I used to work at a nail salon so my expectation is pretty high. This place is pretty clean inside with nice lighting. They have a wide selection of colors of nail polishes to chose from. I decided it was time for a manicure and pedicure because my hands are pretty rough from my painting class and constantly washing my hands while waitressing. My feet was in a pretty gross condition because I stand on my feet for a long period of time. The person who did my nails were male at sits on the 4th table. He paid close attention to nipping my cuticles but sometimes it hurts but there wasn't any blood. Now to make sure service was worth it, it's the application of the nail polish. I don't like seeing streaks in my nails and I chose to go with a pale pastel blue by essie. He applied it pretty evenly so I don't have much complain on that field. Now for my pedicure he has to get rid of some pretty rough and hard skin on the bottom of my foot. For my foot I decided on a hot pink with an orange undertone. Finally, they don't speak to the customers. They speak amongst themselves in their native language soooo to entertain myself, I'm writing this review.

i have been using maria for too many years to count, she is the BEST and i followed her from her…read moreprevious salon! their prices are reasonable and it is nice and clean too! if you haven't been here yet, definitely give them a try, you will not be disappointed and i would bet you go back! you're welcome in advance!

DO NOT RECOMMEND JULIE IS HORRIBLE AND A BULLY!!!!! I came here to get my nails done before I went…read moreon a trip in Cali and the lady Julie was very rough with my nails. I showed her a picture of coffin nails with a pink tip on them and she decides to just ignore what I show her and keep my nails almond when I specifically told her I wanted the new shape. I did not want to ask her to reshape them, considering she was already being passive aggressive towards me when I asked her if she could do the nails, I showed her in the picture it felt like she didn't want to even do them at all. Her attitude was disgusting and she'll make you feel like you're in the wrong for asking for what you want. She finished doing my nails and I left somewhat happy because I thought they were pretty enough but when I showed up to work, everyone told me to go back and get them redone because I couldn't see the scuff mark she left on my tips and my nails were already scratched up, forming these weird bubbles at the top. So I came back the next day to ask her to just redo them and to shape them how I wanted her to shape the mind you she charged me $50 for short almond nails with a white tip on them and I even tipped $10 for them. She proceeded to yell at me saying none of her customers ever came back to her, asking her to redo nails and that I'm the first one as she was just so out of proportion acting crazy yelling at me in front of others and even when I was the last one in the shop basically telling me that there's nothing wrong with clearly there was even the first lady when I walked in there she saw there was something wrong with my nails and called her over. Even though Julie had no clients from 5 to 7 PM. She had an attitude with me when she should be grateful. I even came to see someone so terrible as a nail artist if that's what she wants to call herself. The entire time when she was doing my nails, she was digging into my skin. She even left me on my skin. She was even filing my nails so hard and this was because she was angry and she didn't treat me that way yesterday. It hurt to the point where I wanted to cry also the entire time she was speaking to the other woman who has some sort of skin problem. I don't know her name, but I'm gonna call her out because she was sitting there half the time that I was getting my nails done and sure they were talking about me. At the end, she has the audacity to ask me to give her five more dollars because she made my nails shorter. AFTER SHE ASKED ME THIS HER FRIEND STARTED LAUGHING ON SOME BULLY BEHAVIOR.! I should've just not gave her the five dollars and asked her to take it out of her tip from them day before because she was nowhere near deserving of even getting a tip. IT TOOK HER CLOSE TO AN HOUR TO JUST DO FRENCH TIPS SHE CANNOT DO FRENCH TIPS JUST ADMIT THAT YOU CANT AND DONT REDO THEM FIVE TIMES OVER ON A SINGLE NAIL!!! Do not go to Julie if you want someone who is half blind to do your nails I feel bad for those who are her clients. They are probably older age and don't even notice the mistake she makes and she makes everything such a pain to just fix. If you can't be criticized, honestly, you shouldn't even be working in a nail salon. You should be somewhere practicing how to do nails because I have never been more disgusted with somebody who can't do nails and complains when someone comes back to get the nails redone because you've never learned to properly do nails. Julie do better and do us all a favor and get off that chair and go back to nail school. One more thing to add, she had the audacity to tell me that my nails were messed up already before I even came there which defeats the purpose of me even coming to you to fix my nails because if you claim you're so good at what you did on my nails The day before then why couldn't you even fix what I brought you? You know you're in the wrong Julie do not go to her if you want your nails to look like somebody did them while blindfolded And to torture your nails even more by digging into your skin just because she's mad. Get some new glasses, Julie and maybe be considering renewing your license being a nail tech.

At first I wanted to give this place 5 stars because the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is…read morenice, but the quality of the nails just isn't acceptable. I paid $55 for gel manicure and gel pedicure. And tipped $8 (not because I liked the nails, because my nail lady was nice). For one, it seemed like she was in such a rush, that she drew blood cutting a few of my nails, and pushed the cuticles wayyyy too far back. I usually get tips, but decided not to risk it trying a new place. Thank god I didn't. Almost everyone of my nails isn't painted all the way, with corners and sides bare. My toenails weren't properly treated for ingrowns/dried cuticles or even cleaned. (sorry for my gross toe pics lol) I honestly won't be going back. $55 wasted because they didn't start off looking good and they're starting to chip already! I got them done two days ago.

So I've given this place about four attempts to do the most basic Manicure. And the nails tec are…read morerude and easy upset when you express not liking how your nails look. The owner always has to come over, and once that happens, the Tec gives you nothing but attitude. They walk away from their workstation. So unprofessional!!! The owner would have to step in to fix my nail. TODAY was my boiling point . But it's crazy because if I'm paying for a service and a look, do it the right way. Let me be clear the owner Nancy is nice and would accommodate you. But when you have to always deal with their present nail tec, it makes the experience unenjoyable. I would rather pay an extra $20 and deal with professionals and nail Tec that know how to do nails. My nails look they are about to take off like an airplane.
