Booked 2 weeks from when I called and I was able to bring a friend. The experience was amazing and she was fast and efficient. I just showed her a picture of what I wanted and it was done.

Absolutely needed my nails done during this crisis I did not want to have to damage my natural…read morenails by prying and peeling the acrylics that I've been getting done every two weeks for the past 10 years off of my nails I was totally freaking out so I scoured the Internet and found Dolly on yelp Unfortunately for me my service was lacking in skill. Payed $75 plus tip for a fill with some rhinestones and colored and acrylic glitter. I do not mind-spending this amount of money to get my nails if the quality and craftsmanship is worth it unfortunately under these circumstances it just wasn't there. Also my nails were burning for about an hour and a half after I left I've never experienced anything like that before. I don't know if it was a different product that may have been used that my nails weren't used to, or what but it's something to note. The rhinestones are pretty and The nails aren't completely horrible but the shape of them is just not up to par with what you would expect when going to a nail salon. I feel like the skill level is just not there and a lot more practice is needed. I also came in with a broken nail paid five bucks to have it fixed but the nail tip that was used was a clear nail tip meanwhile the rest of the tips that I have on my nails are not clear so I have this one nail on my finger that does not match any of my other nine nails. I was not discounted for this at all. I would not mind paying 40 bucks for what I received today but $80 was completely overpriced for what I received and I won't be returning, sadly. The whole experience was a little Bizzarre and uncomfortable. I did give three stars for the ease in setting up the appointment and Dolly also seemed like a nice person.

I've had manicures, pedicures, and gel extension tips, and I've been happy with all of my services. Ivy is super kind and does a beautiful job on nails, and Kathy is amazing for pedicures--very thorough and attentive. The salon itself is spacious, airy, and not overcrowded like many other nail salons. The seating is comfortable but still stylish, which makes the whole experience feel more relaxing. They also offer drinks and snacks, which is a nice touch--I enjoyed a mimosa during my visit and left feeling good and pretty. Parking is easy, which is always a plus. I would definitely recommend and will be returning!

She has the most advanced equipment (drills, vent, pin cure etc.) out of any salon I've been to and does a great job at nail care and nail art.

(Price for nail art is arbitrary) Still, she was very attentive to my needs and I was happy to have all the checkboxes ticked. It may be on the pricier side, but you will get your money's worth!
