Let me preface this review by saying that I have been going to my regular nail tech for 6 years,…read moreshe has been in Vietnam since the last week of December and does not come back until the middle of March. So, I am not cheating. Lol! We are on a break! Because she has been away, I have been trying to find a stand-in salon until she gets back. 3 weeks ago I went to a salon and did not have a good experience. My manicure was horrendous. It was bad! They didnt focus on cuticle health and used a drill bit for everything. 0/10 do not recommend. I have a friend who is looking for a salon who had a great experience here, and she suggested it to me. I suspect she grew tired of hearing me complain about the state of my cuticles, but whatever.... Anyway, I googled and found that I was able to make an appt through their website. The system was easy to use, and I just picked what I wanted. Positive website navigation...check! I immediately received a text verifying my booking. I received a reminder text a few days before, and yet another one the day of. Communication....check. The salon is on Harford Rd right off 695 and there is plenty of parking in back which is great! Location...check When I walked in my immediate reaction was "oh this is CUTE!" Its a boutique salon, extremely clean, and homey but in the best way. I was immediately greeted by the salon manager (Im so sorry I can't remember your name) with a hello and a warm welcome. She immediately put me at ease, and I just felt so comfortable like it wasnt my first visit. The manager confirmed what I was getting and led me over my tech, Shradha. She gave my toes and fingers the business. THE BUSINESS!! She got me right! I got the special pedicure. You get your choice of scented scrub and I chose lavender. The callus remover is also included. They dont use the cheese grater. Instead, they use a motorized foot sander thing. They also use disposable utensils. My feet are smooooth, my cuticles have been loved on, and my polish is amazing. I love Shradha so much!! Shradha is very quiet and thats okay. I'm new, she doesnt know me, and she was all about getting me right, so I was fine. I just started talking to everyone else. The manager was personable and we talked about her journey to the salon, and the goals of the owner (which are fabulous and exciting! I love to see black women making big moves especially in spaces where we arent represented). I love talking to people because im 1. Nosey and 2. I'm a yapper. I also talked to the techs and its very clear that they operate as a team. Often nail salons are individualistic and I don't get that vibe from them. Everyone is a talented artist in their own right and they come together because they share a common goal for the salon. Let me not forget to mention the diversity on the team. I do believe that everyone was a POC and the clients that were being serviced were also equally diverse. I was extremely impressed all the way around. My service was gel soak off (hands and feet), special gel pedicure, and gel manicure. Total cost was $120+ tip. If I had to give a criticism, it was a super small one, the size of a grain sand. It would be the fumes of the chemicals. Towards the end of my service, it became more pronouced due to the lack of ventilation as the space is small. Ive never smelled it that pungent before so Im not sure if it was a one off. Nonetheless, I can fix that with a mask. It's clear that I had a fabulous time. I like to try something 3 times before I decide that I like it. But the thought has entered my mind that I might have to break up with my nail tech. It was just that good! Okay this is a long one, Ive said enough. Everyone needs to try this salon. Youre welcome!!!

Let me start by saying I rarely ever go to nail salons, but I saw a new one opening in Canton and…read moredecided to check them out! The inside was really modern and pretty, and I loved that they had complimentary drinks and snacks while I was waiting. I got Gel X for the first time and was nervous about how it would feel, but the whole process was actually really comfortable. I also really loved working with Harry because he was so social, communicative, and fun to talk to. Nail appointments can sometimes just be sitting in silence for over an hour, which honestly isn't my favorite thing, so I appreciated that he was not only really talented but also enjoyable to chat with. The prices also seemed pretty reasonable for the service, though I can't compare too much since this was my first Gel X experience. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking them out!

