I had a great experience here. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and Anna made sure things were done the way we wanted. I had a basic pedicure with regular polish and a buff and shine on my fingernails, while my granddaughter had acrylics and Gel X based on a photo she brought in. What stood out to me was their willingness to make adjustments. When I wanted my nail shape changed or felt the polish needed a little touch up, they fixed it right away, no questions asked, and even apologized. My granddaughter showed them a photo of what she wanted. Throughout the appointment, they checked in with her and made adjustments based on her feedback. The final result wasn't an exact copy of the photo, it was actually better, and she was thrilled with how it turned out (the flower was hand drawn not a jewel). What impressed me most was that they genuinely cared about making sure she was happy and were willing to make changes along the way until she loved the result. (The photo here is before they finished and cleaned her hand up). Reading some of the negative reviews, I wonder how many people communicated their concerns during the appointment. In my experience, if you speak up, they genuinely want to make it right. They can't fix something if they don't know you're unhappy with something. The salon felt clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. It was a hot day outside, but the inside felt cool and comfortable the entire time. I occasionally noticed staff helping other customers while I was there, but I never felt neglected and the delays were brief. For me, a salon visit is a chance to relax, so it wasn't an issue at all. If I had been in a hurry, I believe I could have communicated that and they would have accommodated me. Overall, I found the staff kind, accommodating, and focused on customer satisfaction. In a world where good customer service can be hard to find, this team stood out. They listened, cared about the outcome, and made sure we left happy. I would not hesitate to return and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a friendly, reasonably priced salon experience. read more

I love coming here for pedicures. Their instruments are clean, service is thoughtful and they accommodate my needs with care. Anna is very sweet and attentive and is incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I've been coming here on and off for years! read more

I was in desperate need for a fill. It'd been two months since my first builder gel set. I randomly called fairwood nails 6/9/10 to see if they did builder gel! They do, YES!! they got me in same day quickly. I arrived 30 minutes early they had me pick my color and accommodated me immediately. I worked with Kim in the beginning and then Anna continued my service. Both women were very nice. I will be back for all my builder gel needs, etc. Anna taught me builder and hard gel are the same thing. Essentially hard gel is the brand name. She also gave me a cute little trinket two gold pins with pearls on them and a rewards card. So nice!! Awesome vibe. It was my first time there and I enjoyed my experience. 10/10. read more

I was referred to Fairwood Nails by a new friend. Anna, the owner is an absolute gem. She's super kind and very accommodating. I was able to make an appointment for a lash refill very quickly and easily even though it's the holiday season and lots of salons are full/busy. My lash refill was fantastic and Anna is REALLY good. She is super fast and made sure to fill every lash of mine. She even removed some of my older ones that were grown out too far and replaced them. She is very friendly and I can't wait to book my next refill and get my nails done with her soon!! The salon itself is beautiful and parking is easy since there's a large lot as well read more

I go to the same person (Tammy) at this salon for a pedicure and have done so for years. Tammy is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Going there is like visiting a friend. One thing I really like about her is that I don't feel the need to talk and can just quietly go about my business. The salon is clean and there is a friendly atmosphere. I recommend this nail salon read more

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a few years now. All of the staff are very friendly and do a great job! I came in today to do a nail trial for my wedding. The owner, Anna did a fantastic job and really took her time with my nails. I asked for a very light pink / white hombre and they turned out great! The pictures don't do them justice. read more

I decided to try this place after reading the reviews. It was easy to book an appointment for a pedicure. When I got there I just had to pick a color and the lady was ready for me. Overall impressive was ok. Nothing to really rave about. Everything seemed clean. There were several customers there. I asked the lady next to me if she goes there often and she yes for years. The lady that serviced me seemed nice. However, I didn't feel she did a great job at scrubbing the heal. Her filing was a bit off. The painting was ok. Funny she asked if I wanted 2 coats of color polish. I said yes. The thing that bothered me the MOST was that they left the door opened and the flies came in. I was totally uncomfortable having to shoo them away. Definitely will not go back. Oh plus they charge $0.50 extra when using a credit card. read more

