I have tried so many nail shops in the area, and this is the only shop that consistently delivers fast service, fair pricing, and great service from the owner and all the techs. I never want to overpay again at another location. I recently added them on google maps because they were previously removed, but this place is definitely not new! They’ve been around and are always busy. The locals know how to find them. Definitely call for an appointment but they’re very good with walk-ins and giving estimates.
