Ugly nail design and nails didn't last. They were in a rush. I won't go back and I do not recommend them.

I’ve never used their services but my significant other has and still does. It’s the only place she will go to get her nails done.

I was very excited to come here to get my nails done but as soon as I sat down I knew I made a mistake! First off all the workers were extremely rude and had no idea what I was asking for! The man who did my nails held my fingers so tight I lost feeling in them and he repeatedly got up and made phone calls during the process of doing my nails and I ended up at his chair for two hours because he took so many breaks! I was a waste of time and money! Their supplies are outdated and not clean and I regret deeply paying for the acrylics I got! Please anyone considering going here don't! Not to mention I paid 60 dollars for nail polish that came off within a week! Read Less

This was the worst nail experience i’ve ever had. Whenever any of us asked to get something fix or changed they either rolled their eyes and have attitude or refused to do so. I do not recommend going here. It also took 2 hours. If you’re looking for a good nail salon in the mall Paris Nails does a great job as well as Nail Art in North Liberty! Read Less

I was leery based on the other reviews but it was convenient. They got me in quickly and they had a lot of colors. I was worried about cleanliness but I think that it's okay. The girl was nice and she did a good job but she was talking to a guy across the room and she kept looking at him. I am concerned about ingrown toenails because she gave my toenails a rounded shape but they look nice. My event is Saturday, so I have a few days to decide whether I am returning for my manicure. Over $40 for a pedicure seems high but she did a very thorough job and they do look nice. Read Less

I will NEVER go here again! She spent 15 minutes on each dang nail and didn't seem to know what she was doing. when using the filing tool she got my skin 2-3 times. I though she broke blood once but thank god there was no blood. When she used the hand fill I though she was going to rip my nails off or break my fingers due to how rough she was! The nail polish will applied poorly and so were the nails. She didn't even fill in one nail all the way. I will continue to stick with angel nails in Iowa city because I'm in and out in less then 30 minutes and they're very nice and do an amazing job! I will not suggest this place to anyone! Read Less

My best friend and I weren't greeted when we first walked in, maybe five minutes later. We told them we both wanted mani pedis and they got us started. The water was way tok hot but they adjustrd that as soon as I said something. My tech removed my nail polish that was previously on my toes but didn't buff off the residue. I had asked for French tips but with the residue, the clear coat looked awful at the end so I asked to have my big toes painted over to cover it. He stared at my toes for about five minutes and then looked at me and said 'why didn't you say that before?!' and walked away. Finished my toes and moved to the tables to get my mani. Asked for square shape, got round. Wanted matte finish, painted glossy without asking me beforehand.He, then, stood with his hand on his hip at the counter waiting for me to come pay. Beyond rude, rushed, and not focused on what the customer may want. Will NOT be back. Read Less

I've tried most of the nail places in town and have always felt they were average but not outstanding. I really wanted a manicure today and was frustrated most nail places are closed on Monday, so I decided to give Modern a try. I received what is probably *the best* gel manicure I've had in town for a fraction of what I've paid elsewhere. I will most definitely be back!!! Read Less

I got a manicure and pedicure and I thought the person that did my nails, was very rude. The pedicure and manicure was actually painful instead of enjoyable. When she was doing the pedicure she was scrubbing my feet so hard that it hurt. My toe nail was very short and she decided to file it and my toe started bleeding. Definitely not what  I was expecting. When she was doing the manicure she just randomly got up and left and came back a few minutes later. That was a little strange. When my nails were drying at the nail drying station, she came up to me and asked for the money. I thought that was very rude. I wouldn't recommend going to this nail salon and I know I won't be going back. Read Less
