Listen to the bad reviews ladies! Do NOT recommend this nail salon. Honestly.. for the price I paid for an acrylic FILL this place is not worth it. I have never paid 40$ for a simple acrylic fill with color. My nails are all different lengths (look at pics), they're bumpy, they're patchy. She drilled my nail bed so much that she burnt me! This place needs to really fix up! Way too overpriced and bad quality! I only gave this place 2 stars because at least my nail tech tried making good convo with me otherwise i'd rate it 1 star...

Very rough grabbing and pulling my feet. I am ticklish and tend to move occasionally and every time I did she would glare at me and mutter. She filed my nails to the point where she was filing skin and even ripped my cuticle off to the point of it hurting 3 days later. My friend and I were rushed out before our nails even had a topcoat on despite being the first and only people in there. My nail polish on my big toe is smeared and ruined within an hour of leaving. They also had a discount on for 10% for grad nails and it wasnt applied even after showing ID despite what they said. I feel as though I was charged for a design (i didn't get one) but do to a language barrier they didn't understand what I was saying so I just ended up paying. 31.50 later and I leave with a half ass pedicure Would not return.

The place seemed well kept, staff were friendly enough and at a glance, it looked like a decent place to try for my first time. I just wanted a simple acrylic set with a friend and they had walk-in time. It was about two weeks ago, and as I recall, the lady who started with my nails wasn't normally the one to do acrylic nails, so she was rather rough didn't quite know what she was doing; never even touched my cuticles. She left shortly after to wax eyebrows, so the lady who was working on my friend, Leanne, reassure me that she would finish with me after my friend, which was fine. Leanne followed my wishes to keep the nails a little shorter rather than the average and was very friendly. I left happy with her work and glad the first lady left when she did because I did not see her doing very well in nails. Based on other reviews, I can absolutely seeing them being true with language barriers and some professionalism, so looking back, I am thankful I ended up with someone who knew what they were doing, and if I were to go back for acrylics, I would definitely ask for Leanne.

I am extremely disappointed in the service i received yesterday. I went in for a gel fill and the short Chinese lady sat me down at a station and left me sitting there for atleast 45mins ! she went ahead and ate her lunch and 2 walk ins had came and she immediately sat them down and started on them. Keep in mind that i had a appointment. After waiting she started doing my nails. She was very rough and rude and when i told her she was cutting into my nail bed she acted like she didnt know English. Half way through my nails I asked if I could get my Eyebrows waxed and she told me they did not do that here even though they have it on the sign. When she was putting the top coat on my nails there was a bump and I asked her if she could fix it and she said. "honey it looks good" it did not look good!!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE!!!!!

Went here to get my legs waxed for the first time ever and it was an extremely painful experience. At first, the business seemed quite clean and professional but unfortunately, the worker left several areas of my legs with unwaxed hair. They had trouble waxing my legs in general and said that my hairs were "too thick". I paid $40 for both upper and lower legs and yet they barely waxed my thigh area at all! Not to mention that they did not provide me with any shorts to wear (luckily I brought my own). At the end of the service, they ran out of oil and they used some off brand lotion to remove the wax (WHICH DID NOT WORK). I had to put my skinny jeans back on and literally cut them off of my legs when I got home because they stuck to the wax. I spent an hour in the shower trying to get the wax off with various oils and soaps to no success. By the end of the service, my legs were super red, irritated with bumps, and had little cuts all over for weeks. The worker also left me waiting in the room several times and would not warn me when they were about to wax different sections. Overall, very rough and unprofessional service. Tried to stay positive and friendly throughout, but it was hard to understand their accent. To end this review, I would like to add that it hurt to walk after the service, and I really was not happy to pay $40. Read Less

WORST nail place. Do Not go here. The rudest people I have ever met. They wrecked my nails. The woman drilled right through my real nails(skin is exposed) while getting acrylic nails put on. Offered me no discount.. It didn't even bother them how bad they did to my nails. I still have pain and this was two weeks ago. You will regret going here. I know I am. I will NEVER return here and I have been showing my nails to everyone to warn of this place. Read Less

I will not recommend this Salon to anyone. The service alone was unprofessional and after having an appointment for 2 people we were treated as an inconvenience. The manicurists kept leaving our nails unfinished to go start walk-ins. Our whole process of a simple Manicure and a solar nails set took over 2 hours because of this. My friend's French manicure needed be redone. The nails were not cleanly painted, drips, and no clear straight lines for the tips. My friend needed to ask the manicurist to change her gloves after she left her sitting there to go do a pedicure and grate skin off someone's foot. The manicurist came back and tried to take my friends hand to continue working on her nails. That is gross and unsanitary. In discussion with the manager a discount was offered however, that was not the issue. They were horrible. They nails were redone with a full coat instead. My solar nails did look awesome, however the electric file cut into my skin cutting me twice. However, less than a week later I have been to another salon to repair two nails that have honestly disintegrated . I wear gloves to do dishes and clean and the only water was when I bathe. I am so angry. Read Less

The place was nicely finished and friendly staff but they aren't trained well enough to safely give a pedicure. They were using the sanding stone on me and she went too hard for too long and cut me open on my ankle! I was so angry and they didn't give me the pedicure at a discounted price or apologize. In fact the other worker looked and laughed and then asked my technician in there language something as she laughed. HORRIBLE!Read Less

Horrible experience. Took my mom for Mother's Day and yes they took us in without an appointment but the pedicures came out very sloppy. Nail polish application was worse then what a 2 year old could do. Nails were cut uneven and shapeless. Feet were left super dry. It didn't even look like we went for a professional service. Very disappointed will not go back Read Less

Second time now that I've not been happy. Saturday the girl I had seemed new but I'm not sure. Usually if you're new, you take your time. Not this one. She rushed through, my nails weren't even fully painted and she skipped some things they usually do. Also, my nails were so poorly filed and cut irregular. She also kept getting up during my manicure. I wasn't sure what was going on. She didn't put hand lotion on my hands even and my fingers were very dry at the end of it. I asked if they had some hand lotion while paying and she put some on her hands and rubbed my finger tips. It was very odd. I don't understand why she was rushing as they weren't that busy. Not that they should anyway. I understand why now that there wasn't many there.....Over priced for the poor job she did. Read Less

Horrific!  I went for a pedicure and left with a enormous wound on my foot.  The 'tech' had scrubbed an uncalloused spot until it was raw and bleeding.  When she noticed it, she told me I had sensitive feet and continued the pedicure.  I had to ask her to treat it with something, as it was open and bleeding. I paid and left only to return a couple of hours later when I realized how deep the cut was and how painful it was to walk (the spot is on the side of my foot near my heel).  They returned half of my money and told me that it 'wasn't her fault because I have sensitive skin.' Unfortunately, the truth is she was mindlessly scrubbing away at my foot and talking to the girl next to her.  It's almost a week later and I'm still treating a deep and infected wound. I'm aware that little nicks and cuts can happen during a pedicure, but this is a gaping wound. I would not recommend stepping foot into this disgusting establishment. Read Less
