Parked on the street (no meters-yay!) but once inside realized there's also parking in the back so parking shouldn't be a struggle for future appts. I took advice of others & called ahead to make an appt. It was $50 for the whole set of acrylics & when asked how much additional for nail art I was informed the cost is a flat fee; ANY art I wanted would be included.Tranie herself did my nails & she was friendly, fun & patient while I went searching for Christmas designs. I'm SO happy with how they turned out! Asking how much fills are, I was told $40 (which to my cheaper side seemed highbut rationalizing they will do any art on any, or all of your nails, is super reasonable.) I will be back!

Both my daughter and I got pedicures and my daughter also got a manicure, no gel (my daughter is 10). They said they couldn't do a design on her nails cause she wasn't getting gel, they could only use stickers? My pedicure was mediocre, I've never had a tech immediately go in with an electric file. I guess she assumed I had gel on my toenails? I paid for the pamper me pedi, but it felt very basic. The pedicure itself was sloppy. My daughter's pedicure was good. However her manicure chipped in a day. I get that regular polish chips much more quickly than gel, but if they only want to work with gel polish, then they shouldn't offer regular polish. I was disappointed in the end. It felt like we were being penalized for not getting gel. Even though we had an appointment, I felt like we were in the way. I'm so sad, I really thought I had found my nail shop.

My mom and I recently visited Tammy Nails and Spa and we couldn't be happier with our experience and results. My nails (done by Lina) and my mom's pedicure (done by Tammy) turned out great and we will definitely be returning for future appointments. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The salon itself is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, creating a relaxing atmosphere. They have a wide variety of polish colors/acrylic powders to choose from and offer a variety of nail services. I was especially impressed by my talented nail technician Lina who took her time to ensure my nails were perfect. She really listened to what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations! Plus, the comfy chairs and great music made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If anyone is looking for a top-notch nail salon, I highly recommend Tammy Nails and Spa. They deserve a solid 10/10! read more

I recently treated myself to a Volcano Pedicure and it was honestly one of the best pedicures I've ever had! From the moment I sat down, the experience felt luxurious and relaxing. The volcano fizz soak smelled incredible and made my feet feel so soft right away. The technician was very attentive, gentle, and took their time shaping my nails, removing calluses, and giving an amazing massage. The hot towels and moisturizing steps were my favorite part it felt like a full spa treatment, not just a regular pedicure. My feet looked and felt brand new when I left! The salon was clean, professional, and had a really calming atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back for another Volcano Pedicure and highly recommend it to anyone looking to pamper themselves. Totally worth it! read more
