    Yoki did such a beautiful job! I was trying to find a new studio to go to because the last studio I went to cut up my cuticles so badly that they bled and got infected. I was traumatized to say the least. So glad I found Yoki. Appointment was easy to make online with a required deposit. She was patient and sat there for hours perfecting the design I had in mind. She is also very sweet and easy to talk to. She didn't hurt me at all and kept checking in with me on whether I liked the length, shape, etc. The studio is a good size and not overwhelming. There is a TV you can watch shows on too. I can't wait to make another appointment here. Parking: street or back lot

    The marble nails and the French tip is AMAZING

    Donna. Just amazing. My nails were EXACTLy what I wanted...but better than I thought. They have such depth and dimension. The water design reminds me of being at my favorite place - at the beach by the water. I feel like I post a review every time I go...and it's because I am once again beyond impressed. Donna is so meticulous and I absolutely love how my nails came out. I never had color on my nails before going to this salon. I blame them. They have such amazing colors for the gel they use. Thank you again for how amazing my nails turned out!!!

    I booked an appointment here for the first time this weekend and I was so thrilled with how my nails came out! My nail tech was Yoki and she was great, she asked my opinion about the little details I wanted which I appreciated. I felt like the total time I spent here was much shorter than other salons which was great. The salon was pretty and clean. Parking in the back was easy and the salon appreciates being paid in cash. I would definitely come back the next time I need my nails done!

    Yoki always does such an amazing job, and absolutely nails the designs. Love this set so much, and it stays so well, she helped me choose the perfect colors and so attentive to the details, highly recommend!!

    I am posting this because this week I was having a tough week and scheduled a follow up for up-keeping my hard nail because it has grown. As a nail biter, the durability of the hard nail has prevented me to bite my . Donna was my technician and she helped me select the design versus plain color. She added some sparkle to my nails versus the boring flat color.

    Definitely recommend Yume nail studio. First of all, it's a chill atmosphere, in which; I can just watch Netflix and let the artist focus. I showed a picture of grunge nails to the nail tech and she did a great job. Thank you!

    I've been coming here for more than a year and my nail sets have always been gorgeous every time! I highly recommend Yoki- she is super accommodating and has really great attention to detail!

    Yume Nails Studio is where it's at. I've had my nails done by Yoki and Kathleen and both do such a phenomenal job. The prep and attention to detail make me come back. I usually do the hard gel overlay and it keeps my nails super duper strong with great retention. I'm a simple girl, but I've seen such intricate designs. If you show a photo for inspiration it's always matched and beautifully executed. Yume Nail Studio has so many color choices and they're up to date with all the nail trends. I love the appointment making process and switched from another salon because of this reason. Your appointment time is your time. If you're waiting it's only for the prior appointment to be done, which is usually less than 5 min. Don't expect a fast service because these ladies need time to make your nails perfect. I always appreciate all the time taken to ensure your nails come out the way you like it.

    I got my nails done by Kathleen about 2 weeks ago and they're holding up perfectly. I scheduled my appointment for a simple nail design as I wasn't sure what type of nails I wanted until the day of. I ended up wanting a more complex nail design. Though it wasn't the same appointment type, Kathleen tried to get as close to my inspo pic as possible with the shorter amount of time we had. I really love how detailed she was and she was so gentle with my nails. She made sure I was satisfied with the length, shape, color and design before moving on. I didn't feel rushed at all during the process. They're so cute and festive!!

    Amazing service by Donna. I really liked this nail design I saw on their page. She helped me figure out how to make to affordable for my budget. The vibes are pretty chill since it's appointment only and not super busy and chaotic like other nail salons could be. I felt taken care of and had great conversations with her too! I'm pretty obsessed with these dried floral nails... I'll be back for more next time!

