Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out one particular nail tech, described by longtime clients as friendly, sweet, patient and detail oriented, and credited with fixing nails another tech had rushed. Poly gel or powder on natural nails is said to last about three to four weeks. A gel manicure and pedicure combo is praised as fast yet detailed, and one parent says a 13 year old's requested style came out better than the original photo. Other techs are called professional, quick and efficient. The same tech draws the sharpest complaints. Two reviewers call her rude and aggressive, with one accusing her of lying about prices and favoring certain clients even when others have appointments. Others say the experience varies greatly by tech. One reports a dip manicure with only three nails intact by day 10, and a client of several years describes being rushed whenever someone with an appointment walked in. Even so, one first-time visitor noticed techs checking on clients repeatedly during the service to make sure they were happy.

“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.”

“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.”
