Always come here when in Antioch! Great prices and great work! Customer service is good too, they always offer refreshments & most importantly they have the perfect color pink acrylic I like (which is hard to find)! Would definitely recommend! 😇

This review is overdue. I showed up on a random Thursday afternoon. It was empty. I was initially very skeptical of the place. However, as soon as I walked in, I was welcomed in, offered a water bottle and given a madeline cookie without asking. That was just the beginning. When I was getting my acrylic nails done,…

I had a really nice time here. My tech was super friendly, and I loved chatting with her. That's not usually my experience when I get my nails done, since it feels like if you only speak English, you're left out of all the fun and talk. The other lady working was so cheerful and funny, she made the whole salon feel…

In a lot of nails place my nails are always too lifted, here at monicas they weren't. I love how my nails turned out, fast and efficient cute short almond just like I wanted, in a lot of places they complain they can't do them as short but not here and they were slim and not so thick. I will definitely be coming back.
