Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Michelle is amazing! I am so excited to have found my go-to nail salon in Reno!!! This was the most informative and thorough manicure I’ve ever gotten in my life (which I love, by the way)! And in addition to that, I have full confidence in the quality of the products she uses, and I don’t feel like I’m compromising the health of my nails long term. That is very important to me, as I am conscious about what I put in and on my body, and I feel like Michelle gets that! I am very hard on my hands and nails, and in addition to that, my nails are quite weak. I’ve found that getting a gel manicure helps stave off additional breakage and keeps me always looking polished (pardon the pun)!” – Darcy M.
