Sparkly Christmas theme

Milly is the absolute best experience you will ever have. I have been getting my nails done by her for over a year now and I will never go back to any other salon. She treats me how she would want to be treated. Amazing, cleanly, and superior service.

Milagros has been my nail tech for over 3 years and the only person I trust with my hands and nails. I would consider myself a "peculiar" customer, and had been to many nail places before I found Milagros. From day one, she was very understanding and made sure I was completely happy with the results. I would say she is not only a talented nail tech with high professional ethics, but she's also a great person and I consider her a friend. I'm always looking forward to getting my nails done, getting creative with colors and designs, and catching up on life. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family. 0

Pedicure

Millie is so knowledgeable and professional. This is my second pedicure with her and both have been excellent. She does a unique wet towel pedicure that I had my doubts about but have left satisfied every time. She cares about the quality of her service and the satisfaction of her customers. She is so kind and attentive. She's the best! You won't be disappointed.

UPDATE: I have never met a nail tech that is as dedicated to cleanliness and safety like Milli is. She even uses a medical grade autoclave to sterilize her tools. For those of you who don't know what an autoclave is, its used to sterilize medical and dental tools, and effectively kills all viruses, bacteria, and fungi. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my nails in general, let alone during a pandemic. She also takes time to do a consultation on what nail modification/enhancement would work best for your lifestyle. She's incredible. I work in healthcare so she recommended that I do hard gel extensions because they hold up better than acrylic or apres to the harsh chemicals I work with. She's incredibly knowledgeable, and talked me through everything she was doing and why, and my nails came out perfect! I have naturally thin/ weak nails and usually manicures or acrylics don't last very long for me, but it's been almost 2 weeks and there's no signs of chipping, cracking, or lifting. I'm amazed! If you're looking for quality, cleanliness, and someone who is caring and dedicated to their craft then look no further.

Choosing an independent nail artist over a "nail salon" was one of the greatest decisions I ever made! At 40 years old, I had been biting my nails my entire life. Nothing I ever tried worked, my hands were in my mouth all day every day, biting my cuticles, picking at my skin, and constantly fighting broken nails. When COVID started, it became more serious for me to keep my hands out of my mouth, and in August of 2021, I decided to get my first full set! I walked into a "nail salon" not knowing anything hoping for their guidance. They didn't explain anything to me, they glued some nails on, gave me a design that wasn't what I asked. I knew immediately I needed better quality and turned to Yelp. Milly immediately responded to my yelp inquiry and has me answer questions about my nail health, past artificial nail use, etc. She wants to make sure that she is giving you a product that works for your lifestyle. Scheduling and communication are a breeze, and the experience of working one on one instead of in a salon that sees so many people a day is so much better. Nails take a long time, so to be able to relax and have a conversation with Milly during that time is a much better experience. The best part, my 40 year long nail-biting problem went away overnight! I have thrown my cuticle nippers away as she is extensive in her cuticle work. I leave the work to the pro!

Very nice and clean environment. Felt very welcomed. She took her time and made sure I liked every piece.

The prices are reasonable 3. The owner/workers are all friendly and work diligently but carefully 4. They have a great color selection Ivan did an incredible job with the pedicure; he was very gentle but thorough and did a clean job with the painting -- no chipping after a couple of days of regular polish! Nathan did a very nice job too with the cat eye polish and he was very quick but careful I can't recommend this place enough. Most salons do the bare minimum, if even that. But Forever Nails is another level of consistency and quality compared to other salons that is good for when you do not have an at-home tech.

I love this nail salon! I live very close to another similar type of nail place, but I will…read morecontinue to go here instead because of their superior customer service and skills. They do a meticulous job no matter which technician ends up doing my nails. I usually just get a regular spa pedi/mani (they also do gel and special powders, plus acrylics) and I am always happy with the results for the price. The place is clean and they take walk-ins, but I have had to come back another day with an appointment since they were booked one time when I walked in. I have always been greeted right away with a friendly attitude, and they give you a small bottle of water when you sit down for your service. I came in without an appointment a week after getting a pedicure there, because I stepped on something at home which caused my toenail polish to chip, and they welcomed me into a chair right away and touched up that toe and a few others that needed it free of charge. I will always come back to Forever Nails!

