In town for one night only and needed nail repair ASAP. I was able to walk in and get seated quickly. Not the best manicure, but it did the job. Reasonably priced.
Had an excellent experience here today with artist Hannah. A friend made a reservation for 3 pedicures, we were taken promptly at our reservation time (at some salon's they make you wait even with a reservation because they accept too many walk-ins). The salon is clean and well lit, and they use a new foot tub liner for each customer. They have a wide selection of color choices and are very accommodating. I just moved to town and can't wait to come back here for many more appointments! Highly recommend the royal pedicure - includes a 10 minute foot massage and a scrub.
This is the spot where I typically get my nails done in St. Louis. The service and quality of their manicures & pedicures are pretty consistent. The prices are a little high, but they are on par with other nail salons in the city. The owner is always very kind and willing to change a design or fix any errors in your nails. The facilities are clean, and they have an extensive collection of gel, dip, and regular polish shades. My biggest qualm with Central West End Nail and Spa, however, is often it can be a bit hectic on the inside. It seems that each timeslot is double booked and typically you will wait 10 to 15 minutes to receive service, even if you make an appointment and show up on time. The last few times I've been there my nail techs have been bouncing around from me to other customers. You do need a reservation to receive service, but even if you do have a reservation, you still have to do some waiting. Despite this, the nail techs are kind and do a consistently good job.
Very impressionable staff. They greeted me and assisted with different options for the style I wanted instead of forcing me to get something else. Even the other patrons spoke.
UPDATE: got my nails done again by hanna and again 10/10! No wait since i made an appointment. Space is clean and calming as always But just wanted to update price- dip powder on natural nails is now $40 without tip! will still keep coming here
Cute nail salon! I was able to walk in and get a manicure without a wait (though this was on a weekday morning). My nails are super shiny now and they smell really nice from the hand scrub they use. Plus they are now cutely rounded in shape. There's also free Wi-Fi while you wait for your nails to dry!
Order: male Mani (gel & polish) & pedi Pros: they were quick and nice! The kid that was hangim out was also very friendly. I had no issues as a male goin to get my hands and feet done. They were very accommodating and inclusive. Cons: they messed up one of the dots on my nails (boo). I just noticed it. Also the scrub was just okay. I had to go back over my feet once I returned home.
I left a review about this salon before, and the owner tried to clap back saying my nails were "still being worked on" when I took photos. That's so funny! Cute attempt, but wrong. Here's the reality: 1. She ignored the fact that I was literally screamed at in the salon. Blatantly disregarded the horrible experience and tried to victim blame. 2. I was told "you're done" before the tech walked away. YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE EMPTY CHAIR ACROSS FROM ME IN THE PHOTO! She literally left and was done. I sat there, snapped the photos, and left. That wasn't mid-process--that was their idea of a finished product. Just because I sat in the chair after the tech was done and took the picture doesn't mean I was mid process. So to prove my point and as requested, here is another photo at home- not in the chair- Just two days after another visit, my gel polish was already peeling off. Two. Days. I wasn't out building houses or rock climbing--I literally woke up like this. After digging into why this happens, the answer is obvious: they're using old, expired gel. Translation: cheap shortcuts on products while still charging full price. So, let's be clear about what this salon actually offers: Staff who scream at customers instead of treating them with basic respect. Expired, low-quality products that ruin your nails. Prices that suggest you're getting luxury, but results that look like a five-year-old's art project. If you enjoy being disrespected, overcharged, and walking out with nails worse than press-ons from Walgreens, this is your spot. Otherwise, do yourself a favor: avoid this place like the plague.
My wife and I came here for our 10 year wedding anniversary, and man did we have an awesome experience. The ladies who did our mani/pedi's were so nice and professional. My wife got powder dipped nails. She absolutely loves them and has gotten so many compliments. My leg massage eas amzinand the massage chair hit my back up exactly where it needed. Would definitely go back ovover and over again. First impressions are a lasting impression and they definitely left that. You won't regret it!
The people here were friendly. I would recommend for simple manis and pedis, maybe even gel. But I'd recommend going elsewhere beyond that. I made an appointment for two to ensure we could get our manicures next to each other and at the same time, but we were sat away from each other and her nails were started about 15 minutes before mine. So I'd explicitly request if you want to be sat with your friends. My manicure turned out pretty rough. I got dip nails and they added gel to get the design, which turned out thick and uneven. You could also see my real nail on the sides. I ended up removing them the next day at my usual place. Not the worst manicure I've had, but was bummed to pay $60.
I've been coming here for mani/pedis for about 3 years. They have a large selection of polish and everyone provides quality service. They run by appointment so you can easily plan your day. They are timely as well! I have only experienced them running behind schedule twice. My (gel) nails and toes last over a month each time and the prices are great. I love the soft jazz music and large, clean bathrooms for clients. read more

