    I've been going here for a looong time and never have had one complaint till today. I got a new nail stylist I believe by the name Emma or Emily and I was extremely dissatisfied. I got dip nail and she coated them more than 15 times. They feel so heavy and thick. And the colors I had picked out turned out to be so much darker than I wanted considering she kept coating it on. Didn't even clean under them when they were done so I have flakes of polish from my last gel set still under them. She acted annoyed when I would make a suggestion about something I wanted differently.. also told me they can't do any French tip color beside white which I know is not true. She also seemed like she was in an extreme rush when I asked her to file my nails a little more or shape them more.. but didn't have a probably taking a long time to coat them as much as she could. There were a couple nails that had a dip in them and she noticed and tried to fix it then just gave up and left 3 of my nails with holes in the gel. She also filed my bare skin and left me with 2 cuts on one of my fingers. I also told a friend about it who also goes there and she said she had Emma do her nails before and had an extremely similar experience. Don't think I'll be coming back as sad as it is. Not to mention for plain color nails with no design and horrible shaping it was 55 dollars !!!

    I am so happy that I came to La Bella Nail Spa! They are by appointments only, which I love! The atmosphere was wonderful and my nail tech was AWESOME! Seriously, if you are looking for a salon with a friendly atmosphere, this is the place! I am so pleased!!! I can't recommend La Bella enough!

    This place was highly recommended and when I looked at the reviews I was excited to try it out. The lady who did my nails was nice, but she rushed my nails and seemed to be a little judgmental. She painted over cotton and hair fibers, she didn't prep the nails properly and she rushed me in and out. She said I didn't need anything done to my cuticles and I didn't need the full manicure. Like I mentioned she rushed it. I was done with my gel nails in 20 minutes and they did not look great at all. The colors didn't match the swatches, but I was told in natural light it would look how I envisioned. It didn't. I asked for a deep burgundy color and a silver glitter on my ring finger. As you can see from the photos, it's not a deep burgundy nor is it a beautiful bright silver glitter. It's more of a gray glitter. The application had MAJOR flaws. My nails had uneven bumps from where the polish wasn't properly layered and less than a week later the gel polish is peeling right off. I've had gel polish last for many many weeks and this is highly unusual. Once we were finished, I had notice that the top coat didn't seem to fully seal and the bumps were not only able to be felt but they were visible. I would've asked for them to be fixed, but she was already with another client and I didn't have the extra time for them to be soaked off and redone. I'm just overall disappointed as I was really looking forward to coming to this salon. I wish my experience matched the reviews and the recommendation. Update: I have lowered my rating to 1 from a 2. So in response to the response I received, the reservation was not under my name, it was under the brides. I was never asked to sign in or put my name anywhere and was immediately met by the nail tech to go sit and do my nails. I didn't know not having a my name written down meant I never came into your salon or was serviced. Again as I said I didn't make the reservation and not one person asked for my name. This is not a "wrong location" situation. This is you wanting a review removed because it makes you look bad and it should. The quality of what I received and how I was treated is not an experience anyone should have to go through do better and stop attempting to gaslight clients because they leave a bad review. I'm not removing it, because this happened at this location and people deserve to know about it.

    Regular nail polish chipped after one day.

    This place literally charges too much for any service they provide. I met this young lady who got a full set acrylic and brought her own nail polish with her. They charged her $40. It also depends on who does your service. If the owner does your nails, when she puts in that she did it, it brings it up $10. So her acrylic set was orgiballg $30 and it went up to $40 afterwards. I know this because I sat there and watched it happen. Anyways, my pedicure was $30 and it was a basic pedicure, nothing special. I chose a regular nail polish and the massage was fine. One day later and my nail polish is already chipped. Never had this happen before.

    For salons in Muncie, this is most definitely a step above the rest. You must have an apt, which is not the norm in town. By having an apt you will not wait for a nail tech or spend time waiting for others to finish. On the flip side, schedule out your apt for a week out minimum. The price point is also higher than most other salons in muncie. I've only gotten pedicures here but it will run you $45 up, where as other places in town are $25. You're definitely paying for the atmosphere as I dont think any of their products or techs do anything the other salons don't do. You can do upgrades like longer massage, hot stones (I highly recommend this), and full foot masks. I've had 2 different techs and both did a great, detailed job.. Overall its a great relaxing experience.

    Dip manicure.
    Alissa M.

    I had the owner/manager and she worked well! The reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 is that she cut my cuticle on two fingers when evening out the dip, but the color and style matched exactly what I wanted.

    open wound

    If I could give zero stars I would. Not only did I leave this salon paying $70 to leave with an open wound, it was also nothing like the picture I wanted. I'm definitely the type to also speak up in the nail salon and it was all "it's because of your nail beds" lol why doesn't my regular nail tech say the same and do the same?? I showed them the picture before MAKING sure that they were able to do it, for them to get half way through and tell me they couldn't so I had to sit and find a different design that was similar. It's crazy to me I was told this was the best of muncie. I never take the time to yelp review but to me this was beyond messed up and felt everyone should know what they're paying for.

    Best nail salon in Muncie! Not only is the staff friendly and helpful the lady's who do my nails always do an amazing job. I've never been disappointed with any set of nails I've gotten. Shout out to Nikki and Susan for always making my nails look perfect every time!

    This is by far my favorite nail salon in Muncie. I am consistently happy. They do a great job. They genuinely know what they are doing!!

The…read moresecond appt, I was charged for a pedicure that I didn't get (just got my toes polished) and a gel manicure that didn't cure properly. When I returned a 3rd time (only because my mom has her nails done here) it was a bit of an issue that I wanted the gel polish soaked off so my nails wouldn't get damaged by the grinder. But a young woman did them without issue and I left pleased. I went today, my mom had made an appt with the owner for me. I just wanted my gel polish soaked off and a manicure with new gel polish. I was told that it was a problem for them, that they had to use a grinder, that maybe I should find a new place to do it and on and on it went. So much so that I told the man (the owner Lily had delegated the task to him even though my appt was with her) that I didn't have any complaints and just wanted a new color yet he FOLLOWED ME to continue to tell me why it was a problem that I sit in a chair to let the polish soak off. I finally told him I wasn't stupid, that I understand the gel process, and that I had issues when I walked in but that he had now created issues. He said maybe I should find "an American salon" who didn't mind taking their time. I asked again that they just get the color off so I could leave. They left me with acetone wrapped fingernails for AN HOUR. You know what burns after being on your skin that long? Yep, acetone. The owner finally called me over to get the polish off and I think she realized how terrible the entire experience was because she said nothing and didn't charge me. Even my mom, who's gone there for years, said she will never go back after I told her what happened. No one should be treated like I was. Another patron even said as much after witnessing the ordeal.

    When I got there the ladies were very fast and did my nails well. I recommend this place !!! The…read moreplace was a bit sketchy looking but when I got in it was amazing I love my manicure so much if you are looking for a cheap good clean place to go to GO to Best Nails!!!
