They are very nice here and pleasant to talk to. But $100 only to have parts of my nails not even fully coated is unacceptable. Plus a tip on top of that. I wont be back. I asked if I could make my pedicure a gel one and the girl said i could and it wasnt too late and she could do it gel. and then she pretended not to remember what i said because they were out of time and wanted to go home. They didnt give a discount or anything for the inconvenience. They shouldnt take clients past 5pm if they arent able to give them what they are paying for and to pay attention to painting the entire nail. I had called in advance to ask if they had time to do both hands and feet. They should have been honest. Im going to have to get my nails done again soon because of all of the missing spaces on my fingernails not being done, not being painted completely. Theres no point in going back. I was just there last week and the next day my Nails have already chipped and paint has come straight off and my nails were filed and grinded so thin that they are just chipping off and scratching me

Visited the new location on Girard Street for a dip manicure. Appointment was at 5pm, I wasn't seen until 5:15. They serve lumpia & fruit while you wait, which is unusual but welcomed! Tina did my nails. The nail polish removal process was a little heavy handed, and I felt the drill burn/heat a few times. No cuticle care/cleaning was done.
Tina informed me the dip powder example nails weren't made yet, so I would have to choose my color from a big box of new dip powder tubs. I sat on the ground and picked through colors until I found a purple powder that looked bright, almost neon. After she put on a coat or two, I noticed it was looking extremely dark. I mentioned it, asking if it would lighten, and she gave an uncertain response and kept painting. I'll admit I should have pushed back at this point, but I assumed as the nail technician, she should be familiar with her materials & be able to advise me on color. She said even if it turned out darker than I wanted, she could fix it with a gel top coat.
We continued and it became clear it was NOT the color I selected. It was more than several shades darker, practically wine colored - something I would have had no way of knowing from the powder color itself. However, I'd been there an hour already and wasn't interested in staying longer, and she wasn't offering to fix or adjust the color in any way, so I ended up having to keep it. In the end, a gel top coat wasn't an option since it would just look muddy on top of an already dark color.
The manicure itself was fairly average (no nail thickness shaping or cuticle care, and sloppy edges) & reasonable for the price I paid ($40 after a 20% off promotion during their first week at the new location). I would have given a 3/3.5 star review, but the mishap with the color really frustrated me.
Update: 4 days in and I have chips on three nails

**UPDATE: this set also severely damaged my natural nails, all of them were thin as paper and very bendy. My pinky nail broke in half underneath the acrylic(without the acrylic itself breaking) it was very painful and I almost lost the entire natural nail underneath. My other pinky nail also had broke in half and almost my whole natural nail was no longer attached to the skin underneath. I am still dealing with the aftermath to this date, and having to take extra care to maintain the health and regrowth of my nails. I do not believe this place should still be in business nor would I ever recommend anybody to them**
I went here because I wanted acrylics done for my birthday and the reviews/photos looked good. I had an appointment set up. After she started my nails there were a few walk ins, and rather than telling them to come another time she sat them as well. She was working on three ppl at the same time. It felt very rushed and she didn’t take the time to shape my nails or apply the acrylic properly. She got the acrylic on my fingers and she didn’t clean up the underside of my nails so there’s still acrylic bits underneath the nails. They didn’t have the right materials or colors to do my original idea, I switched to a different reference pic and they also didn’t have the right base color. The difference between the quality of nails posted on their page vs what I got does not match. They weren’t what I wanted at all and I cried leaving the salon. The shaping is off as well as the color, it was a waste of $75 and 2hrs of my time :(

I love this place! My wife and I have been regular customers for a while. The ladies always do a great job. The pedicures are a treat for your feet. Went with my daughter for my first manicure. It was such a fun experience. No judgement, only positivity and encouragement for this older guy getting his nails done.

It was completely over priced. There were no listed prices for the different services that they offer. When I asked for a price list they acted like they didn’t know what I was saying. Just a basic nail salon, that’s totally over-priced.

I've been coming here for about a year off and on, I usually get my brows done which is what I did this last appointment. She ended up ripping off my eyebrow making it a patchy mess. She didn't mean to it was a honest mistake, they didn't charge me for it which I was grateful for. If I used a brow pencil it looked fine since there was enough hair left to shape it. 4 star is appropriate cause they handled the situation fine. Looking in the mirror they gave me actually was a good laugh cause it looked sooo patchy haha anyways I'm glad they didn't charge me and I'd go back. People are human and make the occasional mistake.
