    “have been going to Only Nails for over a year now. They are under new management and the new managers are super nice. I see Kieu who is excellent, I have small fingers and nails which are hard to work with but she does a fantastic job. Kieu is an artist and can freestyle nail art as well as draw anything you bring her. Her husband Mike works there too and they treat me like family. Everyone who works at Only Nails have been kind and welcoming. They take walk in's and appointments. If you know when you are going it's best to make an appointment. I feel like their prices are great, below some of the other places in town. Stop by and see them, I think you will be happy that you did.”

    “I had a wonderful pedicure experience at only nails and I highly recommend others go and have a wonderful experience themselves. I'll be honest in that I rarely get pedicures but now I am hooked after my experience at Only Nails owners, Jenny and David make you feel so comfortable and at home. Jenny makes her own Epson rubs for your foot and calf massages that are absolutely wonderful and smell amazing! I was fortunate to have Mai for my pedicure and she gave me a long and deep foot and calf massage and as an avid tennis player, between the homemade Epson salt rubs and Mai's deep and careful massage, I left there feeling amazing and my toes looked incredible! I think I am now hooked on pedicures! I will be back for sure!”

    “I am on vacation & broke a nail! I looked up nail salons near me & ONLY NAILS had good reviews and same day availability. I had the pleasure of having Bella do my nails and she was a PERFECTIONIST! She took the time to do a brand new set for me to my exact specifications. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism. When i’m back in town, i’ll come see you again!”

    “BEST NAIL PLACE EVER!! I felt so relaxed Bella was amazing I’ve never had such great service and intentionality! Offered me something to drink right away and I seriously enjoyed every minute I usually dred nail salons because they hurt and are boring but Bella was so gentle it felt like I was getting a massage!! I couldn’t recommend more. She even offered me a phone charger when my phone was dying. And constantly asked if I was comfortable or in pain when filing my nails. Such a nice facility too! nicely renovated and relaxing music!! Owner was so sweet!”
