0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND! If I could give 0 starts, I would!
Service? SUCKS !
We told them in the beginning that it wasn’t looking right, they did not want to restart, they told us to leave it and even questioned “have you ever had nails before?” .. I had them restart, ant the beginning when measuring the length and still, this was the outcome… would you pay $110 for these? Cause I sure didn’t. Smh

We were on our honeymoon and I had Gel X nails. I wanted them removed because we had planned some outdoor activities. She understood was I was wanting so she sat me down and started working on my nails. She was filing them down and held the drill in one spot on each of my nails. My nails are so sore after that. She didn’t even get the Gel X nails off.

I'd say most 'tourists' skip this authentic Chinatown area but I'm so glad we explored it! We had really tasty 'pork buns' and Taylor had a superb detail on his car. I was in dire need for a manicure. I brought my own polish, hoping we'd have time. Taylor and I both got a manicure. $20! The ladies were extremely meticulous! Just like the good ole days when they actually spent time cleaning each cuticle and taking their time on each nail. Impressed! She gave a quick DEEP massage on the arms and neck. We gave them each a $20 tip because their work was perfection. Here is the tricky part of the review. The salon went above and beyond to accommodate both of us 'walk-ins'. Was the salon 5 stars? No. It's a very simple, WORKING salon. No frills. Would it pass a health inspection with A+? Probably not. Did we care? No. We wanted a good manicure and we got one of the best I've had! We enjoyed our walk around Chinatown Market. On our next visit, I'll go here FIRST, to get mani/pedi, my fill of Chinese bakery and fruit. It's a humble area and very much appreciated.
