Customer Review Summary
Manicures and pedicures draw repeat customers who describe the work as consistently beautiful, with several regulars noting the staff's creativity in matching a requested photo or color and calling the results some of the best nails and toes they've had, quick service, and friendly employees they won't take their business elsewhere from. Close behind that praise sits a real split in experience: one reviewer describes a full set finished in about 20 minutes that started lifting at the sides within days, and another reports a pedicure called generic and a fill where polish looked sloppy and nails cracked at the cuticles, paired with a complaint about poor communication and rude treatment. Where the visit goes well, customers return again and again for the same technicians; where it doesn't, the complaint centers on rushed timing and durability. One first-time visitor mentions stopping in on a whim while killing time nearby and leaving pleased with the outcome.

“Went in last week had a man do my nails. Overall they turned out ok but only a few days later the sides of my nails started lifting off. I was only in there for a full set for maybe at most 20 mins, felt very rushed; used to be my go to place as they are the only ones who carried the color I love but I guess time to find somewhere else where the nails last longer then 3/4 days”

“They were so rude. I thought I’d give them a try. Pedicure was one of the laziest generic ones I’ve ever had. Communication very poor. Then I had a nail fill, on each nail showed cracks at side of cuticles. The nail polish seriously looked like a three-year-old painted my nails. One of the most unprofessional places I’ve ever been!!! They should be embarrassed. Pretty cars are semi fair but considering the end result, overpriced.”
