The Best I just had a mani-pedi at Bolsa Nails and I could not be more pleased. I hike a lot so my feet were in need of attention as I had not had a professional pedi in some time. The pedi I received was the best I have ever had and the leg and foot massage were terrific. I don't wear polish on my hands so just had a maintenance mani with nail shine and this too was perfect. The salon is lovely and very clean and everyone there was so nice. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend Bolsa Nails. read more

I stopped in on a Saturday morning for a basic mani/pedi. Was greeted promptly and asked to sit. Everything was great until my service was done, nail dry and I was ready to pay. Nail tech said she was charging an additional $10 for my R foot because she had to use the cheese grater to remove dead skin on the heel part. Not recommending or returning due to this and the color starting to peel off the very next day. Don't see how a basic service cost a surprising $80.00. However there's plenty if parking and salon looked clean. read more

Staffing issues unprofessional last minute cancellation with no apology or discount offered . I will not return.

I felt very uncomfortable when coming in for a pedicure a few months ago. The staff were clearly speaking about me and made me feel small. Although I cannot speak their language, I can read body language and it was clear that I was not welcome read more

Bolsa Salon is where my good friend gets her nails done. I missed my appt with my tech, Julie, at VIP Nails and I decided to go closer to home. She's on vacation as well as my backup tech, Lilly. Michelle did a decent enough job to hold me over until my next appt. The reason I rated this so low is because when I asked the price, Michelle said it was $50. All I received was a dip color, no designs, nothing extra. When I checked out she charged me $62. The $2 was a credit card charge. When I was at her table I saw her write $60 on her receipt book but I didn't realize she was adding $10 extra to my service so I ignored it. She wrote it and slipped it in her draw quickly. When she realized I didn't have cash she told me to bring cash the next time. Then she asked if I had Venmo. I said no. We walk to the register and the total was now $62. I was upset because she assumes I'm so tired I wouldn't remember the price. I should have called her out but I'm never returning. I don't like businesses that cheat their customers. I don't mind paying for services rendered. I always tip and because she was dishonest I only tipped $5 since clearly she desperately needed extra money. I called my friend and she told me she pays $50 for her dip powder. So now that I've confirmed that she robbed me, I'm writing this review. I heard customers speaking during the appointment and they said the owner is in Vietnam or I would have walked back in and complained to her. I'm a middle aged woman who lives a drama free life and I did not want to cause a scene in this establishment over $10. read more

Bolsa Nails - Sub par filed nails with dip power - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New York

Very disappointed. I have tried to like this salon because I live close by and it is convenient. But the last several times, the pedicure has been barely 1/2 hour. This time, I said that I didn't want polish, but more massage if possible. She showed me the menu and I decided to get the upgrade for dryer feet which included a mud mask and a hot stone massage. I assumed she forgot but when I got to the counter, she charged me for the upgrade. I said that I didn't remember the mask and there was definitely no hot stone massage. She said that they don't do the hot stones. I asked why it was on the menu and she said they would need to fix that. Still charged me the higher price. I won't be going back. read more

Walked in with my two daughters for two full sets, and a manicure. Everyone was kind and welcoming, time management skills and consideration is second to none. We chose Bolsa because we were nearby, and they had good reviews, we live about 20 miles away, there are DOZENS of nail salons between here and there, but we will be returning to Bolsa. See Sofia! She is amazing! As a nail tech and a person in general read more

Bolsa Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New York

I don't know why this salon is so highly rated because it's easily one of the worst I've been to. I received a dip manicure, requested medium coffin tips. A majority of my nails were filed unevenly, with the coffin edge coming in way too far. The nails are not even in length or shape in any way. I have also only had them on for a week and so far I have two nails with cracks on both hands. I also paid $70 before tip for these nails that don't look good and did not last a week read more

I came here because of the positive reviews, but was extremely disappointed. The woman who did my mom's dip manicure took TWO ENTIRE HOURS! Not even perfect at the end. The woman who did my gel manicure left 4/10 nails with jagged edges. When I asked her to fix them, she rolled her eyes and laughed. Really sub par service. Nice people, but simply not good at nails :( read more

Leaving Bolsa after my first manicure there I was very impressed and even made a pedicure appointment later that week. They took their time (I was there for over 90 minutes for a powder manicure) but they were very thorough. My hands were soft and my cuticles were FLAWLESS. However, their powder manicure was $50 ($15 more than my usual salon) and they charge to take off previous powder which in my mind is ridiculous. The reason behind the 2 stars. My powder manicure, which usually lasts 4-5 weeks before chipping, chipped within in 5 DAYS. And multiple nails chipped within a week. I have never experienced powder to chip this early especially not on so many nails! Not worth $50 for sure and I will be returning to my old salon. read more

