They don't looks horrible, just not exactly the shape or length I wanted
HNicole L.

I'm a little torn on this review. I haven't been here before and found it while I was driving around and was trying to get in fast. No appointment, but it was only about a 15-20 min wait. It took almost 1.5 hours to get my nails done, and I went through 3 nail techs, which was a little annoying. I don't know if it was just me, but the place didn't look super sanitary. There were no towels at the hand washing station except one sitting on the sink that looked like it had been overly used. My nails ended up being super misshapen and a couple are on crooked, but I had the 3rd tech fix them the best he could. Some display a coffin-like look, while others are just squared. They are also still pretty long, but I'll get them cut down when I go back to my regular place...I can say with certainty I won't be back, but my nails don't look horrible.

Less than 24 hours later we had to take off the Polish because three of the nails were already peeling

This place has very poor cleanliness very poor service and quality. I went in to get gel nails done on my natural nails between 2:45 and 3:15 on Wednesday July 14th 2021, by that evening I already had nails peeling I paid $35. I called to let them know the only thing they wanted to do was for me to go back into their very unclean salon and have them rework on my nails which I do not trust them !!! I would advise for everyone do not go there , do not trust them!!!! Hot nails in Colorado springs off academy is not a good salon I asked to be refunded they were not budging on any amount they only wanted me to go back in.

This place was the most disgusting nail salon I have ever been to. I have never written a Yelp review, but the horrible quality of this place made me want to write one to warn people before they consider coming here. Their chairs were ripped and worn down. Their nail polishes were off-brand, old, dried out and unorganized. They had dirty old CARPET floors that they expect people to walk on with their bare feet... and the fingernail/toenail dryers looked like they were from the 70's; I had never seen such outdated equipment in my life. The bins that they kept their clippers and other utensils in looked like they hadn't ever been cleaned out and their products made my skin peel. Not only was everything old and extremely unsanitary, but I was not happy with the mediocre pedicure they gave me. Definitely the lowest quality salon I've ever been to, and if I could give it zero stars, I would.

Came in around 10am on a Saturday and was seen right away. The nails turned out nice and the price wasn't bad. The staff was also friendly.

I will never return to this place. Got my full set on Saturday. This is Monday morning. They look 3 weeks grown out already. No consistency to the shape. My one nail was totally crooked. They do not know how to do powder. My cuticles got so roughed up, her rough filing was painful.

LOVE this place. New to Colorado and this is the first place I finally decided to take a chance on! Came here the first time to get a fill and 3 repairs and they did an absolutely amazing job! The nail techs take their time and clearly take pride in the work they're doing and make sure you actually like what you're getting! This is the second time I've come here and I need a repair and fill! Their fills are $18+ depending upon the extent of it, they actually take their time to fill and have an even acrylic. If you're hard on your nails and need them stronger they do it and don't charge extra! Love the nails I've gotten each time! They are pretty busy during the week so I'd call a head of time just to be on the safe side!

This place was a good place to go to as a replacement when my nail tech is booked. I usually go to an in house nail tech so finding other places that can provide the quality of my in house nail tech can be a struggle. They did a very good job here and they took there time and my nails came out great I didn't ask for much because I didn't want to get let down but they did a great job for my simple ask. I would come back here as a filler it's good to know there is somewhere close to provide quality when in need.

First Yelp review for me because of how horrible it was. I wish I could give them zero stars. I payed $60 for this (full gel set). I got them done and left with nails that looked over grown, nails polish on my skin and a shape I didn't ask for. I asked for square nails and got these round ones that are all uneven on each fingernail and they didn't even push back my cuticles and left a huge gap. There are dust bumps in the polish on my nails. My missing nails and over grown ones I went in with looked much better. My friends were as bad as mine. Will NEVER go here again. Don't waste your money here. So unsanitary and I went through two nail techs.

Lavender paint w sparkle. (Looks better in real life). But they do great work :)

I love this place. I've been here quite a few times... And every time the bar is easily met. I absoutely love their pedi's. The massage chairs are new and in good shape, the work is wonderful, paint is on point and clean... And Tony's taiwanese acupressure massage is the best!! He's strong and funny. The salon is clean and the people polite. Very big too. Lots of chairs and employees. You should go if you're reading this.

Nail art!

They gave us great service for an impromptu nail party for 6 people. They have a large salon& good sanitary practices. We loved the nail art!

Ouch!

I have gone to Hot Nails 5 times now. When the lady or young girl nail tech has done my pedicures and manicures they have been wonderful! The polish lasts a long time. The past 2 times Tony did my pedicures. He has hurt me both times, where I have bled. The first time he cut into my cuticle, and yesterday he cut my nail way too short and I also bled. I'm over it here. The first time is a mistake, the second time, you're not very good at your job. I'm bummed because they are very polite, the product is wonderful, and it's reasonably priced.

not a clean looking set when you see it close up

$25 full set and $18 for acrylic fills Since moving to Colorado Springs from NYC, I recently found this nail salon with good reviews. The acrylic full set was $25 for one color and my nails came out... Eehhh. Customer service was good, they interact with you and are accommodating but the full set came out flat squared under the nail rather than curved, how I like it, so that's just a preference. My nails look like fake flat squares coming out of my fingers and two days later, the nail polish is coming off from the edge of the nails. I had to buy the same color polish at the store to retouch. Plus, there was a lot of left over acrylic residue under my nails which made it very difficult to keep it clean under them...not cute or efficient. The technician took an hour and a half which is fine since he took his time but I wish the results were a little better. I'll be checking out other places in the meantime.

I got an almond full set. They are all different shapes. I paid $50 to have to get them fixed elsewhere. I'm really not happy.

HELLO!??? i said i need my refund i have nothing on my nails and they were terrible. he looked at me and says "you said there were fine that you were okay when you left" i think he forgot that i had came back that same day and showed him exactly what i asked for and he told me come back? and i told him no i came that morning at 9 when he told me and yall didn't take me?? so no i wanted my refund since i got them removed and he seemed to be irritated with my and upset because im asking for MY MONEY back after they did a shit job? yeah okay. anyways don't come here nails salons nowadays don't give a crap about people's inspirations or what they ask for. barely have the supplies too. you get what you get and they want you to accept it and pay over 100's of dollars for bare minimum. i go to a personal nail tech who does 10000% BETTER and charges me less than 75 for what i asked for at the nail salons. they are a joke. don't. come. here. !!!!

Sharon's versatility is unmatched and she is always learning new techniques and methods in order to better serve her clients. I've received aesthetician services from her including lash lifting and tinting (SO much less of a pain than extensions), eyebrow design, and facials, as well as some reflexology work. I plan to visit for a sound therapy session to see how it aids with issues of stress and anxiety. The atmosphere of her office space is so relaxing, and I always feel well taken care of and pampered.

She talks to you prior to your appointment to see what your needs are, to see if there's anything else that she can do for you, and lets you know what to expect. The place was very clean and she explained extra disinfection/sanitation precautions due to COVID, which put me at ease since I am currently expecting. The atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxing too. Sharon was very warm, approachable, and does a wonderful job not only at what she does but at putting you at ease and helping you relax. It's only been a few days since my appointment and I'm already noticing the difference between waxing and sugaring and let's just say I will definitely be going back--not only because of the results but because I really like Sharon! She even checked in on me a few days later to see how things were going, which was so thoughtful of her. I only had sugaring done, but she provides other services as well, and regardless, I would HIGHLY, DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY, 150% recommended going to see Sharon!
