I just left the establishment. My nails turned out very well. They provide a one week guarantee on their work. I will definitely go back.

Terrible service. the staff are rude and unprofessional. I needed a particular color for a wedding and they insisted I sit down and start services and did not want to show me the colors they had available beforehand. I asked that they clean their tools before using them on me and the man doing my nails got furious with me, asking me “ who do you think you are, the police?” and refused cleane them. So I refused to continue getting my nails done, then he offered to clean them. They don’t deserve to have a business or any customers with attitudes like that. Don’t waste you time or money here.

I went in for a shellac polish change. I had Ken as my nail tech. He was clearly in a race to get my nails finished in record time. He used the cuticle scissors and cut into my skin on the sides of my nails FOUR times. I said “OW” each time and thought he might be more gentle. He either didn’t hear me (which I highly doubt) or didn’t care. He just kept working. I have three open wounds that have dried blood in them. I have to use Neosporin for relief. He was very aggressive in all aspects. At the end, he dug his nails into the sides of my nail bed to file and then cut into the skin on a couple of my nails. This was the worst and most painful experience I have ever had. I will not be back. Read Less

Reliable consistent and fast service. They don't do anything fancy if you are looking for nail art. You can get pedi/fill/shellac in one hour. Eyebrow waxing service is also good.

I go there once a month for a pedicure and acrylic nails+ shellac. I always request David, and he is great. My nails never broke, and shellac doesn’t peel from acrylic nails. Their prices are always different for the same service, and it’s confusing. I also took my daughter there once, and another technician did her acrylic nails. They lasted two weeks and started peeling on the bottom. One of them broke in a few days, and they charged her to fix it. So, you need to know who is good and who is bad before requesting a service, just like in any other industry. Read Less

They didn't open the doors until 11:15 am even though the outside of the store adversies 11:00 am on Sundays. The owners excuse was "They're Asian and can do what they want." I sign in and am told to sit down and I tell the owner color 61. He comes back with 60 stating that he didn't hear me. I said ok I would like 61. He says "pick a few colors so I don't have to keep going back there." Confused I ask if they don't have the color? He haphazardly throws the color choice wheel my way and says "I don't know but pick a few, I'm not going to go back and forth." I stated "I would like 61 or 62." At this point several customers in the shop have chimed in in regard to the poor customer service. He looks at me and says "get up, I don't have to do your nails," I was taken back and asked "all because you don't want to get my color? This is crazy!" He says he doesn't want to argue this morning gets up and walks away. I then left along with other customers. I've been going to this facility for many years and the quality of this shop has decreased dramatically. Peeling shellac, lifting nails, manicures/pedis that don't last a week, exceedingly long wait times and now a disrespectful "owner." I will never return. Read Less

Took my daughter in for a fill in. Complete rush job. The next day 1 fingernail broke in half, so we went in to have it repaired. This was Sunday a.m. approx 1130. The man, "man", was on some dump stuff. He had total attitude. When he repaired the 1 nail.. the nail was squared off, yet her hands were already done in a coffin shape!!! We pointed this out to him...dude gets mad and does a frustrated lap around the salon...comes back, does a ridiculously shitty job reshaping this one nail. Then looks at me.. her mother trying to eyeball me. I call him out on his nasty female like behavior, if course says nothing. Nothing that I understand (!!) Proceeds to polish the nail. My daughter tells him she wants the same color. He goes back and forth with her..what color if u don't know then I don't know...she told him he used a bottle from the box behind him...i again have to step in and suggest that he might try to be HELPFUL, and I got up took 2 bottles that appeared close in the shade she has...asked him to try these out...he opens one paints the nail...its nothing close..my daughter says again you used a color from behind you...he ignores her..ends up re-polishing. This time the damn color was still wrong but this was already the most indignant person I've ever dealt with over some nails...i wasn't about to waste another minute in the salon. 2 days later, all polish is rubbing off. Today is day 5, two more nails cracked in half. So I decide to write a review. Wish there were a negative star rating or none. Because this visit was terrible, 2 thumbs down. Will never return. Owner if you read these reviews. You ought to demand more from your staff/family. Not everyone is good for your business. And losing a potential return customer isnt either. Terrible work. Horrible attitude. Read Less

