I went with a small group of friends to get pedicures on vacation. We were barely greeted, and quickly told to go sit down at the massage chairs. The wait wasn’t bad, but the technician seemed incredibly busy so the whole process was rushed and very sloppy. What really grossed me out was after she finished with my toes she used the same tools to do my friends toes. I would not go back or recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

Beware of bad customer service and spa experience! MISLEADING : will lead you to spa chair as if you will get service but will not mention a wait time to only charge you $15 if you decide to leave after waiting over 45 minutes. BAD QUALITY: I had to specifically ASK my rep to remove my prior nail polish completely just before she tried to start painting over it with new color; as if that wouldn't be a given! Not to mention the LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL, one of the members in my party had a toe completely UNDONE! We didn't notice until we got home! He is an elderly man and wasn't able to do a proper quality check himself. Read Less

They only had three technicians working, but kept accepting customers and had them sit and wait in the pedi chairs. When one woman gave up and left after almost an hour, they actually *CHARGED* her $15 -- because she had used the massage chair. Really?? And she just told us how she comes there all the way from Manteo because she wanted to support their business. Also, they charged my dad extra because he is a man, and LEFT OUT one nail entirely! He is elderly and has bad eyesight so didn't notice until we got home. Terrible customer service! Read Less

By far the worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. What little service I did receive was just plain rude, but they were mostly too busy ignoring me even for that. I went in with a longer stiletto full set looking for a fill, the tech cut them so short I had to replace the whole set. When I asked for my pedicure first they soaked both of my hands in acetone for so long my skin began to peel off all over my fingers and hands. They left my legs wrapped in wet towels so long they became cold and slimey and then massaged me with a cold rock. The set itself looked horrible and I had to buy a file to reshape them once home. To top it all off they over charged my card and refuse to release a refund. AVOID. Read Less

I went there yesterday to get my feet done. I asked for the regular spa...$28. It started off fine but the older lady doing my nails was so busy talking to her friend she cut me. As she couldnt stop the bleeding she blamed it on a cuticle cut she asked me was I a diabetic. I said yes. I'm 9 months pregnant and I have gestational diabetes. Her and her friend proceed to try to stop the bleeding but putting nail glue on my toe as a bandaid. The bleeding did stop for the moment for her to finish. she kept apologizing. when it came time to pay the price was $43! Why!? In stead of arguing I paid and left. I'm never going back again. Ridiculous. The sad part was this was my favorite nail spot once upon a time. Read Less

Came here on a Friday with a Bridal Party (had reservations) - they really push the gel mani/pedis - which I get - more money, that's fine. But, at least do a good job! Two of my nails (it's now the Wednesday after) have already peeled off from my "gel" manicure. They have a poster showing that 14 days later, your nails still look perfect - except, they don't. She also didn't paint my full nail down to the cuticle, which really annoys me, so it "grows out" faster. Just a cheap way of doing business, don't care for it. Not to mention - she kept telling me how short my nails were and that my nails take twice as long as anyone else's because they're so short. She legit kept repeating it, it was pretty rude and unprofessional. I would've tipped her more, but she didn't deserve it. Read Less

I've have been coming here for the past 2 years I lived in Charleston. Everything up until today has been great. Less then a week ago I came in for a fill in with gel polish, towards the end it got busy so the guy rushed to finish them, leaving them not looking so great. I said something to him and he told me to wait. I waited for 20 mins and decided to just leave. I came back in today to get a pedicure before my trip which was great. But a the women up front kept telling me ...to get my nails done too because they looked bad. When I told her I had them done there her attitude changed pretty quickly (because of course they wouldn't give me a discount to fix the bad nails I had done there). When I explained to her what happened a week ago she didn't say anything about it and said "okay just pedicure today" Like excuse me? Pretty sad that they do not value their customers or fix their mistakes. See More Read Less

