Tru did a great job on my nails. Very detailed, gorgeous work. It has taken me forever to find a salon that does consistently high quality work so I am really excited to have found a great place! read more

Creative Nails - Amazing! - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The quality of my gel manicure was flawless! The only my issue with the manicure was that they were a out 20mins from closing and didn't put any lotion on my hands or massage them like most places do. So I left with dry hands. I figured it was because they were rushing. When it came to the pedicure, that too was rushed and the nail polish chipped within a couple hours despite me being careful not to nick them. The pumicing of the feet was very weak which was unfortunately since I have very dry feet. They didn't massage my feet or put lotion on them either. I've gotten a fairly good pedicure from them in the past but it still wasn't the best. This experience made me decide to not give them a third chance. read more

Lisa does an amazing job with my nails every time. She does the designs just as I ask for. It's great to get compliments on every set I get. read more

See all

I was traveling for business and staying nearby. Extremely happy with my pedicure and nail fill. Very reasonably priced. If I lived here I would be a regular customer. read more

I got a french pedicure here and it was just okay. I normally just do one full color for my pedicures, but saw a lady with french pedicured toes and thought it looked so nice on her so I wanted to give it a go. The lady that did mine may have been new or something, but the lines aren't very "clean". The massage and scrub was nice though and they had a nice massaging chair to lounge in. I would probably go back here if I wanted to do a solid color. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Creative Nails is!! First, the shop is lovely and so clean. Lisa gives a perfect pedicure!! Every step is so professional and soothing. My pedicures last for a month or more, but I make a monthly appointment that I really look forward to. And the price is the least expensive of other nail salons in Reno, for a much higher quality experience. I highly recommend Lisa and Creative Nails!! read more

Relaxing, beautiful salon!! The ladies were so nice and accommodating. The massage was amazing with the pedicure!! Thank you ladies

Great pedicure. Clean, open, wonderful massage chairs, friendly staff. $30 for a pedi with a great smelling scrub too. I will definitely make this my go to nail salon. read more

Lisa did my first ever gel manicure and I think it looks great. As far as the design, she told me what would work and what wouldn't. I was a walk-in, no wait. read more

Creative Nails - By Lisa :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I have been going to creative nails for over 3 years. They give an amazing student discount for college/high school kids and the ladies who work there are always so sweet. The quality of work can vary between who does your nails- I highly recommend Tami, as she is very detail oriented and will make sure she is doing exactly what you asked for. They are always open to doing any design you show them from apps like Pinterest, but will be 100% honest if they think they can't pull it off (which in my opinion is nice because I'd rather them be honest than have my nails look bad). They are also amazing at pedicures, massage, hot towel, and all that (again, I highly recommend Tami). read more

I haven't had my nails done in over a year after moving here from New Jersey. I decided on a whim to get them done and picked this salon based off reviews and price. Sadly no one in Reno does dip or SNS nails so I opted for a Gelish fullset . I walked in and the ladies were nice and I was seated immediately. I don't know the young girls name who did my nails but she was pleasant but not very talkative like most nail technicians. I got a grey color. She was very attentive with shaping and length. She didn't rush but did do them very quickly . Even when I bumped the nail dryer she fixed what I messed up with no problems. I do like my nails but like I said after living in Jersey you get pampered with hand massages. There was no hand massage which I was disappointed about but you can't always get what you want or used to. I will return again unless I find someone to do dip nails. All and all was a good experience just a very quite salon. read more

Creative Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Reno, Nevada

So as I was reading the previous review, I had to chuckle. How is smudging your toes THEIR fault. Hahaha. That's your clumsiness not theirs. Anywho, onto my review. I LOVE this place. Always easy for me to get in. Love how clean everything is. Pretty decor but very simple. Simple is good. Nail techs are very friendly and good at their jobs. As a previous frequent customer over at soak, I'll never go back after coming here so many times. They are wonderful! read more

It's $30 for a spa pedicure (including callus removal) or $40 for both mani and pedi - worth it! Fantastic quality and they really take their time. And when you make an appointment, they stick to it. read more