For the past year this place has went down. They are extremely rude to customers and it has gotten ghetto. Especially the nail tech who is the female and sits to the right in front of the shop. I think her name is Tina. More than often I seen her get cussed out by several customers on several different occasions. Yesterday I called to the shop about 4 asked for an appointment for Brian. Tina said come in at 5:30pm I got there at 4:45pm. When I walked in the shop I told Tina I am here for the 5:30pm for Brian. Tina was upset and really frantic asking why am I here so early. I said I was in the neighborhood it's okay I will sit and wait. Brian took along time on the customer ahead of me so he saw me at 6:10pm instead of 5:30pm. I asked for my fake nails to be taken off, shellac to be replaced and polish change. He said "no I'm going to give you fill in cuz I don't have time to do a soak off and shellac. I got a 6:00pm and they are here now"In my head I'm thinking I am the customer paying my money. I should be able to chose what I want and if you didn't have time to do it you should have said that at 4:45pm when I walked in the door inside of having me sit and wait an hour and fifteen minutes. Plus my appointment was at 5:30pm but you took long with the other customer but I did not complain but now you want to push some crap on me that I don't want to rush me out the door. So I did not get loud nor ghetto I politely said, well I will just have someone else do it who has time and I started looking around the shop for a different nail tech. Brian got upset told me no I need to come back tomorrow and he will do it. I told him no I already sat here for an hour and fifteen minutes someone else will do my nails. He was upset and started talking in his native language to Tina. Than I asked Tina can she find one of the other nail techs who is available to do my nails. She said no and told me to come back tomorrow. I still didn't get loud nor ghetto. I walked up to one of the nail techs who was not busy to do my nails. He did them and did a good job. While the nail tech was doing my nails Tina walks up to me out the blue confrontational and say "I know your not talking about it and I'm coming to you but..." at that point I stopped her mid sentence and told her to please get away from me, stop talking to me and leave me alone while I'm getting my service"  than she said okay but can you not make anymore appointments. I told her don't worry after this incident I won't be back. Tina walked away. Also Brian switches up the prices often and charges me more money every other time I come. The prices always change and get more expensive for the same service and they get more rude over time. They do mediocre nails I won't be back. Read Less

Be nails doesn't even deserve one star.  It was bad from the point I entered.  I stayed because I was in a rush.  That was a bad decision because the visit continued to go down hill.  The nail tech got mad because I asked him not to drill my toes or nails.  He got smart  with me.  I had to tell him you will not disrespect me to my face.  I said I will never return; he said don't ever come back.  I told him to watch his mouth.  He proceeded with the pedicure.  He cut corners, he filed my toes and hands to nubs even though I said I wanted to keep them long.  He polished my nails 2 tone.  It was all bad & I will never return.  If you want respect, good service and what you ask for then don't go to Be Nails.  They are the worst!

I went here 2 times for an acrylic fill on my lunch hour due to convenience (right near my office). The first time I thought the quality was mediocre, and the second time was a terrible experience. The male nail technician was literally watching a foreign show on his phone AS he was doing my nails. He placed the phone against something so that it was facing him as he was doing my nails. He was paying more attention to the show then to my nails, so as you can assume the quality was terrible and he nicked my cuticles a few (painful) times. They had a misleading sign outside on the price of a fill (apparently on certain days at certain times). Also, they charge for cut down which I have never experienced at any other salon and I believe is ridiculous. My coworker and I occasionally come here for pedicures when we want to get out of the office and/or really need one. They do an ok job, however the pricing is inconsistent as they are always charging us different amounts for the same service. I would go here in an emergency situation if nothing else was available, however I am sure there are better options in the area. Read Less

