Do you do sculptured nails or acrylic tips?

Hi was wondering if you do acrylic toes?

Hi, pedicures and acrylic toes are not available.

Hi, I have been looking to get my nails done but nothing seems to stay on my nails and I'm not a huge fan of acrylic. I have seen some posts about hard gel nails but I'm not totally sure what that is would you be able to provide more information?

Hi, hard gel is more durable than regular gel polish it can stay on longer because it’s more resistant and won’t break down with acetone or water.

How much do you guys charge for nail art?

It depends on the detail and intricacy of art you are looking for and also if you are looking to get art on all the nails or only an accent nail then the price can vary as well.

I shouldn't have booked because my experience only worsened. Their cancellation policy does not have a force majeure clause meaning even if you get Covid-19 your $100 deposit will be taken from you (and possibly more). I would have been a new client and notified my stylist as soon as I knew I had Covid. Due to the sickness manifesting outside of the cancellation policy my deposit was still taken. Usually the deposit and the entire fee of the service would be charged but regardless of the circumstances, even Covid which is out of everyone's control, there will be a significant fee if something out of your control causes it to be impossible for you to receive your service.

The man was extremely rough with my arms and hands and raised his voice at me multiple times. The "massage" portion of the manicure was so rough and jerky that he hit my elbow into the table multiple times, my boyfriend who was watching from the front thought he was "disinfecting my arms" and I think that tells you everything you need to know when pushing back my cuticle he was extremely rough as well. Wasn't spoken to or made eye contact with the entire time. As someone with anxiety this was the most stressful experience ever. Besides all of that, the nails themselves are messy and unprofessional. As someone without any training at all, I could easily do a better job at home. Save your money and go somewhere where they'll treat you like a human!

By the time we were seated it was pushing 3:20. One person started working on my feet, while the person I was there with just sat in the chair. Another 20 minutes goes by and no one had even come over to help. The person doing my toes went off to help someone with a transaction. In that time 3 more people came in for appointments, still with no one to help them. At that point we decided to cut our losses and leave. So we spent 40 minutes doing nothing. I got my toe nail polish off and toenails trimmed, that's it. The person I went with had no service done at all. No one really seemed to care that we weren't being helped or that we walked out. The person doing my toes did apologize but otherwise it felt like they didn't care and they had put us in the chairs only to keep us there not to serve us. I'm incredibly disappointed as I've had great experiences here before, but being treated that way, with an appointment is unacceptable. If you didn't have enough people to serve us, tell us that. I would have happily come later in the day or at a different time instead of being treated like that. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

I think i just got a lady going through a bad day because my friends had great service and their toes came out great. My lady kept getting annoyed with how my hand was laying on hers, and she rushed the whole thing. I was done in less than 15 mins. (Granted, this was my first time getting a fill so im not sure how long they are supposed to take) but my nails came out with parts not painted and i was bleeding on one of my fingers. Every one else was supper friendly but im not sure if ill come back. Update: Because this was my first acrylic fill when I wrote this review I was not aware that all the bumps and missing polish was not normal. Now I know! This was a very bad fill job. Not to mention It's been 4 days and my gel polish is also chipping.. I guess it was a waste of money and time. There were so many other techs there that seems nice and looked to have done great work..I wish I got one of them! I do appreciate the owner reading and responding to my review. Just wish I had gotten what i paid for..
