I have to say, I was a little skeptical because it's in a prime Union Street location and I thought…read moreit would be bougie and over priced. I got there Saturday afternoon about 4pm. I was just in for an over due pedicure. There was a mix of men and women in chairs getting their nails done. There's a really good selection of colors to choose from. I went with a soft pink for my toes. They have nice massage chairs and while you're soaking your feet, they bring you a heated shoulder pad the drape on. I almost left with it still on because I forgot it was there! They did a super job. I wish they cut my nails shorter because my pinkie toes still had sharp edges. Yikes. When I asked, someone filed them and they were just right.

I wish I didn't have to post this review after coming to this nail salon a few times already, but…read morethis was by far the worst pedicure I have EVER gotten. When I sat down in the chair, I specifically told the person doing my nails that I had not gotten a pedicure in awhile (6 months actually) since the last time I got one, they cut the sides of my toenails and I got such bad ingrowns and my nails literally split from how bad they were. I had to grow them out for that long and had not touched them so my right toenail was a little uneven from the split. She said Ok and said she would be careful. She asked if she could cut just the top of the nail to make it even and square. I said yes, and then repeated that I did NOT want anything on the sides of my toes touched. Despite MULTIPLE times telling her that, she took it upon herself to "clean up" the sides of my big toenails by cutting them at a 45° angle.... the EXACT thing that the previous salon did that absolutely destroyed my nails. When I realized, I asked her, and she tried to defend herself while lying multiple times. She had the audacity to say 1. My nails were already like that, then changed her story to 2. That she was "cutting away" the excess nail polish she had put on away". And then again changed her story to 3. That she actually didn't cut them at all and didn't know what I was talking about. I then said, no you absolutely cut them, why would you cut the inside of the nail when I SPECIFICALLY said at least 2-3 times not to? She replied with, well they're already cut, I can't do anything now. AND THEN TRIED TO CUT THE SIDES AGAIN MORE SAYING SHE WAS TRYING TO FIX IT. I literally had to push her hand away and say "absolutely not, please stop touching my nail." When I walked in, I asked for 2 coats funny bunny, 1 coat bubble bath. Well, 7 coats later and her saying bubble bath wouldn't look very good. I had to accept that my nails were just not going to look acceptable at al. You can actually still see the brush strokes of the polish... AFTER 7 COATS!! It was absolutely absurd how they could not achieve a simple combination that is by far the most popular nail polish combo right now. After she said she was done, I paid, and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I was on the bridge of tears knowing how long it had taken me to recover from my previous nail fiasco and how long it was going to take to recover from this. I am getting married in August and honestly so sad that my nails might still be affected by this. When I got home, I burst into tears and couldn't believe the state of my nails. After more inspection, I realized she DIDN'T EVEN PAINT MY RIGHT PINKY TOE!!!! I am going to a wedding abroad on Wednesday, so as you can imagine, I was pissed. I had to file down some of my other nails because they were shaped so badly. My big toes don't even look the same shape. I walked back into the store before a dinner reservation and asked for a refund. She asked me to take off my shoes so she could inspect my toes. I told her what had happened and that my pinky toe wasn't even painted. She said she couldn't offer me a refund, just a gift certificate since the service was completed. I responded with... well not really cause my toe was not painted and she specifically did something I asked her not to do. I didn't even mention how bad the nail polish application was since I thought it was pretty fricken apparent and had an uber waiting. I ended up taking the gift certificate since I was in a hurry, and they said I could come back to get them redone and there would be a different person there to do them. I don't know why they would think I would EVER go back there again, but I will be filing a dispute with my CC company. So sad since I had been here multiple times before and live down the street. Would NOT recommend.

It ended up getting kind of busy while I was there and I feel like the technician working on my manicure was rushing a little, but I'm happy with how my nails turned out. She mixed a couple of shades together to make something natural and pink for me, and I love how the color turned out. This is not the place for you if you're particular about cleanliness and ambiance. It's not a spa-like experience, and the space is quite small so if you're getting your hands done you are somewhat close to the feet of the people getting pedicures done. I didn't really mind this until another customer asked for callous removal, but there's nothing they can really do about it. I think the price is really reasonable (especially for the area). I didn't have anything on my nails and got a full set of gel x for $65 (before tip). I asked about chrome and was told it is $15 extra, but I decided not to get it on this mani. All in all, I think this is a great place to get your nails done if you care more about the results than the process.

I learned about Russian manicures & pedicures & how the nail service is meticulous, especially with cuticle care. I heard about Zorina from a friend & made an appointment online for a gel pedicure with a master level nail tech. Milana, my nail tech, showed me the fresh nail kit before she began. She spent a lot of time removing rough skin & dry cuticles. She was very gentle too. My feet were so soft afterwards! I chose a pale pink color to start but changed to a slightly more pink gel polish. The top coat was either clear, silver sparkle or gold sparkle & we agreed that silver sparkle would be subtle & pretty. They offer complementary beverages including hot tea, coffee, water or champagne where the QR code is next to the service chair. I just had water & was given the cutest little wooden bowl of snacks (mixed nuts, died fruit & a bit of chocolate).

I arrived 15 minutes late for my appointment, I called to let them know and the front desk let me know they'd only have time for a regular mani-pedi instead of the service I originally booked. That was fair, and I agreed to it. However, when another customer wanted to add more services to her booking, the front desk suddenly came back to me and said they no longer had time for my mani-pedi at all. Even though I still had 45 minutes left in my original appointment slot. It felt like they were prioritizing appeasing another customer at my expense, instead of honoring the appointment I had already adjusted to. It was disrespectful and unacceptable. After pointing out that I had driven 20 minutes and had already agreed to the reduced service, they finally went ahead with my mani-pedi. The technician did a decent job, but the way the front desk handled the situation left a really bad impression.

Sammi is the consummate perfectionist. I have been getting my manicure and pedicure from her, along with a foot massage and hand and arm massage for the past two years. She is very friendly, helpful, and professional, and uses sealed and sanitized tools, which she opens right in front of me. As a chef, and sanitation freak, that always impresses me, and gives me a comforting feeling. Sammi performs her work in a careful, meticulous manner, which is very important in her profession. Her rates by the way, are very reasonable. read more

They have SO many color options for a gel manicure, more than ANY other place I've ever been to, which is fantastic! Most places don't have the exact shades I want so I end up settling, but I never have to here, whether it is light blue, classic red, or pink that's so light it's nearly white. Half of the gel color options can be found by the front door, but don't forget to check all the options that line the side wall and back wall also. It's a small, cozy salon: two manicure stations and four pedicure stations. It's very relaxing here. I like that they have chill music on in the background instead of the news or some sitcom, which wouldn't be as relaxing. I like to look out the window as I'm getting my nails done. Good people-watching on Lombard Street. The salon is located right next to Barry's Bootcamp. As with any place, it's best to come when they're not very busy. Most of the ladies seem to have Venmo, but not all have it, so come prepared with cash for tips just in case. Note that they are closed on Sundays. Bring your own fingerless UV gloves if that's important to you too.
