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.

I started coming here when I moved to the area- I enjoy getting manicures and pedicures done here! They have a really relaxing foot massage package with a whole bunch of things like hot stone massage, lotion, paraffin wax, etc. Tammy and Tuyen are amazing artists.

Kimmy is the most talented and artistic nail tech I’ve ever had. Before coming to her I was always leaving nail salons feeling unheard and disappointed. She really listens to what I want, explains to me how things work and what is realistic and is so talented at the work she does! I leave my apts content and beaming each time!

Lee was wonderful and they really help you out to figure out what you’re looking for even if you’re not fully sure. She did a design I showed her amazingly and the service is very nice. Only thing is that if you’re only coming in for that they don’t do cuticles and that stuff so either do it before if it matters.
