    Chunk of uneven polish.
    Cyn P.

    The only reason I'm not giving 1 star is because I was able to get in on a same-day appointment... but once I entered I should've just turned around. The place was dusty, cramped and disheveled. I asked the owner if she had chrome polish, she said no. What place doesn't have chrome in 2024?! Also, I asked her in the beginning if she could do the bow design in an inspo photo, and said it wouldn't be an issue. But when it came down to it she handed me a bunch of stickers and asked me to find what I wanted. I specifically asked to have it painted and she said she wouldn't do it... a bow is two simple circles with 2 lines, not that hard. Now, the nails are the kicker. They're not even, not the same shape throughout and the thickest nails I've ever had. One nail has a mind of its own, going off to the right, that's not how my nail grows. Some of the polish is chunky and some you can see the actual nail. Lastly, when she said "All done", there was still paint all over my fingers, when I asked her to remove the nail polish she asked me to do it myself with a brush. This is when I finally put my foot down and asked her to do it. I've called every day since Saturday (it's Wednesday) to get these terrible things off but haven't been able to reach them. The right thing to do would be to call the customer back, or at least answer the phone. Save your money and go somewhere else, no go any where else!

    Spent the whole day looking for a nail place that would take any last minute appointments. Alta Sierra Nails gladly welcomed us, and let me just tell you, I will definitely make the hour drive here again JUST to get my nails done by the wonderful lady my cousin and I were blessed to have fill our gel nails. She listened to what we wanted and was helpful in giving us her opinion on how a design or polish may look. My cousin had no complaints and she complains about everything. The price is definitely worth it, our nails were filed down so they don't look thick and unnatural. From the layers of polish to not forgetting about the cuticle oil, I am forever grateful. Please come support them as the ladies who work here are amazing and genuinely care and take time on what you reqie

    I tried calling your salon a few times but no one ever picks up. How can I make an appointment with Kimmy? How much is it for a regular manicure and pedicure? Can I do it sometime next week?

    What your hour?

    10:30-6

    Absolute nightmare…read more Came in for a manicure and left wondering if I needed a tetanus shot. The clippers looked like they came from a murder scene, and the nail tech hacked away at my nails and cuticles like they had personally offended her. The tools were disgusting, one was held together with duct tape, and she grabbed a file from another customer's station and used it on me. The "massage" was basically a lotion accident she had to clean up afterward. I canceled the pedicure because I had already suffered enough. While I was waiting, another customer got her eyebrows done and walked out looking like she lost a fight with a weed whacker -- furious, in pain, and trying to figure out what the F*€k just happened. Dirty shop, terrible work, zero hygiene. If you're looking for a relaxing manicure, run. If you're looking for a story to tell your friends, this place delivers.

    I had an appointment scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and waited for 45 minutes without anyone…read moreacknowledging me or giving me an update. No one apologized, explained that they were running behind, or let me know when I could expect to be seen. I was completely ignored, which was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful of my time. I understand that salons can run behind occasionally, but good customer service means communicating with your clients. A simple apology or update would have gone a long way. Instead, I was left sitting there wondering if anyone even knew I was waiting. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon to others.
