Tropical Oasis Nail Salon
“It’s a really nice salon. Very clean and fresh environment. I really liked my service. The only thing is it’s a little expensive and my manicurist was a bit rough with the nail file when removing previous gel, so now the skin around my cuticles hurts and has a few cuts. Also, when I got home, the tips of the polish looked a little patchy and odd but that’s probably because I looked too close. I recommend this place for elaborate designs and services. Simple manicures? Go somewhere else.”
Beauty Pop
“Brooke was fantastic! Best mani/ pedi! And the place is clean and very upbeat. It's a wonderful option for affordable, excellent servce.”

City Nails & Spa
“I had an Appt at a different salon closer to home but left there because it was really dirty. City Nails was willing to get me in today for a gel mani and gel pedi. I haven’t had a bad experience here yet. Deuce today was excellent, and I’ll definitely ask for her in the future.”
Nail Bar NOLA
“Absolutely loved my experience at Nail Bar NOLA! The entire place has such a great vibe, and everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. Tu did my nails and the ART?! Incredible. I came in wanting something fun and Halloween-inspired, and she absolutely nailed it. The attention to detail is amazing, and I love how every nail works together without being exactly the same.<br><br>The whole experience was relaxing, fun, and genuinely enjoyable—not just an appointment where you’re trying to get in and out. Tu was super sweet, talented, and made sure I loved everything. I will definitely be back. If you’re looking for somewhere with great people, a great atmosphere, and someone who can actually do nail art, go see Tu! 💜🕸👻”
