I've known Julin for more than 20 years, and she never disappoints!

It is always a treat to see everyone at Idol Nails. Everyone is friendly and takes pride in their work.

Vania D.

I go to Idol nails every 2-3 weeks for my regular fill . Julin is always very friendly and accommodating to what type of nails I want . She takes her time shaping , refreshing each nail & due to the fact I have arthritis she is very gentle and moves her body around to be able to give me the best final product. Since my hands get stiff after awhile. When I call to have an appointment she is very mindful of my time and treating me as soon as my appointment time arrives. I highly recommend Idol nails , all staff is friendly and treat with care.

Chrome looking fabulous and my design came out just how I hoped Thanks you Julie

I love idol nails! It's clean, reasonably priced, and wonderful friendly people. My nails always turn out so pretty!

Be careful! The workers are very nice but the shop is not sanitary at all. I came in for a "clean up" pedicure yesterday and ended up with bleeding cuticles and an infected toe that hurts so bad!

BEST SQUARE NAILS IVE EVER RECEIVED! So glad I tried this place yesterday all the ladies working were so nice & the lady that shaped my nails took her time & did amazing! She paid very close attention to detail. Great job! Usually when I go somewhere I'm scared to ask for square shape because they always end up doing coffin shape instead accidentally hahaha but this place got it spot on! I'm so happy with my nails!

Love coming to this place. I always love my nails! Love that I can call and get a fast appointment. All the ladies are lovely. Tracy did my nails this week and I love them.

Julin and all the staff here are absolutely AMAZING! Super professional, friendly and detailed, yet efficient. I always get excited to go get my nails done here and see all their smiling faces. Highly recommend to anyone...you won't be disappointed!

I have followed Julin from her previous location to her current business location and have been a client of hers for over 10 years. She and her staff are gracious, they try to understand your needs and are accommodating if something is not quite to expectation. Julin accepts walk-ins; but not to the detriment of a customer appointment. Kind-hearted staff who are closely supervised by Julin, even when she herself is with a client! She is a perfectionist and wants her clients to leave satisfied with the service they received. There are many nail and pedicure options available beyond a basic mani/pedi. Donna followed Julin to Idol Nails and provides waxing services; as well as nail services. Donna is a professional at waxing. Reasonable prices, clean environment; follows Covid and Public Health Department guidelines for nail services.

I honestly could not be happier with my nails. From the moment I sat down, the experience was amazing. The attention to detail was incredible and you can tell a lot of care and skill went into the set. The shape is absolutely perfect, the design came out exactly how I imagined it, and the quality is seriously top tier. My nails feel strong, comfortable, and they look so clean and professional. I've gotten so many compliments already and people keep asking where I got them done. You can really see the effort and talent that goes into the work. Nothing feels rushed and everything looks flawless. I will 100% be coming back again because this is easily one of the best nail sets I've ever had. If you're thinking about booking, do it because the results are definitely a 10/10. read more

I've had an extremely hard time finding a reasonably priced nail salon that does a great job in a timely manner. I received a gift card for Idol Nails for Mother's Day and was very excited to try out a salon that I haven't been to since high school. I got in my car and cried. The one thing I wanted to do was get a good nail service and feel good for once! I haven't had my nails done in probably six months. I got a nail polish manicure and the Firewalker Pedicure. My cuticles were barely touched, massage was terrible, the product was skimped on, AND there is still my old nail polish on my cuticles. Unfortunate experience. I will not go back or recommend to a friend. read more

I love this place! Although they take walk-ins, definitely call ahead so you get in. Mary and Donna are my favorites for pedicures (since I get ingrown toe nails). The ladies go the extra mile to make you happy. Sometimes the color I pick doesn't look as I thought it would. The ladies get creative with layering glitter or another color to make me happy. These are some of the reasons why I've been coming here for years. read more

I have been coming here for at least three years. As always, I call to make an appt first. I asked for 12:45 appt but was told 1pm was better. No problem. I arrived 5 mins early. Then sat for 30 mins. I asked how much longer and stressed that I called 1st and made an appt. They moved me to a chair and again I sat for 10 mins, no water even in the basin! This has happened a handful of times to me here. At check out, I was given 10% off my bill. Sorry but there are too many nail shops nearby to deal with this again. read more

She was annoyed when I showed her my pic I wanted to copy. Buuut Instead of addressing the issues I pointed out, the technician grabbed my hand, held it down, and began cutting off my nails. I never asked for my nails to be cut and did not give permission for that service. I only wanted the uneven shaping and dents corrected. The handling felt rough and uncomfortable, and I was shocked that my nails were cut without my consent. When I told her that wasn't what I wanted, she simply told me to pay for the pedicure only. By then, my nails had already been cut much shorter than I wanted, and the situation could not be undone. Such lack of communication and respect for what I had actually requested.

