Everything went well! Very kind people and did an exceptional job at both manicure and pedicure. Great environment

A friend recommended this place as I wanted a place in the area to get new set of nails but now I have to tell her to not ever recommend them as I had s horrible service there. I showed two pics of what I wanted and was given the prices. After nails done the pics I showed for ombre nails that I was told would be $55 now it's $70. The nails didn't even look that great but then to get a switch and bait price and then the guy who told me the prices got very loud and rude while I kept an even tone the entire time.... I'll not recommend this place and the number of stars given already for this place supports others who didn't have good experiences either. I should have checked the reviews before going here. Be warned. read more

Minimal wait time at lunch for a classic pedicure. I was greeted, instructed to a chair immediately, nice massage chairs and a leg holder so I didn't have to hold my leg up! Prices are average, but nice service and environment. read more

No better no worse than any other nail salon however, 35% more! Everybody was very nice, but their prices are just too high. Just be aware read more

I had made an appointment in advance, and it had been confirmed. I arrived 10 minutes early and was greeted by the staff. They took me to the chair, asked me what I needed, and then left me there. After waiting for thirty minutes, one of the staff members told me that someone would be with me soon. However, I ended up waiting for an additional ten minutes, and then I decided to leave. This was frustrating because I had planned to be there for just one hour during my lunch break from work. If they had let me know earlier that they were unable to provide the service, I would have rescheduled. I'm not angry, but I won't be returning to this place. Time is valuable, especially during my lunch break when I have limited availability. read more

Tony, Kim, and all staff are amazing!! My grandma and I come in often and they are always kind and do a great job! They know us by name and are the best!! read more

Ballas Nails & Spa - dip nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I got dip nails, done by Kim & I'm very pleased with the results. Price was average, but I would go back.

Pedicure was fast and looks fine, just surprised they charged full price for my 4 year old. Usually the kids are half price, guess I didn't expect a 30 dollar charge for some lotion and a ten minute paint job. read more

A little slice of heaven. I've never been here before but popped in while my car was being serviced up the road. It was pretty empty first thing in the morning and I was greeted kindly and had good service. The most important thing was that I felt comfortable to just sit for a while and relax and no one made me feel rushed. read more

My mani and pedi were done with perfection. Very clean and friendly environment. I HIGHLY recommend this establishment!!! read more

Eh. Dip nails look great. Even, color is great, no complaints. The pedicure is a different story. 6 days later and I already see 3 toes with chips on the end. I can usually last 3-4 weeks on a regular pedi. The lady doing my feet had her toddler running around the salon, rolling all over the floor, pulling supplies out everywhere, grabbing on her the whole time. The salon was dirty and has seen better days. My pedi is not great. There was no wait, but maybe I see why. Every other salon in Creve Coeur has a wait. The man that checked me out ran the wrong amount on my card, ran out the door to tell me, he said he would run for the difference, but 6 days later, no charge. Hmmm. This place was dirty, unprofessional, and the pedi is not lasting. read more

They've nailed the perfect manicure and pedicure. I have been a customer of Ballas Nail Spa regularly for years. They always consistently do the best job. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I have been a customer of Lenas she is super friendly and always does an excellent job. Kim and Amy are also staples at Ballas Nails they also do an excellent job too. Ballas nails always keeps up with the new trends. When "gel" was the new thing they had gel and in every color imaginable and now that the "powder dip" is the new trendy manicure they have every color you could ever want and they are masters at their craft. They utilize top of the line products and I've always left satisfied. They also do your cuticles. Other nail salons I've gone to charge to cut your cuticles, not at Ballas, it's the whole package. On the rare occasions I've broken a nail and gone in for a repair they have fixed it with no question ever if it's been a week since I was in. They really are the most honest and hard working nail spa I've been to. They stand behind their work. In the attached picture you will see a powder dip manicure with the OPI color "funny bunny" read more

Their website describes exceptional treatments, in reality they are not. I asked for the Lavender pedicure & luxury manicure, but were nothing more than basic ones I normally receive in my hometown.The clippers were not sharp enough to cut my nails, nails are uneven,the work was sloppy & incomplete, I have cuticles hanging. Did I leave a tip? Yes, but less than 10%. $77 wasted. read more

Would not recommend this place! Appointment times mean nothing here! You will most likely not have the person you requested for your appointment and the prices are too high for the quality..the tip of my nail broke the very next day not even 24hours later smh. The people that are leaving good reviews must be getting paid to do so! Save yourself time, money and a headache read more

It was a very relaxing process. They did a good job but there are a few things to note. This is not a short process. They do take their time, so that is good but bad if you have some where to go. Some people hate it when the person doing your nails are talking in a different language to other co-workers. I don't mind because then I can read and don't have to have a conversation in my chill out time. I got the better pedicure, the regular manicure, and an eyebrow wax for $52. That is a great price! With the regular manicure they rub your shoulders and put your slathered with cream hands in gloves and then in heating pad mittens. It was a nice experience if you need to get it done and don't mind it isn't perfection. read more

Usually not too long of a wait. I had a hard time picking out my gel color but the man servicing me was very patient; he brought the colors to me again and tested a few different ones for me. Even after I chose and he was in the middle of the first coat I changed my mind and he didn't mind at all. I got a good quality gel manicure with friendly service. However I wanted to get eyelash extensions but they were extremely overpriced. read more

