Kim does an amazing job. Very professional and goes above and beyond. Very clean and small comfy place. Perfect for a relaxing peaceful 5 star pedicure. She is very sweet and caring helpful and did an amazing job removing my ingrown toenails with no pain. I will definitely be going back every month to her for all my future pedicures. She even took the time to call me later that night to make sure I was satisfied with her job. Best in town by far.

I had to get old set removed, looked awful. I stumbled on Kimโ€™s little shop merely by accident. I opened the door and she was very friendly and welcoming! Kim said no problem I can remove and make beautiful. She was absolutely right! She made them look amazing and classy! Definitely will go back!