WORST nail experience ever. Came for a bridal party, booked days in advance and they acted like they did not even know we were coming. Got my toes done first, the entire pedicure lasted not even 10 minutes, she didn't paint my entire toes and within an hour of leaving the salon the polish was chipped. For the manicure, I told her I just wanted gel polish and showed her a picture of what I wanted. She kept telling me how bad it would look with my natural nails because my fingers were small (quite rude) so finally I got tired of arguing with her and just got acrylic which was an even worse mistake. They are crooked, you can see the glue on them, she screwed up my cuticles, when I asked her to file town the sharp edges she got an attitude. The whole experience was terrible. Not to mention, I showed her a picture when I walked in of the design I wanted and she said she could do it (ombre). She painted my nails a single color then when I asked if she was going to finish, said she couldn't do ombre. We ended up choosing another color and she simply painted on top of the color she already put. Simply put, DO NOT GO THERE. They are terrible and rude. Read Less

It was not a good experience for us at all. Some of the pedicures were rushed and lacking the essentials like filing/foot scrubbing. I was first to sit for my pedicure and one of the last to be finished while my sister's lasted about 10 minutes.

The manicurists did not listen to requests being made for specific designs (asked for a white heart and got a flower) and were hesitant to fix their mistakes (asked for clear glitter overlay on ring fingers and she painted them a whole different color instead, then had to tell someone else repeatedly it's not what was requested).

Not only that, but I tried to ask the manager for a refund and she was a total jerk saying that she would only give me 10%- which even if I had accepted, would still be $30 for a TERRIBLE PEDICURE.

If you'd like to ruin your pants, go to Elite nails! I had on capris which I folded up to my knees. The overzealous pedicurist kept hitting my folded up capris as she applied lotion...or so I thought. It was an oil and even though I pre-treated my capris and threw them into the laundry as soon as I got home, those capris are history!

Terrible. Consider my review and do not go. Requested a mani pedi today and waited forever just to share 2 different women who did not take the time to do anything. 10 second scrub 60 second massage (only on my legs, none on my hands) and poorly applied nail polish. Not only was the service and skill poor but they were unsanitary! I watched them dump the water bowl from the girl beside me and fill it up for me to soak in...no sanitation for their tools, not even when they drew blood from being so aggressive and rushed on cuticles. I'm so disappointed because I would hope a business would value a customer's dollar more. Oh and the topper was they spoke to each other the whole time while we awkwardly interrupted their conversation by being customers. Will never go back even if they are the last nail business on the planet. Read Less

Absolute WORST pedicure I have EVER received. Does NOT deserve even a single star. My first nail technician pulled out a clearly used and dirty nail file, proceeded to cut the skin just under my big toe with said nail file to the point of drawing blood, didn't even bother to acknowledge that she had cut me, couldn't understand me when I asked questions...then I switch to another technician who sprayed alcohol in my still bleeding cut without warning, then switched to another who began painting my nails the wrong color, then couldn't  open the bottle of polish I HAD picked out, had me pick another color completely, and then proceeded to quickly and sloppily paint my toe nails using one coat, no overcoat, and got nail polish in the cut left by the previous technician. All of this was after a thirty to thirty five minute wait in which my feet were soaking and turning to prunes. I will absolutely NEVER return. The whole experience was so awful I actually feel that I may need to see a podiatrist to be sure I didn't wind up with any infections. Totally unprofessional horrendous experience. My toe is still in pain and it's been several hours. The second I left I went to pick up remover from the grocery store next door to try and undo the terrible pedicure I received. DO NOT GO HERE!

This nail salon was the worst salon I have ever been to! I went to get a mani and pedi during a rainy day on vacation and left there extremely angry.  To begin with, the male owner doing my pedicure rushed through the first part of my pedicure, didn't wear gloves, and didn't sanitize any of his equipment before using it on me.  Half way through my pedicure he leaves and says "give me one second".  After waiting for 20+ minutes with half of my pedicure done, the woman doing my mother's pedicure finished mine.  The pedicure was extremely under whelming seeing as we paid extra for a "deluxe package" and barely got a basic pedicure.  Moving on to the manicure, the lady doing mine was average.  I don't hate my nails but they're not the best whatsoever.  She also didn't sanitize her nail equipment which started it off poorly.    My mother was getting her manicure done beside me and the male owner (mentioned above) was doing hers.  She voiced her dissatisfaction with the service mid-way through her manicure and his only response was "I've been doing this 15 years".  For the rest of the manicure, she simply sucked it up and just said "it's fine".  After her manicure was done, she asked what I thought of it and I was brutally honest and told her as well as the owner that it was the worst manicure I've ever seen.  It was sloppy, rough and sticky; definitely not worth what we paid.  After we said it looked bad and wasn't what she wanted, he continued to say "I've been doing this for 15 years" and started screaming at my mother.  He then offered a $20 gift card after this encounter, in which we responded by saying we would never come back ever again! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY AT THIS SALON. IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE WE'VE EVER HAD AT A SALON!!! Read Less

