Friendly Nail Spa lives up to its name and then some! The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. Yen did my gel pedicure, and it was gorgeously done, my feet are so soft, and she took such great care with every detail. Minh did my gel French tip manicure, and it turned out absolutely beautiful, clean lines, perfect shape, and super polished. The space is immaculate, airy, and smells wonderful, which instantly puts you in relaxation mode. And their prices are fantastic, which makes it so easy to keep up with regular nail care without breaking the bank. If you're looking for skilled techs, a relaxing atmosphere, and flawless results--this is the place to go!
I wanted a French tip with a white bow and rhinestone. There was some disconnect between that and the design I received, so I wish I had been more communicative and stopped or redirected the service. The polish was not evenly applied and was spotty in a couple places. Additionally, no top coat was applied so the nails began to become damaged soon after the end of the service. While the tech was friendly and the establishment is cute and clean, I paid $55 but wish the application experience was nicer as these were supposed to be special occasion nails.
Yen did not listen to customer request to NOT cut the side of big toe causing pain and discomfort for many days
I had my nails done on Friday. Black with a gold glitter design. Gel polish, which cost extra! By Sunday, two nails were peeling. Went to the salon and had them repaired. By Monday another nail was peeling however, the Nail Tech did my nails wasn't there until Tuesday. So I go in on Tuesday morning to explain what was going on and I am told sometimes the black does that?!?! If black gel polish always peels why or how really for that matter could or would you upsell someone $20 for gel polish if it's not even gonna last a week? Fast-forward to Tuesday the lady that did my nails seems irritated because I'm there for the repair. Mind u the nails are for my boyfriend's 50th birthday party! Pretty big event! Back to her being irritated she's extremely rough cut my finger blames it on me not using the stupid half a Pool noodle that she uses to stabilize your arm while doing Services in a "professional "nail salon and then is so rude and dismissive!!! She HAD a LOYAL client!!! NOT ANYMORE!!
How funny, I just re-read my review of this salon (which had autocorrected to 'salmon!" How embarrassing; I can see how to change it, either). This place still tops all others in the area for their superb service! I get a detox gel pedicure pretty much every month and it is worth every penny! There are several nail techs who do a great job, Min gives my favorite massages and my toes always come out perfectly!
This is my favorite nail salon in Sparks...maybe even in Nevada! These ladies are so nice, and they work so hard. They do such an amazing job every time I'm there. I absolutely love them!! The space itself is unassuming on the outside but on the inside, its an oasis of relaxation. The smells...calm and peaceful...immediately make me feel at ease when I walk in. It's always clean and tidy. I never worry when I'm there. The service is amazing. I always call beforehand just to see if I can get in. I never ever wait!! I've been there 20+ times and not once have I waited for longer than a few minutes. The owner is so sweet, and she always takes extra special care of any guest I bring - my daughter or my mom. She always takes great care of us. I could go on and on about all of the nail techs because each is amazing but Lam is the nicest! But today, I met Lala and she did the cutest hand painted design on my nails. I'm so ready for the beach because she took so much time making my design beautiful. I loved it! Friendly Nails is the best!! I highly recommend them!
I'm so saddened by my experience here today! I was a walk in, visiting from out of town and wanted to get my nails filled in between errands. The initial service was a little rough, bending my fingers and digging her nail into my skin. But - whatever I know it's hard to do art on finger nails so I didn't say anything. Then she does my fill. And I say "oh, um- my fill didn't go to my cuticles". She said she used something clear and not to worry when she painted it would look filled. I've been getting my nails done since I was 16 (39 now) and never had that experience- but honestly I figured I'd trust the process and see if maybe her "style" was different than I expected. As long as they looked nice at the end I'd be happy. She finished filing them and then starts to apply paint. And they look AWFUL. The paint doesn't go to my cuticle - it ends at the fill and I have a gap looking like 1-2 weeks of outgrowth. I point this out to her she says it's fine. I ask her to stop and I tell her how it looks like I already need a fill and she just straight up says "nope" and keeps saying she put a "clear coat" on my nails, that's why I can still see them? She eventually gets someone else (I'm figuring the owner?) they speak for a few minutes and then the owner starts telling me they look fine, that the original lady will fix them. But the original lady doesn't think they look bad (she's told me several times how great they look) and I tell the owner I no longer want the service performed by her and I will pay a bit for the materials used on me but that I am done and leaving. The og nail lady tries to charge me $35! I gave her $10 and left. I already scheduled an appt with my nail gal at home. Moral of the story- don't cheat on your nail girl and do NOT go to this place for a fill. Terrible service.
This place is great! Clean, fast and a great variety of services! I have been to a few places that have left my nails thinner then paper and uneven lengths. This place is definitely the best yet! Lam is my favorite tech! She knows her stuff! The pricing is reasonable! I totally recommend this place. I personally have gotten different pedicures and nail dip and gel polish! Love them all!
My daughter and I did an impromptu pedicure. Staff was accommodating and did a great job. They offered something to drink (soda or water) prior to starting the pedicure. We both got the jelly pedicure which was unique and felt awesome. The massage chairs are great too. The establishment is super clean.
I don't need to say much you can look at the pictures but first I asked for color ombre at the top into White. She refused to do that because she said it wouldn't grow out right which I did didn't care for because it was only for a special event. But she was very forceful so I just gave up. Then she rushed through it, which resulted in having a lot of acrylic buildup around the nails which you can see in the picture. I pointed out a big blob on my yellow thumb and she tried to rip it off, which ripped off skin too, so I didn't point out the other others, but you can see them in the picture. She complimented me on not being rude, but this was my result so..... I I'm now assuming your other customers were not rude. They were trying to give you honest feedback.

