It’s my 4th time coming to this salon and every time I come i’m blown away at the service. It’s amazing. I’ve literally never had a better pedicure/manicure. i nearly fell asleep because of how relaxed I was during my pedicure massage. Even if i’m getting designs or just a simple color on my nails everything is done…

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 had the best experience. The technician were very diligent, skilled, and great customer services. I used to go to Susan Nails in Redwood City but now it’s under a new administration and they are careless, which they cut my fingers with their instruments and asked me and I scared? That is why I don’t go there.…

Came to get some patches of gel removed that a previous salon missed. Nail artist didn’t remove those patches, scratched up my nails themselves, and kept wanting to further file my nails to reshape them. Very hard to communicate. Charged $15 for 10 minutes of this.
