im not a person to talk bad about someone's business but all im gonna say is this place needs to do better i got very short nails not even with a design or with charms just a simple color and was 70$ not in my life have i ever paid this much for such short nails that are this simple the lady didnt even clean up my nails or cuticles and even after the lady was done i had about two nails that were slanted and uneven i even told her about them and she said they were fine like girl.... i seen better work than this and yes i still paid and left a tip.....

I love coming here. I don't get my nails done very often but when I do I choose to come here. Everyone is very friendly and my nails always come out amazing. The deluxe pedicure is worth it.

I went far too long without a pedicure! This place is literally down the street from my house. It's a smaller nail salon, but I'm not gonna lie they did a heck of a good job! Zero wait time, about 14 customers, including me, they fit me right in no sweat. Very friendly atmosphere and good prices!

Having pedicure at Famous Nails

I was extremely impressed. The facility is so clean. Staff friendly and accomodating. I had the upgrade on the pedicure. So relaxing... Having been to a number of places,I can honestly say that their prices are competitive. Waited until the last minute to call for an appointment. They were able to accomodate within an hour. I will definitely go back next time. They are located just east of Louisiana on Montgomery. Centrally located for convenience.

I have been coming here for years and refuse to go elsewhere. Everyone here is simply amazing and so friendly! I always get a gel pedicure and sometimes manicure. Have also gotten waxed here too! Reasonably priced and very clean. Everyone does an amazing job even if you're just a walk in. Highly recommend.

One of the most relaxing spas I've ever been in! Got my nails done for my birthday, and they turned out wonderful!!! Brian was a riot and did my nails incredibly!

Every time I go I get someone different and they never miss. Love coming here. Have not been disappointed once

Chrome nails on pink gel. I love them!!

In term of quality nails I think this place is one of the best in abq. Here's a few highlights: 1) great at cuticles- I've never been cut which I am alway paranoid about when I go other places. 2) AMAZING at design &precision. Everyone that I have tired there is really good at design especially if you have a picture. 3) tons of colors and can do almost any design if you have a pic. They have so many colors like chrome and hologram. I would say there price is a about average, may be a little more. They get busy so it's good to make an appointment.

Do not go here to get your eyebrows waxed! They ripped the skin straight off of my brow bone and eyelid and let me leave the store without telling me what happened. Once I came back to tell them what happened the lady that did my eyebrows did not acknowledge me or say sorry. I left my with patches of skin missing. DONT GO HERE. Disgusting service and horrible facility.

How my toes looked they hurted so bad

I was so excited to try this place but huge disappointment , I was rushed to do my pedicure everything was so unsanitary the tools look old and. he didnt sanitize he has previously used them on the client before and when i asked if i can get sanitized tools he hot upset started talking in his language on top of that The guy hurt me because he was going so fast he cut my nails way to short , and when it got time to do my nails i showed the lady the photo and asked if she could do them she barley looked at the photo and responded yes yes pick a color . She started filing down at this point i felt bad vibes because she was very carelessly putting nails on filing the base of my nail and then she put the nail on and she was so rough i couldn't even continue with the service j asked her politely to remove the nail because not only was she hurting me but it was nothing like what i asked for . she was so angry and i asked of we can just do the dip and she said no . my nail beds were different and she didn't know how to do . i left i. tears how they treated me my toe nails hurting and my hand nails filed down it felt like i had just removed a brandnew set the way she tore of the fake nail and glue . im really sad i had high hopes for this

Super cute! The man that did my nails did an amazing job! This set is acrylic, with tips and gel, and ended up costing $57.

I love this Salon. It's so nice to enter a space that doesn't smell like chemicals with lots of…read morenatural plants around. Leslie did a meticulous job, as well as being a lovely person. I would recommend them highly.

