WARNING....WARNING....WARNING‼ If you get your nails done here, you WILL end up with a toenail fungus that's close to impossible to get rid of! They DO NOT sanitize their implements between each client and only rinse tubs out! I've seen some of the grossest stuff in tubs, then when person leaves, they rinsed out and started filling for next person! These people are criminal! Not to mention they laugh at you as you try to communicate with them...we are the fools, we keep going and paying them! Somebody needs to shut this place down. I urge you to remove polish and check your toes girls....if at all yellow, black or discolored, go seek a medical doctor! Good luck to the girls that are now being treated for fungus...just sucks!

3.5 STARS really. I've been here 4 times and I think it's time for a review. I always have Lin do my toenails and I always bring my own nail polish. (I always do this no matter where I go.) I'm not picky, I want clean toenails at the end of service and if I mess up the polish as wait for it to dry that she will fix it. (And she has.)Today, I simply wanted clean nails but she ended up buffing and shining it. Awesome. Read Less

The extra star is for her friendly attitude, but I'm not happy with the paint job. I just wanted a basic manicure and it looked nice until the paint. There is quite a bit on my skin and normally they take a q-tip with polish remover to get any extra and this didn't happen. There are bubbles in the paint as well. Read Less

AWFUL! Terrible, the worst! Don't bother! I really wish I would have read the reviews before going here.  By far the worst pedicure experience I've had.  Denny or whatever his name is was really rough.  Instead of telling me to lift my foot he would grab leg of ankle squeeze hard and pull. His "massage" was terrible if that's even what you want to call it.  When he filed my toenails he used a thin ass file that cut into my skin. Pedicures are supposed to be relaxing and nice, this was a special kind of torture.  I can't believe I paid for it.  I opted for the $40 (most expensive one) and he brought out the hot stones and kept burning me with them.  I kept having to pull away.  He cut my toenails too short and one is jagged.  I should have walked away there but I needed a fill and one nail repaired because it broke.  So here we go again... he removed the remaining acrylic from my broken nail and grabbed me with the cuticle cutter he was using.  Needless to say it really hurt.  My nails are thin under that acrylic so any poking or heat is going to make me jump.  Then came the file drill.  He kept filing to long in one spot on each of my nails and of course friction happens, it burns.  I could tell he was starting to get frustrated with me because I kept flinching and telling him he was hurting me through the pedicure and now the fill.  He glued on a New nail on my finger and he screwed up and cut it too short.  When I called him on it and tried to compare the length with the rest of my nails he started to argue with me. He said he would make them all even, so I gave him a chance.  NOPE, still too short and wide.  He said he would take it off and start over but I wasn't about to let him hurt me more.  I told him to just finish the job.   He applied two super almost transparent coats of gel polish so I asked him for one more coat because I don't want my nails see-through!!! He made a grunting noise and applied another super thin coat.  (They're still a little transparent)He had the nerve to cope an attitude after all this crap.  When I pointed out the nail he fixed was too short he kept arguing and being an asshole so I gave up.  I realize that not everyone's work is going to look the same, but a simple measuring/comparison so they are the same length isn't too much to ask for.  The kicker is I got a pedicure that sucked, a simple fill and broken nail repair that sucked even more and I was charged $90 f**king dollars!?!?!? DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE!! They don't listen, do a good job or care if they cut or hurt you and they have terrible attitudes! Read Less

It's hard to even give this place one star. I went in for a full set which said it was only $25 on the outside and inside of the store. At first, they tried to get me to pick out a gel polish and I said I wanted the most basic. They seemed impatient and quite unfriendly. The man doing my nails tore apart my skin under my middle finger and knew, but never stopped to check it. When I was drying my nails, I sat there for 10 minutes and he even told me that he "forgot." Then they charged me $35 for my nails (which are painted horribly!) I will NEVER go back. Read Less

These are the best nail people in town, and I have been almost everywhere and have lived here a while. They're very nice and do a great job I've never not been satisfied, and that says a lot if you get your nails done a lot.  They just did my feet and hands for my sisters wedding and it was tricky finding the right color to match my dress but they were very nice about it while I couldn't make up my mind. I also smudged my toes and he repainted them and fixed it making it perfect. Thanks so much I will be back in a few weeks for a fill! Read Less

This place is nothing but a SCAM I took my sweet mother to get a basic pedicure and they told her to pick out a nail polish that they had in front and even pointed to the nail polish so my mom did,  she sat all the way at the end so I couldn't see her but when she was finished we went to pay and it was $25! We were confused and said no we just got  a basic manicure and the woman said the nail polish was gel well my mother clearly stated she didn't want gel!  They pulled the same thing with a girl earlier and she was pretty upset. My mother and I were furious and they did nothing about it. This place was nothing but a SCAM and I will NEVER go back.  I do not recommend ever going here. Read Less

My friend and I have been here a few times, once for pedicures, once for gel, and this time for full sets. They do really well with pedicures; best massage chairs in town. Shellac was just average, no worse or better than anywhere else. Today, when we went in for full sets we each picked a glitter tip and sat down and waited. My friends nails were started before mine, finished 45 min- an hour after. My nailed were barely prepped; they didn't even push my cuticles down... And when they went to file after the acrylic about 4 fingers were stuck with acrylic. Ouch. Neither one of the glitter colors were the same as the sample. And her tech got up (with ouch saying anything) and went to do a wax on another client. Very unprofessional Read Less
