ZERO STARS Hi. I wanted to write in to tell you about an…read moreexperience I had while getting pedicure at Cosmo, today (Sunday about 11-12noon). The gentleman providing the pedicure cut my 2nd tip of my toe with the cheese grader (callous remover) and I could tell he felt very bad, but it hurt and took about 4-5 hours to quit bleeding. I didnt make a big deal out of it in your store because there were other customers there and because I could tell he felt bad. However, I was still charged full price for my pedicure $56.00 and now have no nail polish on my toes because my toe was actively continuing to bleed as he finished the pedicure and I didnt want the wound site contaminated, plus I have a pretty painful wound site on my toe now. I have enclosed a picture so you can see the severity of the issue. If I was diabetic, this could possibly turn into a severe wound or loss of toe or foot from infection. At the very least, I hope you will emphasize the importance of using the cheese grader (callous remover) much more carefully to all your employees in the future. Sincerely, A sad customer Jennifer Burrell Sent from my iPhone There was no reply to this email at all. I sent this to the email listed on Cosmo Spa Nails website and it was ignored. If I could upload photos of my toe you would be appalled. It's still very painful to walk on and not healed all the way. I would not recommend this place to anyone and I will never go back. i understand accidents and having a bad day but to ignore the situation like nothing happened, then charge me and then ignore the email I sent privately attempting to rectify privately is horrible.

I have been going to Kim's Nails for 15+ years. They are the ONLY nail salon I will go to, A…read morecouple times over the years I have gone to different nail salons out of convenience at the time. Never again. Each time when I returned to Kim's they fixed the fungus and acrylic breaks of the other salons. I have been to every nail technician at Kim's and can attest that each one is very good. They have all been there for years; no turnover. You can specify a certain technician when you sign in or call in for your appt. I usually walk-in and get the next available tech. I have found them to be very eager to please. I have never had a pedi at Kim's; I believe they have 5 or so pedi chairs. My normal service is an acrylic fill-in with regular or no-chip polish. They do take credit /debit cards (except for Sunday's I believe due to the bank card processing system they use which is down on Sundays?), but tips cannot be put on the card so I always make sure I am prepared. I usually just hit the atm on the way to Kim's and pay cash for the service and the tip. Amazingly, the prices have never increased in 15 years. The staff is friendly; sometimes silly/funny. Seems like most people who go there are regulars or repeat customers, I am always greeted by name and notice many others greeted by first name too; the customer's are friendly also. Kim's is the only nail salon I trust.

I have had quite a few people recommend this place to me and after finally getting my nails done…read morehere, I can see why. I've had gel sets from here before, fills, and I just got back from my first manicure (no chip) and pedicure here. They now have a woman who works there named Stacy who speaks perfect English and is very, very friendly. Don't get me wrong, though, all of the people here speak English and are well spoken. I mention this because I know this is a concern to some people when trying to find places to get their nails done. I had a deluxe type of pedicure where they exfoliated, pumiced, and dipped my feet in hot wax. I also got a no chip manicure directly after. All of this together cost $65. The price is a little high compared to some other places, but I've also been to cheaper places and was extremely disappointed. Everyone who works there is very nice and even the men who work there are perfectionists. I also paid close attention to how they cleaned the foot baths and watched as each employee took fresh tools out of sealed packages for each guest. I tend to bring in pictures of what I want and I recommend anyone else do the same, but I am sure they'll give you results you want. The only reason I'm not giving them five stars is because of the price (the cost of fills are almost as much as a full set!).

I'm now five months out from my experience, and my nails are STILL healing…read more After my appointment, I developed what appeared to be a severe infection or irritation underneath all of my fingernails. The itching was extremely intense, my nails were bleeding, and the damage was much worse than anything I had ever experienced from a nail service. Looking back, I honestly feel like I should have reported this business to the health department because something clearly was not right with the condition my nails were left in. Five months later, the itching has finally gone away, but my nails are still yellow and brittle. I can still feel peeling and damage underneath the nails, and my thumb in particular still has noticeable damage that I can physically feel. This has been a long and frustrating healing process, and I would strongly encourage anyone considering getting their nails done here to be very cautious. No nail service should leave you dealing with this kind of damage months later.

Whenever I'm in Valpo, I drive all the way across town to come here to get a mani or pedi. I…read morestopped in at a different nail salon across the street first, but there was a wait and I was in a big rush. I was driving around aimlessly and then saw this place. It is probably the nicest nail salon I've ever been in and it's huge! They have the big, leather massage pedicure chairs, a waiting area and a separate section in the back for drying your nails. Also, they have two or three flat-screen tv's to watch. The guy, who I assume is the owner, is very nice. At my first visit, I told him I was in a big hurry. One girl started my manicure, but after the owner finished up with his client, he personally came over and finished my nails since he knew I needed to get out of there soon. It was the quickest manicure I've ever had, but also one of the best. It was very neatly done. i believe they offer additional services besides mani/pedis, but I have yet to partake in one. The staff is friendly without being overbearing. I hate salons where, even after being given the hint to leave me alone and just be quiet, they continue to try to chat me up. It's not going to make your tip any bigger. As if!

Charged me $80 for a FILL with a design on only 2 fingers. What was the design? A simple sun, a dot…read moreand a couple lines. The guy who did my nails was making fun of whoever previously did my set saying the shape wasn't good, then he ripped open my blister, and left me with very sore red cuticles. During the appointment I suspected he was making fun of someone by his tone of voice laughing and joking. Do I know for sure? No, but turns out I heard from a girl who used to work there, he's the owner, and does uber but sits and waits for the people to cancel the ride during his lunch break to scam people out of money. She also said they had bug/rat infestations, and he washed his dog's bed in the workplace washer and dryer, etc. She had pictures to prove everything. So yes, he was probably saying rude things. If you're the owner reading, first of all ew ew ew, second of all just because you're speaking another language your clients don't speak, doesn't mean every language in the world uses the same tone to convey rude words which are easily picked up on.
