I lived in Phoenix for many years and used many different salons but was never truly happy until I found Romena. For my last 2 years in Phoenix, I saw Romena regularly and was always super pleased with the way she did my nails and her friendliness. I left Phoenix in December 2010 and moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area and thought I would have little diffculty finding someone to do my nails. I WAS WRONG. No one has yet to compare to Romena. It took me 9 months of trying and following recommendations of new friends before I finally found someone who does my nails about 1/2 as well as Romena and they are NOT gel nails. I never did find anyone who did acceptable quality of gel nails. Romena is a GEM!
