“I had my first gel x experience at E'lan and it was a great experience! Hannah and Jenny both worked on my set and they were so kind, meticulous, and caring. It is clear that they have a passion for their craft and delivering on clients' expectations. I asked for a natural/neutral look and they captured exactly what I was envisioning. This photo is from right after, but I'm two weeks in and my nails still look pretty much the same. Looking forward to returning soon!“

“I can't say anything about consistency having been here once, but I can say that the lady who did my regular mani did a really good job. She was detail oriented and clean. No pain. The hand massage was nice too.I'm not the type to talk a lot at the salon, so I appreciated that she didn't push questions and just let me be in zen mode.“

“My fave place to go for my lashes and my hair!! Maya has been doing my lashes since early 2022. I had only gotten my lashes done a few times before that but didn't have the best experience so I stopped with the lashes. Maya has done an exceptional job with my lashes, including educating me on the aftercare and providing products to elongate the life of the lashes as well as keeping my natural lashes healthy. I would recommend Maya to anyone and everyone. She's so patient, has really helped me understand the lash cycle and has always answered all my questions. I've been seeing Sarah for my hair since 2022 and wowwww. It makes a huge difference when you go to someone who understands hair the way Sarah does. She is so talented and I'm literally always left in awe of my hair. We did toning before while I was growing out some bad coloring from previous stylist and now just my regular haircuts. I'm so particular when it comes to my beauty services and she always does me right. I appreciate her knowledge and suggestions on the cutting, including face framing and understanding what looks best. I only buy my hair products from there now as well, I love Davines. I feel super thankful to have met Sarah and Maya, they are a staple for me in my self care and even better that they are a locally owned Mother-Daughter business. 10/10 recommend.“

“This nail salon has new owners. The setup is super cute and clean. They have 7 or 8 massage chairs with foot basin for pedicures and such. They also have 4 desks for manicures. Call for appointments so you don't have to wait.I got a gel manicure and pedicure. It took about an hour for both. The two people who were working were so helpful and did great work. Love the results. Right now, they are waiting on their cart machine to arrive, so I paid with venmo. The prices were really reasonable. I had a great experience.“

“Always an excellent mani/pedi for really reasonable prices. My nails always look great and last for almost two weeks (usually I get a week out of gels maximum). The technicians are friendly and efficient — today I told them I was short on time and they had me in and out in 30 min without missing a beat. As usual, they take card, but appreciate if you tip in cash. I highly recommend!!“
