Got these pink stilettos done by Ricky for my birthday trip! I love them! He's very detail oriented and the shape is perfect

Looked for a place today that was close to work...thank goodness for Yelp reviews! I walked in, signed in and was helped right away. Clean salon, lots of nail color options. In and out in about an hour with a gel manicure. The gentleman who did my nails was pleasant and did a good job! The true test is in how long they hold up, but so far, I'm pleased.

I've been a regular of Rickys for a good time now and I have nothing but love for this salon. Everyone on the staff is so kind and personable and they are always so nice to talk to! Definitely get your nails done here !

I came here because I saw so many photos on Yelp of their acrylic nails that looked absolutely perfect. Mine came out so beautiful and it's the best full set I've ever had. They are shaped perfectly and they're applied evenly and sturdy. Also, my nail beds do not hurt AT ALL. Normally after getting a new set my nail beds are sore, but not this time. I also got an amazing pedicure! These nails are by Ricky.

Beautiful nails every time!

This nail salon is the best! Every tech is so friendly and talented. My tech is Sophea and she is amazing! So kind and fun to chat with and does the best work! I have never been disappointed with my nails when going to exotic nails in Fairview. I can't say that about any other salon I've been to previously. They have so many colors of polish and gel, as well as the dip powder! Very professional, great prices, and consistently excellent work. Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone!

Today was my first time at exotic nails and it was perfect! Masks required and plexiglass between you and the nail tech for covid reasons. I showed her a pic of what I wanted and she delivered! I was in and out of there within an hour. I will be back! Super easy to book online and had same day appointments.

Fresh acrylic set with mint gel (#427) polish. Shape=almond. :) how gorgeous!

Love this place, and I am so happy I drove 35 minutes for my appointment. Clean salon, super cute yet professional atmosphere. Super sweet staff. Nails were done beautifully, and they have an amazing gel polish color selection-- I was overwhelmed by the awesome colors! Definitely now a regular. :)

The only issue is that Paula can just do regular gel polish without added artwork but I'm okay with that :).

2.5/5 overall rating. I was debating giving them a 2.5 and 3 stars but I decided on a 2.5 because…read morecustomer service is at least good. I visited over a year ago in April 2023 and this review is being written in May 2024. CUSTOMER SERVICE -- In my experience, they have good customer service. I called last minute and I was able to get an appointment. NAILS -- There are a variety of styles and colours to choose from - you can keep your natural nails or add acrylic (fake) nails. I got acrylic nails for the first time with a pink gel polish. My actual nail service was a little rushed towards the end because I noticed that after the staff member was done, my cuticles or the skin around my nails were not smooth. There was still little bits of dry skin that could be cut or peeled off. The nail technician, a woman, didn't remove some of my dry skin around my nails. Granted, I could have said something to her afterwards but after already spending over 1 hour there, it was getting late at night and I needed to go back to my apartment. It was obvious to me though that the nail technician would know how to finalise a nail service. For such an expensive nail service, it would have been nice if they paid more attention to the little details. My cuticles and some dead skin were not done correctly. In addition, when I went back 2+ months later to have the nails removed, which I believe is free or $10, I noticed that my actual nails were brittle/soft/weak. It took over 4 months for my nails to feel strong again. A friend told me that the method that they used to remove the acrylic nails may have put too much pressure of on my actual nails and damaged them. I'm never getting acrylic nails and gel polish again whether here at Liz Nails or elsewhere. It works for some people but not for me. Gel polish is extremely hard to remove by yourself and that's not a Liz Nails business issue. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 29/150 total reviews in 2024 - 679 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 17 May 2024

I love getting my nails done at Glossy! The staff are so friendly and sweet, booking is easy, and…read morethey have a wide range of colors, plus optional nail art that you can chose from. I think there's about 8 nail stations and 3 pedicure chairs. Glossy does not do dips or acrylics, they do regular polish and gel manicures with builder gel. The salon is super clean and does not smell like acrylic or any other chemical. I don't think I've ever been out in under 90 minutes, so you do need to make sure that you have time. The techs are pretty punctual. As some folks have said, there are only a few dedicated parking spots, but you can usually grab an easy street spot. I will say, much as I love it here, it's on the higher side for a manicure. It's definitely worth it, you don't feel crowded or rushed, and they do a really thorough job with your nails. I really love the builder gel, which does add time to the process, and that, of course, adds to the cost - my natural nails click obnoxiously like the girls with the acrylic extensions and I love it.

My appointment was at 7:00, but I got there a little early because I work just down the road and got off at 7:00. They have a few designated parking spaces on the side of the building, but they were taken. However, I found a super close street spot no problem. I walk in and the receptionist was so cheery and friendly. Offered me coffee of tea. My mom and I sat and discussed which color gel we wanted, whilst looking in their "glossary" of colors. They had SO many cute options. I went with a shimmery white because I wanted something festive, yet subtle, for a 4th of July wedding I was attending. My nail tech, Becky, was so warm and welcoming. Honestly, I was so comfortable with her, it was like we were longtime pals. My mom and sister said the same with their nail techs as well. This was such a great experience. It honestly felt like a little home with a little family.

It hurt during it but I thought the lady was getting some extra dead skin in the area. It was painful for several days after and left a scab. I called to ask for some money back and they did not do anything to make it right. They said I could come in and they would look at it. But I live in a different city and was visiting for the holidays so that will not work. They said they could fix what was damaged but could not give me a refund, gift card, or anything.

My nail tech, Katie, was super friendly and I really had high hopes that this would be my new spot. My pedi was okay, but she told me that unless I upgraded (i.e. paid more) that she couldn't remove my callouses. Moving on to my manicure, I asked for nail art but was informed that it was a $20 up charge. I opted for French tips instead, a $10 up charge, which she said she specialized in. As you can see from the photos, there was polish all over my cuticles, and the tips were extremely uneven and thick. Fast forward to a few weeks later, I decided to give Venetian one more chance. I specifically asked for Zoe as she has come highly recommended from friends. When I arrived, I was assigned a nail tech who was not Zoe. When I informed them that I had made an appointment specifically with Zoe, I was told that she wasn't working. My second mani was just as bad and unfortunately I will not be back.
