It’s a no from me. 10/10 don’t recommend. I was looking for a new salon to regularly start going to. So this was my first and LAST time there. Upon entry I was met with a horrible attitude by Ivy. And I mean she was just beyond rude. I’ve gotten dip for years so I’m pretty understanding of how the process works. So I asked for 1 coat funny bunny 2 coat bubble bath. And in the middle of the lobby she is yelling at me saying it doesn’t make sense and it’s going to turn out the same if I use just bubble bath. The girls that get it get it. No it is not the same. I honestly should have walked out then with how resistant she was to do my nails and how I was met with disrespect as a new client but I had to get them done. Moving forward shaping horrible. I asked for almond she had the audacity to tell me that I didn’t know what I was talking about. I had almond shape on my natural nails. I don’t know what this is now. But at least she was honest and aggressively said “well this is the best I can do”. Yeaaa poor shaping and dip on my cuticle and side of nail it’s quite uncomfortable.Also have these random black dots in the dip color just shaking my head. I wasn’t going to leave a review but I’m sitting here relaxing and I’m just looking at my nails like damn this 4.8 star salon really finessed me.

I am obsessed with this nail salon. I never wanted to come back here after a bad experience a few years ago. I’m so glad I did. Wendy is the most amazing nail tech and my nails always look amazing with her. Everyone there is so nice and they just want to make sure you’re happy. Such a beautiful space to relax and have a great time. It is worth every cent and run don’t walk there if you want amazing nails.
