Had the worst experience for a pedicure today.. middle aged esthetician trimmed my toes nails so short that there was nothing left to file.. carelessly scraped the skin near my ankles without realizing that she is rubbing the pumice stone on the boney part of my foot, it was so bad that it started bleeding.. we don't go for a $53 pedicure to leave the place injured.. there was no manager to speak to.. not going back ever! read more

This is the salon my friends and I usually frequent for our medi/pedis. They always do a good job, the massage chairs are comfy and the place is clean. I like the sitting area where they provide coffee/tea. I think they even have cocktails if you request it. read more

L'Amour Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

I moved to the area last year and tried out so many salons. I have been a regular at Lamour for almost a year now and I love it! I always get a dip manicure and they have so many great options to choose from. Jessica #2 is my go to girl and she does an amazing job every time. read more

In to simply have my acrylic nails soaked off. I had an appointment scheduled for this, but was completely ignored for a half and hour...absolutely because I wasn't scheduled to purchase another service. This is TERRIBLE business practice! Just because I'm taking a break from acrylics for a while to heal my nail beds, I probably would have come back here again. Not now, as my goal now will be to spread the news to everyone I know about this pathetic establishment! read more

My hand on the left, what I wanted on the right. I specifically said over and over I want the SNS French Base over my whole nail. Instead my tech picks out a similar color. I stop her and tell her again that I want the SNS French base color, it's sitting right on her counter, I'm pointing at it, but she reassured me that what she picked out is the same color even though I told her it was too pink. She applies it to one 1 finger and shows me, I again say no it's too pink, she says it will look better once she's done. This is the outcome. I'm unhappy. She was very polite and I was polite but after sitting for hours at the salon and spending $50, I am very disappointed. I likely will not be going back. read more

This place is so horrible I would give them zero stars if it was possible. No chip polishing was the worst. Brenda did it and the owner said it was fine. Goes to show you their quality of work!! read more

I walked in here today for a fill knowing I had an appointment but they said oh no she on vacation Well no one even got up to look at the appointment book and no one said oh that's ok sure come on in and we will find you a seat they just sat there and looked at each other and me I asked can anyone one else do it ? More stares finally one of them said yes pick a color Sue the owner was right there the whole time and didn't say shit and she knows I come in there all the time plus I tip 5 bucks on a fill That is no customer service. I won't be back read more

Disappointed in this place! Wish I would have looked up the reviews prior because it looks like many have had similar experiences to me. They booked wayyyy too many people for the same time appointment and I had to wait an hour for my manicure. Please just tell me you are too busy instead of overbooking so I don't waste my time! No one came up to me to apologize for the wait/keep me updated on the wait. Did not seem like they cared much for my business. Won't be coming back read more

The only reason this place is getting 3 stars is because my no chip lasted 3 weeks and still looked really good. I walked in with my mother in law on a Saturday afternoon for 2 manicures - 1 no chip and 1 regular - with no appointment. We didn't wait long but the nails stations were full. The staff was rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. It was a plus that they had staff that wasn't Asian so there was some English mixed into the chatter. The topics of conversation were very 'adult' and there were children in the area. Someone's fertility and weekend (evening) plans to conceive are not things I care to listen to. The overall atmosphere of the place didn't make me want to return - although the service they provided was excellent. My no chip, French manicure was $50. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!! Rude! Obnoxious! Disrespectful!! Horrible!!! I used to go to a L'Amour Nails in Hawaii and they were so awesome. So when I seem they had one in Peoria I was super happy. I haven't even gone and I have made up my mind that I'll never go. I called and made a appt which was smooth. Then I called the next day because my sister wanted to go. I asked the lady if it was possible to fit another person at my appt time. She said it was fine. I told her my sister wanted a Gel Polish Change for both feet and hands. The lady I spoke to asked why I wanted a Gel Polish Change on her feet. I told her "because she does?" Then she kept asking , "but why? We don't recommend that because of fungus..." I told her we were paying her for service and asked why she was questioning it. She then began to say if I want a Gel Polish Change it'll cost me $40 just for that. Are you kiddin me?! Do you want money or not? read more

