| - I have been coming to this salon for 5 years.
Whenever I try a new place downtown closer to where I now live - I regret it because NO ONE does my BIO GEL NAILS the way this place does!
Sam was always my go-to girl, but she left a coupe of years ago and now Lena is my girl. She is incredible and I recommend everyone to ask for her if you want perfect gel nails.
This place is clean, it's serene, and has a calming, quiet environment. I've gone to other popular salons downtown like, Urban Nails, Yeti, Beautyline, etc but they are so chaotic and the opposite of a spa-like ambiance.
They are very detailed.
- First you get a gentle manicure to clean your cuticles (I ask for this to be done BEFORE the gel applications. To each their own)
- They clean your nail and polish it.
- After EVERY coating they file to even it out.
- I love that they file down the part near your cuticle so that you don't get a lump there when the nails grow out.
- They apply the glue to the tips and not your nail (this is IMPORTANT! trust me) and they cut it with a proper cutter, not SCISSORS!
- I get french, and they apply this before the final coat with so much precision. Then it all gets filed again to make it even and apply the final coat.
End result is a beautifully, even layered and STRONG nail.
Pricing is pretty standard. $50 for full set of Bio-Gels. I get an manicure in there for an additional $5. I actually find their pricing better than other places the quality is un equaled.
With all of that hard work, naturally this is about 1 1/2 to 1 /45min in the chair. It might seem like a long time, but it's because of all the detail that goes into the work that requires a long sit time.
However, my nails will last me a good month and 1/2 (with care and filing on my part).
I've never been able to do that with any other salon.