This is worst place EVER to get your nails done. Be warned DO NOT GO HERE!!!  If I could have given it negative 10 stars I would have. The owner was in such a rush to do my nails and I told him how bad he was doing. They were sloppy and I told him and he started yelling at me. Then he wanted to take pictures of my nails! Weirdo!! The gel polish was cheap and my nails are sticky and have hairs in them. They don't sanitize their instruments either. I paid for extra on the pedicure and that was a waste. I received no extra anything!!  Now I have to go somewhere else to get them fixed. What an awful  experience for a vacation.  Save your money and go somewhere else!!! I hope they go out of business. And who yells at their customers?? Really?? No one should ever have to experience what my daughter and I just experienced there today! Read Less

Less then impressed with this place. I have been here three times, and that has been three times too many. Each time I try to give the benefit of the doubt and each time I regret it.My mom and I go to have shellac manicures and I get a pedicure as well. They began barking orders the second that we walked in, demanded us to pick the polishes and then sit down. My mom and I stood together and they kept demanding that we go to our stations before we had even picked the colors out.The deluxe pedicure is the equivalent of putting a discount "mud" on yourself, wrapping your legs is boiled towels, and then putting garbage bags on your legs.. Yes GARBAGE BAGS!!The service is terrible and it is a cattle call, they offer rushed services for the price of a full service and the quality is poor. After burning myself on the UV lights repeatedly I finally said I'd had enough- "you're okay" they kept saying - uh, no... NOT okay.

Your results will be better if you chewed your own nails off! This place doesnt even deserve the one star...Be prepared for the worst experience at a nail salon... ever!The gruesome details are far too numerous for this review, nor do I wish to further aggravate myself. Sufice it to say, I should have Yelped Elite Nails prior to making the appointment for a ManiPed, and I should have followed my instincts to leave when we arrived for the 9:30am appointment and the shop was manned by only one guy wearing two bluetooth headsets. My friend had to wait about 15 min for another employee to show up... a third employee straggled in about 15 min thereafter and there walk-ins waiting with no one to service them.The apparent pack leader laughed when I pulled away as he used the coarser file on my toes and it ripped into the skin. The morning proceeded from a horrible pedi onto an even worse manicure that concluded with polish that was bubbling and disfigured because "headset" did not fully remove the old polish. The only finger to turn out well was the one I made him do over three times because I could see big bumps in the polish as he kept adding more & more coats rather than getting to the base of the problem. This photo (Tips) is about 15 min after the completion of the manicure... the biggest insult: I was charged $5 to soak my nails for 5 minutes in a bowl full of polish remover and he didnt bother to fully scrape the reminents off before proceeding. The guy taking my money ignored my  comment when I pointed this out to him... and when I asked if that was approperate he pointed to "headset" and said to take it up with him. Needless to say someone as uninclined to do a credible job, someone whos standards for performance are as hopeless as this, isnt really interested in my expectations as a customer.

We should have consulted Yelp before coming here.  I wouldn't say that it was the worst mani/pedi experience I've ever had, but nowhere near the best either.  We called ahead, thinking we were making an appointment, only to find out that when we arrived we were going to wait.  No worries, since we got extra soaking time in the massage chair.  We asked about the prices and the girl only proposed a $40 pedicure and a $55 pedicure, so we opted for the "cheaper" pedicure.  We came to a point in the pedicure where my legs were wrapped with hot towels and covered in pink trash bags.  Then I was shocked that my girl then proceeds to start from scratch on another person.  So I sat there with bags on my legs for a good 20 minutes, until she was done with the other girl.  Meanwhile people just keep on coming in and they don't make anyone wait, they put them in massage chair to soak.  When my pedi is done they move me to a manicure station, and 5 minutes later I look back and my girl is doing ANOTHER pedicure.  This is when I get upset and say something.  I've been getting pedi's and mani's for 15+ years and I've never had someone take another person while doing me at the same time.  What happened to first come, first serve?    Worst part?  As we were checking out, we found out that they offer a $25 pedicure, but we never got that option.  So not only were they rude, but also deceitful.   If you are feeling desperate and decide to go to this place, be sure to block out 5 hours in your schedule!

