Moon Nails,

"I was not impressed. They did a very sloppy polish job on my nails. It was uneven and the tools were not cleaned/sanitized before use on my nails. I could definitely tell. The polish was lumpy and messy and they did not remove the gel polish I had on prior properly, which made my nails look uneven. I wanted to like this place but the job was really poor."

"Tony is absolutely amazing. I followed him from his salon that he worked at before. He is meticulous and detail oriented. My nails always look perfect. I get a gel manicure… I’m not sure if it’s a dip as well… I just leave that to Tony, but it lasts for weeks. The only reason I ever change it is because it’s grown out but my polish never never never chips."

"Came in on a Monday afternoon with my mom and sister to get regular manis and pedis before some wedding festivities this weekend. Called morning-of and made a booking very easily. The salon is clean, tidy, and bright. Vast selection of polishes and colors. I appreciated the attention to detail and how thorough my technician was. All the staff were attentive and friendly. Our nails turned out great, very happy with results. Seems like a good value to me. Would recommend - and I’ll be back next time I’m in town and need my nails done! Thank you **edited to add pic - one week, one wedding, and one international flight later…still holding up!"

"I really wanted to love Moon!! I went last Monday and asked for a dip manicure, the technician said she would do gel over dip, to which I asked for all dip powder, she said again that gel over dip would make them thinner and the color more vibrant. Unfortunately the gel on top, as always in my experience with gel, has not lasted even a week without starting to chip. My usual dip manicures can last 3+ weeks with no chip (even if I’m doing hand intensive tasks such as moving, dishes, camping, etc). Everyone was very nice, but if you are looking for a pure dip manicure I would go elsewhere. It is too expensive to have a manicure that will last less than a week. :/"

"Ashley was free and did my dip powder manicure, it was honestly one of the best manicures I’ve ever had. She is so detail oriented and my nails look great, not too thick. I will definitely be coming back to her! The salon has a nice feel as well, very friendly!"
