I'm not even going to waste my breath on the story of the owner making excuses for this work. To say the least, my nails seriously look awful.

If I could do no stars I definitely would. I went here to get a fill-in and wish that I never had. Three days after getting my nails done here my nail polish looks like I've had my nails done for over three weeks and my thumb nail has broken Down the middle. When I went to talk to them to see if it was anything they could do since it had only been a few days and this was clearly not my fault they acted as if it was nothing they could do and as if they didn't care about losing a customer.

I'm not sure what happened but my nails are completely botched. The first time I had my nails done here it was great, a man did my mani and pedi. This time around I was helped by a woman who completely ruined my nails. She filed my nails down to nothing and the filing wasn't even at all. Not to mention, she got dip powder all over my fingers and didn't clean them up. I paid because I didn't notice how bad my nails were until I got home.

I have been coming here for a year now. The people here are like a big family and they work hard to know your name and make you feel cared for. My schedule is variable and I have always been able to get a same day appointment. The shellac manicure lasts me at least 2 weeks. They are clean, kind, and really a gem of a nail salon.

I went in for a Pedicure and manicure and the young girl forgot to close my nail polish bottle and it spilled on my black leather. They were so rude when I returned for assistance on what to use. No suggestions were given instead they blamed me for it. I will never return here. read more

Love this salon! I randomly found it and decided to treat myself to a manicure and pedicure. My nail tech was so friendly and did an excellent job. I was super stressed that day, so it was very nice to relax! Absolutely loved the deluxe pedi with the foot scrub and lotion. I will definitely be coming back to get shellac and other services frequently. Prices were very fair. Important note: Great Nails sanitizes well and follows Covid precautions! read more

I just moved to the Royal Oak area and have been having a hard time finding a good nail salon. This was NOT the place. I get my nails done every two weeks and I have Never seen nails done so terrible. I got a simple acrylic set, and they came out all different sizes, the acrylic is all dried under neath the tips, the nail polish is not even painted nicely. Not to mention they were completely over priced and took an hour and a half!!. I tipped just for the sake of Karma, but I will NEVER be returning. read more

I had a fill and pedicure here and there were just ok. Not terrible by any means but not the best I've had either. Everyone is really nice and the location is great, but the entire experience left me wanting something better. I would give extra stars for the Hot Stone pedicure, but the quality of toe polish skill left much to be desired - I had too much polish on my cuticles to really consider it a "good job." I would recommend it if you are in a hurry, but unfortunately I cannot make this my go-to place. read more

let me preface this review by saying that I am not a "princess" - I am a reasonable client who prides myself on always being on time. I called 3 days ahead to make an appointment for 10:30 am. I was informed that it must be 10:00 or 11:00 . I chose 11:00 because I once had had a 10:00 and the owners were 15 minutes late due to traffic. (Understandable - but I moved on ), I decided to never make a 10:00 again for that very reason. In any case, I arrived promptly at 11:00 for my appointment and the female owner was very "snarky" and confronted me stating that my appointment was for 10:00. I responded that there must have been a mix-up - I was sure it was for 11:00. She continued with a very confrontational attitude showing me how she had written 10:00 in her book. I said that I was sorry for the confusion ( never conceding the error - whoever was at fault) and asked if they could still accommodate me. ( let me also mention that there was only one client in the shop at the time- under the drying ledge ), She " harrumphed" and stalked off to let the gentleman do the pedicure. I was in the shop for 45 minutes and during that time no other clients even came through the door. For her to be so unpleasant was uncalled for - it's not like they were backed up with other clients. There is a lot of competition in this field and after being treated so poorly, I can assure you that I will never darken their door again. read more

Okay so I want to say that as far as my manicure and pedicure went. They were very well done. What was not well done was they gave me a deluxe pedicure and manicure without asking me if that's what I wanted and charged me $ 5.00 extra for the "special" nail polish I choose which was not mentioned that it was special and more costly. So with tip it was $53.00 which is more than i have ever paid at a non spa salon. The funny thing is they made a big deal about this great nail polish that is suppose to last 7 days. Today is day 3 and it is chipping. I can't go back and have them fix it because I live out town, it was great service but they way over charged me in my opinion. I thought it would be $ 35.00 dollars and then tip. It was $ 45.00 plus tip. Way too much. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I received a mani-pedi and it was horrible. They must have had a young relative training in the shop and I was the unlucky victim. Her lack of experience showed in every aspect of the service.

Very nice and friendly... but mediocre if best for a full set of acrylics. I had to take the polish off and re file them when I got home. I know that a new full set isn't always perfect or even close to perfect, but this was beyond horrible. I had acrylic and glue all over my fingers and cuticles and the polish job was horrible.

I had visited this place a few times, and they had always done a pretty good job, although they're expensive. This time, the owner was doing a pedi on me with the Essie polish I had supplied. Apparently, the polish was getting thick and I requested that she add some thinner to it. She refused, saying she didn't have any. ??? Not surprisingly, the polish came our gloppy on my big toe. I asked her to re-do it. She refused, and was nasty, to boot. What an unpleasant experience! :-( read more

I stopped by here today to get a polish change and was pleasantly surprised. No, it isn't fancy by any means, but the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming and I didn't feel rushed in any way even though it was just a quick polish change.

I was so disgusted I told them I just wanted them to clean my nails and take my polish off on both my hands and my feet and not apply new polish.

He then tried to charge me $60 for the experience and I made him drop it to $40...which is still wildly overpriced for walking out with cuts and scrapes and uglier nails. Jeez thanks. NEVER GO HERE.
