5 /5 Kylen Smith: Ive had awful experiences with nail salons near here, but Im happy to say that I found a wonderful salon that gave me one of the most high quality gel manicures I have ever received.
I booked a 12:30 pm appointment and was seated right away. The salon wasnt empty but wasnt crowded either - a good sign, in my opinion.
My nail tech was very thorough throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed as she made sure everything from my nail length/shape, cuticles/skin around my nails, and the application of the color was perfect. I was fortunate enough that she was able to provide me a UV dryer for each hand (although I dont know if this would be the case during a busier time).
Unlike other places that try to rush the drying stage, my nail tech made sure to let my nails stay under the lamp for two full 60 second cycles for each layer of primer, polish, and top coat. She had a sixth sense for knowing when the heat lamp had completed its cycle, as she would quickly turn it back on.
Shoulder/back massages are offered, but I declined. I still received a complimentary "sample" massage at two different points during the appointment. It felt so nice that I might have to get one in the future.
This salon prefers cash and has an ATM by the front door. The ATM fee isnt that expensive ($2), but there are enough major banks in the area that you can withdraw some cash ahead of time if you want to avoid the fee.
My manicure looks beautiful and has really boosted my confidence in the short while that Ive had it. I will definitely be returning in the future!
