    Before

    I wanted a manicure yesterday but didn't want to drive very far so I gave the closest salon to me a chance... and WOOWWW!!! I always go for a plain manicure, clear polish, as I like the natural look on my nails. Ladies were very very sweet and professional and I asked if I could get "clear gel" to keep my nails sturdy but not be able to tell I'm wearing gel. She even tested out what it would look like on her own nail before I agreed! It was $39 for my manicure and "clear gel" and it is so so beautiful!! I will always be coming back here. Photos in the reference are my before and after!

    Didn't like my acrylic names they did not turn out how I hoped. The colors are uneven and not like reference

    Gel Nails Done by Flower :)

    Thrilled I made an appointment here and could be seen day of! I got gel nails & a regular pedicure and loved how they turned out! - They said Mon - Wed are there most available days (packed on the weekends) - Flower (28 + years experience) spent serious TIME cleaning up my cuticles & I was very impressed - attention to detail was a 12/10 and she spoke great English! Overall a very clean space with covid friendly plastic dividers! Highly recommend - @neeks93 on insta

    My cousin and I came here on a random rainy Tuesday while she was in town. There were so many gel polish colors and they were very patient with us while we picked colors (and a glitter topper for my cousin). I couldn't believe how fast and neat they were able to put polish on us, and they cleaned up our cuticles SO well. I was super impressed! This is also the most natural looking gel mani I've ever had; I feel like most gel manis have the thicker "gel look", which is fine, but the coats here are thin and I like that it looks really natural and subtle. I usually don't get my nails done, but I'll definitely come here again to treat myself or before special occasions!

    Love my nails! Called yesterday and the lady was able to get me in right away. The salon was clean. She took my temp and sanitized my hands. When I was done she sanitized her work station. I will be returning.

    I am so happy that I stumbled upon this little shop that is hidden in a strip mall. Very clean and the ladies are very courteous. Hoa did a great job on my manicure. Very professional and efficient. I think I found my forever salon! So happy with my services here.

    My shellac manicure started chipping and peeling after only a few days, and I had to get my nails redone after 1 week at another location. My pedicure was also no good--pictures attached of how poorly the polish was applied. Pedicure water was also cold and I had to ask them to warm it up. Giving two stars because I appreciate that they did my nails and toes at the same time, which saved me time. Additionally, the woman who did my manicure was very sweet and gave a great arm massage. Staff was super nice, just not happy with the quality of the manicure and pedicure. I won't be going back.

    This is what it all looks like- gel manicure

    I went to Talent Nails 4 days ago and did regular pedicure and gel manicure. However, a few hours after I left the place, one of my gel nails, already started peeling off. I took a picture as I knew I would go back to fix it. By the next morning a few other nails also peeled off. I went back as soon as I could on Sunday and asked them to fix it. I communicated that I think this nail polish might be old or bad in hopes she would consider a different one. She stated: "Your nail pealed off because you have kids". I explained that I did not do any dishes and I did not take a shower since the nails were done so that could not be the reason. She fixed it in a rush and I could tell that it wasn't a really good job. By the next day, my nails started peeling off again. Right now I am on day two since she fixed it and 6/10 nails are pealing off. Also my cuticles were not done either. The only reason I am giving the place 2 stars is because my pedicure was done well. This is disappointing because it was my birthday, and I have some other upcoming celebrations and now my nails look this horribly. Altogether the price was probably around $70 and I would expect good results for that money. When I get gel nails, I expect them to last at least 10 days. This is very disappointing.

    Bad manicure design.

    I guess it was alright. It was kinda expensive for mani pedi. They almost let me walk out without painting my toes and my mani... the picture speaks for itself. They rushed me even though no one was there. Only come here if you're desperate.

    After quarantine I was so excited for a mani so I paid $80 for a pedi &dip nails. I told the girl to do white dip &use nail polish to add glitter. I've done this before and it was so beautiful I wanted to recreate it. I even showed her a pic. "No. They'll be bulky". She used powder for both and made them so bulky and oddly shaped she spent most of the time filing them thin. She must've made them SO thin (still maintaining the weird bump where the glitter is) that now, a few days later this is the result. A ruined manicure. Invest your $ in a quality place.

    My hands have never felt prettier!

    My friend and I got our nails done for my 21st birthday! We decided to get square-shaped acrylics -this was my first experience getting acrylics-. We did not have an appointment, but as soon as we stepped foot in the nail salon we were welcomed and given such amazing treatment. The man who did our nails was very friendly and made conversation the entire time. There were no problems or mistakes during our time. We both fell in love with our nails as soon as they were done! Even a week later they are still in such great condition! Thank you so much Talent Nails, we will be back!

I was a walk in and was helped promptly on a Wednesday afternoon. I asked for the Euro mani and pedi, regular polish (no gel, etc). I was offered the nail boards for colors, but asked if I could choose an OPI from the wall, and that was fine. Not sure why the staff offers the nail boards with an unknown polish company. I didn't take forever to choose a color, but they have lots! It's been awhile since I've had my nails done, so this was a special date for myself. Everything was great! I had 2 techs and at the end of the service I paid for my total with credit and two separate tips via Venmo, as I didn't have cash on hand, however, I prefer Venmo because I can calculate the tip with exact payment.

Nail tech asked my daughter to pay first before receiving any services. Wish I had read the previous reviews about this place being racist towards colored individuals. We own homes in the Lake Murray and San Carlos communities, will not stand for this kind of behavior. I will definitely reach out to EEOC. Don't recommend this place at all.

For someone who has struggled with being a life-long nail biter, it's really important to me to make sure everything feels smooth so I am less likely to pick at my nails or try to "fix" them myself. It is so important for my self esteem that hands look nice. That being said, she never has scolded me or lectured me about my nails when I come in for a fill or fix. She simply leaves me feeling refreshed because my hands look good! She's very fast also (fill in less than 45 mins)! Keep in mind, she books up quickly. ***I've NEVER had any infections from going to this salon, so I'm not sure what other reviews are talking about. In fact, she's very knowledgeable. She has refused to do things requested that she felt would jeopardize the health of my nails, offering alternative healthy solutions.