Had an awful experience here. Stopped in to get a quick shellac, was told it was $30, upon looking at the menu saw it was $20 so she said okay $20 and acted like I was inconveniencing her by coming in.  The whole place was empty.  She started taking my previous polish off, leaves it around all of my nails and starts opening a shellac bottle. I asked her to please get the polish off my nails so she files it off to the point that my fingers are hurting.  Not saying a word to me the entire time it's going on.So she paints them and I try to subtly look at them and they seem fine.  She finishes, wipes them, and I look down to see polish remaining all over my fingers surrounding my nails.  At this point I decide I'll just try to fix it at home with clippers.I paid with a bigger bill which she held up to the light a few times which weirded me out.  They didn't give me small enough change so I gave a bill back.  I put money to the side and as I was putting the rest in my wallet, the woman grabbed the money from the counter, said thank you, and walked away.  It was the weirdest experience ever. Incredibly unprofessional, I'll never go back.  The place also smells awful-very strong chemical odors like no salon I've ever been in. Read Less

Terrible...don't go to this place! I took my two kids there for pedicures. The under 10 kid price was $20...pretty expensive but it was a treat. They were done in 15 mins. They didn't soak their feet, didn't scrub their feet, used no base coat, only put on one coat of polish and a topcoat.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The nail tech ripped my toe cuticle on the SECOND TOE in and I started bleeding-- almost as soon as she started. She saw me wince (obviously it hurt and was stinging), to which she shrugged her shoulders and gave an insincere apology. I wanted to get up and leave but stayed since I was with a wedding party. The rest of my pedicure went ok but she hardly filed or shaped my nails for my manicure (perhaps because she saw that I didn't tip her well when I signed my credit card receipt). My nail polish is wavy, not smooth, and she smudged some of the corners when she was digging out the extra nail polish from the edges of my nails. Every time I look at my nails it just makes me angry. And I'm super worried about getting a nail fungus on my toe from where she ripped my cuticle. DON'T GO HERE. Read Less

Getting a mani/pedi has become a vacation tradtion with my best friend.  We went here because we could see it from the front of our rental house.   I have to say I was less than impressed.  During the pedicure, my manicurist kept asking me if I wanted a design for extra money and I kept politely declining.  And she ask me again, and again but she would ask in deceptive ways like 'You want design, right?"  No!!    Also she really didn't massage my foot or anything, I was in and out of that chair in no time.  In regards to the manicure, that was all fine.  I wasn't really a fan of their uv lights subsituting for heated dryers.  I kept sitting there because I didn't really have anything to go on to keep time of how long I had been there.  The woman then came over and said how I was done and could go home but as soon as I walked out of the salon, my nails being still wet got smudged.   I was not happy at all.

By far the worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. What little service I did receive was just plain rude, but they were mostly too busy ignoring me even for that. I went in with a longer stiletto full set looking for a fill, the tech cut them so short I had to replace the whole set. When I asked for my pedicure first they soaked both of my hands in acetone for so long my skin began to peel off all over my fingers and hands. They left my legs wrapped in wet towels so long they became cold and slimey and then massaged me with a cold rock. The set itself looked horrible and I had to buy a file to reshape them once home. To top it all off they over charged my card and refuse to release a refund. AVOID. Read Less

I went there yesterday to get my feet done. I asked for the regular spa...$28. It started off fine but the older lady doing my nails was so busy talking to her friend she cut me. As she couldnt stop the bleeding she blamed it on a cuticle cut she asked me was I a diabetic. I said yes. I'm 9 months pregnant and I have gestational diabetes. Her and her friend proceed to try to stop the bleeding but putting nail glue on my toe as a bandaid. The bleeding did stop for the moment for her to finish. she kept apologizing. when it came time to pay the price was $43! Why!? In stead of arguing I paid and left. I'm never going back again.

