I’ve been to a few salons in the area, and none of them compare to Puffin Nails! Everyone is so skilled, friendly, and patient. I really appreciate how they take the time to help me test out different colors. I’ve had gel, Gel-X, and dip powder manicures here, and I’ve always been pleased with the results. They last a long time, too! 5/5 would definitely recommend.

I would say you should try Lily at Puffin Nails. She always does an amazing job. I do love that my nails last without breaking until my next appointment. Lily is friendly and the owner is super nice and he will always work to get you in with plenty of options.
