Great place to get your nails done. The atmosphere here is very nice and peaceful. Has music playing, and TV on but was great to have no chip manicure done for a reasonable price. Definitely recommend and will be back.

I’m a first time customer trying Russian manicures, and I’m so glad I found Aleksandra! She is incredibly professional and detail-oriented. I love how she takes her time to make sure the polish and nail shape are exactly how I like them. She’s gentle, caring, and truly wants you to be happy with the results. This is only my second Russian manicure, and I’ve already booked future appointments with her. I highly recommend her services plus, the salon is super clean and calm!

I visit Dif every two weeks for a spa pedicure. The staff is friendly and attentive and always provides me with a relaxing leg massage and a perfect polish.

I spent months looking for a salon that offers e-file manicures. I decided to drive an hour from home to visit Brilliant Nails Lounge. I can say with certainty that it was 100% worth it and I will be back. The precision and attention to detail was top notch. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for an amazing manicure.

Love the new management and welcoming environment. Have brought my mother & daughter in for services and they were as pleased as I am. I mainly go for dazzle dry mani/pedi with an occasional dip powder manicure. My family goes for regular mani/pedi, but also brow waxing. This is our new favorite place!

I’ve been going to Brilliant Nails for about a year and the service has always been great, but today was next level. I booked a manicure, pedicure, and brows at the same time and everything was done seamlessly. Getting my brows done while my nails and toes were being taken care of was incredibly convenient. My brows turned out exactly how I wanted, which never happens. The team was attentive, efficient, and professional. I booked this as an early Mother’s Day treat and it was worth it. I won’t be booking services separately again.

A great experience! The salon has a contemporary vibe, is very clean, relaxing, and the staff very friendly. My nail tech paid close attention to detail and made sure I loved the shape and color before finishing. My nails turn out exactly how I want, every time, and they last really well. I am always coming back!

I had such a wonderful experience at this nail salon! I treated myself to a lavender gel manicure and a spa pedicure, and everything exceeded my expectations. The lavender color came out absolutely beautiful—soft, elegant, and perfectly applied with great attention to detail. The spa pedicure was incredibly relaxing. From the soothing soak to the exfoliation and massage, it felt like a true self-care moment. The staff was friendly, professional, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The salon itself was clean, welcoming, and had a calming atmosphere that made it easy to unwind.

A beautiful salon - and the most perfect manicure ever! Thank you Daria!

First time at the salon for removal of acrylics/gel nails that I’ve had for 20+ years and to do a dazzle dry manicure. The owner, Sue was great! Took her time to remove the fake nails with the least amount of damage possible- great manicure. Love the dazzle dry product too! Will definitely be going back.

Aizirek was truly amazing! Coming from a licensed nail technician myself, it can be difficult to find someone whose work and technique I genuinely trust especially since I can’t do my own non dominant hand. I also wanted to start my journey with builder gel to help grow out my natural nails, as I have struggled with nail biting. She did an incredible job. Her precision, attention to detail, and overall technique are truly impressive. The structure and finish of the builder gel application were flawless. You can tell she is highly skilled and takes pride in her work. 10 10 recommend

After doing my own Dazzle Dry manicures at home the last 2 years it was a wonderful experience to have Gigi do my DD manicure. DIF is a clean, quiet, friendly and relaxing place. I’ll definitely be returning.

The attention to detail these nail artists provide is impeccable... seriously, they’re perfectionists in the best way! They did the best job on my manicure. I’ve officially found my new go-to nail salon and booked my next appointment. I'm addicted!

I received a great manicure. She cleaned up my cuticles and polished them. I look great. Thanks.

I’m so grateful I finally found a salon that gives me perfect results every time. I don’t ask for anything crazy, except I want my nails all same shape and length, polish nicely and it’s amazing how actually difficult that has been to find in my lifetime. The very few nails techs I have found to do good work were often running behind, delaying my whole day. At Brilliant Nails, they always start and finish on time. My nail appts used to give me anxiety bc of the inconsistent results, so badly that it got to the point I stopped getting my nails done for a year before I found brilliant nails.

Jenny did an amazing job with my French tip no chip nails! She was so friendly from the start, helped me pick out a regular nail polish to my desire! I feel bad I did not ask for the name of the kind woman who did my pedicure, but she was amazing as well! Very thorough and easy on my ticklish feet. Thank you DIF for the amazing treatment and nails!

Hands down, the best manicure I have ever received. Already booked my next appointment! Thanks Alina! You're a true artist!
