Cleanest nail salon ever! A welcoming intimate ambiance and Lori's reliable on-time practice makes coming here a delightful treat. Although I tend to stick to old school pink and white acrylics, new application techniques seem to be offered up regularly. My experience here with acrylics have been so satisfying. Aside from visual appeal, they're always durable & dependable. I love my pink and white nails. Lori's talent to create ugly flat nail beds to look sexy & attractive is amazing. Frequently, I receive compliments about my nails even when it's been over 2 even 3 weeks! She never scolds me for beating up my hands working in the garden. And Lori has never charged for (luckily uncommon) repairs, despite the obvious abuse I admit putting them through. Pedicures are relaxing and magic. Lori's gentle touch makes my short stubby toes look pretty. Every speck of toe jam is scrubbed away. Nails are filed & shaped perfectly. After a calming calf rub, the appointment ends with a polish I can never emulate. Oh! And every season she offers the newest trendy colors. Lori is particular at discarding anything old but keeps popular shades available for those of us who seldom change our way. Recently Lori added eyelash extensions to her repertoire of services. I love waking with beautiful long thick ready to be seen lashes! She clearly loves providing this (new-to-me) beauty enhancing service. She's a perfectionist without being tedious. At these appointments, she's mean and doesn't let me talk as usual :-/ To make up for her mean ways, she is conscientious about my comfort, and makes a blanket or fan available. Considerate and a great listener are a couple terms to describe Lori at Handz Up. Her cleanliness rivals infection control protocols seeing in dental offices!

WOW, just WOW!!! I came to Lori with what can only be described as an absolute train wreck on my nails. I had fallen prey to the convenience of a *nail mill*... meaning a place that has literally 30 nail tables and a line out the door. Their appeal is the gemstone work they do. Very pretty but their sanitation sucked and I ended up with a nail infection. They rush and dont understand a word you say... and they hurt when they drill your nails... Enough of that nightmare.... Fast forward to last night...I got to *HANDZ UP* salon, which is adorable and VERY CLEAN and was seated to soak off the mess left on my sad nails. Apparently if the product is inferior it won't just soak off. Lori took her time to remove it by clipping and letting it soak as mcuh as possible and once it was off, she could see the mess the other place had made of my nails. I cannot express the relief to get that other stuff off my nails!! Lori uses only the finest product, Creative Nail Design (CND) and having actually worked for that company myself years ago when I was an active nail tech, I was comfortable right away. She used their colored acrylic line and took the time to make sure I was happy with how she placed the product. I can honestly say, without a doubt, I have found one of the very best nail technicians in the area. She takes her time, she uses a file, not a drill and she takes pride in her work. I would highly recommend this salon, and Lori. She is super sweet and her prices are good. Thank you Lori for making me feel good about using my hands again.. I'm an expressive person and I talk using my hands a lot and now I feel a lot more confident. I would giver her 10 stars but they only let me give 5...
