Reviews of BASECOAT on Fifth Nail Spa
Keller Donnell
I will never get my nails done anywhere else! They do such an amazing job! It’s clean, comfy and calm in there. I absolutely love going to get my nails done! And they last!!
Emily Timmons
It was so cute and clean, to start off. I got taken back right at my appt time. Letty did my nails and she did such an amazing job. The acrylic wasn’t too thick or thin, the shape is exactly what I asked for as well as the design!! Overall I was impressed with this place! I’ll definitely be coming back.
Elizabeth Casement
I always have a great experience at this nail salon. The aesthetic is beautiful and the techs are all meticulous. I never leave there disappointed in the quality or with crookedly-filed nails. On several occasions I’ve had techs go out of their way to do things that took extra time so that the final product was excellent. AND you can book online. A huge plus! I’ll go back again and again.
Taylor Gee
I’ve recently switched salons and let me tell you, my experience was WONDERFUL. First, the salon itself is clean and stylish. It made me feel luxurious just walking in lol They operate by appointment mostly (which I LOVE), and after I signed in I was greeted by Eily almost immediately. I went in for a fill and walked out with practically a brand new set. Eily reshaped my nails(I only wear stiletto) and they looked amazing before she even put the polish on, I was blown away! I gave her a vague idea of how I wanted my nails done and told her she can take the wheel, she was excited to be creative and it shows in her work. She puts a lot of care and love into what she does! I’ve found my new nail tech and will not be going anywhere else, she’s amazing 🖤🖤

I have used this nail salon for months and all the nail techs do a great job! They are probably one of the best in town. I love Wendy, she is very meticulous and takes her time with ensuring my nails look great. However, they are expensive and up charge for little things. My nails are almond shaped and asked for the same shape with dip. I was up charged for the almond shape, when they did nothing extra for my nail shape! If you get ANY other shape than the regular square- you will be up charged. They also charge for removing the old polish/dip. This is not fully disclosed by anyone, until of course you are finished and go to pay. I don't like that and will likely not return. When you pay nearly $70 for a dip color change WITHOUT a manicure, that is obscene. I don't want to be charged extra for what is already included in a standard nail dip. Parking is horrible as well.
Hunter Bowden
best nails I’ve ever had. They can do the best designs, they are all so friendly. They offer you drinks while you’re there… they make your whole experience a 10/10.
Morgan Harvey
I highly recommend this place! I had high expectations but was nervous since I had never been before. They were extremely nice and recommended what would fit best for my needs and wants and my nail tech hand painted these designs and it's literally a mirror image of the picture I showed her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ❤❤
Lauren D Bigbee
Recently moved downtown, and sadly my previous salon is no longer convenient to me. I’d heard positive things about Basecoat on Fifth, but I don’t think I’ll be returning. Giving three stars as the salon was super cute, very clean, and had great COVID practices (hand washing upon arrival, masking required). I was also pleased that there was no wait when I arrived for my appointment. My manicurist was nice, but it looks pretty darn bad. Though he pushed my cuticles back, about 50% of my nails look grown out about a week. Also have gel all over my fingers. We’ll see how they hold up, but for $45 (tip not included) I could’ve put regular polish on at home with markedly better accuracy. Contemplating having them re-done elsewhere.
kayli
I got a gel mani and I loved it! I can’t wait to come back; they did such a great job in my cuticles and took extra care with the nails. It was about $50!
Elizabeth Ann Presley
Love this salon! I made an appointment and got right in. I got a classic pedicure and a full set with gel. I will be back. :)
Zara Watson
I had an Astounding involvement in my tech! She was such a lot of enjoyable to converse with and extremely sweet. She payed scrupulousness in the entirety of her work which I appreciated . I got a pedicure, the treatment with the sugar clean and back rub it was really unwinding. I will be returning to her 10/10 suggest.
Ari S.
