The chrome nails here are incredible. I've tried chrome at 4 salons in Manila and this is the only one where it looks seamless, not patchy. The lounge atmosphere is also just very comfortable. My Makati nail spot.

Came here for chrome nails before a wedding. The result was absolutely stunning. Staff were so professional and the price was very reasonable for how intricate the work was. This is now my regular salon.

Great salon. Chrome nails done perfectly. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the wait on Saturday was longer than expected even with a booking. Everything else was excellent — would recommend.
