I found Dara's Nail Studio on Instagram, and to my surprise, we're both Thai! From the moment I…read morewalked in, I felt so comfortable. Her studio is absolutely adorable--private, cozy, and such a relaxing space to unwind. Dara is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and just an all-around sweetheart. If you're into all things astrology, spirituality, or a little "woo-woo," you'll feel right at home. Every appointment feels less like getting your nails done and more like spending time with one of your best friends who just happens to be amazing at nails. The conversation flows so naturally that the time flies by. And of course, the nails are beautiful every single time. She takes her time, pays attention to every detail, and genuinely cares about her work. I always leave so happy with my nails and can't wait for my next appointment. If you're looking for a talented nail artist with the best energy and a cute, private studio, I can't recommend Dara enough. Come for the nails, stay for the good vibes!

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!

Thankful for that bc nothing turns me off more when I get my nails done and the tech just nickel and dime you for anything they can to add to my gel manicure. The guy was super fast and used an airbrush machine to do mauve french tip on my pink nail colors. The location is in a small strip mall with lots of nail stations and spa chairs. Nothing fancy inside but it is clean.

It wasn't crowded, so the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing.

Definitely an option if you need a late-weekend service.

I used to get pedicures wherever it was convenient for me, but now I only want to come to OMG to see Judy because she really is sooooooo much better than anyone else. I always leave so happy and grateful! I recommend her highly. OMG is also such a cute salon: the chairs are really cute and comfy, they serve drinks, the polishes available are super cute, and it's really easy to make appointments online (and sometimes I can make them the day of or the night before, which is so helpful). I love coming here!

I wanted her to take creative freedom to do what she thought was good for my nails in the budget I had and I love the results. It was easy to setup an appointment by text. I love the shape of my nails! I got the gel manicure ($65) and 4 of my nails have glittery/sparkle flecks that were individually added. There were so many sparkles and glitter options. Mine has an oyster shell appearance and is really fun to look at. The process took 45 minutes but passed so quickly because there was a TV for me to watch Netflix. I ended The bad: It's $8 per nail for an embellishment so it can get pretty pricey. It makes sense with how much meticulous care goes into each nail and how each fleck of gold and glitter was placed. I probably cant get these nails too often due to cost but it was definitely worth pampering myself with some self-care for a special occasion! The interesting: I ended up watching Love is Blind's reunion even though I didn't see any episode from that season. This is the 1st nail salon I've been to with individual private rooms. The room had a side chair as well if you bring someone with you.

Honestly, I really wanted to like this place and have given it multiple chances, but unfortunately…read morethe service has been very inconsistent. It seems like the experience you get depends on who you are or who walks through the door. For example, some customers are offered water while others aren't, and when it comes to fixing a nail, one person might be told "come back in an hour," while someone else is told "of course, we'll take care of it." I appreciate businesses that treat all customers equally, and sadly that hasn't been my experience here. The inside decor is beautiful and the location is super convenient, which makes it even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the way the salon is run really takes away from what could otherwise be a great spot. I'll be looking for a new nail salon moving forward.
