I've been going here for a long time. Lisa is so amazing, and she is so kind. I have had her do fried egg nails on me and they were so good and I absolutely loved them. Also, the vibe is so relaxing and comforting. read more

I've been going only to Lisa at Creative Nails for nails and pedicures for more than 5 years. Excellent quality work, and top service too. She's also flexible in changing dates and times to meet my needs, which I appreciate. read more

I have been going to Lisa for a while now, and she is truly the best! She is fast, efficient, friendly, and gives high quality hard gel that lasts around three weeks on me. I always receive compliments on my nails, and she always does a great job. She is done with me in an 45 minutes or less, depending on what designs I get, which is amazing. I really enjoy the quiet vibe of the salon, since she is the only one working there. The location is ideal for me, there is always parking. read more

Creative Nails - Chrome nails! One of my favs - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

One night, after a great meal at Jasmine Asian Bistro I looked over and saw Creative Nails. I thought to myself...how awesome would that be! A solid restaurant next to a pedicure joint. Talk about three birds with one stone. So last Saturday I called up Creative Nails and made an appointment for my pretty little Missy and I. Yes, I totally get pedicures with my fine ass wifey. We rolled in for the 430 appointment and were greeted by Lisa and Tin. It was awesome that no other patrons were inside. As you enter Creative nails you will immediately notice the extremely high ceiling and beautiful crown molding. This is not your average strip mall nail joint. The inside of Creative Nails is on a whole other level compared to most poorly decorated nail places. Tin and Lisa went to work and I was in pedicure heaven. The Aqua Spa chairs they have are like something I've never experienced. Not only did they go extremely far back for me they also had a booty massage! My feet are brand new again, can't wait to go back for the awesome 30$ pedicure. Thank you Tin and Lisa. read more

Lisa is the best! I've been going here for years and love my nails every time. She is always willing to fix something or change something to my liking and never rushes through her appointment. She's also very affordable for beautiful nails!! 10/10 recommend read more

I will never go there. They have a time to open in Google is 9am. I waited till 9.30am there but they were closed. Then I left a voicemail on their phone. I took my break from work and wasted time there to wait for them. Then I called them at 10.15am again and they keep disconnecting my calls instead of saying sorry. They are so unprofessional . read more

I have been a client of Creative Nails for several years now and I have never known a nail technician as skilled as Lisa is. She is a one woman shop so she stays pretty busy and yet I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for my appt. I used to go there just for pedicures and now I go for manicures & polish as well. She utilizes her time wisely and she is fast because she knows her craft so well. She is very meticulous and always does a beautiful job. She offers a wide range of services and her prices are very fair. It's always so nice to go there since it's just you and her and you're not having to absorb a cacophony of other people's conversations. Go there! You won't be disappointed. Even my husband has enjoyed her pedicures! read more

I've been coming to Lisa for 4 years maybe longer now, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. She always does such a good job on my nails. Her salon is always so clean, and comfortable I wouldn't go to anyone else. read more

My sisters get their nails done here and seem to have good things to say, so I wanted to give it a try after work. I have stopped in 3 different occasion as at different times to do a "walk-in" as they have advertised on the front door... to no avail. Normally, if they seemed busy... well, that's one thing, kudos to them. However, each time I go in... the place is empty and the women are sitting around sipping Starbucks. Each time they tell me that they are booked. I'm not sure what kind of business strategy they have, but it appears as though they are too lazy to take walk-ins. Pros: location Cons: unavailable, poor customer service Overall: Go to Infinity Nails up the street, they will get you in AND do a great job! read more

Service was ok. Didn't greet me or asked me what I needed to get done at first sight. She was attuned to her one customer. I did get my nails done. I like the turn out of it but I didn't like how she filed my nails when she already had put the top coat on. read more

Creative Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My go-to pedicure location. I have been coming here since 2013 when Tru and Tee owned it. Tee used to do my gel nails every two weeks and I would occasionally get a pedicure. They sold it to one of their employees and I have since started going somewhere else for my gels but I still try to make it in every couple months for a pedicure. I have tried a few other places because Creative Nails is so out of the way for me, but I always wish I had just ended up coming back here. I do wish they had a larger color variety but there are still plenty to choose from. I came here Saturday 6/30 and I am not sure what the name was of the woman who worked on me but she was great. Very gentle and her leg massage was awesome. She was so patient when I messed up the big toe TWICE. The first time, I walked outside and the wind blew something right into it. She didn't hesitate to remove the polish and fix it for me. After that first repair, I stood to leave and my sandal hit it just right, once again destroying the polish. She started from fresh on that nail for the third time and never once seemed upset with me. After that I just sat in the chair for 20 minutes so it would dry and I wouldn't mess it up again. I wish I had tipped her more but I didn't realize I would end up being such a pain when I paid. I recommend this place to everyone. Cute, clean, and accommodating. read more

