Was a walk-in & was sat right away for a gel mani. Let's just say as a guy, worse mani I've ever had. I got them done at 2 on Friday, by 6 Saturday i had 2 hang nails. Cuticles look ruff AF. Constant adjustment to hand position as if she couldn't see. No soak-off just file down of previous gel. Overall unsatisfied. Nails look 2 weeks old after 4 days. Will NOT be returning read more

the staff is rude and racist, they talk trash on clients in front of other clients. i posted a review at first with 3 stars saying it used to be good but I didn't care for the new guy there. Jenny told me to come in she's back I went in to give her a chance and she screamed at me in front of an entire room of people that she won't do nails for rude people, ok first off being honest and rude are two different things second I paid her 150 every 3 weeks until the service went downhill from the men so I stopped going. this lady is mentally ill and should be avoided read more

I called in and asked if they had availability for a pedicure & a fill. The person said they did and asked that I come in. I arrived no less than 10 min to find the salon swamped w clients. I was seated at a pedicure station and my feet were soaking for more than 20 min. They just let me feed soak, didn't offer me a catalog to pick out a color. Just let me sit there. I find their prices to be outrageous and crazy how they often change. This will be my last visit here. read more

Lady kept talking behind my back in her language. And she charged me too much, bc we agreed upon a much more intricate design plus the use of multiple colors. She skated buy with one color and the use of clear. read more

I came in and asked for a full set and I get my nails pretty long. Keep in mind, I came in with my best friend and I was rushed from the get-go. Yet, I was still super respectful because I work customer service. I got my tips and acrylic on and they were switching employees frequently during this process. Which took around 15-20 minutes. They then got started with my friends full set as well. But, they completely rushed my friends full set within a 30 min span which resulted in a painful and unfinished nail job. Also, there is still covid regulations so it could really effect customers who want to come in and feel as safe as possible. The shape of my nails is top notch but not worth the money they charge. I got a basic single acrylic set while my friend got an ombrè nail and they didn't stop talking bad about how long my nails were. And seemed upset about my friend getting ombrè nails?.. Was charged $70 and she was charged $75. Never again:) read more

Jen is always very welcoming and is an extremely hard worker. I have been in with my daughters for manis and pedis. Their gel pedis last almost three months!!! She and her husband run this small business and if they have two people waiting, just come back in an hour. Some people on here are very impatient. Have patience and remember it's supposed to be relaxing so breathe. Love Davi Nails!! read more

been here frequently for about a year and some days are great and others not so much. it was so packed and they continued taking more customers without many nail techs. just the 2 of them. so they rush and nails end up sloppy. i'm always cut with the drills i really think their machine are up too high as when i first started going this wasn't an issue. read more

The only place I trust in State College! I wish I had more pictures to upload to show what an amazing job both Jen and her husband do. They can get busy so definitely recommend making an appointment rather than walking in. I get pedicures every 4 weeks and get my nails filled every 3 weeks. Great place and great service! read more

If I walk into a salon and ask for a fill, and you tell me to pick out a color and sit down, and there's one other person in the store, I'm going to assume I'm up soon. What I did not expect was to sit here for over an hour. Over an hour without speaking to me or doing anything to my nails. Why can't you just say "it'll be an hour". I would've gotten food, coffee, gone grocery shopping. I have other things to do and you quite frankly wasted my time. I sincerely hope you improve your business model because there's barely anyone here to begin with. I'm literally in my car sobbing because I needed my nails done and wasted an hour and then had to leave because not everyone has 3 hours to sit in a salon. read more

I was very hesitant to go here after reading the reviews. All other salons we booked or closed. Tony did my nails and I am very happy! I certainly recommend him as he was very gentle and my nails look great! read more

Waited 35min to sit in a chair just for the owner to keep yelling in my face Pick a color I told her I wanted a free hand. She then stated that would be 25 dollars extra per nail I said oooo then she said you can go els where because it's too much money for u!!!! Like whattttt I got the money im just like 25per nail is crazy after an hour i was kicked out because she felt like i was mad.. BECAUSE I WANTED A DESIGN IF U CANT DO DESIGNS YOU SHOULD HAVE A SIGN SAYING SO.. Then her and this guy pull out they PHONES and start recording me without my permission and yelling at me to get out... they should just change the name to racist nail because thats what its given i was so clam and she was upset from the jump when she could have said and hour earlier she was going to sever me. OH AND I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH WALMART BECAUSE THIS IS CRAZY! read more