I went to Be Nail Salon, upon recommendation, from a friend around 5:30 pm on a Wednesday.  When I walked to the door, the sign stated that they would charge $1 if anyone wanted to use a credit card and that customers should bring cash. STRIKE ONE. When I entered, I was told to sign in and I sat in the waiting area.  It wasn't crowded and I noticed that the place was dimly lit in the pedicure section. After a few minutes I was asked what I wanted by someone that was already with a customer (they never looked at the sign in sheet). They told me to go to chair #11...in the back. I asked if I could use the restroom and I left my water at the station. By the way, the bathroom was FILTHY and there weren't any paper towels available.  Anyway, when I came out, I was told to sit with another nail tech (my assigned tech decided to go to another customer).  When I went to retrieve my water from station #11, the new tech roughly spoke to me and told me to sit with him. When I acknowledged him I proceeded to retrieve my water and he reprimanded me. I sternly told him what I was doing and asked him if it was okay. When I sat at his station, he was physically angered. STRIKE TWO!Before he started I let him know that it was my first visit and that the salon came highly recommended. He was unfazed. I took out my own gel base and he had another attitude and insisted that they had their own products, however, I stood my ground. When he started filing, he was very aggressive and I was losing length in my natural nails. After grinding down two nails I asked him to try to keep the length and he told me that he was trying to even them out. STRIKE THREE!  My nails were professionally done a few weeks prior and they weren't that bad. That's when I asked him how much I owed him. He got really angry and told me to leave the salon. At 51 years, I have never been treated so badly!  I immediately left and went to my nail regular salon where I was greeted with kindness and received excellent service!  If I could I would give this place 0 stars. It is dirty and the nail techs are not friendly. Maybe this place is hit and miss...however, in my opinion DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Read Less

Be Nails is the pits.  I went there today for a pedicure.  I had come here since 2013.  I go twice a year.  Each year the salon upkeep and service has gone down, down, down.  Today, No one working the front desk, but an employee was doing make up on a customer.  I asked her a question, she ignored me.  There was no wait.   My pedicure took only about 20 minutes, not much done.  No soaking, no cuticles pushed, no lotion massage to my calfs and feet; just a little snip of my nails, a little scrub, then drying off with one of those nasty looking towels.  I asked for a fan instead of the UVA lamp for drying my polish, but the guy didn't want to get me one.  I decided to air dry my nails.  I'm usually a very strong tipper because I believe those in the service industry should be tipped well when they are kind, friendly, and do good work.  When they go over and above, I tip over and above.  Not so with this guy.  I tipped him 15% anyway even though he didn't deserve it.  Two minutes later, he reappeared with a little fan.  At this moment I'm at home, soaking my feet in T-tree essential oil and praying I don't develop a fungus.  I'm pretty sure this guy don't clean any of his equipment.  He grabbed clippers out of a caddy and threw them back in there after he clipped my nails.  I will "Be Gone" and won't "Be Back" to "Be Nails."

I went to Be nails yesterday to get an acrylic mani and pedi. I decided to go here again because I was happy with the service I got a few months ago when I went for a pedi. I didn't feel like the woman who did my nails was very friendly to begin with. She did my pedicure really nice which I was happy with. It went downhill when I went to get my manicure. When I sat down I literally showed the woman 2 pictures of how I wanted my nails short and round. As she started to put the acrylic on she shaped my nails straight and really long. I told her again I want them short and her response was why didn't you tell me. I told her that's why I showed her my picture smh. Once she was finished with my nails she charged me extra 3 bucks because I wanted them round. I didn't tip her and felt bad till after I left and looked at my nails. Since I was watching tv I didn't even notice that she had not done anything to my cuticles except for put that lotion on it. She didnt clip my hang nails either. I also noticed she didn't wipe off the previous nail polish on the tip thumb nail. While this place was clean and have good choices for polish I was highly disappointed at the lack in detail and unfriendliness. I would try to get this fixed but I don't have time for them to play dumb and pretend to not speak English. I am NEVER going here again!!!!!!! Read Less

They get the job done... However, it seems like prices are never the same each time I've been in here which makes me feel like I'm being scammed. For a while I was coming regularly for shellac manicures and they shed my nails down so thin they all broke off and hurt so bad. I have not been back for a mani but have gotten my toes done.

