Customer Review Summary
Free style nail designs draw the most repeat praise, with several longtime regulars saying one technician "always does the best free style designs" and returning for years because the work is affordable and fast with no appointment needed. Close behind, a vacationer having a full set done praised the technician for being thorough and efficient, finished within about fifty minutes, and another reviewer said a different technician did such a good job that they skipped color because the nails "look natural." Not every visit matched that standard, though: one reviewer describes a gel refill that came out lumpy and clumsy, with polish that never reached the tip or sides of the nail bed, leaving them needing it fixed elsewhere despite paying just days earlier. A separate reviewer reports the technician "made me bleed and wasn't painting my whole nail." Most other accounts describe a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff.

“experience was okay. my nails however, horrendous. I went in last Sat 04/18 to get a gel refill.. pretty sure it was not gel and acrylic, even though she kept telling me yes when I asked numerous tims.. My last set (not from this location) was over a month old and still in great shape. Mine now are lumpy, clumsy looking, barely filed aroun the nail bed for the natural appearance. the polish doesn't go to the tip of the nail. I truly regret getting annoyed at the 3 other ladies who complained each step of the way. I have one hanging on to dear life because the "gel" never made it to either sides of the nail bed. So I need to find somewhere else in AC to have my nails redone when we frequent in and out. NOT to mention find somewhere to make these look less like a fresh graduate who passed by 1 point and pay someone to fix them when I paid for a refill less than a week ago..”
