Overall, I'd give Sam's Nails a 3.5. I had high hopes for this nail salon when it opened a couple…read moreyears ago, but every time I visit they only seem to be ok. Sam's has never seem to wow me with their work. When it comes to convenience, I love where the location is. It would get a 5 star for that alone. The facility is always clean and I never worry about my safety as far as getting as infection or anything like that. Unlike some other places. I'm originally from the East Coast and when we get our nails done, we like pizazz. I enjoy fun and eclectic styles and patterns. And it seems like here in the Midwest, that's not something people look for regularly. So when I saw Sam's advertising on social media and even with their signage, I thought this void would finally be filled. They displayed fun designs and creative artwork, but I find that 1) not everyone can complete the creative nail art I look for. 2) they literally CHARGE for ev-ver-ry thing! If you want nails files shaped to anything but square, +$5-10. If you want French +5-10. I know it's common, but $10 is a bit much (IMO). 3)they just don't perform to my level of expectation. But check them out and let me know what you think.

Definitely pays to get here early on a Saturday! I didn't have an appointment, but I arrived around…read more10:00 AM and they weren't very busy yet, so I was taken care of right away. I originally planned on just getting a pedicure but ended up getting a manicure too. I usually like gel because I think it looks better, but I don't love the effects gel has on my nails, so I decided to go with regular polish this time. One thing I really appreciated is that they didn't make me feel bad or try to convince me to get gel, which some nail shops tend to do. I started with my pedicure. The chair was comfortable and had a massage remote, so of course I took advantage of that! The older lady who did my nails was really nice. I didn't catch her name. I had some leftover gel from a previous manicure that needed to be drilled off, and it did hurt a little when she got close to the edges. I really wanted a burnt orange color and found one I liked in the regular polish. Unfortunately, the polish was pretty thick, so she had to thin it out. At first, I was nervous about how everything would turn out, but after she worked with the polish, it looked much better. The shop itself is pretty basic not fancy or anything. After my pedicure, the same lady did my manicure. She had a pretty gentle touch, which I appreciated. I asked for a squoval shape, although I think she may have understood oval instead. I decided to use the same color on my nails since she had already worked on the consistency of the polish. It was better, but she still had to keep thinning it out as she painted. I did notice a few spots that looked like they may have been missed, but honestly, I was ready to go and didn't want to make a big fuss about it. I had to sit under the dryer for about 15 minutes, and that area wasn't the most comfortable, so I was definitely getting a little antsy. By then, the shop had gotten much busier and louder. The total for a regular polish manicure and pedicure was $65. I paid by card, so it came out to around $67, plus my tip. I'm not sure if I'll come back, but I will definitely remember that this is a place where I can get regular polish without feeling pressured or judged for skipping gel. And honestly, that alone is something I appreciate! One thing: my reg polish mani didn't last long, only like a couple days...so I'll probably never do that again!

However, it's like right as I sat down she was heavy handed with the drill to the point my fingernail started to burn. Then she made a shady comment about the type of base I wanted for my nails. She just had an attitude throughout my appointment. Regardless of all of that I still tipped her $30 on $80 just because I work in a restaurant and deal with people everyday so I know what it's like to be going through something and not wanting to work. So with that being said, I still tipped her when I could've just not tipped her. Look at these nails lmao.

