If I could give 0 stars I would. I called to ask if they would be able to remove gel-x from my hands and gel from my toes. The lady ASKED ME when I wanted to come, I said I could come in 20 minutes and she said okay. When I arrived at the nail salon I was asked how they could help me and when I told them they said "oh we can't now, can you come back tomorrow". I stated that I had called. And the woman said "oh you called" and began speaking with the other ladies without addressing me again. I stood there but decided to let them know that it was okay. There were flies flying around and just stale air in there. I had a feeling on why I all of sudden I would not be served but that's fine. I don't overstay my welcome and deal with nonexistent customer service. My money spends just as well as the next person. read more

Just had an awesome pedicure by Mimi. Make an appointment with Mimi and you will thank me!!

Extremely disappointing. I was handed a few racks to choose a nail color and picked out the color for my nails and said I wanted the same for my toes. They did my toes first and it was the color I selected however when they did my dip fingernails it was a totally different color. I made mention and they scrambled to find a color to repaint my toes to match my nails. I would never pick the color they put on my nails! I paid anyway and it was way more than I expected as I wasn't told the up price of dip versus the gel I went in to get. I left and was so upset I called to talk to the owner from my car and they told me she wasn't there when I could see her standing in the window, so they lied to me and altho I went back in asking for a credit she blamed me for complaining about this ten years ago. So obviously they are still not giving you what you pick out. I will never return as no one wants to be deceived or lied to and besides the place is filthy. I only went back bc I needed to get in right away. read more

Very poor service. Owner is happy to rush through a client without caring about the quality of work they actually give.

I made an appointment for gel mani and regular pedi over the phone the week of and it was very easy to get the date/time I wanted. I actually ended up getting there about half an hour early and they were able to accommodate me easily but were steady busy, mostly with walk-ins. The staff was all very nice. Anna did my mani first and did a fine enough job, but kept having to stop to take care of other things like answering the phone, checking someone out, or greeting new customers. I unfortunately also bled from one of my cuticles. I don't remember the name of the person who did my pedicure, but she did a good job and was less distracted. $67 for regular pedicure and gel manicure with a $2 card fee. Overall a pretty average experience, but I would come back in a pinch. read more

On thursday 2/20/25 for the first time This was a birthday present from my mother. Within one day one nail was already broken off, fast forward to today 2/24/25 i am down two more. The thing is for $85 and 3 hours of work, it's ridiculou. I will never go back. It is not worth the money, i've paid less for way more. Another thing was there prices they have listed IN the shop is not what they are actually charging. Their sign said $12 for eye brow wax, she comes back with a receipt saying $14. They try to upsell you on extra upgrades without mentironing a price. All around bad experience read more

Friendly staff and very polite. Limited color selection compared to other salons, but good enough as my preference is for Jess decision making. If you pay with cash, you avoid the $2 service fee. Good to know up front. Got the basic manicure, which is...very basic. No hand cream, massages, nail dryer, etc. Within an hour of leaving, two of my nails bubbled up and slipped down resulting in a wrinkly look :/ read more

I've been to this place a few times and have done gel. I did dip nails once before here, and it was good. So, I decided to do it again, but this time wasn't good. My cuticle beds are a mess. The employees here are nice but my person this time seemed distracted and in a hurry. read more

When making an appointment they are usually fast and easy to accommodate. The staff is nice and the pedicures always look great.

So, so, so conflicted on this one. First, the bad - this salon isn't great in terms of hygiene. The wrist rests on the manicure station are all ripped and cracked with the padding substrate exposed (shudders). Tools aren't autoclaved or disinfected much at all - merely sprayed with some alcohol. There's nail dust everywhere. Files and buffers - oh yeah, you know those are reused.... Now you're probably thinking "JT, this sounds like a place you would have run screaming from and gone home to bathe in hand sanitizer" and you'd generally be right. BUT - my actual manicure is ON POINT. Sure, it was a no frills experience but my nails look goddamn amazing. My tech was lightning fast and I have nary a smudge or drop of polish on any cuticle. Seriously, in terms of results - best mani ever. And my tech was super sweet - just really enjoyable to be around. She joked a little and ended up steering me toward a polish that looked better with my skin tone than the one I had chosen. AND they're $10 cheaper than the the other local places (which are nicer but still...) I don't know if it's rude for me to bring my own toolkit? Because if that's kosher, I'd definitely go back because the results are great and the people are really nice. read more

