Customer Review Summary
Acrylic sets and gel manicures, including a cat-eye gel style, draw repeat praise, with several longtime clients returning specifically to one favored nail technician for years, some driving in from Burke County, and describing consistent, detail-oriented results and friendly service. One customer says the salon corrected a bad set done elsewhere, and another highlights being pleased with the customer service and thanking staff by name recognition of the fix. Against this, a recurring complaint surfaces around paint application quality when a preferred technician isn't available: two separate reviewers, each unable to get into the salon's sister location, describe bubbles in the polish, paint left on surrounding skin, an unpolished nail patch, and a pedicure that smudged after several hours from overly thick layers. Both still noted the shop was clean and staff were pleasant despite the paint issues. The salon accepts walk-ins alongside appointments.
