    Let me start by saying that I have terrible feet. After years in the military, my poor dogs have been left beaten and over-worked. My nail tech (I didn't catch his name, I'm sorry!) didn't hesitate at the state of my terrible feet, he just worked his magic and now I can wear sandals for the summer. The overall vibe was calm, and I could read my book without feeling pressured to talk to anyone or to add more services to my visit. Thank you to Pauline's Nails!

    Been wanting to go here for a while and I'm impressed with my nails. I've never left a nail salon happy until today. She took her time to do the small details and make the perfect shape. So happy!

    Great job to the kind woman who did a gel removal and pretty manicure with polish. I'll try my best to be back again to this no frills place welcome to walk ins like myself. My mother has a nice time with a gentleman, same treatment.

    I'm headed to Vegas and wanted fun nails. On a whim, I called and was able to come in right away. Boy, am I glad I found this place! Tom did my gel manicure, and Tuna was able to somehow read my mind and give me the design I was looking for with only looking at a similar photo for reference. She is fantastic and so extremely talented! I will definitely be back.

    Tracy is absolutely amazing!!! She has been doing my nails for years and they are stunning!! She can do any style you like and is great at them all

    Blue dipped nails without using tips!  What a nice option
    Allison B.

    Took me right away. Did my dipped nails in 1/2 hours. I never did my own short nails dipped. 2.5 weeks later an still looking nice

    Ive been going here for a little over a year, i always go to Tu Ngo (Tuna). She's the best, always so sweet, remembers everyones name, and always does the best nails. all of the pictures of my nails were done by her! will always go to her.

    Very sloppy manicure.

    Got a manicure today and am extremely dissatisfied. Very sloppy job. He had the nerve to tell me that's just how my nails are.

    Nail beds hurt and look horrible as well

    Very sloppy, expensive, and they are only nice to take your money. Once you ask them to fix what you don't like, they are very unprofessional and super rude. Go somewhere else, $70 wasted. The lady didn't understand me and painted my nail all one color when I just wanted the tip painted. When asked to fix it, her and the owner started yelling, "What you want?! Five dolla to fix, five dolla to fix!" When I already paid $70 for mani/pedi I don't even like and she didn't even give a good massage.

    Ask for tuna or Michelle! They are fantastic. They are very friendly and have reward points if you pay in cash.

    I really enjoyed this nail salon. It had walk in service and they allowed my friend that was not getting any services to tag along with me ! The nail tech was also very understanding that I had a few phone calls to make and was able to complete my nails without asking me to get off the phone. These are the longest lasting nails I've had no pop off start to peel away from the nail. They have lasted approximately 3 weeks !!!

    This was my first visit. A coworker recommended this salon (Joy). I was extremely pleased with my nails which were done by Ton! I have already made another appointment! You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Ton!

    This salon is great. I called a few hours prior to make an appointment, showed up 5 minutes early and was seated immediately. It was pretty busy so if I hadn't called I wouldn't know how long of a wait I would have had. Ben was my tech and took the time to see how I liked the shape and length as he worked. I liked that I could ask for him to adjust something and he would accommodate without making me feel I was being too picky. Prices are competitive with anywhere else but I feel the great service is what sets this place apart from others. Salon is next to EOS and they share parking, so keep that in mind because this is a busy gym at all times. Also cash gratuity is always appreciated and there is a boa atm across the street!

I always book my appointments ahead of time, and they consistently get me right in without any issues. After coming here for years, I can honestly say I've always had a great experience.

The pedicure packages include a lot, and I felt like the pricing was fair for everything that was offered. Definitely good value. They were super busy when I went, so I did have to wait for a bit. I wish when you made an appointment they had someone ready but I'm also used to that at nail places, this one is better than others. I'd just recommend making an appointment to avoid the wait being worse.

