The is available street parking or 2 hr retail parking spaces. There is an elevator or stairs to get to the second level, so it is accessible. The salon is clean and bright. There are three hair stations, one nail station and two pedicure bath chairs, in addition to some retail. There is a friendly upbeat vibe in the salon and it is quite busy for being such a small space. Noemi is amazing. She is friendly, professional, warm, knowledgeable, and uses active listening skills to ensure that each client gets exactly what they are requesting. She made me feel so welcome and pampered. We began with a conversation about my nail so she could learn and troubleshoot and I was offered hot tea and a warm neck wrap that was heavenly. The pedicure was beyond thorough and my feet are baby smooth due to her attention and the cutting edge urea products she uses. Not only will I be back, I purchased a gift certificate for my daughter's teacher as a class gift for her upcoming birthday and will recommend Noemi to my mom as well. And to pretty much anyone who asks! Thank you Noemi for providing such excellent communication and service and for making me feel so luxurious.

She gives you her full attention, is incredibly sweet, always greets you with a hug, and gets just as excited about your nail ideas as you do. Somehow, she always manages to make them even better than I imagined. The quality of her work is unmatched. She uses great products and genuinely cares about every set she creates. Most importantly, her nails LAST. I recently went away for five weeks, and my set looked amazing the entire time. For the first time ever, I wasn't getting my nails redone because they chipped or lifted--I was getting them redone because I'd completely grown them out. I was still getting compliments on them at the five-week mark, and people couldn't believe how long I'd had them. If you're looking for beautiful, long-lasting nails and an amazing experience, Hannah is your girl.

I'm a cancer survivor and because of this, I have limitations with manicures that I typically have to explain over and over (and over) at every nail salon I visit. And I don't mind. I don't expect people to know all the ins and outs of living with cancer. But... Hannah has lots of clients who deal with this already... and I didn't have to repeat a thing. It was INCREDIBLE. The second you walk into her space, it's impossible not to smile. It's colorful, welcoming, and full of happy energy... and then she works her magic! A manicure with Hannah isn't just an appointment... it's an experience. She does such a beautiful job! My nails last forever and are gorgeous! I won't ever go anywhere else.

One reason I stopped getting pedicures regularly was because I hadn't found a reputable salon or nail technician I fully trusted until now.

Her studio is also impeccably clean and designed with so much attention to detail and little Delights like cute water bottles and chocolates...and she is incredibly personable and sweet.

The…read moreluminary manicure is supposed to last longer so I thought this was a great option even though it's more expensive than a traditional manicure or gel. First off the luminary manicure has very limited colors, all beige, skin color and very light pink. I was concerned my natural nails would show but Zoe said they would t (they do from my perspective) but that was ok. In reading the info it said the luminary gel was a soak off option so it didn't damage your nails, not so. I am adverse to the drill file and that was used for the cuticle and top of the nail and when I get them redone that is how they "fill" the luminary gel just to let people know so they are not thinking there is no drilling. Both those thing were not the problem though. She asked if I wanted all my nails even up to my broken nail I said no they were even up to my broken nail, she basically said they will grow out by the time I need a fill. Irregardless that's not what I wanted. That's not the real problem either, it was frustrating but not the issue. As I was walking out, I noticed the underside of my nails were filthy. I have never paid $70 for a manicure and had the underside of my nails not be cleaned. I was picking the attached that was after I picked the dirt out from under my nails. there were areas of cut cut. There were several that were not straight or filed properly. You can see the attached pictures but there's areas next to my cuticle. They don't look good for manicure. It should've looked much better than it did. I could have had this caliber of service at my local nail studio in the strip mall. This was suppose to be a high end manicure and that was not the experience I had.