I see that Ballas Nails have changed hours and prices, yet I waited 15 minutes in parking lot for them to open and no one ever opened so I went somewhere else. I think the manicurists could be a little more understanding about speaking in Chinese to customers wearing masks and cant hear with glass up or possibly be hard of hearing. Geez read more

First time here. My sister and I took our elderly mother for a mani/pedi. We also got a pedi. The ladies working there were so incredibly kind and gentle with my mother. They made the experience special for her which made it special for us. And the mani and pedi was top notch. read more

I loved this place, they are great, and fast! Good quality and price! And they are organized and detail oriented. read more

I like going here and use Helen She does a great job. Close to where I live. I get gel or powder on my nails

This is my new nail salon. Showed up at the time of my appointment and was seated within 5 minutes. Everyone was nice and very professional. Received a mani and pedi the service was amazing. I will be returning read more

The manager accused me of taking the nail polish that I had actually brought with me. I couldn't convince her otherwise. The nail technician that waited on me did a great pedicure. But I will NOT be returning. read more

The owner didn't acknowledge or greet me, when I walked in. The Chinese lady who did my nails was hard of hearing, and didn't seem to know how to do acrylic nails properly. I'm not happy with how my nails turned out. read more

I really wanted this place to be awesome. Mediocre at best. I opted for a shellac manicure...more pricey but I was more than dissappointed. You can see through the color on all of my nails. The tech cut 2 of my fingers, there is still polish on my cuticles and my fingers, the manicure truly looks like something I could have done at home while having some wine.... 35$ is WAY crazy for such a poor performance read more

This is by far the worst nail salon I've ever been to. The price is outrageous for the service and quality you receive. The pedicure chair I was seated in was broken and the massage thing didn't work very well. I upgraded the pedicure and didn't even get that. She didn't ask if I wanted my toe nails cut down she just did it and then didn't even scrap the bottom of my feet. I should've known just to stop there but went ahead and got a mani and let me tell you a child could do better than the paint job that I received. She didn't clean up the edges. She then disappeared for 20 mins while I sat there with cotton pieces left on my fingers, the edges of my nails rough and lotion left under my finger nails. When I asked her to fix them because I had nail polish all over my fingers she had an attitude while she attempted to clean the up. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

I stop in this salon once in awhile for convenience because its near my place of work. The quality of the work here is hit or miss. My most recent visit was a miss. The service took twice as long as it should have. I was having a french gel manicure that should have taken 45 minutes max. I didnt have an existing gel manicure to remove which can be time consuming so I should have been able to be in and out during my lunch hour. Not only was this poor girl slow, she was rough, leaving a cut on one of my fingers, botched cuticles and the manicure itself didn't look so great. On balance the people here are very nice and do make an effort to get me in and out quickly, but they tend to be slow and not as skilled as some nail technicians I have encountered at other places. I would come back here but only if I wasnt on a tight schedule and had an hour and a half to two hours to spend. read more

GO SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT! I wanted cute heart nails and when I asked for them they said it would be $80 and charged me $20 for a "special nail shape" which was a stiletto. She also said I couldn't have the green nail polish color so I just picked blue. She said if we didn't wanna pay anything extra they have to be short and square which was super weird and controlling but I said ok, because they couldn't be that bad. When I first sat down the woman who was supposed to do my nails barely even started all she did was remove the chips of acrylics I had on before this. She got up and attended to someone one else came back and walked away again I sat there for roughly 20 minutes waiting for her to come back when a man came in and told me to move chairs, I asked him if I could have oval instead of square and he said yes, while doing my nails he was extremely rough and the nails are extremely sore because he was careless, my pinky nails weren't even one nail was long and the other was barely bigger than my real nail (which I cut very short) after this I thought he was just even it out and didn't pay any mind, I asked him if I could see my blue color on a piece of paper because I didn't originally want the color and wanted to make sure it was the right color and not a dark color, instead he just put it on my nail and asked me if I liked the color after it was already on. The nails were blocking and too thick, and uneven. Extremely ugly when I asked for a refund they said no and said I can come back in and get it fixed, but they already did a terrible job. I have to go somewhere different to get them fixed please save your money. read more

I've been here a couple times, and keep coming back because of their amazing work. Usually I get a full set with gel and it last forever. However the most recent time I went, After less than a week 2 nails broke and the gel starting chipping. They replaced the 2 nails, no problem, but then two days after that another one broke off. I was not doing anything crazy to cause these to break/chip. I think we price was higher this most recent time too. Highly debating upon giving them another chance. read more

I was visiting from out of town and stopped in for a pedicure. The lady whizzed through everything like crazy! 15 minutes and the whole thing was done....yes, I said FIFTEEN minutes. I went in with lowered expectations based on the reviews, but it didn't even make that. If you want a nice relaxing pedicure where they do more than just paint your nails, then go somewhere else. read more

Older woman did my nails. Was very rough with grinder tool. Kept cutting my skin near the cuticles. Was very rough with buffing, hurt my fingers and had to tell her to stop. Put the wrong setting solution on my powder dipped nails twice. When I told them the last coat washed off with the hand soap, another lady took my hand and forcefully dragged me towards middle of the salon. Then added the top coat and let sit in LED light. Still made me pay for the job. My daughter knows Vietnam language and heard them say I was a difficult customer! Went home and nails are still sticky. read more