I called specifically to book a gel manicure with Tara, who is excellent and, in my opinion, the best nail technician there. I was told that Tara did not do gel manicures. However, when I called again on another occasion to try to make a new appointment, I was told that she actually does provide that service. Today, I called again specifically requesting Tara, and once again I was told that she does not do gel manicures and that if I wanted that service, I would need to book with someone else. I completely understand if the nail technician I want is unavailable at the time or on the day I'm requesting. That is not the issue. The problem is receiving conflicting information and feeling like my request for a specific technician is repeatedly being disregarded. This has happened before as well. I once requested a pedicure with Tara and was booked with someone else instead. The receptionist has also been rude, confused appointment times, and then blamed the clients for the confusion. It's extremely frustrating because when you find a nail technician whose work you love, you naturally want to continue booking with that person. Instead of simply being honest about Tara's availability, I have repeatedly been given inconsistent information or booked with someone else. Tara is wonderful and does excellent work. My review is not a reflection of her service at all. Unfortunately, the way appointments are handled at the front desk has made me no longer want to return to this salon

I've never had a problem with my gel peeling or anything! It stays on til it grows off of it's taken off. I always get the deluxe pedicure because the massage is longer for the main reason. And boy is it worth it! A good foot massage with my pedicure makes or breaks my experience and I'll always go back for that. Love this spot!

Ladies & Gents let Me know how you would react, Scenario Nail Salon…read more I made an appointment via phone for 3pm. for a Mani & Pedi. I showed up 5 mins early- a technition directs me there will be a 10 min wait, I remind him that I have a 3pm appointment including my name. 10 mins later he directs me to a seat to sit-- mind you I have noticed there are only 2 techs working in the salon and neither are 10 mins frm finishing there service. I'm no dummy so I say " you want me to sit in water for 15-20 mins while you finish your client when I had an appointment ??!! Yes I did sit in the seat with the cold water, I brought this to his attention before he walked away so he added scalding hot water to warm things up -- grrrr -- I sat for 10 mins took my feet out for a minute because I was uncomfortable due to him not turning the foot machine on -- He walked over and asked if I wanted my feet dried, I said "no , I am just taking them out for a moment" his was response was " you took them out so I wasn't sure" ---grrrrr--- mind you I have not raised my voice but I am being adamant in my words and thoughts. At some point he reminded me that he could refuse service to me & then attempted to act As though he was going to work on me I said " wait you think your going to work on me and do a shitty job?!" This is when he refused me service-- I said " you're going to refuse me service when I made an appointment and have been treated as a walk-in customer". THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER !!!!!! I used only one curse word, never referred to anything in a negative racial manner. Never made a mess and didn't act out of pocket ! Was I wrong ? I am 65 yrs young and refuse to be played or give anyone my hard earned retirement money. It wasn't about my time, it was about business ethics which PIXIE NAIL SALON HAS NONE ! DONT GO TO THIS SALON -DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY -- There are too many nail salons out there. Please answer my question, was I wrong or right ?

I have NEVER written a review before, nonetheless a bad review! after today, I honestly had to…read more I've been coming here for a YEAR and I've always overlooked the little things. Usually it's polish being uneven, sloppy or looking rushed but today was on a completely different level. I'm genuinely shocked that the tech looked at these nails and thought "yep, these are good enough to send her home with" The pictures speak for themselves....The cuticles are scary!!!!!! the shapes are noticeably uneven, BOTH thumbs are completely different and the French tips are inconsistent, patchy and sloppy. The lines aren't even, the polish is uneven and there are literally areas that look unfinished. this cost me $70. SEVENTY. DOLLARS. I'm not someone who expects every nail to be absolutely perfect or speak up about mistakes but there is a massive difference between having minor imperfections and paying $70 for a set that looks rushed and unfinished. What makes this even more frustrating is that I've been a customer here for a YEAR. I've continued coming back despite the smaller issues because I liked the place enough to keep giving it my business. But today genuinely made me question why I'm paying this much for work that I could have gotten done by my little cousin... I'm just in shock $70 for THIS is ridiculous. I left paying full price for nails that I'm embarrassed to show people. If you're charging $70 the quality needs to reflect $70. These absolutely do not.