I went to Be Nails to get my eyebrows done and came out HIGHLY disappointed in the service I received. The young girl that waxed my eyebrows burned my eyelids AND she didn't remove the unwanted stray hairs. When I left the nail salon and went to my car, I looked in the mirror and realized that I still had wax on my forehead and beneath my eyebrows!!! I walked back in and asked for Gina (the other lady that usually waxes my eyebrows) to correct the mistake the other girl did.  I will never go back to this place. I have scabs on my eyelids from when the first girl used hot wax on my skin.I have personally seen a few people come in and walkout very disappointed in the work that they do here. Gina is pretty good at what she does, but the rest of the employees will probably cause the place to go out of business.Once, I had a guy at this salon do my nails and he caused the cuticle on one of my nails to bleed. Ugh! Beware of this place. They just lost a customer. I'm  never going back here and if the scab on my eye ends up becoming a scar, I'm going to contact an attorney. Read Less

This was my first time for a pedicure.  I had trouble the minute I walked in the door. It was lunchtime and they looked busy, so I offered to come back later and the response was, "$22 dollar", while pointing at the sign-in sheet. So, I signed in and was immediately taken to a chair. No one explained to me that I needed to pick a color up front first. I sat in the chair and a man immediately started filling up the basin with water. My chair was severely reclined and was broken. After a younger guy fiddled with it, he had me move to another chair. By that time my feet had been in the basin and I was forced to walk to another chair with bare wet feet; I was not offered a towel. The entire course of my pedi, the nail tech proceeded to talk on the phone. At first I thought he was talking to himself until I realized he was wearing a headset. It's not that I had any great desire to have a conversation with him, but the practice of talking on the phone while working on a client is just rude. A couple times he was being a little too rough and actually hurt me. He was clearly paying more attention to the person on the phone than to me. He never once verbalized what he wanted me to do. Instead, I received taps on the leg and feet as signals, as if I were a dog. I'd rather pay more somewhere else and get better treatment. I was disappointed that my very first pedicure experience was not a good one after having waited to try it for so long. Read Less

The Tel-Twelve area seems to be a parched wasteland for good nail salons, surprising given the number of professional offices in the shopping epicenter of northern Southfield. I therefore awaited Be Nails opening with some interest. This new shop opened up beside Cosi and kitty-corner to DSW, a wise move for all the sandal-shopping ladies who realize they need a pedicure to accessorize those adorable M.I.A. wedges. It sits in the first "island" of buildings which doesn't contain Sam's Shoe Repair, across a very popular parking lot for the lunch time crowd.I didn't realize how big this nail salon is until I went inside. Bright and trimmed in polished wood all over, Be Nails invites guests into a clean space. Two rows of posh pedi chairs stretch back from the first chamber into the second area where the nail bars are attended by technicians. The separation is a great concept, diminishing noise and concentrating each group on one another. Someone was really thinking on the layout and I hope to see it emulated more in the metro area. The pedi chairs do not vibrate but have a swooping arm-rest/mini-table to prop your iPad or magazine down, and two of the largest flatscreens I have seen are centrally mounted for everyone to watch shows. I caught the beach volleyball trials and 200m swim in eye-popping resolution while the nail tech restored my toes to queenly glory. Be Nails' selection of polishes is a bit limited, featuring a sampling of OPI and several other lower tier brands I admit I don't recognize. They carry a full range of the shellac and fast-set gels as evidenced by the samples up at the front counter. No crusty and withered bottles here, but since they have not been open more than 3 weeks, hardly surprising.The service was prompt and efficient, and a pedi ought to be something performed over a lunch hour. My tech got me all polished up in about 25-30 minutes, not including drying time, and he was kindly gentle after I warned him I am ridiculously ticklish along my instep. Add a warm towel and an always beloved calf rub with a sweet scented lotion and all the cares of a rough week just float away. The pedi drying bar is near the front, the manicure bar at the back, which is necessary since I think they have fifteen to twenty pedi chairs and imagine if those all filled up! Costs are reasonable; I paid $26 plus tip. Early week specials run Monday to Wednesday, when the same pedi is $22 and a fill is about $14. I didn't realize they stopped on Wednesday due to the green sign in their window, and the price difference took me by surprise. For an emergency job or a quick touch up, they slot people right in; a young performer in the cutest cherry dress popped in after a bottle of nail polish in her car spilled all over her arm, and they helped get her fixed up in a jiffy and made sure her manicure wasn't ruined. They offered to fix it -- not even sure she had it done there, likely not -- on the spot if she needed. That's a nice touch.Be Nails wins points for being clean, reasonably priced, full service and organized. I would like to see a few more lines of nail polish if a girl can have her wish: Zoya or Butter anyone? Pleeeeease? Read Less

