I gave up 2.5 hours, $120 for damaged nails!! I went to…read moreSue's nails about a week ago for a no chip manicure, and a pedicure. The visit started well, and the woman who did my pedicure was very pleasant. It wasn't the best pedicure, but it also wasn't the worst. I was then given to a different tech for my no chip manicure. The tech suggested dip powder instead, and informed me that the no chip manicure was 38, and the dip would be 46. But I let her that since I already had a no chip color picked to match my toes (they stated they didn't have the same color in a dip) that I didn't want to do the dip this visit, because the color wouldn't match. The tech then proceeded to put an acrylic powder on my nails with a clear nail polish. I was not asked if I wanted to do an extra service, and I didn't say anything because in my mind we already had the plan set. So I figured it was some kind of strengthening technique. but somehow, my total came up to 46 anyway. So I was given a service that I didn't ask for, and then charged for it. At that point I was there for well over two hours, and I wasn't in the mood to argue. I went to pay, and I was informed they only accept tips via cash or Venmo. So I had to drive around and look for an ATM in order to tip the techs, and that's when I noticed a nail that had imperfections. Therefore, I had to also have them fix that nail. And the way it was fixed was by putting a whole other layer of polish. Which made the nail extremely thick! Less than a week later, it all chipped off, and now my nails are completely damaged!

I asked him to trim down my nails and he didn't do it. There were also some bumps in the polish. The manicurist was just odd.. She didn't talk the whole time even though she spoke perfect English. She wasn't that friendly at all. It just seemed like she was just doing her job and that's it. Not personable at all. It was just an awkward silence through the whole service. Not my favorite place.

I've had gel sets from here before, fills, and I just got back from my first manicure (no chip) and pedicure here. They now have a woman who works there named Stacy who speaks perfect English and is very, very friendly. Don't get me wrong, though, all of the people here speak English and are well spoken. I mention this because I know this is a concern to some people when trying to find places to get their nails done. I had a deluxe type of pedicure where they exfoliated, pumiced, and dipped my feet in hot wax. I also got a no chip manicure directly after. All of this together cost $65. The price is a little high compared to some other places, but I've also been to cheaper places and was extremely disappointed. Everyone who works there is very nice and even the men who work there are perfectionists. I also paid close attention to how they cleaned the foot baths and watched as each employee took fresh tools out of sealed packages for each guest. I tend to bring in pictures of what I want and I recommend anyone else do the same, but I am sure they'll give you results you want. The only reason I'm not giving them five stars is because of the price (the cost of fills are almost as much as a full set!).

My total ended up being over $100 for those two parts which is not what their website advertise. The nail tech who did my nails was rushing because she wanted to get to her regular client, and because of this the color isn't the one I picked, she drilled my natural nail when i asked to keep the length and some of my nails are crooked. When I would bring something like the shape up she kinda yelled at me for not noticing before i washed my hands after the filing. During my pedicure the lady next to me got their express pedicure which is supposed to be shorter than the bubble pedicure, but somehow she finished after me? I was told i had no calluses to shave off which is so wrong, and I asked for no olive oil at the end because it messes up my sandal, but she put it on anyway. Overall I have been here before and last year they were great, so i thought my last visit 4 weeks ago was just a one off bad time but today's experience really sealed the deal that their quality has gone way down. I will be finding a new nail place because this was unacceptable.

I…read morestopped in at a different nail salon across the street first, but there was a wait and I was in a big rush. I was driving around aimlessly and then saw this place. It is probably the nicest nail salon I've ever been in and it's huge! They have the big, leather massage pedicure chairs, a waiting area and a separate section in the back for drying your nails. Also, they have two or three flat-screen tv's to watch. The guy, who I assume is the owner, is very nice. At my first visit, I told him I was in a big hurry. One girl started my manicure, but after the owner finished up with his client, he personally came over and finished my nails since he knew I needed to get out of there soon. It was the quickest manicure I've ever had, but also one of the best. It was very neatly done. i believe they offer additional services besides mani/pedis, but I have yet to partake in one. The staff is friendly without being overbearing. I hate salons where, even after being given the hint to leave me alone and just be quiet, they continue to try to chat me up. It's not going to make your tip any bigger. As if!

The manicure was an absolute disaster. The technician was clearly inexperienced and struggled with a basic classic service, redoing the nails four times while aggressively pushing for acrylics we didn't want. To top it off, her long hair wasn't pulled back and literally dragged through my daughter's wet polish, ruining the finish. After nearly three hours, we were too exhausted to ask for a fifth fix and just wanted to leave. Even after speaking with the owner, Justin, about our experience, there was no offer of compensation or even a discount for the ruined service. While we didn't ask for one, you would expect a business owner to want to make things right after such a blatant lack of professionalism and skill. Between the poor quality and the lack of customer care, I cannot recommend this salon. Save your money and your time.
