Can in for a last minute pedicure this morning and was greeted right away, serviced immediately by Rose. Offered drinks and constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable and not in need of anything else. I come in for my nails all the time but usually have an appointment so being able to just walk in was a great experience in itself as well.

I had such a fantastic experience getting a gel pedicure with Rose! From start to finish, she was incredibly thorough, gentle, and attentive. She took her time with the cuticle work and shaping, and the massage was wonderfully relaxing—exactly what my tired feet needed. The gel polish application is completely flawless: clean edges, smooth and even coats, and a brilliant, glossy finish that feels like it’s going to last for weeks. Rose is not only super skilled at what she does, but she also has such a warm, welcoming energy that makes the whole appointment effortless and comfortable. I couldn't be happier with how my toes turned out and will definitely be booking with Rose again!
