I should've left when I heard the customer next to me talk about the nail infection she got after her last visit here. Welp, it's about a month after I got my nails done and I'm writing because the damage my nails underwent are too drastic to ignore. I have scars in my nails and my nails are extremely thin and shaved down. The customer service was horrible and I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy goes here. Even if you are extremely desperate you are better off letting a 7 year old do your nails. Take the red flags.

I love coming to this nail salon! I forgot to take pictures the last two times, but I made sure to do it this time. I always show up with challenging designs & Pong creates beautiful art everytime. The nails are a work of art! I can't wait to go back

Horribly expensive. Not a great color selection. The owner is not friendly and makes the energy strange in the building

I came in for a quick mani/pedi. They used liners around the foot tub and had plastic barriers up to protect their clients and themselves. As I walked in they asked me to sanitize my hands and had sanitizer by the door. My mani was quick and I was impressed by the results. I'm a big nail bitter and they did amazing work with such short nails. My pedicure was okay. It was super quick and I wish they had spent more time scrubbing and massaging my feet. She started painting my toes nails right away and then finished them off with a quick massage. I thought it was an odd process since the lotion

So, during the pandemic of Covid-19, there was no place to take my mother for her usual manicure/pedicure. After the critical stage of Covid-19 had passed, I left messages with several salons to no avail. I was surprised to receive a message from this salon and decided to try them out. My mother has had her nails done all over the world, which most people would not assume. We were over an hour late to our appointment due to Uber and personal challenges as my mother is 91 years old. The owner(s) waited for our arrival and provided excellent service and treated my mother with the utmost respect

I got a manicure and a pedicure. I loved the work of the lady who made my feet, but my hands a complete disaster. At the beginning I asked if they could make the design that is in the photo and they said to me yes. Everything was going well until the moment of design ... it was not the color that I wanted and although I told her repeatedly that I do not like the color she insisted on putting the color that she wanted ... the lines of the decoration are not defined , I think my 3-year-old son makes more defined lines .... additionally there was no cuticle cut and under the nails it was horrible