We have an amazing experience everytime we come here! Everyone is very friendly and makes sure you are taken care of properly. The place is very clean and the pedicures always feel wonderful. It's very reasonably priced and my nails are always perfect. read more

L'Amour Nails - Getting wedding ready with some pedicures!! We love this place! - Nail Salons Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Sue was a great nail tech and she was very friendly and helpful in helping me to figure out what I wanted to do with my nails. I didn't want anything high maintenance so she helped me find a polish that would look nice even if I happened to chip it (which I haven't!) Complimentary wine, soda or water while you wait and a nice big tv in the waiting area. The store is also very clean with comfortable pedicure chairs that helped me to relax while she was massaging my feet. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

I have both good and bad things to say, as well as a recommendation. My recommendation is make an appointment, do not just walk in. I have been to this salon twice, it is clean, well kept, and has a HUGE selection of gel nail polish to choose from. Almost too many, I spent several minutes looking at the colors trying to decide. Both times I when in for a gel manicure I was a walk in, no appointment. The price was comparable to other nicer salons I have been to and I like the location at Grand Prairie. The bad, this is where the missing star comes in. I felt rushed and the nail technician did not have enough time for me. Each time I went in the nail technician kept getting interrupted by clients that had appointments. I also left the salon both time with bloody cuticles because the technician was not paying attention when cutting them and was filing to hard and too fast on my nails. I would go back to this salon because of the selection of colors, the variety of services offered, the location, and the cleanliness. Also their gel manicure lasts longer. read more

I couldn't be happier with my mani and pedi I got here before vacation. My nails don't ever stay polished and so far it's 8 days!!! read more

L'Amour Nails - 8 days in and no chips. Honestly that's never happened before my gel manicure at L'amour. Thanks Kate for an awesome job! - Nail Salons Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

I've always had fantastic service here. Whenever I call for an appointment they are always very accommodating and get me booked at whatever time/day I ask for. The color selection for gel manicures is FANTASTIC. I've never been to another salon that has even close to the amount L'Amour has. Every technician that's done my nails has been great. My gel manicure that I got for vacation has lasted a whole two weeks (and counting). Would definitely recommend! read more

This salon is the poster child for bad customer service. While getting my nails done by one of the more professional and attentive techs, the owner "Sue" sat down to blatantly talk about a client that no one wanted to serve. On another occasion I had the misfortune of getting Sue. Not only did she do a botched and hurried job, I had to literally point out step by step what she needed to do to my nails, because she was preoccupied with monitoring the other clients, technicians and phone. I now buy my own gel polishes to use with my last home LED light and save a ton of money and frustration. read more

Absolutely love this place. I don't trust anyone else to do my nails. My fill usually lasts me 3 weeks to a month and never chips. The technicians are always so kind and accommodating. I have come in asking for some crazy designs several times before and they always do a fantastic job. Always offer you a drink, a place to sit, are accurate with wait times, etc. I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

This place seemed amazing at first. I came in on my hour lunch break and asked if they had availability now. The lady had said yes and showed me back to a chair. She then let me sit there for a half hour and never came back. I ended up leaving after wasting my whole lunch sitting in a chair. When I walked up she wouldn't even make eye contact with me so I just walked out. I have never had such horrible service at a place before that is based on customer service. I do not recommend this place at all read more

The ONLY reason they get 2 stars is because their gel manicure stays on longer than any other manicure I've ever had. Although its over priced and they do not massage, this is the only reason I continue going here. Their customer service is TERRIBLE. Like others have noted, they are disrespectful to customers and coworkers, extremely rude and obnoxious - especially Tara!! Almost to the point of being racist... I would never come here for a pedicure because they do not pay attention to you and they try to get as many customers at once to make more money, I over heard one say today. read more

