She took her time to carefully remove my old mani, clean my cuticles, and shape my nails using their hard gel overlay. They have a number you can text if you have any questions which is super convenient. And they are very transparent with their pricing. You will be paying more than your typical salon that rushes through everything, but it's so worth it!

This shop does both so well. My gel manis here typically last 3-4 weeks without any damage, which is mindblowing. And the ladies are so courteous.

I am picky about getting my cuticles completely cleaned up and trimmed and Tracey cleaned them up perfectly.

Of course I didn't threaten a…read morestaff member but I did say I would report this to yelp so others would know how they conduct business. This owner is clearly unwell, who would do something like that. Tech did not spend 20-25 minutes. It was a 10 minute service. Even she said as I was checking out that I should just be billed for a polish change. The tech filed 2 nails for 30 seconds. I scheduled and came in for a polish change which they told me would take 10 minutes and it did. owner insisted afterwards that i pay for a mini manicure which i did not receive per the tech who confirmed verbally with the check out clerk. no massage. no filing and buffing. no lotion, no cutting of cuticles. $33 for a polish change seems excessive and greedy. make sure you get pricing up front from them. aesthetics and interior design very low end, looks cheap and sloppily put together. I tipped the tech $10 on venmo because I do not trust the owner to give the tip to the tech. When I asked them to call the owner back to confirm I was being charged for a service I didn't receive, the owner didn't pick up nor text her worker back. After waiting for 10 minutes I just paid so I could leave. Not a good way to run a business.

Let's begin with a confession…read more I am a grown man who gets pedicures. I refer to the process, affectionately, as "sanding my hooves." Now before the men reading this clutch their masculinity like a fragile heirloom, let me explain something. At a certain point in life you must confront the reality that the feet you've been ignoring for decades are attached to the rest of you. And if you live in Colorado, those feet are eventually going to end up in flip flops or sandals. Enter Etoile Salon, where professional technicians transform what can only be described as feral hiking hooves into respectable human feet again. They truly are superb. Gentle, focused, and extremely professional. No rushing, no chaos. Just skilled people quietly performing the miracle of turning your feet back into something you wouldn't be ashamed to parade around town. For the record, I usually go with The Classic Etoile Pedicure. 35 minutes, $50. It's the perfect amount of time for someone to politely and methodically restore order to your feet while you sit there contemplating life choices. There are also plenty of add-ons if you want. Scrubs, treatments, upgrades. The spa equivalent of "would you like fries with that?" Then something unexpected happened. I started adding color. At first it was tentative black. You know...safe. Masculine. The gateway color. Then came money green. A little flash. A little attitude. Fiscally responsible. And most recently...royal purple. If this continues, by summer I fully expect to be sitting in that chair calmly selecting something called "cosmic mermaid chrome." The owner, Nara, is an absolute rock star. She's been in the industry for nearly two decades and that makes you realize the person working on your feet knows far more about taking care of them than you ever will. But credentials aside, what really stands out is how she runs the place. Nara has mastered the rare hospitality skill of making every customer feel like a longtime regular. People walk in and greet her like family, and she somehow manages to keep everything running smoothly while making sure everyone feels welcomed and relaxed. Which makes sense, because the entire vibe of the salon is calm and comfortable, not rushed. A logistical tip: they get slammed early on weekends. My last appointment was 1pm on a Saturday and it was practically serene. Six chairs, three customers, zero chaos. Now here's the part that tells you everything you need to know. I live in Cherry Creek, which has roughly one nail salon per block. I could walk to several of them while holding an Americano and pretending I'm productive. Instead, I drive 15 minutes to Etoile. Because when someone is responsible for maintaining your toenails, you develop loyalty. So gentlemen, if you've been avoiding pedicures because you think it's not your thing, let me offer a perspective. You maintain your car. You service your HVAC. You sharpen your kitchen knives. Why would you ignore the two things that literally take you everywhere? Go get your hooves sanded. And if you're feeling bold, try royal purple. It's surprisingly empowering.

First impression was they would be really good and let's be honest they are, but I don't feel like…read moreI got the full experience of a mani and pedi. My technician skipped steps in the mani and pedi process. I left with hangnails, both nails and toes were not really shaped but you know what I'm going to give them another shot.

Second experience was amazing, different nail tech, fixed the crooked nails from the first visit. Third and last visit, the same tech from my first appointment, had a painful experience with the nail drill and blood drawn, tech twisted my fingers in very uncomfortable positions, tech gave me the wrong color which was $15 more due to it being chrome when i originally asked for periwinkle glitter blue, not chrome metallic blue. The nails were crooked. Tech did not tell me that the chrome was $15 so I didn't know until i went to pay that the color he incorrectly gave me was $15 more. The tech argued with me, and still expected a tip. I paid for the service and walked out without tipping.

I've been seen by just about every nail artist here and they're all amazing, especially Julie. What truly sets this place apart for me is their skill: I have extremely thin skin and stopped getting my nails done for years because I was constantly getting cut by drills at other salons. I've been here 20+ times and have never been cut once. I love that they offer Venmo as a payment option. The only reason this isn't five stars is because it gets unbearably hot inside no matter the season, they definitely love running the heater, and I always leave feeling like I've been at the gym. The prices are high but you're guaranteed to love the quality.

Until there is a change in staff, do not go here. This used to be my favorite nail salon because…read morethey offered very affordable, good-quality acrylics. Recently, I got an acrylic nail set there for a decent price, but the application was horrible. They damaged my nail beds with the binder they used, and I ended up having one of the worst allergic reactions I've ever experienced (which is strange because I get my nails done often). Despite this, he continued working on my nails and insisted that nothing was wrong. Overall, the atmosphere turned sour very quickly. The male technician working on my nails was also LICKING the tip of the Q-tip while applying the gel. On top of that, the gel they used stained my nails GREEN even though it was supposed to be black. When I asked him not to lick the Q-tip while applying the gel, he glared at me and had someone else take over. I eventually had to get my nails removed at another salon because my nail beds were so swollen that I couldn't soak them off at home, and I was terrified to go back. I hope they replace that technician ASAP, and I will be filing a complaint with the health department.
