I would say my daughter and I have been going to TLC for about a year now. We have had gel manicures from other places and nothing compares. Your nails will last as long as you can tolerate not changing the color :) They are very nice, professional and they take the time needed with each person, even when there are people waiting.. as they should. I never had made an appointment and have had some long wait times, but, in the end it is all worth it. Very good artists, and the times when the artist is not the best, they don't stay around long. I recommend them if you like a quality job. They aim to please!
