I have had pedicures here in the past and they were average quality at best. The staff was not overly friendly in the past but yesterday and today when I tried to inquire about getting my nails done the man who I believe is the owner was downright rude on both occasions. I am from out of town and visit Owosso in the summer time so I don't know the salon's exact policies. Yesterday I walked in and was not acknowledged for 5 minutes. I looked for a sign in sheet and they are so stupid and unprofessional that they do not have one even though several people were waiting. When I was finally acknowledged I politely asked how long it would be to get a manicure. He rudely told me at least a half hour and that they don't take appointments. I didn't ask for an appointment. Today I went back as I could not find another place in town with available appointments and am recovering from a broken leg. Several people were waiting. When the same man looked at me I again asked how long for a manicure. He became very irritated and said, "When it your time. You sit and wait." , while pointing to the people waiting. I was simply asking for an estimate of how long it would be. I really hope another walk-in salon opens in Owosso. I really think they would do well given the unprofessional, low quality, and unfriendly nature of this salon. Read Less

They do an okay job but refuse to take appointments and it took about an hour to just get the pedicure started. The foot bath was cold despite asking for warmer water and the tub jets didn't work. I normally like them very much but after this last visit and the price increases I'll be looking for a new salon. Read Less

I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE READ THE WHOLE THING I’m currently on tour and came here to get my nails done (I’m definitely not from Michigan) So we went to the closest nail salon by our hotel We got pedicures and a full set. The lady who did my pedicure did a pretty good job but then I sat down to get my full set I wanted red plastic tips and black gel on top to get a cute little peak a boo under my nails (I showed her a picture and everything it was a very basic nail nothing crazy) Well she got out clear tips right after I just told her I wanted red So I said as nicely as I could I said I wanted bright red tips and pointed at the shelf full of tips She grabbed a purple color and I said “no ma’am I wanted red” So she said “get up and get it” So I took a deep breathe and went and grabbed the red tips, came back and sat down and handed her the tips Well I noticed on the reviews that they have a tendency to have crooked nails So when she started gluing the tips almost all of them were slightly crooked But my right index finger was literally pointing to the left so I asked her to fix it She started to remove it and then pulled the drill out and got the red off then put the drill directly on my finger ! And I said “ow” because it hurt and I was starting to bleed So she’s putting a new tip on and it’s crooked again ! So of course I said something and she tries to hand me the tip and said “well you do it” At this point I snapped back with an attitude “you’re a nail tech and I’m paying you to do my nails why would I do it” She then just stopped and moved on to another client and said “he do your nails” So I’m sitting here beyond irritated with long tips on my nails for 45 minutes waiting on the other nail tech who she did tell was finishing my nails so when he got done he started someone else’s and I looked at her and said I thought he was finishing mine ? So she said “get up and tell him, go move over there” So I snapped back with “aren’t you supposed to relay the message” and got up and moved over and he fixed her crooked tips and on my thumb she put two tips on and he had to fix that as well ! He did an excellent job besides the fact I asked for short rounded nails kinda almond but rounded and he gave me stilleto but at that point I was finished dealing with this ghetto nail salon and I paid and left !

I like going to LA Nails because they are fast and professional. Also, I can just walk in any time without an appointment. If there is a long wait, they will say so right away.

Definitely not sure if I would recommend this place. I left the salon with acrylics and was just not happy with what I paid for. The prices were decent but my nails weren't. The acrylic was crooked and uneven, left hand was longer than the right, cuticles were not taken care of, hands were dry and the skin on the edges of my nails were broken. As well as 2 sore fingers. I will not be going back to this place again. I do not think my money was well spent even after correcting the nail tech several times. Very unhappy. Read Less

My overall experience was great. The woman was patient with me while I described what I wanted. She also took the time to make it look beautiful. Cost was reasonable.

WARNING.. this place is horrible to purchase a gift card from. Our Father purchased a $75 gift card from this place during Christmas for my sister. She just went there to have her nails done today and they told her the gift card expired on February 5th and refused to honor the Gift card purchased at Christmas time. He purposely purchased this for my Sister's Jamaica trip and told them it would be in the middle of March before she used it. They said that would be fine and let him pay the $75... knowing well they wouldn't honor it. That is horrible and these people are dirty crooks!!! Read Less

I was in the area this weekend to attend a local wedding and stopped in for a mani-pedi as soon as they opened Saturday morning. There were 3 ppl working and 5 customers all at once. We were all shuffled from one employee to another like an assembly line. Part of a $75 mani-pedi (yes, this place is over priced) should include a  sense of pampering and relaxation. Definitely not here. And as I'm now feeling the bottom of my feet, my heels are rough. Never have I gotten a pedicure only to have  my feet feel worse then they did BEFORE. Chances are I'll never be in that area again but to anyone who is, and is looking for a salon, I advise that you go anywhere but there. Read Less

The woman that works in this place is rude, rough, and unprofessional. She puts nails on crooked, she files your skin, and if she gets a bad review about her mistakes she will confront you about it in front of customers.

Do not go here. Worst experience I have ever had at nail salon. The nail polish selection is horrible, but there were about 8 vinyl lux colors and about 10 opi colors, so I'm thinking, ok I can make this work. Pick out a vinyl lux. She tells me it's $5 extra. Some places it's extra, but not usually more than $3, and other places have a much better selection. I go back to pick out one of the dated opi colors. Pick a the most neutral one I can find. Sit down, and she whips out a nasty diy sponge remover you buy at Walmart and tells me to remove my polish (pic below). I have no idea how many fingers have been in that thing. But I do it. I was desperate for a manicure, and didn't have a ton of time. Then I started hearing this annoying nursery rhyme music, like kids singing itsy bitsy spider. It was louder than the television. It was her baby monitor, on full volume. I totally understand wanting to be able to hear your baby sleeping in the back room, but to play it as loud as she did, with that music was unprofessional. After I was done with the manicure (about 15 minutes later) she tells me it's $16, sign says $15. I usually don't ask about things like this, but since the experience was horrible, I did. She said its $1 extra for opi. Wth?! I have never heard of such a thing. She ended up giving me my dollar back, but was huffy about it. I know this review sounds petty, but I honesty have never given a 1 star to anything in my life. The one pro is that it was quick. For $15 seems like the average price for a manicure, and this was definitely below average. Read Less
