I got a full gel acrylic set there and it was absolutely beautiful at first, but then they continued to pop off yell I was doing things around the house. two weeks later I got my fill-in and now they have continued to pop off, I don't even want to go back there for them to take them off, so I took them off at home because my nail beds have continued to burn for over 3 1/2 days. So no don't go here if you plan to get acrylic sets. Read Less

They were very pushy to buy more services. They also made rude comments about hands, feet , and eyebrows. They are very rough and when I flinched on accident she gave me a dirty look. They didn’t ask how much money I wanted to spend on my pedicure or if I even wanted a manicure. The water was so hot I couldn’t put my feet in it and she wouldn’t change the temperature. I would not recommend come here. Read Less

I love the salon, it has good prices and everyone is relatively friendly. I like Henry but he does not do a good job on my nails. Every time I go to him my nails are not done well, they break and chip. I believe the owner needs to pay more attention and possibly help or train him better. I love how Pamela and Tom do nails, they both take their time and are perfectionists like I am. I will go back, will try not to have Henry do my nails again. Also, people are friendly, but they do not talk to you and it makes you feel sort of uncomfortable. They do speak in their native language to each other which is fine, but it makes you feel like they are talking badly about you which is a little uncomfortable as well. I just want the owner to know about these issues and how the customers feel, but they really probably already do or at least they should be able to pick up on this. If they train Henry a little better and learn to make small talk better I would give them 5 stars. Read Less

I love this place. Have been going to Tom and Tina for years. Reading some of these reviews I can understand being upset, but you have to find a nail tech like you do a hair stylist. Yes one of the guys is a little rough with the pedicures, but almost all of them are really good. Tom and Tina are the owners, so they are going to give 110% every time. Pam is great for pedicures because she massages a little harder and gets in there. I use to bleed all the time from manicures because of how bad my cuticles were. If you bleed, it's probably because you don't take care you your nails or bite them which is what I use to do. If you don't like something then say it, they will fix it immediately. I've had a fuzzy stuck to my no-chip and they noticed it before I did and redid my whole nail. I've been to some other really terrible nail salons, this one offers THE best experience and the cleanest. I highly recommend this place. Read Less

Bad experience here this past weekend with my daughter. My girl was so rough that the table was shaking. She cut my cuticle which would not stop bleeding. No compensation offered. Other person had a regular walk in, rushed through my daughters mani and didn't even get all way down to bottom of nail with polish, leaving a ridge. They put my daughter under the hand dryer and didn't bother to  turn on dryers. Lastly there were nail clippings on floor from a pedi not cleaned up. Used to be a go to place. Never again. Read Less

I am really shocked at how awful this was! I went off of the previous reviews that this was a decent nail salon. Unfortunately this is just not so. I would seriously give this no stars if I could!I brought my sister here as a treat for her graduation-we both got pedicures done. I am a licensed nail technician and I really should have known better than to go to a chop shop like this. Both of our 'nail techs' dug right into the corners of our toenails and clipped way too far back-I am really praying this does not cause us painful ingrowns. My toenails are completely disfigured. There was way too much nipping action going on and after a third round of digging into the corners of my toes, I paid the price-he clipped a big chunk of my skin. I jumped and said, "OW!". There was no acknowledgement and he just went about his job. When it came to polishing my toes, that's when he saw blood pooling down my nail that he tried to stop the bleeding.  The polish job was thick and gunky. One big toe had an obvious fuzzy underneath the polish. The worst was that my nail tech had dirty long fingernails and kept cleaning up the polish job with them-EW! I was annoyed at the gunky polish job on both of us so when we got home we both removed our polish. My toe still continued to bleed during this time. Upon closer examination, there was a big flap of skin sticking out where he clipped right into. I am really mad at myself that I went to a place like this. I am so sorry I brought my poor sister here to 'treat' her. If you care about the health of your nails, pay the extra money to go to a reputable salon and have quality work done! BEWARE! Read Less