this is not my normal place. I made an appointment because my regular was booked up and this was kind of last minute. I thought it was odd when I called made an appointment last minute but they didn't ask my name or phone number, but OK. I walked in and my first impression was good. They welcomed me and acted like they actually wanted me to be there as a customer as opposed to some placesI've been to. They were polite and welcoming. I was having a manicure, and they proceeded - so far so good. At the point where I was told to go wash my hands which is normal. The person who is doing my nails, came up beside me saw my feet in sandals, and said we can do a pedicure too. That is not what I wanted. I said no thank you not right now. I got back to my chair she proceeded with doing my nails. Everything was fine. Even have a TV which I like. Then out of nowhere, she said something about how I don't clean my eyebrows? I was a little taken aback by the comment because I think my eyebrows are absolutely fine. They are not strangely geometric like some these days, but they are good natural shape, not unruly or thick. I said I don't know what you mean and she said you clean your own brows? And I said, I really don't know what you mean and left it at that. Then she inferred that I needed to have my eyebrows done which I really didn't want. - there's a lot of good in the situation however, the couple of times that I was asked about my toes and my eyebrows. Kind of judgy. I really didn't care for that. I would have to have a pedicure there also to see what I think because often times that's a determining factor. You can tell a lot more about the cleanliness of a place during a pedicure. quite frankly, I think all of the local establishments are a little bit lacking in some area or another and I've learned to put up with that. Getting my nails done is a necessary evil to look neat and presentable as well as professional. If I could do them this, while myself I would. This place is fine. Not great. Not bad. read more

I only come for a pedicure & I only get a pedicure for Noy. She is very thorough & meticulous. I don't feel rushed. I always make an appointment because she is always busy. The place is very clean the staff is very friendly. read more

More Photo 1 in review by Sydni Hicks 2 Porscha Hall 3 reviews I went into the salon on multiple occasions in the past and usually they are professional and accommodating towards me and my family. The prices for a mani pedi combo are reasonable and I generally don't have to wait long to be serviced. This was all great in the past experiences however, today I took my daughter and 4 of her close friends aged 9-10 for Regular kid manicures that are priced at $7 I specifically told the woman I was getting the girls $7 manicures to ensure I could afford all 5 children. As it's my daughter's birthday and she wanted something more expensive which I was quoted at $50. On an adult she told me it's actually $55 but would only charge me $50 due to it being her birthday. Upon payment the woman says my total is $120 dollars!! So confused I said perhaps there has been a mistake because I asked for $7 manicures for the 4 girls when I walked in the door as I have asked everytime I've gotten my daughter and other girls nails painted there in the past and even left tips. The woman insisted I asked for $17 per person manicures for 9 year olds? That's ridiculous we had a discussion about the product and price, I asked her where was the miscommunication because I specifically told her what I wanted.$7 per child clear as day. Even I as an adult don't pay $17 for my own manicures. She was dismissive and rude and began to have conversations amongst her staff pertaining to me and my guests in her native language. The children even informed me that there was a conversation about why she was getting the more expensive nails done and my daughter told her how old she was turning it was a special occasion and the nails were the length of her real nails. I maintained my demeanor and said ok and paid. But I knew she intentionally did this to force extra $10 tips for her employees which is not a good business practice. She also told an adult that entered the shop 30 minutes later getting her nails done was $50 so I realized she did not give me the any discount for the actual price of $55. This is the regular amount originally for the more expensive nails my daughter asked for this time. I was recommending this nail salon to everyone but I don't appreciate the way she handled the situation and how she began to speak poorly and got cringy stares from staff as if I was trying to change what I asked for on a regular basis over the last 4 years for little girls. I also realized she charged me more than I owed because it was actually $118 in total not $120. I'll definitely find another place that is honest and forthcoming about charges. Price lists posted in a book or on the wall. I'm very detail oriented as you can read here so I know this woman was playing the retail game many business owners play on consumers. Treat people right and good things happen you never have to lie or mislead for success! read more

