Worst French manicure I’ve ever had! Lines are squiggly and this after a correction. Overall experience for the price was horrible. Won’t be back and won’t recommend.

Absolutely the worst experience in all 30 years of my life I've ever had with a pedicure they insisted that my toes that fine and it looked like a five-year-old painted them.

Called and made an appointment at 230, that’s when the guy said they had wide open.. 🤔 Got there at 2:25pm about 4 minutes later someone actually acknowledged us for the first time. We waited for about 5 more minutes then got put back in the Pedi chairs. No water just sat there for ANOTHER 30 minutes. As they were continuing to take walk in clients instead of saying no I have appointments here!!! The place was dirty too! 😷We ended up walking out and going to #1 Nails, they got us right in as they stated on the phone and did a great job!!! Clearly poor customer service skills goes to VIP Nails. Don’t even waste your time with them. 🙄 Read Less

Rude staff. Refused to do any type of design on my nail. Just said no when I asked for one. Place was filthy and not clean at all.

Me and my 10 yr old daughter went for a girls day manicure. First manicure for her, and first acrylics for me. They were great and made the experience super fun for us! Our nails look great too!

At first I really liked it here. Yes, friendly staff and quick service. Then during a toenail clipping my toe was bleeding very badly, cut on both sides. This was after I told them I did not want my toe nails clipped. It hurt very bad. I went to the podiatrist and he said they should not be making people bleed due to the huge chance of infection. I did not go back for a few weeks. Then I decided to give it another chance and this time I just wanted to have my gel polish removed and shaping. They put the foils on and left me to sit for an hour without ever coming back to me. Instead they waited on two large parties getting manis and pedis. They even sat right next to me and didn't even acknowledge that I was still sitting there with the foils on. I took the foils off myself and scraped the paint off and walked out. No one even bothered to stop me or ask me what was wrong ... at all. I will not go back. Now my finger nails are dried out and splitting, very damaged. I'll be doing my own nails. Read Less

Nice staff. Tommy gave Excellent directions.  We were only traveling in the area. So depending on where you're from;  in Dubuque, IA they include TAXES  with your services. So for 2 pedi's one mani, and only one was a No Chip. We paid $95$!  This did not include the tip either for TWO providers. The no chip mani took TOO LONG! Why she didn't have my (NATURAL) nails soaking while her co-worker was doing my mani? This really could have saved us a lot of TIME! And she justified not repairing my cracked nail! Which is going to cost me later! It's already snagging my hair, my clothes. I'm disappointed . It would really be unique if those providing a service would treat the customer the way they would like to be treated. Read Less

Just got the second worse manicure of my life. But maybe this one was worst than the first because of the price. I've lived in NY and I live in Miami. It's between $3-7 more expensive for a manicure than either of those cities. I was in Dubuque for my grandmother's funeral and popped in here to get my nails done. Nail tech didn't ask my what shape I wanted and then didn't shape. They were all uneven lengths. Didn't clean my nail beds. Cuticle nippers did not appear to be sterilized. Left skin hanging off my cuticles. There was polish on all of my cuticles. As I was drying, I realized I would just have to take it off myself before tomorrow, so I asked for them to remove the polish. They didn't offer to fix. I asked for a refund and they refused. So I guess this was the worst manicure of my life, as the other bad one I had, the owner was apologetic and willing to fix. Read Less
