk ins and they always take me as soon as I get there. I don't get anything fancy just a manicure and always satisfied with the outcome. The simplest things can also turn out ugly but not for me. I went today in the morning and it was a full house and the lady that helped me was really nice and cleaned up my nails beautifully.

    Polygel with uneven layers
    Brenda S.

    Don't come here if you're looking to get Polygel, because they don't know how to correctly apply it. This is the 2nd time I have come in where the nail tech got upset that I brought up concerns about how the Polygel application looked like and told me to wait until the end. I've gotten Polygel before and know how the process goes, so each time it gets to the end she can no longer fix what I had asked for in the beginning :( I gave the same nail tech another chance thinking it'd be better, but it turned out even worse than the first time I got Polygel with her. The layers are uneven and my fingers got burned with the machine she was using. But what was truly disappointing was how they treat their customers.

    Cat eye gel nails

    Leah is very sweet and funny; she has a great vibe. I love my nails I got Cat eye gel and they're so cute.

    Very very small location. But I was happy to be able to walk in and get taken care of right away. The staff was very friendly. I think there were about maybe five staff members working this day. I want to say there about four pedicure chairs and I think three desks For nail tech, and then the little counter that you paid when finished. I really liked how my nails were done through the whole process, especially having shellac over my own. I did not feel as though my nail bed was being destroyed from taking off the previous color. at the end, there was a quick but nice hand and arm massage after. But if you're looking for someplace not as crowded and friendly and you're not too far from the area, try them out see what you think overall, my service, for my gel manicure was $35.

    This shop is awesome, Leah is amazing, and they have a great atmosphere. You can tell the community loves them. I went in as a walk in and they sat me fast, I didn't catch the lady's name who did my pedicure, but she was really sweet and did a great job, and then I was also really lucky to get Leah as my nail tech that day and of course she did my nails so bomb!! Great community nail shop.

    Nails on point!!!

    Obsessed with my nails! Leah was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. She took her time and really made sure everything was perfect. Can't stop looking at them!! Highly recommend

    Perfect for a gala!

    Leah is great when she does my full sets. She takes her time but also doesn't require me to sit for too long.

    Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. I've been a regular customer for quite some time,…read moreand not once have I been disappointed. The quality, attention to detail, and kindness of everyone here are simply outstanding. Thank you for making today a little brighter. These beautiful nails may seem like a small thing, but they brought me so much happiness. I absolutely love how they turned out, and I couldn't stop smiling when I saw the final result. Thank you for always making me feel special and for putting so much love into your work. You truly have a gift, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    There are a few things that happened that I did not think were appropriate ranging from appointment…read morepractices, to service, to cleanliness. I booked an appointment for 5:30pm and arrived on time. When I arrived I said hello and checked in. I was instructed to sit in the first chair and that someone would be right with me. I sat there for 15 minutes in a chair that had no liner or towel, so I sat awkwardly with my legs to the side waiting for someone to put one one since I did not want to contaminate a clean foot bath/ chair. It was 18 minutes before the receptionist noticed and gave me nail colors to look through. It was another 10 minutes before my nail tech came over to me and put my water in. So it was 28 minutes past my appointment before I got to start my service despite calling that morning to book an appointment. The service itself was partially okay. The only part I was happy with was the painting of the nails themselves. There's no streaks or polish on my skin but that's unfortunately the only positive thing I can say. The nail tech literally cut my sidewalls at an angle without asking me. To make matters worse, she didn't even cut them completely and she used her cuticle cutters to grab the hangnail she CREATED and proceeded to tug at it until it ripped off. So I will have an ingrown in 3-4 weeks now. I paid for the middle level package which included a scrub. She left half of it on my legs until my service was over, leaving my legs sticky and dirty when I got up. For both the scrub AND my massage she did it for the allotted amount of time but she would drift off midway through and just hold my leg/ foot. I told her my leg was shaking cuz of the position and I needed to move it, and while she agreed she would literally squish my toes down to paint them at a position easier for her. I don't know if she was tired but I did not deserve a service like that. The cleanliness issue was minimal. She did take tools out of a blue package, but then she pulled an old nail file out, blew who knows what off of it, and proceeded to use it on my toenails. I was asked if my service was okay at the end and I said sure. I did not care to stay and argue because by the time this whole thing was over, it was almost two hours later due to waiting time and lack of interest in doing my service. I still tipped $6 and I don't think I will ever return. It might look nice inside but i shouldn't have to assertive about someone doing their job when i paid $59 for a service. I genuinely hope whatever happened was a fluke but I'm extremely disappointed to say the least.
