MN has been my go to nail salon since forever. There is a newer nail tech there 'Tina'. Not talkative. Not gentle. Extremely unprofessional. She barely messaged my feet (I am on the all day as a hairstylist) I asked her to rub my arches, which she did once with her thumb. Then we moved on to my dip nails..... she always seems to be rushing. She was done with one hand and began the process on the next. Before she did, she....and I cannot make this up.... lifts up her shirt stretches the front of her pants and scratches her belly. Did she re-sanitize? No, ma'am she did not. A couple of nails were snagged off and were already sore. She kept filing after I already told her to stop and she argued back she was getting it even. By the end of it, after using the UV light, my top coat was blotched and my fingers are throbbing from the damaged quick. P.s. I'm a 10 year cosmetologist and a qualified, licensed instructor.. read more

My husband bought me 2 $85 gift cards for Christmas. We ended up moving and I could not find the cards. When I finally found them, they had expired 3 months prior. We explained this to them but they refused to take them or give us and kind of credit at all for them. It was just crappy of them to do that. read more

Magic Nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Russellville, Arkansas

The owner of this business is horrible! I was there to get a pedi, manicure and paint my nails with gel. 2 hours later my pedicure was complete. The lady owner told the person doing my nails that I couldn't have a manicure. She said "we are way too far behind no manicure just throw some gel on her. She said it multiple times. All the owners of this business care about is money. They always try to get you to buy more that what you want. I made her mad in the beginning because she wanted me to get a $50 pedicure instead of what I wanted which was a $30 pedicure. This business doesn't care about thier customers only MONEY. They don't even deserve 1 star!!! HORRIBLE PLACE!!! read more

So I can across this spot while visiting next doors hit spot! I read the reviews and decided to still give it a shot! I walked in and was greeted by a nice lady! I asked if I could get a pedi and was seated and tended too right away! I didn't have to wait and sounds messed up but I understood everyone there! They have complimentary drinks too! This place is very nicely spaced out! It's nice and bright! I would have never been able to tell that from the store front! The prices where a little higher than I usually pay! Actually like $15-$20 more but hey they got to keep up with everyone else right! Any who! My guy was very nice and took time and did all the steps in the pedicure that I picked! Which was the pearl one which was $50! It was relatively quite in there too! Which was nice! I didn't feel like people were talking about me in a different language! The massage chair was on point too! It was powerful enough to get some of the knots out from my earlier workout! The only part I wasn't a fan of was the cheese grader that the guy used on my foot! It was kind of painful tbh! Thank god he was quick with that tool! My over all experience was nice! The polish was not spot on but oh well! I enjoyed myself and the guy did good! read more

My daughter and I came for pedicures and manicures and we were so pleased! The young lady that did my pedicure (I'm so sorry I didn't get her name) was so thorough getting off my calluses, but was gentle around any problem areas on my toes (warning, TMI: I take a kickboxing class where I'm often barefoot which causes some tearing on the bottom of my big toes). So many places don't get all the calluses off, but she managed to do it while also being gentle! And Randy did a great job with my acrylic set, even with my very talkative husband asking him a million questions. They were awesome with my daughter's mani-pedi and we just had a great time. We will be back! read more

Please save your money and heed all the previous warnings and avoid this place. I certainly should have. The service is beyond poor and Wendy thinks it's amusing. read more

Perhaps my experience with this place will help you decide if you want to go here, or take your business elsewhere. I hate leaving negative reviews, but some stories need to be told. Iwas a customer here for years. I went here for pedicures, and was always happy with them. Then, last year, I began getting dip nails. That's about when things started getting really weird, unorthodox, literally intolerable, to the point that it's no longer acceptable. My boyfriend bought his mom a gift certificate for a mani/pedi for her birthday. I went with her while she redeemed her GC, and she was getting her pedicure in the chair, when a group of 4 young adult women walked in wanting pedicures. They made my boyfriend's 77 YO MOTHER give up her seat, and finished painting her toenails WHILE SHE STOOD on the DIRTY floor, so they could quickly seat the 4 young women together right away. My friend that introduced me to Magic Nails in the first place quit going over a year ago. She said the service was getting worse, they disregarded her requests, and she contracted a fungus on her skin near the nail bed that has yet to go away. She has started enjoying the better quality service of one of their competitors. They accept credit cards, but insist that you pay in cash when it's time to pay. They will say their machine is not working, but if you absolutely have no other way to pay, they will go ahead and charge your credit card (alas.... the machine works after all!), but it will be for more than the service. I began getting dip nails last year. The first service was $35 and included tips. It was a no UV light dip. By about the 4th time I returned for a dip, the price started gradually going up each time by another $5, while the service was getting worse. They began curing my dip nails with the UV light and gel topcoat, instead of the no-UV hardener that goes with the dip, which causes discoloration and nicotine colored staining by the second week, and my French manicure would become embarrassingly yellow (I don't smoke!). With the no-UV hardener, my nails would stay clean looking and beautiful until time for the next manicure. On 3 occasions, the tech working on my nails got up and left in the middle of my manicure, leaving me guessing what I was to do, next. On one occasion, the tech was very ill, and should not have been there to begin with, and left me for 45 minutes while I sat there with my unfinished nails. On my last (and final) visit, the tech took a trimmer out of a dirty package, used it on me, and returned it to the same dirty package, and put it in the drawer to be used on the next person...ugh. She then picked up her purse midway through my manicure and left for the day, without ever saying a word! Someone else eventually came around to finish my manicure after a long wait, that time. The last time I went, I made sure I asked John (owner) how much my service would be, and he said $45. Wendy (John's wife, co-owner) did my nails. I don't know what she did, but several nails appeared to have bubbles underneath the polished surface, and they looked awful. She tried to get me to approve of the way my nails looked, and when I didn't, she attempted getting away with only repeating the last step over again, before it was obvious that she had to soak off and re-do the nails that looked bad. 2 hours, 15 minutes later, she told me that the total was $55! I was not only getting a BAD manicure, but now, I'm paying for the time she had to spend correcting her own mistakes? When she said the price was $55, I questioned her, and she insisted that it had always been $55, which I knew to be a lie. I usually tipped them well, but when I did not tip for this terrible, overpriced service, she actually groused, and pulled a face (like, "where's my tip?") as if she expected more on top of that. That was the final straw, for me. If, after reading this, you still want to go here, I have a list of recommendations: Don't tip TOO generously, if at all. You will be taken advantage of every time after that. Bring plenty of cash, or expect an awkward situation when you're ready to leave. Expect the price to go up every time, once you've become an established customer. Expect them to browbeat you into services you don't want, and when you say no, expect an attitude and a less than stellar experience. Pretty much everything is an argument, from getting the service you want, to paying how you want, to paying what is fair, to getting the nail tech you want. A "relaxing treat" suddenly escalates into an ordeal. read more

