- Deluxe Spa Gel Mani Review -…read more The lovely Elena did my nails yesterday, and I LOVE them. Due to my occupation, I cannot have long nails but she did a wonderful job with the small amount of nails I do have. She was very gentle and precise. No cuts, only great looking nails. I usually only get my nails done back when I go home from school, in CA, but she's had me converted. I think I have found my new favorite nail place in town!

Best SPA mani-pedi ever! Henry did a great job and my poor feet were so grateful. I recently had…read moresurgery and my feet and legs needed a lot of TLC and they got it.

Unfortunately, the quality of this salon has declined over the years. Today, my mother and…read moregrandmother and I went in for mani-pedis, and we were honestly taken aback by the overall cost. My mother received a standard manicure with no color, just two clear coats, and was charged $75. My grandmother received a gel manicure on her natural nails with no acrylics and was charged $90. The pedicure pricing seemed accurate. The express pedicure was $30, with an additional $15 charge for gel, which still feels excessive. Beyond the pricing, we felt rushed throughout the appointment, and the staff came across as rude and unwelcoming. There was very little communication or customer service during the visit. Had I been there when my grandmother paid, I absolutely would have questioned the pricing, especially after looking up the pricing on their website. Given the lack of transparency and the unusually high charges, it genuinely felt like she was taken advantage of.

I'm really happy with how my gel manicure turned out - clean, neat, and exactly the shape I wanted…read more I highly recommend the soft gel on your natural nails; it feels lightweight and looks beautiful. The service was smooth and comfortable, and I'll definitely be coming back.

If I could leave a negative review I would. This nail salon is by far the worst I've ever been to…read morefor so many reasons. Not only was the salon dirty and the nail technicians did not wash their hands in between smoke breaks (that were taken with the door open so the salon reeked of cigarettes) but they did a terrible job on my nails. Every nail was a different length, the polish flooded my cuticles, the shape was horrible, and they were so overpriced. I was charged for "excessive length" when these nails are barely even medium length. When I came in to complain I was immediately met with defensiveness and insults. I was told that the nails I came in with originally were ugly so clearly I didn't know what good nails looked like (not sure what that has to do with the bad job they did but okay) she then tried to claim she gave me a discount (I didn't ask for it) which apparently excuses a bad job (it doesn't). She was so incredibly rude and tried to argue with me in front of the whole salon which is also just unprofessional. She also tried to say that it's normal for nails to be different lengths (I got acrylics mind you so no it's not) and make up a billion excuses to why the nails were terrible. she then refused to redo my nails. I would never come back to this place even if someone paid to me. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ACTUALLY LIKE WELL DONE NAILS BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THAT HERE.

It was the first time I tried this place and got dip powder manicure done.

Additionally after they were done putting the nail paint, they didn't put any cream/lotion on my hand. It's the first time I have gotten any manicure where it didn't end with a moisturizer. The end result was super unsatisfactory. Two stars because the place was clean and they are taking all the needed covid precautions

I really like this salon. I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews. They are always busy, and…read moresome of the manicurists are better than others, but I always leave with fantastic looking nails! I have been going to this salon since they opened - not sure, 4 years? One time my manicurist cut one of my cuticles and it bled. I have very bad ingrown toenails on my big toes, and Tina is expert at removing them. I've never had an infection or bleeding after a pedicure. I get both plain and gel nails, and they have a nice large selection of colors. The price is great, and they're always busy - I think unhappy customers must leave reviews more often than happy customers do.

I had a terrible experience here and will not be coming back…read more I booked a gel manicure because the price listed was $35, but when it came time to pay I was charged $53 for the exact same service. What made it even more frustrating was that I heard other customers being charged $35 while I was there. There was no explanation for the price difference, and it felt very misleading. I also asked multiple times for my nails to be cut shorter, but my requests were completely ignored. I left with nails much longer than I wanted. The most concerning part of my visit was the cleanliness. While doing my nails, the technician had what looked like a bite or sore on her arm that she kept scratching and squeezing. I saw what appeared to be pus come out, and she continued touching my hands afterward without washing or sanitizing hers. It was incredibly unsanitary and made me very uncomfortable. Overall, the misleading pricing, lack of attention to what I asked for, and poor hygiene made this one of the worst nail salon experiences I've had.
