Love my nails!
Laura N.

This was my first visit and I had the dip. I love how it turned out! So glad to have found this place and happy that Tee did my nails today. I highly recommend this shop.

I have always had positive experiences here! The whole staff is very kind and experienced, and my nails always come out looking great. On my most recent visit, I decided to try dip nails, and I was skeptical at first but I think they came out absolutely beautifully. They are on the pricier side, which is why I deducted a star, but a super convenient, great, local nail spot!

Nothing short about their service , quality and the vibe of their nail salon. First thing I recognized the smell of infused oil relaxing aromatherapy. We requested 5 different nail polish for manicure and pedicure, they could not be more patience and welcoming of our request. I messed up my toe after I left and I went back to ask if they could fix it and they were very happy to do so. It was our first time at Hands Down and I would definitely go back. Prices were not bad for a fancy town like Claremont.

I had never gotten dip powder before, this changed my mind forever!

Great and friendly service. I came here on a whim but it didn't disappoint. I got my toes and hands done and it was great.

Amazing work by Lena and my toes looked even better. Thanks to Kim! Can't wait to see you again Tracy!!!

Stephanie is the best! I now get gel manicures instead of dip. she does not disappoint. I never thought I would be able to go TWO To THREE WEEKS with gel (before I started to come to hands down salon, every time I got gel within that same day they would start to chip) but Stephanie does them so beautifully that my gel manicure last that long. highly recommend her (:

I love this place. They are very friendly and professional. It doesn't matter who you get they all do an amazing job. I am happy with my nails every time I go.

The experience was good, kind people lots of regulars. Very disappointed with how it came out though. Was fairly priced about $65 but I'm gonna have to go get them fixed because I didn't notice how uneven and fat looking they were until I left.

First time going in and I was not disappointed! I have tried three other salons before this one and never left satisfied. Customer service was absolutely top notch. I went in on a whim and had my 11wk old baby with me. Not only did they get me in right away, they were extremely accommodating when it came to me needing to hold my baby. They worked around what I needed and checked in frequently to make sure not only I was good but my daughter as well. I noticed as people walked in who were regulars, they knew everyone's name and greeted them so friendly. Stephanie started my dip manicure and T finished for her (they both did amazing!). I had a picture of what I wanted done and they made it happen! Kim did my pedicure and also did amazing and took her time. I even booked another appointment to come back. Highly recommend!

Okay I have literally never in my life written a yelp review, but I absolutely had to for this nail salon. Seriously one of the best experiences I've ever had getting my nails done. Everyone was SO kind and super helpful. Within the hour there, there were about 7 regulars that came in (which is always a great sign to me) and they all knew each other by name. Anyways, besides the incredibly kind people, my nails look BANGIN' and I love them. Exactly what I wanted. I tried dip for the first time and it looks amazing! Also added extensions. GO HERE!!!!

Chipped gel polish after 72 hours  $52 down the drain

I went here on a Friday afternoon, when my usual place had to close unexpectedly due to a family emergency. I walked in and was quickly accepted for an eyebrow wax, then waited about 10-15 minutes for a nail technician to do a gel fill. The technician, Hanah, did a good job overall, she took time & care to shape my nails in the coffin shape I had requested. Her fill technique was much different than my usual place, but they looked good when I left. Although, I felt like she was a little too rough will cuticles, I left with at least 4 fingers bleeding. The 1 star is due 2 things: - mostly that it has been just about 72 hours and the gel has already chipped. I've had gel for about 6 years now, and I have literally NEVER had it chip, even when I was working in a brewery/restaurant (I now work in an office). There is also A LOT of pitting and scuffing in the gel already. - second: the inability to tip on a card/Apple Pay. There was no sign, or if there was it wasn't obvious enough for someone who actually pays attention to detail to notice. When I asked the owner (who rang me up), she said, "there's an ATM behind you"...that costs $1.50 fee, and would require a debit card, which I did not have on me. I had intended on returning this week to tip, but now that I've wasted $52 dollars on a gel fill that lasted less than 72 hours, I will most definitely not be back ever again.

Been here twice, works great. Cute Nail design done by Sophia. It looks so gorgeous. I love my nails. She is the best with perfect recommendations. She takes care of my nails and don't damage them, nail shape is always good, many colors and designs selection, friendly. She is really nice and kind. She talks very funny and makes my day relax after long shift. Thank you for making me comfortable every time I come.

LOVE!

See all

You won't regret your visit with April at Atomic Wax. She loves what she does and it shows in her…read morework. I refuse to be waxed by anyone else. April explains the waxing process to you through each step. So for anyone who's a first timer or hesitant about getting certain areas waxed, have no fear! Worried about getting your eyebrows waxed too thin? That won't happen! This is the first place that's offered a brow consultation to make sure you're both on the same page with what you're expecting. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, no need to worry! The Wax used at Atomic Wax is vegan and and gentle for those with sensitive skin like me. It leaves you glowing in the best way. Atomic Wax has a cozy/homey vibe. It's always comfortable, and you can guarantee that you'll receive fast, fun and friendly service every time. I recommend April/Atomic Wax to all of my friends, and I recommend you at least give it a shot. You won't regret it!!

This was my first time with April & I went based on her reviews. And she is THEEE best. I've been…read moreto many places, also I haven't had a wax for a few months so I was expecting lots of pain, but this is the first place that was not painful at all! Between waxing smaller strips at a time & distracting me with conversation & her breathing techniques, I didn't even know she was nearly done! She is the absolute sweetest I would highly recommend her to everyone & I'm looking forward to coming back to her forever!
