Mindy & Mo was amazing! I got a pedicure and manicure done. They really took care of me and was very professional and attentive. They even took the time out to massage my hands and feet. They were both wonderful. You have to come here, tell them Lei sent you! :)

I stopped in as a walk-in for a quick touch-up before a work trip, and they were so accommodating! I just needed my fingernails and toenails cleaned up around the edges, and they did a great job. I was pleasantly surprised by their four-hand service, with both my manicure and pedicure being done at the same time. Such a convenient option when you’re short on time! I was in and out in under two hours. Perfect for a quick refresh!

These lovely ladies always take great care of me. They do great work and are very sweet people. I came across the location on accident and keep returning. They are open and reliable and take same day appointments. It’s a definite 5 star.
