About

This salon has a long-standing reputation, but recent reviews highlight significant frustration with customer service and inconsistent quality. While some long-time clients love the owners, many others complain about rude staff, hidden fees, and poor nail durability. The shop is often described as crowded, and the communication barrier is a recurring point of contention for some. It is definitely a spot where you need to know who to book with to get a decent result.
