I always have an amazing experience with Tere. Affordable prices, and a long-lasting manicure with great retention and very little lifting. I usually get the structured gel manicure because it provides the stability of hard gels, without having to sacrifice the ability to soak off myself if needed. I appreciate that Tere is also always willing to try my wild nail art ideas. Highly recommend a visit, especially if you've had bad gel manicure experiences in the past—Tere takes extra precautions to ensure you have a hygienic and safe experience.

I’m very impressed with this salon- from front desk staff who was pleasant and friendly, to cleanliness and overall really nice environment. Iryna did my nails- very very meticulous job from start to finish. Not only was she friendly and receptive to my requests, she did an absolutely beautiful job on my nails.. it was obvious she was well trained and her work shows it. I will definitely be back.

I had a Japanese manicure and regular polish pedicure. Great experience! Ilona was very kind, making sure I was comfortable and and checking in with me during the appointment. She is detail-oriented and takes a lot of time and effort to make sure my nails looked great at the end. I can't wait to go back.

I had an overwhelming day at work and Tere encouraged me to close my eyes and listen to my podcast and just have some quiet time. It was so appreciated!

Wow! From the moment I walked in, the experience was exceptional. Ilona greeted me at the entrance and personally walked me to her space. She offered me a comfortable chair, placed my purse on a special little purse chair, took my jacket, and even offered coffee, tea, and chocolates. The attention to detail was incredible and carried through to the service itself. My nails are exceptionally well done, and Ilona paid attention to every little detail—from the shape to the color. Everything was done with care and precision. I was so impressed that I scheduled my next appointment today!

Tere is a miracle worker and was able to salvage a nail I would have bet was irreparable. I’ve been getting many compliments on the nail design she created.

I have 4 months going to her. I never had Russian manicure and pedicures before and I will never go back to regular pedicure. Fiona is also very artistic with her nail design. I definitely contine having her as my new nail tech.
