I love this place! It’s a little pricier than the neighboring salons, but only by a couple dollars for any given service. I usually get a wax(Brazilian and/or eyebrow), manicure, and pedicure and I’ve had great experiences every time. I come to this salon every 3 – 4 weeks without fail and I always look forward to it. I’ve gotten my nails done by a couple of nail technicians, but my favorite is always Linda. She always goes the extra mile and gives great hand and foot massages. She makes sure my massage chair is always turned on and she constantly checks in with me to make sure I like the nail color, that the water feels right, and that the massage is good. She also does my waxes as well and she’s always very thorough. The last time I went, I made my appointment towards the end of the day and unexpectedly added a manicure to my list of services for the evening. Linda did a great job and let me stay 30 minutes passed closing so that she could finish up and I could dry the polish all the way through. The salon itself is spacious, clean, and relaxing. I usually make appointments, but even when I walk in or bring a friend with me they always have room to take me. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the neighborhood. After going to every salon in the area for various services, I strongly feel that Palisades is the best one around.

Bad experience and this is New Year’s Eve. The lady stressed me out. She was not paying attention and some of my toe nails were not even fully polished. I asked her to redo everything. Don’t know her name but she clearly does not do her job well. The manicure was done by the owner and it was much better. But I was disappointed with the whole experience.

Loved it! Came in here on a whim because my husband plays soccer near by. I’ll definitely find my way back here whenever he plays!

A good neighborhood find in Palisades! I called about availability bc my normal place was booked. When I arrived, I found the salon bright and clean with a good nail polish selection. The woman, Sandra who gave me my pedicure did a great job and took the time to properly handle my pedicure. She also gave me a great foot massage which was so relaxing. When I don’t have time to get to Varnish Lane(my favorite) for a treat, this will be my go to spot.

worst manicure ever. it took the technician almost an hour to remove my old gel nail polish and file my nails — very poorly and jaggedly — down to wick on a few and with hang nails and rough cuticles still in tact — before i decided to cut my losses and leave before waiting for what i thought could only be a disastrous, and overly time consuming, gel manicure. I get my nails done all the time but this was the worst ‘manicure’ I have ever had and a total waste of $ 18…

This is a great nail salon! I will definitely be going back. I went for the first time on 1⁄9 and was immediately impressed with the lovely modern décor. Its very clean and I was warmly greeted as soon as I walked in(they greeted everyone the same way-you can tell they want your business). Sophia was my tech and she was great! She was very personable and patient-it took me a minute to decide how I wanted my gel french mani done. She took her time doing my nails and was very thorough. She even checked my nails several times after filing and painting them to make sure they were on point. I really appreciated her attention to detail. My french mani turned out beautifully. In the words of The Terminator, I’ll be back…

Just went into this place for the first time and loved it. The establishment was clean, beautifully decorated and the women working there were very friendly. Linda did my gel manicure and did an amazing job. Can’t wait to go back!

This place opened a few months ago and I’m sad I waited so long to come in! It’s clean, run by friendly folks, and Kayla’s work was absolutely meticulous. Definitely coming back to see how they fare on pedicures and more ridiculous nail art. Planning an appointment? There is a busy parking lot available for free, but plenty of suburban ‘hood parking all over, should it be full.(Very likely) You can pay with a card, but tips are cash only. Fear not, there is a mini market just down the row with an ATM that only charges $ 2.
