Visited right at opening on Sunday, 11/19/2017 and explained that I wanted a manicure with clear polish/top coat.  The nail tech with the glasses and the bob-like haircut said ok. There were already two customers being getting manicures by the two only nail techs, so I proceeded to take a seat.  I then see the nail tech with the glasses get on the phone.  She was speaking in her native language, so I can only assume she was checking to see what time another tech would be coming in.  Shortly there after, one of the customers is moved to a pedicure chair, and the tech with the glasses begins on my manicure.  The nail tech barely spoke to me and never told me her name, although the nail tech did speak when the other nail tech, a man (who I think is the owner), finally arrived, she spoke to him in their native language.  Strike 1.I felt like the whole experience was rushed.  Two additional customers had walked in during my service, so I felt like the nail tech was neglecting me in order to service them.  The nail tech even brought out ice cold soapy water for my manicure.  After dipping my first hand into the bowl, I let her know the water was cold.  The nail tech is like ok, and motions for me to enter my second hand into the water.  I'm like no, and she then dips my second hand into the water.  Later on, I'm asked to wash my hands, and I notice my nails are different lengths and shapes.  Remember the nail tech didn't speak to me much so she didn't ask/care how I wanted my nails shaped.  I get back to the chair and ask the nail tech to make the nails the same length and correct the shape.  She is like yeah yeah and blows me off.  She corrects the length, but the shape is still off.  Strike 2.Irritated at this point, I was asked to pay for my $12 mediocre manicure before polishing begins.  I oblige and handover my credit card.  She polishes my nails and ask me to sit them in front of a small fan for 5-10 minutes.  I then ask do you all service younger people (all of the other customers were older (50+) women?  The nail tech says yes.  I then ask do you have a drying table with the fans (more than 1 fan) and UV lights?  She says no and points to the fan.  I'm like oh.  At this point, the man/owner chimes in and says it's $10 extra for gel if you want your nails to dry faster.  Looking confused, I say ok, but FYI the drying table is something that younger people expect.  He then proceeds to tell me that it's not faster with the drying table and then tries to argue with me.  I cut him off and let him know that he was being rude and should focus on the client in his chair.  Strike 3.In the end, I don't know if it was a language barrier, or this particular shop thinks it ok to do/say whatever they want, but they won't be getting another dime from me.  My advice to them: be polite, do work that you can be proud, and learn to take constructive criticism.

While visiting our daughter over the weekend, we decided on a family pedicure. We selected Relax Nails due to the previous review and feedback. The family consensus afterwards was "best pedicures EVER!" We opted for the deluxe (at a very reasonable price) and received the royal treatment. The additional touches of the collagen socks and hot stone massage were fantastic, and on top of it we enjoyed complimentary drinks while watching college football! I agree with the previous comment that this is a hidden gem; excellent value & customer service. Your feet will thank you for days! Read Less

This is a great hidden gem in Collinsville. My daughter and I have been regulars here since we moved to area. They have quick service compared other local salons and very friendly staff. The quality of the pedicures and manicures is always good. And to end they've got great massage chairs to wait in while nails dry. Read Less

if i could rate 0 stars i would. this place is terrible. Especially the woman by the name of Kayla. My sister got her nails done there and told Kayla she wanted hers taken off and a full set back on and she ignored her and just did a fill. Than when she was finished with them she painted her nails and got paint on her actual fingers, she got gel all over her cuticles and all over her actual fingers. i asked her about it and compared them to mine. she saw exactly what i was saying and it with me and said that it was her skin i was seeing. i proceeded to tell her no, that is nail polish. so she ignores me and doesnt even try to fix it and has my sister sign the reciept. Terrible terrible terrible. i will never go back. Read Less

One of the most horrible humiliating experiences I've ever had. I went to have my nails filled. A girl sent me at her station & started my nails . Then for some reason, the owner came up & told her to transfer me to his station. When he started doing my nails, he literally began yelling & screaming at me that my nails were awful & too hard to do, that they weren't in good shape & that I should come in sooner. He pulled off both of my thumb nails as he was berating me. I reminded him that i was there 8 days ago & one of his employees did this to my nails. At that, he yelled something in his native language to another one of the girls, got up from his station & stormed off. This was totally unprovoked , totally uncalled for and as I told them, verbal abuse at the very least. Id give them a negative number of stars if allowed. Read Less

My first time going and I loved it. For being the day before thanksgiving I assumed they would be packed but it wasn't. The man was nice and actually took time to do my nails. He seemed Like he really cared about making sure nails were right length that I wanted and even put is own opinion in what color I should choose. Personally I felt welcomed&& treated me with respect. Definitely would go back. Read Less