Got my nails done here a week ago and the entire experience was just not great. It was my first time and I believe the lady was still training which is usually fine but everything was just not great. She told me she had an allergy to the acrylic which is understandable but I also felt like she was not too experienced. I asked for a simple design and it still looks like a 10 year old could've done better. From not measuring the nails to not measuring that the design would be the same size (it's a French tip and each nail has a different size tip) to one of my nails having a dent on the acrylic. Also the acrylic was clear which I have not seen it yet and less than 2 weeks later, I've already lost a few whole nails which is insane since my acrylics last at least 3 weeks fully. The painting was also done poorly and overall would not recommend or come back. I kept being asked if I liked it when she started and I felt pressured since I just felt like she couldn't do any better. read more

Fairwood Nails is my go-to place. Cindy always does an amazing job and pays attention to every detail. Mai is very pleasant and professional, and the whole team creates a welcoming atmosphere. Big thank you to the owner, Anna, for running such a great spa! read more

Anna works magic on helping me manage my ingrown toenails. She's so effective and also gentle. She's the only one I trust!

Update! Anna worked my daughter in today and completely redid the nails and they are much better! read more

Man I'm sad to write this review, I came to fairwood nails because I got an acrylic set from another nail place and didn't like the shape/color, so I set an "appointment" for 4:30 to have them fix it. It wasn't until 5 that I was helped. I'm not even mad about waiting cause it's not that big a deal to have to wait but the lady started working on fixing my nails and would stop to finish someone else's then come back and continue working on mine. That happened about twice. After she took my nail polish off, she started filing to fix the shape like I'd asked. She was distracted and filed SO HARD that it filed a chunk of my nail off. Normally I'd suck it up and keep my mouth shut but it BURNED and was bleeding. She told me it was fine, tried hiding it by pulling my hand away from me when I tried to inspect it. When I told her she cut a chunk of my nail off, she told me that in order to have the shape I wanted she needed to file that part off? I told her that I'd pay or tip but I didn't want to continue cause I'm just not comfortable with that and to be honest I didn't want her messing up my finger even more. She eventually said ok and that I didn't have to pay. Not gonna lie, after today I'm quite literally scarred from getting my nails done anymore. Go at your own risk ‍ read more

I have been coming to Fairwood Nails with my daughters for four years. Usually, I just get my toes done but I was going on vacation and wanted a full set. I showed the guy a picture, and Kim said she could do it. What I got for $55 was unbelievable. There were bubbles all over, the top shiny coat peeled within a day, they were uneven and not filed down, and nothing close to the picture. I've included a pic of what I asked for and what I got but I will not be returning. I even asked if Anna was there because I was so disappointed. read more

I would not come back or recommend this place to anyone. Went in to get my gel x removed and a regular manicure, , they sat me down right away since it wasn't too busy at the time. Not even 5 min into my services, people started coming in. Every associate was with aa customer including the owner who was the one doing my nails. But she keeps having to leave in the middle of my service to go and accommodate the new customers. She was not very friendly to me at all from the beginning. She was very nice and friendly to the new customers that came in to do services that are pricier. At one point She left me sitting in my chair for over 15 min while she went to start a full set on this other girl who came in after my services was started. At this point new customer just kept coming in and she keeps taking them in even though they do not have enough staff. This was one of the worse nail salon I have ever been to, lack of skills as you can see from my pictures and very bad services. read more

I've been coming to FWN for a year and have even brought my clients here. Every time you go they stamp a card and on the 10th visit you are supposed to get $10 off. The greedy owner wouldn't let me combine my cards for a discount and said next time. I've given her so much business and because she was greedy I will not return. The service has turned into the quick assembly line process and my shellac nail polish peeled off after a week. Don't waste your money they have broken chairs, hop between clients, make you wait to Finish your service, and do not sanitize their tubs after use. read more