Terrible service. the staff are rude and unprofessional. I needed a particular color for a wedding and they insisted I sit down and start services and did not want to show me the colors they had available beforehand. I asked that they clean their tools before using them on me and the man doing my nails got furious with me, asking me “ who do you think you are, the police?” and refused cleane them. So I refused to continue getting my nails done, then he offered to clean them. They don’t deserve to have a business or any customers with attitudes like that. Don’t waste you time or money here.

I went in for a shellac polish change. I had Ken as my nail tech. He was clearly in a race to get my nails finished in record time. He used the cuticle scissors and cut into my skin on the sides of my nails FOUR times. I said “OW” each time and thought he might be more gentle. He either didn’t hear me (which I highly doubt) or didn’t care. He just kept working. I have three open wounds that have dried blood in them. I have to use Neosporin for relief. He was very aggressive in all aspects. At the end, he dug his nails into the sides of my nail bed to file and then cut into the skin on a couple of my nails. This was the worst and most painful experience I have ever had. I will not be back. Read Less

I go there once a month for a pedicure and acrylic nails+ shellac. I always request David, and he is great. My nails never broke, and shellac doesn’t peel from acrylic nails.

They didn't open the doors until 11:15 am even though the outside of the store adversies 11:00 am on Sundays. The owners excuse was "They're Asian and can do what they want." I sign in and am told to sit down and I tell the owner color 61. He comes back with 60 stating that he didn't hear me. I said ok I would like 61. He says "pick a few colors so I don't have to keep going back there." Confused I ask if they don't have the color? He haphazardly throws the color choice wheel my way and says "I don't know but pick a few, I'm not going to go back and forth." I stated "I would like 61 or 62." At this point several customers in the shop have chimed in in regard to the poor customer service. He looks at me and says "get up, I don't have to do your nails," I was taken back and asked "all because you don't want to get my color? This is crazy!" He says he doesn't want to argue this morning gets up and walks away. I then left along with other customers. I've been going to this facility for many years and the quality of this shop has decreased dramatically. Peeling shellac, lifting nails, manicures/pedis that don't last a week, exceedingly long wait times and now a disrespectful "owner." I will never return. Read Less

Took my daughter in for a fill in. Complete rush job. The next day 1 fingernail broke in half, so we went in to have it repaired. This was Sunday a.m. approx 1130. The man, "man", was on some dump stuff. He had total attitude. When he repaired the 1 nail.. the nail was squared off, yet her hands were already done in a coffin shape!!! We pointed this out to him...dude gets mad and does a frustrated lap around the salon...comes back, does a ridiculously shitty job reshaping this one nail. Then looks at me.. her mother trying to eyeball me. I call him out on his nasty female like behavior, if course says nothing. Nothing that I understand (!!) Proceeds to polish the nail. My daughter tells him she wants the same color. He goes back and forth with her..what color if u don't know then I don't know...she told him he used a bottle from the box behind him...i again have to step in and suggest that he might try to be HELPFUL, and I got up took 2 bottles that appeared close in the shade she has...asked him to try these out...he opens one paints the nail...its nothing close..my daughter says again you used a color from behind you...he ignores her..ends up re-polishing. This time the damn color was still wrong but this was already the most indignant person I've ever dealt with over some nails...i wasn't about to waste another minute in the salon. 2 days later, all polish is rubbing off. Today is day 5, two more nails cracked in half. So I decide to write a review. Wish there were a negative star rating or none. Because this visit was terrible, 2 thumbs down. Will never return. Owner if you read these reviews. You ought to demand more from your staff/family. Not everyone is good for your business. And losing a potential return customer isnt either. Terrible work.