    Jayla W. 6/11/2026…read more(9:30 AM ENCOUNTER ) I originally went in for a pedicure and selected a blue color for my toes. The nail tech, Ruby, forgot the color I chose and painted them the wrong color. Because I was rushing to another appointment, she told me to come back the very next day and she would fix it. When I called to schedule the correction, Ruby wasn't there, so I made an appointment for 9:00 AM the following morning. Today, I arrived on time and waited over 30 minutes because she was late. During that time, the owner/manager came over, looked at my toes, took photos, and explained they had already been having issues with Ruby. Because I had already been inconvenienced by having to return for a mistake that was not mine, take additional time away from work, and then wait over 30 minutes for my scheduled appointment, I asked the owner if acrylic could be added to my big toenails at no charge as a gesture of goodwill for everything I had been put through. The owner agreed and instructed Ruby to do it. That is when the situation escalated. Instead of accepting the owner's decision and taking accountability for the original mistake, Ruby became argumentative and confrontational with me. At that point, my frustration was no longer about the color itself. It was about the repeated inconvenience, lack of professionalism, being late to a scheduled appointment, and being met with resistance and excuses rather than a sincere effort to correct the situation. The issue could have been resolved professionally, but Ruby's attitude and unwillingness to take responsibility turned a simple correction into an unnecessarily negative experience. I also want to be fair in my review. I previously had my fingernails done by Austin, and I will absolutely give credit where it is due his nail work is beautiful, and I was always happy with the quality of his services. However, I did have an experience where I felt he was unnecessarily rude to both my mother and me, and that interaction ultimately led me to stop booking with him. While I can acknowledge the quality of his work, customer service and professionalism are equally important to me as a paying customer.( Fortunate for me I do have this whole encounter voice recorded so that I was able to go back ACCURATELY create this HORRIBLE review! ) The salon itself is clean, well-maintained, and organized. The workstations, floors, and overall appearance of the shop were consistently kept neat during my visits. Cleanliness was never an issue, and I appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining a professional environment for customers. Stylist Review for Ruby: Ruby was the original technician who did my pedicure and unfortunately my experience with her was disappointing. She painted my toes SUPER SLOPPY the wrong color after I had clearly selected a different one and asked me to come back the next day to correct her mistake. SHE Never showed up the day she told me to come in to correct her mistake . When I returned for my scheduled appointment, she arrived over 30 minutes late. What was most frustrating was that instead of taking accountability for the inconvenience and mistake, she became argumentative when the situation was being addressed. Everyone makes mistakes, but professionalism is measured by how those mistakes are handled, and unfortunately that was lacking during my experience. Review for the Owner/Manager: I appreciate that the owner ultimately tried to make the situation right. At first, there seemed to be some hesitation when I requested acrylic on my big toes as a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience of having to return, missing work time, and waiting over 30 minutes past my appointment time. However, after reviewing the situation and recognizing everything that had occurred, the owner reconsidered and approved the request. While the experience should never have reached that point, I do appreciate that management eventually listened to my concerns and attempted to provide a reasonable resolution. Review for Austin: Austin is very talented when it comes to nails, and I want to give him full credit for the quality of his work. My fingernails always looked great, and I was consistently happy with the results. Unfortunately, I had an experience where I felt he was rude and dismissive toward both my mother and me, which ultimately led me to stop booking with him. While I can't fault his skills as a nail technician, customer service is just as important as the service itself. If professionalism and communication had matched the quality of his work, I would likely still be a client today.

The process overall took 2 hours, which is honestly quick for the design I got. The stylist did a beautiful job, and I have no complaints about her work or behavior. I went on 05/01 and it's 05/26 and my nails are still going strong. That's a remarkable time period for an acrylic set. I initially posted a not-so-great review due to the lack of quoting (after asking explicitly for a quote) and the price of the set ($120 before tip). Overall, I feel this is a decent nail salon. The salon itself is absolutely gorgeous, with plenty of seats for pedicures and stations for manicures. However, I think they should put up a website where it lists the prices on the menu (that I received after asking for) as well as the expectations of the visit. I also think it's strange that some nail technicians in the salon wear gloves and others don't. If you're handling bodily fluids and skin, it's probably a great idea to wear medical gloves and change them often. I think the salon did a great job and has good quality nails - I just believe the overall customer experience could be more transparent.
