I had such a wonderful experience getting my nails done and I'm SO happy with how they turned out. I'm in VT for the week and was really overdue for a nail refresh. I decided to try Essential after seeing photos online of the gorgeous nail art done here. I've never had nail art done, only boring solid colors, and have always wanted to get it. I came to the right place! My only regret is that I don't live closer to come back consistently. I highly recommend Essential Nails. The owner is not only so talented, but provided great conversation and laughs!
I had such a wonderful experience! It had been years since my last pedicure, and I was feeling embarrassed about the condition of my feet. Ms. Hong was able to take me as a walk-in, which was incredibly convenient. She was friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and so kind that I never once felt self-conscious.
She immediately understood what my feet needed, and my pedicure turned out beautifully. We had a lovely conversation throughout the appointment, and I left feeling genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Ms. Hong!
Mrs. Hong fit us in at the last minute and did not make us feel that we inconvenienced her. We received 2 manicures and a pedicure. We were impressed with the nail color selection. There were more bottles of polish than I have ever seen in a salon before. She was very focused on helping us find a color palette that would work with our skin tone. She was very experienced and opinionated about what we chose. The appointment was longer than expected because she told a lot of stories and shared about her personal history, which we didn’t mind because we had no time constraints on that day. She is clearly a determined and resilient person and provided a great deal...read full review