This salon used to b my go to salon, no more! I asked for 3 areas to b waxed, cost me$30 which I am not complaining about price but paying cash for waxing and not even using the tweezers once to clean up stray hairs on brows is ridiculous. Why cash, r they not reporting as income? I then had a basic pedi. I was used to picking color off the wall, they told me no. They ask if I wanted gel, I said no, I picked a color from their nail samples, they tell me it will b too light, so I pick another reinforcing I don't want gel. The jersey were never turned. I ask if they still use the jets, they said no. Always when I got a basic, jets were used there, but no more. I then moved over to "her" , to get mani. I needed one tip since I had one nail of my own too short. I paid $57.00 for mani/pedi. 1 1/2 days later the push on one fingernail started coming off. I stopped in and asked if they could touch it up as my event was that eve. You would think I ask for a new mani. She flipped out on me, embarrassing me in front of customers telling me she told me to get gel and plain nail polish only lasts 2 days. I told her she only ask if I wanted gel and never told me regular polish only lasts 2 days. I used to get acrylic nails with regular polish for years and the regular polish lasted 3 weeks. I was embarrassed and will never go back. They tell people who come in it will be 20 minute wait and it's an hour or more. Raising ur voice at a customer who just paid u $87 day and a half ago is no way to run a business. Perhaps they r stressed because they have no sitter at times and have their baby and daughter at the spa but don't treat ur customers like trash. I only gave one star because I had to to post. read more

Terrible customer service. The lead was terribly unjust to me for no reason. I waited for 40 min for service. A lady who came 20 min after me was serviced before me. Why? Bc I stepped away for 5 min when I initially got there to make a quick purchase. Even though they weren't ready to see me and no one had come in at that point. read more

Do not recommend. I've been getting my nails done for 17 years and I was charged $9 for a nail repair. I'll add that I needed a nail repair only after two days. The salon is under staffed and they rush their work leading to poor results. They simply want to take your money and overcharge tremendously. You can get better work done at a more appropriate cost. For state college PA this isn't Miami or NYC you shouldn't have to pay $9 for a nail repair two days later, even if it is a coffin shaped nail. It just represents poor customer service. Unfortunately they will lose a customer who typically drops $80 when I come. Unfortunate. read more

i asked for a manicure but just got my nails polished. and it cost me 50. they spent more time talking about me in their native language

This place is horrible! My daughter went there and had an awful experience. I called from California and spoke to El, she was not helpful and could care less about our concerns. My daughter waited for two hours with her nails soaked in acetone and every time she tried to pulled her nails out she was told to keep soaking her nails. My daughter had to peel her nails off by herself and to make things worse she had to pay $15 for nothing! Not to mention how unhealthy that is for anyone to soak their nails for that period of time. Don't ever go to this horrendous nail salon! We will be reporting this to every social media outlet to let other people know how they will be treated! When I advised El that I was going to write a negative review she said she didn't care and said, "post whatever you want to write." I guess this shows their lack of customer service and their ability to listen to customer's complaints and concerns. We will be letting all of my daughter's friends know never go to this disgusting nail salon! read more

They make you wait forever. Over charge when acrylic basic set is $35 I got charged $57 for nothing. I asked for a square shape and she gave me some weird triangle shape. They speak in their own language poorly about customers and they have no type of communication with you. They take calls while doing your nails and FaceTimes. Just absolutely rude. Not worth the time. Go somewhere else! Ohh and she also put nails on that didn't even fit my nails! They were two sizes too small read more

I cannot agree more with above reviewers. The people are too rude and unwelcoming. The owner needs to think about customer relationship. If a customer asks something they don't answer, rather they gossip in their own language which is so disrespectful to other people who don't understand. The guy worker there, cut my skin while shaping the nails and didn't even shape the way i wanted to. They don't listen to customers. What kind of a business is this?!!! Pathetic and horrible. Also in the end when I asked the lady why she's charging $63 after telling her about the injury she says nothings comes free. If it had to come free would I be even entering your damn nail salon. Heavily disrespectful. Racial and discriminatory!!! Not at all recommended. read more

