    very welcoming and relaxing environment. Friendly and Attentive staff. Prices are reasonable. Very beautifully decorated. I hade a simple mani, but a marine spa pedicure which was so relaxing and left my feet so soft. If you want a real spa treatment or just a simple mani/pedi, you must try this place. They also do lash extensions.

    Polish came off
    Pat P.

    She had to keep removing and redoing the gel polish because it was clumping and not drying well. She finally got it right, but one week later the polish peeled off. It should've lasted 2-3 weeks. I don't like that there's no desk lamps, so they are not working in a bright environment to see all this. I won't be back.

    Pretty water

    I decided to come to Nu Zen for a pedicure, because not only was I due for one, but I'm going out this weekend and wouldn't be able to do it any other time. The website said that the place closes at 7:30pm. With literally only 20 minutes to spare, I feared that I wouldn't make it in time. With 10 minutes left, I made my final right turn and was immediately greeted by the lot that housed Nu Zen. Hallelujah!The colors caught my eye right away and there was plenty of parking. I saw only 2 vehicles and worried that I might have missed my window of opportunity. There was a man outside with a mask tending to the entrance door, doing something to it, I'm not quite sure of what, but I called out to him and I asked him if they were still open. They were. *mental happy dance*. So I park and my mom and I get out the vehicle and proceed to the building. It's a very welcoming atmosphere. We were the only 2 patrons there. With soft instrumental music playing, I was guided to the pedicure station and asked to pick out a color for my feet. I chose OPI, You've Got Nata On Me! It's such a pretty color. My Pedicurist was Yoko and Lynn was the one who did my mom's feet. My mom was seated next to me, so I was able to observe Lynn's handiwork. So for Yoko, she was amazing and she did a great job. Overall. She shaped my nails really well. A little back story to gain some perspective...it's been over 7 months since the last time I professionally got my feel done. With my personal life taking precedence over everything else, I made little to no effort to allow anyone else to take care of or service me. With some mental pep talk, I decided it was time for some much needed me time. After soaking my feet in the tub of water that was lined with a plastic bag and doing her magic on my toes, Yoko massaged my feet and my legs and it was amazing. It reminded me of how much I need a massage, which they also do here. She applied a scrub to my feet and legs and followed it with some lotion. When she was about to paint my nails, she applied a parrafin treatment placed in plastic bags to each of my heels and left it there until she was done. It was a nice experience and my feet were happy. Once she was done, she led me to the foot drying station and proceeded to give me a teaser of a shoulder massage. It was really nice and once again I was reminded that I'm missing out on a much needed massage. When it's time for me to go back, Yoko will definitely be my go to person. On to Lynn. My mom hasn't had a professional pedicure since her last stroke. Lynn was very attentive and gentle with my mom. She did a wonderful job of filing her toes and taking care of her feet and it looked great. When she was done applying the nail polish to her toes, as to keep her comfortable, Lynn had my mom remain in her seat while she got one of those accordion styled fans and fanned her feet. It was very thoughtful. My mom enjoyed getting her feet done and said she would go back. Once we were officially done, we paid, tipped and made our way outside. Once there I was able to observe my feet in the natural light. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that even though the nail polish looked good, it wasn't a seamless application. I could see that the area between my toenail and my skin on the side of my toe received no love. I mean, if you were looking at my feet, you couldn't see it, but if you got closer, you would notice it. I'm a stickler for those minor details. On the next go around, should it happen again, I'll be sure to say something about it and not get lost in the massage. Over the experience was wonderful

    I forgot to take a picture of the interior. I love the decor. I had a good experience here but it could've been better. I got a massage from Nancy and she was incredible! I felt sooooo relaxed. She talks through the massage to make sure she's not too rough, which is ok I guess, but I'm used to falling asleep lol The hiccups I encountered were when I was offered tea or water. I asked for tea but never got it. I asked 3 more times and eventually went and got it myself in between treatments. I forgot to ask for the lady's name who did my mani and pedi but she wasn't the greatest. She filed me toenails down too short and didn't fully cover my fingernails with polish, even after I showed her the cuticles and corners were bare. ‍ I really like the way they do pedicures tho. The foot soak and choice of lotion are a nice bonus that give you a silky smooth feel afterwards. I might go back but if so, I'll just ask for Nancy and hope she can do my mani and pedi.

    Def my new fav nail place. Clean professional and beautiful finishes. I've gotten both a gel and powder manicure and love them both. Couldn't be happier - can't wait to try them for a pedicure. Updating my review** went back for another and powder and it was truly terrible. I guess it depends on who you go to. My nails were uneven, bumpy and misshapen. Needless to say won't be coming back. I look for consistency

    Powder manicure
    Mary P.

    I was very happy with my service. The manicurist really took her time to do my powder nails! Place hs very relaxing.

    Pedi with "Kerry"

    Atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. I went in for a pedicure and the experience was great (and clean). I had a spa pedi (lavender with hot stone massage).
