I drove 40 minutes for their good reviews to get chrome nails. Talked with two different techs about the chrome process, how it changes color, etc.—just for the tech actually doing my nails to “forget” and finished me with a regular manicure saying she “already put the top coat on”. Then proceeded to ask me if I still wanted chrome with the obvious implication that we would need to start completely over if I said yes. The color is nice and my tech was very friendly, though I expect better communication and professionalism for a good review. I feel like I just paid $50 for something I could’ve done better at home.

Kayla did a beautiful job! My appt was at 5:30 and she started on my nails at 5:17. The salon was clean and calm, and all the techs were so nice. My 6 year old daughter was with me and she got a gel manicure as well (I didn’t get the tech’s name, but she was so friendly and kind and made my daughter comfortable). After the appointment she said it was “the best day ever” 😊 as far as the nails go, my daughter’s gel manicure was perfect! Smooth and flawless! And the acrylics Kayla did are beautiful - so lightweight, not thick and bulky. I got solid colors on the outside nails and French tips on the middle two and the lines are meticulous. I will definitely be back and plan on scheduling with Kayla again 🩷

First time at this salon and I will definitely be back. My nail tech Mary was so awesome. She took her time and made sure I liked it every step of the way. She listened to me and was so nice. It can be hard to find a nail tech that will let you play out your vision, but Mari nailed it! The vibe of the salon is really nice too. So calming and relaxing. Cant wait to be back!

I’m a longtime customer and I absolutely love getting my nails done here. My stylist, Wendy, is amazing and helps me with my color decisions. Together we come up with some fun choices. Ari, the receptionist is friendly and fun, too. I highly recommend them! Make an appointment today!
