I’ve been going to file+style since 2018 and truly - I’ve never had a bad experience with LoAnn. She is always kind, communicative, and goes above and beyond - especially considering the crazy designs I ask her to do. I used to do hard gel and now I exclusively do gel x and they always last me a month at minimum. Occasionally I’ll get a pedicure here too - and the dazzle dry is a game changer bc it actually does dry in 5 minutes so I can get out and on with my day quickly. The online booking system is super easy and truly pro tip that if you any sort of design, you have to book with LoAnn. Worth every penny!

I might try again with another technician because there… read full review

I took in a reference photo from Pinterest for what I presumed to be an easy design for gel and said “if you can just do it exactly like the photo that would be great.”. File and style has tons of pics on their insta with perfectly shaped stars and cheetah print nails. This is my second time requesting stars and let… read full review
