I followed my technician here to Daisy Salon. When that person left, Anna agreed to continue my powder dip nail service twice a month, and she is a perfectionist, as was my regular tech. Then one day, Anna tried to tell me it would be better for me to switch to traditional ultraviolet gels. I was caught off guard. She actually argued with me, and insisted that I try it (Even though I told her I'd used those for years before and didn't like them). Because I could see I wasn't getting anything else done that day, I said, "Okay." The ultraviolet gels performed poorly as expected. Gels get spongy when your hands get wet a lot, for example, while doing dishes, swimming, or bathing kids. Then the gel nail becomes unstable and lifts from the base. Not to mention that this instability invites bacteria to settle into and underneath it, creating puffy cuticles, irritation, redness, and itching, which it did. I didn't go back for 8 months. But when I did go back, I asked Anna point-blank: "I know you don't like doing the powder dip nails, but would you do it?" She said Yes, no problem. Guess what happened when I got there? Anna tried to show me her new system, where the nails are thicker and use only ultraviolet gels, again. I couldn't believe her nerve. This time I argued back No, I don't want anything else but powder dip nails. So Anna starts digging around for powder dip nails, which are different from those used for ultraviolet gels. So Anna starts the job by removing the old powder dip and applying tips to the nails that needed them. But on my left hand, all the nails were grown out long and didn't need tips. Would you believe she used this tall stand where I couldn't see my hands on the other side? She cut all my long nails off and put tips on both hands. I was watching TV and talking to a friend I brought with me (Yes, I actually brought her business) when I caught on too late. I wasn't going to walk out in the middle, but needless to say, I was pissed, but I held it together and held it in. Would you believe that after that, Anna switched me over to her trainee tech and went to do someone's eyebrows. Anna never came back. The trainee was very nervous, not from me, but because this was her first time doing the powder dip. Can you believe that happened? I have been going to Salons for powder-dip nails for 10 years, twice a month. Do you know how much money I have paid my techs? Plus 20% twice a month. That's a mid-size monthly car payment. And she tossed me over to her trainee and never came back to check on me. You know, when I first met her and saw the perfectionist she was, I never could've expected she would behave this way. The trainee did some things well, like her filing, and the nail shape was very flattering. But one hand didn't get as much of the French nail pink color, so under the white line, you could see right through the nail to the other side. That's a telltale sign that you're wearing tips, and that's not why I pay them $85 plus 20%. So that's no bueno. When I paid, Anna asked, Will you be back? You know I don't blame the trainee. She performed despite also being abandoned by Anna in the middle of her first powder-dip nail service, and I felt a lot of compassion for her because of that, too. Look, it's nails. It's not a physician's office. But to be fair, I'm being upfront about what I want. I'm being kind, and I pay well. But I want to pay for what I asked for. It's pretty standard for people to ask for a specific tech and get it. If a switch must happen for some reason, a discussion with the customer should take place. It did not here. In fact, Anna knew full well that when I arrived, she was going to argue with me AGAIN about what service I was going to pay for. That's no bueno. I noticed that some of this salon's 11 highly regarded reviews are from 2 years or 1 year ago. Look, businesses go through changes. It seems Anna is more in charge now than before, and she's on a journey to learn how to treat customers to gain the almighty loyalty. I was loyal to my previous tech for seven years. I am a commodity in the nail salon business. I am a good, well-paying customer, and I will not be loyal to this kind of treatment. You will have to make up your own mind. read more

I love it here! I've been coming here for years and the service is always great and the individuals who work here are so kind. They ensure to strike up a conversation with me while doing my nails and make me feel like family. The place is extremely clean and they do an amazing job with my nails! I suggest the color gel - it is worth it for the price. It lasts a month or longer (depending on how fast your nails grow) without chipping or cracking. read more

Daisy Nails & Spa - Fun color to try for spring. - Nail Salons Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

I have been coming to Daisy nails for a couple of years, however I must say this past time I went I was disappointed. I brought my daughter with me (6) and had them paint her nails & toes..no cuticle trimming or pushing back, just a simple nail and toe nail clip and paint. When I was given the bill of $37 (not including tip) I was shocked. I guess I should have asked the price up front, which is my mistake, but was very taken aback by the high price for just a nail cut and paint for a 6 year old. If you are looking for somewhere to take your small child for a girls day out, this isn't the place unfortunately! Needless to say I won't be bringing her back there with me again! read more

I had an absolutely wonderful experience here. Very thorough and kind ladies work here. They called me by first name when addressing me and all services (pedi, mani, wax) was detail oriented and perfect! I will surely be back. Happy to know this is nearby! read more

I went because I got a gift card for Christmas, the service was good & everyone was nice but I've never gotten my gel nails done the way they did them and I've also never paid $85 for gel, the process seemed very cheap even tho I paid so much, she also cut my finger with the file really bad, 3 nails fell off the next day!! They were cute but very uneven I had to file them all when I got home. So disappointed. read more

It's under new ownership!! I seriously just had the best pedi ! In fact the entire time I thought she misunderstood me and was giving me a spa pedi. It cost 30.00 a bit more then most places around town but well worth it. She didn't rush and it was very relaxing. Even put a hot wrap around my neck. I strongly recommend coming here. read more

I really enjoyed my spa pedicure here! The staff is so friendly and genuine, and the salon is airy, clean, and upbeat in decor. They follow strict hygiene measures and everyone from customers to technicians is asked to wear masks. I got a lemon spa treatment, which included a good 15-min foot and lower leg massage. At $55, it was more expensive than some other salons but I didn't mind. It was worth it to feel pampered. I didn't feel they were rushing through the pedicure and I was able to relax. read more

Came here for the second time, and had a phenomenal experience again. This time, Sunny and Anna took care of me. They were meticulous, and went over and above to make sure everything was perfect. Sunny did a beautiful job with my pedi and mani. I accidentally chipped my toe and went back later and Anna fixed everything for me, even when they were just closing. Everyone knows each other on a first name basis. The atmosphere is relaxing, comfortable, clean, and happy. I will go here again and again! read more

Happy to see this nail salon under new ownership. Previously know as Sunny Nails, the new owners have changed the name and cleaned up the place very nicely. The staff is friendly and the services are great. I love that it is small and intimate, I don't feel like they are just trying to turn you out at quickly as possible because there are a ton of people in the shop. Hidden gem! read more
