This place is a perfect example of why it's not a good idea to judge a book by its cover. I can't remember how I ended up at this location but I know that if I were to go based off the reviews I wouldn't have stepped foot in this place. However, I did, and I'm glad that I did.
The location of this place is a bit strange as it doesn't have a street facing entrance. Instead it is tucked into a plaza that opens up into a into a small oddly shaped parking lot. On the inside, the space is really small and it looks kind of old. But those are my basic gripes about the place because everything else is pretty freaking great.
I have been here four times now and each time I've been, I have been seen by four different people; I will however that Hwa is the best! After each visit I have left completely impressed by the quality of service and application by the staff. I have finally begrudgingly gotten used to the pricing of these services and this place is in line with the pricing of other nail salons in the city. The nail technicians take their time to ensure that you are happy with the color of the nail polish, shape of your nail, and application of the polish. After every step, I was surprised by how genuinely concerned each technician was with ensuring that I was happy with the process thus far.
I have been to many nail salons in this city; some in nicer locations with pricier service options. TC Nails however is the best around. The service is fantastic and worth the time if you're in the area.
