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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Went In To get a pedicure and manicure, Be careful before you start your service the prices when walk in and posted in salon are not the same as on their website, and when you ask them, why? They don't seem to like it. Prices are on an average $7 to $8 higher.

Ready for the Holidays! Thank you Julen and Mary! Beautiful every time.

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

She checked in several times to make sure I was happy and it was very cute because she would keep saying "thank you" when I told her I was good. The shape of my toenails and paint came out perfectly!

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

It's…read moreonly been 5 days, and two of my gel nails are already peeling, with one completely peeled off (see photos). I paid $95 total for a gel mani and pedi, and for that price, I absolutely expected better longevity and quality. Gel is supposed to last at least 2 weeks, not start failing in under a week with normal daily activity. Unfortunately, this was not worth the money, and I won't be returning. I would not recommend this place if you're looking for a gel manicure that actually lasts.

The maroon base coat with gold flakes and a blood colored gem gel is what did it. I've had so many cool designs over the years - all from Monique. It usually starts with an outfit inspiration, a piece of artwork or a vibe I'm going for. From alien nails to tie dye to ombré and intricate designs, Monique always brings my ideas to life. AND we have a lot of fun doing it. Monique on the manicure and Wendy on the pedicure was the dream team today! Thank you!!

I dipped into this salon a few days ago when I was in the area. It is rather nondescript, small,…read moreand no frills and could probably use a bit of a makeover to help the ambiance. 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.

I recently visited Trish for a nail appointment, and unfortunately, my experience was very…read moredisappointing. While she was friendly and enjoyed sharing stories, her attitude toward my requests left me uncomfortable. When I showed her a few designs I was interested in, she brushed them off and said it was "too early for a fall design," which came across as dismissive and a bit snobby. As a customer, I expected my preferences to be respected, not minimized. The quality of the service was also far below professional standards. At the very beginning, when she was removing the old gel design, she used the bur tool so aggressively that I felt a burning sensation from the friction. One of my nail beds is now bruised because of this, which should never happen during a professional manicure. The gel application that followed was no better -- the cure buildup was crooked and uneven, with bulky, thick spots on several nails. She was not clean in her technique, and the overall finish looked sloppy and unpolished. Although she was personable, the combination of poor technique, lack of attention to detail, dismissive attitude, and physical discomfort made this a very unsatisfactory and unpleasant experience. I would not return and cannot recommend her services. Mind you that i was the very first client of the day!

I was a loyal customer to a salon across the parking lot from this one for 5 years before I finally…read morehad enough of their nonsense with keeping appointments, so I had to find a new spot and stumbled on this one. I'm very glad I did! The inside is insanely cute and clean. The owners definitely love purple, because that's the theme (and flowers), and the decor is just beyond adorable. I've made appointments with ease both times I've came so far and haven't had to wait too long upon arrival to get my services started. For gel mani + regular pedi I think I've paid around 65 both times? So very good pricing! My gel mani has lasted over 3 weeks both times with 0 chips (and with glitter polish no less!). All the employees are super nice. They have a really good selection of gel polish. Their massage chairs actually work and are some of the best I've ever sat in at a nail salon. I definitely found my new salon in this place!

I came here to take off my acrylic nails-- first time I've done it, not including having removed it…read moremyself once. And I feel like I should have just done it myself. The lady tried to sand it down but mostly just cut it off bit by bit which I felt like I could have done myself. I was trying to come out of there not having my nails super damaged but that wasn't the case. I also told her my actual nail was broken and she must've forgotten while taking the acrylic nail off causing me to bleed (it hurt so much). I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt since it was my first time but I wouldn't actually come here again.

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

Once you become an "usual" customer, the good service goes out the door. There is a revolving door for staff.
