This salon is amazing. I wasn’t happy with my original set of nails and wrote a review, and they got in touch with me and got me in fast to fix it for no extra charge. They were very apologetic and seemed genuinely concerned about my satisfaction with my nails. I will definitely be returning.

This is my go to place. I have contact dermatitis and it’s been hard to find a place that can not only do my nails with acrylic but do it with normal nail polish AND get a design. They are also so sweet and welcoming!