I'm from out of town and was looking for a new salon to do my nails. My experience here was great. The staff was very warm and welcoming. I got a powder dip manicure and the woman did an excellent job. I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars because my appointment took 2 hours, which is way too long for a manicure. Will definitely be back though in the future. read more

Great customer service and great results! I moved to ROC 3 months ago and was long overdue for a manicure and pedicure, so I'm glad I found Bolsa Nails. It will be my local go-to nail salon from now on. The owner (or manager?) Katie was quick to respond to appointment inquiries, and when it came to my nails, Zenna was very diligent with getting my worn feet fresh again and my dull nails precisely shaped and shiny. Clean facilities and extra steps taken to follow COVID safety precautions. read more

Bolsa Nails - Gel manicure (my real nails) - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New York

Trying to find a spot to get my nails done before my vacation and found Bolsa! The pros: The people were very nice and they gave me nice pedicure (I was even interested in their other pedicure services.), my regular pedi lasted my whole trip and after. The cons: My gel nails didn't last the 6 days that I was away, they started to peel on day 4 and I wasn't even doing anything aggressive (I was on vacation). I got a light blue gel nail color (which by the way they had to apply 3-4 coats so that it could look solid and not transparent). I still recommend them but maybe not for gel. At least not the gel color I got. read more

Beautiful, new nail salon in the Brighton Tops plaza on South Clinton Ave. Came for pedicures with my mom and sis on a Saturday afternoon and we were all very satisfied! Our nail techs were pleasant and very thorough. The foot baths were literally the cleanest I've ever seen. Of note, I have a friend who recently came for a manicure, and they did beautiful, subtle floral nail art for her. I'll be back to get a gel manicure soon. read more

This is a lovely salon! The owner Sofia is fabulous and so is her talented staff! The salon is very clean and comforting. The six pedicure chairs are comfortable and provide massages so you and friends can enjoy a day at the spa together ! Great rates. Make an appointment! read more

I walked into Bolsa about a year agafter seeing the reviews on Yelp and was pleasantly surprised to find Katie who I had gone to for years but then lost track of. She now owns this shop and it is beautiful. Katie takes great pride in her work and it shows. After 3 years, she still remembered my favorite polish colors. I'm so happy to have found her again and in her very own shop. All of the staff are friendly and attentive. The shop is spotless and the chairs are super comfortable! Try it out...you won't be disappointed read more

UPDATE: I have to say that the experience last time was a fluke! It is refreshing to see a business owner who truly cares and has been working on providing a better experience. I just went back today and had a wonderful experience and will be going back. The owner really cares about his customers. Today the salon was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Thanks for going above and beyond to make sure your customers are happy! Original review: If you want a no frills salon, this is the place for you. The first time I went here right after they opened the service was great, friendly staff, relaxing vibe, and they even gave me bottled water! Today was completely opposite, I didn't feel welcome and was rushed through the appointment. The nail tech seemed annoyed that I was there. I don't plan on going back because I can get better service for this price elsewhere. I go for pedicures to relax after a long day and definitely don't feel relaxed after this experience. read more

Great experience, good value. Loved the foot and leg massage with the pedicure. Thanks!

Last summer my best friend was getting married and she went to another nail salon and hated her french tips! I called this place having had a good experience in the past and they immediately fit my friend in the next day at any time that was convenient for her. Her nails were not salvageable and my friend did not have enough money to completely redo them so the nail tech told her she would take $20 off the base price for her!! She worked so quickly and in one hour my friend had beautiful french tips for her wedding that was the next day! I've been here many times before and after and have always had great service and loved my nail designs. read more

Really disappointed with this salon. I went in on a Saturday afternoon for a pedicure. When I got there there were 6 technicians sitting around and no other customers. The pedicure bath was basically ice cold and when I asked if she could add some hot water she pretended not to understand. After the first half she then again used cold water to rinse my legs off with. The only redemption was that they did put a steaming hot towel over my legs for a few seconds at one point. My biggest issue was that they didn't use a plastic bag in the little tub that you soak your feet in. That seems very unsanitary and I've never seen a salon that doesn't use the bags. I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

First time I went in I was very impressed! The guy who did both my mani and pedi spent a long time and I tipped really well. 2nd (and last time!), I took my 20 yr old daughter. It took them over an hour to take me - rushed through it and in less than 2 weeks, nails were broken, chipped, etc read more

I scheduled an appointment a little over a week out for 5 people, a bridal party/family. They were very accommodating and easily worked with me to get set for the appointment time I preferred. They called me a few days in advance to confirm we were still coming which was great. They did advise me they would only have 4 people on staff and asked if it was ok to have someone wait which was fine. But turns out the owner came in to help out and he did my pedicure which made it so we all finished about the same time. They offered the group wine and cheese and crackers and they were all super nice. Very nice conversations and just a wonderful experience. I love my nails and my toes look great! I don't live in the area but if I'm ever in the area again and need anything I'll be back in a heartbeat. read more

