They were very aggressive and the lady was going over multiple times for no reason when my nails were pretty much done

I like the booking experience nailing down a pretty precise time (yes things can run early/late)…read morebut having those planned times in mind is SUPER helpful when running around trying to squeeze in a nail appointment that you aren't sure if you have time for or not. I hate at other places when make a resy and they say yes they have time but then you get there and they just have you sit in the pedi chair waiting for 20min. As far as the actual pedicure and manicure experience, all of my 3 visits have gone super well and I loved my nails. I have a fingernail that is a little odd shaped bc of an injury and they accommodate it really well and no complaints on my pedi! Will continue to go here now as my go-to spot!

I really WANT to love BeeQ. And I've had fantastic service there, specifically from Phoebe, who is…read morea nail art magician. She is so friendly and efficient with her time, and is wonderful at making nail art dreams come true. On the rare occasion I treat myself to a fancy manicure, I would absolutely go back to Phoebe! However -- whenever I risk booking with ANY other technician, the experience is always lackluster. I've had technicians awkwardly squabble over who 'has' to do my nails. I've had technicians rip into my cuticles so hard they bleed. When I went in recently for a gel manicure soak-off, they just haphazardly dipped my fingers in acetone and sent me on my way. My nails looked awful and my skin peeled for days afterward, to the point where my hands looked diseased. I personally won't come back here unless I'm specifically booking with Phoebe, who really is amazing.

If you could have a top shelf experience for nails, this is it! It's no frills nail care done with…read morehigh-quality products and skillful attention to detail. I was in Ann Arbor for a few days and wanting to get a pedicure. I'd mentally resolved that I would not be able to get my nails done on a Sunday. However, I went down State Street to grab some lunch. As I exited the restaurant with my to go order in hand, I looked up and saw the nail sign on in an upstairs window across the street. It took me a while to find the right door to go into to get to the nail salon; however, I was successful. You enter in a small door that's nestled between a couple of businesses and have to take the stairs up to the second floor, where Athena Nails is located (along with some other small businesses). I went in half expecting them to actually be closed (despite the sign being on), or unavailable to take me at that time. I have my lunch in hand and needed to be back at my hotel in about 80 minutes. I was shocked when the woman said that she could take me immediately, but I readily agreed. It's a suite space, so there were two pedicure chairs, and 2 or 3 individual nail stations. One pedicure chair was already occupied, so I took the second. I only use regular polish on my natural nails (no gel, SNS, or acrylics). Even though I'd noted this at intake, I had to clarify this once in the chair as the experience seemed, we were headed for gel polish. Once clarified, my nail technician quickly, switched gears and went to collect colors that were close to the shade. I chosen from the options originally provided. I was surprised to see that the regular polishes were all from a luxury brand (Hermès) but it made the slightly higher price I was quoted make sense. I see the experience is no frills, because it was just a straight pedicure. None of the extra add-ons that lots of nail shops offer these days. No paraffin wax or hot stones or scented waters; no massage chairs; etc. The chair did have a basin for hot water to sit your feet in, but it didn't do anything special. The technician cared for my nails, painted them, applied some special oils to them, and then lotioned my feet. I was able to eat my lunch (a salad) as she worked. I got out of there on time to get back to my hotel. Once I got to my hotel, I was able to change clothes without ruining my pedicure. It was completely dry with just the products she used. I didn't need time with my feet under a fan or anything else. Here's the kicker: I am now, two weeks out from this experience, and my polish still looks fresh. My toe nails are just now starting to show the first sign of even growing out the tiniest bit. If I lived locally, I'd patronize this place again and again.

This is a hidden gem of a nail salon on State! I received a basic gel manicure with Alice and she…read morewas professional, kind, and detailed. It was a little on the pricier side but all of the products she used were high quality and the end result was exactly as I hoped. Highly recommend.

Foxy Nails is very hit or miss... Sometimes a 2 and other times a 4, so I will settle on a 3-star…read morereview. I suppose that I could ensure 4-star experiences by scheduling in advance with one of the better technicians, but needing an appointment seems like a reason to just go to a better salon somewhere else. The benefit of going to a mid to low end nail salon located in a mall is the convenience of not needing an appointment. Therefore, when I am in need of an unscheduled mani/pedi, I will continue to play roulette, and take a gamble on Foxy Nails. Foxy nails has a huge selection of regular and gel polishes. I have not seen anyone getting nail art here, so I am not sure if it is offered. The cleanliness is OK. The overall condition has definitely deteriorated over the past few years with raggedy towels and tired massage chairs. Technicians do, however, use sealed tools and wear gloves, so I never feel like the salon is a health risk.

Unfortunately, tonight was my last night at Foxy Nails. I wanted to like them, I really did. I…read morepushed through all the wait times and mediocre chairs because the people were nice and I felt like they were the best combination of value and craft that I could get in the Ann Arbor area. Sadly, like the other reviews note, their time management is poor and waits can exceed an hour. Tonight I waited 90 minutes, and I wasn't the only one. So, I had an important once-in-a-lifetime event I wanted to be at @ 6pm. I walked in at 330. I'm only getting a fill-in on my acrylics with no design, one color, should take about an hour. I didn't leave Foxy Nails until 6:05pm. In one of my photos below, you can see that AFTER TWO HOURS I HAD NO POLISH. !#* two hours!*#% Like many others say, the floor can be a bit dirty. And yes, some of the buttons on the chairs are missing. No more pity for them, I'm done.

The music was kind of a KPop Demon Hunters, Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor mix. The lighting is pleasant and the space itself is just SO BIG. The size of the location and the big windows and high ceilings meant that it didn't smell at all and felt very glamorous. I went with two other people for the standard pedicure. They have alcoves of chairs and can probably do 20+ pedis at a time if they have enough staff because it's so big. Each alcove has 3 chairs facing 3 chairs and so my group had no issue chatting between ourselves. If it was a bday party or bridal shower with 6 people, I think the alcove would give it a cozy vibe of togetherness. The space was super clean, chairs looked new, bathroom was tidy and well appointed, and the place just kind of screamed luxe. The service itself was ALSO luxe so the prices seemed totally reasonable to me. Very professional staff and you can schedule to see particular people if you become a loyal customer (I probably would if 1) I lived her and 2) I didn't like doing my own nails). They absolutely delivered on what I wanted, which was to get some excellent foot care in the winter and spend some quality time getting pampered. Great value for the $$!

The place was a little messy, but it seemed like they had just started rearranging things. The chair was comfortable, water hot, and the lady helping me was really nice. Overall, my pedicure was a great experience. They took their time because they were slow, which made the experience even better. The paint job was also really good. The price was reasonable as well, especially for how long they spent. I will definitely stop back in.

I was greeted right away and the tech was available within a few minutes. The front was very clean and tidy. Things went downhill after that. The work station of the tech who did my nails was filthy - covered with dusty and crust. The longer I sat there, the more I saw and the more frustrated I felt. Tools like nippers for cuticles seemed to have been used on other customers with old cuticle on them. I'm so embarrassed that I didn't get up and leave. The tech used an efile to tear up my nail beds and then buffed them out anyway. This seemed to be a substitute for actually cleaning the old regular nail polish off. The nail polish application was sloppy with the tech applying way too much for each layer. No base coat was used, so my nail beds will be stained now. This tech applied the polish like it's gel and not like it's ordinary nail polish that needs to air dry. It's got bubbles and streaks and is cracking where the top doesn't quite cover the color. Especially strange was that I was asked to pay and tip before my service was finished. I won't be going back and I wouldn't recommend.
