Pedi
Karen S.

Fit me right in for a pedi on Saturday at noon. Very clean, calm atmosphere. Great job on my pedi so I stayed for a mani. Very reasonable prices as well!

Clay nails has always been my go to in regards to trusting I will get quality and well done polish. I opted for a French manicure with a silver stripe directly below the white tips and a snowflake which was done freehanded. I'm disappointed to say the very next morning my nails started looking yellow. So I called to ask if they could fix and was told to come back in they would fix it in about an hour. When I got there, the woman at the front tried to say I had to go back 2 days later but I kept asking since I made a trip there being told they would fix them. She finally pointed to a gentleman, Sam, to sit at his station and he redid them fairly quick and did a fantastic job I might add. A diff gal did a custom snowflake that turned out very cute (better than the original one I had). While I usually have all positive to say about Clay Nails, my complaint is I paid $38 yesterday yet was told all French nails yellow so I should get dark polish so I essentially paid $10 extra for the French which I don't now have. I don't mind paying extra for the French polish but not when I didn't get that since it was yellowing. I did not have my hands in cleaners to affect it. So not sure what caused it. The gal that did the snowflakes did a good job as well being detailed. The place is well Lit and clean. The staff is friendly too. I would definitely recommend them.

Every nail had a spot she missed.

Not a good experience at Clay Nails. It's like a nail factory. The polish choices are half empty bottles of old looking polish. Not very clean and a horrible waiting area. It was crowded and I waited about 15 mins, I didn't mind the wait. My girl didn't say one word to me other than what was absolutely necessary. I had a pedicure and a manicure. My manicure looks horrible. I posted a picture. I think she needs glasses. I had to take the polish off when I returned home.

French gels on fingers and pink polish on toes. ..pretty good job

Good place to get nails done. The massage chairs are comfortable, if a bit old. However it appears they are redoing the interior and making it more modern. I like their wide selection of pretty polish choices. It is very close to me so that is a primary driver. Given the shortness of my nails I am satisfied with my current French. I made an appointment the week before spring break and they got me right in. They do somewhat rush through the massage part... $62 for gels on my fingers and polish on my toes.

Clay Nails is by far the best nail salon in Carmel. Hard to believe the negative reviews as I've been coming here for over 15 years and the owners (Tommy & Nini) take such pride in their salon and customer satisfaction.

Clean, fast, meticulous. A gel manicure was $35, and I'm satisfied with the final result. Thanks Kevin!

This was my very first time visiting a nail salon in the U.S., and I'm honestly so impressed!…read more I had my manicure done by Alex, and he did an amazing job. The manicure was very clean and precise, and the nail polish application was absolutely perfect. You can really tell he pays attention to every detail. The salon itself was very clean and comfortable, and I truly enjoyed my time there. It felt relaxing and professional at the same time. I'm very happy with the result and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I LOVED zen nails back in the day so decided to go back to them even though it's 20+ minutes away…read morefrom me once I decided to start recommitting to nails again. it's been a frustrating process thus far. I'd like to preface this with *all employees are super friendly!!!* but this is not a place I will be returning to ever again. I scheduled the following: - Saturday 2/6/26 - full tap gel x set on at 1:30 with Kate. - Friday 2/20 - replacement right thumb with Alex (free of charge!) - Wednesday 2/26 - further replacement for left pointer nail. I decided to say to heck with it and just get everything redone. $60+ later, I get home Wednesday evening and noticed my left thumb was already cracked. -Saturday 2/28 - went back at 6:15pm to repair( they close at 7 according to online and their door signs) doors were locked. - Saturday 3/7 - (they're closed sundays and I work during the week), I called to get my thumb nail repaired from my 2/26 visit. I wanted to call first to make sure someone would be available and avoid last weeks' situation. No answer. Called 3x periodically. Keep in mind, I am not doing any hard labor etc. the tap gel x is supposed to last several weeks so it's frustrating that I've had to go back 4x in a single month with the amount of $ spent. Thinking it was a fluke, I wanted to give them another shot but I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Just had my nails done Monday so we shall see how they do since it's only been 4 days since and this was my first visit. . My thumb nail chipped and was peeling a day after they were done, but Hannah was quick to get me into fix it the next day. She shaped them nicely and uses a suction box to pull the dust from removing old color while sanding it off. She's gentle and gave me a nice hand massage at the end. My nails look so nice!

Since moving from Chicago, I have been struggling to find a reliable and worthwhile nail spot. I…read morehave tried several locations and can't seem to find somewhere I want to keep returning to. After doing some digging here on Yelp, I found Hanna! She has a room inside of an office building in Carmel and works independently. I called her to schedule my appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and she was ready for me with hot water in the basin. I only did a pedicure and was pleased with how gentle and thorough she was. She did a foot scrub and massage for a long time. It was lovely! I didn't have her put on any nail polish today because my toes look so nice without it. On top of the service being such a great experience, Hanna is so kind! She is talkative and friendly and an open book... I really enjoyed listening to her stories about her two sons and learned so much about her. I have a vacation coming up and I have a feeling I will be calling Hanna to get me in for a manicure before I jet off!

It's not just the guarantee that my nails…read morewill be on point every time, it's also the stellar customer service and personal attention that I receive. Anthony remembers me every time and knows exactly what I like to drink when I get my nails done. He knows exactly what type of polishes I love and my color pallette, and gets me set up with choices as soon as I walk in. Then he's off to make my tea, and then sets up my guy, Tommy, with my choices of polish. Tommy does such a fantastic, detail oriented job on my nails. Like Anthony, he remembers everything about me and I really enjoy chatting with him while he works. The attention to my comfort and entire experience is stellar. Paired with the beautiful nails, every time, that garner so many compliments, I don't want to work with anyone but Tommy and Anthony.

They have a huge collection of nail polish colors, but I'm pretty classic when it comes to my nail colors, so I chose a deep, bright red. Tara H. was my nail pro, and she did a wonderful job! She was efficient and gentle, and the whole pedicure felt so wonderful that I could feel myself falling asleep in the chair. She didn't speak English, and this was perfect for me. I do not like chatting during pedicures. (Let's be honest: I don't like chatting even when I'm not getting a pedicure.) The chair I was sitting in was relaxing, and it had massage features and a heater, but I didn't use any of that. Tara put a nice weighted neck wrap on me before she began the pedicure. When you arrive, they offer you a beverage. I chose water, but I noticed that they have tea, and I think I'll choose that next time. The name Offline Nail The Corner is a little clunky, but the place is spotless and exceptionally clean, the people are friendly, and there is lots of parking in the parking garage.
