I absolutely love ThuLan Nail Retreat. From the moment you walk in, it feels calm, clean, and welcoming, which is so refreshing compared to busy nail salons. The space is super professional and you can tell a lot of care goes into keeping everything spotless. I really appreciate that they focus on natural nails only. No harsh gel or acrylic smells, which is a huge plus for me because those fumes usually give me a headache. On top of that, the experience itself is just lovely. The conversations are easy and genuine, and it never feels rushed. Being appointment only makes such a difference too. I never have to wait and it feels much more personal and relaxed. It’s become one of those places I actually look forward to visiting, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Zaria is AMAZING! She takes her time to give me the best dry manicure ever. Every time I visit my daughter (I live 3 hours away) I make sure to see her.

I love this salon! My cuticles are rough and I’m guilty of biting my nails, but they are always so gentle and delicate throughout the whole process. The place is super clean, the staff is kind, and the owner is just lovely. I always leave feeling so cared for and my nails looking amazing!
