    This spot is always clean and music volume is appropriate enough to relax and nap if needed.
    Vi N.

    I came to this spot because I followed my girl from a different salon. She went MIA on me after she left the old shop that I used to go to but I was able to find her at this new spot. This place is clean and the music is good. It's pretty peaceful compared to a lot of nail shops I go to.

    Second visit transaction receipt

    Title: SEVERE HYGIENE HAZARD - DO NOT RISK YOUR HEALTH HERE This was my second visit to this salon, and it will absolutely be my last. This place is a public health hazard. I actually specifically requested the male technician, Jaden, through the manager, Jenny, because I was so satisfied with his work during my first visit. I was generous enough to leave him a $10 cash tip the first time to show my appreciation. I even asked Jayden about his experience today, and he told me he had been working for 3 years. It is absolutely shocking that a professional with 3 years of experience would so blatantly disregard basic safety protocols and betray a returning customer. During my service, Jayden attempted to use a visibly used, UN-SANITIZED cuticle nipper on my skin--a tool that had clearly been used on multiple other clients. When I immediately stopped him and demanded a properly sterilized tool, he gave a ridiculous excuse, implying it was "okay" because it was for the "outside." This is medically and professionally absurd. Here is the reality they don't want you to think about: You never know what kind of blood-borne diseases or severe infections the person before you carried. If you are unlucky enough to contract something life-threatening from their dirty tools, it is a senseless tragedy caused by pure negligence. Furthermore, it is notoriously difficult to prove the direct causal link between a specific salon visit and an infection after the fact, meaning you will be left with irreversible health damage and zero compensation. I am not being "dramatic" or "difficult." By speaking up loudly and demanding the manager, I was holding this establishment to the bare minimum standard of human safety. I spoke up to protect other clients who might not know better from facing deadly consequences. The store manager, Jenny, came over. She couldn't even argue because she knew I was 100% right, and she apologized profusely. She admitted to the massive safety failure and promised to report it to the boss. However, the most disgusting part was the checkout. After her staff completely jeopardized my life and safety, you would expect them to waive the fee. Instead, Jenny still had the audacity to piece together some "promotions" and charge me $27. I paid the bill, but unlike my first visit, I absolutely left a $0 tip. Hygiene is a life-or-death matter, not an option. Do not gamble with your health here

    First time at this salon. It was very easy to set up an appointment on the phone. Same day. Parking is tight, but I was able to grab a spot. Service was great. I was greeted and attended to immediately. The manicurist was patient with me, gentle, and did a great job. The space is clean, inviting, and fun. The employees didn't speak much to each other, nor to the customers. Not a complaint, just an observation. I hope to be back again!

    This is the type of place where you can feel confident in getting 10/10 work from any nail tech. I've worked with so many of them and never been disappointed. Today, Katie blew me away with her artistry and understanding of color/shading. Huge bonus: They are *always* on schedule and abide by appointment times.

    Nails Need Love is officially my new go-to Tyson absolutely killed my nail design!! I'm honestly blown away by the detail and creativity. On top of that, the pricing is amazing for the quality of work. The salon itself is super clean, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the whole atmosphere is just so welcoming. Such a great experience from start to finish--highly recommend!

    Incredible nail art and all around great service! I got a gel x manicure with nail art done by Tyson and the nails turned out so amazing, he is truly an artist. I brought in a reference photo and we talked about what I liked about the nails and the colors I wanted and I think it turned out even better than the pic. The salon itself is super comfortable, they offered me water and la croix as soon as I sat down. I also splurged on the green tea refresh pedicure and I highly recommend if you're looking for some relaxation & callus removal. Will definitely be back soon

    My new favorite place to get my nails done. I love the vibe and they're so quick and talented. Highly highly recommend!!

    They were able to take me on a Sunday for a well overdue gel pedicure!!
    Christine T.

    Not going to lie....I was stressed when walking in on a Sunday in my gray sweat uniform (if you know you know). I had let the nails get beyond unacceptable...it was a mani/pedi emergency. They could only do my pedi at first. I agreed knowing my anxiety would be over the top! I could not make another week at the current status. lol All good--they took care of me. Out of pity? Don't care! 5 star every day/all day! See you soon

    Long overdue nail review but I highly recommend making an appointment in general and requesting Key!!! He is the best. I had a reference picture for nails and he replicated it so well but also added his own touches. You're allowed to tip when you pay up front. Call and book, they get busy FAST and do not have time for walks ins. Apple Pay accepted

    Was recommended this place by an acquaintance as I'm from out of town. It was super easy to book an appointment on their website the night before. The people were incredibly friendly and I liked the interior aesthetics: modern and chic. I also liked the guy who worked on my pedicure. He gave a long foot massage (although could have applied more pressure). But here's where the major issue lies... The gal who worked on my hands was quiet but friendly. Sadly, did a major hack job on my hands, quite literally, as she took chunks of skin on two of my fingers and a thumb! WTF. See photo evidence attached of all three injuries. I've had a cut here and there around the cuticles from other establishments (and never went back) but this is one of the worst I've had. I don't know if it's inexperience that causes this or what but it's BAD. I still left a generous tip and deeply regret it. Would love a refund for the nails honestly. Really sad because I wanted to adore this place. Maybe you'll have better luck if you want to take a chance. However, there are other places out there that won't injure you. So, if you can find those places, stick with them. Having these injuries on my fingers suck so bad--especially since I work a lot with my hands! My nails got love but now the injuries they gave me need love too.

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

    Love my nails, I believe Jayden did them! They're so cute for February :) I was a walk in and my first time getting nails done. I was taken in quickly and I ended up loving them! Everyone was very friendly and shop was clean! 10/10

    Mia is ABSOLUTELY amazing! Her attention to detail and consistency is impressive. The whole team has been so nice to me.

Decent prices and clean facility. I have gone here for my lady parts a handful of times and it's been a great experience. I have been waxing for awhile so I can't speak to newbies who want feedback on pain. Just so you know the first few times are uncomfortable. If you have a high pain tolerance you're good. If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding.

But the 2nd and 3rd time I came here Linda wasn't there so I was seen by someone else and both times , I asked for a playboy yet I didn't get what I wanted. One waxed everything off forgetting I was getting a play boy, and the other time the girl doing my playboy didn't do it correctly. I assumed she didn't know what a triangle playboy looked like because when she was done , it didn't look like a triangle at all. And staff gets rude when you tell them how you wanted it after not going it correctly. Not coming back to this locations again. Staff needs to be trained more. Staff also needs to confirm what kind of wax the client is getting before waxing everything off .

I wanted to go with a pink polish on my toes, however, I was asked if I wanted gel instead of polish 3 separate times because "polish will chip in 2 days". She also asked me which color I wanted on my toes 3 separate times even though I had picked my color already, and then ended up selecting a color for me. I'm happy with the overall results of the pedicure but the process itself was a bit stressful. Payment - I paid with card and tipped cash and was told "next time pay with cash". Overall, I was happy with the end results and the speed and availability, but there are some things service-wise that could be improved upon.
