I started with a pedicure from Theary, who is genuinely one of the sweetest people I've ever met. While we were chatting, she noticed my Gel-X nails had grown out and mentioned they had time to do a fill. I admitted I'm ridiculously picky about my nails and usually don't let just anyone touch them. Without missing a beat, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have the perfect person for you." Enters Ivy. They covered my lap, Ivy started my Gel-X fill while Theary continued my pedicure, and I couldn't believe what was happening. Two services at the same time, zero rushing, and incredible attention to detail. I was in and out in about an hour, which honestly felt like magic. Not only did they both do an amazing job, but they had me laughing the entire time. It felt less like a nail appointment and more like hanging out with friends who also happen to be incredibly talented. I've been getting my nails done for years, and this level of efficiency and customer service is rare. Let's just say my nail salon back home might be getting a few pointers after this experience. If I could wrap this place up, stick it in my pocket, and bring it home with me, I absolutely would. Thank you, Theary and Ivy. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Highly recommend!

Miyako is not the type of nail tech that will throw a ring of nail colors at you and tell you to…read morepick a color as you wait for the client before you to finish up. She's an artist, a designer, and a true innovator. There hasn't been a single design I've shown her (even the most elaborate Pinterest inspo) that she couldn't pull off and she always manages to elevate it beyond what I imagined. I first came to Miyako in search of a nail artist for my wedding. Leading up to the big day, we experimented with a few different styles I had in mind, and she nailed every single one (pun intended). She also did my Barbie-in-Vegas-themed bachelorette nails, which were absolutely stunning. I felt like a bad b**** every time I walked out of her studio. What truly sets Miyako apart is her meticulous attention to detail. The shape, smoothness, and evenness of the nails are always flawless. Even with just a plain color, my nails would look like they were perfect press on designs. You can tell she's a true creative who deeply cares about her craft. I also really appreciated the one-on-one setting--it's just you and her in a peaceful, distraction-free space, which makes the experience feel that much more special. I'm so sad I moved away from RPV and can't see her regularly anymore--but I'll absolutely be making that 2-hour drive for special occasions. She's that good, and honestly, I haven't found anyone else like her!

When I got there, of course I was upsold an additional $30. I have eyelash extensions, so I asked if the daughter could ask the mom if she had something to protect my lashes. They ensured me that my lashes would be fine, as they have several customers that wear lashes. At the end of the appointment, my lashes were a mess. I didn't feel that she "protected" my lashes like what was conveyed to me. They were a mess, and if you wear extensions, you know how expensive they could be. So I wasn't ecstatic about that. The environment in the room was cozy, and the table was warm. The mom bundled me up with blankets and I felt good. There wasn't any calming music, and I just heard the television from the main nail room. It would've been nice to have some soothing music, to cultivate a full relaxing experience. While I ultimately enjoyed the facial, I found parts of the facial experience to be rough. She massaged my shoulders, top part of my chest and facial pressure points. Later, the daughter told me she did acupuncture as well. It was kind of hard and not very relaxing for me. At the end, the daughter said that in order to obtain the full benefits of the facials, she advised me to come at least weekly. In this economy, I can't afford to come weekly or even biweekly. I may or may not revisit.

I saw that she specialized in the kind of nails that I love. As I'm taking a break from doing my nails myself (it's been 20 years lol) , it's been nice going to her! She was fully booked at that time and she was still able to squeeze me in the next week. She takes her time, the quality is amazing, and she has a sweet personality! I showed her my inspo pic and she did more than copy and paste, she made it her own! I went back 2 weeks later for a fill but turns out I didn't even need it. Her quality is so good and the nails last so long (I'm currently on week 3 of my second set from her and I normally only do my nails every 2 weeks) so this time I'll be going back in maybe at my 5 week mark. I am a mom and I'm always busy. With that being said, I have hit my nails more than once and there is no lifting, no damage, no chipping, splitting or anything.
