Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for pedicures, with several praising the soak, scrub, and leg massage and calling the results great every time. Gel polish full sets draw some of the same enthusiasm, with one first-time customer describing natural-looking, uniformly shaped nails and neat, even polish application. Close behind that praise sits a recurring complaint about durability and service pace: multiple reviewers describe acrylics and gel polish peeling or coming off within days, techs who "flew through" appointments in minutes without listening to shape requests like oval versus almond, and one visit marred by nail dust left around the space. One reviewer reports being charged for two pedicures and refused a requested removal and replacement for her daughter's nails, being told instead to accept a fill-in, and that the salon only accepted cash. Despite these breakdowns, several regulars say they return specifically for the pedicures and trust the artistic license given for nail designs.

“This was my first time visiting this nail salon, and it was a great experience! I paid $45 for my gel polish pedicure that came out wonderfully. I received a thorough soak, scrub, and lower leg massage. So worth it!”
- Brianne
“the nails came out super good don’t get my wrong but the place was dirty with nail dust everywhere the staff were rude didn’t take there time rushed through and pushed back out appointments.”
- Mae
“the girls that work here are the best, very affordable and they do a good job every time!”
- Jennifer Carlson
“Went in for a pedicure and full set and was not happy with either. Asked for an oval shape, with a picture, and was given an almond shape. The tech didn’t seem to be interested in listening to what I wanted or interested in making sure I was happy. The whole process was rushed. Went there on the recommendation of a friend and ended up going to my regular place so that they could fix what was probably the worst nail service I have received.”
- Tiffany Bassett
“They charged $150 for 2 pedicures and REFUSED to take off my daughter’s nails and replace them because it was “too much work” and she should “be happy with a fill in”. They ONLY TAKE CASH and their work is less than mediocre. Don’t waste your money here.”
