Ok so I went and say Tiffanie and she did an awesome job.  Spoke english very well, and was able to hold a conversation with me.

Sure the place is a little hard to find, and the parking was tight and the inside of the place wasn't great at all, but the service made up for it.

When I walked in one lady greeted me, all the nail techs were helping a customer, and she said it would be a few minutes, so I sat down and read some magazines, not long after, Tiffanie greeted me and did an awesome job on my nails, and it didn't hurt my wallet either.  

Yeah I wouldn't be getting a pedicure here either.

ASK FOR TIFFANIE!!!

I dont know if I can stress that enough but make sure you ask for her!!!  She's awesome and fast and can speak english pretty well!

Its a scary thing seeing a new hairstylist, a new doctor, and definitely a new nail person.  Your fears of going to someone new always brings up questions of: "Am I going to be satisfied with what they do, is it going to turn out okay? Is mine going to look as good as my friends?"

A good friend of mine swears by her and I swear by my nail lady, and after seeing my little cousin's new set and our receptionist's new set, I figure what the hell I'll give Miss Tiffanie at Perfect 1 a shot.

As I walked in I was greeted by whom I believe might have been the owner.  Don't be shocked when you walk in and you're not surrounded by a beautiful nail spa type environment because its not like that whatsoever.  The place is a bit untidy.  The floors are just dull, the walls need some TLC, and the stations well...ummm hmmm....NO COMMENT!

I came in there with my previous set which I love from my usual gal, and I asked Tiffanie to give me something new and fun.  I usually get french tips with the traditional pink and white tips, but this time I wanted to try to something new.  Now I've gotten a colored tip set from my nail tech before but the way Tiffanie at Perfect 1 does it is almost an art.

One of my friend's always has fun colors with great little floral designs that aren't over done and her nails always look very natural!  

Well Tiffanie did an amazing job, though I wasn't too impressed on the environment my service was damn well.  Didn't hurt a bit, she spoke English quite well with me and her speaking in a different language with the others didn't make me feel like she was talking shit about me.

I definitely will be returning to her for my next fill and probably will be going back. BUT I don't think I'll be getting a pedicure from there...BUT YOUR NAILS BY TIFFANIE, is something I can recommend!!!

So what I said about the PEDICURE thing...I LIED!!! LOL I went to go in to get my nails done, my usual 2 week visits and noticed that I needed a pedicure badly.  So Julia hooked it up!!!  She was the best.  Didn't over push my cuticle or scratch up my nail bed.  My pedicure lasted for a good month, well it grew of course, but the nail polish stayed.  I swear a sander couldn't get off the color!!  The place is on its way to getting redone.  New pedicure chairs with beautiful leather seats installed, the walls are also getting redone as well to be a little more chic and girly.  

I love going in to see Tiffany and Julia, well the entire staff is great.  I brought my daughter in one time for my fill appointment ( and I usually leave the rugrat home so I have time to relax).  The ladies were super accommodating and very sweet about her being there.  They kept her entertained and didn't seem to be too rudely annoyed by her.  Thank god!!! (sometimes I get annoyed by my own child LOL JK)  I recommend these girls to anyone...  

I constantly get compliments left and right about my nails and its all thanks to TIFFANY!!!  Oh and my man is pretty happy about me rubbing my feet against his leg, thanks to JULIA!!!

I went to see Tiffany based on reviews and referrals from "The Yelpers".  I previously went to see Christine during  Christmas 2006. However, I stopped getting my nails done, because a nail tech told me that I was ruining my nails and that they didn't need to be done. Well, I recently picked up the "habbit" again and went and saw Tiffany. I have to say that I was impressed by her knowledge and skill at her hand. I don't ever know why I decided to stop coming to this nail place. Oh, I know why! Maybe it's because it's too far from me. Why 4 stars instead of 5? Because I had an appointment at 10:00 am and she was not availiable until 10:15. It always seems as if they never see me on time. If you ever want to get a french set, see Christine. She rocks! She is soo awesome at what she does which is the french set. She is who I saw before Tiffany.

I should've listened to other Yelpers, they said to see Tiffanie;  i didn't - ended up with 3 cuts, 4 crooked nails and a very sloppy paint job.  
They were very friendly and took me in for a manicure as a walk-in, so I appreciated that.  
A few other observations - the place looks quite clean, and the staff is friendly;  however, the girl who was working on my nails didn't bother to use clean towels or to fix the crooked nails.  Their polish is old (tried 2 different bottles); the thinners work only so well, and eventually it changes the color - if I come back to see Tiffanie again, i'll probably bring my own.  Oh, and it's cash only, although i think they take checks as well.  
My quest for a good nail place continues.

By the time I got home yesterday, I noticed that all of my polish bubbled and had cracks - I called back this morning and asked them to re-apply.  They were very nice about it, didn't charge me and the same lady took off the polish and re-applied new one.  I chose a different bottle, just in case.  Just a few hours later, the new polish has bubbles on most fingers, and looks cracked in some places.  There's really no going back to this place.. i've tried.
