    Gel Manicure
    Lariel P.

    My favorite nail salon in Vegas!!!!! I come to Vegas often for work trips and I always stop by to get my nails done when I'm in town because they always do a great job. The staff is friendly, the nail salon is CLEAN, and they always do a great job on my nails.

    Tried this placed for the first time and I loved my nails so much I'm really picky and pay attention to details , I loved everything about them. Staff was really kind and I noticed the place was really clean.

    100$ acrylic set

    Hana was my nail artist and she did an absolutely wonderful job! She did the design I wanted perfectly and was pretty quick too. Wasn't expecting the 100$ price but she made it worth it.

    Gel x

    Amazing full set by Yenny! I loved how quick she was and the suggestion to try the gel x. So far they have lasted very long. Beautiful design. Thank you so much Yenny

    I am not the kind of person to leave a review but this experience was scarring for me. I walked in for a pedicure and was seated right away, which was a good start. However, the experience quickly went downhill. After choosing a polish color, I was told "no" because it was "too light" and supposedly wouldn't work. As a paying client, I know what I'm asking for, and instead of offering solutions or alternatives, I was simply dismissed. If the color truly required adjustments, they could have suggested layering it or using a base to make it work. It was frustrating to be shut down without any effort to accommodate my request. To make matters worse, another technician nearby inserted herself into the situation with an uninvited, condescending comment about my choice, saying how I must "really like" that color, followed by laughter. Both employees then began speaking in their native language, pointing at my toes, and laughing, which felt incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful; especially after I decided to skip polish altogether. I work in a customer facing role with strict guidelines on nail colors, so I specifically asked for something subtle and appropriate. This salon used to be my go to years ago, but I stopped coming in 2021 after a negative experience. Unfortunately, returning now--years later, only confirmed that the level of service has not improved. On top of the poor service, the pricing is excessive--$85 before tip for a pedicure with a single acrylic toe repair is unreasonable. I will not be returning. I'd recommend saving your time and money and choosing a different salon in Vegas.

    Cindy gave me a wonderful pedicure!!super nice and friendly and my toes look amazing!!

    Candy is stellar ok, there is no one better. Period. She gave me such a cute pedicure with a massage that was extensive and lovely. Nice and relaxing and polished.

    Very nice and clean nail salon. Always get a great pedicure when I come in with Jenny.read more

    I had gone to this spa before with my mother. As soon as we walked in, I requested women-only…read moreservice because we do not feel comfortable having a male do our pedicure. Anyway, then a woman came who knows us because we are old customers -- my whole family has been coming here for years. But this time, one woman disappointed us a lot. She asked what nail shape I wanted, and I told her I wanted a round or square shape for my toenails, which meant I did not want my nails cut completely short. Later, when I looked, she had cut all my toenails very short. When I told her that I had already explained what I wanted, she told me to "shut up" and said, "Let me do my job." I stayed quiet and thought there was no point arguing anymore. Then my mother also got upset and asked why she had cut them all short when I had clearly explained beforehand what I wanted. After that, I got upset too and told her, "You spoke to me very rudely when I was calmly explaining the shape I wanted." She again replied rudely and said, "Do you want the service done or not?" She showed so much attitude toward me in front of everyone, and then she left me there without finishing the service. I really do not understand why she behaved with so much attitude. Doesn't a customer have the right to say what they want and do not want? This was the first time something like this happened. Another worker who was sitting nearby apologized. My mother asked her where that woman had gone and who would complete my service because I was still waiting. She said nobody else could do it because they were busy, and I would have to get it done somewhere else. She also apologized and said, "I don't know why she behaved like that with you." I told her it was not her fault, but that woman treated me very disrespectfully and rudely, even though I had politely explained that if she did not understand, she could have asked me again. I had somewhere to go, and in the end I did not even get the service the way I wanted.

It's not flashy or very large but the people are super nice, the prices are very reasonable and the technician that did my pedi gave a GREAT foot massage! I chose the $55 Candy Pedicure with lavender scent. It included all the expected things plus hot towel wrap during the extremely relaxing foot massage and hot stone massage on feet afterward. My toes were finished with the pretty OPI regular polish I chose and no one hassled me about how much better gel polish is after I made my decision. I would recommend this salon to anyone in the area! It is clean and I had an extremely pleasant experience! If I'm ever here for work again, I will book another pedi here and request the same technician. Unfortunately I didn't get her name but I'm sure they have a record of who worked the night I checked in. Book your service at Candy Nails today!!

    I came here yesterday with my daughter hoping for a nice little outing together, but unfortunately…read morethe experience was really disappointing especially for the $100 we paid. Before we even left the salon, half of my daughter's toenail polish was already chipped or completely off. That should not be happening immediately after getting them painted. For my nails, I specifically asked for tips on two of my nails and the technician didn't do what I asked. The clear polish is also all over my cuticles, which makes the manicure look messy and rushed. I also got gems put on four of my nails and one of them has already fallen off after just one day. While this was happening, my daughter needed to use the bathroom and I was trying to get the technician's attention, but she completely ignored me. I had also asked if they could wait to start my daughter's toes until I finished my nails so I could sit with her, but the technician insisted "it's fine, I got it" and started anyway. Overall the service felt rushed and inattentive, and the quality did not match what we paid. I was really hoping for a good experience doing something fun with my daughter, but we left disappointed.

The vibe is friendly and upbeat. It's very bright inside modern and everything looks pretty new. Love the food on the tv. Felt like I was learning something new. Lots of colors to choose from. I came in to get a pedicure and my feet feel amazing. I highly suggest the cosmic pedicure. My old toes feel amazing and no more ingrown toe nails! I've been to at least 15 different nail salons in the city and I would highly recommend anyone to come to this salon. All the ladies are nice I didn't feel like I was being overlooked. Like I said, I can't rave about Natalie enough. She's an amazing nail tech she doesn't do nails she just does pedicures is what I understand but yeah come visit this girl. She's awesome. I would suggest to make an appointment even though walk-ins are welcome. This salon seems very busy especially on a Sunday.

The quality is always top tier and our nails stay looking good for weeks. Finding a nail tech you can trust consistently is hard, and Kelly is definitely one of the best!