For the past year this place has went down. They are extremely rude to customers and it has gotten ghetto. Especially the nail tech who is the female and sits to the right in front of the shop. I think her name is Tina. More than often I seen her get cussed out by several customers on several different occasions. Yesterday I called to the shop about 4 asked for an appointment for Brian. Tina said come in at 5:30pm I got there at 4:45pm. When I walked in the shop I told Tina I am here for the 5:30pm for Brian. Tina was upset and really frantic asking why am I here so early. I said I was in the neighborhood it's okay I will sit and wait. Brian took along time on the customer ahead of me so he saw me at 6:10pm instead of 5:30pm. I asked for my fake nails to be taken off, shellac to be replaced and polish change. He said "no I'm going to give you fill in cuz I don't have time to do a soak off and shellac. I got a 6:00pm and they are here now"In my head I'm thinking I am the customer paying my money. I should be able to chose what I want and if you didn't have time to do it you should have said that at 4:45pm when I walked in the door inside of having me sit and wait an hour and fifteen minutes. Plus my appointment was at 5:30pm but you took long with the other customer but I did not complain but now you want to push some crap on me that I don't want to rush me out the door. So I did not get loud nor ghetto I politely said, well I will just have someone else do it who has time and I started looking around the shop for a different nail tech. Brian got upset told me no I need to come back tomorrow and he will do it. I told him no I already sat here for an hour and fifteen minutes someone else will do my nails. He was upset and started talking in his native language to Tina. Than I asked Tina can she find one of the other nail techs who is available to do my nails. She said no and told me to come back tomorrow. I still didn't get loud nor ghetto. I walked up to one of the nail techs who was not busy to do my nails. He did them and did a good job. While the nail tech was doing my nails Tina walks up to me out the blue confrontational and say "I know your not talking about it and I'm coming to you but..." at that point I stopped her mid sentence and told her to please get away from me, stop talking to me and leave me alone while I'm getting my service"  than she said okay but can you not make anymore appointments. I told her don't worry after this incident I won't be back. Tina walked away. Also Brian switches up the prices often and charges me more money every other time I come. The prices always change and get more expensive for the same service and they get more rude over time. They do mediocre nails I won't be back. Read Less

I went here 2 times for an acrylic fill on my lunch hour due to convenience (right near my office). The first time I thought the quality was mediocre, and the second time was a terrible experience. The male nail technician was literally watching a foreign show on his phone AS he was doing my nails. He placed the phone against something so that it was facing him as he was doing my nails. He was paying more attention to the show then to my nails, so as you can assume the quality was terrible and he nicked my cuticles a few (painful) times. They had a misleading sign outside on the price of a fill (apparently on certain days at certain times). Also, they charge for cut down which I have never experienced at any other salon and I believe is ridiculous. My coworker and I occasionally come here for pedicures when we want to get out of the office and/or really need one. They do an ok job, however the pricing is inconsistent as they are always charging us different amounts for the same service. I would go here in an emergency situation if nothing else was available, however I am sure there are better options in the area. Read Less

I had an outstanding experience today with Janna, Tammy and the team from One on One Nail Tuition. They made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I had an eyebrow tint and shape that was quite seriously the best I have ever had. I could not believe the price either. One on One will definitely be my new beauty salon!! I am beyond happy with my results! THANK YOU Janna!! Read Less

Very rude. I didn't like the polish color on my nail and the gentleman got an attitude and they started speaking in their language. Just poor service. Not worth my hard earned money.

I came to Be Nails because my regular place was too crowded. The staff seemed somewhat friendly and the shop is in a convenient location. However, I must also say that their gel color selections are very limited and old. Additionally, I  felt that my services were rushed and that their tools were not clean.

