This is usually my go to salon as it has pretty good prices and is right near my house...not anymore! I got a regular pedicure (which usually takes 30 minutes max). I sat down at 3:40 and didn't leave until 5:32... The first 80% of the pedicure was great but went downhill when she started doing the polish. She kept repainting my right big toe several times and it had about 20 layers of polish on it. I am not very confrontational, so I figured I would stay quiet and she would fix it. She didn't and finally the nail artist next to her called the manager over and told her to stop putting more coats on and left. Well she kept putting more coats on and he came back and took over for her. He eventually finished my foot (still bad, see attached photo), and got me out of there. I was very calm this entire time and did not once complain and tried to be very nice to everyone (the people next to me were more upset and vocal about it than I was) so when I went up to the front, he gave me the normal price and I asked for a discount as I had been there for almost 2 hours and there were people that came and left before me. He spoke with his manager who then said $5 off. I paid it with the meager discount just to get out of there. When driving home I was looking at my foot and the polish was just so bad. I am so it really disappointed in this experience and the fact that they refused to make it right. read more

I called and made a reservation. I arrived 5 minutes before my appointment. I wore a mask, it seemed like everyone else was wearing a mask. An older gentleman ushered me to a chair. In between the chairs was plexiglass, but not six feet away from the next chair. I sat in my chair as my feet soaked, and I sat, and I sat and I sat. I watched them usher more people in chairs. All of them were filled by now. Only three technicians working on clients 3 clients, the 7 others, waiting. I asked the woman next to me how long she had been sitting there, "35 minutes". I waited 25 minutes. No one said anything to me. I did the math, I was going to have to wait another 15 minutes before I was next. As I sat there pondering my options I noticed more people walking in, no masks, not socially distancing. I quickly got up and walked out. Not one word was said. Moral of the story, poor organization, not clean and definitely NOT COVID-19 cautious. read more

The people were nice but they seemed overwhelmed and taking on too much. Waited 20min with an appointment and while she did a decent job on my pedicure with cleaning my nails and calluses, once I said I wanted a nude color, she just did one coat and no top. Then when she did my manicure she didn't even fully remove my existing gel and just tried to stand it off. My nails weren't shaped or filed properly. She gave me a nail file when I paid and said I can keep it. Update: even worse after my hands dried from the lotion all my cuticles started bleeding cause she had over cut them. read more

I do not recommend at all. We came all the way from sacramento for my Bachelorette party and we decided to come here since everywhere else was busy. First impression was not so great they are not so clean. Second while doing my pedicure the lady that did them although she did her best the rest of the crew was so rude. There was a lady with a 4:30 appointment that walked in waited for 20 min and she made a comment a worker very disrespectful told her if she doesn't want to wait she can leave. My family and I decided to stop the process of pedicures to leave because we don't like the service. read more

I came here on the recommendation from a couple of friends that come here often. I needed gel on my toes and a gel manicure for my wedding. They were happy to accommodate me when I arrived without an appointment. The woman completing my work did question why I was not doing a full pedicure but was happy to oblige with my reasoning. Several other patrons were getting pedicures when I arrived and several more came in when I was getting my fingernails worked on. The process was clean and quick and not outrageously priced! I paid $20 for the gel on my toes and $30 for the gel manicure and stones added. I'll probably be back whenever I feel like treating myself or before vacations. read more

I got a dip manicure from Houng and it is beautiful. He is talented and quick. High prices though.

One star because there is no option for zero stars. Shame on the male nail tech who treated my TWELVE year old daughter like absolute garbage today. Not only was he incredibly rude to her, he mocked her and cut her several times. I'm sure it goes with out saying that her nails turned out terrible as well. When challenged with this, he chased my sister in law and again, TWELVE year old daughter out into the parking lot, flipping them off. My daughter was in tears. Shame on you and your nasty, DISGUSTING nail salon. You're lucky I live in California and she is just there visiting. Shame on you. read more

TRAGIC NAILS is hands down this is the worst nail experience I've ever had. Not one good thing about it. I have the most beautiful long natural nails and the lady hacked them and didn't even paint them all the way. Soak them in straight acetone without even wrapping them and my poor beautiful long nails disintegrated. There was dip polish all over my skin and she didn't even cut my cuticles. My nails we all different shapes and sizes. It was a horrific experience and I recommend running from this place. read more

