    Criss cross cat eye
    Collista W.

    I won't go anywhere else. I have been going here for years and I've gone to so many different salons through the years happy with one then l'd get a couple sets in a row I saw something wrong with or the nail tech would upset me wirh something small...I'm kinda picky but tiffany has never let me down, and she's very friendly. The pictures speak for themselves

    Nail starting to peel 5 days after getting them done
    Elizabeth C.

    Everyone will have different experiences when it comes to service industry. My nail tech was mimi and she was very unfriendly and when I requested my nails a certain way refused to do so saying "pink powder not look good on you." I have had pink powder and I know in fact it looks great on me! She proceeded to not listen when I said I wanted shorter. When I had to return because they were too long she was rude. Fast-forward to the following Tuesday my nail popped off less than a week later. I told them I couldn't make it due to work and she insisted that I come before I get off work and made it pretty clear that was the only allowed time. I wish I never went and allowed them to treat me so poorly and ruin my nails. By thursday (0ne week after wasting $65) I had lost 5 nails, she choose too small of acrylic or something for my nails.

    I asked for magenta coffin nails and I got thick squares and 5 layers of messy red paint . I asked multiple times for her to make the shape thinner and gave up. They were so bad I went to another salon after to get the paint fixed, and then on top of everything the original acrylics started popping off TWO DAYS after I got them done. Not worth the price I paid at all

    White on white French manicure. Tiffany did an amazing job!
    Nadia D.

    I think this salon is underrated. I saw Tiffany today for my French manicure and she did an amazing job! You may think it's hard to mess up a French manicure but well, I've had it happen. I'm also particular about the base color and she matched it perfectly to the photo I showed her. Great work and I will for sure be back!

    This is my favorite nail salon to go to by far! Tiffany did such a great job with this set, she was so precise and quick. They always make you feel so welcomed and do so amazing. Reasonably priced as well!!

    I came here for a mani pedi & love it! They were not rough on handling my feet, and honored my request to not scrub as I am ticklish. My nails came out just as I wanted. Thank you Tiffany!

Never had one problem at all at the salon. Today I had an absolute awful experience. I don't know if Linh is not experienced in Gel-X fill (she didn't even clean underneath my fingernails at all and they came out all lumpy) or she just had a bad day. Automatically she was in a bad mood the minute I sat in her chair. She had on a "stank" face and the way she spoke to me was extremely rude (what did IIIIIIII do to you??). No big deal I thought, everyone has a bad day! But then she proceeded to do my nails and literally made almost every single one of my fingers bleed! Like blood was coming out! Coming to the salon should be relaxing, but she made me stress out so much that my hands started shaking! Couldn't enjoy the pedicure that I was getting done at the same time at all!!!! I'm including a picture, and mind you that's after cleaning up all the blood. And it's only my left hand, my right one is worse!!! Do not get your nails done by Linh, she's awful, rude, disrespectful and just not good at her job at all!!!!!!!! NEVER had I more worse experience in a nail salon my whole life, and I'm almost 40! P.S. she also had extremely dirty gloves on (stained yellow that they started turning dirty brown), that also were ripped on some of her fingers! Jeeze lady, can't even change your DISPOSABLE gloves?!?

I usually have longer nails and get cute designs all the time but right now I've been having to do shorter nails instead. I really appreciate the time they still take to make sure my short nails still look just as good as my long. The shape is always perfect and the color(s) are nicely applied. I have never walked out disappointed. I also get pedicures here and it's so relaxing. They have several options but I like the one option that includes hot stones. And everything is very clean and professional. Honestly I recommend this salon to everyone. I went to a couple others before coming here and this is by far my favorite spot!

    I've given this salon a couple of chances and my nails each time come out thick, uneven, and messy,…read moreand I had to go back each time to have them corrected. While they did improve after being redone, they still weren't as clean and polished as I would expect for the price. A good set should be thin, not bulky or puffy, with a smooth surface (no lumps or dips), a clean cuticle area (no product on the skin), and straight, even shaping. When these things are off, it's noticeable right away. I'm not sure if it's the products being used, the application, or rushing, but for a mid-to-high price range, I expected better consistency and attention to detail. I was also told it was due to my natural nails, but I've had my nails done at other salons and never experienced these issues, so I don't believe that's the case. I really appreciate their willingness to fix the work, but I'd prefer a place that gets it right the first time without needing adjustments. Especially since those adjustments aren't the best either... Getting your nails done should be a fun, relaxing experience, not one where you're worried about the outcome each time.
