I have been coming to this salon for 5 years now. The technicians are top tier and the salon itself is beautiful. A special shout out to Cindy and Helen - I've lucked into having one or the other for my past few visits and they are both incredible artists and so very kind.

I have been coming here for awhile, and it can be a hit or miss depending on when you come, how busy they are, who does your nails, etc… but let me just say, Vien did my nails today and I’m in love! My nails looked pretty rough when I came in and he transformed them! Thank you Vien, Awesome job!! I will definitely be requesting you in the future!

Ombré acrylic, coffin shape, with a clear gel top. I like that the acrylic was made thin, and that they cleaned up underneath with the drill as well. They even have deeper nude acrylic colors, so if you are a deeper damsel, you may find options here. I was one of those difficult clients who couldn’t figure out a good nude color, as they all seemed too fair once they were on me—but everyone was super patient with me even though I changed my mind three times. Eventually I just asked Cindy what she was wearing and went with that. At least four technicians chimed in to help find the right color for me. I definitely had to evaluate the color of the nude acrylic on one nail first, since they can look different when they are on you vs on the example. I didn’t want them to finish doing all nails before I asked for a different color, so I tried to let them know as soon as possible that I wanted a different color. Again, I did this three times and they were very patient with me. I really appreciate that, because I am usually too shy to ask. Now I feel more comfortable, and will come back more often, so I can figure out a good color to use as my default manicure. They have a lot of options. I am forever on the hunt for a good medium-nude-skin-color acrylic that is not pink. Also, this place is very popular, since it has good aesthetic and is clean and well-staffed—so the salon can get loud with everyone laughing, but I appreciate that they let me just zone out quietly and relax after work. Thank you Cindy!

If your getting a manicure, ask for Tom! He is my go-to nail guy. 😍 he is meticulous, but also really fast! The hot stone pedicures are so relaxing, too! My favorite me time activity is coming here for a mani pedi!