Not very happy today. Probably my fault for my policy choice which requires 4 coats. But with price increases I really expect to leave satisfied. My nails are bubbly, streaky and I have gel polish along the cuticle. Pedicure was fine. But I'm sticking to doing my nails at home. read more

I have been getting my nails done here for almost 2 years, my past two experiences here have been disappointing . I like my nails long and I really love nail art this place has a problem with both. The lady doing my nails was just complaining the whole time about how long my nails are and when she was done she commented how long it took, and had the nerve to tell me not to question about the price next time. Whenever I go and show a picture of what I would like it's always too much to ask. And I break my nails sometimes so I go to get it fixed and the lady who did it was so rude, didn't care to match the color and charge me $10 for one nail repair. TEN DOLLARS FOR ONE NAIL? Do not recommend at all ! read more

This is the best hole in the wall find I've come across in such a long time! I've passed it a million times but was happy with my previous nail artist and had no reason to look elsewhere. Upon finding out my nail tech was retiring and selling the business I decided to try magic nails based on comparison of reviews and distance from my house. Ken did an amazing job and is a pleasure to be around. The overall atmosphere is laid back and upbeat. I paid slightly above average for a full set of acrylics which I don't mind at all given the quality of the work. I will definitely be back to see Ken for all my acrylic needs! read more

The young man who did my nails did such a poor job. He cut my cuticles in two places that caused them to bleed. He also used an air blower to dry my polish which caused some blue dust to land on my nails that I did not notice until I got home. Never bothered to clean under my nails even when I pointed it out to him and the filing was so uneven that I redid them when I got home. Do not waste your money. Even I could do a better manicure! read more

I tried them out for a new set with a Halloween theme. Not perfect, but very good and I'm satisfied. They were polite, quiet, accommodating, and quick. read more

I have never posted a review but was so impressed, so here's my first. I had nothing planned (memorial day) and had some very outgrown acrylics that needed removal. This place was actually open, and upon calling I was told to come in 30 min. I showed up on time and there was 5 people who also walked in so I had to wait..they said 20 min but only took abt 10. I was helped by Susan, who was not overly chatty etc as I hate small talk, so I liked her enough. To remove my old acrylics, she used a new acrylic to slide underneath. I was very hesitant and informed her a few times that my nails are weak and thin and I was afraid they'd tear. When she got to the 2nd nail, it tore and hurt making me jump. Thankfully, for the rest of the removal, she had me soak in pure acetone which really did the job. I also mentioned the fact that my hands are big, but with long fingers and wide nails beds, the wrong manicure could give me a serious case of man hands ;) she really took her time to shape them and file them down to look feminine - this is the biggest reason for my review and high tip. I have NEVER, in 30 years of salons, had anyone customize the perfect shape to flatter my hands! The end result was a great experience but the big negative was the 5-top before me who were just plain rude and borderline racist. Being 1/2 asian myself, I was becoming so irritated at the process due to the ignorant ladies before me but Susan did amazing and I'll be back again! Besides the little hiccup and the rude folks, Susan knows her stuff :) read more

I have been going to this salon since March, I love them. They are quick and usually do a great job. However lately the gel has seemed weird. Yesterday I got my nails done and the girl didn't let them dry all the way. This morning the polish started to curl up like it does when it's not dry and finally it peeled up. Now one is not like the others. I sincerely hope they do something about this because I am not happy. Update: I went in and talked to the manager, they fixed it with no arguments. I'm happy. read more

I love love love my nails!!! After some disappointing experiences at other salons in the area, I found Magic Nails. They saw me right away without an appointment and were very attentive to how I wanted my nails done. When I wasn't sure I liked the color, they went out of their way to try some different shades to see how closely they could match the reference picture. The nails themselves are very uniform and beautiful. Overall I'm very happy with the service and the quality of their work. read more

I absolutely love this place. It is worth the 2 hours of traveling to get here. All the people who work here are outstanding. It feels like a family and my mom and I are always greeted like we're special celebrities. She's called Mom and my name is always remembered. They do an incredible job,whether it's a pedicure, manicure, gels, french, you name it. My rough heels smooth and my toes and fingers look and feel so wonderful, I don't mind the 2 hours of travel. They're busy and always can get people in. THIS Is the place to go! read more