I wish I could give them zero stars. I agree with everyone above has said. The guy is perverted and does tickle your feet on purpose. I stopped getting pedicures because of this reason. For three years, I was a customer. I was usually happy there when Jenn did my nails. I didn't care for her attitude but overall I didn't have too many complaints. When her husband started doing my nails, all of a sudden, it became "Your nails are loose, we have to charge you for take off and a new set" or "You waited too long, it is going to cost more". I was already paying $45 before tip for an acrylic fill in with no extras. Every time I turned around, I was paying more and more. I found a new nail salon in State College. I started going there and really like them. Unfortunately, there are always busy. So, on Christmas Eve, I decided to give Davi Nails another try. Again, they tried to tell me that my nails are loose and I need a new set. I then Decided to stand up for myself and say "No, I have been going to another salon and they haven't had a single issue with my nails". Jenn then decided to get very rude and unprofessional with me. She said and I quote, "When you are running around to all different places, your nails will suffer. We do nails eith heart. You might pay a little more but it is better". I hate to say it but the other place was much better!! Me and my daughter would get a Fill In for $25 a piece with no upcharges at all. There is a reason why Davi Nails is ALWAYS empty. They charged me $95 for me and my daughter to get a Fill In. That is absolutely ridiculous! If they were great, then I wouldn't even have had an issue. I got a 2 tone color and he didn't clean up the polish around. The base layer was a hot pink color that you can still see under my nails. I left with nail polish all around my fingers. read more

First visit and needed a fill. After she took off polish, we saw I got moisture under nails and there was fungus. All she had to do is clip of file off acrylic and then file fungus area on my nail, put anti fungus liquid on then proceed to do the fills. She then proceeded to tell me they don't do that. What!?! I know better cause I used to do my own. She didn't want to take the extra couple of minutes to see that her customer got the correct work done! Very, very upset with this place. Also I think they should speak English around their customers. I think that's direspectful, (my opinion). read more

This is the only salon I'll use. Staff is always very friendly and personable with me. They do an awesome job! I always get compliments! They also are very patient and friendly with my 8 year old daughter who likes to tag along sometimes. I have seen first hand customers being racist or extremely rude to the staff...I wonder if the bad reviews are from some of them! I've never had an issue with them being rude to me. Maybe you should pay attention to how you treat people! read more

Do not recommend. Rude woman. Does not care how long you wait. With appointment I sat in Pedi chair for 35 minutes when she started to work on other people without appointment. I asked how much longer i had to wait and she told me because I was late it would awhile!! I wasnt late, she was working on previous client when I arrived. She wasnt ready for me and wanted to make more money. I got out of pedi chair and she said I owed her money for the liner in the foot bath. I would not pay and she followed me to my car and took a picture of my drivers license. Rude Woman. Never going back read more

The lady that did my nails was super annoying and racist. I came in by 7:20 and I ask what time they close. She said I shouldn't worry about it. That she could do my nails. She kept on pulling my hands. Half way through the job, she told me they close at 7:30 and that I should have come early. I told her that why I ask when they were closing earlier. When she was done with my nails, I told her I did not appreciate the way she pulled my hands. Her response was " That's the way I fix nails. I rub cream on your hands when I finished. I don't rub cream on people with ur color". I was so shocked and disappointed at the same time. So if u are black don't go there. read more

Went in without an appointment for a full set. Everything seemed fine, friendly staff, pretty clean. The first night a couple of my nails were sore but they were fine the next day so I thought nothing of it. Then they started breaking off on day 5, which wasn't painful at all. After a few broke I hastily removed the rest and I came to realize that they actually drilled down into my nails considerably. Needless to say I wont be going back. read more

I am taking a break from gel nails and wanted to clean up my natural nails with a simple trasitional manicure. My nails had on only a thin layer of top coat. The manicure I received for $15 plus tip was very haphazard. The technician took very little pride in her work and rushed as though she was tolerating the task. Too, I saw her adding cheap solutions into OPI bottles. The chemical smell on my nails is still burning my eyes four hours later. I might resort to removing the polish before I get into bed. At this salon, I had the impression that I was nothing more than a commodity, rather than a customer to help to feel special and beautiful. Mission and values? I don't think so. read more

