A Nail Today,

"DO NOT GO HERE. Absolutely the WORST nail experience I’ve ever had. To remove my gel she took an electric nail grinder and ground the color off and then continued onto my nails. The equipment (including file) was old, used and dirty. My nails are now damaged, weak, torn to pieces and scratched. It was so horrific I left halfway through the service. DO. NOT. GO. HERE."

"I called & was able to make an appointment for within the hour for a full set with gel & a gel pedicure for graduation. I came in with an idea, showed some inspiration photos, & she nailed it (pun absolutely intended). I have never been more in love with my nails. They look great & I'm receiving all of the compliments. Also, they were the sweetest, sharing photos of family members graduating this grad season as well. I will definitely be returning."

"$30 gel mani and $25 regular pedi Pedi was a great deal, my pedicurist did an amazing job with my nails and cuticles and the color is good. The gel mani was not done well. $30 definitely reflects the work. The cuticle work was not good, the gel color is bumpy and the edges are uneven. They still soak your nails in acetone and use an electric file to remove old gel. A lot of nail salons have evolved to using the bottled gel removal that requires less damage to the nail. The worst part was my manicurist cut my pinky with the file after the gel had cured. Will not be returning."

"Clean and calm place but my nail lady (the one who takes phone calls) had such a bad attitude. My bar for poor customer service is high but she takes the cake. Made an appointment over the phone for same day. Went on a Wednesday early evening. Got a gel manicure. She was efficient yes. After the two coats of polish I said I just wanted to add a sparkle finish on my ring and thumb finger and she said “why didn’t you choose in the first place ?” I’m like, I didn’t know that’s how it works, I didn’t think it needed extra sparkle until I tried it”. I appreciate that the gel manicure was cheaper around $30. And she was quick (15-20mins). But I doubt I’ll be back."

"I really enjoy this nails salon and I have recommended it to friends who were also impressed. It’s close to where I live. The workers are polite and friendly, it’s super clean and I’ve never had to wait over 10 mins for them to start my services. They will do the fun designs a find online! Also the prices are very reasonable!"