My friends' toenails were bare and requiring a pedicure. My…read morefriends' polish after the pedicure would be a gel type. Their selection of polish was not so good. 1 book board of nails for polish. 1 small key ring with maybe 15 plastic popsicle sticks and fake nails attached terribly and probably painted ten years ago. Lastly, framed board with the a fake nail and matching painted shaped item with the cheapest polish colors of tint with shimmer attempts that looks like it came from a child's safety nail polish collection. With that as the first indicator, we should have just walked away. We decided to be nice. The first nail person was asked for squared toenails. It was mentioned a few times nicely & she kept saying OK. As the filing of the top of the toe, and minimal on the actual nail, continued in a seesaw motion, which is not supposed to happen, and the toe was becoming irritated hot, and red, the response was well I have to file. We said not like that and the multiple requests to stop filing the top of the were ignored as well. Perhaps a better tool rather than the same worn out board that was clearly not creating a squared out shape for the top or sides. The closed cuticle area was still not cleaned and shaped into a straight line to the sides of the toenail so the shape of a toenail would be squared. To describe the closed cuticle area, it's bottom line area toenail that connects to the two sides of your toenail that go up into the open area of your toenail bed) I have outlined one of the pictures in red to show the area ... So second girl comes in, (obviously irritated everyone's speaking so we can't understand) and little filing type movements and then she says in a sing song voice " check it out " and the wave of her hands as if to be " let's make a deal "girls. We know they're not right she says oh they're ready. We said oh let's see then... Here we have the polish and for everyone who's had a pedicure or manicure, there is the understanding that the set~up for the nails has to pristine other wise there is this... Left with a terribly hideous pedicure, a second coat of polish was not going to do anything better for it. The cost for a gel pedicure in that salon was $40. We paid the value of the pedicure received, walking out with zero product on toenails which are very uneven and too short to straighten out... They accepted the negotiated payment. We are not too sure why they thought telling me that they had witnesses to show something-really would mean anything because we have these photos. The four people that were employees of some type or informed that the photos will be going to their social media accounts to offer This entire event is all captured on cameras in their salon, as well as the second nail person was either recording from her phone that was on the cart next to her or there was an open call of some type... Just another example of when there's the inclination and it's ignored "this probably isn't gonna turn out so well " It's making the selection to submit the post impossible unless you paste at least one star so that's the only reason that there is a star

That said, they got the job done! I had a spa pedicure and the technician was quick, gentle, and thorough. Prices were mid-range - not cheap but not expensive. I appreciated that they didn't require an appointment. In addition, it was evident that there are a lot of "regulars" that the technicians have served for a long time. I was happy with the outcome of my pedicure.

zero stars!!!!…read more absolutely furious. absolutely outraged. absolutely disgusted. my sweet, respectful, polite, shy young daughter went into this salon expecting a peaceful, relaxing nail appointment. instead, she was completely ignored, bulldozed, pressured, overcharged, and treated with a shocking level of disrespect. we called ahead and specifically made an appointment for dip nails with tips. we knew exactly what we wanted. we requested dip nails with tips multiple times. there was no confusion. after putting on the tips, the technician proceeded to apply gel x instead. we immediately spoke up and corrected her. not once. multiple times. we said dip nails. we called for dip nails. my daughter asked for dip nails. instead of listening to the paying customer, this woman looked us in the eyes with her beyond evil bad energy and argued with us and tried to tell us what we should want. she acted as if our opinion didn't matter and as if she had the right to override the service we specifically booked and were paying for. how dare you look us into the eyes with your beyond evil eyes,bad energy eyes and soul and ignore a customer's request over and over again? how dare you decide you know better than the person paying for the service? as if that wasn't enough, the technician also made my daughter's nails much longer than she asked for. my daughter specifically requested a shorter length, but her request was completely ignored. when we asked for them to be shortened, the technician refused. what makes this even more infuriating is that this happened to a sweet, shy, respectful young girl. her kindness was taken for weakness. her politeness was taken as permission to steamroll right over her. she was completely disregarded while an adult continued doing whatever she wanted. we should have walked out the second she ignored our requests. the only reason we stayed was because she had already glued the tips on my daughter's nails and we felt put in a position where we had no choice but to continue. looking back, i regret not getting up and leaving right then and there, even if the job wasn't finished. no customer should ever be made to feel trapped into a service they did not want simply because the technician decided to proceed against their wishes. we clearly stated what we wanted multiple times, yet our requests were completely dismissed. once the tips were already applied, it felt like the decision had been taken out of our hands. that is not how paying customers should be treated. then to add insult to injury, we were charged even more, $60 instead of the $50 we were told over the phone when we made the appointment for dip with tips! we were charged extra for a service we did not want, did not request, and tried to stop multiple times. and the part that makes me even angrier? we actually left a tip. we should not have. after being completely disrespected, overridden, violated, robbed, and ripped off, we still left a tip out of decency, a decency that was never shown to us in return. a nail appointment is supposed to be relaxing. it is supposed to be a treat. instead, this experience left us feeling violated, robbed, manipulated, and completely disrespected as paying customers. please do not spend your hard earned money here unless you want your requests ignored, your voice dismissed, violated, robbed, and your wallet emptied for services you never asked for. i have never been so angry after a nail appointment in my life. watching my sweet, respectful, polite, shy daughter be treated this way filled me with a level of rage that words can barely express. this was completely unprofessional, completely unacceptable, and absolutely disgraceful. shame on this salon.

