GG ResnickGoogle review

This was the worst mani/pedi I’ve ever received. My tech was in a rush the whole time and seemed annoyed that I was there for a service (that I had booked in advance). During the pedicure, she was rough with the clippers and didn’t bother to do any nail shaping or cuticle care. She just cut my toenails straight across....

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Explore a spacious and contemporary beauty salon interior featuring sleek design, mirrors, and luxurious seating.
  • Do I need to book in advance?

    Appointments help secure your preferred time, but walk-ins are welcome depending on staff availability.

  • What is the difference between gel and regular polish?

    Gel polish cures under an LED light for lasting wear without chipping, while regular polish dries naturally.

  • Are nail art and specialty colors extra?

    Custom art, specialty colors like cat eye, and builder gel overlays have add-on pricing. Call us and we will tell you.

  • Can I bring inspiration photos for nail art?

    Yes, bring any photos or design ideas to show your technician before we begin your set.

  • How do you sanitize salon tools?

    All reusable metal tools are disinfected between clients, and single-use files and buffers are disposed of after each service.

  • Which payment methods do you accept?

    Ask when you arrive or call ahead and we will tell you how we take payment.
