This was my first visit to this salon and it did not disappoint! The salon was clean, quiet, and had a calm vibe.the lighting was bright so I could see all the nail color choices easily. I was greeted right away and signed in on the iPad. There were about 3 other people receiving services and I was helped right away. My nail tech, Mary, was quick and efficient. She did a builder gel fill with cat eye polish in 40 minutes. The nails have a great shape, even length, and the polish is clean and not streaked or bubbled. She was friendly but not pushy and did not try to upsell me on additional services. I will be coming back and requesting Mary again. I paid $50 for the fill plus $15 for cat eye. They accept cash and cards as well as other payments.

Tanya always does an amazing job! And the entire team at the salon is so friendly. Iโ€™ve only been going here for a couple of months, but they always remember my name and it feels like Iโ€™ve been going here for years just based on the way that they treat me. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone! Iโ€™m so happy with my nails every single time. I hope they never close because I never want to have to go anywhere else

I went into the salon with an emergency and they helped me right away. Tiffany got my old set off in a gentle manner with patience and precision. She gave me a full set of new nails and recommended ombre for the pink and white and they look beautiful. The last salon I went to cut my nails down so short I couldn't even get a pink and white done in any manner fashion or form. I found a new salon & a new nail tech and I couldn't be more thrilled. In fact I'm going to make an appointment and go get a pedicure later on this week.

I brought in a photo of what I wanted for my fingernails and Bella was able to recreate exactly as it was in the picture. It looks great! Tanya did my pedicure and both of them were friendly and very talented. I will definitely be going back!
