Love coming here! Everyone is so nice. They truly make sure you feel welcomed and relaxed. Today’s visit I was extremely happy with the services on my nails. I got an easy gel manicure but she really took care of them. They are literally perfect!

First time at the Retro Nail bar and they have satisfied my needs. I got gel builder with a tip and Rachel did such a perfect job on my nails. Not only did she pay attention to detail but also asked me throughout the service if I was satisfied with what she was doing. And for Grace, she was so sweet and gave me such a relaxing massage and offered me a drink. I felt so pretty and pampered, Rachel and Grace were so kind. I will definitely be going back.

Great experience today!! Set of Gel x nails done by Rachel. Finished with an airbrushed ombré they look fantastic. Grace did my pedicure and I couldn’t be happier.

Clean, friendly and knowledgeable. I am doing work in the area and decided to get a pedicure, which was much needed. These ladies were quick but very thorough. I was scared to do a mani because I had a few hang nails and my cuticles were really bad. I showed them my hands and was reassured that they would be able to and make sure to be gentle during the process. So glad I trusted the ladies here as they cleaned me up very nice and were indeed very gentle with my sensitive skin. Although I’m not from the area, I would definitely make the trip back to them whenever I am near.
