    French tip with rhinestones
    Matet L.

    I really like coming here. My previous nail salon had left my nails damaged using an electric file. When I first came here, they used nourishing gel and overlay to help strengthen my nails while they were growing back. I no longer feel the need for overlay, but I feel safer coming here to have my old gel removed since they use a less damaging technique. The customer service here is great.

    Shoutout to Yuri & her sweet coworker who also did my nails. They were so nice and chill. Can't wait to come back! It was the perfect experience and I love my nails.

    Love the friendly service and the artwork is always on point! I have had my nails done by two of the technicians here and they were both so precise. I showed a reference image of the style I wanted and the results are always satisfying. I have been coming here for a bit and I knew I could trust them for my wedding nails. I got so many complements and my photographer took so many close ups of my hand! The parking is a little tricky because it is in the back and the direction is only one way but I always reserve appointments when there is plenty of space so I guess I have been lucky.

    My go to nail salon! Hands down best service! I always leave this place feeling pampered and super satisfied. The owner is always so welcoming and all of the girls who work there are all amazing artists and technicians. I've gotten my nails done by every girl that works there and they've all done fabulous work. Zero complaints!!! 10/10 would recommend to any of my girlfriends who need to get their nails done in Ktown.

    Nice place

    My only go to nail shop in k-town. They have a parking in rear. I love this place cause of the cleanliness, experienced nail techs and when I get gel mani/pedi, they last for more than a month. Very detail oriented so every time I come in, I leave with perfect nails. Honestly, 5 stars not even enough! Thank You :)

    I don't do my nails, I'm not prissy like that but we decided to go last minute cause well, we had nothing else to do. It was weird getting my nails done by koreans, first time for everything i guess. I liked how nice they were even though we made them stay an hour later than closing. The cleanliness was like any other nail place, not super clean but clean enough. But i liked their service. they were quick and did a good job. I would go back but make sure you make an appt cause they seemed very busy.

    This is my new nail shop! They did a great and thorough job on my nails and pedicure. I got exactly what I wanted. UPDATE: My nails were grown out in 1 week and my polish chipped in 4 days. I also realized that she didn't clean under my toenails during the pedicure.

    Very detailed
    Fabi L.

    Walked in here after almost 3yrs of having my dogs groom next door and I needed a mani pedi really bad. When I walked in I asked if could get someone that did a great good, just from previous experience in other salons the person helping me said everyone did a good job. Well let me tell you she was right I Love how detailed they are and they take their time to do an excellent job. Very happy this is my new go to nail spot I paid $70 for mani pedi gel and it was very worth it. Thank you Girls

    Finally I found perfect nail salon. I tried 1week ago. So far so good.. owner did it for me. I highly recommend. Two thumbs up! Awesome place. Also every nail technician are friendly..

    I went to nail story only because my friend had a gift card that she wasn't going to use. I made an appointment the day of and unfortunately went in 15 minutes late but they were very nice about it. The girl who did my nails wasn't the owner or the main manicurist, but she did an amazing job! She was very detail oriented, listened to what I wanted, and took her time to ensure flawless outcome. The design came out exactly the way I wanted it. It's been 8 weeks (yes 2 months!!) and I STILL get compliments on my nails. None of the cubics fell out and the gel is still intact! People are amazed when I tell them I got it done 2 months ago. This is the longest my gel nails have lasted! I would definitely go back to the girl who did my nails and get it done again

    PERFECT Christmas & sailormoon collaboration
    Juhee L.

    They dont need any comments. Skills and service is PERFECT. Every one who works are very friendly and nice. If you bring nail design. They do same or better ways for you. Totally recomment !

    Gems and parts for your ideas to put on your nails!

She was friendly, took her time, and gave me options for the chrome and nail polish colors to make sure I was happy with it. Her skill and attention to detail really showed. I'm so impressed with how long my nails have lasted. I've had them for a little over a month now and only have a couple small nail polish chips on my dominant hand! If they didn't grow out so much (I'm overdue to go back) I'm sure they'd last a few more weeks. I also got an Express pedicure from Natalie. While the pedicure I chose is standard, she was lovely and did a nice job. The salon was clean, has good music, and I appreciated the yummy tea. I'd definitely go back!

Highly recommend asking for Bob if you want someone who truly cares about their work! I loved the vibe in the salon as well, very beautiful and vibey

I specifically explained that I had gone to another salon before, but was unhappy with the results because the French tips were made too thick. I clearly stated that I wanted a thinner, more refined French tip. During my appointment, the nail technician called over three different employees to look at my nails. One of them looked at my nails, gave me a dirty look, and began speaking in Vietnamese. Although I do not speak Vietnamese, her tone and reaction were clearly unprofessional and made me feel uncomfortable. It sounded as though she was questioning why I was there, despite my explaining exactly what I wanted. When I asked if there was a problem, I was simply told that they were not confident they could achieve the look I wanted and therefore could not help me. I was shocked by the lack of professionalism and customer service. Had they communicated this during our text consultation, I would not have wasted my time driving to the salon and coming in for the appointment. I completely understand if a salon is unable to perform a specific service, but the way the situation was handled was disappointing and unprofessional. Customers should be treated with respect, regardless of whether the salon decides to take on the service requested. Will not be coming back.
