It was my 1st time going to this place and I will definitely not be going back. I had made an appointment with Ken over the phone and upon arriving for my appointment I was started on my pedicure in which I had on issues with. I had requested to get my nails done by Ken when making my appointment, but instead the same older lady with the glasses did my nails. This was all closer to closing and I would've been just fine returning the next day for a better service, but instead my service was rushed. I kept correcting the lady because she had not applied enough acrylic over my nail. She then said that it was okay because she was going to file everything down. She also didn't apply enough acrylic on the tip of 2 nails and it looked bumpy, so I corrected her again and she gave me the same excuse. She then got to doing the French tip and the design is not even. Upon doing an additional design I was already frustrated and upset and I told her that I didn't like it and to remove it. She removed it and kept insisting in trying to fix and, but at this point I didn't want to pay extra for additional designs on my nail when they already looked terrible. I can tell that the service was rushed and there is an uneven color tone on the French tip. I felt bad in the moment because the lady was trying to be nice to me, but I don't understand why someone would provide a service that they are not good at. I complained enough in person that I got tired of it and paid for the service and left! If you look at the pictures closely, you can see that the shape of my nails arent even, they look bumpy, the sides are messy and the French tip is uneven. Lastly, after the lady removed the glitter design from one hand she placed gel over it and later told me that my nails had glitter. She asked me if it was okay and I said if she can remove it with something and she said no. She then asked me again if it was okay. Not sure why she asked if I had no other option than to say that it was okay and let her move on with what she was doing.
I'm honestly so sad about my nails. I should've known that the salon being empty when I went was the first bad sign that I shouldn't have gone here. I got my nails done last Friday (only 3 days ago) and as you can see in the videos and pictures, my chrome is already coming off. There's also little bumps on my nails. An older lady did my nails and I felt like she didn't know what she was doing. She wasn't even keeping track of the time I cured my nails. I paid $53 and tipped generously still because I felt bad. I've honestly never had a bad nail experience so this was just a bummer. I'll be going to get my nails redone sometime this week, but I will never go back here again and I encourage everyone to do the same ):
Been going to Ken for so many years and I've never been disappointed in my nails. Month after month I can never pick which nails are my favorite because he does an amazing job each time. All I do is show him a picture of what I want and he works he magic and makes my nails look amazing each and every time. I'm consistently getting compliments on every new nail design and I'm always send people to Ken because I want them to enjoy their nails as much as I do. I even got my best friend to start going to him every month also I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they very much deserve it.
Update!!! Had an appointment today at 10:30. I worked til 10, and rushed to get there. When I arrived, Ken wasn't there. I asked a woman when he would be there and she said 15 or 20 minutes, you sit down. I waited 15 minutes. I finally got up and told the woman to tell him that I wouldn't be back. She said, "okay". Ive waited many times for Ken, usually when I had a 9:00 appointment, but I usually just blew it off. Not today! They have no respect for your time, and certainly you'll never receive an apology. I might also mention that I always tipped at least 25%. I won't be back, and will never recommend them.
I read the amazing reviews, saw the photos and booked an appt. I've never had nails gone so horribly wrong. The older lady seemed to have an attitude with me when I pointing out the odd looking shape of the nails (I was very nice with my tone and words, so that she didn't dub me as 'a picky client' to no avail). She'd reply with "We file it" so I trusted the process. I asked for short almond nails. Not round and a little pointy. Went with hard gel overlay instead of acrylic. I noticed the nails looking very concave and again, she said "We file it". She pretty much filed all of the hard gel off. They're very concave. You can see where it's down to the plastic nail tips on the corners of the nails. On my right hand, each nail is a different shape with slanting. The polish looks globbed and my nails are paper thin. I came home, found another place and am leaving soon to have them fix this mess. I paid. I tipped more than 20%. I'm too nice. I just wanted to get out of there. Ugh. If I could leave ZERO stars, I would. Don't go here.
Absolute worse nail experience ever in 30 plus getting my nails done The technician clearly did NOT want to be there. I realize good work is hard to find these days but running my own business I would rather work short staff And be on the floor myself than have someone work for me with the poorest customer service this woman provided Grabbing pulling cutting and causing unnecessary pain was beyond unbelievable. I left without even getting them painted. Enough was Enough. She removed nails and didn't put tips to replace the ones she removed. I paid for the service And spoke to the "so called" manager when I left and left WITHOUT tipping Which is not typical. I'm hopeful with the amount of positive reviews this salon has the other technicians are not like the one I had. And I'm more hopeful No one suffers the way I did if they get This woman
I've come here 3 times since April 2022. First time I came in April was day before my wedding. They were great! The acrylic nails, pedicure, and face waxing was absolutely perfect. I regret not writing down the name of the technician who helped me. I returned a second time in May and the service was okay. I got a fill and pedicure. Pedicure was great but the fill was okay. Had some mistakes. Today, (June 9th), I returned for a an acrylic nail fill, pedicure, and eyebrow wax. The eyebrow wax was perfect and I was very happy with the pedicure. But the fill is substandard. definitely more mistakes than last time. I know I'll be returning at the end of June for another set before I go on vacation, but, I definitely need to ask for names and make specific appointments with technicians because the quality of service is not standard across. If next time doesn't go well, I'll just find another location. Also, mainly posting for others to be aware. This place has potential, but not all technicians have a keen eye for mistakes.
I feel as though I left worse than what I came in with. Today was my first time back in over a year and I went because I knew they almost always have availability. I needed gel removal and a REGULAR manicure. My lady was so rough with cuticles and cleaning out from under my nails. There was no one in the salon and she was still rushing the process. I was scared when she sprayed alcohol on my nails worried that I would have a cut. Luckily I didn't.... Until after she went back and cut more my cuticle ending in me bleeding..... she didn't say sorry or try to fix it, she was just hoping I wouldn't notice. Then was Time to put on the polish, she was prepping for gel when I already said Regular manicure. She acted like she didn't know. Not like we talked and she got carried away. Anyways, I'm more upset with how rough she was with my fingers because that hurt not to mention she butchered my cuticles! I tipped her $2 for the whole service ($25+$2tip) and was annoyed with that. A star for taking me in as a walk in.... I guess..
I've been to a lot of different nail salons and I'm tired of being told no to even the simplest of designs. My best friend recommended Ken to me and he has been the absolute best. He's not a "no" guy, he is the "yes" guy; and every person who wants designed nails should have him in their life. Tell him what you want and he goes out with a bang! Plus their prices are great

