    I have been going to this salon for a little over three years. I used to hate going to get my nails done before I found them, it was the worst kind of chore but with Back Alley Nails, it's a vibe and you feel it right when you walk in. It's like you are going to hang with the girls and also happen to be getting your nails done. The salon itself is very cute and curated, decor is well executed.

    I finally worked up the courage to get my nails done, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience with Flora. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel completely comfortable. I was really nervous, but she was so easy to talk to and never made me feel judged or out of place.

    She took her time, listened to exactly what I wanted, and absolutely nailed it (pun intended 😂). The shape is perfect, the polish is flawless, and the attention to detail really shows. I left feeling so much more confident than when I walked in. Thank you so much, Flora, for making my first experience such an amazing one! 💕🖤
