PLEASE BEWARE!! This place is going down the drain, and fast! I needed a couple weeks to get over the humiliation of what happened to me here on July 14th. My best friend and I have been coming here since they opened and I always had Lisa and Vivian for my pedicure. We got our nails done 3 weeks prior and out of nowhere I was charged about 30.00 more than usual which I did not realize until after we left because my friend paid our bill (about 250.00 between the two of us each time we go) and I was across the room at the time so I did not hear the price. I had a fill and my usual bling (no 3D work) while my friend had to get a new set, ombre, 3D flowers on 6 fingers, and bling on all her toes and most of her nails. What I had done did not compare to what she had done money-wise and she was charged 25.00 less than I was. (I admittedly always get intricate nails so that is not the issue). Rather than call her and ask I THOUGHT we had an established enough of a relationship that I could inquire about the cost when we went back. I wasn't asking for a refund, or a credit, I just wanted an idea since I've had much more elaborate nails almost every month previously, and NEVER paid that much & I've never had to question them before. So before she got started on my nails I asked her about it in the back of the shop, so quietly that my friend sitting next to us didn't even hear, and she became HOSTILE. She basically accused me of lying, asked how does she know that's the price she charged 3 weeks previously. Again, I've never questioned them and consider myself a decent client, even bringing all the employees donuts more than once, giving Christmas presents to Lisa and Vivian, etc. She said it takes 2 1/2 hours to do my nails which has always been fine with me, I understand the time needed for the nails I get but that time would be cut down if she didn't have to answer the phone and walk away from me a dozen times to get the appointment book or go fix a broken nail on a walk-in. "How am I to know why I charged you $$$ after you wait 3 weeks to ask me" she said. I apologized for waiting that long, told her I sincerely didn't think it would be a big issue and I wasn't angry, I just wanted to know (as I showed her my nails and toes) the break-down so I could be more aware in the future. I also added that I loved her work, appreciated her, and didn't ever want to have to go anywhere else. Here's the issue, THEY ONLY TAKE CASH so there are no receipts or back-up for this very reason I suspect. How could she not just look at my nails and toes and give me a rough breakdown? My toes are always 32.00, that part is easy. Why couldn't she look at my nails, that she did, and not tell me why the designs I had were the price that she charged? SO HERE IS THE KICKER..... I was still quiet & complimentary the entire time this went down and she was so hostile and obviously was caught ripping me off so she announced she was too upset and could not work on me that day AND WENT AND HID IN THE BACK ROOM for an hour, leaving me sitting there (the sweet lady had already started my pedicure) humiliated, embarrassed, and in tears. The three ladies still working on my friend and I were left not knowing what happened and were visibly uncomfortable. CHECK OUT THEIR YELP REVIEWS. It has become apparent that longtime customers are now unhappy and leaving, and Lisa's attitude is mentioned several times. I'll NEVER go back. It's so sad that this place which is still relatively new has gone downhill so quickly. Breaking up with a nail guru is always more painful to me than breaking up with a boyfriend, so I am still stunned that she reacted the way she did. The situation did not warrant that reaction and they have now lost two faithful, longtime customers. Read Less
