I've been coming here for about 2 years and have even spent $100 each time I visit getting my eyelashes done and until recently not had a complaint. After today I will never visit again!! The last manicure/pedicure I got paint chipped and peeled the very next day and today we got 2 very simple manicures and I asked for a very simple flower design on 2 of my daughter's nails. After seeing the horrible attempt at a flower I told them that it looked very bad and was basically ig...nored... When I asked for the manager, she came over to tell me that my daughter said it was okay. First of all, my daughter won't stand up for herself and tell them what she really thinks and secondly, I am the one paying extra!! After the 3rd time of them saying "she said it was okay" I'm beginning to get angry, so I tell them it looks like shit!! Bottom line I will NEVER go back to this place... They're over priced anyway... See More Read Less

Don’t get your nails by the old lady who seems to own the shop. She is always screaming while she’s doing your nails and doesn’t pay attention and hurt your fingers. Bad service.

Got a gel manicure on Sunday of this past week. It already chipped by the second day and now (Friday) the gel is peeling on one of my nails. It's been less than a week and my GEL manicure isn't holding up. I've had gel manicures last 3-4 weeks before showing wear and tear from other salons so, to me, this is unacceptable. The staff was very nice, but I will not be going back. Not worth the money. Read Less

I would not even give one star . Definitely a horrible experience. Went in for a regular pedicure and when I tell you the guy was done in fifteen minutes. I could have done a better job. My heels look horrible and nails all uneven. Then to top it off it came to $26 and change and I was given back one five and four singles but they argue with me saying no they gave me two five . They looked at the camera and the camera shows him taking two bills from the fives and three single...s but the bill under the top five was a single not a five. All the employees stood at the front desk looking and talking in Chinese like it was a hundred dollar bill or something. Because they were still saying they gave me two five I wasn't going to argue all day over $5.00 I will never go there ever again . Alot of people told me they weren't​a good nail salon but I gave them the benefit or doubt and definitely should have listened cause they suck. My mom also got a manicure and they did a horrible job on her also her cuticles weren't cut she has all skin still there. Absolutely horrible. Definitely two thumbs DOWN!!!!!!!! See More Read Less

I'm a bit disappointed after only a week my Gel manicure have chipped and is cracking. This is the first time I have experienced this, but this is also the first time I went to this salon. The price was $30 which is about$8 more than I have ever paid for gel manicure. So this doesn't help that it was overpriced and only lasted a week. The first chip happens two days later! Very disappointed!!!Read Less

Out of all the places I've ever gone to get my nails done, I've never heard a pricing strategy quite like this place:Gel fill=$45Gel fill w/ regular polish=$45Gel fill w/gel polish=$45Gel French manicure fill=$45......... it's usually cheapest with regular polish, about $10 more for gel polish and THEN about extra $5 for French-  am I right?? I dunno, seems like they were hell bent on getting that $45 no matter what lolBUT, the nail tech I had did do a decent job-  but it was just way over priced..... and if you want gems, you can only choose between silver and pink..... and also outta a small pile of gaudy looking flowers..... TONS of choices j/kIn my opinion, if you are willing to pay a bit more than other places in the area, and you want something basic, this is a good place.  But if you want good prices with more elaborate choices for designs-  go somewhere else. **and even though they have a sign up that says for you to "enjoy your free back massage with nail service"- they say they don't.   Go figure.

This is an awful establishment with terrible customer service. They are incredibly unfriendly and talk to each in their language non-stop. And it's not just to the person next to them; they shout across the room. There's a sign saying enjoy your 10 minute free massage and no one came over to massage me. They made me feel uncomfortable and I will never return to this salon even though I work close by. Read Less

She didn't even color my nail to the cuticle and ripped at my cuticles the whole time. They don't give free massages either, that's a lie.

Not worth it! Not enough employees for the amount of chairs! Made an appointment with my friend for 5:30 pm. We were not called until 6:10, after several people had already left from waiting too long. We both wanted the mani / pedi for $25.00. They rushed through both of us, not speaking to us at all. It was not a relaxing pedicure. While waiting at the manicure station, the man that I had decided to go do a brow waxing, so I had to sit and wait another 10 minutes while my friend was quickly finished. They tried to over charge us after we clearly stated what we wanted, and after we left, noticed our nails were completely jagged and polish came off the next day. The pedicure polish was horrible as well, not putting a second coat on leaving the polish practically transparent. I have been to plenty of nail salons before for the same price that do a much better job! Read Less

My first and last time their ! As clean as the place is the staff is awful ! They missed the second step in my nails and this other woman went on to step three , when the woman found out that my nails never had the top Harding coat under the uv light she basically got mad at me for letting her staff did what she did to my nails and told me she could not fix it ( I thought just take a little nail polish remove and correct the problem ) then she said I was free to go and walked away after I had already paid ... So my nail polish came right off about four hours later and I need to go get them fix tomorrow at another place ... And they do not wash their hands in between Clint's . Yuck !!!!!! Read Less