Super quick and beautifully done! My mom is a regular here so I decided to go with her. Loved the cat-eye, I just got them redone, there was ONE chip that occurred yesterday but other than that they lasted 4 weeks!!! Nice and funny people! The place was pretty big too and clean! read more

I went here with a friend for end of year pedicures instead of doing my own gel pedi for once. Doing them myself, they'll last 6+ weeks with no lifting. It's been 1 week today and I already have lifting on both of my big toes. Very annoying but this is the exact reason why I normally do my own at home for free. Also, I got a French pedi and the white is REALLY thick but I'd already asked them to thin it twice and I didn't know how to speak up without sounding rude (thanks autism), so I already knew it wasn't a design I loved but I could live with it in the winter when nobody's really going to see it anyway. The lifting gives an opportunity for nail health disasters so I'm taking them off soon bc that's the real issue. If I didn't know (and do) good nails, I would've been happy with what I got which is why I'm giving 3 stars. If you're looking for a long-lasting pedi, this is probably not be the place your search leads you to. Also, my friend made an appointment for 12:30 and we were still waiting at 12:50 so we had to reschedule so grab a fun snack and drink before coming if you do schedule an appointment! I would normally take a star off for that too, but the staff was nice and the place was clean (: read more
Pretty typical salon experience. Made appointment in the morning for 10:30 got in no problem. I opted for the #2 pedi which included massage and hot towels which I love, it was $10 more than a regular pedi. I wanted regular polish as I like to be able to remove it myself. My tech tried to talk me into gel but I declined. My friend was already there when I arrived so we sat together to chat. I felt like my service was pretty rushed and the techs talked to each other in their native language occasionally asking how we were or if we wanted water. We were done in less than 40 minutes and my tech left me to start on another client and when I was dry I had to remove the foam pads between my toes. Then she came over to take my payment. Needless to say I only left a10% tip. My toes look nice and if you don't care about the personal touch they did ok. read more

Friendly Nails & Spa was very accommodating with their schedule. Upon walking in for our appointment, we were seated right away. I found their spa to be very spacious and clean. There were a good amount of seats filled, but I always appreciate when they space us out. They had a variety of color samples to choose from and the foot service itself was great. I did the middle package in which there is a soak, I chose lavendar and found it very relaxing. It's nice that it's nearby and they take later appointments. My nail technician was very nice, and they had Madonna videos going on their TV which was cool. I will definitely come back to Friendly Nails for another nail treatment. read more

I went in this morning to get a pedicure. And I forgot her name, but she did an excellent job. I paid for the jelly pedi and it included everything. I guess it came to almost $80. The massages were amazing. I mean really amazing. I got a gel color and my toes look great !!! my calluses removed. Very relaxing. I made another appointment for Friday to get my nails done. Very happy so far. read more

I treated both myself and a friend to a gel manicure. My daughter recommended this place as she had past pedicures. Upon arrival, I explained I wanted to remove to remove my existing gel acrylics and just get a gel manicure. They directed me to a female manicurist and my friend to a male. After my manicurist attempted to drill the polish off, she noticed the acrylics underneath. She tried to tell me I needed a fill. I explained I didn't want the nails on even though it was time for a fill. Once she understood, they talked amongst themselves in their native language, followed by disgusted looks. I was told I needed to switch with my friend, so I went willingly. One at the new station, the male aggressively grabbed my hand and began to clip my length away and then used a fake nailed to rip away the existing partial acrylic. When they nail wouldn't come off in areas, he kept aggressively sliding the fake nail under and eventually ripping the nail off one by one. Each time when I thought the pain couldn't get any worse but each time I yanked my hand back and announced, that hurt really bad. He just waited for me to put my hand back and did the same process on the second and third and each time I became more assertive and even said " that F'ing hurts" and told him I can see a thick layer of my actual nail bed being ripped up. He replied "Oh it is stuck." I told him this is supposed to be a relaxing and a pampering treatment, but my nails feel like they were bleeding. He never tried to drill a layer or any other method. After he ripped the pinky nail off tearing yet another deep layer, I yelled enough.... this is the most painful experience, and that still F' ING HURTS!" I asked if they no longer attempt to soak them off or drill them down before removing them. he responded with, " Oh, you want soaK? Ok $20 more. I told him if that would save me pain and my nail beds, then yes! He had already cut all my length off, trying to remove them with the fake nail. I wanted to argue the fact that it should only be $10 because he just yanked the ones off on my left hand But I didn't. I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE JUST WALKED OUT AT THAT POINT, and trust me, I wanted to. I didn't want to ruin my friend's pampering and overall experience. After the soaking began, more of the manicurist came by speaking their language and would look my way and0 laugh. My guy never said anything to me until the end when he was surely trying to work on a tip. He charged me $55. I paid $90 overall as my friends. wad $35. My left hand nail beds are still sore. My cuticles are tore up. I am 52 years old and have a high pain tolerance. This was the worst manicure and nail removal I have ever had. The pictures below do not do it justice, but hopefully, I can deter someone else from being a victim. After leaving and sharing my experience with my friend in the car, she confessed she was relieved when they had us switch. She explained she had that guy do a manicure yhe last time, and he was rude and rough. I might add too just before leaving, we overheard other manicurist offering their guest wine, water, or soda. Neither of us got offered even a drop of water. read more

Came here after it was highly recommended by friends. Long story short, I paid for the most expensive pedicure but didn't get the treatments that were supposed to be apart of it. My nails were clipped so short they bled. One of heels was scrubbed until it bled. I came trying to relax and ending up leaving in pain- $120 later :( read more
