    Nicole is the best! Ive been getting my nails done by her for over 5 years. I love her shop vibes, professionalism and the way she will riff off of your ideas or freestyle. I go about 4 weeks in between appointments and they pretty much always still look great.

    Nicole did my nails for my wedding and I couldn't have loved them more! I wanted a mix of classic and whimsy on my natural nails and Nicole made sure I got just what I envisioned. Nicole is creative and kind and her shop is so fun! I highly recommend her for any style of nails, she can do it all!

    I’ve been coming to Nicole for a few years now and so thankful I found her!! She never disappoints and always gives me exactly what I want + encourages me to get out of my comfort zone and try something new which I always end up loving. She’s so talented and creative plus she provides the best customer service. I get asked about my nails constantly and love bragging about them. 12/10 highly recommend Thunder Bolt nails!!
