Customer Review Summary

Pedicures draw the most consistent praise, with several reviewers naming specific techs who were gentle, unhurried, and skilled with ingrown toenails, and one longtime customer returning mainly for pedicures over many years. Gel X manicures also earn enthusiasm as "a game changer," and the atmosphere is described by some as friendly enough to feel like "a get together with friends." Full sets draw the sharpest complaints, though: reviewers describe rushed acrylic application, cuticles left unmaintained, tips coming off within days, and one customer whose requested shape was done the opposite way. Gel manicures also drew a complaint about chipping within about a week of service. A few reviewers describe rough handling and dismissive attitudes when they called to complain afterward. Despite this split, pedicures keep several reviewers returning, with more than one explicitly recommending the salon for that service specifically.

    “I needed to get my nails done for a wedding this weekend. I am not a girlie girl so I didnt know what I wanted and when I went in I told them and they hooked me up!! I think the girl that did mine was Becky.(if I got your name wrong I am sorry) you were so nice and did an amazing job! I will definitely come back again to at least get a pedicure, it was such a great experience. Thanks for being so sweet and understanding to someone who at 51 yrs old knew nothing about getting a manicure or pedicure”

  • Zoe Plummer
    “Spent $116 for a gel mani pedi for it to chip within a week (2/13/25-2/20/25). Spent way more time on the pedi than the mani. Not impressed!”
  • Lisa Scott
    “By far this is the best place to get a pedicure, the owner is fantastic and she remembers everyone that comes in! Today I had Oksana, I always have ingrown toenails and she was very gentle and did a great job! Highly recommend”
