Fantastic place for a mani and pedi. I was very impressed and pleased by the hospitality and service. I was provided with exceptional service and was accommodated with the same day appointment. I wear halal nail polish, and the technician used the polish I brought it; its a difficult polish to use as air bubbles can arise - however the technician was so skilled - my nails came out perfect! She did such a wonderful job. I was so impressed with my nails. My feet and hands came out so soft and beautiful. 10 on 10 recommend.

I was very surprised by my experience here, given the great reviews they have received. I had a gel manicure, which required the previous gel polish to be removed, and it took close to 2 hrs for all of this to be done. They also didn't have many of the colours that were shown to me on the swatches. On top of that, the polishes are poorly organized and mislabelled, which lead to a lot of wasted time. The manicurist also informed me that colours could be mixed if I was looking for a shade that they currently don't have (which is very common), but the owner wouldn't allow her to do it. Instead of

Came for a fill and left with worse nails then when I came in, it is almost comical how bad they look!! Polish applied far from cuticle and all over skin around nails by an amateur technician (owner had to keep coming to help), she filed down the skin around my nails til I bled and made my nails as short as she could which I asked to keep length. Polish bubbled it was so applied so thick. I went and showed the owner and she refused to refund or apologize and asked me to leave because they look fine when they clearly looked bad. She got very defensive and aggressive when I was not being rude

Lady who did my pedicure was great!! Attention to detail and very gentle. She gets 5 stars.
However, the young girl who did my acrylics; I was not impressed with. The acrylics were too thick and unnatural. It just looks like big globs of nail polish. It is not very attractive. I kept saying to her that it was thick but she said she if she thinned it, it would break. I would disagree with that. I've had these done thinner and they look much more natural. Quite unhappy with these nails and it was expensive. The little gold details cost me 30$ extra which is a rip off. Those little stickers, are
