    I just had a pedicure and this is how my toe looked like 2 hours later. I could tell the lady (I should've gotten her name) didn't know what she's doing, as I had to tell her to fix her work! I wouldn't recommend going here

    Sage Cateye
    Jocelyn I.

    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.

    White tip manicure

    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.

    Entrance

    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.

    Almond shaped, acrylics

    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!

The salon is always clean, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere. Best of all, there is rarely a long wait, which I really appreciate. What sets this salon apart is their honesty and customer care. When I first came in, they were upfront about the condition of my nails and explained that the style I wanted at the time would not last because of the health of my nail bed. Instead of just taking my money, they recommended what would be best for my nails and helped me get them healthy again. That level of professionalism is hard to find. My nails always turn out exactly how I want them, and the staff consistently does amazing work. Most recently, I brought my 2-year-old daughter, Kehlani, in for a manicure and pedicure. As you can imagine, getting a toddler to sit still long enough for her nails to dry was not easy! It took three to four staff members working together, and even the gentleman at the front desk stepped in to help. Everyone was so patient, kind, and encouraging throughout the entire process. They made my daughter feel special, and her nails and toes turned out absolutely adorable. The entire team goes above and beyond to make clients feel welcome and cared for. Their patience, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality service and a wonderful experience.

I've been told in the past from this salon that appointments are preferred over walk ins. I'm aware that the salon opens at 10am, so I was expected to be let in maybe 5 minutes after 10, just so the workers had time to set up everything. However, I was waiting in my hot car for over 10 minutes before anybody showed up to the salon. At this point there were 3 workers there, not a single one acknowledged me as I walked up to the counter. Another lady who looked to be a supervisor had to tell the workers to start prepping for my pedicure instead of worrying about setting up the store. If you are not prepared to take clients at 10am, then don't schedule it as an available time slot. Unfortunately, my grievances don't end there. Tram was my nail tech for this appointment. As most people do during their appointments, I put my earbuds in and occupied myself on my phone. I had one earbud out in case she needed to ask me anything or instruct me to do something. Usually the techs ask me if I want my nails cut down or shaped a certain way, but Tram didn't, which I thought was strange, but they came out fine. I was aware she was wrapping up when she put the hot towel on my legs, but I was waiting for verbal confirmation that she was done. She goes off somewhere and I'm still sitting there on my phone, thinking she's getting something or maybe putting things away. I finally look up after about 5 minutes to see that she is sat in a pedicure chair scrolling on her phone. As I mentioned before I was still able to hear and respond since I only had one earbud in, but at no point was I told that the service was done or that I could pay at the front when I was ready. At this point, no one was at the front desk, which is also why I assumed I had to wait. Turns out, she was just wasting my time and I was waiting there for nothing. Once again, the supervisor lady had to tell her to get up and take care of me at the front. I am very understanding of customer service workers having been one myself for a few years, but this kind of service is something that you'd expect from a teenager at their first job. The whole experience came off as very unprofessional and frustrating. Despite the connivence of the salon being close by, I would rather drive a little further to somewhere else that has better quality service.

Clearly their products are top of the line, in the past when I got gel on my nails a week tops before it started to peel. This picture is of a three week old service. Actually headed to the shop now.

Instead of a greeting back, the first thing she said was, "Can you close the door because the air is on?" There was no "Hi, how are you?" or even a polite request. It immediately set the tone for the visit. When she finally asked how she could help me, I told her I was there for a color change. She looked around, sighed, and said, "We're not gonna have time for you today." I paused, expecting her to offer another appointment or suggest another time, but instead it just felt like, "We can't help you." I said, "No problem," and started walking out. An employee (who I believe was her assistant) ran after me and told me another customer had offered to let me go ahead since my service was something simple. I honestly hesitated because of the owner's attitude, but I wanted to give a black owned business the benefit of the doubt, so I came back. I thanked the customer who let me go ahead, but the owner never acknowledged me. Even something as simple as, "It's been really busy today, but we appreciate you and we'll be with you shortly," would have gone a long way. When it was finally my turn, I sat down and the owner asked, "You're just getting a color change, right?" I said yes, and she didn't say another word. It honestly felt like she still didn't want to service me but was doing so because I was already there. A little while later she yelled across to me, "Hey, blue shirt... what's your name?" After I told her, she said that from her angle it looked like I had my leg resting on the technician and that her client didn't want to turn around. It was awkward, but I laughed it off and once again tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, figuring maybe she was just someone who was a little rough around the edges. After my service was finished, I went to pay. The technician asked if it was my first time there. When I said yes, she then informed me there was a $10 fee because they had to remove someone else's polish. The "removal" was simply sanding off my previous color. My issue wasn't even the fee--it was that it wasn't disclosed before the service started. Any additional charges should be communicated upfront so customers can decide whether they'd like to proceed. So I ended up paying $30 for a simple color changed when I could've just waited and got a pedicure at that point. The final straw was leaving the salon without so much as a "Thank you," "Have a great day," or "We appreciate your business." The owner said absolutely nothing. While I was there, I also watched other customers come in asking for pedicures. They received the same short, dismissive responses and were simply turned away. As they walked out, the owner called after them, "Keep us in mind." Honestly, that's difficult to do when customers aren't greeted warmly, prices aren't fully explained beforehand, and there doesn't seem to be much effort to make people feel welcome. The salon itself is nice, but customer service matters just as much as the quality of the work. A little kindness, professionalism, and clear communication go a long way in building loyal customers. Unfortunately, because of how I was treated, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon based on my experience. I hope this brings awareness to the owner and no one else has to go through this experience

That was around the time when the nail tech walked over to me for the first time to ask if I had chosen a color, not when my feet were in the water or when I was receiving the service, as I stated. She also walked away after the initial contact and returned a couple times, throwing supplies on her cart before proceeding. Regardless of that, my Zelle payment for tip was also confirmed at 6:54pm. So I do want to acknowledge that my time there was about an hour and a half total from my arrival/ appointment time. There was also not a "light residue" of the scrub left, there was literal exfoliating pieces/ beads and cream that I was able to scrape off my leg with my fingernail. There is no need to note my preferences as I will not be going back. If I had known that later appointments were known to be thrown off schedule, I would've just showed up late so I didn't have to wait. There was no update or follow up. While I understand it is the business owners responsibility to ensure all reviews are accurate, the repeated attempt to disprove what I stated was unnecessary when the issue still stands: my appointment time was not honored, i had literal pieces of scrub and gel on my leg, and someone used a cuticle cutter to PULL pieces of my toenail off without asking me. I understand these services are a luxury; I would not come in expecting to be waited on but I do expect basic communication and respect. The service and response were both disappointing.
