Ive been going here since the start of this business and now they can't even make an appointment or they said "we can't see anyone for nail" Really I go in and both Michelle and Helen are seeing clients but I should see another person in this salon. Which Ive lost my respect for this salon Im looking for another, yes they are close to my home but Im done. I don't recommend this place since they can't help their clients that help the at the start. I would have given them 1/2 star but I know they really don't care. Read Less

I've gotten to a lot of nail salons. But this one is by far the WORSE. Helen, one of the girls that works there did my nails, Did a horrible job! A nail broke 2 days after, so i had to go back to fix it. A day later another nail broke, I went back to fix it and she still got upset about me going back cause another nail broke. ( it broke while i was doing laundry) made me wait an hour to fix it, A DAY LATER another nail broke (while in the shower) i called and told them that i wanted a new set because i didn't have the time to be waiting an hour everyday for ONE nail, and she said that it was my fault cause i had "long nails". Overall, i don't recommend this place. Very bad costumer service, and horrible job on nails. Read Less

Terrible experience yesterday.  The boss must have not been there.  The manicurists were so mean and obviously making nasty comments in Vietnamese as the manicurist kept saying things and they'd look at me and smirk or nasty giggle.  They were doing that to the 3 other customers there too.   I was so uncomfortable there I couldn't wait to leave.  I guess it was a good thing that, even though I paid $10 extra for a sugar scrub to my legs, the sugar scrub lasted approx. 30 seconds.   Applied/washed off, that's it.   Don't waste your money on that.   I understand that English is not their favorite language but someone should tell those ladies to stop barking at people.  "MOVE FOOT" "YOU GO NOW"   A little kindness would go a long way.   I barely tipped and when I left I was in a bad mood.   Don't go there.

I hate to give a place only 1 star but it was horrible. I just needed a quick mani/pedi and it was literally around the corner from where I was. The customer service was ok, but the place was disgusting. The water was slimy, the massage was less than 3 minutes. I went in specifically for callous removal and left with them. There were 2 ladies sitting, one on the iPad and one on the phone. And there was dust and grime everywhere... Literally could run my finger over any service and it was covered in nail dust or just regular dust?! So gross. I wanted to tell them to get up and clean! Have some pride in the place you work at! It was seriously the grossest place, and it won't last if they don't get an overhaul. Don't waste your money. I paid $30 for 2 coats polish on my feet and 1 one my hands. The massage on my hands I refused because I felt the dust.. Gag. Read Less

I've been coming to Michelle since she opened her salon. She used to do my nails at another local salon she worked at and I loved how she did nails,so I followed her when she decided to go and open her own business. Every time I come in I usually call to make an appointment but her and the girls are always super nice and attentive to me and any guest I bring with me to get our nails done. I love coming here because I can zone out and relax while getting my fill and pedicure done. Thank you Michelle for always being so great! Read Less

Run! Fast and far! New to the area and stopped in for a pedicure. The place was a little busy, so I had hoped I had stumbled on to a good salon with regular clients.After about a 10 minute wait, I was directed to chair 1. Walked to the chair and saw a puddle of soapy water in the tub, leftovers from the prior client. I told the girl I would wait until the chair was cleaned before I sat down.The pedicurist came over, ran some water in the tub, put the plug in and told me it was ready. Ahhh, NOOO! That is not clean and I am not trusting you with my toes.Put my pretty red polish back in the polish station and left. I feel like I dodged a bullet and an infection.Please protect your health and avoid this place at all costs. Read Less
