Customer Review Summary

Full sets of acrylics draw the most attention, and the reviews split sharply on execution. A few praise specific results, one reviewer credits a set of matte acrylic nails with finally breaking a lifelong nail-biting habit, and another says the nail tech found the exact colors she wanted and the set lasted until her next visit. But just as many describe rushed full sets, with one reviewer's cuticles cut too low and left painful, other sets called crooked or bumpy from drill work, and a French tip that turned out to be plain white polish over regular nails instead of proper tips. Pedicures come up almost as often, including complaints about being nicked during drill work and one detailed account of an uncleaned pedicure tub and a dropped cuticle tool reused without sanitizing. A separate reviewer reports spotting a cockroach. Eyebrow shaping earns direct praise from a walk-in customer, and several note appointment times are not respected, with waits regardless of whether one calls ahead.

    “I'm new to the area so I walked in the nail tech told me to sign in very professionally! The place was super clean! I got my eyebrows done the lady did an amazing job! I give her two thumbs up!”
  • Sophia Contreras
    “Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Super dirty, they don’t put a liner on the pedicure tub, they did not clean it between customers. The man doing my nails was using a tool to push my toe cuticles back, he dropped the tool in the ground and then picked it up and continued to use the same tools that was on the ground without sanitizing, they did not use gloves. There are bubbles all over my nails. When they removed my dip nails the person doing my nails used an old fake nail and his own nails and ripped the dip off my nails, after me telling them to stop ripping them off and soak them instead.”

    “I went there and asked for french tips full set. the guy did not do french tips. he just placed white fake nails (instead of placing transparent nails and paint them as french) I got a regular polish (which what I asked for) They …”

    “Once again I regret going here. Their pedicure service is better but their full set acrylics is the WORST! I came in at 5pm. Once I came, the lady did my pedicure for an hour. Then Tom did my full set. He rushed through it because they were closing at 7pm and he ended up cutting my cuticles too low so it’s painful now. For a French tip it looks very mediocre and like a child did it. To make matters worst I saw a COCKROACH. Never going back for sure.”