Two of my nails (it's now the Wednesday after) have already peeled off from my "gel" manicure. They have a poster showing that 14 days later, your nails still look perfect - except, they don't. She also didn't paint my full nail down to the cuticle, which really annoys me, so it "grows out" faster. Just a cheap way of doing business, don't care for it. Not to mention - she kept telling me how short my nails were and that my nails take twice as long as anyone else's because they're so short.

My eyebrows always look great but my nails always look mediocre. I once got the gel nails and they chipped in a week. My toes only last a few days and the polish is never completely smooth.

I've have been coming here for the past 2 years I lived in Charleston. Everything up until today has been great. Less then a week ago I came in for a fill in with gel polish, towards the end it got busy so the guy rushed to finish them, leaving them not looking so great. I said something to him and he told me to wait. I waited for 20 mins and decided to just leave. I came back in today to get a pedicure before my trip which was great. But a the women up front kept telling me ...to get my nails done too because they looked bad. When I told her I had them done there her attitude changed pretty quickly (because of course they wouldn't give me a discount to fix the bad nails I had done there). When I explained to her what happened a week ago she didn't say anything about it and said "okay just pedicure today" Like excuse me? Pretty sad that they do not value their customers or fix their mistakes. See More Read Less

WORST nail experience ever. Came for a bridal party, booked days in advance and they acted like they did not even know we were coming. Got my toes done first, the entire pedicure lasted not even 10 minutes, she didn't paint my entire toes and within an hour of leaving the salon the polish was chipped. For the manicure, I told her I just wanted gel polish and showed her a picture of what I wanted. She kept telling me how bad it would look with my natural nails because my fingers were small (quite rude) so finally I got tired of arguing with her and just got acrylic which was an even worse mistake. They are crooked, you can see the glue on them, she screwed up my cuticles, when I asked her to file town the sharp edges she got an attitude. The whole experience was terrible. Not to mention, I showed her a picture when I walked in of the design I wanted and she said she could do it (ombre). She painted my nails a single color then when I asked if she was going to finish, said she couldn't do ombre. We ended up choosing another color and she simply painted on top of the color she already put. Simply put, DO NOT GO THERE. They are terrible and rude. Read Less

It was not a good experience for us at all. Some of the pedicures were rushed and lacking the essentials like filing/foot scrubbing. I was first to sit for my pedicure and one of the last to be finished while my sister's lasted about 10 minutes. My other sister paid for a gel manicure but received only a nail soak and the gel--no filing/lotion, etc. while we were there two separate groups came in to complain that the pedicures they'd received the day before were all chipped a...nd messed up. The manicurists did not listen to requests being made for specific designs (asked for a white heart and got a flower) and were hesitant to fix their mistakes (asked for clear glitter overlay on ring fingers and she painted them a whole different color instead, then had to tell someone else repeatedly it's not what was requested).

If you'd like to ruin your pants, go to Elite nails! I had on capris which I folded up to my knees. The overzealous pedicurist kept hitting my folded up capris as she applied lotion...or so I thought. It was an oil and even though I pre-treated my capris and threw them into the laundry as soon as I got home, those capris are history!

Terrible. Consider my review and do not go. Requested a mani pedi today and waited forever just to share 2 different women who did not take the time to do anything. 10 second scrub 60 second massage (only on my legs, none on my hands) and poorly applied nail polish. Not only was the service and skill poor but they were unsanitary! I watched them dump the water bowl from the girl beside me and fill it up for me to soak in...no sanitation for their tools, not even when they drew blood from being so aggressive and rushed on cuticles. I'm so disappointed because I would hope a business would value a customer's dollar more. Oh and the topper was they spoke to each other the whole time while we awkwardly interrupted their conversation by being customers.

