| - It's been almost 2 weeks since I got my fill-in, and my nails still look great! (except for the fact that my nails grow so fast). Ok... on to the review:
I was in town and in dire need of a nail fix-up since a nail salon in LA completely screwed me up. I had time in between some errands I was handling, my usual nail salon wasn't very close, saw this place nearby on Yelp (since I can't seem to make decisions without it anymore), and decided to give them a call to see if they could pencil me in about 45 min- an hour later. The guy on the phone was really sweet (turned out it was Joey), I asked for Tina or Joey specifically since they seem to be so highly recommended in many of the reviews. He stated that he nor Tina had any openings for the day, but that any of the other technicians would do just as a good a job, and that I could come in whenever I was ready. I was a little disappointed seeing as how my last experiment with a nail tech I didn't know ended-up with horrible nails; I figured wth and went anyway. I showed up about an hr later, was greeted immediately and sat at one of the first tables. Turns out Joey had a cancellation, and had time to do my fill! (yay). I didn't get anything fancy done, normal acrylic fill-in, with neutral polish, and pointy shape. He was friendly, quick, efficient, and very good at what he does. The salon itself is very clean, and it seemed like everyone that walked in were regulars (which is always a good sign to me). Pricing is pretty reasonable (I believe I paid around $15 for the fill), and they also seemed to have really good pricing for their deluxe pedicures that included mud mask, etc. If I would've had time I totally would've had him do a pedi for me as well, but I was on a schedule. As I was drying Tina came over just to ask me how I liked the service, asked if everything was ok, and was just really nice and hospitable. Their genuine kindness was very much appreciated, and I can see why they have such good reviews. I almost feel like I'm cheating on my regular nail spot, because I can say I actually like this place better! (shhhhhh!!!!) I will definitely be back when I'm in the area!
