I am extremely disappointed. I went to mindys to get bio gel with colour (I have never gotten my nails done before) and they ended up doing acrylic with white extenders. I had no idea what was going on the entire time because I have never had this service done before. I was very clear that I wanted the entire nail to have colour so I was shocked when they finished and said “all done” and there was no colour on my nails. They stated that “it’s more elegant” with the white tips. Personally I don’t like French manicures and when I questioned them about the lack of colour they said “oh we can paint them for you” but the white tip showed through the colour. They also pressured my friend into getting a more expensive service that she didn’t want or need. I will not be coming back.

Worst manicure ever. Chose a dark colour (and they did not have a very large selection) and Mindy got it all over my fingers. It looked like a toddler had painted my nails. First and last time.

BUYER BEWARE! I went in yesterday for shellac and less than 3 hours later it was chipping! I've been to many nail salons for shellac before, and I know that you're lucky if it lasts 14 days (that's being generous), but my shellac didn't even last 14 hours! I had a feeling that this experience would be sub-par, as they didn't even use the proper shellac polishes (when I questioned her, she insisted that this was a superior product that strengthens the nails). I'm sorry but I will never return to this salon, the only reason that I'm giving my review 1 star is because I can't give a half star.

Didn't give the customer choices. Terrible and expensive. Ask 3 times for a colour and they disregarded any request. My daughter asked for colour too and they said "it look more elegant this way". Felt terribly pressured and upsold came out with half my nail with visible white tips underneath. Worst $130 spent in my life. Will not be returning. Thank you Mindy.

I came in wanting to get a basic acrylic nail set, but Mindy enticed me to upgrade for a set of Hollywood gels. I'm pretty happy with the upgrade as they last pretty longer then your typical acrylic sets done at other establishments. I'm happy with her service and products. Will be seeing her again soon!

BUYER BEWARE !!!!!!!Went to get my nails done a full acrylic set. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!First of all its one old Asian woman that does not speak English (hardly) she has a headset on and talks to all these other people in Asian. Her husband sits there playing games on the computer with this big miserable look on his face. Whenever I ask her questions about my nails she tries to sell me stuff that I don't need. Totally overpriced I'll never go there again. As I sat there having my nails done I looked around and the place was filthy and at that point it was too late for me to leave.I would never have a pedicure done there either the equipment is so old !!!Zero sterilization practices.

My husband bought me a gift certificate from here for $40. I went in to get a brow waxing done and to check out the place. My mom came with me thinking she could have a brow wax too...OMG!!! This place needs to be condemned!!! Boxes of crap everywhere, knick knacks and inches of dust all over the place. The nail tech all wear masks but pity anyone else in the salon as you breathe in clouds of nail product dust. The lady who waxed me burnt my eye lid and talked continiously over her head set in an asian language. When it was my mom's turn I told her that we were late for another appointment because I didn't want my mom getting burnt too. We ran from this place!!! I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of the gift certificate but I guess it is a loss of $40 cause I would NEVER go back ever again!!! This place needs to be burnt to the ground and not ever be rebuilt!!!
