I have gone here before for gel nails with success so decided to give them a try for my acrylics. I could not be more disappointed. My nails are thick, very uneven, and the whole process was extremely painful. I told him twice I didn't like it but each time they got worse. I would recommend going anywhere but here if you want nice arcylics. Read Less

After a minimal issue I had during my first visit it was resolved graciously by the owner, Cong. Him and his wife have owned the business for 15 years and it shows! He was so kind to fix the problem and not guilt trip me along the way. As a customer sometimes your worried to bring up a dissatisfaction you have with the service, but Cong reassured me that everything was ok! He is a very nice man and we talked a lot during my visit. It's such a refreshing feeling knowing that a business cares about it's customers. The shop is small and quaint, not to busy so you don't feel like cattle. My nails look fantastic! Thank you very much. Read Less

Came here because of the great reviews. Not completely satisfied, the shape of my nails and my fill was ok. But the paint job was HORRENDOUS. I have to repainted them myself. It's annoying.

First off, my review has absolutely nothing to do with the customer service at this place. The nail technicians here were all friendly and kind, and they did a great job of handling my niece's (age 5) first kid manicure/pedicure. (Which is no small feat.) We came in as a wedding party, and four of us were grabbing manicure/pedicure sets, with one being french tip and one being gel. The comments I am making were across the board. While other people here have mentioned "everything is clean", I saw all the tubs being cleaned after the previous group, and it definitely wasn't up to par for cleaning out a motorized tub. Additionally, there wasn't any option to purchase a set of my own tools for the manicure/pedicure, and the sterilization sprays/cleaners were in the public bathroom. I wouldn't say I would necessarily trust that level of cleanliness. My mother (who is diabetic) decided not to do a manicure after seeing this.They were nice enough to do a third coat of polish to reach opacity for me, but they should have never tried to stop at two coats. The application was clearly not opaque, and my cuticles were a mess. The filing of all my nails was completely uneven, and I had asked for rounded squares and just ended up with rounded nails. I have to cut them some slack because I had an older technician, and they did a better job with painting my sister's french tips, but her nail shape and cuticles were still not up to par. The ladies here were friendly, and I would say it's a good place to bring along the kids, but don't expect a great manicure here. I usually am city-hopping between SF and Portland when I get my nails done, so my standards are set pretty high. This place would do in a pinch. Read Less

I love nail effecx. My nails always look great and they remembered me the second time I went there. And the pedicures are long and relaxing, you never feel rushed. I actually got told that they didn't have enough time to do my nails, instead of being rushed and getting crappy service. I appreciated that a lot! I highly recommend Nail Effecx Read Less