Wow! This place is a treat! Surprisingly popular with men too (I overheard one customer talking…read moreabout how she wished her husband would come get his feet cleaned up because she always sees other men here, and during my visit I saw one man who was probably in his 60's finishing up before me, then while I was waiting for my ride another man who was probably in his early 80's!). My nail tech was fantastic. I appreciated that the tools used came out of one of those blue sanitary packs (post service I was offered the files that were used for my feet and toes to take home), and the products used were quality too. The scrub smelt delicious (fall/pumpkin season inspired) and felt perfect (not too rough, not too delicate). The polishes offered are Ella & Mila (I don't recall what the gel offerings were). I got the most expensive pedicure available at the time (#TreatYoSelf) as I was in town for a wedding and wanted to do something a little luxurious. After tax it was $75. Yes Natural Nail Boutique is BY APPOINTMENT ONLY but if there's no appointments available you can always try checking the following day (that's what I did; I checked on a Wednesday with no luck and then when I looked again on Thursday there suddenly was a Friday appointment available). The vibe is luxury without being uppity. Wish we had a place like this in Reno, NV! What a treat!

I gotta be honest here- Moon Nails was one of the most overstimulating, jarring, frustrating nail…read moreexperiences I've had. Pros- if what you want is quick nails and basic colors, cool. You got it. Just be ready for it to hurt. Cons: These ladies are no holds barred when it comes to making you bleed, they used power tools on your feet to make them raw and if you get acrylic nails, they're gouging your nail bed with the Dremel till it burns. I'm not shy, I've spoken up and said it hurts. They apologize, and go right back to doing what hurt but now with more attitude! If you don't book an appointment with someone specific, you're likely going to get the least experienced nail tech, who is the most violent when handling your extremities. The vibe very much feels like "when you're here, you're an inconvenience". Want something special? Forget it- you're treated like even more of a hassle. Almost like they don't want to make the extra money from the add ons! They'll straight up look at your reference, say yes they can do it, then massively mess it up and try to gaslight you about its quality, having the least experienced tech just stumble through it in the most painful way, painting clear coat over chunks of dust, shaping your nails with absolutely no uniformity AND THEN letting you know the design you showed them was something they didn't know how to do. That info would have been great up front. This is a conveyor belt nail salon. They want you in and out as quickly as possible and they're gonna scream at each other with soothing spa music in the background. JFC. Get me out of here. *sigh* Honestly, I used to tolerate it. I thought that was just how the nail industry was. I thought it was supposed to hurt a bit, and that all nail places treated you like an inconvenience. That was- until I went elsewhere. I had revisited this place for a color change and quick pedi and FORGOT how much they abuse your tootsies, rip skin, sandpaper your heels (literally) and how they use their own nails to dig into yours and contort your hands in uncomfortable and unnatural ways. All that to say- it seems like they have some regulars, they're the most friendly to those customers. But from what I've seen, these people are getting something really basic and I guess they tolerate the abuse. Maybe they don't know there are other places out there that are gentle and calming. I have attached photos of what I asked for vs what I got. And it left me feeling like- am I color blind? Are they? My nails were messed up so bad I had to wait an additional 45 mins for the most experienced tech to attempt to gaslight me that the plum and brown cat eye were the same thing. At that point I just agreed to gtfo of there and quickly booked my color change at my usual spot. I made the mistake of not wanting to wait for my usual tech, thought I could just get a quick color change, but I was sorely disappointed. I'm never going back.

My mom's toe got infected after her pedicure. It was red and swollen with pus coming out, she went…read moreto ask if she can soak her foot in the tub with the barbicide disinfectant they have at the salon because she read that would help. She wasn't asking for a refund or anything else from them. They right away got defensive and said it was her fault that it got infected. She took a video of her interaction with the manager Lillies and I wish I could post it on here because she was very rude and openly said she was not taking responsibility for this. I don't think they disinfect and sanitize their tools properly. I understand that things like this can happen but the way they handled this situation after my mom went to address it with them is unacceptable. Customers be aware!
