    Chrome gel manicure
    Michelle L.

    This is my new waxing place. I used to go to European Wax Center but I prefer this salon. It's much less painful because they don't use such large, long strips. I also appreciate how they can fit me in as a walk in. In regards to manicure/pedicures, I recently had both and felt they were fine experiences. I requested a chrome gel manicure and am satisfied with the results. My nails look well manicured and neat. Service overall is a bit no frills which was fine for me.

    On a lunch break and in need of a quick gel mani & pedi?? Walk-ins are welcomed! The ladies took one look at my scrubs and knew right away my requested services needed to be done efficiently and gently. It was an overall lovely experience! A very calming, aesthetic vibe. Definitely coming and recommended for all!

    Getting ready for the summer!

    I don't normally get my nails done but this place did a great job. I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, and added on a foot massage. The foot massage was . The ladies there were very friendly and efficient. Plus they had a lot of color options as well.

    tldr: super relaxing and peaceful nail salon with cushy chairs, ambient piano music, and kind staff! and manicures are only $18! This was my first manicure ever, so I went into this nail salon with long, unkempt nails of different shapes and sizes. My nail technician Thuy did an amazing job shaping my nails into cute little almonds and caring for my cuticles. I actually scuffed my nail while trying to pull my credit card out, and despite telling her that it wasn't a big deal, she insisted on fixing the nail for me. Highly, highly recommend this nail salon! I honestly can't stop looking at my nails. Will definitely return for more manicures -- I'm hooked.

    Ruined Nails

    Nail tech overfiled my natural nails and ruined them. Did not take blame. Inexperienced. This is one of the shadiest nail salons I've ever been to. I do not recommend.

    Bloody Cuts.

    DO NOT GO HERE!!! I hate leaving bad or negative reviews but I've never had so much pain and injury caused during a nail service ever. I called and asked if they could remove so i Dip nail polish that was very grown out. Well past The half-moon shape at the base of your fingernail is known as a lunula. They said yes so I came in, upon arrival they were very rude to me and yelled at me. I was in paid most of the service and yelping, I almost Left but thought it would be over soon. I asked for bandaids and they quickly rushed me out the door after charging me $20. My fingers hurt so much and I have 4 open and bloody wounds. Just awful. I did not tip and To be honest I shouldn't have paid.

    I treated myself today! I was drawn in by the peaceful vibrations. While I was there the owner did her morning prayer in the front with a lovely incense. There was lovely classical music end many colors to choose from. Mai did my toes and and I also opted for a ten minute massage. This is exactly what I needed today! My nails were really needing some help. They are perfect now. i am highly Clairscentient and I really could feel the purity of spirit here.

    I had to peel the polish out of my cut so now the polish is already lifting up. This is 5 hours after my manicure

    I have a high tolerance for mediocre service at nail salons but after my third visit here I've decided no more. Service: Everyone besides the owner is cordial enough. The owner on the other hand seems like she's permanently grumpy. While it might be her demeanor and usual resting face she seems like could care less if she had return customers, which isn't smart for business. Quality: Are they diluting the nail polishes? Each coat added looks watery as if it was mixed with clear gel polish. They also don't have all of the colors from their choices of nails they tell you to look at. My manicurist broke through my skin from filing! I bled and she wasn't terribly apologetic about it until she took her own nail to scrape the nail polish off which had settled into the cut that resulted that the file. All in all, it was sloppy work and lack of attention. Look fine, you cut me but you really had to aggravate it? Besides getting cut my cuticles have polish all over. The hand massage is a joke. They lather the lotion, and don't do a massage. For $30, crappy service and quality I'm done. Don't come here. There are a ton better out there. I'm sorry I betrayed my go to salons near my house.

    The day it was done.

    Thuy is amazing at nails! I've been to many nail salons and often times they filed too much and caused damages to my nails. What I like about Thuy is that she filed my nails to perfection and applied perfect amount of gel. My manicure lasted for a good 2 weeks and still looking amazing.

    Terrible repair job by rude staff - see my review
    Andrea F.

    I wanted to leave two stars, because some aspects of our mani/pedicures were ok. After seeing the state of my partners toe later that night, I feel like I have to be honest about the whole experience. When we first walked in, everything seemed fine. We were seen straight away, he for a mani pedi, just a pedicure for me. We sat down and I got to noticing some hygiene issues. The dirty smudged walls, sterilisation machine and other dirty equipment. Later, asking me to walk across the room barefoot to the dryer when everyone else was wearing shoes, was pretty gnarly. The woman who did my pedicure was friendly, a little too keen with the clippers and a little shy with the exfoliation but generally fine. After I'd been waiting about 50 minutes for my nails to dry, I asked an older woman wearing glasses behind me if they would be dry yet. Maybe she misunderstood? She just came over and yanked out the dividers, smudging my big toe in the process and tutting at me. Then things got uncomfortable. Clearly annoyed and without saying a word (to me at least. She mumbled something to a colleague.) She marched on with a botched-up repair job and did SUCH A BAD job - smudging in the process and applying the coats unevenly - clearly she wasn't qualified. Straight afterward she snapped at me to put on a pair of disposable flip flops and threw my shoes in a bag. I was pretty confused as I had only asked her how long they would take to dry and would've been happy to wait instead of being pushed out into the dusty street. It was intimidating, I kept trying to be as polite, passive and grateful as I could to assuage her. Then when we went to pay, my partner tried to enter a custom tip amount of 15% (we were pretty annoyed at how rude she was,) but she grabbed the screen off him and chose 20% for herself! To complete the whole experience, my partners toe has been in pain all day since and started swelling up. We are hoping a trip to our physician won't be necessary. Neither of us would return to this place.

