Amazing amazing amazing!! We scheduled an appointment at like midnight for the next day at 10am and when we arrived we were promptly seen. They have an extensive amount of colors to choose from (including gel, acrylic, and regular polish). I always choose regular polish as other ones hurt my nails. I also chose to keep the pedi/mani basic today. The service was incredible. She got all of my stuff fixed AND offered to put a flower on my big toes (FOR FREE). Additionally, I had a blister on my foot and she was very considerate and gentle and even trimmed the skin around that for me (she did not have to lol). There was a moment during my manicure that she nipped the cuticle wrong and a little blood spotted up, but she handled it swiftly and it never hurt me. The vibes inside are nice, it's small and intimate but the music is clean and the tv and massage chairs are relaxing. Pro tip: There is free 2hr street parking available in the area! We literally walked 30 steps hahah read more

After years of giving my business, I have had it. Getting your nails done is meant to be a pampering, splurging, enjoying. Said no one ever, "I want my nail tech to charge me money to do my nails for me and rush through as fast as possible, making lots of mistakes." I'm not sure why the level of professionalism has gone down so far to rock bottom here, other than the owner has gotten so greedy that cranking people in and out as fast as possible is more important to her than having techs take their time and perform a high-quality service. Listen to me loud and clear: not only can I (and will I) take my business elsewhere, I can do my own nails at home! I have alllll the equipment. And if I can produce a higher-quality output than paying someone to do it for me, why should I be donating you my money? I'm so disappointed in some of my experiences here, especially my last one, that I will go way out of my way, going forward, to avoid coming here again. All I wanted was a pedicure. The tech who did my pedicure was done in lightening-speed time. It blew my mind!!! I even said out lout "That was the fastest pedicure of my entire life!" A pedi should take close to an hour, but this tech somehow got done in like 20 mins. Also, I want to be pampered, not a rush job! That's what we pay for!!! When I got home, I looked closer and realized the nail polish was all messy and uneven, didn't cover all of my nails, and was also on my skin and not cleaned up!!! WTH! Then, the dead skin!!! OMG, I started trimming my own hanging, jagged skin at home that the tech didn't do cleanly, well, or professionally. Then I realized, I just paid someone my money to do this for me! Why would I need to, immediately after paying, go home and have to spend my time fixing a "professional's" job? Insane! It was the worst pedicure of my life. I decided I was going back. Once I got back, the main person, I think the owner, refused to go get the exact color I had on. I don't know why or what her problem was. I eventually gave up and let her do another color that was similar. And I'm so over her walking around constantly saying, "Nice color", "Ooh that's a nice color", "What a pretty color", it's how she panders to you. You know what? Stop telling me "nice color" and just give me a GREAT service instead of placating me. Other times I've come in here, they text me a "discount," then don't want to honor the discount because I didn't spend enough money. You know what? If there are caveats to your "discounts", then put that in the original offer before I drag my behind into your business. Another thing they do a lot that I hate is start looking at my fingernails to judge me/them and criticize me as a way to very rudely try to get me to spend more money there! It's angering!!!! They'll even ask, "Did you do yourself at home?" because they feel like that is a way to criticize me. And even if my nails are still looking in good shape, they want to judge me just because I'm not having "them" do my fingernails. Stop making your customers feel bad because they get pedis and don't want a mani! Money doesn't grow on trees, you know!!! The rest of my body is none of your business. Just pay attention to doing an excellent, A-class job on the service I DID decide to award to you! (which isn't even being done as it is!). Stop pressuring customers to spend, spend, spend. We don't want that when we are trying to relax and pamper! STOP RUSHING! Stop being so greedy! You've lost a long-time customer with your antics and behavior. read more

Helena Nails & Spa - Book & pedicure, what haven't I thought of this sooner?! Ladies! - Nail Salons Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've been here several times and the experience is always chaotic. It's cramped, noisy, and often the staff switch off who is working on you without warning. Since beginning to go there, my nails have grown increasingly frail and break easily. I have realized it's because they are in such a hurry to get people in and out of the door that they scraped the keratin off my nails while removing the color. They use the Dremel to remove the color before and after the polish remover. They send out text messages for specials, but unless you mention them, you won't get them. You should also check their math when they add and give back change. I caught them in a $10 mistake (my favor). read more

Went there twice for a manicure. The customer service and quality of manicures (natural nails) is too inconsistent to make the low prices worth it. Visit 1: I requested a gel manicure. The nail technician insisted I get "dip" to "strengthen" my nails. I figured, why not, it had been awhile since I got my nails done. The original dip powder container was used (not ideal but it's so common I didn't care). The technician was pretty detailed and made sure the dip polish was thinned with her dremel tool, my nails looked good! Visit 2: original nail technician wasn't there and I asked for gel and once again pressured into dip. I requested a Jean blue for my nails, they didn't carry it and was given a significant darker shade but it wasn't horrible. I asked for cateye nails, and was informed that wasn't available & the salon needs to purchase. What added to the 1 rating: *The manicure was really poorly done by someone who is supposed to be a nail tech. *My nails were left uneven and were not filed. The cuticles were still very noticeable. *The dip powder was not thinned out and looked extremely thick on my nails once done. *When I sent the nail technician a tip she claimed it had not gone through. So, I tipped again. One of her colleagues came to see what was taking so long as it was near closing time; Turns out my nail tech for this already sad manicure received a $30 tip for horrible nails as she couldn't find a way to refund me my additional money. I left because I was just so very done with the experience. Thought I would return but I didn't. If you want dip or acrylics with basic options then this would be great for you. If sanitizing items doesn't bother you then this place is for you. The nail tools were not new and were clearly reused on multiple people. The inexpensive services are not worth the inconsistent work done by the technicians at this nail salon. Sad because there is potential for a small business, the employees just don't care about quality of work, it's more so, whether it's done. read more

