Yesterday was my first visit because my usual tech is traveling abroad all month. I saw Angela for builder gel. SHE TIGHTLINED IT Y’ALL. Seriously she got the color right up to the cuticle and it looks so clean and good.
The salon has a great aesthetic, and I loved the lavender mint tea they are serving.

This salon is truly amazing—not only because of their incredible talent, but also because of how kind and caring everyone is.
