Lee does amazing design work! Brought her another photo and she recreated the beautiful look! I always love my nails and get many compliments on them. I keep coming back because she does such beautiful art/designs. I keep going back for a combo of jelly polish with a layer of cat eye under Lee suggested that adds an amazing dimension.

Very disappointing experience. The nail technician was inattentive throughout my appointment and spent most of the time looking around and watching other people instead of focusing on my nails. Unfortunately, the quality reflects that lack of attention. It has been only two days, and the gel is already lifting and…

I came in for a mani pedi, and Kathy and Tuyen were both very thorough in making sure I got what I wanted. They had great attention to detail and made sure I was comfortable, best mani pedi I’ve gotten in a long time! My mom got one of their nicer pedicures from Rose, who was very attentive and patient, and gave an incredible massage!!
