Best nail salon in the city! I’ve been coming for over 2 years and I’ve had a great experience with all the technicians there, especially Cindy! She is super gentle and very detailed oriented. I usually get a solid gel color but I’ve tried their designs and pedicures before as well and I have loved all my experiences here.

Reviews
I’ve been coming here since 2018, and I can’t recommend them enough! Michelle and the entire team of artists are unbelievably talented—they always bring my vision to life perfectly. Plus, after years of visiting every 5 weeks, my natural nails are the healthiest and strongest they've ever been. Zero chips, zero lifting, ever. My appointments are my absolute favorite time to relax and unwind!
Love it Yayo is amazing!! Did an awesome set for my bts concert!! Much love!!!