Eily is the BEST!! get your pedicures from her. She has a gentle touch and a warm spirit/heart. They're all Super nice but shes my FAVORITE! I'm visiting from Chicago, so I'm super particular and she nailed my Toes. Shape and All!
Thanks girl😘😘 …
Lizeth Guzman
Was an out of town walk in customer, they were able to get me in right away. Was impressed with their work, I had drip powder and gel polish change on my toes. Will be back next time I’m in town and in need a nail salon.

This is my nail shop that I visit when I’m in a pinch. I’ve been able to call and come in for service the same day, which is nice. They’re perfect for when I cannot get to my normal salon.
I always leave with great looking nails, but 3 days later, the top glossy coat begins to chip. They use a gel top coat on SNS for some reason??? My normal shop doesn’t do that, so I never deal with chipping. Besides that they look great and my tech was awesome.
The salon experience overall is okay. It’s like a typical minimall nail salon cosplaying a luxury experience. The few times Ive visited, there were always two nail techs yelling at each other from across the salon. Like, this is supposed to be a spa lol. If you’re going to charge luxury prices, have the experience match.
Caroline Madison
I love the people who work here. Miriam did my nails and she is excellent! Beautiful salon. Fun employees. Great atmosphere. Great work.
Jenny Aguilar
I really really wanted to love this place. It was clean, staff was friend and great atmosphere.
The day of I was really happy with the work. Unfortunately if I’m paying $40+ for dip I expect it to last more than 4 days.
I went back 14 hrs after my first apt. Because one of the nails had already cracked. The owner was really accommodating & fixed that single nail.
Unfortunately by Saturday I could see the other nails beginning to crack.
The owner once again provided great customer service and redid all of my nails free of charge. The third time around the manicure lasted ~3weeks.
3 stars overall given that I had to go back three times for a lasting manicure.
Cortney Scurlock
So thankful that I was referred to Basecoat on Fifth! Quincy was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back and looking forward to getting a pedicure there, as well!
Katy Ashley Orr
Love basecoat on 5th. They do their work well, kindly, and in good time without making you feel rushed. They are so welcoming and their services always leave me feeling cared for and beautiful!
Amber F
After months of searching, I can finally say I’ve found the place that gave me perfect acrylic nails that look exactly like what I asked for. I’m OBSESSED with how my nails turned out. As for the salon itself, it is absolutely gorgeous and the cleanest I have seen out of all the other places I’ve tried. My natural nails were extremely damaged from the place I had previously been to, and the nail tech was extremely detailed and careful when working with my pitiful nails. He gave me the most beautiful set of acrylic nails that I’ve had in years. Every staff member was kind and welcoming as soon as I walked through the door. I can happily say I’ve found my new nail salon!
Jacqui Inman
Best nail experience I've had. Went in with my father to get pedicures, they were very professional and accommodating. Miriam and Gabby were very precise and thorough, and very sweet and interactive with guests. I then had Ely for my full set acrylic manicure. She was extremely detail oriented and gave me the best looking matte black stiletto nails anyone could ask for, I wish I could show in pictures but the camera does no justice. Very talented and very sweet girls. I think I've finally found a salon I prefer!
Alexandra Lloyd
First time and I got exactly what I wanted! I went for a removal of a dip powder as well as a gel manicure and was very pleased with the result.
Pros: the recommendation of color (I like the popular combo of bubble bath+Funny bunny but opted for a one color because I went for gel and he advised well), the decor and cleanliness of the salon, friendliness of the staff, the attention to detail of my manicurist (a young asian I don’t know the name of).
Cons: I called to make my apt and no one told me I had to wear a mask ahead of time (while in most places they currently don’t ask you to wear one) and they would charge me $3 for a disposable one, no one introduce themselves, they didn’t have+ didn’t offer water.
Overall great and would come back!
Rachel Arrington
Meticulous, Prompt, Rejuvenating- Highly recommend!
The atmosphere is simple and modern, making it easy to relax. My mom and I each received a Classic Pedicure. Both nail technicians were friendly and paid great attention to detail. We were both well taken care of and look forward to going back! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!
