Ellie W.

I got a manicure and pedicure this past Friday and decided on the builder gel for my nails. My pedicure was amazing the young woman that did it was so pleasant and gentle. However my nail tech who did the builder gel was extremely rough and cut into my skin multiple times. I was sat in the back area where you could hear people using the restroom and staff often looked over my shoulder for long periods of time at what my nail tech was doing. To make matters worse I've had the manicure for five days now and a nail has already come off. I wanted to give this place a try as it is a family run business however i don't think i will be returning at least not for nail services again....great pedicure!! EDIT: 3 hours later and my thumb nail is gone along with half of my pointer finger. I'm on my honeymoon and care about what my nails look like don't waste your money here like I did

Gel manicure (OPI Love is in the Bare)

Today was my first time trying Empire and Tony did not disappoint. I did a gel mani and regular pedi. Tony helped me pick out this color and I love it! He was really nice and checked in to make sure I liked the shape and color. I'm grateful they were able to take me as a walk-in but I highly suggest scheduling especially if you're going after work hours.

My new go-to place in Cincy. I had my engagement nails done here (which I didn't know at the time) and they looked absolutely amazing. I got tips and dip with chrome overlay, and they lasted a long time.

Builder gel

Had builder gel done and absolutely love it! My nails look amazing. It was super reasonably priced and they were very careful with handling my nails.

The design is wanted

Not only did they see me last minute but they did a outstanding job and design of what I wanted. Great customer service and the place was very clean.

Came to empire nail bar & spa Tony did my gel manicure on my real nails very good will be coming back when I'm in Cincinnati

Empire nail bar & spa was clean and Tony was very nice and did exactly what I asked for

SNS with chrome - light pink

3.5 Stars - Made an appointment day of for SNS, when I got there they told me to come back later bc they were busy...I told them I had an appointment they sat me in a pedicure chair and started the process of filing my nails. They later moved me to regular chair when one opened with a different nail tech. The nails ended up looking really good and turned out exactly how I wanted. I felt like he took his time and wasn't rushing.

I decided to get my nails done here because of good reviews I saw on yelp. I will be hesitant to do that again. The service began on time, as I made an appointment, so that was good. I requested a full set of acrylics with gel. The tech did take his time, however he was pretty rough with my nails and made me bleed a few times. My left pointer finger he sliced kind of badly and it hurt a lot during the appointment. I told him this, and he continued to try and mess with the nail. The nails themselves are pretty subpar. They looked good shape wise before the acrylic went on, but the shape is not what I had in mind and I didn't realize until later on in the service. I felt a bit lightheaded after he cut my finger so I was just trying to make it through the service honestly. There are a few areas under the nails where the tech did not file, so they have a clump. I will most likely not return. I paid $75 (with tip) and wish I had gone some somewhere else.

My go to place for getting my nails done! Everyone is so nice and I've never had a bad experience with any of the nail technicians. My nails usually last 3-4 weeks when I get them done here.

Tyler did my nails. Look how it turn in, beautiful and nice. He took care my nails carefully. He did a great job. Comfortable place and clean. Nice drawing. Good price. Definitely come back to experience.

Helen N.

Tyler did a great job!! He was very careful and it was exactly what I wanted. Affordable price!! I'll be back.

Alesha and Kim are the best in Cincinnati. Super nice, always make you feel comfortable. Very fast…read moreand efficient! The location can be kinda hard to find if its your first or second time. The parking lot is in the back and there are plenty of spots. You can book online and they keep your card on file for faster transactions. My only negative is that the price for eyebrows seems high, most places are $10-15, they charge $17 I believe. But I'm all about supporting a local, female owned business. :-)

I went to Heavenly Bodies for my first time today, and Alesia took awesome care of me!…read more The wax was amazing, ten times better than the Brazilian I got at a chain last month. I always prefer small businesses to corporations, and today I remembered why. Don't be fooled by a coupon. This isn't a review for that other place, so I won't get into how awful it was. I'm just so shocked by the difference. Lesson learned: just pay for the service you want. Alesia was kind, quick, gentle, and thorough. The pain was barely noticeable. I have no shame or modesty, but even if you do she won't make you feel weird! Haha. I wish I could just make an appointment for you, that's how pumped I am by this wax. Also as a side note... I hate going places that make me feel weird about wearing a mask or asking to wash my hands. I'm higher risk, and it makes me nervous to try new places. Alesia offered me hand sanitizer when I came in, sanitized everything, had touchless hand washing areas, wore a mask, and opened the sliding door with her elbow. I appreciated that! The house is hardish to fine (it's pink, that'll help you see it!) and there's parking behind it. So much more comfortable than some chain place that looks and smells like a tanning salon. Honey, go get your wax!!
