I've been here four separate times for various services: pedicure and Apres Gel-X manicure, fill, Gel-X removal, and new set of Gel-X. During my first experience, the (no longer available) technician was attentive, however it got real awkward when a verbal fight broke out between her and the manager. Shouting, clapping-in-faces, cursing, the whole shabang. My second experience wasn't as exciting, however still not good. I asked for a fill and the technician caked on the gel builder like it was nobody's business. I used to do gel builder for years (not Apres gel-X) and know what a good set and fill look like, respectively. This was far from it. Super bulky and thick. I thought she was going to file down the thickness but didn't. I was trusting the process and it failed me here. Mind you, I was going to the person that seemed the most experienced or amongst the top, from other yelp reviews. My third experience was meant to be the final attempt. This time, the manager took care of me because I was a walk-in. Clearly he didn't care about the quality of the Gel-X removal. He place the acetone foils on my fingers and walked away, which fine, I didn't feel like talking either, but when he returned, roughly scraped the softened gel, barely filed my nails, and cashed me out (I guess now is as good a time as ever to mention that the removal price he charged me was more than the price I was given over the phone by a woman..hmm). There were many nails that were uneven due to hard gel product that wasn't attended to. I ended up having to file them (the tops of my nails *and* shaping) down myself afterwards. No, I did not want a manicure after removal and filing is not a "manicure" service. Filing is basic nail health prior to getting into manicure territory of conditioning and treating the nails, then adding polish clear/color. He picked and chose which nails to touch with the nail file, which I found odd. Thankfully I wasn't wearing clothing that could easily snag, if you catch my drift... My third appointment was really out of desperation. I needed a new set FAST and they were the closest salon to me that had availability. I met with __(don't want to get her in trouble)___ and she immediately asked me who removed the gel before because it was done so poorly. I told her it was her manager and that made things a little awkward. She removed the rest of the gel that I didn't file off because I was concerned for damaging my nails and then got started on the new set. She applied gel-nails that were too small, so it misshaped my nails (I learned this from my new nail tech at a different salon). Important to note that it didn't hurt, I probably wouldn't have noticed, but it is important for the technician to handle your nails carefully for risk of longer-term damage. She then applied wayyy too much clear gel bond. It was globbing out the side and well into the tip, past my natural nail. She didn't clean this before curing and I unfortunately realized after the fact. After that, she painted them, again globbing the polish on. The end result was a lumpy and THICK coat. If you looked at the nails head on, they looked bulbous with product and with weird hills and valleys on them. When I got home, I had to file the excess product from the sides and attempt underneath, as best I could. Literal chunks of gel-bonder were flinging off my nails. Not the vibe, not what I want to spend my money on, and moving on. Overall, I really wanted to like this place. I mean, I gave them four chances :\ it's clean though! And they have good massage chairs. read more

I went to this nail salon for the first time as a walk-in. Plenty of free parking in the plaza, which was great. Amy did my nails and she was fantastic. She gave me suggestions about nail shape and color. Gel manicure was $38. The service was quick and great quality. Will come again! read more

Have to leave another review for my sweet man Phil! Not only is he a skilled nail tech that keeps me feeling flawless , but also has an amazing heart. Every time I visit him, it is stress free and comforting experience. He is consistent, patient, and detailed oriented. I have been coming to this location almost a year now and it is always clean, spotless, and the staff is always so kind to me. It's nice and refreshing to receive this type of customer service and not be treated like a number. If you haven't visited Archer Nails please do! They make it easy to schedule and reschedule appointments through their website. Make sure to request Phil ! read more

We scheduled 2 Signature Spa Pedicures and thoroughly enjoyed them. The salon was clean and set up beautifully. We enjoyed the massage chairs, a glass of wine and the full treatment. Got French pedicures. Loved it so much we immediately asked if they could do manicures to match and they did. Very nice staff! Reasonable prices. We will be back! read more

They charged me $85 for a gel builder fill and the person who did my nails Lili was not friendly, did not speak nor understand English. She also cut into my cuticle bed caused bleeding and was very rough. The experience was painful and the gel was too thick and uneven. read more

The people are nice, and the salon is well-organized, but it is not a relaxing environment if you're seeking a peaceful experience. The Hispanic nail technician speaks loudly to other staff across the salon and uses speakerphone when calling her husband, which disrupts the tranquility. Additionally, the nail technician who did my manicure is still learning and, while very lovely, did not do a good job. Although she polished my nails nicely, my cuticles were not properly cared for. Unfortunately, I was unhappy with the overall result. read more

Was quoted 35+ for an acrylic fill (knowI would be paying for gel polish) However, I was charged 67 for a cut down (which I didnt ask for) and "ombre" which I didn't get (as you can see, my tech didn't paint my whole nail, just the tip, which I wouldn't count as a design since I'm getting some polish regardless) The technician was great and did a good job but the owner was very rude on the phone and continued to argue with me that I got ombre. Will not be back read more

I've been going to this nail salon for a long time. However, yesterday was different. Tahina was my technician and she did a very thorough job on my pedicure. She actually took more care than usual and my feet are thankful for that! I also was able to practice my Spanish with her, and that was more fun than I usually have there. Thank you Tahina! read more