Absolutely horrendous. When I politely asked them not to use the drill on my natural nail, the tech became enraged. She grabbed my hand and pulled it towards the drill. She was beyond Rude, terse, and extremely rough. Will never come back here and would NEVER recommend this nail salon. read more

I was told by MANY others not to go to this salon, however I went against be better judgment. Absolutely the worst nail salon to go to. The woman who does the nail designs is very rude and unprofessional. Even more so she allowed her child to run around the entire time, spilling nail polish and disturbing other customers. This woman did not take her time with my nails and when I spoke up she decided to have an attitude and snap at me. I totally understand why this nail salon is rated 1 star on Yelp. At one point this nail salon had cheaper prices and it made sense to come in as a last resort, however I recommend just going somewhere else. If I could give this salon a half a star I would, and that's because the gentleman there was very professional and does take his time. The salon is also very understaffed. I understand that it can be stressful, however it is at no point acceptable to provide bad service or be unprofessional. They've definitely lost a customer and any recommendations going forward. Totally forgot to mention the wait and price confirmation! So I asked repeatedly how much my nails would cost so I could decide if it was reasonable. The woman kept saying $15 and up.... When I mentioned that I needed an actual price or I would find somewhere else, she decided on $70 and then had another tail technician come and start my nails. I then sat there for over 20 minutes with just the tips on my nails, when supposedly there was "no wait time". read more

I went here for the first time yesterday and was asked if I was getting gel nails to which I replied yes! My nails are VERY short now so I wanted a full set of acrylics. Apparently I misunderstood the woman who asked me that wearing a mask and when the man started my nails they spoke back and forth in their language and she asked me are u getting fake nails and I said yes. She said well why didn't u say that when I asked u....I apologized for misunderstanding what she asked. Man starts my nails, they talk more, he's clearly getting agitated at this point, pushed my hand back stood up and went to another station and started someone else. Not sure what I did, or if it even had to do with me but I was sort of offended. She came over finished my nails, told me coffin nails were extra and couldn't give me a price til she saw what length I wanted!!! NO THANKS! They shape ur nails for everything else why are coffin more expensive?? I'll tell ya why, bc all they care about is taking ur money! She(i don't know her name) kept talking to me like I was a child, saying next time when I ask make sure u tell me exactly what u want bc it makes more work for us!!! Well excuse me for not understanding.....I will NOT be going back! Rude and understaffed! 2 workers and 7 customers in chairs...... read more

worst salon ever. soaked my nails for 2 hours to remove acrylics and totally ruined my nails and now my fingers are covered in sh**. terrible. read more

Worst nail place I've ever been too! I waited over 2 hrs with my nails soaking in acetone the whole time! My skin literally started peeling off and the lady kept yelling at me to keep them in the bowl just because she wasn't ready to work on my nails. They are way under staffed yet she continued to seat people and serve them before me even though I had been waiting for over an hour. My pedicure and manicure were completely rushed and the most expensive I've ever had for the bare minimum and poor quality. This place really just cares about the money and not about the service they are offering. They will charge you for every little thing!! Yet they can't even do the simplest of designs. The man that did my toe nails was perverted and kept trying to tickle me on purpose, which is so weird. He left every so often for a cigarette break and never washed his hands when he came back. The hygiene of the place was disgusting and the staff were some of the rudest people! I will never come back here again. I don't even know how this place is still in business!! Go any where else and I guarantee it will be better than here!! read more

Unfortunately a terrible experience. My fiancée and I have a tradition of going for pedicures together around the holidays. We made an appointment and arrived a bit early. They asked us to sit in the pedicure chairs (I'm sure they have a more technical name than that, but I don't know it) and we did. About 20-30 minutes later a gentleman came over and started taking care of my fiancée's feet. Another 20 minutes later or so another gentleman said someone would be with me shortly. Add on yet another 20 minutes and my fiancée was moved on to her manicure and nobody had yet to come to me. However, a woman who had come in without an appointment 30 minutes after us and sat down right next to me was part way through her pedicure. Awful customer service to say the least. I packed up and put my shoes back on without making a stink. Not one person acknowledged their errors or said so much as "sorry," rather they gave me a total for her nails that included a few they never had made us aware of during the process. I highly suggest going elsewhere. read more