Absolute WORST pedicure I have EVER received. Does NOT deserve even a single star. My first nail technician pulled out a clearly used and dirty nail file, proceeded to cut the skin just under my big toe with said nail file to the point of drawing blood, didn't even bother to acknowledge that she had cut me, couldn't understand me when I asked questions...then I switch to another technician who sprayed alcohol in my still bleeding cut without warning, then switched to another who began painting my nails the wrong color, then couldn't  open the bottle of polish I HAD picked out, had me pick another color completely, and then proceeded to quickly and sloppily paint my toe nails using one coat, no overcoat, and got nail polish in the cut left by the previous technician. All of this was after a thirty to thirty five minute wait in which my feet were soaking and turning to prunes. I will absolutely NEVER return. The whole experience was so awful I actually feel that I may need to see a podiatrist to be sure I didn't wind up with any infections. Totally unprofessional horrendous experience.

This nail salon was the worst salon I have ever been to! I went to get a mani and pedi during a rainy day on vacation and left there extremely angry.  To begin with, the male owner doing my pedicure rushed through the first part of my pedicure, didn't wear gloves, and didn't sanitize any of his equipment before using it on me.  Half way through my pedicure he leaves and says "give me one second".  After waiting for 20+ minutes with half of my pedicure done, the woman doing my mother's pedicure finished mine.  The pedicure was extremely under whelming seeing as we paid extra for a "deluxe package" and barely got a basic pedicure.  Moving on to the manicure, the lady doing mine was average.  I don't hate my nails but they're not the best whatsoever.  She also didn't sanitize her nail equipment which started it off poorly.    My mother was getting her manicure done beside me and the male owner (mentioned above) was doing hers.  She voiced her dissatisfaction with the service mid-way through her manicure and his only response was "I've been doing this 15 years".  For the rest of the manicure, she simply sucked it up and just said "it's fine".  After her manicure was done, she asked what I thought of it and I was brutally honest and told her as well as the owner that it was the worst manicure I've ever seen.  It was sloppy, rough and sticky; definitely not worth what we paid.  After we said it looked bad and wasn't what she wanted, he continued to say "I've been doing this for 15 years" and started screaming at my mother.  He then offered a $20 gift card after this encounter, in which we responded by saying we would never come back ever again!

They began barking orders the second that we walked in, demanded us to pick the polishes and then sit down. My mom and I stood together and they kept demanding that we go to our stations before we had even picked the colors out.The deluxe pedicure is the equivalent of putting a discount "mud" on yourself, wrapping your legs is boiled towels, and then putting garbage bags on your legs..

Your results will be better if you chewed your own nails off! This place doesnt even deserve the one star...Be prepared for the worst experience at a nail salon... ever!The gruesome details are far too numerous for this review, nor do I wish to further aggravate myself. Sufice it to say, I should have Yelped Elite Nails prior to making the appointment for a ManiPed, and I should have followed my instincts to leave when we arrived for the 9:30am appointment and the shop was manned by only one guy wearing two bluetooth headsets. My friend had to wait about 15 min for another employee to show up... a third employee straggled in about 15 min thereafter and there walk-ins waiting with no one to service them.The apparent pack leader laughed when I pulled away as he used the coarser file on my toes and it ripped into the skin. The morning proceeded from a horrible pedi onto an even worse manicure that concluded with polish that was bubbling and disfigured because "headset" did not fully remove the old polish. The only finger to turn out well was the one I made him do over three times because I could see big bumps in the polish as he kept adding more & more coats rather than getting to the base of the problem. This photo (Tips) is about 15 min after the completion of the manicure... the biggest insult: I was charged $5 to soak my nails for 5 minutes in a bowl full of polish remover and he didnt bother to fully scrape the reminents off before proceeding. The guy taking my money ignored my  comment when I pointed this out to him... and when I asked if that was approperate he pointed to "headset" and said to take it up with him. Needless to say someone as uninclined to do a credible job, someone whos standards for performance are as hopeless as this, isnt really interested in my expectations as a customer.

