Absolutely terrible service at Creative Nail. I had a 5:00 p.m. appointment and still had to wait 20 minutes just to be seated in a pedicure chair. Then while I was sitting there waiting for the service to actually start, another client walked in and said they had a 5:30 appointment. Instead of helping the person who had the earlier appointment and had already been waiting, the technician left me sitting there and started helping the 5:30 client. It's incredibly disrespectful and completely defeats the purpose of making an appointment. If you're going to ignore appointment times and serve people out of order, don't bother scheduling them at all. Total waste of time (40 minutes before I walked out) and very unprofessional. read more

The room is large and spacious. There were plenty of tables for nails and seats for pedicures. I was getting a pedicure without an appointment and got seated immediately. The young man did a really nice job! read more

I've been going to Caitlin for 6 months now and she never disappoints! I'm a hairstylist so I am constantly in water and I have not had a problem with lifting once. She is so sweet and always gives me exactly what I'm wanting. Highly recommend Caitlin!!! read more

Ambiance - 4/5 The place was cute, had many nail polish options, and did not smell like acrylic fumes when I went in. Service -5/5 They got me in as a walk in one hour before closing. I got a basic pedicure for $28 before tip. The guy that gave me a massage was gentle, but got the job done. Price - 4.5/5 For a basic pedicure starting at $28 I said yes because Elegant Nails, that I know for having good acrylic technique, was $40 for the same service. You could definitely find cheaper around $20-25, but go for whatever price range you are comfortable with! Overall A- and would recommend! read more

Nice quality, can set appointments online and the spa has many options! I would recommend!

Did an absolutely amazing job! I have heard amazing things about this place, and never wanted to drive as far away as it was from my apartment, but will be doing that every time now! Best nail salon in the East Lansing/Michigan State area! Came again on January 6th and had another great experience!! read more

I'm a student at MSU and needed somewhere to get acrylics back on. I've had acrylics for I'd say ~3 years of my life, and have went through probably 30 different nail techs. I found this location through Yelp and took the reading of 3 reviews to come try out Tracy. I have never, ever, had a nail tech take so much time and effort to make sure my nails are straight and will last me as long as I need and that I am happy with them. I was the last customer in the salon and felt bad she was staying much later than anybody else! I asked for French tips and coffin shape. She airbrushed my white on and was 2 coats in when there was one other man there who worked there who tried to put a top coat on me and get me going. Tracy said "no"! I got another coat of white, top layer, tipped well, and left. I can confidentially say that no nail tech has ever went so far out of their way to really make sure I am getting 5 star service. Many nail techs I've been to have rushed the process. Especially when they're ready to close (I didn't know that I booked last available time, it was my first time there, I won't be doing this again). Tracy actually took the time to show me that she cared about my nails and that I have to deal with them on my fingers for the next two weeks! Genuinely, best nail tech I have ever seen by a long shot. She is very friendly, takes her time, does high quality work, and doesn't let anybody rush her! I will be returning for all my nail desires whenever I am in East Lansing! As long as this treatment continues you've earned a life long customer! This picture is from today, exactly 2 weeks after my appointment on 7/8. Getting another fill this evening. read more

I do not recommend. The quality of my service was disappointing. As a college student I am tight with money but wanted to treat myself. I paid $60 for shellac polish. Within three weeks all the polish had peeled off. Shellac polish should not peel off that easily, other spas have lasted me months. My service was rushed and not fully completed. Now I am out of $60 and messed up nails. You will be able to find somewhere cheaper for better quality. read more

Nails were HORRIBLE I called to nicely "complain" and was told I could come back to get them fixed while fixing I was told i was asking for too much and was made uncomfortable the whole time. Then was argued and forced to pay for the sub par nails as the fix after paying $56 for the hideous fill the day before. read more

Way behind, didn't get to the chairs until nearly 1 hour after our appointment times. My little sister is 11 years old and was treated very rudely for not sitting perfectly still throughout the manicure. Nails look fine but will not be returning based on the poor service. read more

It was a long wait because I was late to my appointment because of high traffic but you guys need to come here. I had Melissa do my nail shaping and a guy do my ombré. I absolutely loved Melissa. I don't think I've ever went to a nail place who the person doing your nails talks to you. She was great and funny and she paid great attention to detail and cared a lot if my nail was crooked. read more

Ask for Tracy! She's amazing. My last mani lasted nearly a month - only reason for needing a new one was because of growth. This is my second time going and loving this color and just how my nails/cuticles look - she pays such great attention to detail. Plus, a gel mani is only $28 - can't go wrong with that. read more

I loved my experience at this nail salon! Tara did a wonderful job. I asked for a shellac luxe pedicure and received a foot soak in a massaging spa chair. Tara placed a plastic liner inside the bowl to the spa chair. She also opened up a sterilized pouch of pedicure tools fresh from an autoclave. The luxe pedicure consists of trimming and shaping the toe nails, trimming the cuticles and shellac nail paint. Also exfoliating feet with a scrub and a warm washcloth massage. I paid $40 for this. For my manicure, I talked to Tara about the different polishes and decided on a dip powder nail. I was looking for something more durable but didn't need extended nails. The dip powder turned out gorgeous. I paid $35. Tara was very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with and prices are comparable to other nail salons. read more

