This was the very worst nail salon I have ever been to. There was only one woman working and she did a terrible job on my gel fill. She was sanding my nails and hurting my cuticles with the sander. She ended up making me bleed on multiple fingers. She got irritated with me when I asked her to please be careful not to cut me. All my nails were different shapes and filed all crazy. She left sand all around my nails and sand bits under the polish as she told me I couldn’t wash my hands before she polished my nails. This review deserves 0 stars! No one should waste their money at this place. Final thought...you really get what you pay for. Read Less

Never again will I go there. I just moved back home and went in to get a set put on. I asked for coffen style nails. I walked out with flat misshapen nails. Every flipping nail is a different shape and length and flat. She grinder my nails down so much my nails are fat and flat ( wider than my actual nail bed) I'm pissed and they will not get my business ever again on Read Less

I asked for a pedicure and the woman only gave me a polish change but then rubbed cream on my legs and tried to get me to pay for a pedicure. I wouldn't do it and she argued with me in front of her customers. It's too bad because she was very kind when I first walked in and they seem like really nice people. But she spent seven minutes on my toes and didn't cut my cuticles. My daughter and her friend also got polish changes and there was polish on their fingers. When I asked her to clean up the polish on my daughters fingers she was very irritated and kept saying she couldn't see where there was any polish even though it was all over her fingers. This might be a really good place but they started to get exceptionally busy and I think instead of turning people away they said yes to everyone and then they rushed through their clients. Unfortunate experience. Perhaps on a slow day they're good. Read Less

If I could give this no stars I would. We arrived a group of four having a girls nail date. Only one woman was working. I started first with my shellac manicure. She filed my nails, didn't trim my cuticles, and no hand rub. My nail polish was not as shown on the model nail. As I was getting my nails done went the other three say there waiting. My sister went next with a traditional manicure. This looked like a 10 year old did it. Again no cuticles or hand massage. The polish was all bubbly and the nail woman didn't even put her under a dryer to harden the nails. She felt them and said they are good after 5 minutes. We left and the minute we got in the car two nails were messed up. This nail salon is not relaxing. I Would not recommend going here. Read Less

I've been to the salon twice. Last summer, 2015, when a young man did my toes. The salon was full of clients. Good sign? Nope. Most everyone was sullen, complaining about the work done and generally a dismal atmosphere.  My pedicure was sloppy and painful. My feet were scrubbed violently and I protested by saying ,"you are hurting me!". He laughed at me!Time marches on...late spring 2016 one more try, the salon - totally empty ,I took a chair and and in less then 20 minutes I was finished, paid and getting into my car!My cuticles were ripped , nails shredded and polish seemed to run and remained tacky for hours. I took off the polish at home a few hours later.I suspect the tools they used were not sharp, the attitude of owner is lacking! And I suspect the nail polishes are cut with an  extender.Avoid the salon. They do not care about their work,safety or YOU.Just go down the street to CVS, buy some stuff and sit in the parking lot and do your nails. You'll be better off.Minus 3 stars. Not the one star I had to give for this review to be posted. Read Less

This was the WORST experience I have had getting my nails done on the cape. They are way over priced and did an awful job. Despite being the only customer in the salon, he rushed through my pedicure. It probably took a total of 15 minutes. He missed many spots on my nails and left polish on my skin. They don't take cards, only cash. I will never go back. Read Less

I got a "so called" french pedicure and it was by far the worst I ever had, the nail tech attempted several times to paint the white strip at the top of the nail but it resulted it her actually painting half of my nail white, she then tried going back several times to make the strip smaller but it ended up being completely uneven and looked awful, the white polish was all over my toes too. I have a  second home in Chatham so the location is convenient but I will never go back. Read Less

So I thought the person who wrote the review saying that you'd be better off having a kindergartener paint your nail was being dramatic.  Nope, she is not being dramatic.  I walked in for a pedicure and the place was empty so they were able to take me immediately.   But, then two appointments showed up.  So my pedicure took about twelve minutes.  They didn't clean my nails, my big toe is filed crooked and the polish is sloppy.  To be fair she did try to fix the polish with remover.  I wasn't here for a relaxing experience - my vacation toes were just getting chipped and I needed new polish.  I would have been better off doing it myself.  And it was $25 dollars.  I'm mad that I even agreed to pay but I wasn't sure what to do and I'm on vacation and don't feel like fighting with people.

I'm not sure why people have left such bad reviews, they aren't reflective of my experience. There were no overt health code violations or unsanitary practices that I saw. I got a mani-pedi and I thought it turned out well. Fancy spa quality? No, but it was exactly what could be expected from a cheap, strip mall nail salon. And truth be told, there's nothing wrong with that if the price is right (which, for $37 it absolutely was). The walk-in wait was about 15 minutes long, but once the manicurist saw me, I felt she took her time and gave me a decent mani-pedi. As someone previously mentioned, it's a good place to go for a last minute "I forgot to do my nails" job. Read Less

A great place. It is summer and they are open 7 days a week! I made an appt, but I was the only name in the book. Mostly walk-ins. They are fast and thorough. It is a family run operation and even the guys work there doing nails. Great polish selection (OPI and another brand I forget). I got a mani-pedi for only $37. That's great!!! I saw a 20-something pay for her mani (I had the seat right next to the front desk) and she left NO TIP. Shame on her. Read Less
