The best gel mani and pedi I've got in a long time. I also really appreciate that the women there started and finished as scheduled, without compromising on the quality of the work. The salon is already really clean and cute. Super excited to have found this place.

How do I pick a good nail salon?

Look past the star average — almost everyone listed is 4.5★+. What separates them: the share of 1–2★ jobs in the last two years (category average 4%), whether the owner answers complaints (36% do), and how customers rated the specific job you need.