I have been here a few times and it's now my favorite nail salon in East Lansing. They are really on trend and have chrome, holographic, and matte finishes. It's reasonably priced and the people are very nice. The picture posted is of my last visit. I had an acrylic fill and painted my nails a dark brown with a matte finish. There was some white specs that got caught in the topcoat but they're hardly noticeable and it's the first time they have made a mistake. read more

I unfortunately did not have the best experience here, mainly because I didn't feel like appropriate measures were taken by my nail tech to be safe given the age of COVID. My nail tech wore her mask incorrectly, as it was not covering her nose. I did not see my seat wiped down after the previous client and the arm rests of the chairs were visibly dirty. Luckily, I brought my own face shield so that made me feel a little safer, however I was very uncomfortable sitting in the dirty seat. While my tech was doing my pedicure, she answered the phone and went to the register to do something on the computer, all without changing her gloves, and continued to work on my pedicure with the same gloves. Talk about cross contamination! I made up in my mind at that point that I would not get a manicure by her, and settled with just a pedicure. The good thing was that I was pleased with the quality of my pedicure. I may have had a different experience with the other techs. The rest of the ladies all wore their masks correctly and I saw one lady wash her hands very thoroughly as well. Had I had someone else, I likely would have given a higher rating. read more

Friendly staff and they did a great job! I was a walk in right at opening this morning (Friday 9:30am). They were not busy though business picked up within the hour I was there. The lady that did my nails spoke English well enough to understand her with almost no problem the entire time. She was very friendly and professional! She participated in some nice small-talk with me - mostly started by me (which wasn't a problem at all that she was quiet otherwise!). The salon also was not very strong of fumes (maybe due to being the first customer) which was nice for me as I'm 34 weeks pregnant and was concerned that anywhere I went would smell strongly of fumes. I think my only "cons" are: 1) The polish seemed older (regular polish) as it took an awful long time to dry even under the blower. This caused me to slightly smudge the one while paying, but she quickly attended to it, smoothing out the smudge and adding another clear top coat - now you can't even tell! And 2) The mani/pedi aren't perfect (I'm a perfectionist though), but no one besides me will notice and it was a great price to get both done! read more

Tracy is a wonderful nail technician, great at gel manicures and pedicures as well as waxing services. My favorite nail spa in town.

MADE ME BLEED AND WALKED AWAY. A nail tech made me bleed and then was rude to me. WHAT HAPPENED?! I feel sad. I have been a good and regular customer for a decade! I came in for a single nail repair and a tech clipped so low. that she cut off some skin on my finger tip and there was blood dripping down my finger and onto the table! She didn't say "sorry" didn't even hand me a piece of tissue paper. Just squirted green stuff on it, after I asked for help, and walked away. I called over the owner who helped me clean up, although she made excuses for the tech, she did the repair herself after a 1/2 hour wait. I am a very quiet polite customer, a good tipper and I try to be friendly; but I mentioned to the owner that it is nice to "Say sorry". I understand it can be embarrassing to accidentally hurt someone, but just apologize! The owner fixed the nail for free, which was nice read more

Had an older woman put on a full set for me. They looked great until she painted them. The shape was alright for a coffin shape (not near perfect) but I had to keep asking her to fix the nails so that they looked remotely even because they did not. She got nail polish all over my cuticles and did not even notice. I have only had tips done once before but I know they should not look like how they did! read more

The person who did my nails was friendly but I had an appointment and waited about 20 min. My cuticles started peeling back the day after my manicure. I feel like there is a correlation between my mani and the cuticle issues--but the pedicure was great and no issues there. the atmosphere was calm and clean. They also had coffee and bottle water available. Would return and inquire about my cuticles. read more

Tracy was amazing!! Showed her an inspiration picture knew exactly what I wanted and did just that!

Got lost trying to find the location and even directed me over the phone to get there with no hesitation. read more

Horrible. Waited about 30 mins with an appointment. Nails were chunky and even though I got them pretty short some broke off in a day and a half. Insanely rude staff, like never met ruder people let alone at a business that should be wanting people to return. Not sure their names but the lady with the highlighted hair was the worst of all. Absolutely atrocious attitudes. If I can save even one person from going here I will be happier than I was when leaving my appointment. read more

Love this place! Great customer service and my nails look fantastic. Been here a few times.

Walking into the salon was nice. Its a very beautiful setting and atmosphere. I checked in with the receptionist and was told to pick out a color. I choose two colors with help with one of the pedicure ladies so that i could get an Ombre full set done that i wanted. I was seated with Tracy per request (she has a ton of great reviews) and showed her a picture of the Ombre i wanted done and asked her if she could do it. She said no problem and said she did Ombre all the time (had pink and white on her own nails). So she got to work. Now i dont know much about the process of doing Ombre but when she pulled out an airbrush gun, i got a little confused but still let he do her thing. At the end of my appt when she was doing the 60 second dry for shellac, i noticed a lot of the white airbrush paint all over the outside of my nails. I told her and she attempted to take it off but it would not come off. She then told me to wash my hands to help take it off, which I did and nothing changed. She laughed a little about it and said if it didn't come off in a few days to come back and she'd try something different. Now my nails....how they looked was not what i expected and not in a good way. Definitely was not Ombre and definitely didn't look anything like hers. To say I was not happy given all the great positive reviews she had, I was not impressed. I dont think ill be going back there. read more