I know this place stays busy. A lot of my friends don't really like it much. I know what girls do a great gel manicure. Pedicures are ok. I usually just get a toe polish change. I like that they have a variety of colors. They offer you wine or soda or water. They are nice but not always attentive. It just depends i guess. But i keep going. I like my nails. read more

On my 40th birthday my son was sick so my husband stayed home with him (after we had to cancel our dinner plans) and suggested that my daughter and I get out and do something fun. I asked my mom if she wanted to go get pedicures with my daughter and I. Around 2pm I called to make an appointment for 3 people for 4:30 that same day. The said "sure! No problem!" We walked in a few minutes early and were told to sit. After about 20 minutes, they said they were ready for us. Kind of pointless to have an appointment, right? They took us back to a private room with only 2 chairs. I politely mentioned that my appointment was for 3 people. They then said my daughter could just sit on my lap and just get her toes painted. They were pushing me to do this because it was cheaper when in reality, it was because they were busy, and doing a child's pedicure is a waste of their time. Oh, when a seven year old is sharing a chair with you, it isn't relaxing and using the massage system is pointless. Besides the fact that my daughter was disappointed that she wasn't getting the full pedicure like I promised her. I should've walked out right then. They offered us drinks (ok, nice) but then some random old guy brought them to us, and they weren't what we asked for. My tub started draining on its own, was filled with cold water, and when I told the the lady that came to check on us , she totally ignored the problem. Then, two other women came and sat down to do the pedicures...and then proceeded to go back and forth doing other customer's fingernails, and my toenails. Gross and not relaxing at all. Oh and by the way, I also made an appointment to get a gel manicure. It wasn't even mentioned by anyone (except me - twice). Needless to say, I walked out without a manicure. Awful. Won't ever be back. They only care about quantity, not quality. This place is awful. Happy 40th to me. read more

The experience I had here was by far the absolute worse experience I have ever had at any establishment in any city or country I have ever lived in. The people that work here are rude, unprofessional and a disgrace to their craft and community. They do not take care for their work or any responsibility for issuing poor quality service. The manager explicitly stated that she doesn't care about complaints or reviews, and employees put their hands on and threaten to whoop their customer's ass in the parking lot, in addition to openly disrespecting their customers in front of a full salon. I am reporting my experience here to all appropriate licensing and regulatory organizations. read more

Nice place. First time I went in, I was a little nervous because they weren't overly friendly, but they did a satisfactory job. A friend and I got the gel nail manicure and about a week, a few of my nails chipped. My friends nails were fine, so I went back to see if they would fix mine. They redid every nail that had issues and even added a little sparkle when I said I liked the girl's nails next to me. They didn't charge me for any of it. I came back the following week with another friend to get a pedicure and they were very nice. They even offer you water, soda or wine! read more

I have gone to this place two times. The first time I had this girl Vicky. She was horrible and could not draw a design on my toes to save her life. The second time they were overbooked or just took too many walk-ins. We had an appointment for 3 of us to get Pedi's. Two of us were seated and a few minuets later the 3rd was told to sit. Another worker told her to get up because that was not her seat. needless to say I was the only one out of the 3 to get our scheduled Pedi and I was just a rush job and still had to pay full price. I will NEVER go back! read more

Love love love them. I am always showing them pictures off of pintrest and my nails always look identical to the pictures. They serve free wine you can't beat that! And the staff has you cracking up the whole time! My usual nail lady is kate! She is AWESOME! read more

I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! Customer service is horrible. They are rude and they talk bad about their customers. I went with my sister and i was not allowed to sit next to her while getting our pedis because we didn't make appointments. What kinda crap is that??? The pedicure was horrible too. My nails were crooked and the massage was way to light. And they try to get you to pay cash so they can save on credit card fees. Bad business practice. read more

It's hit or miss but as far as places in Peoria to walk in for a mani-pedi, it is better than most. I do however find them a bit overpriced. Ask for Sharon. She is good. They do serve wine....so....that helps. read more

