I have always loved this place, great experience every time. Well not anymore! I went in with my mother in law and we both got the same pedicure yet I noticed both employees did something completely different. When we are both paying for the same service I would expect they would both do the same steps to a good pedicure. I will not be going back there anytime soon!! Read Less

Wasn't impressed. I've never gotten my nails done before so I'm by no means an expert, but it was a terrible job. One of my fingers is crooked, another has a giant air bubble, and another is causing my cuticle to turn black. My gel extensions are also super thick, I know enough that they shouldn't be that thick. My free massage was the worst massage I've ever had. It hurt so badly. They are clearly not trained to massage. Save your money and go elsewhere, I wish I did. Read Less

I've come here for years and I love it. The people are always so kind and friendly. Sometimes I believe they have a hard time understanding English in specific regards but bringing photos and using descriptive hand gestures and broad words is the key to getting exactly what you need. They know how to get the job done and the atmosphere is very nice. Pleasant music, news on mute, very open space, it feels like they have a good system down. Also, they usually throw in a 5 min shoulder massage after a manicure and god it feels good. I come here when I can and it's always really nice. Plus, the massage chairs (during pedicures) are super lovely. So fun and it feels good and makes me laugh too when I'm with friends.

My usual go-to place for Mani-pedi and ten min massage. But I have to say I had one really awful and embarrassing time in the past year or so when the girl doing our nails chided me for not enough tip. I always tip more than enough. If I get a $7eyebrow wax, 20%tip is less than $2, but always tip over that! It was rude and embarrassing to cause a scene like that. Read Less

Cut me twice, enough to bleed. My "massage" well my nails were drying consisted of two rubs on my shoulder, then she left. She then hovered over my husband when he was paying and corrected him when he filled in the tip amount. Told him it wasn't enough for two workers. A friend was using a gift certificate, and was told it didn't include tip. Obviously MUCH more concerned with tips than customer service. Read Less

I've gotten a few pedicures here, I usually get in with no appointment. All of the chairs are massage chairs that you can control with a remote. Large color selection of nail polish. I don't think the pedicures are lengthy, but they don't feel rushed either. The pedicure stations are kind of set up in pairs, so you are close enough to talk to the person next to you easily, if you go with a friend. They usually give you a shoulder massage while you are waiting for your nails to dry. I see a lot of reviews about staff being pushy for tips, I personally have never experienced that in the 4-5 times I've been there (but, I do tip around 20% each visit) Read Less

I've been to Miracle Nails for pedicures several times over the last few years and the service is always variable. Yesterday, however, was really the worst. Woman with name tag "Jessica" did my pedicure. Water in foot tub was ice cold, "Jessica" had really long finger nails herself which were quite painful when she touched my feet, and some man who worked there, no name tag, stood over her speaking in Korean toward the end in this kind of aggressive way. Also, the massage chairs are starting to look very shabby and over used. Not sure I will go back. Read Less

I'm not sure how this establishment gets so few stars. I'm here today with my mom and baby sister for her 25th birthday. All three of our pedicures looks amazing. The attention to detail and thorough care is not something you find at all, anywhere, these days. Nicole gave me a great pedi massage and because I didn't need the manicure I asked for just an arm massage. Shortly after I found myself in a 10 minute chair massage and paraffin on my hands, complimentary, I nearly fell asleep. Of course we tipped exemplary and I feel relaxed and confident in wearing sandals this winter. Would highly recommend to anyone. Read Less

Decent pedicure & pleasant shoulder massage included with the spa package. Hot stone leg massage and paraffin hand treatment was also enjoyable. All the techs were pleasant; treated my mom & children nicely. The space is very open and doesn't smell like chemicals. Giving three stars due to the towel and pedicure tools not appearing to be brand new/clean/sterilized. I like to see the tools come out of a new package or sanitizing liquid; these were already sitting there at the station. Read Less

I visited Miracle Nails several times for gel manicures and pedicures. After my last experience at the salon, I don't plan to return.Midway through my appointment, the salon switched the technician working on my nails with another employee who was incredibly rude. Throughout appointments, the staff at Miracle Nails pushes you to purchase more expensive pedicure services. This visit was no exception. My new technician repeatedly asked me to upgrade to the more expensive service (despite my repeated refusals) until the client in the next chair literally rolled her eyes on my behalf. For the remainder of the appointment, the technician was rough and unfriendly. Though I was extremely dissatisfied with the service, I left a standard 15% tip against my better judgment. Upon reading the amount, the staff member repeated it back to me as if to ask for a larger tip. I was shocked. The customer service at Miracle Nails is terrible, and pedicures are rushed and overpriced. I will not be back. Read Less

They will only bother to make an effort if you get a spa package for $65 but maybe they should put a little more effort on the cheaper packages if they want anyone to pay for bigger services.

