"I had a really great experience and love the way my nails turned out from Bely. She took her time getting them perfectly rounded which I appreciated. Only taking off one star because my friend’s manicure didn’t turn out as well and they seemed to sort of rush him along."

"I came to this business for the first time last week for a full set and gel on my toes. I was serviced by Alicia (hands) and Christina (toes). They were both so kind. Alicia was so kind and worked very fast to accommodate me. They did exactly what I asked for. I was very pleased with the service. My service total was $105, which I thought was a bit higher than I’d expect for a full set and just gel polish on my toes, no pedicure, but all in all I was happy with the service. Thank you ladies!"

"Very mixed bag when it comes to how your manicure will turn out. I’ve had a near perfect SNS set (lavender nails) after pointing out my extremely thick one that looked really bad from the previous visit (green nails). Most recently, the nail tech drilled my nails down so much removing the prior SNS that there are dents and red spots all over them, and they hurt! I am so upset because I’ve had such good experiences here in the past, but the inexperienced people need more training before working on customers. Now I have to heal my damaged, thin nails from the drill and cannot enjoy manicures for a long time. This used to be a place that took the care and time to do nails well, now they just want you in and out as fast as possible."

"I’ve been going here regularly for almost 5 years now for dip manicures and regular pedicures. I won’t go anywhere else! Everyone that works here is so friendly and helpful. They all do an amazing job and will go out of their way to make customers comfortable. As a bigger woman, it is uncomfortable for me to sit at some of the counter chairs they have. Everyone there knows this and makes sure I get one of the chairs that are more comfortable for me. I don’t even have to worry about asking because they just know! One thing to note is that they do not do acrylic nails. You can get extensions with dip though, which is similar and does less damage to your real nails. I highly recommend checking this place out!"

"They were very friendly upon walking in. When I left I was satisfied with the service. My issue is 4 days after paying $60 plus tip for a dip powder manicure my nails are chipped. Not just one, 3 of them. I did call and was told I can come in and have them fixed but if 3 are already chipped, I can imagine how soon the rest will fall apart. It was my first and last time coming here. I’ll be returning to my regular stylist in NYC where it lasts 4 weeks minimum & even then no chipping."