Great Place. Tammy does my nails and they are always great. She understands what I want. Lisa, the owner is kind and sweet. My boyfriend goes to and he is happy with the treatment he gets. Price is reasonable. I would recommend it to anyone read more

After a crazy run in with my dog and his leash, I had broken a nail on the drive up to Reno for a wedding. I quickly had to find a place to get it repaired, so I hopped on yelp and found this place. The staff was very kind and attentive which I really appreciate. I also appreciate that the prices were not sky high and they were very reasonable! I had Tammy as my nail tech, and she was sooo kind and sweet. She took her time and did an excellent job. After my nails were done, she knew that I had to wait for my boyfriend to come and pick me up so she told me to make myself at home and sit in one of the awesome massage chairs until he arrived. Such a great and friendly environment. I will definitely be back if I'm ever in the Reno area again. THANKS TAMMY read more

As always, my gel manicure is perfect and exactly what i wanted! This is my favorite nail salon in South Reno. Sent my aunt here a few weeks ago when she came to visit and she was very impressed with the service and the quality of the manicure and pedicure! read more

I came in here with mom while she was visiting a couple of months ago. I had a newbie do my pedicure and she took her cues from the woman who did my mom's pedicure. My mom and I both walked away feeling that we didn't get a good scrub on our feet, like we have experienced elsewhere. When we walked in, the owner was a little rude, but we got over it and just wanted to have a nice mother/daughter day. The paint job was great! I just wish we got a better scrub on our feet... read more

Ive been coming here for over two years now, and i will be looking for a new nail place. The old owner and workers did an amazing job, but no so much the new ones. They do an okay job with nails for cheap. However they are always running behind schedule and never stick to the appointments they previously make. Every time i have made an appointment, i have to wait behind a walk-in for half an hour to an hour. When i point this out the manager comes off as rude and unapologetic with her answers. read more

I've been to many nail salons, and creative nails is by far the best. The manicures are exceedingly reasonably priced, and fast! Highly recommend!! read more

I have been going to T and Tru for years and they are both amazing!! The best gel mani and pedi in town, hands down. Their staff is always professional and helpful as well. Give T a picture of what you want, and she exceeds that! read more

Unfortunately my nails all are to long except the one I showed her how long I want them all. My nails are to thick, I Questioned this and she told me that's how they needed to be since they were going to be long. I will never go back to the same lady she does not like doing nails and it shows. read more

Loved my pedicure! The shop is so pretty, clean, uncluttered and relaxing! The staff is sweet and gentle, and the massage chairs are the best I've been in! Will be back when I'm in Reno again! read more

The old owner and her workers were great at what they did. Once the new owner took over I got one gel mani and never went back. I made an appointment close to closing time and they said it would be fine... I get there and the lady completely rushed my nails. I asked the tech for glitter powder in the beginning of the appointment and she forgot before putting the gel over my tips. So instead of drilling them down to start with them thin like you're supposed to, she just put the glitter over the gel and sealed it with more gel on top! My nails were so thick it was gross! And even worse, the final layer of gel was extremely lumpy and extremely uneven. Also, I asked for an almond shape and I swear every single nail had a different length and shape. Never again! When I finally found my new nail tech that I regularly go to now, she almost cried when she saw my nails because of how bad they were! read more

I went in for an Acrylic Full set and ended up with Gels. I get the Appointment only fiasco but they took me in (which I was very appreciative of) BUT the lady couldn't even do nails right. She let the gel run and there were holes in my nails. Also, I asked for designs and she said it was $5 for a design on each nail! That I thought was ridiculous! Luckily I had my daughter who had played with nails before and she fixed them. Never going there again. read more

My daughter and I just got Gel manis. Lisa and Teresa both did a fabulous job!! Highly recommended! We would come again and again.