I chose the salon because my salon wasn't gonna be open for another hour. Bad choice. I wanted a gold chrome fresh tip. The nail tech technician Cathy said she could do it. I showed her pictures, and she could not. I got there at 9:20 and was not out of her chair until 1156, and this is what I left with. She couldn't do it, the chrome wasn't sticking and you could see black through the chrome. She kept trying to make excuses and the whole experience was awkward. I got on the phone with my other half and was in tears and just told her to please stop at that point because there was no fix to it. Do not go here. At the end after I asked her how much I owed she swung her hands into my face, seeming to apologize, but it was highly weird and awkward. Please don't go here if you're looking for anything on your nails read more

It's my second time come to here to get gel pedicure. Todays nail tech was not a ok. She cut the my side wall of the toe nail. She said "your tip is crack I'm gonna cut" but it was way too much cut, not flowing my actually nail bed. I totally don't understand that way of fix of the nail. I got surgery by ingrown toe nail few years ago because cut the side wall makes ingrown nail. Doctors said "Don't cut the side wall" also I have a nail tech license I went a nail school never this industry said cut the side wall. read more

Ken is the best! I used to get my nails done at his old location, but so happy to have found his new salon. I only get dip done (it usually lasts over 4 weeks for me) & am so happy with my post-COVID results. Clearly I couldn't decide on 1 colors so I went with 5 Pixie is very clean & sanitary, as they have appropriate social distance & disinfect rules in place. Can't wait to come back in a few weeks! read more

I wasn't going to write a review about my experience because finding a new nail salon takes time. However, upon arriving home minutes after getting my manicure I noticed a fairly big smudge that was overlooked. I originally wanted designs on my nails, I showed photos before even getting in the chair and was of course assured that it could be done. I was mistaken and was trying to be convinced to settle for a single design instead. So I changed it all just settled for a solid color and even that was less than satisfactory. I'm pretty upset as this is my set I'll be going on vacation with which was not what I wanted at all. Pretty disappointed as they charged $80 for this and a pedicure. read more

Brand new owner at this location. First off, let's start with the basics: everything is clean & sanitary. The staff are friendly & very knowledgeable. The pricing is clearly displayed by the front door. There is a Seating area ... lots of colors to choose from: for regular manicures, gel & dip... I love my nails & get a ton of compliments on them! They offer manicures, pedicures & eyelash extensions as well. Location is awesome! For all you busy mama's out there- I def thought about bribing my kids to sit through my appointment & treating them to a few hours at the trampoline park nearby! Lol the struggle is real. I recommend calling and making an appointment! Many of the nail techs are in demand & have loyal clientele. Overall great shop - great staff & I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nail shop that consistently offers beautiful nails. read more

I have been going to Ken for over a year now. This is his new location and I would follow him anywhere!! He never disappoints me with the quality of his work. And I appreciate that I can come in with a few pictures of what I want and he works his magic! The salon is clean and sanitary. Everyone is so nice and friendly! They offer a lot of services (I do not know all of them) All the prices are listed by the front door. I do recommend making an appointment but walk ins are welcome. Insta: @dhd_catalog read more
