this place sucks!! i will never go here again. waited over an hour to get ONE nail fixed. she shaped the nail i needed fixed completely different from my others. then switched me to a different lady who was so rude in trying to help me pick the color i had on the rest of my nails. and then she painted my nails a completely different color and used regular polish instead of gel. NEVER go here horrible customer service. only person who knows what they are doing is tina. Read Less

0!!!!! I got a full set and pedi. The person who did my pedi literally brushed my heels with the pumice stone 3 times each heel and went straight to rinse and polish! I'm on my feet all day so I certainly didn't wanna waste money on something I could do at home. I wanted something enjoyable and relaxing. Actually worth the time and money. To top it off my polish was clumpy and all over the place. $30 for this mess?! I made them fix it immediately and still disappointed I paid for this mess. My nails weren't bad. I must say the staff is very pushy and rude. They rushed through every person who walked in just to get to their bank cards. Never again! Btw, I'm pregnant and so you can understand my frustration of a very poor pedi. Read Less

Though the staff were very friendly and they took me in right away, I got a gel manicure that started chipping and peeling off on its own after just two days. I felt like the woman who did my manicure rushed through it (I have never had a gel manicure take that little time) which caused it to peel so quickly. Really disappointed. Read Less

A verg nice shop, I was skeptical about it. I got a full set of acrylics amd my mom got a pedicure. Her pedicure was fast and well taken care of. My technician was very nice and did exactly what I asked for. Always checking that he was doing the right thing and if I wanted water. I have no complaints about this shop, I now have a local reliable salon that I can 100% trust! Read Less

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Service was rushed and my nails looked a week old when I was done. A guy friend of mine went in and asked them to redo the job they did because he said they looked horrible. When I asked the lady to fill them in more while I was in the seat getting them done the 1st time, she said, "They are supposed to look like that, and you don't want the acrylic going back on your nails too far." When they "fixed" the solution, another worker just filed my nails down and polished them again. I asked about them filling them in, which is what I wanted done correctly the first time, but he said I would have to pay for a fill or come back in two weeks. Read Less

It was always a pleasure to come to this place when I got my nails done.....overly expensive.....more than what I was use to coming from NY. But this was where I came to get my nails done. Recently I got my nails damage and to get them back I had to stop doing my nails as often. That being said the owner start treating me very poorly. When I would come to get my eyebrows done or when my young daughters came in for service. After giving my nails some time to heal I now do my nails on special occasions only. Today it's prom season and he strieght up told my daughter to back tomorrow.....we had a whole hour before close for a regular manicure. .....this was the second time he did this So I said poor business practice. "Every customer count" good business practice! Read Less

Back in December , I went to this nail salon to get my birthday nails done I asked for coffin so she proceeded to do them. 1. They were all un even and different shapes 2.they were all lumpy and not properly put on (different sizes) 3. The paint job was terrible . Oh wait , I'm not done yet .. I dried my nails .. And left the salon paying ($40) for acrylic (regular polish) .I got in to the car without barely touching anything my nail fell of !! She failed to the let acrylic dry so my nail was very soft it was so bendable. Will never go here again . The lady who did my nails was the first counter to the left when you walk it ... ! Read Less

It comes w a citrus sugar scrub, followed by a mint-clay-mud mask for your legs- then some really nice tingly lotion. the foot massage was wonderful, Ill be going there again.

I went here for a pedicure when I moved to Hamden and didn't really know better.  I'd say this was about 8-9 months ago.Either the pedicure technician was totally sidetracked or she was clueless.  She used a pumice stone on the wrong parts of my foot. (Think like having a brillo pad rubbed on the top of your hand, compare it to that)This resulted in scabs and ripped skin on the bottom of my foot.  You know, the annoyance of having that skin caught in the carpet while walking through my apartment a few days later.  Not pleasant.  I'll never go back.