Just got a pedicure here this afternoon. Making an appointment was quick and easy, customer service was beyond expectation. And once I got there...Wow! My technician spent over an hour on my feet and they look and feel amazing. I am definitely a returning customer. read more

Unfortunately I had a horrible experience here and will not be coming back! I asked for a basic dip manicure and the man who did my nails took almost two hours (because he was talking the whole time) and made me bleed on about 4 of my fingernails/fingers. When I returned to my car, I noticed my fingers were filled with small cuts on them from him filing them so hard. When asked for a partial refund or money back, all they offered was a $10 off next time lol. He did a good job and was super friendly but I will not be returning. read more

very unhappy with my nails, I did not get what I asked for. very clearly showed photos and explained that I wanted --natural looking extensions NOT French tips. and I got French tips. very disappointing, upsetting actually. I asked to do a test now to make sure it would turn out right, and they said that wasn't possible. So now I have a full set of nails that I don't like for $75, and I was too upset to say anything bc I didn't want to break down crying in the salon read more

This place has gone downhill. Used files, no sanitation, colors are jumbled, stations are stained, and tools are in a shared basket. The baribisol is cloudy. I had one gel manicure in March and they drilled my nails so thin Vs letting them soak, I'm still trying to grow out splitting nails 4 months later. read more

They are nice, especially the ring leader, but they whole place is filthy. There was crud on every single surface. And it was really hot in there. I couldn't wait to get out of there praying I didn't catch anything. Also quite expensive. read more

After trying to go to the nail salon Tip to Toe in Wauwatosa and being turned away because they had no one in the salon capable of doing a fill I stumbled upon Finest Nails across the street.

So I paid $75 for a full set of nails. NP of they would've been done properly. My thumbs don't match up. First they don't cover the whole nail, second ones thicker than the other. Back home they take their time making sure all my nails are perfect b4 I leave. I usually spend $100 considering the nail art and rhinestones plus tip. They're very basic in designs. I won't be going back. Unfortunately I didn't really notice until I got home. Although she was friendly; way too much going on at one time. Sorry but the 3 stars is only for CS; not the actually work. read more

I was dropping off my dry cleaning and stumbled upon this place and I thought I would give it a chance. However, I will not be going back. The nail techs were extremely unfriendly. I barely got a hello. The only conversation was for me to buy more services and to pay. It also seemed dirty. I was uncomfortable and couldn't wait to leave. Nothing seemed sanitized. Another thing to note, that they are super fast. Manicure and pedicure was done in 30 minutes combined. I had lots of nail polish all over my hand due to the rushing. It was a really bad experience. After this, I will never go into another nail salon without reading reviews. read more

I haven't had my nails done in some time and stopped by for a full set without an appt. I was happy they could fit me in but knew I might not be getting the best set if that was possible on short notice. The people were pretty nice. My manicurist was silent the entire time...kind of awkward. The shape of my nails are all over the place and not even. I probably will go somewhere else for my fills and try to get them to look a little better. It's hard to notice they aren't even until it's done and I didn't feel like complaining and waiting around longer to try to have it fixed. Then manicurist tables were grungy. read more

I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could. You get what you pay for here, I guess? Nail tech was friendly, but don't expect anything but basic from the basic pedicure. For one, it was the fastest pedicure ever. And no massage. Which is pretty much the main reason I pay someone to paint my toenails.... Everything was fine...but I will continue my search for a better pedicure in my neighborhood. read more

EH. Some trips are great others are not. It's completely hit or miss. Some technicians don't take your requests seriously. They will cut too short, won't fix flaws. Some are terrific. They're quick and the price is moderate. read more

This place was super easy. I was a walk in and didn't have to wait. I got the mani pedi combo for $38. Can't go wrong with that price! I had only an hour total and asked if they could make that work. They did and gave me extra time to dry my nails. The Polish did not chip after one week. I was very happy with my experience and will go again. No complaints. This is a great place for a walk in. It isn't fancy or anything but it gets the job done and quickly. read more

I went for a regular mani/pedi. $38. I had a great experience! Everyone was very friendly.