I went to Be Nail Salon, upon recommendation, from a friend around 5:30 pm on a Wednesday.  When I walked to the door, the sign stated that they would charge $1 if anyone wanted to use a credit card and that customers should bring cash. STRIKE ONE. When I entered, I was told to sign in and I sat in the waiting area.  It wasn't crowded and I noticed that the place was dimly lit in the pedicure section. After a few minutes I was asked what I wanted by someone that was already with a customer (they never looked at the sign in sheet). They told me to go to chair #11...in the back. I asked if I could use the restroom and I left my water at the station. By the way, the bathroom was FILTHY and there weren't any paper towels available.  Anyway, when I came out, I was told to sit with another nail tech (my assigned tech decided to go to another customer).  When I went to retrieve my water from station #11, the new tech roughly spoke to me and told me to sit with him. When I acknowledged him I proceeded to retrieve my water and he reprimanded me. I sternly told him what I was doing and asked him if it was okay. When I sat at his station, he was physically angered. STRIKE TWO!Before he started I let him know that it was my first visit and that the salon came highly recommended. He was unfazed. I took out my own gel base and he had another attitude and insisted that they had their own products, however, I stood my ground. When he started filing, he was very aggressive and I was losing length in my natural nails. After grinding down two nails I asked him to try to keep the length and he told me that he was trying to even them out. STRIKE THREE!  My nails were professionally done a few weeks prior and they weren't that bad. That's when I asked him how much I owed him. He got really angry and told me to leave the salon. At 51 years, I have never been treated so badly!  I immediately left and went to my nail regular salon where I was greeted with kindness and received excellent service!  If I could I would give this place 0 stars. It is dirty and the nail techs are not friendly. Maybe this place is hit and miss...however, in my opinion DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Read Less

Be Nails is the pits.  I went there today for a pedicure.  I had come here since 2013.  I go twice a year.  Each year the salon upkeep and service has gone down, down, down.  Today, No one working the front desk, but an employee was doing make up on a customer.  I asked her a question, she ignored me.  There was no wait.   My pedicure took only about 20 minutes, not much done.  No soaking, no cuticles pushed, no lotion massage to my calfs and feet; just a little snip of my nails, a little scrub, then drying off with one of those nasty looking towels.  I asked for a fan instead of the UVA lamp for drying my polish, but the guy didn't want to get me one.  I decided to air dry my nails.  I'm usually a very strong tipper because I believe those in the service industry should be tipped well when they are kind, friendly, and do good work.  When they go over and above, I tip over and above.  Not so with this guy.  I tipped him 15% anyway even though he didn't deserve it.  Two minutes later, he reappeared with a little fan.  At this moment I'm at home, soaking my feet in T-tree essential oil and praying I don't develop a fungus.  I'm pretty sure this guy don't clean any of his equipment.  He grabbed clippers out of a caddy and threw them back in there after he clipped my nails.  I will "Be Gone" and won't "Be Back" to "Be Nails."

I went to Be nails yesterday to get an acrylic mani and pedi. I decided to go here again because I was happy with the service I got a few months ago when I went for a pedi. I didn't feel like the woman who did my nails was very friendly to begin with. She did my pedicure really nice which I was happy with. It went downhill when I went to get my manicure. When I sat down I literally showed the woman 2 pictures of how I wanted my nails short and round. As she started to put the acrylic on she shaped my nails straight and really long. I told her again I want them short and her response was why didn't you tell me. I told her that's why I showed her my picture smh. Once she was finished with my nails she charged me extra 3 bucks because I wanted them round. I didn't tip her and felt bad till after I left and looked at my nails. Since I was watching tv I didn't even notice that she had not done anything to my cuticles except for put that lotion on it. She didnt clip my hang nails either. I also noticed she didn't wipe off the previous nail polish on the tip thumb nail. While this place was clean and have good choices for polish I was highly disappointed at the lack in detail and unfriendliness. I would try to get this fixed but I don't have time for them to play dumb and pretend to not speak English. I am NEVER going here again!!!!!!! Read Less

I went to Be Nails to get my eyebrows done and came out HIGHLY disappointed in the service I received. The young girl that waxed my eyebrows burned my eyelids AND she didn't remove the unwanted stray hairs. When I left the nail salon and went to my car, I looked in the mirror and realized that I still had wax on my forehead and beneath my eyebrows!!! I walked back in and asked for Gina (the other lady that usually waxes my eyebrows) to correct the mistake the other girl did.  I will never go back to this place. I have scabs on my eyelids from when the first girl used hot wax on my skin.I have personally seen a few people come in and walkout very disappointed in the work that they do here. Gina is pretty good at what she does, but the rest of the employees will probably cause the place to go out of business.Once, I had a guy at this salon do my nails and he caused the cuticle on one of my nails to bleed. Ugh! Beware of this place. They just lost a customer. I'm  never going back here and if the scab on my eye ends up becoming a scar, I'm going to contact an attorney. Read Less