I asked her 5 times to fix the line. She said it was straight. This is not straight. I will not be coming back, I'm paying for a service and you're telling me I'm wrong when it very obviously is CROOKED. That's not the kind of service I would ever like to receive nor would I give to a client of mine. Extremely disappointed at how disrespectful she was. Just lost a customer. read more

Worst dip manicure I have ever had. They rushed through the process and misshaped every one my nails. I asked for oval and he shaped them almond then had to try to go back and fix them. I told him to put tips on if he needed to and he said he could shape them, when I was unhappy at the end and mentioned he should have put tips on he said I never told him that. He continued to answer the phone and book appointments all through my manicure while he had 4 people waiting. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND NOR WOULD I EVER RETURN!!!! read more

The staff was very nice very professional and considerate and on top of that. Their service was perfect strongly.

Called, I did not have an appointment, and they had availability, even on a weekend! They have several choices for both manicures and pedicures; I opted for a higher level with more bells and whistles. They have comfortable massage chairs for the pedicure, and my technician was capable and polite. She gave a great foot and leg massage and stretch, and took great care with the details. Impressive. Same with the manicure - great attention and dedication to the job. Is this the most high end nail salon in the area? Of course not. Is it a solid place for nails? Definitely. read more

Poor poor poor customer service !! The most horrifying gel mani ever!!! So the guy with the back brace and the first table to the right do not go to him. He's the worst. I think I need to call the health department because look at my nails. What kind of gel mani is this? Why are my nail beds like this? Then I came in with almond shaped nails and he tried to tell me almonds are 5 extra dollars? How when my nails are already almond. I just left the salon 30 minutes ago with my daughter and even her nails look like shit. Like are they even licensed to do nails I am wondering. Oh my poor clogged cuticles and he put no cuticle oil on them , he also nipped me and cause my nail bed to bleed. If you love doing your nails DO NOT GO HERE!!! I left 0.00 in tips so if you do please don't tip for this kinda work. Look at the photo!! This was today at 3:00 pm. My last 4 gel mani were done by Chole and they were perfect. I'm sorry Chole but I can never come back to your studio as that man was rude and he ruined your perfectly sbaped almond nails. I was tearing while he was was messing up my shape. If he would have been More focused on my nails instead of winking at the man waiting in the pedicure chair read more

Very unprofessional, don't come here save your money ... unless you go to Kristen then she'll do your nails so great! read more

Great place, nice service. Owner always there and very attentive! I will come back! Easy prking

Walked out with a bloody toe and finger! it was the most painful mani/pedi I ever receive. extremely expensive too. The upsell chat happened immediately. First was you want your eyebrows? No I booked for a gel man/pedi. Than a me u was handed to me for the pedi! I only wanted a classic pedi. i felt uncomfortable as I was sitting with my feet in water. My toe was cut badly and had blood on the side. than he filed my finger so hard that blood started flowing immediately. I pulled my hand back but he told me not to. I told him he hurt me. He sprayed alcohol on the cut. He continued to file and I had to tell him again to stop. First I was charge $85 for a gel mani/pedi. After seeing me bleeding he charged me more. Runs the card for a $95 charge. tells me he voided the first. read more

Very upsetting. I got acrylics with a black tip and silver living, very simple. asked for much longer. Can see the white tips showing through, looks very tacky. the silver living is just simply not a line. there is paint on my hands. The acrylic feels uneven. i can feel the sharp edges of the glitter on top. I said the only thing i really care about it the edges are very sharp, they're rounded. whole process just very upsetting. & for 80$??? worst nails i've gotten and these are the most simple i've asked for ever. read more

I booked my appointment with Don and after he soaked off my nails he passed me on to someone else on his team. He wound up taking on a different customer in front of me. He left me sitting in the pedicure chair for 20 minutes while I waited for his other employee to start my nails! Horrible customer service! Their website says nail art is $5. However, when I showed them the design I wanted they said it was $15 for two nails because $5 was too cheap. The design was some lines and gold foil- nothing complicated. I feel like I was taken advantage of. To top off this bad experience, my top coat peeled off within hours of the service and I now have to go back for a repair. While this place is clean, I would not recommend. read more

Went to get waxing and nail fixed and (Tim) had no idea what he was doing. I asked for a curved nail, he kept repeating me and after putting on the tip TWICE he put on the acrylic and left me to go do a pedicure. WHAT??? I had to find him and later the boss has to come finish and Toni had to do the design. Thank goodness they knew what they were doing. Don't go to Tim if u go. Then got a lip wax and I swear I thought they broke my nose. Heavy handed is not the word. Just go to Toni if u go to this salon. Good luck. read more

Honestly, I never write reviews, but I'm frustrated with this place. I went twice. The first time, the nail polish color started to fade within a week. I thought maybe it was something I touched, but I've never had this happen before. The second time was a disaster. They rushed the service, and I had to ask the lady to apply a third coat because the color was off. I ended up with three nails in a square shape and the rest almond-shaped. Additionally, I had to return two days later because once again, the nail polish on my toes was fading. Now, a week later, my gel is peeling off. The materials they used seem to be of poor quality, and their prices are extremely high for the level of service provided. I won't be returning. read more