Had an appointment, showed up on time and had to wait. Which is fine. While I'm choosing a color the lady begins to call for me from across the room yelling "hey" and waving me to her station?? A little unprofessional, but fine. Never greets me, asks me how I want my nails or anything, not even the color or shape. She just starts doing them. So I had to ask to make sure she was doing a gel set for me. Which her response was a glare and a nod. I then showed her a picture of what I wanted very simple short nails with a nude color. Half way through some other lady walks in with an appointment and the woman doing my nails gets up and starts giving her a pedicure?? So another lady comes and finished my nails. Again, never asked me how I would like them. I left there with long chunky bubble gum pink nails the color I chose was no where near the color represented on the nail pallets. It's hard to communicate how exactly you want your nails done to someone who really could care less and is just trying to get you done and out very disappointed, can't believe this place was rated second on yelp!!! read more

This is the first time I've been here since the girl that usually does my nails went on vacations in march & hasn't been back since. I tried someone else at that same shop but turned out horrible. Lisa at Creative Nails did a fantastic job very happy with it . The only reason not a 5 star she forgot the glitter on the tips I will come back. read more

Today was my first visit. Made appt and didn't have to wait. They were extremely pleasant and had no problem doing what we asked. They use a different technique (liquid gel) than I have ever used but my daughter and I like it. We will be regulars. Also salon is very clean and well kept. read more

Made an appointment for 2 nobody helped me till 2:30. I have had good service here before so I can't give one star but the technician only painted the middle parts of my finger nails. Disappointed for sure, probably won't come back. read more

Love Creative Nails! I've been going to them for eight years as I followed them from the Raley's Shopping Center years back. Great Staff... High Quality read more

I have been nail salon shopping and tried Creative Nails today. I sit down and the lady takes out a new kit, wraps my gel nails and I sit and let them soak. She comes back and starts removing the polish with the right tool. But when they don't come right off she starts pulling them off with her own nails! I watch her do this and then realize she has broken the tips off 3 of my nails! I pull my hands away and tell her to, "Stop! You're breaking my nails!" Some other lady behind us jumps up and comes over and I tell her what is happening. She and the other lady have some conversation and the other lady sits down and starts taking the rest of the polish off, the correct way. Then she tells me she can fix them by putting on tips. I don't want tips and there wouldn't have been a need if the polish had been removed correctly! I was so mad that I told her to just cut them down. Then another lady comes over and takes me to her station to finish up. And the best part? THEY CHARGE ME!! I've been getting gel polish for over 3 years and I've never had this kind of experience. I will never go back. read more

As I've aged and with the dry weather in Reno, my nails have gotten weak and split easily. In particular, one of my thumb nails was splitting not only vertically but its layers were coming up at the end. I was so tired of filing it down and it still looking crummy. So, I read the Yelp reviews and picked Tammy at this shop in part because I was so inexperienced at anything but a basic manicure and I just didn't know who to trust and what to do about my problem. Tammy suggested we do a hard gel on my nails and from the first time she did it I have never had to mess with my nails again! Plus, they look great. I have been back 4 times now and I couldn't be happier with what she's done. Another upside is that the thumb nails are growing which was obvious when she removed the gel this last time! All the reviews about Tammy are right on. She's great at what she does, she's friendly and a good conversationalist and she has the best English of any nail technician in Reno. I have finally found my forever nail home! read more

I decided to go here on a whim because of the good reviews and they got me in so short notice. I'm glad I did! Loan is the best nail tech I have ever gone to. She was so understanding as I am extremely picky and particular about, well, everything. I told her everything I wanted before and during and she was so sweet, smiled and said no problem. I have never experienced such kindness from anyone at any nail salon. Also she is extremely skilled! I decided to get a gel full set for the first time. It was hot, sort of hurt my nail beds, but it wasn't unbearable, plus they look way more natural and feel way lighter than acrylics. Overall, Loan did my nails exactly how I wanted them without acting annoyed or upset with me like other nails salons ALWAYS do. I'm going to be going back to her every time I need my nails done because of her kindness, because she seemed to genuinely care about my wants and needs, and because she is super talented! I'm not sure about the other nail techs there, but Loan rules. Good prices too. One star left out because one of my nails did break after only two days from being too thin, but we'll see how they help me out with that. read more
