Out of town family and I had mani pedis done day before my wedding. My nails were a JOKE. 7 out of 10 of my nails pointed UP. This looked awful on my wedding! I didn't let anyone see my hands to show off my wedding ring! Of the 6 people who went, everyone agreed that their pedi was was a bit too rough. Damn! My pedi scrub left abrasion on my leg that did NOT feel nice on my honeymoon when I hit the ocean! I wound up popping off the horrible nails the morning of my honeymoon! I have been to better. The nail place in the mall is better! Save your $$ and go elsewhere- They were also very pricey. Better alternatives in this area Read Less

Was having a horrible day after the hair salon botched my should-have-been-easy color job. This place turned it right around. Very friendly and attentive staff, was immediately welcomed. Got pedicure going and had foil placed on fingers to immediately start dissolving the gel polish for the manicure following. Awesome nail artist, very creative and happy to accommodate.Read Less

I was taken here for my birthday 12/26 and had the worst experience every. 4 out of 10 of my fingers ended up bleeding because of the lady doing my nails clipping to much of my skin off. She spoke almost no English and was blaming me for my hang nail by chewing my fingers. I don't bite my fingers it is not a habit I have so I didn't appreciate being falsely accused of that due to the lack of her ability in her job. 3 fingers on one hand still are healing from this experience. I will never come back to this salon again!!! Read Less

This review is for my second time here. I was so excited to come back and try this place one more time. I was hoping that I would be able to get my nails done with Tam again but she was with another customer. So I sat down with the older lady and I as I was trying to explain what I wanted to be done to my nails, I know she didn't understand me. I noticed that my nails were crooked and that she was trying to do some really square shape with my nails. I wasn't happy so I asked if she could fix it but she just kept filing and they weren't getting any better. At this point I was just beyond annoyed and couldn't finish my manicure. She kept saying that I had no nail left and that's because she just kept filing them off! I paid for the work that she had done even though I shouldn't have, but I wasn't about to cause a scene. Needless to say, I won't be coming back here. Read Less

Based on yelp reviews I came in for the first time for a Pedi.  Tam greeted & welcomed me as I walked in, selected my polish and was immediately seated in the massage chair.  I appreciated the quiet, relaxing environment and the employees focused on their customer instead of  chattering to each other.    Best of all the salon did not smell of the typical "nail salon fumes".  I will definitely come again.

I am not one to get a mani/pedi more than once or twice a year, so I'm certainly not an expert when it comes to these things.  However, in preparation for a beach vacation I decided to get a manicure and pedicure.  I looked a bit on yelp for recommendations, but it's not used much in this area.  I ended up resorting to a location of convenience and figured that a place on Riverside would probably be clean and safe.On a Friday afternoon, I had no wait and the lady that helped me was very kind.  Unfortunately, it went downhill quickly from there.  During my pedicure she used a pumice stone not only on the bottom of my feet, but also on my legs and ankles.  The scrapes that resulted didn't feel too great in the ocean the next day.  Two and a half weeks later, the scabs are still there.The polish options were fairly limited, but I did find something acceptable.  Unfortunately, it was extremely thick.  It should've been thinned out or tossed a long time ago.  It was so thick that she couldn't get a good coat on my fingernails, so I chose another color.  That one was too thick also.  Suddenly a third option appeared.  That was too thick also.  At this point I had been there for two hours and just wanted to leave so we went with that color.  The coat was so thick that I continued to get new indentations on the polish the next morning.Like I said, the lady was very nice and apologetic.  Unfortunately, they seem to be too cheap to keep polishes in good condition.  The visit was far from relaxing and caused more anxiety than anything else.  It definitely was not worth the trip or the money.
