    SO, here we go. I want to preface this by saying this salon seems very popular for their pedicures, as almost everyone who came in after me asked for one. My fiancé and his brothers received pedicures and thoroughly enjoyed them here. Their acrylic nails though, I wouldn't recommend. Me and my fiancé's younger sister walked in with no wait, which was amazing! The seemed to be well staffed which I appreciate. We asked for two acrylic manicures, of course they tried convincing us to get gel, but seemed to listen when we told them no, which I appreciate as well. The man working on my nails started, but didn't push my cuticles back like other salons I've gone to do. Slightly disappointing as I have dry cuticles that i'd like gone. He started working on adding tips to my nails and I proceeded to show him a picture of what I wanted, cool. I left the picture out for him to reference. As he started filing the acrylics down, I asked him to make them more coffin like instead, he told me he's just doing it like the picture I showed him. Okaaay, but that's not what I'm asking for anymore. The way they nails were filed are very uneven and square, which isn't flattering on my hands. (In the picture of the end result, I literally can't stand the way the nails look on my index fingers). He did ask me if I liked them before he added polish. I couldn't really tell the shape and how uneven they were so I said yes, appreciate that he asked though. He did make them thin which is great! Some places make them too thick. For the polish, he switched with a women who seemed to be the manager or owner, she applied the polish every nice and carefully, I appreciate that too. I think the most bothersome thing to me is the price. I payed $40 for a basic acrylic set. That's crazy. I understand that time is money, but I've gotten the exact same thing for $25. I would be happy to pay $40 if my nails were even and straight and what I asked for, but they aren't. I didn't speak up because they provided a service and I didn't want to offend him, I don't like confrontation either. I would go back for a pedicure.

    The website and in the salon says 30 for acrylic fill. I got my acrylics filled and they look nice. The lady did a good job and was thorough, but charged me 45. Unhappy with the price, I did research all around to find a salon with a decent price and then I was up charged for no reason.

    Beautiful nails but not so good design.

    I have been to Pretty Nails 3 times. Each time, I have had different Techs and they were all great. My gel nails stay for 3 weeks, maybe longer if I waited. The only bad thing to say is that they do not design nails. I have wanted a design on my accent finger and each time, they have not been able to do it. Even their best nail designer did not do a great job when asked to design. I hate to say I will be trying somewhere new.

    Thank you Shawn!

    First time going and I only wish I lived closer! Best set of nails I've ever had! My tech Shawn was a perfectionist and took pride in his work. He was also very nice and talkative, putting me right at ease. Prices were fair and I love my nails! Thank you Shawn!

    The best place for nails I've ever been, they are family owned and operated. Whenever I go, I'm greeted warmly and treated royally.

    This place is not clean, the utensils aren't sterilized and the waxer double dipped. Never returning.

What are the odds? I booked right away. I later found out that she had a cancellation. When I arrived I was a little out of my head because I thought I would be later, Molly was absolutely amazing. She essentially calmed me down. Which was awesome. The wax shop is very inviting and quaint, I didn't feel like I was in chain establishment in a sense it felt like home. She was very nice. The room she does her waxing in is spacious but not intimidating. It was very clean and well organized which I loved. She explained everything that she would be doing from beginning to end our conversation was easy and helpful, she help me get through the pain .....FYI I'm a screamer lol! I ended my appt by booking another one because she was just that great. I also felt that her pricing was very reasonable. Overall this a great place to get waxed I wish I'd found it sooner and I look forward to my appt.

As you age you lose hormones as a woman and hair removal services are your best friend unless you want to turn into a man. I went for a Brazilian this past weekend with Tausha and she was friendly and knowledgeable about waxing and aftercare. Waxing is a challenge and unless you get into some serious yoga positions, you can sometimes miss cracks and crevices during the service. I spoke to one of the receptionists who kindly slid me in this evening to correct this. Starsha was so warm, welcoming and a wealth of knowledge on waxing. I felt so comfortable on her table. I definitely did some unique yoga poses this trip. She left no hair behind !!!!!!! I also had an upper lip wax which I was long overdue for. We also talked about brow services and she gave helpful tips. The front desk staff & wax specialists care about their clients and it shows. Nae is a sweetheart and does the scheduling. This is a excellent location and I will continue to come back.

I loved the fact I was happily greeted upon arrival by the receptionist. This instantly made me feel welcome and appreciated. My service provider, Tyler, was really nice and fast! I don't know about you guys but when I'm getting my wax services done I prefer for my waxer to move pretty quickly. It's already painful so there's no need to prolong the process lol The next time I'm in town I'll stop by again. Thank you ladies!