When Miracle opened a couple years ago, they were great. I can only speak to their pedis, but every pedi I received there was very good, and the salon technicians were very attentive to your specific needs.Fast forward to summer 2012: everything changed. They hustle you to buy the Spa Pedicure at twice the price. If you say no, your regular pedi is plain awful. They spend all of ten minutes, with little attention to anything - they hardly slough off any dead skin, give a 10-second massage, and a quick wipe of the calves. Their lovely heated massage at the nail drying table that once lasted a good five minutes now lasts 30 seconds, and it's poorer quality overall. I went back for about 3-4 pedis afterwards just to be sure it wasn't because they were busy with a wedding party or the like. Nope, even when I was only one of two people there, I got the same shoddy pedicure.So, really, shame on them. I'm sorry, I can't afford a spa pedicure. But that doesn't mean I should receive less service, especially a quality of service that they once gave. I won't be back. Read Less

Cut me twice, enough to bleed. My "massage" well my nails were drying consisted of two rubs on my shoulder, then she left. She then hovered over my husband when he was paying and corrected him when he filled in the tip amount. Told him it wasn't enough for two workers. A friend was using a gift certificate, and was told it didn't include tip. Obviously MUCH more concerned with tips than customer service. Read Less

I've gotten a few pedicures here, I usually get in with no appointment. All of the chairs are massage chairs that you can control with a remote. Large color selection of nail polish. I don't think the pedicures are lengthy, but they don't feel rushed either. The pedicure stations are kind of set up in pairs, so you are close enough to talk to the person next to you easily, if you go with a friend. They usually give you a shoulder massage while you are waiting for your nails to dry. I see a lot of reviews about staff being pushy for tips, I personally have never experienced that in the 4-5 times I've been there (but, I do tip around 20% each visit) Read Less

I've been to Miracle Nails for pedicures several times over the last few years and the service is always variable. Yesterday, however, was really the worst. Woman with name tag "Jessica" did my pedicure. Water in foot tub was ice cold, "Jessica" had really long finger nails herself which were quite painful when she touched my feet, and some man who worked there, no name tag, stood over her speaking in Korean toward the end in this kind of aggressive way. Also, the massage chairs are starting to look very shabby and over used. Not sure I will go back. Read Less

So after our pedicure we left a 10% tip the owner followed us outside and said we should give at least a 20% tip because they are hard workers and deserve more. I will never go back there again

I'm not sure how this establishment gets so few stars. I'm here today with my mom and baby sister for her 25th birthday. All three of our pedicures looks amazing. The attention to detail and thorough care is not something you find at all, anywhere, these days. Nicole gave me a great pedi massage and because I didn't need the manicure I asked for just an arm massage. Shortly after I found myself in a 10 minute chair massage and paraffin on my hands, complimentary, I nearly fell asleep. Of course we tipped exemplary and I feel relaxed and confident in wearing sandals this winter. Would highly recommend to anyone. Read Less

Decent pedicure & pleasant shoulder massage included with the spa package. Hot stone leg massage and paraffin hand treatment was also enjoyable. All the techs were pleasant; treated my mom & children nicely. The space is very open and doesn't smell like chemicals. Giving three stars due to the towel and pedicure tools not appearing to be brand new/clean/sterilized. I like to see the tools come out of a new package or sanitizing liquid; these were already sitting there at the station. Read Less

Check your credit card statement to make sure the amount you signed for is the amount that shows up as the final charge! Somehow the tip turned into $13 instead of $10.

Wow. Horrible. First of all, making an appointment here means absolutely nothing. They are totally disorganized and just randomly take people who are waiting in no particular order. Last time they brought me a bowl to soak my fingers in that had flakes of someone else's old nail polish in it! When I asked for a clean one they fought with me about it for like 5 min. Disgusting.

I visited Miracle Nails several times for gel manicures and pedicures. After my last experience at the salon, I don't plan to return.Midway through my appointment, the salon switched the technician working on my nails with another employee who was incredibly rude. Throughout appointments, the staff at Miracle Nails pushes you to purchase more expensive pedicure services. This visit was no exception. My new technician repeatedly asked me to upgrade to the more expensive service (despite my repeated refusals) until the client in the next chair literally rolled her eyes on my behalf. For the remainder of the appointment, the technician was rough and unfriendly. Though I was extremely dissatisfied with the service, I left a standard 15% tip against my better judgment. Upon reading the amount, the staff member repeated it back to me as if to ask for a larger tip. I was shocked. The customer service at Miracle Nails is terrible, and pedicures are rushed and overpriced. I will not be back. Read Less

Terrible. $37 for the worst manicure/pedicure I have ever seen. They will only bother to make an effort if you get a spa package for $65 but maybe they should put a little more effort on the cheaper packages if they want anyone to pay for bigger services.

When Miracle opened a couple years ago, they were great. I can only speak to their pedis, but every pedi I received there was very good, and the salon technicians were very attentive to your specific needs.Fast forward to summer 2012: everything changed. They hustle you to buy the Spa Pedicure at twice the price. If you say no, your regular pedi is plain awful. They spend all of ten minutes, with little attention to anything - they hardly slough off any dead skin, give a 10-second massage, and a quick wipe of the calves. Their lovely heated massage at the nail drying table that once lasted a good five minutes now lasts 30 seconds, and it's poorer quality overall. I went back for about 3-4 pedis afterwards just to be sure it wasn't because they were busy with a wedding party or the like. Nope, even when I was only one of two people there, I got the same shoddy pedicure.So, really, shame on them. I'm sorry, I can't afford a spa pedicure. But that doesn't mean I should receive less service, especially a quality of service that they once gave. I won't be back. Read Less
