I have come here a lot since they opened, but I'm afraid that will come to a stop after today.  The last few times haven't been as pleasant as my early visits.  My polish wasn't applied professionally, I felt like they rushed the process, etc.  but today was the worst experience so far.  When doing my pedicure, they cut my foam toe separator in half so it only covered my last three toes instead of using an entire toe separator on each foot.  Seriously - is this saving their business maybe 2 cents?  Needless to say, when I left the chair to walk to the drying station, the toe separator came completely off ruining the polish on both feet requiring the man to completely redo four of my toenails while I was sitting at the drying station.  Now I feel as if I can't leave the building until they are completely dry or it will happen again.  And the redo of the nails looks bad - but I'm not going to complain today as I don't want to go through it again - I just won't come back.  There's plenty of other nail salons close by that don't cut corners.

My friend treated me and my daughter to a manicure-pedicure.  Thus, I do not know the exact cost, but it seems expensive.I felt the Vietnamese staff were very professional as well as kind.  Sufficient attention seemed to be given to every aspect of the experience.My friend and my daughter had their nails painted.  Beautiful job and many colors to pick amongst.  My friend goes here every three weeks to a month.I agree it is busy there but we were given attention immediately.

I was very disappointed with this place. It was in a nice area and busy, looked clean and they seemed nice enough. I came in with bare nails wanting a shellac manicure. I've had many shellac manicures over the last few years. This was my first one in the greater Birmingham area. Overall I'm shocked at the prices at all nail salons here. I called my nail salon back home to verify, sure enough $25 for shellac manicures there ($14 for basic manicures). Envy Nails, $39 for a simple shellac manicure!!!! What???!! It didn't even occur to me to ask before I sat down. (No prices displayed here) Who'd have ever thought it would be that much? Not me. I cannot for the life of me understand why it needs to cost this much. (Simply put....it doesn't). Sure the lamps are expensive. $150 or so. And they go on sale at the supply house often. But when you do gel polish all day everyday it pays for itself pretty fast. And the shellac polishes don't cost much more than regular. And if you bring your own gel polish, they still charge the same price. I thought the girl who did my manicure was nice enough. But the next day upon further inspection 3 of my nails didn't even have the polish all the way to the tip of my nail. I had to trim them a quarter inch shorter to remove the unpainted nail. I won't be going back here. And will continue my search for an affordable nail salon. It almost seems like this place assumes because it's in Mountain Brook they can charge whatever they want and people will pay it. And judging by how many people were in there, seems about right.Updated, after 7 days of this manicure the polish is lifting and peeling off 4 nails. A $39 manicure that is touted to last 2-3 weeks and it's lasted one. Read Less

My two elementary school children saved money to get their babysitter a gift certicate for Mother's day. We got her a manicure and spa pedicure certificate from the owner and paid $48 for it. When she went to redeem the certificate the day before her daughter's wedding, she showed the certificate and services were provided. She did not ask for extras or had a gel manicure, but at the end, she was charged $20 extra!I called the place but the lady on the phone was rude and not helpful. Read Less

After having my fingernails filed into triangles, my skin painted and my ankle cut with the mr pumice by Kim, I had finally had enough and asked they stop so I could just go home. A younger girl insisted on fixing my hands and feet and then got angry when I told her I don't like my cuticles painted and my nails filed into points like they were. She told me it was my fault and I should have told them what I wanted. Who knew you had to specify such things? But once I did tell them, I was embarrassed by the young girl in front of everyone there. And was talked about in Vietnamese, I guess?Please save your time and ankles and go to the nice, friendly and professional places Mountain Brook has to offer. Read Less

i love envy nail. i moves to Birmingham a year ago for school so i had to find a new shop that not only did great work but made me feel comfortable also. and i searched for 8.5 months (never returning to another shop for one reason or another) before i stumbled upon envy nails and it is literally the best nail shop Birmingham has to offer. the facility is gorgeous the people are friendly and welcoming and they are excellent at what they do. i recommend them to everyone and i always get complemented on their work. the female works are amazingly friendly. im a fan for sure!

Told the girl up front that my feet had been neglected for several months and that my heels needed help. She looked at my heel and said, "just dry skin". She put minimal effort in removing "dry skin" and you could literally "strike a match" on my left heel. Never again. Read Less

Amazing how badly these people treat their clients - I am a regular, and always call in for an appointment a few days ahead of time. My nail tech was running behind, so I sat down about 20 minutes after my appointment time was supposed to start - around 12:50. His 1:00 client came in and was so nasty that he asked me to leave the desk so he could take care of her - and the salon manager agreed!! I got up and the 1:00 client said she was sorry, but Spring Break was starting and she needed to go. I said I was in the same position, but that I certainly did not want to stay a moment longer after being treated like this. I was livid - even gave myself a few days to chill before writing this - but I will never go back - sorry, Billy - you have lost the client who always tipped $10 over the tab. Read Less
