The owner Lily was super sweet, I accidentally went to the wrong location, and she stayed open longer to make sure I could still get my nails done when I got to the correct location. The nails she made are really cute and super trendy rn!! Thank u so much for everything Lily and staff I love my nails and service so much 💞💞
What a fabulous salon. And affordable too!
I happened in there this am and was treated to an exceptional nail treatment by Co Co. My nails were in rough shape! She did a fantastic job job cleaning them up, adding tips, and an awesome dip power in “Christmas Red”. I highly recommend this salon, and will book again when I return to NYC… 👏👏👏👏👏
