Clients arrive without booking ahead and are seen at the counter as chairs become available. The salon opens daily, giving flexibility to visitors who need a slot outside a typical weekday schedule. Its walk-in format suits both regulars and people passing through New Bern who want service without planning around a fixed reservation time.

Customer Review Summary
That praise sits against a real split in experience: multiple reviewers describe sloppy work, including a French tip that needed correcting and a pedicure that worsened on a repeat visit with the same technician. Others report rude or dismissive treatment, one citing a technician distracted by her phone who pushed upselling, and another turned away for a simple thumb nail repair. Several of these reviewers say they won't return.