We should have consulted Yelp before coming here.  I wouldn't say that it was the worst mani/pedi experience I've ever had, but nowhere near the best either.  We called ahead, thinking we were making an appointment, only to find out that when we arrived we were going to wait.  No worries, since we got extra soaking time in the massage chair.  We asked about the prices and the girl only proposed a $40 pedicure and a $55 pedicure, so we opted for the "cheaper" pedicure.  We came to a point in the pedicure where my legs were wrapped with hot towels and covered in pink trash bags.  Then I was shocked that my girl then proceeds to start from scratch on another person.  So I sat there with bags on my legs for a good 20 minutes, until she was done with the other girl.  Meanwhile people just keep on coming in and they don't make anyone wait, they put them in massage chair to soak.  When my pedi is done they move me to a manicure station, and 5 minutes later I look back and my girl is doing ANOTHER pedicure.  This is when I get upset and say something.  I've been getting pedi's and mani's for 15+ years and I've never had someone take another person while doing me at the same time.  What happened to first come, first serve?    Worst part?  As we were checking out, we found out that they offer a $25 pedicure, but we never got that option.  So not only were they rude, but also deceitful.   If you are feeling desperate and decide to go to this place, be sure to block out 5 hours in your schedule!

Had an awful experience here. Stopped in to get a quick shellac, was told it was $30, upon looking at the menu saw it was $20 so she said okay $20 and acted like I was inconveniencing her by coming in.  The whole place was empty.  She started taking my previous polish off, leaves it around all of my nails and starts opening a shellac bottle. I asked her to please get the polish off my nails so she files it off to the point that my fingers are hurting.  Not saying a word to me the entire time it's going on.So she paints them and I try to subtly look at them and they seem fine.  She finishes, wipes them, and I look down to see polish remaining all over my fingers surrounding my nails.  At this point I decide I'll just try to fix it at home with clippers.I paid with a bigger bill which she held up to the light a few times which weirded me out.  They didn't give me small enough change so I gave a bill back.  I put money to the side and as I was putting the rest in my wallet, the woman grabbed the money from the counter, said thank you, and walked away.  It was the weirdest experience ever. Incredibly unprofessional, I'll never go back.  The place also smells awful-very strong chemical odors like no salon I've ever been in. Read Less

Terrible...don't go to this place! I took my two kids there for pedicures. The under 10 kid price was $20...pretty expensive but it was a treat. They were done in 15 mins. They didn't soak their feet, didn't scrub their feet, used no base coat, only put on one coat of polish and a topcoat. I don't think they treated the adults this way because a lady who was there before the kids was still there when mine were done. My kids even knew it was horrible. I should have known when I saw at least two signs saying NO REFUNDS. Find some place else to spend your money. Read Less

Nail beds are tender from bleeding6. My fingers actually hurt!I won't be going back. How ever if they still feel this way in a couple days... I'm going back and demanding they do something! Read Less

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The nail tech ripped my toe cuticle on the SECOND TOE in and I started bleeding-- almost as soon as she started. She saw me wince (obviously it hurt and was stinging), to which she shrugged her shoulders and gave an insincere apology. I wanted to get up and leave but stayed since I was with a wedding party. The rest of my pedicure went ok but she hardly filed or shaped my nails for my manicure (perhaps because she saw that I didn't tip her well when I signed my credit card receipt). My nail polish is wavy, not smooth, and she smudged some of the corners when she was digging out the extra nail polish from the edges of my nails. Every time I look at my nails it just makes me angry. And I'm super worried about getting a nail fungus on my toe from where she ripped my cuticle. DON'T GO HERE. Read Less

Getting a mani/pedi has become a vacation tradtion with my best friend.  We went here because we could see it from the front of our rental house.   I have to say I was less than impressed.  During the pedicure, my manicurist kept asking me if I wanted a design for extra money and I kept politely declining.  And she ask me again, and again but she would ask in deceptive ways like 'You want design, right?"  No!!    Also she really didn't massage my foot or anything, I was in and out of that chair in no time.  In regards to the manicure, that was all fine.  I wasn't really a fan of their uv lights subsituting for heated dryers.  I kept sitting there because I didn't really have anything to go on to keep time of how long I had been there.  The woman then came over and said how I was done and could go home but as soon as I walked out of the salon, my nails being still wet got smudged.   I was not happy at all.

This was the worst manicure I have ever gotten and was extremely over priced. There was a hair in my new dried polish and some of the pervious coloring I had was still there. When I complained to the man about my issues with the job he had done he told me to come back later and he would fix them...um I'm not going within 3ft of your shop again dude! And who the heck keeps Christmas decorations up year round anyways!? Needless to say if you want your nails done GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Read Less
