Thought I’d give them a second chance. The worst pedicure ever. My heels are rough and no callus removal. Nails were ok but charged extra for gel removal. The price was too high for the poor service. No more chances for then

Pretty end result but somewhat aggressive manicure experience. Gel lamps could use a wipe down. (Separate advice: be sure to specify polish only or full manicure once you walk in after you book online.)
Had one of the best manicures I’ve ever gotten at Modern Nail Bar (Mount Vernon) 🤍
I’ve actually been coming here over the years, and it recently went under a change of management—and I’m obsessed with all the updates. Everything feels even more elevated and organized now.

If you haven’t tried it—builder gel is a thicker, structured gel that actually adds strength and shape to your natural nails, instead of just sitting on top like regular polish. It helps prevent breakage, supports growth, and lasts way longer, which is exactly what I needed.
