Great nail salon! I have had manicures, pedicures, acrylic sets and fills. All my services have been top notch. I would highly recommend calling ahead and scheduling an appointment. They get very busy, which speaks highly. You can order boba tea next door and have it delivered while you are getting your nails done, bonus! Read Less

I went to Emily's on Monday 3/12. Nina was available, and she was able to fix my nails. She did such a great job, and she made sure that I was happy with my nails throughout the process.

I went here to get acrylics, they turned out great but the process took a really long time and they did not engage any conversation with me. Overall a good experience, it was cheap- only $33 for a full set with gel, which is cheaper than the last places that I've been to. I only wish that the staff were more friendly. Read Less

I have been getting gel/manicures here for a few years now. I am happy with my fills, however I am MORE than dissatisfied with my pedicures.  I have had discoloration and breakage of my toenails since having pedicures here. I do not know if they clean their instruments properly and they have standing water in their foot spas. Do not have pedicures here!!!!!!! Read Less

I was referred to Emilys by a friend. I walked into Emilys a few days before Christmas and the place was so busy! They couldn't help me because I didn't have an appt but it's ok, I knew my chances were slim. I ended up going somewhere else and got my nails done super fast and the quality showed! I knew this time that I needed to call ahead to make an appt and I'm so happy I did! Got my pink and white fill today and they look so much better than they did before! She also did my nails super square, thank you!!! My nails were peeling and breaking off after less than 2 weeks! I actually appreciate the fact that they make appts and honor them, then you won't feel rushed. They do also take walk-ins but I would recommend calling ahead of time. Very happy with my nails today!

I honestly thought this place was going to be great by the reviews but I was wrong. it took 3 people to do my nails, all I asked was for acrylics but they kept switching up on me. The second lady hurt my nail when she was sanding down my nail (distracted) . Then, As I was drying my nails in the end the woman basically told me I could leave once another customer walked in because my nails were "dry", which they weren't and in result I messed one nail as soon as I opened there door to leave. Basically she was rude when I nicely asked to get it fixed. It was a bad experience and I'm really not one to complain but it was too many negatives. Read Less

Nails done by Emily herself! It was my first time here and was recommended by a friend. It had, in my opinion, many colors to pick from and I couldn't decide which I wanted most. I have homecoming coming up, so I decided to do acrylic nails and she did a fantastic job. The wait time wasn't much of a wait at all, they gave me time to decide on a nail color and all that. The process went by fast as well!Would definitely go again! But they would prefer fo you to make an appointment first than a walk-in, which I did. It guarantees a spot! Read Less

Low selection of gel colors. Rude to me when I had a question, she snapped at me and was demeaning. I was quiet and polite and didn't warrant her response. Also, I had asked for an ombre nail style, and she had said ok... 15 minutes in she tells me to choose a color instead, she said that the picture looks nice but I wouldn't like it on my nail, and that it's hard to take off..So pretty much, she didn't give me what I wanted because it would have been more work for her.They also never try to talk to you, they talk amongst themselves the whole time.The only positive is that my nails are even. Lol.Don't go here, for your sake. Read Less

I have been coming here for quite some time now. I always schedule an appointment in advance and I am always seen on-time. I don't schedule with a specific person because they all do an amazing job. I usually get a gel mani and pedi. Today, Emily did pink and white ombre coffin shaped nails on me and I'm obsessed. The shape came out flawless! I'm a forever client!  Thanks ladies! Read Less

Great salon option for affordable, simple manicures with stylist who are not going to harass you to add additional services for additional fees. We paid $25 for a gel manicure & $20 for a pedicure. Both stylist did a great job, very detailed and attentive. I like how thing my gel manicure turned out; however, neither could do any designs. I shared a picture from Pinterest and asked if she could do something similar and the only thing she could do was one glittery nail. I was surprised as normally salons have stencils or design options you can select from. My mom encountered the same thing when she asked for a flower on her toe.  Her stylist answered honestly and said she didn't do those often.Definitely a great go to place for simple, pretty nails, but if you want anything additional, maybe try a different salon.

UPDATE: I went in a second time for another appointment, this time it was with someone else, and no one even really looked up or cracked a smile. The only thing I think I was asked was what I needed. I said I had an appointment and then no one said anything at all.  After waiting for a while I decided to leave. I really wanted to like this place as it's in a super convenient location for me!  But, that experience paired with the extra charge for basic square nails means my search for a nail salon continues...********So, Emily is awesome and that forth star is definitely for customer service.  I'm trying to focus on the fact that I do love my acrylics she did yesterday... But can't really get over the fact that I was charged $5 extra for the "coffin shape". I'm including a picture to show their shape... Am I crazy or are they just square? Read Less

She did exactly as I wanted.  The shape and polish was on point!  Also a plus that you can tip on your card AND she gave me a frequency card so if you come here after 5 visits, you get $5 off :)Thanks Emily!

Traveling on business and had to stay over the weekend so thought I'd treat myself with a mani pedi. Found this place on Yelp as I'm staying nearby. Great job by the ladies who did my nails. Polite, friendly and made my nails look great. Haven't had this in a while so they did a great job fixing up my old and  tired hands and feet. They did hands and feet at same time so I was done in an hour. Bonus!Place was pleasant and clean. Easy parking and access to main road.  And pricing is competitive and fair. I'd go back again. Thanks for making my weekend away from home a little better. Read Less
