I called within a week to let them know, and I was told the repairs would be done at no charge as long as I reported it within that timeframe. I was also advised to take photos to document the date in case I couldn't come in right away. When I came in today, I was told I would be charged because I had gel builder, as if a gel builder manicure is only expected to last four days. I showed the picture and let them know what I was told, unfortunately they do not keep their word. This was very disappointing and completely inconsistent with what I was originally told. To make matters worse, after fixing the nails, the staff did not help me find a color that matched my existing nails and instead rushed me to "make a decision." The entire experience felt unprofessional and customer service was clearly not a priority. Unfortunately, this experience reminded me why I stopped coming here in the first place. It seems the focus is more on making money than on standing behind the quality of the work or taking care of customers. I left feeling disappointed.

Cute color!

They take their time, listen to what you want, and the results are always beautiful and natural. It's rare to find a neighborhood salon you can trust year after year, and Pure Nails Spa has absolutely earned my loyalty. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and exceptional service.

The tech was very nice, but the set is just not good: 1. I asked her to make sure she maintained my side walls and said I was ok with them needing to be longer if the length I specified would mean she had to file my side walls. This didn't happen. Side walls were filed off. 2. Nails look "ski sloped". 3. Set already looks grown out. It's been less than 24 hrs. 4. Salon was visibly dirty and tools were obviously being reused. Gloss is now a skip. Sadly, this was the end of the road for me with Gloss.

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon with no appointment and they had room for us. Between two of us we got one pedicure, one set of acrylics, and one gelx fill. They brought me a complimentary glass of champagne, and our other person got a custom coffee drink (for which there was an upcharge). They offer various teas and coffee drinks and things. I thought the place seemed clean, nice and professional. It was pretty expensive but you get way you pay for. It didn't feel like a Nail Salon, more like a spa. The chairs were nice and they may have had massage action, but the controls were covered up because the ladies were doing our nails there. On the pedicure, I went for the second one which was $53. For that they put oranges in the water and have four different packets of lotions and things they put on your feet. Only feedback is the selecting of your polish color was a little discombobulated. They don't have all of the choices in one spot and they sit you down before you have a chance to pick and so picking color was a bit of a rigamarole. They need a better system for that. Overall, really nice experience and I would go back. Total cost for all of that for us was $214 plus we had to tip everyone.

She gave me plenty of options while also offering her expertise on which tones and colors she thought would complement me best--and I really appreciated that. The shop got a little busy while I was there, but I was impressed by how all of the technicians handled the crowd with style and grace. Most importantly, Hannah never made me feel rushed. She continued to give my pedicure the same level of attentiveness, accuracy, and care from beginning to end. She treated me like a paying client who deserved her time, and that stood out to me. Great service, great atmosphere, and an even better first experience. 10/10. Hannah, I'll see you in one month! The soft girl era has officially begun.

What a wonderful and relaxing experience. I was attended to by Kelly, Amy and Tony. In preparation for my son and daughter in law's wedding, my pampering started with a much anticipated manicure and pedicure from Tony. He did a great job. I especially enjoyed the hand and leg massage. Kelly took care of my make up. She airbrushed my makeup to perfection. She listened to my vision and made it such a fun experience. She was incredibly detailed in every aspect of my makeup. Kelly was friendly, conscientious and complimentary. She made me feel extra special. Amy was my hair stylist. I gave her a brief description of what I was thinking of and she nailed it. What a great experience. If you're looking for a positive encounter this is the place to find it. read more

Diane was excellent. This was my first time in a nail salon, and wasn't sure what to expect, but Diane's kindness and patience quickly helped me relax and enjoy myself. She also did wonders for my nails-I have never been happier with them. I highly recommend acrylic nail services at Emblush, and will be returning. I should also note that all health precautions were executed wonderfully too, and I felt safe throughout the entire process. read more

I was very happy with the service first time when I got mani and went back for a mani/ pedi combo and it was as great. The salon is very clean, well maintained, they are not rushing to be done with the client asap as many other places around do to just fit 3 people in an hour. They have great variety of colors, including two Non-toxic brand, one is Zoya and another Japanese brand with. I highly recommend this place. read more