    Hmm no foot spa, just THIS.

    DECENT. 2.75 stars You hear nothing but Vietnamese language and you think they're talking about you "...Blah blah blah CHAN BAN (dirty feet) blah blah blah". Lol I'm just being sarcastic. Accepted my walk-in. They didn't have foot spas, they had silver bowls with milky-blue liquid and coffee beans. My feet didn't even get a nice soak, more like a dip before they went to work. Barely scrubbed my feet, barely filed my toe nails, and barely messaged my feet and calves. Same with my finger nails. Barely had it's soaking and cleaning. BUT THE PAINT JOB is good. They pained all the way deep in the crevasses of the space between nail to cuticle. It's appreciated. Will I be back? Nah. Until the next review...

    Foot bath with coffee beans
    Caya S.

    I've been getting pedicures for 20 years and my mom brought me here and it really changed the game. Beautiful low lighting, relaxing music, large comfy chairs, coffee beans in the soothing foot bath! The pedicure was both relaxing and looks incredible. I also got an extra hand massage while I waited for toes to dry and she was phenomenal. Highly recommend! I will be back!

    I have been here couple of times to give this place a chance and both times I have been disappointed. The pedicure soak seems really fancy with coffee beans, but the pedicure itself is very substandard. Both times I asked for Callus removal and both times they barely made an effort to do it. The pedicure doesn't include a massage and you have to pay $10 for it. The first time at least the lady tried to sell that, the second time she didn't even bother to ask. Also I got gel nails and my right index finger fell off within a day !!! I have never had this happen before. If I go here I would only go out of necessity as I live right around the block and it's convenient. I wouldn't go here again by choice.

First, the salon itself was clean, well ventilated, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I appreciated that the space felt comfortable and sanitary. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the quality of my nails this time, especially considering the price. I got a gel extension manicure and a pedicure and ended up paying $178 total (including $15 tip), which honestly shocked me. I was charged extra to remove my previous acrylics, and I also asked for callus remover during the pedicure, which somehow made the pedicure price extremely high. The pedicure itself was okay, but the massage was very underwhelming. The bigger issue is the manicure. There's visible gel/glue buildup underneath several of my nails, and they just don't look professionally finished. For the amount I paid, I expected much cleaner work and better attention to detail. I really wanted to love my experience because I had such good experiences here in the past, but unfortunately this visit did not match the quality or value I expected.

I can tell it's well loved by the surrounding community because there were so many people who walked in and knew the staff by their first name.

Short of breath, I made it to the top of the hill and to my destination *phew. It was a nice quad and glute workout for sure. I was greeted by a friendly staff and led to a wall of nail polish (sometimes the choices are overwhelming). I chose a bright pink and sparkly OPI nail polish. It felt summery. I ended up feeling tense as I sat and eased my feet into warm water. Annie, my nail artist, told me to relax but my body wanted to do the opposite. I think I get tense when my toenails are being cut as if to anticipate pain, but when I felt comfortable with her technique, I started to relax. It was probably the most relaxed I've been all week. Annie was sweet and attentive. She also did a really good job removing my cuticles and massaging my calves. I needed it! It was a great way to end a stressful day at work. I would love to come back!

The technician clipped my cuticle too far, causing bleeding, and was very rough throughout the service -- especially while removing the builder gel and filing my nails. She also skipped steps that Andrew had previously done, which affected the overall quality. I clearly asked for a gel builder fill and to keep my length, but she began filing my nails down anyway. I had to repeat myself multiple times and eventually had to switch to Gel-X just to regain the length that was removed. There also seemed to be a language barrier. However, instead of asking a coworker for clarification, she continued with what she thought I said rather than confirming my request. I ultimately had to stop and ask another staff member walking by to help translate. Additionally, pricing was not transparent. The service is listed online as $70 for a gel builder fill, but I was charged $85. When I asked about it, I was told I had already been given a discount, which was confusing and not explained. This technician needs more professionalism and should be spoken to regarding both technique and customer care. Overall, this experience felt rushed and careless, which was very disappointing given how great my first visit was.

At times, I felt awkward trying to figure out what was possible on my own while the technician simply watched instead of assisting me. At my last visit, the Gel-X application felt especially rushed.