Just moved to Fairwood and so happy to find a nail salon that I love! Tamy did my nails, I came in with 3 broken ones and needed a fill and 3 new tips. She took the time to soak the broken ones and sand them rather than ripping them off like most salons (which makes my cringe everytime!). Great attention to detail, super sweet and very clean salon which I notice! The rest of the staff seemed great and I loved that the owner or manger was present and helping everyone as it got busy towards the end of my stay. Definitely coming back to see Tamy (over 20 years experience and it shows!) Highly recommend! read more

I really wanted to like this place cus it's close to my home but idk yall. I got dip nails done on 10/20 and after 3 days, my pinky nail broke and my middle nail had a crack. I went in to get it fixed, then my middle finger nail broke again 3 days later so i went to get it fixed again. The nail tech said if i break it again Ima have to pay to get it fixed. Well now my whole nail came off. Ive been getting my nails done for 10 years and never in that time has dip powder nail broke so often. They usually last me 2-3 weeks with no problem. The ladies in there are super nice but idk about the quality of the work. I'll be trying some place else :/ read more

Second time back. Got dip done and then a fill. First time I got my nails done for my wedding. They were literally perfect, Anna made sure of it. She took her time and they were very sturdy. Last me three weeks and i only broke two nails, both my fault. I wish I had taken a picture. This time, I went back to get them filled, Cindy took care of them. They were perfect. Exactly like the first time, including her rebuild of the two broken nails. I got a lil design for valentines day too. Paid $55, and gave a $20 tip so $75 all together. They are so kind and really make sure the nails are perfect. I'll be back for sure. read more

Great location and experience! My gf and I frequent this location often and they always take amazing care of us. -They adhere to all COVID PPE restrictions. Mandatory masks, temp check, sanitize and sign-in at the door. With plexiglass between each station. -They are friendly. When they get busy things can get a little hectic in getting people checked but that's totally reasonable. -The prices are not outrages you high, we are happy with the level of service and quality of work the produce. 5/5 would recommend. read more

Service used to be Good but they overbooked my fil with the nail stylist Tina and didn't apologize the place could use some deep cleaning the polish could be updated especially when it comes to their sparkles.

I just finished getting my nails done at Fairwood Nails and as always the service was great! I've been coming here for years and have not had a bad experience. It is clean and the staff are always friendly. I come every 3-4 weeks for a hot gel manicure, which I'd highly recommend and every other month for a pedicure. They take great care of their customers. read more

They are very friendly but I only go in for manicures and pedicures on natural nails. Their color selection for regular polish has gotten worse over the years so I normally bring my own polish. Prices have gone up a few dollars since the pandemic, like everywhere else. Overall a good place but nothing extra special besides the very nice owner. read more

Really good place to go! I loved my pedicure and manicure. However someone brought their dog into it when they were getting their nails done and I am highly allergic! I love dogs but I can't be around them too long or I have problems breathing. With covid already and then the dog I was having trouble breathing. Otherwise very nice place, friendly and quick. read more

Don't normally go to this place but I needed a last minute appointment for a pedicure before a wedding. The next day one of my small toenails on my left foot appeared to be infected. It was red, swollen and painful to touch. I was limping around because it hurt to walk on it. My technician was nice but they did obviously do not follow proper sanitizing protocols here. Do not recommend. read more

Worst nails I have ever had, the ladies were switching people making my nails with each person in a rush, my nails look so uneven and some thicker than others, thumbs don't match and one is opaque. And charged me for a manicure I didn't get. If I can rate them 0 stars I would. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!! read more

Last visit (Kim) was much better than this visit. After I got home I noticed my right toenail was much shorter than the other and looked puffy. She went "ham" on it, not sure why. If you zoom in on all the nails, you will see many flaws near the cuticle, so basically subpar. Maybe I picked the wrong polish as I think I have used this one myself and it is hard to make it look nice for some reason. I hate to write bad reviews, these woman work hard. The woman that did my pedicure was very nice and worked hard, I was there for an hour, seemed kind of long to me. I was hesitant to post this as I do not want her to get in trouble, etc. I just feel like I could have done better myself. $36.60 w/tip.(20%) read more