Lauryn Peoples
Loved my experience!! Very high quality atmosphere and service — which made me nervous because I assumed I would be paying high prices. However, my gel manicure was very affordable, if not cheaper than other places. Overall a great experience, friendly staff and I left happy, knowing I had great nails but didn’t drain my bank account for it.
Jill Hancock
I’ve only been here once and I don’t get my nails done very often but I had a really good experience here. I hadn’t done dip before and he explained the process as he did it and my nails looked great.
Tina Graham
In town for business. Best pedicure I’ve ever had in my life! Quincy’s service is perfection.
Amy Shackelford
Ely took me as a last minute walk in and really worked with me to find the right color and topper combination. She nailed the shape how I like (short but extremely rounded), so I was very impressed.
Leestigul Macklin
Lovely, Lovely spa!! Staff SUPER friendly, professional and fast! Made an appointment spur of the moment coming from out of town. They took me and three other family members. Very diverse clientele. Beautiful decor.
Jareliz Guzman
I recommend seeing Ely. She has done my nails a couple of times and it has been exceptional! She’s super nice and always makes sure I get what I want. She has great talent! I will forever have her do my nails. The salon it’s self is pretty nice. Ely’s area was super cleaned and had no issues whatsoever. Again I really recommend Ely!
Michelle Morris
Went for my first time this week for a basic manicure....winter is coming and my cuticles are ALREADY upset about it.
It's clean. Super convenient to my work downtown. And Quincy was excellent. Most people in there were getting fun or big designs so I know it must be great for that.
Only reason for 4/5 is because even though I made an appointment, I still waited and didn't get my manicure started until almost 40 minutes after my appointment which I arrived 10 minutes early for.
Audree Barkley
This is the only nail spa I will ever go to from now on. Everyone that works there is so friendly and happy. I always look forward to my appointment and my time with Elly, she takes her time and takes pride in her work and artistic design. I’m so thankful to have found this shop and bad a** chic
Rachel Gahan
Went in this afternoon for a walk in appointment and although I had to wait (I didn't mind), they totally accommodated and even stayed late to finish my manicure. I really appreciated it! Very kind employees and great pedi/mani! I'll make an appointment next time, but want to thank them for their kindness and great service!!
Gabriel Walls
Love coming here! The best pedicure! Whenever we are visiting the area seeing family we try to drop by for pedicures.
Rachel Popwell
Lovely staff, great nail work. They offer complimentary wine. Very modern and clean. Will keep returning.
LauraBeth Poole
I had a wonderful experience 😊 I arrived to my appt and they took me back immediately. The technician was nice and did an amazing job 👏 I will definitely be back! …
Lacey Davis
Very nice, clean space. I like the aesthetic and I was very comfortable the whole time. Quincy did a great job with my Mani/Pedi. Street parking downtown was not easy to find, but I will definitely be back.
Hana A
So great salon to do your nails 💅. The place is very clean and comfortable. Price is affordable for the basic service👍🏻. People who work there are so nice and do their work faithfully. I recommend it …
Megan Thompson
I love this place everyone is so nice & sweet The owner is the BEST acrylics nails artist! I love her work & she is up for any type of design you throw at her! Definitely worth visiting THANK YOU GUYS ALWAYS!
Geeky ArtDiva
Once again, Monique is EXCELLENT! The atmosphere is still casual chic and relaxing. I truly felt pampered 😊 my nails are beautiful ❤ …
Brynley Rainwater
Nothing but exceptional experiences at Basecoat! Always clean, friendly, and have always been ready for me when I arrive for my appointments and I leave with a perfect set of nails every time! Monique and Sharilyn do amazing work!
Tilly Foster
I am in love with this nail salon. The quality of their work and the friendliness of the staff is beyond enlightening. I couldn't be happier with my first time in this salon. Had a wonderful experience and the technician did a very thorough job of removing my dip/SNS and putting on a new set. They look great and I will definitely stop by again when in town next time! Thank you!
