Kirsten Kalkut
Cherry was amazing! This is the 2nd time she’s done great work at dl nails thanks you again for your amazing work! ❤️
Natalie Johnson
Just had my first appointment ever here. And it was excellent. I got a young lady named cherry . She was so sweet. And she really took care of me. My feet were crusty. ( don’t laugh ) but my feet definitely needed extra treatment. And she spent a lot of time getting me right. She also did my manicure which also she took her time with. Thank you again cherry you now have a new customer.
Stephanie Ngelezi
I found DL Nail Bar, 2 years ago and hate going anywhere else. I've finally found "my spot". Every single staff member greets me and my mother when we go in together or separately, asks about our family and lives, listen to our requests and we always leave satisfied. They are the cleanest facility I have ever been to. They serve wine and water (an added bonus). Stephanie and Luna are the best!!! They are all great though! 5+ stars from me!
Sumer Lajeunesse
By far one of the worst experiences. Booked builder gel manicure and the gentleman refused to do it. Gave me a regular gel manicure. Was annoyed that he forgot to chrome my nails. My pedicure was terrible - left my heel peeling. I have paint all over my hands. My toes do look nice if you don’t look at the rest of my feet. —- and for this was charged 116 dollars????
Linda Davis
I had a pedicure a month ago I did Not get the person I requested, I was given Cherry, she decided to sign my name herself on my receipt, I asked for a pen and she says I signed it,caught me off guard,I recently went again waited about 30/35 min and I had appt, I finally had the one I requested, did a good job. The place is always clean and you have about a week if there is a nail problem to be replaced.2 1/2 stars I would give.
