What Our Clients Say About Us
I always have a fantastic experience with Tabitha. She's so warm and welcoming, it's like hanging out and chatting with an old friend. Plus since she is a nail tech teacher she is up on the science behind all the products and techniques used and makes sure you get the nails you want that will last. I'm so glad I found this gem of Riverside!
I loved going to this place as a client and a student. While you are a student you learn a lot about what you want to know, any detail about your nails or eyelashes, and as a client you feel like at home and relaxed, and also with a lot of good vibes and kindness from your teacher, and if you have any questions or want to know something, she helps you with kindness and respect, it's nice to arrive at a place and they make you feel welcome and that they like to do their job in a friendly and loving way.
