Please take your money else where. These women in this shop are the worse. My fingers are cut and my nails look a mess, definitely not worth the price! They rushed my feet, did not put no effort at all. The paint on my nail look like A kid did it honestly. Save yourself the headache because this place is not it. Also the lady started naming random countries trying to guess where I was from, which was not cool. Don’t come here!

Really terrible experience, bad service , bad job. My daughter complained about it and threatened not to pay as nails were lumpy and crooked. The lady said she would call the cops. Because she is young, she did not know what to do. So She paid for a horrible job. $158 was charged. She went back today to get nails fixed. Someone else fixed them, still not a good job but better than before. She argued about the over charge and was told to speak to the owner who of course was not there. they called the owner. Owner hung up the phone and refused to speak to her. So I will be disputing the charged with cc company. One of the workers said is Christmas. Exactly!!! It is Christmas and this is the treatment we get for $158. …

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this nail salon. They are clearly inexperienced and not specialized in gel nails. The gel nail paint was applied so poorly that it kept shrinking, leaving the edges of my nails uncovered. Instead of fixing the issue properly, they kept reapplying more gel, which only made my nails look shabby and uneven. After realizing their mistake, they suggested removing the nail paint and starting the entire process over again. This meant I had to sit there for almost 5 hours in total just to get my nails redone from scratch. Despite the long wait, the end result was still terrible and untidy. To make matters worse, my nails started breaking after just 3 days, as shown in the picture. I ended up paying $70 for this terrible service. Save your time and

Disappointing visit. Even with an appointment, they were understaffed, and didn’t have time. The woman who did my nails was extremely rude and gave us attitude. She didn’t even thank me for the tip, and snubbed me. Flora is the only person who makes this place worth it—everyone else is consistently rude.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Helena Ma · Jul 2018

$38 for gel and extra $5 for gel removal. It was not worth it at all. I got the mint green to begin with but my manicurist did a terrible job. She forgot to FILE my nails. She directly went from cuticles to applying base coat and I had to remind her to file them. I left to find my hands looking 10 years older with wrinkles around my nails and the nail polish streaky and leaking to my cuticles or not fully covering my nail. I went back for some sort of refund or anything so they offered to redo them but was in such a rush to redo them that they ended up just cutting me from intensely trying to file the gel off.
