“I got my nails done by Laura just over 2 weeks ago for my Wedding. She did an amazing job helping me figure out what the best design and colours could be for what I envisioned. This is the first time my nails have held up this long and still look really good, which is a miracle since I work with my hands.
Best service I’ve gotten in a really really long time. Thank you Laura.”
“It was my first time ever getting gel extensions and I LOVE them! Anna did a very good job and I will definitely be coming back to get my nails done again sometime soon!!”