Sara W
Today was my first visit to the salon. I ran over on my lunch break. The entire staff were very nice, and Abigail did a fantastic job on my dip powder manicure. The decor is so modern and clean. The vibe is very peaceful. They offer beverages while you're having your nails done. I will definitely be back for more services very soon!
Lynn Winn
This place was amazing! It was my first time ever getting SNS and the woman who did my nails was so nice and sweet and talked me through the whole process! The length of my nails was just to my Liking and the shape is exactly what I wanted! Also the environment is very clean and prices are very reasonable. I will definitely go back again!
Martha Blanton
I came to Basecoat with high hopes and was not disappointed! The nail techs are very nice and know what they're doing. I love having fun nails, and Denise did such a beautiful job! I felt comfortable asking questions and communicating with what I wanted done. I would recommend making an appointment, since they seem to stay very busy. I can't wait to come back!
Katrina Nakhjavan
The salon is beautiful and the gentleman answering the phones is so nice and helpful. But my gel manicure (which took 45 minutes even with bare nails to start with) was not done well. The paint was uneven and you could see through areas where he did not apply enough. It started to come off after 1 week. Disappointing, bc the location is so convenient.
Tacoa Ball
I love going to BASECOAT on Fifth Nail Spa. The staff is friendly and professional. The location is close to work and nails beautiful. I am proud of you Quincy!!
Gabby Johnson
I loveeeee getting my nails done here!! I get a gel full set and Ellie never fails me!! It can be a little pricey, but i’ll pay that every single time for the way my nails look when i leave!! they do all the designs i want perfectly and file my nails so well, they look so natural. 10/10
Alisha Moss
Nice service! The prices are affordable. The masters are fast, clean and responsible. Thanks to the managers, who were doing manicure and pedicure. They are very nice girls, recommend them. Also pretty big choice of colors.
M Nguyen
Coming from out of town I looked up some Nail Salons in the area. I walked in greeted by a friend receptionist I got Gels Done by Quincy!
Hands down one of the best places to get your nails done 💅 I’ve been to a lot of places in the area and this one WAS a great/best experience!! The ladies and Gentlemen are very talented. The decor was appealing and it was very cleanI will definitely return when I am back in town. I recommend this place to anyone!
Tristan Rodney
Such a peaceful and beautiful spot. Service is absolutely top notch. I love every bit of the experience!
Mia Watkins
Ok, I don't even leave reviews, but I was compelled to for this place. I haven't had this thorough of a pedicure in a long time. It was a wonderful experience. I'm thinking about becoming a regular here. They were even understanding when I messed up the polish on my big toe and came back in to get it fixed. Did I mention that there's wine? There's wine, guys. It's such a wonderful atmosphere and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be coming back!
Brittany Ellis
Basecoat is by far THE BEST NAIL SALON IN BIRMINGHAM. I've been an on/off again resident of this city for 10 years and never have I had this experience in the city. I brought my mother (who hadn't had a pedi in years) and my little brother (who never had a mani or pedi) so it was interesting to start. Jan and Quincy were quick, professional, accommodating, friendly, personable, and did amazing work. I can't thank you all enough for no only providing top notch service but creating an experience my family and I will never forget for my mothers 50th birthday.
Veronica Parker
I was in town for the weekend and decided to treat myself to a manicure and gel nails. I was welcomed in. Everyone was busy but so friendly! My wait was short. I was offered and enjoyed a complimentary glass of wine. The warm towels to dry yours hands were so nice, especially on a rainy afternoon. My nails turned out great!
Nikki Marie
I’m new to Birmingham. And I have found it hard to find a nail salon. When I walked into this beautiful nail salon. I was asked “What service did you need”? I said a “Full Set and Gel polish” I was told I’m sorry we don’t offer that service. I honestly felt offended I’ve never came into a nail salon that doesn’t offer Artificial Nail/Acrylic/Gel Nail Services.
