Bonus: They're offering 20% off a mani and pedi Monday through Thursday for the next week, which makes it the perfect time to treat yourself (or grab a friend and go together!) My pedicure was perfect, my gel manicure had a couple of spots that were a little over painted along my nail beds.

I was looking for a last minute spot to go for a pedicure. I saw this spot was open & decided to…read moregive it a shot. I was told there was a space, asked to sit to wait, then waited over an hour. For almost an hour no one attended to me. Close to the hour, I was told it'll be just five more minutes several times, however, by that time I decided to leave. I was very patient & quite disappointed. If they didn't have time for me, they needed to have told me. To just wait around for nothing, it's not like I had all the time in the world. I felt as though this experience was so awful & unprofessional, that unfortunately I will not be returning.

I had an appointment scheduled for 12:30 and eventually gave up and left at 1:20. I wasn't even…read moreseated until 20 minutes after my appointment time, and once they finally started, everything felt rushed. They were trying to juggle my appointment and another girl's at the same time, and they actually shut the water off before the tub was even filled. My feet weren't even covered, and the water was cold. While I was waiting, another customer was complaining because her feet had been cut badly enough to bleed. They only gave her a discount after she practically had to beg for one. She also pointed out that the pricing online didn't match the pricing in-store, which they gave her a hard time about correcting. After checking myself, she was absolutely right. The service I wanted was listed online for much cheaper, and I would've ended up paying $10 more in-store if I had stayed. Overall, completely unprofessional, disorganized, and not worth the time or money. Definitely do not waste your time here like I did.

Ogi working her magic!

I enjoy going in the morning because it's quieter and it's nice to have your nails done right before work. I'm actually planning on walking in today or tomorrow for a gel removal on hands and mint pedicure. I'd say the mint pedicure is probably best for its price and going during happy hour it's also discounted. The salon is professional.

Overall: not a terrible experience, but I am not sure if I would return. The staff is friendly, and…read moreI made an appointment online and got seated right away. That's always a plus! But, the value overall is not there. When I walked in, the first woman who approached me told me she would be doing my toes and hands for both of my services. I barely got seated in the spa chair and a walk-in called and the nail tech then told me that she was going to pass me off to somebody else while she handled the walk-in. To be honest, you shouldn't tell me you're prioritizing another client over me, especially when that client isn't even present. The lady that she passed me off to do my toes was very friendly, and the pedicure itself wasn't bad but the paint job wasn't great. I honestly couldn't tell until I got home just how untidy my toe paint was. Even when we started the appointment, she slightly burned my skin while removing my old gel polish from my toes. Therefore, my toe stung through my entire appointment. When it was time to finish my manicure/gel ex set on my hands, I had to repeat myself three times to tell them I wanted French tip. And when you tell nail technicians that you want a short nail, somehow that is really hard to comprehend. I also blame this on the fact that this is now the third nail technician I'm dealing with so it just felt like everything got lost in translation and I really feel like three people totaled my nails and there's no cohesiveness to the final look. My nails aren't terrible and they will do and I'm not a picky person at all. But I am hesitant to come back. I think that there is great potential here and I still think it's a good salon, but maybe just not the one for me.

But after three visits with recurring quality issues and frustrating customer service, I can't recommend it. Each visit left me with nail problems requiring fixes. When I reached out, responses took two days at a time, and I was ultimately asked to pay for a correction that was clearly a workmanship issue on their end (after paying $110 for my builder gel manicure service). Pricing has also become a sticking point. Keen is now among the most expensive in the area, and the structure feels unnecessarily layered: builder gel is a separate charge with no color included, gel color selection costs extra on top, and removal is billed even when you're booking a new service in the same visit. These aren't premium add-ons -- they're things most high end salons simply include. High technician turnover makes it hard to build consistency with anyone, too. The concept is appealing, but the execution isn't matching it. Hoping they recalibrate.

An Unmatched Experience at The Executive Nail Suite - 5 Years of Excellence! I've had the pleasure of being a loyal client of My Le Nguyen at The Executive Nail Suite for the past five years, and I honestly can't say enough about how phenomenal she is as both a professional and a person.

She stays ahead of trends but also takes the time to listen to my preferences and offers tailored recommendations that suit my personal style. Whether I'm looking for something simple and elegant or bold and creative, My Le delivers perfection every time. One of the things I appreciate most about My Le is her dedication to health and safety.

Her expertise goes beyond just nail art; she's truly knowledgeable about nail health and always takes the time to ensure my nails remain strong and healthy, even when I'm opting for the most intricate designs. The Executive Nail Suite is more than just a nail salon--it's a space that reflects My Le's commitment to excellence. She's a master at her craft, but beyond that, she's a genuinely kind and attentive person who always goes above and beyond to make each visit special. The atmosphere is always filled with positive energy, and My Le's warm personality makes every appointment feel like a personal treat. I've never once left feeling anything less than 100% satisfied.

I brought a Groupon in hopes of getting a good pedicure, but what I received was far more than expected. Le was very welcoming when I arrived and as an introvert I was very happy to see that it's a private salon and it's just you and Le in the suite during your appointment time. And I received one do the best pedicure and foot massage I've ever had. I will definitely be back. read more
