    Honestly the place is kinda flithy. The nail tech does not use clean supplies.. she dipped her dip brush in some alcohol bottle then later on squeezed that same alcohol on to my nails to disinfect which does not look great. As far as $35 for a basic fill is good but I don't think I'll come back :(

    Full set by Julie and Pedicure by Tammy

    This place is absolutely incredible! It's the only nail salon I ever visit. I have been coming here for a while and the staff is consistent and always excellent! They are all really patient and nice. Tammy is truly remarkable when it comes to pedicures; she's an expert in making feet incredibly sleek. Julie skillfully completed my full set and was incredibly patient with the design I had in mind! I still highly suggest going here.

    QT Nail Spa does a great job! They have tons of colors to choose from and their prices are very fair! It was 50 bucks for a gel manicure and a spa pedicure! My nails looked great because they really paid attention to make sure they got the whole nail! I hate when other places rush and don't cover the whole nail with gel. I will definitely be back!

    I would love to leave a review for Julie, she was amazingly kind and professional. Thank you for accommodating me with a last minute gel mani, pedi and eyebrow wax, and still paid attention to detail and wonderful work. I appreciate you and looking forward to my next appointment! I highly recommend Julie .

    Went in to get my acrylic nails removed and a manicure. Usually nail salons will trim the nail soak and remove the acrylic. She used a nail tip to rip the nails off. When she couldn't get between the nail she used a nail clipper. Acrylic particles hit my face. After seeing the blood I asked her how much I owed paid and left. I paid $10 for her to rip my nails off. Very disappointed and upset

    Friendly, patience, walk-ins& free design offer.

    7/11/2023 today I went walk-ins to QT place had my baby with me they were So friendly& patience. They also offered free design on big toe as shown in picture. So if your first time going there for pedicure ask if they still do free designs for new clients first visit.

    From foxy nails to QT nail spa! I thought I'd write a review for my absolutely incredible nail lady Julie. I should start off by saying how clean and organized this nail salon is. Some places have you feeling crammed and uncomfortable, but it's very spacious and organized here. Julie has been doing my nails for such a long time that I would follow her anywhere she'll go! She has so much talent in those hands of hers. From the shaping of your nails to the amazing pedicures she does, you can't go wrong. There have been times where Julie can be busy and the other ladies have done my nails and they're all exceptional as well. They're always very friendly and there's always someone walking around giving you water. This nail salon is great and Julie is top notch. Thank you QT for always taking such good care of my nails!

    I desperate need a manicure today. I called the salon and they can see me in 20 minutes. Tam gave me an manicure and she did an excellent job. Khally gave me a beautiful manicure. I am so glad I came to OT Nail Spa today. QT becomes my favorite Nail Spa.

    I just wanna say that this is my first time here and sadly I won't be coming back (unless I find…read moreanother nail tech artist who actually listens to my needs). I only went to this place because I heard good reviews as well as it's the closest to my home. So I walked in having high hopes, and I even brought up a reference picture. After checking in for my appointment for a gel-x fill, I went to go see my nail tech and I went to say hello but she didn't say hello back. Whatever. So then I showed her my reference photo and I want all white. Now I understand if I couldn't see the flowers if it's the same white nail color, which is why she suggested a different color that I didn't even ask. Not even like a white purple/blue color just so we can see the flowers better. Also, I know I should've spoken up more, which I had three times that I want to be a classic white French tip with daisies. But she insisted on using a shade of purple that I didn't even ask for. But not only that, but I feel like she couldn't speak English fluently because half of the time she was speaking to me in full Vietnamese, which I had a hard time communicating. I honestly felt a bit peer pressure to have a nail design that I didn't exactly ask for and that's what I'm very disappointed in. When my nails were done, she then prompted me to go wash my hands, but never told me where it's at or didn't even point where the sink was so I had to ask another employee to find the sink. Now I don't mind the nails design itself if it was done better, even though I have spent $65 on it and honestly during the whole appointment I kind of felt uncomfortable even though I did speak up, but just not enough then I should have, but it also doesn't look like the picture I wanted it. I'm pretty disappointed with my appointment and I will not be coming back unless I have another nail tech who I'm pretty sure will do my nails more nicely design wise. This is why communication is very important during any nail appointment and I thought I have communicated my needs, but I guess it wasn't enough to the point where I was peer pressured to do a nail design that I don't even want.

It's a bit more old-fashioned - instead of folders of colors to choose, you select from their wall of polishes, many of which looked old. They have lots of well-worn towels and mismatched decor, so it looks a little rundown. But the ladies were nice and efficient. I went with my teenage daughter who doesn't prefer cutting her cuticles, which they respected. But then didn't offer any massage or scrubs for her either, which I was surprised by. The lady who did my pedicure offered a really great massage and scrub. Overall, it's a great time if you're looking to save on the experience and lower your expectations compared to other salons. I'm not a fancy nail person and don't use gel polish, so I like it for what I'm looking for. Will be back!

    I had a really disappointing experience at this salon. I arrived at 5:40 PM for a full set of…read moreacrylic nails and did not leave until 8:30 PM, which is an excessive amount of time for such poor results. The technician working on my nails was not focused on her work. She spent most of the appointment talking and joking instead of paying attention, which led to multiple issues. While applying the nails, they kept falling off because they were not being glued properly. I pointed this out several times, but my concerns were dismissed and not taken seriously. When she moved on to the design, the work became even worse. The nails were crooked, uneven, and messy. Eventually, another staff member had to step in and redo everything from scratch. This meant removing all the gel with a drill and starting over, which made the already long appointment even more frustrating. At the same time, I was also getting a pedicure, and that experience was just as bad. The technician did not understand what I was asking for. I repeatedly requested a simple French style, but she kept doing something completely different. I had to ask her two times to redo. It was clear there was a lack of communication. This is not my first time getting acrylics, so I know what to expect. A full set, even with a French design, should not take this long. At other salons, my nails usually last three to four weeks without any issues. Here, the quality was clearly not the same. When it came time to pay, I expressed that I did not feel the service deserved full price given everything that went wrong. Instead of acknowledging the situation, they only offered a 10% discount after I had to ask for it myself. The staff seemed annoyed that I even brought it up, and there was no real apology for the experience. Considering the time, the quality, and the inconvenience, I expected a much more reasonable adjustment. To make matters worse, only two days later, one of my nails has already fallen off with no effort. I got my nails done for an upcoming trip, and now I am leaving with broken nails, which is incredibly frustrating. The place had a lot of potential. They even offer two complimentary drinks, which initially made the experience feel more exciting. However, good perks do not make up for poor service, long wait times, and low-quality work. If the results had been better, I would have come back, but after this experience, I will not be returning. Overall, this is not a place I would trust if you are looking for quality work. I would not recommend this salon.

Lina had a great solution and did an amazing job matching it with an acrylic extension--you can't even tell in the photo. That said, if you're in a similar situation, I'd recommend asking for Gel-X instead of acrylic. The acrylic ended up feeling loose and didn't hold well, so I had to come back before leaving for a trip. To their credit, Sunny Nails squeezed me in the very next day. Another technician quickly assessed the issue, removed the acrylic, and replaced it with Gel-X (a full, strong nail--not just a tip). The result was flawless--she shaped it beautifully, and I was able to enjoy my trip with perfect nails. The only downside was the experience during the fix. The technician seemed frustrated, didn't respond to my thank you, and abruptly turned off the blue light and walked away without acknowledgment. It felt a bit uncomfortable--especially since I had already paid extra for the initial service and had to come back. Overall, they made it right, and I appreciate the quality of the final result--just wish the customer experience during the correction matched it.
