Henry did such a good job!! I have wide nail beds and have always been insecure about them. I’ve tried dozens of nail salons and he was one of the ones who NAILED it and got the shape just right!
Absolutely love my Easter/Spring nails by Henry. It's been a week but they still look incredible. I've been going here for about 6 months now and I love coming up with new and fun ideas with Henry -- he's an incredible nail tech super meticulous, has a fantastic eye for design, fun to talk to and can quite literally create whatever you have in mind. All of the women are also so lovely and talented so if he's booked up I know I am in good hands. Highly recommend this nail salon -- it's my go-to in Navy Yard <3
