Zhen-Mei Huang Amazing nails with the most DETAILED nail art! Shoutout to Tammy for this beautiful design. Highly recommend + very high detail to cuticles and filing.

m m An exquisite experience and I have never felt more trusting of a talented team. The haircut was beyond my high expectations, the salon really understand its niche and clientele. I am so grateful to have now found a great stylist in Albany area, so many come and go and this placed has remained to stay unwavered. Lovely skillful hairstylists that are worth everything to put your faith in trusting hands. My hair is perfect now because they gave me an excellent trim and style. Thank you perfect cut!

Maria Redfern Went here for the first time today. Treated myself to a pedicure and acrylic nails. I read reviews prior and was booked with Sonny. Sonny did an amazing job and took his time with my nails. They turned out EXACTLY like the picture I showed him. My pedicure was great too but I chose basic white nails and the standard pedicure and my pedi was done by another staff. She did a great job as well and was friendly and made sure I was content with what she was doing. As someone who has not been to the nail salon in over 2 years I was so glad I came today. Sonny was so precise and careful, not once did I feel burning on my nails from the drill nor was I cut at all. Truly an amazing experience. Thank you so much!

Nicole G. Went there for the first time to get my nails and feet done for graduation and was very pleased. Tan is very creative with work which I like the most, give him the color and let him freestyle..

Lisa Saunders Always recommend this nail salon. Lee is the best nail tech and owner. I cant say enough positive things about her and the shop. Her brother, Michael, always gives me the best pedicure too.

Betsy Kapner This place is probably the best place in the Capital District. Everyone is professional and very friendly. The services are also 5 star. I’ve never had a complaint.Grace the owner lives up to her name…

Maria I was a walk in, first time I came to this salon for a gel manicure. Mia prepped by base, and ryan painted my nails. Both of them are amazing and have great customer service, especially from Mia. My nails came out great. They took their time and paid attention to details. I have been to many nail salons in the area, and some of them are so much busier, BUT this place is my new gem, I will be going back for sure and definitely recommend checking it out !!!

Hannah Malicki The best nail salon with the most talented nail techs!! I leave so happy with my nails every single time I come! My dip manicure always lasts so long and looks amazing! They have the best color selection and keep it constantly updated with the seasons :)

Ashlee Duclos This was my first visit here. It was clean and I got seated at a pedicure chair right away. However the water was like warm at best and no one glanced in my direction long enough to ask for them to add some hot water. Once the nail tech came over, she was very friendly. The massage is always my favorite part and she didn’t disappoint. Is this place like best ever can’t wait to go back? No, it’s very run of the mill. But my toes look nice, it was clean and fairly priced. I will return.

Mackenzie Weber A little hole-in-the-wall place, tidy and cozy. I had a fill and a pedicure done by a nail tech named Zhang Meng, he took his time, he was very gentle and detail oriented. The nail art is beautiful, and the pedi was nice and relaxing. It took a good hour and a half, so give yourself lots of time. But it was worth it. Highly recommended. Not sure what all the negative reviews are on about. UPDATE: been going here regularly for 2 years. All the reviews saying that the staff are rude and they hurry - yeah, sometimes they hurry if you dont make an appointment and expect to be served right away, or roll in 10 minutes before closing and ask for a full set or something, or sit down and expect a 15 minute manicure. They take their time, they get it right. And if youre polite, the staff will reflect that. I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Nails are always on point, all the nail techs are excellent, if they make a mistake with your nails theyll do them again (only happened once over dozens of times!) Never had a broken nail that wasnt my fault (acrylic will crack and chip under normal wear, but yall should know this already.) And if Koko makes a suggestion, yall better listen to her. She knows what shes talking about. She and the other nail techs have actually saved me from my own bad design or color ideas a few times - shes never steered me wrong.
