Reviews
What our clients say
From 142 verified Google reviews.
"April Nails might not be the cleanest or most visually appealing spot— but the service? Always top-tier. Vee consistently delivers flawless nails, every single time. I’m used to salons where you need an appointment, the ambiance is curated, and champagne or wine is part of the experience. But…"
"I was skeptical of this place due to the reviews but I have to say I got excellent service. I broke two of my nails and wanted to get everything removed and just keep my nails and get them polished. Vi took her time and did an awesome job."
"Massage chairs were comfortable, friendly service, incredible work! I love it when"
"I had a great experience here. Tony was so nice and gave me a awesome freestyle Valentine nail design. The price was reasonable and the salon is very clean. I will definitely be back and I would refer anyone that’s in the canal street area to go here."
