It has been around 2 months since I started going to this place. I’ve had experiences with Yesenia , Emily and Belqis . All were kind, experienced and listened to what I needed carefully. Also, the management is very friendly and accommodated my late requests accordingly.

This was my first time at this salon and it was a wonderful experience! Yesenia was kind, patient and really loved her job. I got a phenomenal pedicure, manicure and a gloss and blow out. If you’re looking for a one stop shop, this is it. I will definitely return and I certainly recommend.
