//What you should come here for// Nail art (designs, ombre, jewels) or trendy shaping (i.e. Coffin). And it's CHEAP! I got coffin, ombre solar nails with 6 jewels for $28. //What you should not come here for//a leisurely/luxurious experience, or even a regular manicure. I repeat, do NOT come here for anything besides a full set with nail art and do not come here unless you have a 2-3 hour window of free time!--------------------------------------------------------The "X" is for "Xcellent" nail art. Your set will look fly AF walking out of here. You can bring a picture off instagram (the salon's handle is xxcelentnails407) and they WILL do it for you. This is a refreshing change from what most salons do, which is to either say they can't do something fairly simple (like Coffin shaping or leopard print design) OR they will say they can do it but 2 hours and 50 bucks later your nails look a hot mess.The "X" could also stand for not to "Xpect" luxury or even normal nail salon services. No cuticle care. Zero. None. Get your manicure somewhere else. You will not have your hands dipped in parrafin or massaged with lotion here. You will not be offered a glass of white wine. They do not offer waxing. They do not accept tips on credit card. For the best experience, you need to know exactly what you want before you walk in, ideally have a picture of the nails/designs you want.You will be herded like cattle. If you made an appointment with Kat or Jimmy, you will wait 30 mins to over an hour to sit in their chair, still warm and covered in the acrylic dust from the last customer, for no longer than 20 minutes. Appointments do not guarantee a short wait time by any means. Even so, I would not recommend being a walk in customer.The salon needs a good cleaning. There was hair and dust on the floor, splatters on the wall, and hella dust in the fan on Jimmy's desk. So I'm actually glad they didn't try to do a manicure on my hands, as I would not trust their tools at all. I would NEVER get a pedicure here, and I was sure to wash my hands well and apply tons of hand sanitizer after my service. As I said above, this place is good for one thing and one thing only. If they would step up their cleaning game and try not to overbook poor Kat and Jimmy, they could become truly eXcellent. Read Less