Honestly I was upset, but quickly understood and said Thanks and walked out. There is no sign at the salon or awareness on this listing that they don’t offer Artificial Nail service((At this time)) that’s important to know. But there’s pictures here on your listing that yet again makes me think that you all do artificial nails. Or now offer the service.
I walked two blocks over from work, that day. In Need of getting pampered and couldn’t. *****Beautiful salon, excellent Customer Service, Some wait time((there was a lot of people waiting to be served)).****
Thanks
Laurie Rapier
Basecoat on Fifth is my favorite nail salon! The space is nicely designed and decorated. The high ceilings and the floor-to-ceiling windows make it feel so spacious - not closed-in and stuffy like many salons. Everyone that I have interacted with there is friendly and actually seem glad to have you there as a customer. I highly recommend Basecoat!
Aimee Sherrod
We walked in and had no problem being seen. We each had a glass of wine. The nail tech took her time to soak off old polish instead of just grinding it down. So much attention was paid to make sure she took care of my nails. I got a beautiful shade of red OPI gel. I love the way they look and you cannot beat the price!
Kelsey
Such a convenient location for the communters that work downtown. I tried this place twice. They are kind people. The quality of their work just isn't as good as other spas around town. My gel peeled the first time in a couple days after. They fixed it however. The next time, a trainee provided the most uneven gel manicure I've ever seen. It was corrected the next day as they were close to closing and it took her 2 hours to perform the bad job. A week after that gel manicure, the polish was clearly a different shade. I've never had gel turn colors after a week of wearing or at all honestly. Others I've sent here have had satisfactory experiences. Just pay attention when getting services. Best of luck to you!
EDIT: I returned for the manicure offered by the owner in the response. The manicure was only done a day ago but it looks nice. The manicurist was kind but admittedthis isn't her regular salon location. She acknowledged they were short staffed so she was sent there and it was noticable the staff were unable to manage a small amount of customers. During my pedicure, 3 customers returned or called to ask to have recently done nails corrected. Sadly, that was my past experience. This was my 3rd attempt at using this salon. They just don't offer the quality of other salons in the city. The nail techs employed there desperately need a lead tech with experience to whip this place into shape. Only time will tell if this improves or the business closes.
Charsalyn Robinson
I love this place I’m here getting my nails done now they are so sweet and courteous. They do a great job and give you top service with complimentary wine 🍷 trust me this place is perfect …
Diana Perez
Ely the technician was an absolute beautiful ,caring ,dedicated professional the entire staff was so friendly and welcoming I recommend this establishment very highly absolutely 💯 👌 ❤ …
patrick king
Took my wife here last week. She absolutely love this place. Everyone is so nice! Jojo is absolutely amazing! The prices are pretty reasonable and they are very thorough with all of their services. She used to go to another nail spa that had many many locations but after finding this place I'm hooked! I'm glad she found a place near our house so I won't have to drive far.
Lindsey Button Hynes
Fast service, beautiful setting and great attention to detail. Reasonable pricing and nice color options
aida owen
I love the friendship the employees have. This place has a good vibe, They do an amazing job on your nails and don't charge as much as some of the nail spas in the area. The place is super clean and the ladies are really nice. The best thing is it's not so busy
Chelsea Willingham
Made an appointment and still had to wait over an hour. Giving 4 stars because the result was good and they provided wine.
Lane & Megan Oswalt
Yay for having a great nail salon downtown!! I've worked downtown for a few years and always wished there was somewhere I could go on my lunch hour - this place is AWESOME! SOOO nice and extremely professional and friendly employees. They got me in and out quickly so I was not late back to work. The girl did a great job on my nails also! Highly recommend!!
Brianna James
Came across this place while killing time downtown during holiday shopping season. Was Pleasantly surprised at the convenient downtown location, and loved the design of the place. It’s really beautiful. The staff are wonderful and now I have sparkly perfect holiday nails.
