I’m not sure why another reviewer said they don’t do gel because they 100% do, they just don’t do dip or acrylic, which is also why this nail salon doesn’t smell like chemicals like every other salon does. If you’re someone who doesn’t get fake nails, and just want a high quality paint job on your natural nails and to be pampered in the process, this is the place for you.
They do a great job here overall. The staff is super nice, the atmosphere is clean and relaxing, they don’t rush through the job, and prices are on par with other salons in the area.
I did have an issue with my gel polish being applied too thin and it chipped a day later, but they not only repaired it for me, they also added another coat onto every other nail as well and the woman who initially did the job was very apologetic, and it seemed like this was a learning experience for her.
My only complaint, hence this being only four stars, is that they charge extra for literally everything, even if it doesn’t require extra polish, time, or skill. I asked if I could get one color of polish on one hand and different color on the other hand, no designs whatsoever, and they were going to charge me an extra $5 for that. If you want a matte topcoat instead of glossy, that’s also an extra $5. I believe gel polish on a pedicure is also an extra $20, whereas it’s only an extra $15 on your hands, which doesn’t make sense to me (but I’ve seen this at other salons as well.)
The overall vibe with nail salons these days is that they will nickel and dime you for every little thing, but at least here they do a high quality job, I feel comfortable knowing I’m not breathing in chemicals or dust, and since they take their time and offer extras like massages and paraffin wax, I don’t feel like another transaction like I do at other salons.
