Very professional, my stylist did an awesome job, took her time. They closed at 7, but was still there until 730, didn’t rush us out of there. We are from Iowa and want to bring them back with us.

Kathy and Mya were super super sweet and they did my nails super good. I just got a classic French tip and a nail design with a pearl and they did phenomenal. This would totally be my regular nail spot, but I live in Oklahoma and only come for vacation.

Amazing! I came into this nail salon with a photo of what I wanted on my nails (pink ombré design). Lily was so helpful with helping me find the perfect colors - we went through multiple options before landing on the exact color from the photo. She was very precise with the color, design, and shape and my nails look perfect!
