    The service was great, I got my toes and fingers done for 160, they were very thorough with how the prepped and painted my nails. Only thing I would say is I gave them a design and I guess they couldn't do one of the designs on one nail and they decided to just change the design completely instead of telling me or asking me what I wanted or if I could choose another design, which I would have been happy to do. If you can't do something just let me know and I'll change it, but other than that my experience was great. They have beverage choices and affordable nail prices! Very cute atmosphere and staffing.

    they're small place but you get treated right away, usually wait time can be 5-10 varying on the day. i had my nails done twice here by Matt and he's incredible . i always do full set of short nails and the cost is $60 minimum which is affordable! i recommend this place if you're looking for something plain, simple or intermediate designs. 9/10 for the place, environment and quality

    Brandon always does a phenomenal job! Exactly what I ask for and in a timely manner. I love that they open earlier than most places.

    Basic pedicure with Lisa. Nails are not quite even, but otherwise a nice pedicure.  Lovely conversation included.

    Was able to be seated right away on a Saturday afternoon. Lisa did a nice basic pedicure, although my toenails are not exactly even. Michael then did the dip on my fingernails. In my experience, this was not the best dip. He used the rough bit on the dremel tool instead of the fine one that othet salons usually use. He also only dipped in the color 2.75 time (one full color dip, one 3/4 of the nail, then another full dip) where othet salons typically do 3-4 full. The shape is what I asked for, extra rounded square, but there was no thin filing done under the nail so I am still picking out bits that were stuck to my skin (my nails were really short). Also, a day later I am noticing not a very tapered filing on the sides either. This place is great for a thirty buck basic pedicure. Make an appointment though - even though I was able to sit down right away, several walkins after me had to wait as the clients kept flowing in.

    this is my go-to place for nails because they always do a phenomenal job and have amazing customer service! brandon always does amazing full sets for me with beautiful detail! sonny provides great pedicures and always does a perfect french tip! ask for brandon for hands and sonny for feet:)

    Gel pedicure job

    WORST EXPERIENCE AT A NAIL SALON EVER! I went in as a new customer and got a gel pedicure. When I left I noticed the polish job wasn't good and there was many air bubbles and bumps in the polish, but I was going to just leave it alone and not go through the hassle of coming back in until a day later the gel polish cracked. I paid extra for gel for it to last! So I came back in and asked only for the big toe to be redone. The manager looked at my toes and saw for himself the horrible job that was done and offered to re paint all of the toes because of the awful paint job. To fix the crack, he put acrylic only on one big toe. Now my big toes looked uneven because one had acrylic and one did not! I asked him to put it on both to even then out and he said he'd charge me! So I told him to just do acrylic on the one big toe. Then the next day after I left the gel polish cracked AGAIN on the big toe without the acrylic. I came in a second time to have the big toe with the cracked gel fixed and the manager started arguing with me! An employee already begun to take off the cracked gel polish and was going to put the acrylic on my big toe but told me AFTER she already removed the gel polish that she would have to charge me to fix it! Then I said it's ok just do it without the acrylic and the manage started yelling at me and told me to "get out"!! The manager is a man and he is RUDE and provides awful customer service! The sign on their door that says "we will happily fix any issues with gel services" is a LIE! Never come to this nail salon. This is how they let me walk out! With my toes looking like this!

    I had a great experience with Brandon! He's very particular on his work and I really appreciate his attention to detail. I'll definitely be coming back!!

    SNS dip powder with fake tips in an almond shape = $75
    Nicole R.

    The staff is super nice and welcoming!!! The place is clean and comforting/calm. The nails were done amazingly and my nails or cuticles weren't hurt in the process of getting my nails done. I got SNS dip powder in almond shape done (originally $40) but I got the French tip that added $35 onto my total (total was $75) just for my manicure. AMAZING PLACE! Recommend for good prices, amazing work, and lovely staff! Shoutout to Michael being so amazing with the nails'

    long wait time they don't speak english they don't ask how you want the service done, poor communication, no desire to provide best service.

    Shannon is a Total Gem!…read more I had been going to the same lady for sugaring for years and was super comfortable with her, so I was really nervous when I had to find someone new after she had some health issues and couldn't continue offering services. I knew I needed to find someone good, especially for such a sensitive area--because when it's done wrong, it can seriously be one of the worst experiences ever. After searching and searching on Yelp in San Antonio, I noticed that there just aren't a ton of options with truly outstanding reviews. That's when I found Shannon--and I am so grateful I did! Not only were her reviews amazing, but I've also been in the salon industry myself for over 20 years, so I know what to look for when it comes to real professionalism, attention to detail, and quality service. From the moment I walked into my appointment, Shannon made me feel completely at ease. She has a warm, easygoing personality that instantly melts the nerves. She explained everything, made me feel relaxed, and honestly--I was shocked at how comfortable the whole experience was. Her technique is excellent, her attention to detail is incredible (she didn't leave a single sugar residue behind!), and she even got the tiniest hairs without causing the usual pain I've come to expect in certain areas. I was able to just keep chatting and stay relaxed the whole time, which has never happened before. And the best part? Her pricing is great, too. I left feeling like I just found a hidden gem--and I booked my next appointment before I even walked out the door. If you're nervous about finding a new sugaring pro, trust me--Shannon is the one. She's everything you want in someone handling such an intimate service: professional, kind, incredibly skilled, and someone you can actually look forward to seeing.

    Shannon is the BEST! She is kind, professional, and an expert at the art of sugaring.read more