So I normally don't bash businesses... but I will NEVER GO BACK TO MAGIC NAILS IN RUSSELLVILLE... I went to get my nails done a couple weeks ago on a Thursday got them done no problems. I started to notice the next day that they were very red and very swollen and where the tips were looked like they were bruised. My place of work I have to wear gloves so I though allergic reaction to the gloves. After work I took my gloves off and washed my hands really well and took Benadryl. I woke up Saturday morning and they were so much worse I could hardly pick anything up.. I went a seen my mom who is a lob and she said it looked like a fungus. I immediately called magic nails and they told me to come in Sunday after work and they would take a look at them. I went in they told me oh it's a allergic reaction and they took them off. I thought okay no problem. On Monday my skin began to crack and hurt. I went to my doctor on Tuesday.. who even told me that I have a FUNGUS and gave me a treatment plan. I called magic nails again on Tuesday and I told them what my doctor said they pretty called me and my doctor liars but agreed to give me my money back. I went in there and got half of my money back. I talked to the manager Wendy they next day and agreed to give me a FULL refund. Me and husband went to get my other half of my money and they REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING BACK. Instead asked me for my doctors number because they were going to talk to my doctor and tell him that it's not a fungus... I will never recommend them to anyone. I will never go back there. I have been getting my nails done since I was 11 years old and have never once had this happen to me. It will take several months to get this cleared up so will that being said I won't be able to get my nails for my wedding day, and couldn't get them done for my pictures and couldn't have close ups of my ring because of what magic nails did. They also didn't unwrap any of their utensils they used on my nails. read more

I took my daughter for a girls day to get our nails done. We told them we wanted 2 dip nails and polish for my daughter. They started mine and my sisters while she still looked for her color. We were nearly done when 2 other women came in to get their nails done and asked if they could fit them in. They said yes in about 5 minutes. We waited another 10 minutes and they still hadnt started to paint my daughters nails. Not until I got up to leave did they acknowledge her. Her feelings were hurt because they never painted her nails. We just left. And will not be back. They are not professional at all. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. read more

The service i received was HORRIBLE!!! I went in to get my nails filled and re-polished. The woman was going super fast, not paying attention to what she was doing, and got acrylic ALL OVER my fingers, as if that wasn't enough. I proceeded to tell her the color that I wanted and she totally disregarded what i had chose and used a different polish. Then, I went home and took a shower and when i got out, my gel polish had peeled and chipped on ALL of my nails. I went back in and got THE SAME GIRL that messed them up to begin with, and lo and behold the woman uses the SAME polish that i asked her not to use. I didn't even get my keys in my ignition before i noticed the polish bubbled up and started to peel off AGAIN!!! I got back out of my car and went in for them to fix it again. Finally, I had a different woman to help me, and i told her that it wasn't even the polish i had picked out, and that i wanted the one i had picked out, and she almost refused to take off all of the polish off my other fingers, to use the correct polish. So, I told her that i wanted her to just remove the polish and put a clear coat on my nails and I would just go somewhere else where they will listen to me. She finally redid ALL of my nails with the original polish that i had picked out. I WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK TO A PLACE WILL SUCH HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Dont waste your money, they aren't looking for great customer satisfaction. They are just worried about getting people in and out and not caring about the way the final outcome is. I would rather have my nails done by a toddler than this place. read more

I am new to town and was not impressed. Three of us went together. One wanted her nails painted, and other two pedicures. I was paying for all since the other two were my daughter and her college roommate. The entire time we were pestered to purchase more than we had chosen, at a higher price of course. Since my daughter and her roommate weren't paying for thiers, this made them very uncomfortable. During my pedicure the lady was obviously very upset with the front desk lady. The amount of eye rolling was almost comical. BUT, the lady who did my pedicure cut not only one, but both of my feet while angrily trimming next to my big toe! I am still healing a week later!! Ouch!! And then to not even acknowledge it at all! I will not be returning....and sad thing is, who knows who the owner is!! I don't even know if they care. read more
