Emmy is fabulous! Her work speaks for itself; she's an incredibly skilled artist who also does…read morenails, and she blends the two skills of hers beautifully in her studio. The studio is quiet and relaxing, and there's plenty of paid street parking. The tap gel nails are super sturdy, smells a whole lot better than acrylics, and are better for your nail health while not being too much more expensive, a win-win-win. Definitely excited to work with Emmy to help my nail dreams come to life, I've seen just how steady her drawing hand is and I cannot wait! This someone design is only a fraction of what she can do.

She is patient and pays attention to detail. I casually mentioned I don't like my cuticles and she spent time on it and helped me clean it up neatly and gently. I decided to get French tip but I normally just get solid colors or clear. I didn't like how the tip looked on my hands and she immediately asked if I wanted to change. I decided to keep it since I think it'll grow on me and it would be easy to remove since it's regular polish. Will definitely come again just to get my cuticles cleaned up and clear polish!

I've just moved to CV and was looking for a quality nail salon…read more Upon looking on Yelp, I found Raquelle and was drawn to the fact that she does nails in her own private studio. I had an enjoyable, quiet experience ( whenever I wasn't yapping!) and it was refreshing to be able to communicate exactly what I wanted for my nail shape, color, etc. My toes look so pretty! Was able to book online with a reservation which was also a bonus. Definitely recommend and will be back!

Meant to post this earlier but I have been caught up in my first home purchase (sorry O!). I smile every time I look at my nails and it's the ONE self care item that I can do that stays solid until my next appointment with O.

Be sure to tip her for what she is worth also because she really puts her heart and soul into her nail artistry and craft. Thank you O! Her studio is very clean and tucked away inside a series of shops in Montclair. Bathroom is always clean in the back also.

I liked the work he did on my fill. I get overlays on my real nails and he took care of them well with a solid foundation.

I needed a gel removal and a manicure, so after seeing the ratings of this nail salon, I decided to…read moregive it a try. I should've read into the reviews because there's only a few recent reviews and most were from years ago. I called in for a same day appointment, I arrived about 20 min early and they were able to take me in. Thanh started the removal process and I noticed immediately that there was still a lot of my polish not removed yet. I pointed them out and she said she'd get back to them later. She continued with the filing and cuticle cleanup, but the filing of my nails were uneven and raggedy. I didn't say anything yet, didn't want to assume she was done. She proceeded to buff my nails, and then took out the polishing tool. She was about to add cuticle oil on, so I knew she was wrapping up my manicure as I've gotten many manicures in the past, but she still didn't remove the remaining bits of my nail polish and my nails were not filed well, I asked to file the rest of my nails and pointed out each part of my nails with nail polish still. Instead of being honest; she began to make excuses and this was a very frustrating experience. I would not come back to this location!!

I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)

I've seen her work get better and better each visit! I'm always excited to come and see what she has in store for me each time. Her salon is really clean and I love that she's doing one on one especially now during covid times. She's really strict with the rules like checking temperature, logging in the names of the people who comes and goes, she also has a bathroom where you can wash your hands before and after the service. Overall, I would totally recommend her!
