The entire team was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They offered me coffee and tea, made sure I was comfortable, and created such a warm and relaxing atmosphere. A special thank you to Nadya (Nadezhda) and Gia for their outstanding work. They were professional, patient, and paid great attention to every detail. I came in with a reference photo, and honestly, the final result turned out even better than I expected. The shape, design, and overall execution were flawless. The salon is clean, stylish, and very welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and take pride in their work. I’m absolutely in love with my nails and have already received so many compliments!

Yevva took her time, like a scientist, LOVED. It looks super clean and my feet feel super soft :) I bought a new pumice to maintain until I go back. Next time, I will book an appointment for the AM.
