Beautifully done acrylic with gel set and hand drawn flowers
Mary T.

Love my manicures and pedicures here, nice clean facility, the artwork on my nails are adorable. Great place to come with a friend for some ME time

Fresh new nails and I'm ready for the world!
Lisa C.

Love their selection of nail polish and Lisa does a great job with nails and pedicure. Lisa is also so fast and does excellent work. If I'm just getting my nails done I'm out in 45 mins. Their pedicure chairs are so comfy and the salon is bright and airy has a very relaxing vibe. They also have plenty of parking and a TV to keep you entertained! I enjoy my time here.

Came in for a walk-in pedicure and it was very relaxing! The lady doing my nails was making sure I was comfortable the whole time and was making sure my nails were perfect.

Lisa's poor polishing job
Priscilla W.

Lisa is pure terrible. I called and asked for the pricing to remove gel nail and she told me it was $8. I went there she took a look at my nails and insisted they were acrylic nails. I am 100% sure what I have were gel nails, and they were a little bit thicker due to the design I had. I ordered gel nail when I had them done. Lisa violently and impatiently pulled out the gel layer with nippers, hurting me. The layer she removed were completely soft and were gels, but she still insisted they were acrylic. She saw it with her own eyes there were no acrylic at all. I know and she should know what acrylic is. She then did a very poor job polishing (see picture), and super impatient. Lisa still insisted they were acrylic nails and charged me $15 for the removal. After a day, my finger tip nail bed areas were still in pain and a bit swollen from the violent removal. Super bad attitude and unprofessional. Can't believe she cannot tell the difference between gel nail and acrylic nail. Seems like fraud.

Look at the sides! And by my cuticles.

This is why you stay true to your hair stylist, your nail gal or whomever. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it into the city to get to my regular girl so I wanted to try something near my house and the gal was able to get my in at 9:45am this morning. The woman was very sweet and the salon is super cute. I had dip on but wanted to just start fresh with new tips so I could do a new color. I was slightly annoyed because I felt like she didn't want to do that for me. You know when you can tell someone doesn't want to do something? She kept repeating how long it takes and everything she has to do. I get it, it's a process but hey that's what I would like vs a fill. After she had me wash my hands I didn't even get a hand massage. That's the best part! Hence why my hands are so dry in those photos You guys, I'm beyond disappointed how this turned out. The clear particle powder is still showing under the clear coat and I'm sure that's because of this particular color. But the shape is not done well at all. They are so bubbly and uneven. I hate to even post a review like this but I saw my nails once I got to my car and just felt like dang! This just looks terrible.

Easy to make apts and decently priced. Great for basic pedicures and brow waxes. My daughter and I especially love coming here together :)

almost coming off
Jade T.

So I decided to give this business another try and walked in to do dip nails for the first time. 7 of my nails top layer cracked & chipped after only 4 days. I did came back to fix it but again, 4 days later which was yesterday, another one came off completely. I don't bother to go fix it again because I don't want to deal with the rude lady there. According to her perspective, she did perfectly fine, I were the crazy one who could not understand the concept of crack. My money was wasted. Definitely not coming back. One star for trying to fix at least..

Shellac French Mani
Catherine P.

I visited Bay Farm Nail Spa for the first time yesterday and received a lovely mani-pedi. The space is clean, airy, and bright. Service is incredibly warm and friendly. The ladies here are so sweet and paid really close attention to detail. Lisa did my perfect Shellac French manicure, it was so natural and flawless! I also received a beautiful, champagne glitter pedicure. This is definitely my new favorite nail spa and I can't wait to return. Pricing is comparable to other, mid-priced nail salons and the quality is excellent. Also, there is plenty of convenient parking. EDT: It's been over 2 weeks and, other than growing out a little, my manicure still looks great.

Rachel B.

I've been coming hear for almost 2 years now. I won't go anywhere else and won't see anyone but Lisa. My nails last 3-4 weeks and stay strong. I would recommend them to anyone. Also their color selection for gel is awesome. I usually do the color change, lots of fun especially on long nails.

I hate my feet and I especially hate taking pictures of them, but this I had to show. Horrible job.

I kind of want to keep this nail salon to myself it's so good I was looking for a new salon in the…read morearea and was able to make a same day appointment with Zoe. She was super detailed and definitely a perfectionist. My nail shape has never looked better. The salon was clean and easy to find. I'll be back for sure!

The owner at this nail spa definitely takes pride in her team's work and quickly reached out to me…read moreto address my previous experience. I accepted the offer of a redo, and they were able to see me quickly. Now that I know what to expect with a Russian mani I was less surprised and able to appreciate the precision and skill needed for this type of service (though will caution anyone who's never gotten one before that it can be a bit uncomfortable; I recommend you look this up before trying it). My nail tech today also did a lovely job with the nail design. She was very skilled and meticulous with her work (grooming, polish and design) so I expect this set will last longer than my last. If you're getting a Russian mani, take note that you can expect it to take nearly 2 hours, so feed the parking meter accordingly. Overall, I am happy with my experience and will be back. :)

I've been coming here for almost a decade, and every visit leaves me feeling refreshed and happy with the results. I couldn't recommend her and her team enough!

I was hesitant to leave this review because I thought the nails looked good in the salon (which…read moremade me overlook how Leann behaved) but when I left and saw how they looked in good light, I was even more upset. My mother-in-law has gone here for years so I thought I would just go back and ask her to fix them but after reading other reviews, it seems Leann no longer enjoys her work. I would prefer to talk with her about it rather than leave a review but after the way I was treated, no thanks. First, I was grateful to get in last minute. I have a bad habit of nail biting and my nails were not in good shape. Still, that doesn't mean I don't know what a quality manicure should be like. She told me on the phone it would be $60 then when I got there she said oh it's $10 extra for French tip. I mentioned French on the phone... Then I wanted round or natural shape and she rudely told me it won't look good because my nail bed is too short. I trusted her because she is the expert but she literally sighed and nearly slammed her hands on the table out of annoyance and said "I'll do it if you want." I took her advice and went with square. Throughout our appointment, basically all she said to me was repeatedly telling me don't bite my nails. Yes, I got it, thanks. She was yelling at her employee throughout and at one point knocked liquid all over my arm and hands from waving her hands around at her. Didn't say sorry or excuse me, nothing. Loved having that liquid burning my hand I did notice that there was a lot of dried stuff all over at the end so I had to ask for lotion because a hand massage is the last thing you'll be getting here. I shouldn't have tipped but did so I spent $84 for a bad attitude, judgment, and a chunky, uneven, bad manicure. Should have just kept my bad nails to begin with. Leann's might have been a nice place at one point in time and it's too bad this is what it's become. My pictures don't even fully show how bad it is. This is no way to treat your customers, especially with the product you are delivering.