I've had a mix I guess. Today, pedi was blah at best. Barely touched my legs during "massage," never offered chair controls, and the person next to me had the most disgusting feet I've ever seen (not the salons fault, but nearly lost my breakfast). Hit or miss. If you can get the right tech, it's been great. Today's lady was a disappointment. (My toes do look pretty good tho) read more

I absolutely love this place. I just left finest nails-I opted for the deluxe mani (she even threw in the hot stone massage for free, without me inquiring about it), a shellac manicure, and an eyebrow wax. I had Tina, and she's amazing. She's very polite and did a completely perfect job. The deluxe manicure is more than worth it, their is definitely more bang for your buck than other places around. Shellac manicure is also impeccable-they don't try to upsell you on anything and have millions of colors. The 10% student discount, another great bonus. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Nails always chip with in a week. I had previously sworn off this place but was in a rush so I went there again. Nails chip the next day!!! Absolutely ridiculous. Can't say I'm shocked as the woman doing my nails was too busy directing customers, staff and answer the phone to do a thorough job. Never going back! read more

Went here recently for a no chip mani and a pedi. The no chip mani was done pre-vacation which was my reason for going. Well, I went too early since it lasted only six days before beginning to peel. On day seven my index finger polish completely peeled off (it had begun to peel day before), and then it snagged on my purse and was done. Also did the pedi pre-vacation. While trimming around my nail, the woman doing my pedi actually cut into my skin causing it to bleed. Fortunately, I used antibacterial ointment and peroxide and did not get an infection. The polish itself became dull within a week and now, not even two weeks later, already looks old and needs to be redone. I would suggest to not try this place if you want the value for your money vs a quick fix. read more

Called at 6 to see if I could get an appointment for mani-pedi.We agreed on 6:40, but when I arrived at 6:35 The whole place was shut down.

I just had the worst experience at Finest Nails. I went there with a friend because she went there regularly and I am not very picky about nail salons. I got a man who seemed a little off, but did not want to be rude so I just went with it. However after he was "finished" with my nails I noticed some nails looked wavy, and gel polish should not look wavy. So I pointed it out to him and he tried to wipe some more alcohol on it and it instead wiped the color right off. So, he redid the nails in question. Then, I got a pedicure. During my pedicure he dropped some of the exfoliating cream on the ground and picked it up and put it on my leg! Ew! While I was waiting for my toes to dry under the dryer I start to look at my fingernails some more and notice others are wavy and I start to pull on them and the nail polish moves around and comes off. I got the attention of the lady who seemed to be in charge and she was very apologetic. So she took me back over (this is after being here over 1.5 hours and having some nails redone once already) and starts to wrap my fingers and take it all back off. I tried to tell her that two on each hand were already redone but she wanted to fix it all (which I appreciate the thought of). So I had to sit around for another 5-10 to let the nail polish remover soak. Then she started taking it all off and all the nails that had not been redone slid right off but the ones that had were gelled on so she had to let it sit longer and in the mean time had to file all of the base coat off. (Turns out each of the nail colors they use comes with a plain nail polish and a gel and he put the regular on my nails instead of the gel). Long story short, I said just remove it, I need to go home, I want a refund. She said "Ok I'll refund you $25" and I asked "How much is a gel manicure" and she said they were $35, but I got my nails shaped and all and that is $15. And I told her I had wasted a lot of time here and wanted a full refund and she obliged. Then on a side note, someone who was a friend of the family or something and was hanging around loudly called one of the workers a "B****" right in front of myself and another customer, very unprofessional. Obviously I will not be returning and encourage you to take heed. read more