I've been coming here for about two years, off and on, for pedicures; the place is run by a…read morehusband-wife team. They both have heavy SE Asian accents, so I've always had trouble communicating with them, which may or may not be an issue for others. The good: They take cleanliness seriously, with many tools coming from a sterilizer (although the pumice stones seem to be reused with only a rinse, based on what I saw). They always wear face masks, and there are clear plastic panels hung between their station and the massage chair pedicure station. The prices are very affordable, but I've only ever done basic pedicures with sometimes a basic manicure. The neutral: The place plays piano "Muzak" only -- the same CD, over and over. It could be worse, but they didn't quite attain the "soothing spa" environment they might have been trying for. Furnishings are old and somewhat worn; again, meh ambience, but irrelevant to the service. The not-so-good: I usually get my pedicures from the husband; he is thorough and careful, and my nails end up looking good. While he isn't always willing to give me what I ask for, he'll take the time to try to tell me why I can't have it (in particular: nail shape -- I have square beds but hate square nails; and the callus-shaving, which he won't always do to my satisfaction, telling me the calluses are there to protect something -- I think). He often comes across as a bit brusque and impatient with me, but that might just be more communication problems. I had a pedicure from the wife of the team last time. I find her even more difficult to understand than the husband, and she seems to have a harder time understanding me. She also seems to focus more on speed than on care. First, she didn't give me any time to do more than dip my feet in the pedicure tub before she got started -- a three minute soak first would have made the callus removal easier and more thorough. I like my toenails a working length: just shy of the end of the toe, so I'm not gouging my shoes. She cut them back so short they feel like I have ten stubbed toes, and she cut down the sides of the toenails, cutting ME in the process. It hurt, and I said "ouch!" When she cut me, but she didn't apologize or say anything. One cut was bad enough she had to apply pressure with cotton to get the bleeding to stop. The callus removal was less thorough than I prefer, although she did use the callus shaver, which I like. She wasn't able to get the calluses on my pinky toes, which are difficult to reach and take care to properly deal with. I had a manicure this time as well. Some of my nail beds are oval, and some are square; I prefer rounded, working-length nails (just a bit past the ends of my fingers). Some of my nails ended up rounded, and some ended up square; she tried to explain that they matched the nail bed, and to round them would go down the sides too much. I wish she'd discussed that with me beforehand. I have really thin, fragile, friable nails; I had to stop her from filing the tops too much. (I don't care if you are trying to smooth them; if they flake and peel and break as a consequence, that is not ideal.) point is: two years, and not only have they never bothered to learn my preferences, but I've also never particularly felt welcome. Final straw: it's a week later, and the too-short toenails still hurt. My big toe, where she seriously cut down along the side, is red and sore. I'll be soaking in Epsom salts for a while, it seems. And seriously growing out my toenails before I go looking for a different nail salon.

My friend and I enjoyed a lovely Sunday at the Conrad Spa.

We were prompted greeted by Tina and shown around the spa and to our lockers. In the ladies locker room area, there are showers, a sauna, and a steam room. We got there early so we could enjoy the pool and other amenities. Unfortunately, when we arrived there were hotel guests in the pool, including children. That's not all that conducive to relaxing unfortunately so we didn't get in the water at all. Tina also helped us order a lovely lunch from Capitol Grill and took overall very good care of us while we relaxed and waited for our spa appointments. The services: Both of us had nice services but honestly both felt we had had better for various reasons. My esthetician was good and did a very nice job but I had added on a leg scrub. The leg scrub was great but it came At the sacrifice of the hand and wrist massage you might typically get. My friend's service was good but was slow to start and the provider had some clumsiness issues and dropped items on the floor creating loud noises. The only thing that was really "bad" was the temperature of the atrium area/pool and hot tub area. It was HOT in there. It was so warm in there that we just couldn't force ourselves in the hot tub or the sauna/steam room. Tips: 1. there is street parking, which is free on Sundays 2.

I was seated within about five minutes, which was a great first impression. Unfortunately, that's where things started going downhill. I sat where I was instructed and placed my feet in the pedicure tub, but the water was scorching hot. I told the technician it was too hot, and she only adjusted it slightly. I still couldn't comfortably put my feet in the water and had them barely touching the surface. She asked if it was still too hot, I said yes, and instead of adjusting it right away, she waited another several minutes before finally adding cold water. When she asked if I wanted the deluxe pedicure, I agreed. However, she spent less than five minutes actually cleaning, trimming, and caring for my nails. Most of the appointment was spent rubbing my legs and repeatedly scratching them with her long fingernails, which was uncomfortable rather than relaxing. I requested a French tip. After she finished painting, I asked her to clean up the sides of my nails because the polish was messy. Instead, she simply wiped them with a towel, completely missing what I meant. The polish around my nails was never cleaned up, leaving a sloppy finish. To make matters worse, she filed my nails after polishing them. My toenails were already short, and she filed them even shorter until they were almost past the skin, which was painful. There was still leftover product around several of my toes that was never cleaned up before I left. Overall, I left very disappointed. The salon itself was nice, but the quality of the pedicure did not match the price or my expectations. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
