Friendly staff, walk-ins welcome, great hours. Competitive pricing for the area, but they do try to up-sell you with additional services such as massage. Satisfied with their eyebrow waxing. Best for simple nails, I wasnt satisfied with their work when I asked for any kind of trendy design. Most importantly their pedicure sanitary practices were not up to my standards, they re-use foot scraping tools which are difficult to sanitize and are not recommended. Overall, a convenient budget-friendly place to get a simple or last-minute polish change.

Attempted to go the other day, a guy inside told me they were out of business. Just putting this info out for everyone to know.

THIS SALON IS UNSANITARY TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS. 1) the technician used a shared bottle of oil to brush oil onto the cuticle scissors that had my dead cuticles still hanging on them then put that same oil brush back in the bottle to use again on future customers. 2) the technician tore the cuticle on my pinky and I started bleeding. She tried to stop the bleeding and apologized a lot but then just painted over it, and continued to dip the brush mixed with my blood into the nail polish. That nail polish was not discarded, and was put back on the wall for future customers. 3) within a week of going to this salon, I developed an infection under my toenail and had to take antibiotics for paronychia. Ive never had this happen before in my life and am 100% certain it is a result of the unhygienic practices at this salon.