WALK INS ARE DEFINITELY NOT AVAILABLE. I would not recommend this salon to anyone. I have came here x2 times both times I have been turned down quite RUDELY due to the salon not having anyone available ! read more

Someone said pedicure is expensive but I went there with my friend and it was cheaper than other places and they gave me good service I will definitely go back there from now on read more

Went here for the first time since my regular nail tech is still on vacation. I really like how open the space is. Very spacious! Tammy did my nails. I got a fill and color change. She did well in regards to the nail length, but to me, another coat of polish would've helped because you can still kind of see through the polish. The shape on the nails were fine, but the thumbs were curved and not squared off. Tammy was very friendly and I loved talking to her! Another downside though is the salon is right next to a taekwondo place and they were very loud and you can clearly hear them. So if you were there to relax and get a pedi, I can see how that can be annoying. Prices are reasonable and design on two different nails is included in the price. Easy process to call and set up an appointment. read more

I have been a loyal customer for a few years now, coming in every 2 weeks to get a gel fill. Lisa is amazing at what she does and I never leave unhappy. I don't ask for easy designs, but Lisa has pulled off every single one of them, including a polar bear! She hand paints everything which makes her an even more rare gem All of the staff welcomes you and are very sweet. The schedule is very accommodating for those who have insane schedules like me. Highly recommend. read more

Creative Nails - Got some summer nails today and they are absolutely gorgeous Thanks Lisa! - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I came here because my friend who normally does my nails was out of town (and I needed a new set). I had an appointment at 3, and when I walked in the salon it was very nice. It was spacious and they had a good color scheme (very Taupe-fave color!). Their services were on the pricier side ($45 for gel full set), but I realized that their gel technique isn't like most around town. Usually for gel, salons use acrylic to build the nail and then use gel polish. However this salon used IBD gel builder, which is specialized gel (costs more-makes sense). The technicians were very nice, and it took around an hour. I asked for the student discount and they charged me $40 instead of $45. read more

Creative Nails - Gel full set - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Not worth even one star. 3 ladies sitting down not one customer in the salon. I needed a full set. They couldn't even do that......Why because the appointment they were waiting for..... whom was already 10 minutes late! She was still waiting for her. So she decline to give me service. I will never come here again. read more

I came here today not knowing what to expect. I'm very particular about my nails. When I walked in I was greeted by 3 ladies and one was on the phone. Lisa, Tan and Lynn were professional and they all had attention to detail. I am so thankful to find this place the salon is very clean modern and bright. I don't think anybody who came here would think anything less Then this being 5 star! read more

I walked in and the nail tech was sitting with another nail tech relaxing due to not being busy and when I asked for a full set she immediately got up and was very sweet unlike other experiences I had where a nail tech would get annoyed. They have a huge selection of gel colors. Yan, my nail tech shaped my nails so nicely and was so gentle with everything! She was also very patient when I couldn't figure out a color and even gave me several opinions which was helpful. Overall, for the price they ask for does not do them justice! I will be coming back and recommending. read more

This is the place to get your nails done. They are professional, prices are on point, and they strive to get the look you want for your nails. Most other places are shady on their prices, they don't charge extra. read more

Decided to check this place out for my sisters birthday and it was nice. They got us in quickly to sit down immediately in the massage chairs for a pedicure. The technicians were really friendly and my toenails turned out really well. The only complaint I have is that is that it was an extra $20 for gel polish. A little steep in my opinion, but otherwise good service. If you want somewhere that gets you in and out, but does a good job, this is your place. If you wanted to hang out a bit longer, you might feel kind of rushed. read more