I was so excited to get my nails done with my mom( i got acrylics while my mom got a gel pedicure) however, leaving Bolsa Nails, I was very disappointed. The place itself was clean and organized, well maintained. The problem was with our nails. I had chosen a design that I showed to lady the who did my nails(the owner) and as soon as I sat down she went to work, I noticed that she was doing everything very quickly. Within a matter of minutes, she had already filed and was putting on the nail tips. When it came to cutting the desired length, I told her that they were uneven and crooked, she said that she would file them and that they would soon be even. - her tone was a bit sarcastic and she seemed annoyed at the fact I asked her to fix them. when it was time to put on the polish I noticed that the tips she had put on were notably, significantly uneven and slanted, I told her a few times, very politely that I wasn't satisfied with the shape and how they looked but I was ignored. ....anyway, I ended up changing my design to something more simple ( same design, just fewer flowers) and would only have flowers on one fingernail, rather than on all, and there was only a 5-dollar decrease! I was shocked and when was going to say something she said it was because she was doing gel on my nails. Usually, nail spas charge 5 dollars per nail for a design and so, that should have reduced my total by a lot! In the end, my nails turned out so so thick to the point where they feel heavy and uneven. My mom had chosen a gel pedicure and was shocked that the nail tech who was doing her didn't know what he was doing. she asked to have her nails shaped, and he didn't understand what she meant so another tech had to swoop in and told my mom " its cause the angle you are looking at your toes, is uneven" that's why she couldn't see a good shape. I MEAN COME ON! what happened to good service and listening to a customer who is paying a lot of money and tipping you? The moral of this review is that I will not be coming back to such poor service. I was highly disappointed given such good reviews and hope. read more

Katie does such a great job making sure that your experience is top shelf! My nails have never looked so good! The salon is so bright and clean! I left a salon on Monroe Avenue that I had gone to for years, but after being sold, the salon started looking dirty and it was never open at 10:00am like it was suppose to be. I started looking on yelp and found Bolsa nails with rave reviews. I am so happy that I came here! read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else but here to get my nails done! I have gotten gel manicure and have loved it every time. The last time I went the gel dip. I was nervous to get gel dip because I haven't ever had a place do it right where it stays the on my nails right. Normally the gel dip pops off my nails and my hair gets stuck under it, I get frustrated and end up ripping them off. At Bolsa the girls really take their time, do a very lovely job and it's worth the price. I have had my gel dip going for four weeks now and they still look amazing. I love Bolsa!! read more

Bolsa Nails - Gel Dip - Nail Salons Near Me - Rochester, New York

I came here with my cousin in hopes relaxing, and it's one thing to tell me the price once, but to continuously tell me how much it will cost honestly did not sit well with me. I wouldn't have came if I didn't have money to do so. Long story short, they were short staffed and we weren't able to get our nails done together. it really rubbed me wrong and I honestly just wanted to leave. The one thing I will say is they did a good job. But I probably won't come back. not going to say I don't recommend because they did a great job, but maybe it was just with me. read more

I had my nails professionally done here last summer and I was very impressed. Fair prices, excellent mani/pedi and the place was EXTREMELY clean. If I still lived in the area, they would be my go to nail place. I highly recommend this place. read more

Great nail salon! Very clean, nail techs do a great job. Gel nails lasted 2+ weeks without chipping. Good prices as well.

Katie has been doing my nails for several years and she is the BEST! She opened her own nail spa now which is Bolsa Nails! Get a quality mani/pedi for a fantastic prices with wonderful hospitality. They completely renovated this location in the Lac de Ville plaza near Tops in Rochester NY. Easy parking. Call to make an appt with the tech you prefer or they take walk-ins. I always get gel mani but they also do acrylic and regular polish also. Brand new pedi chairs and a fresh clean open feeling in this nail spa. Katie and several of the younger girls speak a perfect english so if you can always feel you can get your questions answered. But the other Vietnamese ladies are all really nice and make up for in quality manicure and pedicure what they cannot offer in perfect english. Free wifi is also available so you can get work done and check emails! If needed but try to relax and enjoy :) You deserve it. ‍ read more

Absolutely amazing service... New in the Roc area. I've experienced several nail salon. Quality is usually not a goal for some salons. Bolsa is 5 Star Quality. The warm welcome, offer of water, cleanliness, details and talented techs. My prof is Spa Director for luxury 5 Star Spas so for me to extend this great feedback is warranted. Highly, Highly recommend. read more

In response to the salon owner wondering why I did not give 5 stars. 4 stars means Yay! I'm a fan, which I am of Bolsa Nails, don't get me wrong. But to deserve 5 stars is so much more its rating for 5 stars is WooHoo! as good as it gets! But, to be truthful I've had better service and better nails done in Rochester, NY. so, this is why Bolsa Nails received 4 stars - no one is perfect. read more