I have been going to L'Amour Nails for over two years. I've gotten manicures, pedicures, and gel polish there. The first time I went was before my sister's wedding - they let us bring booze and snacks in, and were very accommodating - we had 7 people getting both pedis and manis. Since that time, I've really only received gel nail polish, which I love - not quite the commitment of fake nails, but they stay on perfectly until I ultimately pick them off after about 3 weeks. The way gels work is they paint what looks like regular polish on your nail, then have you stick your hand in a little UV light thing to "bake" the nails on. Once you're done, they are completely dried, no need to be careful with your keys or arriving home to find the nail polish has gotten all smooshed. Anyways, after getting gel nails done at a few other places around the area, L'Amour is by far the best. They also have the best color selections I've seen anywhere.....I would say they have over 50 colors to choose from (can also do french manicure, which looks super natural and stays on even longer) - other places I've been where they offer gel polish, they've only had 10 or so colors. The gels run about $25 - $40, with a french manicure being a little more expensive. Staff is pretty friendly, and as long as you pick the right time (not right before Homecoming, etc) the wait isn't usually too long. read more

I went there with my wedding party and was assured over the phone that they could accommodate a party of 8 on a Thursday evening. We were there for 4 hours! And I don't mean I got done and waited on others. It literally took 4 hours to do a shellac and pedicure for just me! The staff was extremely rude. When I called to make the appointment, I told them exactly what each person would be getting so that they could be prepared. When my sister sat down to her her acrylics, the tech argued with her and said that they didn't have anyone listed for acrylics and that she didn't have time for her. I was livid! I was paying for everyone to get their nails done as my gift and I had called to give a list of what everyone would be getting. My sister finally got her acrylics after I had to get stern, but it was a hack job! The woman cut my sister's fingers multiple times and afterwards, her fingers were bruised. Terrible service, terrible mani/pedis, and overpriced! read more

I wouldn't even give them 1 star if I didn't have to. The staff here are rude! They talk badly about each other and their customers while you are sitting right there. They always seem bothered when you walk in if they are busy or not. The last time I was here for a manicure the girl didn't even talk to me she talked to another customer (I assume a regular) and another staff member and ignored me completely. I'm not saying we have to share our secrets but a little polite conversation seems appropriate when I am paying for your services. Services which are more expensive than some of the other places in town. One positive is that their gel does stay on for a long period of time but that's the only positive I have about this place. read more

I took my daughter in here for a spring break adventure! I know - spring break in Peoria?? Well this place provides the best experience we could have dreamed. We started with a pedicure. They have a special room for only 2 people. It was perfect! We were able to talk and laugh and simply enjoy the experience. Then we had a manicure! Shannon and Jamie did these. They were fun and fabulous! These gals are good at what they do! My daughter and I left with a fresh wonderful feeling. So glad we had the chance to enjoy an afternoon here! Definitely will return! read more

I have had nothing but amazing service here and always leave loving my nails. I am constantly showing pictures from Pinterest and that are able to copy the design or even improve it. read more

When I first started going to this salon a few years ago, it was great! I used to love the pedicures. I would regularly get the gel manicures and pedicures. However, the quality of the pedicures went steadily downhill. But I kept getting the gel manicures. They were, at that point, the best I had ever received. The last one I had lasted a week. I got tired of being told that I needed to get something other than a French manicure. I also got tired of rudeness towards other customers. They were never blatently rude to me, but the customer service leaves much to be desired. If you aren't one of their favorites, then you don't get quality service. And it's way over priced. read more

Worst pedicure I've ever had. Started with a young girl "in training," who had no idea what she was doing. When asked for another pedicurist, she was on her phone the entire time. SO RUDE! No massage, the polish lasted 2 days and I ended up with an ingrown nail! Don't give your money to this place!! read more

It took me a long time to find the perfect place to get my nails done - Lamore nails is the best! They do such a great job on my nails and always add a fun detail of glitter or a design. They offer complimentary refreshments and really make the experience relaxing. Their customer service is excellent! I feel like they truly appreciate me as a customer and it keeps me coming back over and over. I'll never go anywhere else to get my nails done! read more