Megan Gionti
My 2nd time at Basecoat & I don’t want to go anywhere else! Love the convenient location & relaxing atmosphere. The manager Quincy ensured that I was taken care of in a timely manner, brought me a water & even pulled my chair out which is definitely not my typical nail salon experience. My 1st visit Jan did my dip powder & it lasted for 4 weeks! I was still getting complements on them even though my nails had grown out. My 2nd visit I saw Abby, she is very sweet & funny and does AMAZING with the dip powder too, my nails are not too thick & definitely have a smooth and glossy look. I also did the classic pedicure and the tech (can’t recall her name) really took her time and gave a great leg/foot massage. You definitely get what you pay for, HIGHLY recommend.
Stephanie Hamper
I visited Basecoat three times while visiting Birmingham. I had a pedicure and two gel manicures. The gel manicure was a reasonable $40. I think the pedicure I got was as well, but I'm not positive.
I had a different technician each visit, and all were wonderful! They were friendly as well as providing excellent work. In addition, they were great with my accompanying 2 year old.
Amanda Powell
This salon is a gem in downtown! I went in on a whim and received a very high quality manicure. I then proceeded to mess it up because I'm a klutz and went back the next day to get it fixed and they did no questions asked. They are just all around awesome. Can't recommend enough.
Leona Montaigne
Awesome experience! I had an hour to kill so Google guided me to this place for a simple pedi. I called first to see if they had people waiting and the girl on the phone was so sweet and told me there isn't a wait and to come over. I get there greeted with a smile, Impressive! Price point is great for the area, so come support this business!
Freda Parks
This has become my go to monthly nail spot. I never ask for anyone specific and honestly have no complaints about any of the technicians I've been with which is a good sign. My favorite thing about this place is how clean it is because that's a huge factor when I go to get my nails done.
Joyelle Wills
I don’t get mani and pedis because they have NEVER been relaxing. Every business I’ve ever used, shreds my cuticles, doesn’t pamper me like I’m the customer, and overcharges me for poor quality.
This was NOT the case at Base Coat!
This little gem is convientely located within walking distance of both UAB and Children’s. The owner, Quincy, is super friendly, very hospitable, and extremely knowledgeable about his products. The place is sparkly clean and has a really awesome modern deco. I definitely felt like I was in a ritzy place minus the stuck up employees and high dollar price tags!
I was offered a refreshing beverage and was able to enjoy my glass of red wine, while being spoiled by Jennifer, as I received, by FAR, the BEST mani and pedi I have ever received- withOUT an electric file.
For a little over $100, my daughter and I both had a complete hand and foot makeovers, free beverages, awesome customer service, and really fun conversations with Kiley, Quincy, Jennifer, Elizabeth, and Monique. This is my go-to place for now on, and I plan to treat myself more regularly because I enjoyed it just that much!
I’ll drive an hour out of my way (two in bad traffic)- just to go here!
Laura McFarland
Wonderful place, everything you want in a nail salon right downtown by UAB. Super nice staff, comfortable chairs, very clean (no fumes) & luxurious atmosphere. They even have padded rolling stools for the pedicurists! Great experience for $35, will be back.
Toshula Richardson
My first and last visit to this nice elegant shop yesterday left me very disappointed.. My tech could of cared less about my experience there. She spent the entire time either texting on her phone or talking to her coworker who seemed annoyed by her.. The first thing I noticed with the first product she applied to my nail was sticky thick and caked all around the bottle.. The services given to my friend by another tech didn't compare to this gloppy mess i got. Yes, we got the same thing.. I really didn't know what to expect with SNS product but i did know something was off because I observed a entirely different set up for my friend. My end result was very thick gloppy unnatural looking nails.. I thought to myself this place is too beautiful and expensive to have mediocre service and old sticky products..
Lydia Page
Everyone was friendly, the staff team spoke when needed in Vietnamese but never said anything about the clientele as some shops tend to do. It was very nice and professional. I would recommend the deluxe, it's worth it if you want to pamper yourself. Will be back next time I'm in town needing some me time.
