“Not a good place to go for nails. $95 for this is just awful! They’re not even that long and it looks like a kids work! You can see my actual nail underneath🤦🏽♀️. Definitely ask the price before any work is done. I never would’ve paid more than $75 in an average nail salon for this! Never will I go back there again.”

“I loved the nail tech Tracy. The place needs an update, but I was able to walk in at 4pm so that was good. I was pretty desperate for pedicure. It’s really convenient downtown and I was able to find street free parking on a Tuesday. The only thing I think could have been better was the painting of the toenails. Polish touched the cuticle on 7 toes. I don’t care for that because it doesn’t grow out nice. Otherwise it was ok for the price. $35 for pedicure I. Downtown Charlottesville. I tipped $7 regardless. Happy to find a place asap.”

“They got us in super fast then did our manicure and pedicure fast. We were in there for not even 30 minutes for a mani and pedi. They added gratuity to our bills as well. Couldn’t wait to get out or even stand to ask them to fix our nails because of there demeanor.”

“Im so glad to have found this place in Charlottesville. All of the staff are so kind and do a great job. Laura is awesome, always pays close attention to details and has been really great in doing nail patterns or colored tip designs recently. I 100% recommend! Try to call ahead in advance to make an appointment.”

“Just found my Cville nail salon. I’ve tried 3 since moving here a year ago. Appreciated the warmth of the staff, care and comfort for my sore feet and legs, and the price. Great pedi!”
