I came to this salon based on a friend's recommendation; it’s the largest one I’ve ever visited. I came in for a gel manicure today and ran into some communication issues with the staff, though a colleague sitting nearby stepped in to help translate—or at least, that’s what I assume happened. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’ll be coming back.

Reviews
Amazing experience! My four friends and I came in and were sat down right away, didn’t have to wait a second. They told us the price up front so we already knew how much we would pay. I got a comped design done with gel and it was only $50, the cheapest nail salon and the best work! She did my nails so fast and the design was literally perfect, she asked me a ton of questions to make sure she understood what I wanted. She was so sweet and kind. I would go back no matter how far the drive is!
First time today and the powder dip was done perfectly. I usually paint my own nails at home but this was worth every penny! The tech was so gentle and did things so cautiously and it was a beautiful set.
