    Was visiting from out of town - went for a walk in on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to get me in. Honestly one of the best mani / pedis I’ve had - she did exactly what I asked, was efficient but did a great job - very detail oriented. Offered great leg / foot and even a short shoulder massage, too. The price was very fair, and the people were nice. It was exactly what I needed to relax ahead of a long red-eye flight home.

    My first experience here today was great! All the staff were very friendly and spoke very good English so no communication barriers. The massage I received with my pedicure was by far the best nail salon massage I’ve ever
    had. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    My partner took me here on September 6th to get mani-pedis since we were visiting for my birthday weekend. Everyone working there was very nice and attentive. Considering the low staff, they were still able to juggle multiple customers and still gave everyone individual attention. Rachel was the one who did both my mani-pedi, and I highly recommend. Another return customer was there, giving her praises because she said that when Rachel does nails, they last weeks. So I’m hopeful.

    Was in town and came in last second for a pedicure and gel manicure. They took their time and made the experience really comfortable while giving me a great manicure and pedicure.

    Y Genesis 2 has been my long-enough-time go-to. So much so that before a 3 month trip, I drove 2 hours (one way) to get a gel mani and pedi less than 24 hours before leaving. That dedication aside, Rachel and the staff have been so nice, accommodating, patient, and skilled. They take pride in their work and have MANY regulars. It’s hard to go anywhere else when you find a place that does everything you ask and beyond VERY well!

    I had an upsetting experience during my recent visit to what used to be my go-to nail salon for years. On a cold mid-week day, I stopped in without an appointment, knowing from years of experience that they were unlikely to be busy. The staff kindly accepted me and asked me to sit. However, what followed was very unprofessional.

    I witnessed a heated argument between two technicians, one of whom seemed to be a manager. They yelled back and forth in front of me, creating a very uncomfortable environment. After a few minutes, they asked me to leave, explaining that they had another client arriving in 30 minutes. Another client was also present, and she seemed just as uncomfortable as I was.

    While I understand the situation, I felt disrespected and unvalued as a loyal, long-term client. They could have calmly communicated the issue instead of resorting to a public argument. Given my years of experience with this salon, I knew they were not particularly busy that day, which made the situation feel even more unnecessary.

    This experience left me and the other client feeling very uncomfortable, and I will not be returning.