This was my first time for a pedicure.  I had trouble the minute I walked in the door. It was lunchtime and they looked busy, so I offered to come back later and the response was, "$22 dollar", while pointing at the sign-in sheet. So, I signed in and was immediately taken to a chair. No one explained to me that I needed to pick a color up front first. I sat in the chair and a man immediately started filling up the basin with water. My chair was severely reclined and was broken. After a younger guy fiddled with it, he had me move to another chair. By that time my feet had been in the basin and I was forced to walk to another chair with bare wet feet; I was not offered a towel. The entire course of my pedi, the nail tech proceeded to talk on the phone. At first I thought he was talking to himself until I realized he was wearing a headset. It's not that I had any great desire to have a conversation with him, but the practice of talking on the phone while working on a client is just rude. A couple times he was being a little too rough and actually hurt me. He was clearly paying more attention to the person on the phone than to me. He never once verbalized what he wanted me to do. Instead, I received taps on the leg and feet as signals, as if I were a dog. I'd rather pay more somewhere else and get better treatment. I was disappointed that my very first pedicure experience was not a good one after having waited to try it for so long. Read Less

The Tel-Twelve area seems to be a parched wasteland for good nail salons, surprising given the number of professional offices in the shopping epicenter of northern Southfield. I therefore awaited Be Nails opening with some interest. This new shop opened up beside Cosi and kitty-corner to DSW, a wise move for all the sandal-shopping ladies who realize they need a pedicure to accessorize those adorable M.I.A. wedges. It sits in the first "island" of buildings which doesn't contain Sam's Shoe Repair, across a very popular parking lot for the lunch time crowd.I didn't realize how big this nail salon is until I went inside. Bright and trimmed in polished wood all over, Be Nails invites guests into a clean space. Two rows of posh pedi chairs stretch back from the first chamber into the second area where the nail bars are attended by technicians. The separation is a great concept, diminishing noise and concentrating each group on one another. Someone was really thinking on the layout and I hope to see it emulated more in the metro area. The pedi chairs do not vibrate but have a swooping arm-rest/mini-table to prop your iPad or magazine down, and two of the largest flatscreens I have seen are centrally mounted for everyone to watch shows. I caught the beach volleyball trials and 200m swim in eye-popping resolution while the nail tech restored my toes to queenly glory. Be Nails' selection of polishes is a bit limited, featuring a sampling of OPI and several other lower tier brands I admit I don't recognize. They carry a full range of the shellac and fast-set gels as evidenced by the samples up at the front counter. No crusty and withered bottles here, but since they have not been open more than 3 weeks, hardly surprising.The service was prompt and efficient, and a pedi ought to be something performed over a lunch hour. My tech got me all polished up in about 25-30 minutes, not including drying time, and he was kindly gentle after I warned him I am ridiculously ticklish along my instep. Add a warm towel and an always beloved calf rub with a sweet scented lotion and all the cares of a rough week just float away. The pedi drying bar is near the front, the manicure bar at the back, which is necessary since I think they have fifteen to twenty pedi chairs and imagine if those all filled up! Costs are reasonable; I paid $26 plus tip. Early week specials run Monday to Wednesday, when the same pedi is $22 and a fill is about $14. I didn't realize they stopped on Wednesday due to the green sign in their window, and the price difference took me by surprise. For an emergency job or a quick touch up, they slot people right in; a young performer in the cutest cherry dress popped in after a bottle of nail polish in her car spilled all over her arm, and they helped get her fixed up in a jiffy and made sure her manicure wasn't ruined. They offered to fix it -- not even sure she had it done there, likely not -- on the spot if she needed. That's a nice touch.Be Nails wins points for being clean, reasonably priced, full service and organized. I would like to see a few more lines of nail polish if a girl can have her wish: Zoya or Butter anyone? Pleeeeease? Read Less