    I've been to Yumi Nails twice now! it's been a challenge finding a nail salon that truly focuses on creativity and specializes in Japanese nail art so I'm glad to finally find THE ONE. This has quickly become my go-to spot, especially for special occasions when I want full-on 3D nails, gems, and intricate designs. Both times, I had Yoki (I hope I'm spelling that right!), and she's been amazing. She did my bridal nails and most recently my honeymoon nails, and both sets turned out *beautifully. I'm always impressed with how dedicated and detailed she is. Even when I come in with a random or super specific design request, she's very honest and transparent about what's possible and what may need to be adjusted, and I really appreciate that. There's a lot of care and patience in her work. My designs tend to be on the heavier side with lots of details, so I typically spend about 1.5 to 2 hours in the chair. Make sure to budget enough time for your appointment, the quality and attention they give your nails is worth every minute. Pricing for my visits has ranged from $95-$110 plus tip, which feels fair given the level of artistry and time involved. The experience never feels rushed, and the end result always leaves me happy. If you're into Japanese-style nail art or want something unique, bold, and beautiful, I highly recommend Yumi Nails ", and definitely ask for Yuki if she's available! Also...I appreciate them playing some Netflix while getting your nails done so you won't be bored :)

    Such amazing, amazing work by Kathleen she did everything requested and fulfilled the vision I had perfectly! The application and care put into even choosing the right colors/glitter consistencies is unmatched. This is a girl who cares about you and your nails. Very cute little studio that's well maintained. Can't wait to come back here next time I visit Pricing: Gel overlay base $55 Removal from other studio $5 Added gel x for fixing broken nail $10 ($5 x2 nails) Design $30-35 Deposit $30

    Ungatekeeping a gem that I've been going to religiously for months now. I can't rave about this spot enough! I'm a firm believer that expertise shines through the simplest of work. That being said, I'm not big on design so a classic gel set is what I gravitate to. Every time I go in for a basic gel set, the attention to detail is what keeps me coming back! I always ask for Yoki or Kathleen because they are so quick and skilled with their hands it's unreal. Pricing is also more than fair considering the work that they do.

    I had a gel manicure done by Tammy a little over a month ago for my wedding! Trying out a brand new…read moresalon right before my big day made me a little nervous, but looking back at the results, I'm so glad I did! Getting to the salon wasn't too difficult, some street parking wasn't too difficult. The salon had a cute and modern vibe to it! I was instantly seated by Tammy and she got to work. They had an iPad at each station, which really made my experience here relaxing. I had a hard gel set on, and Tammy did mention how they'd have to start clean and remove this set. I was charged for removal, which I wasn't the greatest fan of. I asked Tammy for a classic nude, white ombré with a bit of glitter on top, and she delivered! This is probably the best set of ombré nails I've ever had done!!! I've had many nail techs say how ombré nails look better on longer nails, but Tammy made things work with the nail length I was comfortable with! I was a bit skeptical of the longevity since it wasn't the hard gel I'm used to, but this set legit lasted me over FOUR WEEKS (with the exception of one nail that had gel-ex on because of some previous nail damage)! If I were in the area more often, I'd go back to Buttercup in a heartbeat!!!! They are on the pricier side, but you'll be paying for quality IMO.

They also put you in these super comfortable reclining chairs with blankets. It's perfect to take a nap. Only downside is that there is no parking, just 3 parking spots.

    I got a pedicure here from Tammy and I loved my experience! I chose the diamond pedicure and was…read morereally happy with the quality of work, the care with my pedicure and the communication. I don't have a phot because who wants to look at my feet, LOL. She took extra attention to my calluses, and painted my toe nails so pristinely. It's good to know that they do upsell on some enhancements to your service. I was asked if I wanted to add on paraffin wax to my hands and I said yes for $8 more. that was such a nice treat. So relaxing and my cuticles are thanking me. I did not opt for gel on my feet because my pedicure polish usually lasts a good long time. The atmosphere is really nice here as well. Super clean, not a lot of TVs, and the music was a nice low volume. Looking forward to going back!

