I think they're really great at what they do, especially with hard gel. I also felt very listened to WRT length & shape. I do always make a res in advance because I think they can be slower if you're a walk-in.

Gel mani - color 19
Wendolin G.

One of the best mani pedis I have gotten! The facilities are clean and comfy. Chairs are new and give you a massage. The pedicure was started by another technician but taken over by Maggie who is such a sweetheart! She made sure the hot towel wasn't too hot and gave an awesome leg massage. Afterwards she recommended the gel polish since it would last longer and it came out beautifully. It's been a week and has not chipped. Another plus was that this was a walk-in during graduation weekend and they had no issues squeezing us in. Will be going again! Things to know: tips are cash only, students get a discount but only if you have your ID on you

The gaping. wound that will not stop bleeding.

I had the worst pedicure of my life, in fact, it was so bad, and I'm not sure if I'll ever even have a pedicure again! It was not only traumatic, but after less than 12 hours, 2 of the nails that were painted no longer even have polish on them! But, the first problem was that I asked the young man to go VERY lightly with the cheesegrater- type device. Not only did he treat my foot like it was a chunk of very hard and old Parmesan cheese, but he used it on the upper back of my heel (I've never seen calluses in this area of the foot), and sliced out a quarter-sized area about 1cm deep. I am heading on vacation the next day for some sand and beach, and now have a very painful huge gaping wound on my heel. Additionally, becaus it wouldn't stop bleeding, the other nearby technician assisted to try and stop the bleeding. Despite her gloved hands, she proceeded to return to her client before washing her hands...unsanitary and very disgusting. I have been coming to this salon almost since they opened. I hesitated to leave a review because normally I have had good experiences. However, this one was horrific, and I wanted to share for others to be forewarned. The only upside is that it was on the house ("free"), however, I ended up spending more than the cost of the pedicure on bandages and ointments to both ease the pain, and cover my gaping wound to prevent infection on my remote and rugged trip.

Nails

I've been going here for about a year and half to get my nails done and I've always had an extremely positive experience. Sammi always does an incredible job on my nails and I'm always so thrilled with how they turn out! The salon is clean and usually pretty calm and quiet, I feel like I can relax while getting my nails done and truly spend some time on myself!

Ouch.

I've been here several times. Pedicures are usually pretty great, other than when they leave your massage timer running to get supplies for your other foot. If I pay extra for the massage, I really do want my full time. This low rating comes from a recent visit for a manicure. I called and told them I needed to have them remove uv gel (they had put it on at the downtown location because this one was booked) and I then wanted a regular gel manicure. I repeated that when I arrived. After my pedicure they made me wait for someone because they thought I was getting a fill done? Then I get someone and they work for almost 30 minutes to remove the gel because they thought it was regular gel despite my repeatedly telling them it was uv. They used the dremel over and over until my nails were paper thin and bending (insert vomit sound). I paid extra for a certain gel polish too and then realized they charged me $13 for the uv gel removal! Since then my nails have cracked down the middle. They are breaking off, to the point where they are bleeding. I can't clap my hands, scratch my head, or anything because my fingers hurt and bleed. I keep trying to cut the fragments to help while they grow. I will never go there again.

Crooked nail
Cindy A.

I am here on vacation and decided to get my nails done with my family. I came for dip nails and a pedicure. At home this would have cost me around 55.00. Here it was 75.00. That didn't bother me. What bothered me was the man who did my nails. He was trying to get me to do some sort of gel instead of dip. I couldn't understand him, he just kept pointing to a jar on his table. When I didn't want it, he became what I took as angry. I believe he took it out on my fingers, see my pictures. It was the fastest pedicure and dip nails I have ever had. My big toenails are crooked and my cuticles are all cut up. Pretty sure this will be my last visit to this establishment

This is the design that I walked in with and wanted the tip color changed to black.

In the spirit of shopping local, I tried Cayuga Nails. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy (truly just that one colleague who pings the work Slack at 7am on a Sunday). I went in wanting a simple French manicure with a black tip and provided a picture example. Everything was going swimmingly; the nail technician confirmed with me that the design matched my expectations after finishing one nail (for that I'll give one star). Otherwise, at the end of my appointment I looked at my nails and they're horribly uneven, disastrously filed (I wanted a squoval shape), and the design doesn't look remotely close to what I wanted. The ends of my nails are uneven, where polish caked on and dried. If it wasn't for the fact that the nails are chipping and cracked after one week of wearing, then I wouldn't have written this review. tl;dr $45 for a basic gel manicure that looks like something I painted with my nondominant hand and is cracking/ chipping after one week. TJ Nails in Cortland will forever be my preferred "local" spot.

An ok job

I hadn't been there in a while. It was so-so. My nails are not the easiest to do, but it was not the neatest pedicure- a bit gloppy with some polish on my cuticles. The people were nice.

When I went, John was very diligent, brought me two cups of lemon tea, and did a fabulous job with my full & pedicure.
