The owner did my nails I asked for a shape and length and for her to cut my real nails down and put a tip . She wouldn’t do as I asked I have been there a couple of times and it always seems like it’s a problem . They are not the shape that I wanted nor the length. If I pay good money for them to be done how I want them they should be not how they want them . I will never go back !!!! Read Less

I like the lady that does my eyebrows. She does a great job and her prices are cheaper than the other places around time which is an added bonus!!!

The first time I had my nails done at this salon it was done by the owner.  I had a fill-in and was quite pleased.  Abt two weeks later I went in for the same thing and this time the manicurist was his wife.  She said I needed to have my nails removed, which she charged me for.  They did not have to be soaked off just removed using clippers.  I decided to try the SNS type this time.  First of all she cut my real nails so, so short!  I told her they were so short I would need tips but all she said was 'they will grow'.  Then she didn't buff the nails to make them smooth after removing the old fill-in but proceeded to do the SNS style.  I wasn't at all pleased with how she did the white, way too wide, which she corrected.  She only put one clear coat over the  nails.  The next day I noticed it looked like bubbles on the nails and the white was wearing off.  No doubt because there was only one light coat of clear to seal everything and because the nails weren't buffed.  I would have returned but we had left Lexington for a trip.  I'm afraid the owner will loose business if his business partner doesn't improve her nail techniques. I for one won't be returning.  I also noticed the nail instruments were not cleaned or wiped off. Read Less

Worst nail salon experience I have ever had. I'm still in shock about how painful the gel mani was and bad the customer service was. Decided to give this place a try for a gel manicure, the girl was so rough on my cuticles 3 of them started to bleed, not a little but a lot to the point where it was covering the outside of my nail. I have never ever had that happen ever out of the countless manicures I've gotten in my life. So obviously that hurt, no apology at first. So some guy who looked like maybe a manager came and stood over me and was talking to her. After that she apologized and asked me to go wash my hands. I did, and they were still bleeding. For reference... I don't have any sort of bleeding problem and again have never had a cuticle bleed, so she really really messed them up and it was painful.So without warning she put some substance onto a little cotton swab and started pressing/wiping it onto my cuticles that were bleeding. OUCH! They felt like they were burning, I actually said "oh my god what is that stuff ouch?" And she tried to explain it was something that would block the bleeding and said "yes it is going to burn so sorry." Well thanks for the warning. At that point I was in so much pain I was about to walk out and I told her you know what I don't need the polish I'm going to go. She frantically convinced me to stay and brought me out a bottle of water. She painted my nails and the gel looked fine, but now 20 minutes after leaving the salon my cuticles are still throbbing.So I go to check out clearly in discomfort thinking she would offer it for free or a discount... NOPE! She said that will be $30 (granted that's totally reasonable for a gel manicure but that's the regular full price) so no offer for a discount to compensate for the horribly painful experience I had. I would never go back and would recommend others not to risk, it's not worth paying $30 to be in pain. Read Less

My feet always feel baby soft and all calluses and dead skinned removed ...might sound gross, but feet in the summer get dry. Definitely ask for Tom. He usually works 7 days a week & can do walk ins easily between 9:30am -11am before other workers arrive. Read Less