    I would not recommend this nail tech based on my experience…read more I came in requesting a French tip gel manicure and showed a reference photo of exactly what I wanted. Instead, the finished nails were incredibly thick, uneven, bumpy, and had visible air bubbles. The French tips were inconsistent in shape and width, making the overall look sloppy and outdated rather than clean and refined. My thumb had already started chipping almost immediately after the appointment. Because I wasn't satisfied, I returned to ask if my concerns could be fixed. Instead of listening, the nail tech immediately argued that the look I wanted could only be achieved with Gel-X. This was confusing because I've had simple French tip gel manicures done at multiple other salons without any issues. I explained again that my main concerns weren't about the technique. It was the excessive thickness, uneven application, bumps, air bubbles, and lack of symmetry on all 5 fingers on my right hand. She then said she would file the nails thinner, but immediately started aggressively filing one of my pinky nails without paying attention to the shape or symmetry. It became noticeably uneven, and I had to stop her because I could clearly see it wasn't being corrected properly. At that point, she decided to remove the entire set and start over. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse. I have a medical condition that weakens my skin barrier and cuticles, and the way she used the cuticle e-file was extremely painful. She also removed the gel very carelessly, leaving behind a significant amount of product residue instead of fully cleaning the nails. Throughout the entire experience, I never felt confident in her gel application technique. The polish remained thick, uneven, and lacked the smooth, refined finish I expected from a professional gel manicure. Despite the poor workmanship, the discomfort during the service, and having to return because of the quality, no refund was offered. I ultimately left without getting my nails redone there because I no longer trusted the quality of the work. This experience was disappointing from both a technical and customer service standpoint, and I will not be returning.

    This place is popular. I come here often enough... but yesterday, my pedicure was so shitty that…read morewhen I went home, my husband asked "you didn't get your toes done?" Lmao, but really not. My gel overlay manicure was great, which I had an appointment for. The pedicure is the issue. They added me in for the pedicure, for which I waited (they notified me that there was going to be a wait, which I was fine with, but I would've been okay without the pedicure if they told me they didn't have room/time.) So I had a classic pedicure with them, removing my previously grown out gel pedicure and asked for a natural pedicure, expecting the usual cut, toe nail filing/ shaping, and cuticle trimming. My nail tech cut the nails, but basically did a hack job on cutting them. It looked like I cut them at home. No filing them even, no shaping whatsoever -- just a messy slather of nail strengthener over my toenails. And this wasn't the first time I didn't get a color polish on my toenails/got a natural pedicure here. I think I already had a feeling when I was leaving that my pedicure wasn't that great but I couldn't really see in the dim lighting, and I was already delayed in needing to pump (breastmilk) so the engorgement/pumping was the more pressing matter on my mind of needing to get out of the nail salon. So I acknowledge it was my fault for not speaking up, but the services provided should be consistent enough that I don't have to be watching my nail tech like a hawk. Edit: when a business owner replies to your review, and basically says it takes time to achieve a "certain look", I think that's ridiculous, and frankly, a problem. Like I said, I've been here plenty of times and have gotten clear polish/pedicures at THIS LOCATION, especially when I came to THIS LOCATION when I was pregnant this past year and couldn't reach my feet. None of those experiences AT THIS LOCATION were bad. This visit just warranted a bad review and they didn't like it and didn't like the photo proof. My toenails were long and grown out (43 days since my last pedicure) so the nail tech had plenty to work with. And like I previously acknowledged, I should've spoken up but gave the reason why it didn't happen. Business owners: stop writing automatic formed responses and be proud of your business and acknowledge when you hire people who don't achieve your vision for your business and cut corners. I got a "pedicure" without a cuticle trim -- I think that's a basic at the very least.

I don't plan on returning. She responded f you're interested, you can always come back - obviously with sarcasm. My problem is the manager has a condescending attitude and obviously does not take a customer friendly approach.
