    What she did
    Chu D.

    Had a long day at work Christmas Eve and wanted to spoil myself. I usually do my own nails but haven't had the time lately. I called ahead, went in and showed the lady a picture of what I wanted and she said she could do it and gave me a price and I was okay with it hoping that she knows what she's doing. Long story short, looked nothing like what I asked for and she asked mid if I wanted the pearls like my photo and I said yes, and she said $10 more. If I show you a picture and asked for exactly that and you give me a price already, shouldn't it be that? Anyways, I was fine with it but it was starting to look nothing like what I asked for and she kept trying to say that's how it looks and how it's supposed to be. She's an elder lady so I didn't want to be rude, but I just asked her to please take it off because it looks nothing like the photo. She said $10 more ... I said I don't want it anymore, please just take it off. There was lumps of pink nail color near my cuticle. Then she said "okay I take off and just put 1 color on" and I was the only one at the store + there was another lady and she starts talking in her language and the lady goes to lock the door. I understand if I was being aggressive but the whole time, I was being very nice. She starts taking the color off and her drill kept going on my skin and my body jumped from being startled and she said "honey I'm not cutting your skin, I'm just taking the color off". My eyes were getting teary at this point. I told her no color and left paying $20 less than what was the original price for what I asked for. She said it would be $60, I gave her a $10 tip and it seemed she herself was surprised I tipped because she came after me and said I paid $70, I told her keep it, your tip. Left crying on Christmas Eve. If a customer asks if you know how to do it and you don't, just please say no and show some designs you're capable of doing.

My mani and pedi got a regular one was $140 all together because I chose to have 2 nails painted at a 1 level decoration that was $15. Which was beyond overpriced. I lib had seen the nail example of a level 1 decoration I would have never gotten it. The level 1 decoration for 2 nails was just a touch of glitter on top. That was ridiculous. I would have never paid $15 for a level design 1 that I could have done so easily by myself, it's super problematic that they charged that much. Also the woman at the desk was a Kurt and not super friendly. The computer was having problems charging my card, so she had to manually put it in. And that was fine but she had asked me if I wanted to leave gratuity after I told her no, since I had never been to the place before, I wanted to know if it was worth a tip. She then asked me again to tip after I told her no. No one is entitled to a tip unless they've earned it. I had a problem with her but my manicurist and pedicurist people were very nice. My manicurist Nguyen does a really great massage. Highly recommend her. They were polite and wanted to do a good job. I liked them. I do wish around my nails was more cleaned up, but maybe it's just my super dry skin. I do like that they offer drinks, like peach Prosecco. That was great and helped me forget the ridiculous overpricing. I understand they give benefits to their staff but like $15 for a level 1 decoration for only 2 nails is laughable. For a stroke of glitter on top???? Or we serious right now??? I'd never come here again unless I have a boyfriend or partner who is willing to pay for it for me. I like the woman at the front desk there is annoying. I'd go somewhere else more affordable. Also important note is that they had NO DRYER for your nails. She had to bring over a mini fan that was useless. It already made a chip and bubble in my nails. Not worth it... come here if you have someone else pay for it, and to support the women working there who do your nails but I wouldn't come here to pay for it myself.

    I have been getting my nails done every two weeks for almost three years, and I still feel lucky…read morethat I found Trinh on my very first try after moving to the area. Her work is consistently amazing. I love fun, creative nails and usually come in with inspiration photos. Every single time, Trinh delivers!! My nails always turn out better than I imagined. Sanitation is a big deal to me. I had a hard time finding a salon in my last neighborhood that followed proper sanitary procedures, and this place was such a relief. They clearly take sanitation seriously, and I always feel comfortable coming here. I have also had great pedicure experiences, and the barber and hair side of the salon is impressive to watch. Fast, precise, and everyone leaves looking great. Writing this review feels risky because I want to keep my appointments, but this salon deserves the love!! If you want beautiful nails and a place that does things right, this is it!!!

That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit.

I…read moretreated myself to a manicure with extensions and nail art, and my mom to a pedicure with callus treatment and paraffin wax treatment. Both of us had wonderful times! Amy was my nail technician and when I asked her for a very complicated nail art for my birthday she took on the challenge and absolutely went the extra mile for me, and she has my gratitude!! She checked in with how I was liking everything at each step, helped me pick out colors from their collection, and her hands were steady and perfectly executed the patterns I wanted. I cannot thank her enough - I took more time and focus than normal and she treated me so well. Each design made me smile so much and I am so glad I came up here from Oakland. My mom loved the luxurious experience and the private room for her pedicure and said the wax is a real treat, she will be choosing it again the next time she gets a pedicure. I was recommended the Nail Suite by a friend of mine who got her engagement photo nails done here. She was right to recommend!

I don't like getting fake tips anymore or gel x just because due to the way my nails bend, I always end up hitting them on something and hurting my finger, or they start to come off and become a total nuisance. To all you ladies with beautiful nail beds, I envy you! Anyways, she was able to optimize the shape of my nails for their length so that they are comfortable and cute. And the gel is on there securely. See photos. Definitely recommend this nail salon. It's also very clean, and the employees are great. Thanks!

I requested for a French gel tip when the nail tech (I don't have her name) suggested, "take off your bracelet for a massage" It was a huge and costly mistake but at the time I assumed she was going to give a massage where my bracelet would get in the way. I found out later, taking it off was absolutely unnecessary. Instead, I received a short 1 minute lotion rub - which is absolutely fine but there was NO reason for the nail tech to ask me to remove it in the first place. Either way, I'm kicking myself in the butt for taking it off and losing out on my anniversary diamond tennis bracelet worth thousands. Let's just say, after my nails were done I didn't clasp the hook on properly and the bracelet dropped at the salon while I was paying/handing out tips for two nail techs for the mani and pedi. I called two days straight after, and they said it wasn't there. Tip for owner: unless absolutely necessary - your employees should not request for bracelets/jewelry to be taken off. What a huge disappointment. I guess the nail tech got exactly what she wanted out of this. Here is my bracelet:
