Went here for the first time on Monday and by Friday my nails were chipping. I got gel and it usually it lasts at least two weeks. I'm so sad because I really liked this place. They were accommodating and took me last minute. Just not worth spending over $100 for mani/ pedi if it's starts chipping after 5 days Edit: by Sunday the gel nails are coming off completely. read more

Essential Nails - Nellys amazing work . - Nail Salons Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

So dissatisfied with my nails. I called prior to coming to this salon for a full set and a pedicure in which the man I spoke to told me that they had availability for both services. When I arrived one technician started applying the tips without properly prepping my nails after I showed her a picture of what I was hoping for. she didn't clarify with me what tip size/shape that I wanted which resulted in me having a curved nail tip(which I didn't want) I was unaware that they had other tip shapes because she didn't communicate that with me! After she applied my tips I was moved to another station with a different technician who was friendly however, did not give me what I asked for and had a few nails that weren't matching or even shape wise! The service was rushed due to them closing for the day so during the acrylic application I was informed that after the application that they would have another technician start my pedicure. I was then informed that the woman who was going to do my pedicure claimed to have a family emergency so the salon owner asked for me to come back the next day. I pointed out how messed up my nails turned out and asked if the salon owner could fix it and she told me yes, just for her to tell me the next day I returned that she doesn't do acrylic nails and that all of the other nail techs were busy and I was asked to come back Sunday! The man who messed up on my nails the first time, volunteered to redo them to alter the situation. I showed up at 9:30am and was asked to come back at 11am because they were booked. So from 11am until 2:48pm I was there getting my nails removed and reapplied and as shown in the pictures, still a disappointment and not to mention, a waste of money! I was charged the first time $75 and the salon owner didn't want to give me a discount the second time I came back for their mess up and her inexperienced nail technicians so I ended up having to pay ANOTHER $65 just for them to "fix" my nails! Overall you guys a horrible experience and I absolutely positively 100 percent DO NOT RECOMMEND ! Not to mention the man who didn't do a good job on my nails (BOTH TIMES) noticed that after a while of me being there, I was getting anxiety and annoyed over his mess ups and he proceeded with my nails in a rough and attitudinal way as if I was putting stress upon him or taking up his time. Just consider a different place if you just happen to drive past this salon in hopes for quality nails. read more

This salon is beautiful, the ladies inside are very nice and knowledgeable. Unfortunately my heels got shaved a little to much. The service otherwise was nice. I enjoyed the color acrylic instead of gel color i belive it looks much smoother. Its a fun environment. The price seemed a little high, payed $168 without tip. But seeing my nails look so nice it wasnt to bad. read more

I want to start by saying I had 3 different people one for a full set one for pedicure and one for brows. I am also a licensed cosmetologist and all 3 services were desperately needed I didn't expect perfection but I paid $125 altogether. The full set: 2/10 was horrendous I said something multiple times and was blamed for nail polish getting under my nails and not relaxing. He said I must've held the nail polish bottle and that the length wasn't uneven because he matched it up with my cuticles, that he can't see the angles that I'm seeing to talk to him. Mind you it was GEL polish he could of used rubbing alcohol to get any excess instead he used a file? It was a whopping $70 to leave with uneven acrylic application, different nail lengths, acrylic and gel all over my fingers. He pulled my fingers SO hard even huffed and puffed it takes a lot for me to say something and since this was supposed to be a relaxing experience I did say something but decided not to be that person and nitpick even though I'm licensed for this kind of stuff maybe he had a rough day, the cherry on top was he used a dirty file and my gift bag I received had a new one... The pedicure: 10/10 Vince was incredibly attentive asked if I wanted anything to drink and asked multiple times if I was okay because he can probably tell I was upset with my nails. I went for a deluxe pedicure with regular polish for $40 he got my ingrowns, scraped all the hard work off my feet, he gave me a great massage and was alert to any sensitivity. At the end of the pedicure he asked to see my nails and filed any type of sloppiness he gave me some lotion and cuticle oil as well even went as far to apologize. Vince was very friendly and more than likely to fix my nails next week I would highly recommend him. The eyebrow wax: 6/10 The girl was very sweet and washed her hand before starting my eyebrows. She did not use any baby or talc powder to prep but she did wipe them afterwards. I heard her make a distressed noise taking off my right bottom brow which you can see the damage in the picture. My left brow is good but my right brow will have to grow I thanked the girl because they desperately needed it and I should've went to my coworker anyways my bad. The atmosphere of this nail salon is beautiful everyone was very nice and seemed up to date with sanitation except the person who did my full set who had nail tips on the floor when I sat down. ‍ I received a free gift bag with lotion, cuticle oil, buffers and a nail file. I hate to leave such a nasty review for the person the did my nails but I didn't even feel like I was treated like a person that needed relaxation I felt like a number. Vince really carried the experience for me and the gift bag idea was very cute I would recommend the pedicure to others. read more

This is a sorry excuse for a business. If I could rate this business with negative stars, I would. My 83 year old Grandfather who recently lost his wife of over 50 years is finding new things to enjoy, and a pedicure with my Mother, his daughter, is one of them. However, the creep of an owner tried to take away one of his joys by asking him to leave when my Grandfather requested special attention to his heel area. Mind you, this request came after the owner asked how the treatments have been going, as my Grandfather and Mother have been coming to this place once a month for the last year. He shouldn't have asked if he wasn't prepared to hear a honest and polite answer from a paying customer. My Grandfather fought for this country, and has worked hard on his feet for many decades. This is a subpar establishment that has no concept of respect towards the elderly or our veterans. The owner should be ashamed of themselves, and have lost a few loyal customers. read more

I'm giving them 3 stars because although my full set was a HUGE disappointment, the pedicure was hands down the best I have ever had in 30 years. I showed her what I wanted, and what I didn't want....‍. I was really just going to walk away from this experience without doing a review, but she insisted I do a review and I thought to myself, OK, I will do a review....a very honest one. No hard feelings, it just didn't work out as far as my nails, and I'm not just talking c***,these are facts, It is what it is‍ read more

It's so hard finding last minute appointments especially when your a full time worker with only weekends off but Essential Nails never disappoints. They always are so flexible with appointments and even though I have gotten different nail artists, I've only been disappointed once. Every-time I get reassured that I chose the best spot. I usually get medium coffin with minimal designs. read more

I decided to try this place out Bc I'm in search of a nail salon that does good work. I have no problem paying for that i ask for. All i wanted was coffin shaped ombré nails. The lady said she could do it just like the photo i showed her. When she was near the end and putting a clear coat on. I looked at my nails like wait she's done? This looks nothing like the picture. Nothing like ombré! So i told her to just paint over it with white and I'll just have all white nails instead of the pink and white ombré. She then decides to take off all the polish with the drill on another hands. Leaving my nails not smooth. So when she applied the white polish it's shows all the dips and Imperfections of my nails. Also by drilling all the color off she messed up the shape so my nails are no longer coffin. I paid and walked out before I went off on them. I'm so very upset Bc i paid $75 plus tip. And i left completely unsatisfied. The woman Winn was super sweet. But not sweet enough for me to pay $75 plus tip for this crap on my nails. And not only is the shape messed up and not only do my nails look crappy from the dips but all the nails are different lengths. Basically if you don't know how to do what the customer is asking for. Then don't tell them you can and then make me waste 3 hours inside the nail salon only to have to have you do something super basic and you not do that well at all either. Needless to say i will not be returning. I've wasted enough money there at your establishment! Blessings! read more

The only person that is nice is the guy owner read more

This is a really nice salon however i did not get what i WANTED , did not get to pick the length of MY OWN NAILS and yes i spoke up about my length i told the lady i wanted them long however she still made them short and i paid almost 100$ for something i do not like. over all im just disappointed i paid so much for something i dont like.

Such a breath of fresh air compared to the last place I had my nails did. This place is clean, well organized and they remember your name. Very generous- got a great gift bag for becoming a customer. Affordable: gel manicure and spa pedicure with salt scrub:$65! Jade did my pedicure. She's quiet , but fast and an expert touch. It's almost as if I was just napping and I woke up with pretty feet. Chris did my nails. She took her time, but has excellent attention to detail, told me everything she was doing, made sure I was comfortable. Don't think I've had that kind of nail service before. Very friendly person. I recommend it. read more

I love this place! since I've lived in Vegas I've come here! They have the nicest staff! Definitely a best kept secret here in Vegas.

This place was beyond disappointing, $50 for gel fills that are only OK. The staff is not very welcoming ,almost made me feel like I was inconveniencing them, but the worst was one of the employees having her children there while she was working!!! Nothing like trying to relax and get a manicure and having somebody constantly yelling at their kids to stop it !don't touch this! don't do that. I get that she's probably a single mom but there has to be some kind of arrangement that could've been made. Needless to say I definitely do not recommend this place and I certainly won't go back read more

Biggest mistake coming here. I use to have thick strong nails and nice cuticles (last picture). At 3 days $55 gel manicure still looked bad but hoped I could tough it out but then it started chipping on the third day. Went back and they said they would fix it but took of gel with a drill so nail was even thinner. My nails were now paper thin I said that's it I don't want it I'm leaving. Then they asked what can be done I said what can make them strong then they said overlay. They were charging me $55 more and brought it down to $30 and today which is the next day the overlay already separated from my natural nail. This is horrible and I'm out $85. I called back and I was like can I at least get the tip money back and they said I'm pathetic for wanting it back and I'm out of money so now I'm messing with their business. I did like it when I left but a day later it's detaching from my nail. I drove over 8 miles twice and gas isn't cheap I'm not going a third time for you to be rude and call me pathetic. "Come get your money from us each one of us will give you $3" really 3 people worked on my nail and it just didn't work it wasn't good work... read more

I love essential nails there are very courteous. I went to get a fill in Sunday and as you can see more then half my gems are missing and it is Tuesday. I understand that my gems are going to last as long as my nails but it's been two days. There was originally 5 on both nails. It is obvious it's not the same as the reference it's not the worst set I've had but not the best. I asked for coffin and there are very square. I'm giving the artist the benefit of the doubt because it was a foreign fill. would go back to the salon but not this artist read more

My technician is Tina Cat and I highly recommend her. Salon is clean and good safety protocol they adhere too. Love that i don't have to give her step by step instructions what i want for my mani pedi's. She remembers and always checks to insure your service is exactly what you want. Great massage after each service. Owner Cindy remembers all her regulars that come in, and she always greats you with a warm smile. Every experience in the 2 plus years has ALWAYS been top notch. Thank you Tina for the excellent service, and making me feel like a VIP... read more

Hands down my new go to spot! Vincent was amazing. I felt like he really took his time and I was able to just relax. Highly recommend!

My wife would usually come to this salon, but as of today, they have lost our business. The "manager" Cong is very confrontational, and does not like to hear that the work is subpar. I don't know why they would rather not keep us happy than lose us but too late now, it's been 2 hours and the nails are already chipping off. read more
