Always amazing. Perfect manicure every time. I couldn’t get back for my usual appointment and my nails lasted 6 weeks looking perfect. Even my cuticles. They are meticulous and caring and my nails are healthy and beautiful. And the appointments always run on time. No need to worry your spot was taken by a walk-in. Highly recommend.
