My first visit to the nail bar, and it was such a wonderful experience! I was worried trying a new place but gave it a try after noticing good reviews with photos. Miki took exceptional care of my nails—so detailed and attentive. I got a beautiful cat-eye design and two extensions, and the results are stunning. The shape, shine, and finish are perfect, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m extremely satisfied and will definitely be coming back!

Damaged & lumpy Nails…This was my first time here. I normally go to my usual salon, but this place was close to work and I was on a tight schedule. The nail tech, Queenie, over-filed my nails when removing Gel-X, leaving them thin. She also used a USED NAIL FILE to shape my nails. When applying regular polish, it came out patchy and lumpy. After two coats she was about to finish until I pointed out that I could see my natural nail through the polish. She blamed it on my nails being “thin,” but I’ve only had Gel-X twice in my life and my nails have always been strong and healthy. The thinning happened here from over-filing. She offered a third coat, which helped slightly, but the polish is still uneven and lumpy. It’s fully dried, I haven’t touched anything, and I’ve been careful not to use my hands. The manicure is just bad quality. I paid full price and tipped 20%, but left with damaged nails and a manicure I can’t wait to remove. Now I have to grow my nails out to recover from this appointment. I’ll stick to my usual salon from now on. UPDATE: Nails are chipping after 14 hours and completely cracked after 24 hours. I’m terrified I will develop nail fungus because of the used file

Holiday manicure of my dreams 🎄I came in with a crazy idea for a Christmas design. Miki did an incredible job - my nails look better than the inspo pics. She’s a true artist and I couldn’t be happier!!! Gigi and the NB ladies are the best.

Miki consistently does the most AMAZING job with my nails, so talented with designs and they last 4-5 weeks no breaks or lifting. Love the nail bar.

Technician was lovely but this is the second (of two!) times I’ve been here where my dip has chipped within a week. And this is the third nail with an issue! Add to that, it’s more expensive than any other locations nearby for no better service. Unfortunately, i suggest you visit another salon.