My boyfriend and I walked in on a Friday afternoon around 330 to this Nail establishment. They were able to accommodate us quickly and put us in a chair each for pedicures and began our manicure and refill while we were getting our pedicure. My boyfriend likes to get color on his toes and typically at other nail salons. He receives a round shape. Here they squared out his shape on his nails, and they look wonderful. We decided to go for a Vail blue for him this time. It typically go with a shade of bread and they have plenty to choose from between the gel colors, the dips and the regular polish. We both got the deluxe pedicure which is $50 each. That's two upgrades from the basic pedicure. The massage with this pedicure was amazing. Both nail techs took their time in carefully delivering the services. It was relaxing from beginning to end. And I can't remember the last time that my nails were pristinely painted. My boyfriend then got an extra oil treatment at the end to help with his dry skin on both his feet and hands. My hands came out beautiful and usually around my cuticles. It still looks a little nicked up by the time I get done. However, today everything was beautifully done with care and comfort. I highly recommend this nail salon. The only drawback that I can see is that in the initial selling of the services, there is an upsell pitch that can go on a little long, but it worked for us. We did the upgrades and we really enjoyed the service. read more

Horrible Place. I never write reviews yet this is my first. They made me wait for 30 mins before seeing someone. The way they don't sanitize the areas before having a new client is crazy. I didn't want a new set of Gel X just a rebase. The person doing my nails bent back my old gel X making them pop off. He gaslighted me into getting a new set. Then removed each nail without soaking them and just pulling them off. The way my news turned out made me cry. read more

This nail spa is so far the best I have gone to in Capital Hill. There was a guy with frosted hair who did my pedicure, I forgot to ask his name. The woman who did my manicure did a great job and her name is Emma I believe. They both did impressive work. Yesterday I can say I got the best manicure and pedicure of 2022. Simple dark Autumn/Winter colors I asked for. Each of their skills are spectacular! All of my fingernails are even and coffin shaped and my toenails square. The color is perfectly matched. I always get regular polish for my toes and dip for my fingernails. They have a wide selection of dip and gel colors. The shop is clean for the most part and they use clean tools and pedicure bowls. The prices for their treatments are not clearly located but they do list the prices on a promotional card which I forgot to grab as I was leaving. Overall good shop and I will be going back. read more

was never a huge fan of this place as I've had my nails done there before and they were just regular nail salon quality. But the last time I went there, I only got a manicure, it's been a week and my nails are so thin that they keep breaking and ripping. my nails were honestly fine before I went in. She must've drilled my nails so thin because they will not stop splitting. read more

I don't know why there's so many negative reviews, but this is probably the best nail salon I've ever been to! They started my toes first, and while I was getting my toes done they also started on my nails, which I've never had that done before. It was quick and done exactly how I wanted them to be! I'm absolutely in love with my nails thank you Lingling for doing my full set and I forget the other girl's name, but it was the younger girl with gray hair who did my toes. Also, I did not get gel and they are holding up great! was also very affordable. I believe it was 160 total. read more

Went in on 9/19 to get a dip manicure with brown French tips. Not even 24 hours later they were chipping, and I needed to return the next day. My nail tech reluctantly fixed my nail and I left. I'm here writing not even 72 hours later to report that 3 of my nails are now chipping, including the one she already fixed, and I will need to pay a new nail salon in NY to fix their poor quality work. The owner stated that she couldn't offer even a partial refund for the amount that I need to pay to get this fixed. To have nails chip 4+ times in less than 4 days is a reflection of poor work and products used. Do not recommend. read more

Horrendous business and customer service. They gaslit my girlfriend about the color and shape "don't worry you'll like in the end", she doesn't. Color is not the same number as she pointed out in the book and compared at the end. They cut her nails down to nubs. Doesn't do refunds. Do not take your business here the prices are slightly reasonable for a reason. Inexperienced technicians and very poor at their job. See pictures. Does a single one look even? The color is vomit. And they left products all caked on her fingers. I never leave negative reviews but l wish I could do zero stars. read more

Pedicure review: I'm not the best person to judge a pedicure as this was where I had my first one ever. But from what I could tell, the service was professional and they seem to know what they're doing. Especially, since I have sensitive feet. I was worried I was going to kick the person massaging my feet in the face. Thankfully, that didn't happen. I assume that's a regular occurrence for them. Manicure review: My girlfriend went to have her nails done after a couple other places failed to do it properly. (Nails would fall off the next day, etc.) It's been over a week now and the nails are still attached! Feels like a new record for her as of late. So I can commend Helena's Nails for the manicure. read more

I'm so thrilled with this last minute find. I've been on the road traveling and haven't been able to get my nails fixed. I'm a very very particular person when it comes to my nails. Like almost OCD w how I like them done. So I was nervous when I came in but gave them a shot because they said they could do French Tips in all powder dip (VS Gel which I don't like). Not only did they do everything they said they could do they exceeded my expectations. JASON is super talented and up-to-date on the best techniques. I'm very happy. read more
