Then new set Gel-X lasted 4 weeks!!
Isla S.

If you're looking for an amazing nail tech, Chelsea is the absolute best! My last set of lavender Gel X nails lasted 4 weeks without a single lift, chip, lift or break . I just got my refill done in a beautiful shimmery green, and the almond shaping is perfect. Chelsea pays such close attention to detail and genuinely cares about the quality of her work. Highly recommend! Five star!

I gave the nail salon another chance for some reason, and I honestly regret it. My nails are all different lengths and shapes, and they don't even go close to the cuticle. It literally looks like they've been grown out for two weeks and it's only been three days.

Chrome polish pedicure

Mimi at XO nails is the best. She definitely spends quality time with me. I feel like a get the treatment every time i come in for a pedicure. Absolutely love the JELLY SPA treatment. ‍

Not even 1 week after a gel X fill? Middle finger broke  , paint is already chipping & they look 2 weeks grown out?

Terrible service! Kenny the technician was rude & rolled his eyes when I asked what color I should choose ? He said " I dont care ". Less then 1 week after a GEL X fill the middle finger broke..paint chipping , they look 2 weeks grown out! Wasted money

Entrance

I was a big fan when they opened but the service has really gone down. Every time I make an appointment for opening time they are either late or don't have enough people to complete the service. It happened today, I made an appointment at 930 and they took in a few walk ins with no appointment and were leaving me there waiting. Instead of telling them they didn't have staff or to come back later so that the workers available could start on ppl with actual appointments. I still love the salon and the services offered, but the actual service is horrible. Idk if I will be going back again.

Love Tweety! She made my nails look amazing! Love the service and clean salon! I felt very relaxed and the vision I had for my nails she made it happen!

Yen did an incredible job helping me select the right color and design for me. The quality of their work and products are top notch. The design and atmosphere, vibe is calm and tranquil. Definitely recommend!!!!!! 10/10

Gel builder color 709

Absolutely love this nail salon! Started doing gel builder here and it's really helped stop the breaking that kept occurring with my traditional gel manicures. Saw J and he did a wonderful job! Very natural, which is exactly what I asked for. The salon is newly remodeled and it's so aesthetically pleasing! Parking easy too. Look forward to coming back soon!

My nails after I shaped them.  Clock the shortened pinky nail and the cut on my middle finger in the cuticle.

Yesterday was my third visit and I experienced what some other reviewers have noted: the quality depends on who is doing your manicure or pedicure. My first two visits, I was very lucky to have gotten people who did a great job. Yesterday, I was not so lucky. The lady who did my manicure was terrible - she not only cut me but she completely wrecked my natural nails - nails I had spent over a year carefully regrowing as they had gotten thin and brittle due to previous nail salons overusing drills. The lady here used the drill, I could feel the heat as my nails got thinner and then I had expressly told her I wanted round nail shape - identical to my nail shape when I walked in. She did the sloppiest job filing, they were crooked and not round. Before I knew it, my nails had been filed down short. When I saw how short my pinky nail was I took the nail file from her and began to file my own nails. She kept trying to take the file back but I explained to her she had thinned my nails, cut me, and now my nails were too short. She did not understand what I was saying and kept trying to take the nail file. She then said something to Tweety, who said she would fix it. The lady then left to do another poor woman's manicure. I sat there and waited until Tweety was done and she finished my manicure. Tweety did a great job - such a night and day difference. But the damage had already been done by the other lady - in terms of my nails getting thinned and my nails getting filed shorter than I wanted. Tweety was kind enough to take off some money from the total. I don't know that I will return however. That woman did an absolute awful job and now it will take months for my nails to regrow after how much she thinned the nail bed. I took photos and it shows how messy my cuticles and the skin around my nails look - it's because the lady kept using a file on my nails thinning them even more and she would end up filing the skin around my nails.

Tweety and Chloe are the best. They are amazing and the price is Rock. Love them XOXO.

Still searching for my favorite pedicure tech but will find one soon, and the shoulder and neck massage I had from Mimi was divine!

So many reasons this place is NO:…read more 1. The constant up-sell. Two ladies were constantly walking around to clients trying to add more services while they were already in the chair. Didn't like seeing it and definitely didn't like being approached with it myself. 2. Cuticle trim was an extra $5. Everywhere else I've been it's included in the manicure. That's an important part of the manicure to charge extra for. 3. If paying by card, they add the credit card transfer to YOUR bill! This is irresponsible as a business owner and looks bad to add it when a customer is at the counter to pay. Rude and tacky! 4. Dip polish is almost $20 more than a regular manicure. Most other salons it's a $5 to $7 up charge. Wow. 5. Tips only accepted in cash. Cannot add to your card when paying. I was practically followed out to the atm machine in the parking so that I could get cash for a tip. The nail tech waited and watched to make sure I came back. This shop does decent nails, but their business practices and customer service is TERRIBLY RUDE. I will not be back and I cannot recommend them to others. No thank you!

I really wanted to like this place. I came in and they followed all rules with Covid which I…read moreappreciated. The wait for an appointment was not long but I could tell that all the ladies had been working really hard. For me during Covid service providers I've ensured to tip really well because I feel they had a huge loss during the stay at home order. I had an appointment for gel mani and pedi. Pedi was okay Mani was terrible. I asked to have extra coats 3-4 to make the nails thick and ensure the gel doesn't chip easily. She put on 3 coats but it was still thin. I didn't realize until after I got in my car and had been there for 2 hours that the tech did not put the polish all the way to the cuticle and I looked like I had 1 week old nails leaving the salon. In total I paid $125 and left a $40 tip. I'm very disappointed for the price that I left with grown out nails. Also, I went on vacation without strenuous work and a nail chipped within 4 days not cool

Allure Nails & Spa - The picture hardly does it justice. The gouge that was taken out of my thumb by the drill. It's only one of 8 other nicks from my fill.