I don't like to give bad reviews unless it is deserved. I went to this salon and the young girl who did my nails was no better than a beauty school student. she took a little over an hour to do new gel nails. She had to keep filing the color off and trim the nails down to almost nothing because they were so lumpy and uneven. I tipped her 5 only cause I felt so sorry for her cause it's clear she is not going to do well in this field. Today is only day 3 and the color is chipping off now. Regretting tipping her. I do not recommend this place and I will never go back. I feel so cheated and ripped off now. read more

This is my second time coming here. You can't beat the price and they are willing to do a lot of fun designs. I came in with a triangle design which she executed very well on one hand. There was a plan for an extra design on one nail but she said she did not have time, I would have paid to get the design but oh well. Also one the other had the design was the same but one finger off making it weird but still Cute (I did not ask for this nor was it asked). As well she did not ask how long I wanted my nails, just made them short. Overall I am impressed with my nails but disappointed with the lack of attention to detail. You definitely get what you pay for read more

This place does an amazing job! Have had both pedicures and gel full sets done by them. They are very quick and have been able to accommodate every nail design request that I've come up with. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the owners and other technicians are extremely nice and friendly. The shop is VERY clean and beautifully decorated. Not to mention, the prices are very reasonable as well. read more

Great nail salon! They are very professional and the place is beautiful. My pedicure was great and they didn't rush through it. I will definitely be back! read more

I made an appointment at this nail salon at 4:45, and left work early to get there on time. I sat for a 1/2 an hour, before I was told that there was someone waiting in front of me. What's the point of an appointment if you're going to have to wait an hour and a half? read more

I stopped in last week to get a pedicure. I waited only a few minutes and they did a wonderful job. Today I stopped in again to have a pink and white fill. They don't do acrylic, do liquid gel- I've had it before and love it! Tru did a fabulous job. This is my new nail place. read more

I have been here twice for Shellac. I have gone to Tammy both times. Super sweet, does a great job also. This place is very large and very clean. They have a large array of Shellac Colors and I really like the way they have their other nail polishes displayed in an area that is full of natural light. So many times when I go to other nail salons, where they keep their polishes, you can't see the colors very well. Very reasonable priced. Great location, large parking lot. I am a fan. read more

I have been going to Creative Nails for about a year now. Tru, T and Teresa are my favorite! This place is super friendly, clean, and affordable. I have never had a bad experience here. Happy to say this will be my nail place for a very long time :) read more

Creative Nails - Teresa did an awesome job like always! - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I work close by and asked for a quick appointment within 10 minutes with an hour for lunch. They greeted me very friendly when I arrived and the salon was clean. I waited just five minutes enough time to pick out a color. Tammy was great and listened to how I wanted my nails done applying extra coats to make sure the nail was thicker and hard. The color was transparent so she suggested a top coat of glitter that finished it off perfectly. The only negative was one nail still has a spot of old color that bugs me a little cause I can see it and that's why it's a 4 not a 5. If the color wasn't transparent the new coat would have covered it. She finished before my lunch hour was up which made me very happy. She was gentle and kind. I look forward to going back for a pedi. read more

This is my go-to hard gel shop. Affordable, fast, quality work. I really enjoy the flexibility of just being able to walk-in whenever I feel like getting my nails done, or I can make an appt if I prefer. You're not going to get a fancy spa and cocktail experience here, but if you're looking for quality nails fast and leave being able ro afford a meal too, this is the place! It would be nice if they had more staff trained on hard gels for the few instances when the gel staff are all occupied with other customers. read more

Lisa is the best nail technician in the world!! I've never been dissatisfied here. It's always super clean as well

Great price, and very good at shapes and styles! Not to mention, the building is so beautiful and peaceful to be in. They also don't charge extra for glitter or rhinestones like some do, which makes this my #1 nail salon in Reno. Like I already spoke about in the beginning, they are FANTASTIC at shaping! 10/10 trust the with stilettos, and when I was out of town and needed my nails done, they were also amazed by how good my nails were shaped! read more

I've been getting regular shellac manicures for almost 4 years, and this was by far the worst experience. The technician painfully filed my cuticles while trying to file off my existing polish. She then applied the wrong color (brown vs purple...BIG difference), and acted like I was an inconvenience for not being happy and requesting a different color. To top it off, the top-coat pooled and then cured accordingly on several of my nails. Oh, and I called ahead of time to check prices and was told $25, then charged $35. Thankfully, they adjusted that too. I will not be back, and I would not recommend. read more
