The work had nothing to do with what I asked for. I absolutely hated the work they did for me; I loved the team that was there before. I’d like to know where they are, because the work being done at that place now is horrible.

Very Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend! I went to this nail salon yesterday for a full set of acrylic almond-shaped nails, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst nail experiences I’ve had. It took 3 HOURS to do my nails, and after all that time, they came out horrible! The shape was uneven, the overall look was disappointing, and both of my index fingers were hurting really badly. I’m not someone who complains about prices, but I do expect honesty and good customer service. The nail technician did not tell me that almond-shaped nails would cost extra until AFTER she had already finished my nails. I was very upset because that should have been explained upfront, not sprung on me at the end. Even the technician seemed to know how bad my nails looked because she offered me a $10-off coupon and kept apologizing. I told her I would not be coming back because my nails hurt and looked ugly. By that point, it was already 8:45 PM, and after sitting there for three hours, I was exhausted and did not want to argue or spend any more time trying to get them fixed, so I just went home. Three hours for nails that look terrible and leave your fingers hurting is completely unacceptable. Customers pay for a service and deserve quality work, clear pricing, and nails they can actually be happy with. An apology and a $10 coupon do not make up for such a disappointing experience. I will not be returning, and I would advise others to make sure they confirm the full price upfront and carefully check the work before leaving. Very disappointed with the service and the results!

The shop is very clean and the massage chairs operate well. Kellie is professional, courtesy and takes her time. I’ve been her client for a few years now. If you’re looking for a nice place for personal services, make an appointment with Kellie. ✌🏽