Called ahead to find out what the wait time was to get my nails done, the lady said no wait time. I went there and nobody bothered to come and do the nails. I asked about 3 times as to when someone would do my nails as I had an event to go to. The reply was always 5 minutes. After waiting for close to 30 minutes and asking about the delay, the lady who was managing the salon rudely says that "you can leave if you have to go somewhere". Ridiculously rude and terrible customer service skills especially after having me wait for half hour after I called and enquired about the wait time. Will never step foot into this salon ever and sent a post about this to my friend circle to never to go here again. Terrible experience read more

Very accomodating for walk-ins and wonderful relaxing pedicure, great chairs and complimentary beverages. I'm going back for sure!

I think this place is great! I have been there about 4 times now I think of these girls as friends now. they have like 300 gel colors to choose from for gel nails.they offer a free hot stone massage for this cold weather which is totally awesome. I think the owner runs a great business. I love how the girls are serious about their work but also know how to have fun and make a great atmosphere. I have had tara for my nails and also my pedi 2 times I think she is a very hard working young girl I like to talk to her about things she makes me feel comfortable. overall I love this place! I would recommend it to anyone out there! read more

HORRIBLE experience! I had called to schedule an appointment for myself and my two daughters. When I arrived, there were 6 other people ahead of us, all who had scheduled at the same time as well. It was apparent that they never turn down an appointment, even if they are overly booked. The lady very rudely told us 'You pick out color and wait.' They finally got us soaking, and after 30 minutes past appointment time, we still did not have a tech. Actually, there was one tech lined up to do the next 5 people. It was ridiculous. So, when I asked to speak to owner, she lied and said she was not the owner (I knew she was, I had been there before.) A man (Gary Jones -part owner) came over, and never apologized. Gary honestly seemed afaid of the other part owner (Phuong Bui) -a short Vietnamese women. He said 'Well, she is just stressed, I guess." Then She came flying over and yelled, seriously yelled, at me -in front of my children (6 & 7 year old girls.) She told me "You're just a $28 pedicure to me. Nothing! You leave!" I had not been rude, raised my voice, or swore at her. I merely asked why did she schedule the appointment if she did not have the staff. So, my girls and I had to dry off our feet and my kids had big tears in their eyes and we had to walk out. The expression on the other patrons was mortification. It was ridiculous! I would avoid this nail salon and the crazy owner (who is there all the time) at all costs!!! I can also tell you from my previous experience there, that they ARE talking about the patrons behind their backs. I witnessed it myself, and asked. The lady then told me in English what they were saying -which was not something I will repeat in this forum. Terrible experience! And too expensive for what they provide. read more

Well, I learned my lesson to plan ahead. My regular nail spot had no openings this afternoon, so I checked reviews and L'Amour Nails seemed to sound good. I will never go back. First, they don't give any hand massage with their no chip manicure, but they don't tell you this - so I'm not really sure why this manicure costs 70% more than a regular manicure when other places include the massage and it costs 25% more. I also had to tell her 3 times that I want my nails rounded instead of square and she argued with me that they looked better square. My gel polish is on the outsides of my nails so as it grows out, it will peel easier. I have had a better manicure doing it myself with the gel polish I purchased at Sally Beauty. Second, there is a big sign that hot stone massage is free "with pedicure". They don't tell you until it's over and you ask that it is only with their more expensive pedicures - but the sign doesn't say that. And I have the opposite problem with my pedicure polish - it doesn't cover my whole nail, so it looks lopsided on some nails. They have 2 TV's but they were showing basketball on one and golf on the other - really??? The place was a mess - towels thrown everywhere and no on seeming to want to clean them up. The only good thing was the massage chair - HOWEVER, when they do a combo manicure/pedicure, they put a TV tray in your lap to do the manicure, so you can't really use the massage chair because it shakes the TV tray all over. Overall, not a good experience at all. read more
