I have been getting my nails done at First Nail Spa since they opened. I always have such a wonderful experience at this nail salon! From the moment I walk in, I am greeted with warmth and professionalism. The atmosphere is clean, relaxing, and beautifully decorated, which immediately relaxes me. My nail technician is incredibly skilled and attentive, making sure every detail is perfect. The quality of the products they use is top-notch, and my manicures and pedicures always look stunning. What stands out most is the care and kindness of the staff—they truly go above and beyond to make me feel valued. What I truly love and appreciate is that every visit (every 3 weeks ) feels personal — the staff greets me by name, reminding me I’m more than just a client. Whether I’m looking for a simple polish change or a creative design, this salon delivers excellence every time. I always leave feeling pampered, refreshed. I highly recommend First Nail Spa to anyone who wants both beauty and a positive experience!

“I had such an amazing experience here! I got acrylic/dip powder with a design, and they turned out absolutely perfect. The shape, the smoothness, the colors — everything was exactly what I asked for. They took their time with the details and made the design look so clean and sharp. The salon is super clean, everyone is friendly, and they really make you feel taken care of. I’m obsessed with my nails — definitely my new go-to spot!

The technician took her time to make sure every detail was perfect and helped me pick the ideal color. The salon itself is spotless and beautifully maintained. Everything felt fresh, sanitized, and organized, which made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed. You can tell they really care about hygiene and customer satisfaction. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive from start to finish. I left feeling pampered and with nails that look absolutely stunning! I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for top-quality nail work, especially dipping powder, and a clean, relaxing environment. I’ll definitely be coming back! 💅✨