Ms Glen's Therapeutic Manicures & Pedicures

I have been hankering for a pedicure for a while, and not just any pedicure. I wanted something…read moremore therapeutic. My feet have been through it the last couple of years (sports) and I wanted to get serious about caring for them properly, not just getting them painted. Of course, I turned to Yelp for the scoop and zeroed in on Ms. Glen's Therapeutic Manicures & Pedicures. I finally got a chance to go see Ms. Glen and it was everything I wanted and more. It was relaxing (I fell asleep)! It was restorative! My feet felt and looked healthy and cared for. I didn't get polished which is great because I have been wanting to go natural for a while to let my nails breathe and focus on what's really happening with my toe nail health. So may things I loved (in no particular order): - Very communicative from the appointment (via phone) to the confirmation and directions (via text) - Ms. Glen greeted me at the door - The studio smells divine (really sets the tranquil mood) - The studio was intimate (just me - yay) - The space was very clean (I am a stickler for clean) - There was a complimentary water waiting on me - Ms. Glen has developed her own techniques and products which speaks to her dedication and specialization (I love people who are passionate about what they do!) - Every step of the treatment was appreciated! (very detailed, very attentive, think - pampering your feet from the in-depth massage to the parrafin to the soaks to the grooming and much much more) - I got socks! This was such a special and much needed last step that I never knew I needed. It made my feet more comfortable and protected after such a beautiful treatment. She even asked me my size. How's that for customer service! - Now this one may seem trivial but I never had to hold my feet up during the treatment unless I was transitioning from the bowl to a towel. I do not like having to do that while someone attends to the bottom of my feel or heels. Ms. Glen has it worked out where I can truly relax the whole time. I also left with one of Ms. Glen's therapeutic hand and foot oils in Lemon. She makes the oils herself! It smells so good and leaves a refreshing but not overpowering scent. It feels good oiling my feet every night. Like another reviewer said, this is not your run of the mill pedicure shop. This is a therapeutic service that is worth every penny. My goal is to make this a regular treatment. If my feet are healthy, I am healthier! Thanks Ms. Glen for such a wonderful experience! I'll be back. And thanks again for the massage therapist recommendation. Rest and recovery, here I come!

Ms. Glen should rebrand her business as RESTORATION!! If you're looking for a traditional pedicure…read morewith in and out service and a fancy polish job, this isn't for you. If your feet are in need of TLC, renewal and restoration, Ms. Glen has a carefully curated service that will leave your feet feeling brand new. I had recently purchased a soap that helps with skin discoloration. It hasn't been making any improvement in the uneven skin tone and dark marks on my feet. Turns out I just needed an appointment with Ms. Glen. The exfoliation she provided literally rubbed away 15 years from my feet. My dry scratchy heels were left supple and smooth and the calloused areas were left soft. Had I known what I was in store for I would have taken before and after pictures. She even provided socks for me to leave in, to seal in the moisture. My favorite part hands down was the massage. She kneaded into these tired soles, and I needed that! I paid a little more than the price listed (which she does quote as a base price) but she also spent almost 2x the amount of time listed. My Fiancé noticed the difference in appearance and feel immediately. I intentionally waited until 24 hours+ had passed to write this review, wanting to see if my feet would feel just as nice. THEY DO!! Ms. Glen definitely puts pride in her work and I love how she checked in throughout the process to ensure I was satisfied along the way. I recommend her service to anyone looking to give their feet a more youthful feel and look. And if your feet have severe issues that might keep you from visiting open public salons, her private suite will help you feel comfortable and secure. Right before I left, Ms. Glen threw in a bottle of her therapeutic hand & foot oil once she saw how dry my hands were. I had discussed my upcoming nuptials with her and she wanted to make sure my hands moisturized properly for my big day, even providing a demonstration on proper application. Ms. Glen is a gem!

What truly sets Idol Nails apart, however, is their commitment to affordability without compromising on quality. In an industry where luxury often comes with a hefty price tag, Idol Nails stands as a beacon of accessibility, offering world-class service at prices that won't break the bank. It's a rare gem in a sea of overpriced salons, and I am eternally grateful for their dedication to providing exceptional value for money. Last but certainly not least, I must commend the manager for their outstanding leadership and professionalism. They lead by example, fostering a culture of excellence and ensuring that every member of the team is empowered to deliver nothing short of perfection. Their presence is felt in every corner of the salon, and it's clear that their passion for their craft is infectious. Life can be unpredictable, and there have been times when I've needed to adjust my appointment or run a few minutes late. Whenever this happens, I simply give them a call, and they're always understanding and accommodating. Whether it's rescheduling for a later time or another day, they make it hassle-free and convenient. read more