Anna was delightful! She was patient and good at her job. My fingers FELT different after she cleaned up my overgrown cuticles. She took her time (not too long) and was patient when I asked for her to adjust. It was my first time so I intend to go again. There wasn't a wait even though there were many people there. Such a good experience. read more

I have left a previous review as I've been going to CWE Nails for a year now since I moved to STL. Before quarantine, I went about every three weeks. With all the COVID precautions, this place is even better. They expanded the salon to next door to give more social distancing. The ladies are friendly and accommodating. The prices are not ridiculous especially since they are in the CWE - my typical dip manicure is $35. This was my first time getting one in a few months, I've only been getting pedicures while working from home. It's beautiful, in my fave OPI color called Chick Flick Cherry #60 which comes in regular, gel and dip powder. Update: I added a pic of how food the dip still looks after 25 days. Still pristine. Headed to get them redone this weekend. read more

I VERY MUCH enjoyed this place, right in the heart of the CWE! I'm very picky when it comes to nail places. Too often in the city, the vibe is rather..."loud". I like quieter places! This was just that! Miss Hannah took great care of me! I have a VERY particular style-VERY short and oval. Usually, the tech doesn't want to do the length and shape I want and try to convince me otherwise. Hannah did not! I explained to her what I do, and how I can't type when my nails are too long. She actually did them SHORTER than anyone had, and THEEEEEE PERFECT SHAPE!! Lol once she was done she tooted her own horn and said "okay, these are really cute!" Great prices with nothing hidden-just upfront. From what I saw the staff seems pretty great and seem to all get along well! I'm so happy I found this GEM! Highly recommend the place, and Miss Hannah! read more

Nail tech was friendly, fast and my nails are so cute. Took the time to put two top coats so I'm extra shiny. Very well priced! read more

Lee, the owner, is always great, remembered us (even with the mask on), and unfortunately with the pandemic we haven't been out to come back for a pedicure in probably 2 years. We made our appointments ahead of time and he was even able to get us in a little early. Service is friendly, and for the massage portion they set a timer so you know you're getting the full 10 min massage. I also appreciated the strict adherence to mask wearing for both patrons and staff. read more

I have super mixed feelings about this review because when I got my nails done last week, they did a nice job. I got a dip manicure, and they look nice. There are some minor imperfections, but that's just the nature of dip, I think. I'm happy with them, overall. However, I went in a few days later to get a pedicure with my friend, and I was really disappointed. My friend and I both got the deluxe pedicure, and I got mine with gel ($50, plus tip). The lady doing my toes was super sweet and the massage was very nice, but unfortunately the pedicure itself was sloppy. I would have said something while it was happening, but I didn't see it until the end, and I wasn't going to make her redo them all, which is what it would have taken to fix them. The polish is all over my cuticles. I'm really disappointed because I rarely get pedicures because I can do a really good job doing them myself, so it was really disappointing to spend all that money on a pedicure when I could have done a much better job myself. I expected more from a professional salon :/ read more

TL;DR - nail technician hurt my toe so bad, it hasn't healed for almost a month after the injury. I had a pretty good experience at CWE nails while I was actually there. The music was soothing, the massage chair is by far the best salon chair I've sat in to this day, and the service was friendly. However, I must give CWE nails a one star for the issues I've been having with my left big toe since I went on September 3rd. I normally don't even write reviews, but the fact that I've been in this much pain for weeks afterward compelled me to do so. My nail technician was Vivian (also funnily enough my name but I digress). She was sweet and attentive. I told her I had ingrowns that needed tending to, and she was more than happy to help. However, I've never experienced such pain when getting ingrown nails cut down/pulled out. Discomfort, yes. But Vivian took this sharp tool and really dug in there, which I actually appreciated at first! I was like, "Oh, this is thorough, cool." Until it went too far. Vivian dug wayyyy too deep on the left side of my big toe. I felt it, and I repeatedly asked, "Am I bleeding?" to which she just shook her head and repeatedly apologized. I checked to see if there was any blood, but it was too far down in the mail crevice/under the nail to tell if I'd been hurt, so I let her proceed. Ever since, I've experienced recurrent bleeding from where she dug as well as recurring pain. I don't have any pictures from when the left side of my big toe was swollen & red, but I attached a picture of the newest (not first) scab that has formed on that side. It has literally been painful to walk at times or put pressure on my big toe. It's been weeks and honestly, I kind of want my money back for all the care and attention I've had to put into disinfecting and treating it, only being able to wear certain shoes, and experiencing the pain I have. The visit would have been a five star had this not happened. read more

I was in town from Seattle visiting family and had a nail emergency so I came here. Wow! I am in LOVE with these nails. First of all, they were able to accommodate a party of 3 on late notice. Second, their salon is clean and attractive-looking. Third, BEST dip with extension I've ever had. Honestly. They had sooo many colors to choose from! And my nail technician really knew what she was doing with dip. She pulled out all the stops and was always checking in with me to make sure I liked it. I'll be coming back whenever I'm in Saint Louis! 10/10 for good customer service, great communication, and quality of work. read more