They only seem to have gel polish for manicures & pedicures. If you don't prefer gel, this is not…read morethe place for you! In the future, I would advise this salon to be honest with customers who are asking for regular mani or regular pedi. If you have no regular polish, please just say "we only have gel here, sorry!" More details: We asked for regular pedicures and repeated it multiple times when they brought out what looks like the typical DND shellac two-pack with a color and a clear coat. We were confused, but they would not admit that it was a gel polish, so there were 2 problems: 1) they brought us the sample nails to pick a color, but the colors always looked very different on the nail. Of course they were never going to be cured under UV, so the color was different and more opaque. We had to keep changing our polish color through trial and error. (No guidance or assistance from the tech, by the way. It helps if the staff is familiar with the products they have. Imagine if they had true regular polish AND swatched that polish so we could select accordingly! A genius concept LOL ) 2) We waited well over an hour (no one checked on us or our nails during this time) after the polish application... and the polish never dried properly like a traditional regular polish would have. It kept smudging even after they "checked" that mine were dry. My cousin had it worse. They had to wipe her polish off (after we waited all this time!) And just re-applied once more. Complete waste of time. Regular polish is designed to air dry! We had to ask for fans multiple times, and even asked them to just consider curing the nails under the light so we could go home, but they just looked at us in confusion and re-painted the nails that would never dry and kept getting smudged. We went home and used a UV lamp we had to see if the nails would cure, confirming once and for all that it was gel polish that they used... guess what! They did! next time I am trusting my instincts. Oh, an additional issue was that I asked for a 3 pm appointment the day before and confirmed it over the phone. When I arrived at 2:50, I was told the appointment is actually at 3:30 and to come back. Clerical error on their part and they didn't admit it, so not a great first impression.

I arrived 5 minutes early and checked in without issue and my service started right on time. I did ask about acrylic overlay for my big toes as they often chip but Vivian I informed me they don't offer that and opted to use a bit of glue on one break I just got. I appreciated how she took her time and the end results were great. The business is clean and very intimate (I was the only person for the 1st 30 minutes of the appointment). I also saw her open new tools which I so love and I was relaxed the entire time. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area !!

I had my first appointment here on September 4th for a full acrylic set with gel polish. I have no…read morecomplaints about this set, and all nails remained in tact with no lifting until my fill. I made an appointment for a fill on Saturday, October 11th because the original set was holding up so well. During this appointment, I had the nail tech make the shape a bit more to my liking and did a simple French tip design. During the appointment, I noticed that (unlike other fills I've gotten), she did not go around the base of the nail to clip any potential lifting-- she just went straight into applying a new layer of acrylic. I'm not the professional, so I didn't think anything of it. The design came out beautiful, and I was again happy with the service. Unfortunately, two days later on Monday, October 13th, half of a nail popped off when I was wiping my hands. The acrylic popped off, but did not cause any damage to my nail underneath. They are closed Tuesdays, so I called on Wednesday to ask when I could come in to have the nail fixed. Ordinarily, when a customer is inconvenienced because of an application error, I would expect the service provider to correct it immediately. Instead, they told me to come in Thursday. I was slightly disappointed, but agreed. On Thursday, October 16th I went in and got the nail fixed. During this appointment, the nail tech noted she filed down too low on my nails and checked the integrity of the rest of the nails. She fixed the broken nail, and I was on my way. Two days later on Saturday, October 18th, I knocked a different nail on the stove. I've been getting acrylic nails for a decade and have jammed my nails much much worse and not caused any damage. This was merely a graze on the top of the stove. On Sunday, October 19th, I realized that this caused a crack in the middle of the nail. With some finesse, I was able to get the tip off without disrupting my natural nail, but this had already caused a complete tear to the middle of my nail bed, so I had to clip my natural nail down. Within a week of getting the fill, I've had two nail breaks and this was not due to any aggressive treatment to my hands. Worse, this second break has gone down to the middle of the nail bed, so I can't get this fixed. This is a luxury service and this shop has add on costs for everything (including for certain shapes). I can't, in good conscience, recommend this shop or its technicians because there are clearly quality assurance issues. The only reason I would return is to get the rest of this set soaked off because it is clearly a hazard. For the price, absolutely unacceptable.