Maisy Russell
This nail salon is beautiful! So clean and all staff members are so professional, All the techs are licensed, there is no sketchy feeling when you walk in, it's the most reassuring thing to know that you are in good hands and will be well taken care of.
Demi Mullins
Quincy and his team never cease to amaze me. The quality of this salon is truly unique and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I will never go to another salon again!
Emelia Garza
The manager was AMAZING!! She stayed late for us and my nails couldn't be more perfect! I am ready to go to TX with my boo If you go here, make sure to ask for the manager. She did above and beyond my expectations!
Eden Gosney
Best Nail Salon in Birmingham! I have lived here for years and never found a nail place i have loved. Base Coat has great prices and is so clean. Ask for Quincy! He did a PERFECT job.
Lucy Craig
I absolutely love BASECOAT on Fifth. I got green marbled acrylics and they’re the most gorgeous set I’ve ever had! Everyone is so nice and the space is beautiful.
Malanie Sisterson
Enjoyed my relaxing visit to the salon. I have only gotten a pedicure one other time as I'm not a huge fan of them but this one did not disappoint one bit. It was amazing!!
Rose Brown
Can't say enough great things about my whole experience at BASECOAT! Everyone was very friendly and professional, the atmosphere is relaxing and chic, and their prices are super reasonable! I got a gel mani on my lunch break, and I was in and out in under 40 minutes. So pleased!! I'll definitely be back!
Nelson GD
Very nice place. I came in on my vacation to get my pedicure done as a walk in. They instantly took me in and they spent time making sure it was done right. My pedicure was awesome, I recommend this place to everyone, you won't be disappointed.
Anita Pelletier
Visiting Birmingham and decided to get mani pedis with my daughters on Christmas Eve. Great service with very friendly staff. Nails turned out great. Even tried some nail art with my cell manicure that looks awesome.
Nicole Harvey
Always professional and I was very happy with how my nails looked afterwards. Easy to make an appointment via phone.
Kelsey Crawley
Quincy was great! I was in and out with a gel manicure and a pedicure. If I’m ever back in town I’ll be sure to stop by this place. Nice atmosphere, clean, and the staff was extremely nice.
Janet Marie Gunnels
My nails have waves where the tips were put on, and the tech pushed my cuticles back so forcefully that she drew blood on 3 fingers.
havanna lambert
Me and my friend came as a walk in and got in and done so fast! And it was great quality! I got designs on mine from a picture I showed then and they turned out amazing!
Lexi Perry
Gel polish literally doesnt chip. If it wasnt for my nail growth i wouldnt need a manicure. Highly recommend not to mention the pedicure massage was exquisite.
Jeanie Daigle
I had the best pedi from this place! The woman was so courteous and nice. they really take their time here and treat you well. Definitely will be coming back again!
Live Laugh Love
My friend brought me here to get a manicure 💅 The Chinese man was talkative and did a great job. I felt welcomed and loved my nails afterwards 😌 …

I love this place, but they do get busy. Also, they open at 9:00 but don't expect to be waited on at that time. I usually arrive at 9:30 - it's usually 9:15 before nail techs show up. So don't come here if you're in a hurry.

It was really nice place and great service... It has been almost a year since I had a mani pedi and the tech Kim did an awesome job. She worked hard, 😂😂😆. Plus they have 🍷 …

I promised myself I would wait until I came in a couple times before reviewing so I could do so for consistency. This place is the bomb!!! There is attention to detail, friendliness, quality experiences and I wish I had something negative to say but I don't. Go here for your mani /pedis. You won't be sorry. You'll be glad you came!

Brittni Ball
Cleanest, closest, and most painless cuticle-cutting I’ve ever had. Techs had to swap so a different tech did each hand, and both were equally great.

Decent place. I went for an sns and asked for tips, to which the technician replied “we don’t do sns with tips because the sns will break” needless to say, that was my first and last visit.
