Customer Review Summary
Nail quality here is described as highly dependent on which technician handles the appointment, with one longtime tech drawing repeated praise for detail and professionalism, credited with poly gel and powder manicures on natural nails lasting three to four weeks at reasonable prices, and also singled out for gracefully fixing a rushed set from another tech. Others highlight a gel manicure and pedicure combo done quickly and thoroughly, with techs checking in on clients throughout. A thirteen year old's custom nail art is mentioned as exceeding the reference photo. Close behind the praise sits a real split: some reviewers report that the same popular technician was rude, unprofessional, and inconsistent on pricing, with one describing favoritism toward certain clients even with appointments booked. Others describe appointments getting rushed when a new client walks in, and one reviewer notes a dip manicure that held on only three nails by day ten. Prices are called competitive by multiple reviewers.

“Beware of Linda (also known as Santa). My experience with her was very unpleasant. She was rude, aggressive, and unprofessional. I felt that I was treated poorly. I was also unhappy with the quality of my nails and eyebrows after my appointment. The other staff members were kind and professional, but I would not recommend booking with Linda/Santa she’s aggressive and bad for business she brings the quality down.”
- Saba Zewdu
“I recently moved back to the area and loved my friends nails. She referred me to Linda. She is super sweet, patient, she has soooo many clients but still tries to make time for you! Recently, she gracefully fixed my nails that another tech rushed on- which I appreciated. I have natural nails and she uses poly gel or powder which is between 45-55 bucks (on natural nails), lasts about 3-4 weeks + Reasonable prices The photo with my longer nails is poly gel and the shorter is powder.”

“I have been coming here for a few years. Not sure what’s going on. I have experienced when I’m getting my nails done if someone else comes in that has an appointment then there is a rush getting my nails finished. I don’t like this it’s not …”