I ran in to Magic Nails on a whim, late in the afternoon for a gel polish change. I wasn't going to be overly picky about the color, since I'm planning to get another gel mani on Monday before I head out of town. I was mainly concerned with getting some polish on so my nails wouldn't break before my next nail appt. The place is nice, the folks are friendly and I was able to get right in. So, EVEN THOUGH I wasn't going to be anal about having *exactly* the perfect color, I was irked when they didn't have ANY of the shades that I picked. I finally just went with what the tech suggested - a lightish pink, which is SO not me - mostly bc I just wanted this to be done quickly. I'm finding this to be the case more and more often these days - if you're looking for the neutral range - #104 or #105 (I forget which brand it is - not OPI) EVERY salon is out. Seriously, if these shades are your "best sellers" then freaking keep them in stock! It's not complicated, really. My only other "complaint" which isn't really a complaint is having to get up and go to a sink to wash my hands - twice. That's not a total deal breaker, but it can sway me from one salon to another. My tech did *exactly* what I requested and did not shorten my nails at all. She shaped them beautifully, and three days later the polish is holding firm. The polish change (no mani) was $25 so very reasonable! Magic Nails won't be my first choice in Reno nail salons, but it's definitely in the #2 fallback position. read more

I live in the area so I always try to give Magic Nails a chance, but every time I get a full set I have at least one nail pop off within the week. I went in again to get a set for my birthday last week, and sure enough today I already had a nail come off and a few that are about to. Really disappointed because I paid $65 for them, but probably going to go in and just get them all off at this point because I don't want to deal with it. read more

This place is exactly what it says it is. They were able to get me in for a mani pedi as a walk in on a weekday and did the job. It was NOT glamorous and was maybe a bit overpriced for what you get but, I guess that is the cost of convenience. They are doing a good service and will do the trick when you need to get in and get your feet cleaned up. read more

I'm so confused about all this talk about great pedicures. I booked this place for me and a friend based off yelp reviews and it was a bit of a let down. We both recieved the most basic pedicure service with a hot water soak, lotion, and trimmed and painted toes. There was zero massage, zero hot wrap, no filing or trimming cuticles or tending to calluses. My heels actually left rougher than when I walked in. I guess I should not have expected so much from a $28 pedicure. They were extremely nice, but I had a very hard time understanding them. Again, the service wasn't bad, just very basic. read more

Went in to get my nails done for our Christmas party. Called on Tuesday and made an appointment for Wednesday. Liquid gels, with a gel paint over top. Was in and out in an hour. I like them, pretty, not too thick and a good shape. Happy. $45 for the full set of liquid gel (no powder what so ever) and the gel paint on top. Good deal. Staff was nice and friendly and area clean. That's all I ask for in a nail shop. read more

I don't often get manicure/pedicures but made an appointment for three of us. Forget about making an appointment as they just move people here and there and switch techs mid service. My daughter asked for clear polish then the guy proceeded to put on a glitter gel and charged 10 dollars more without even asking if that's what she wanted. The gal that worked on me made me bleed twice by cutting my toes and when I expressed that I was hurt the first time she did it a second time and to make matters worse what she cut off she wiped the discarded nail bit on my foot! Not wiping it into the towel or water. They give you one price when you sit down then tell you it's 10 $ more or don't tell you at all and charge you a different price. The shop is extremely dirty, like I wouldn't put your purse on the floor. I watched two ladies walk out after they were left to soak their feet for 30 minutes without any further attention. I am not prejudiced, if the language barrier is so great that the techs don't understand what service you are wanting or the actual price of the service I can't see how this is enjoyable or fair to the costumer. The owner did not care when I expressed that my daughter did not get what she asked for then was up charged or the fact the I was cut and bleeding in two different places. I can't recommend this place in the least. I wonder what all the 5 stars are about. Oh and I forgot to mention that the massage chairs are not sanitized in between uses, mine didn't work so the owner attempted to fix it while I was in it having my toes bleed. read more

I've been here a few times and usually like the place and get great nails, however the last two or three times have not been so great- I got a mani pedi with gel on the hands 4 days ago and my fingernails are chipping because the gel was out on way too thick- and now I'm getting an ingrown toenail because the guy cut my nail WAY too short and it hurts so bad- I'm a runner and this is getting in the way of my training.

I've been coming to this place for years. When I first started coming, my nails were pretty weak. I come here at least once a month for gel Mani/pedis. I haven't had a bad experience with any of the techs. Last week I came in with a friend. She opted for a full set and was just as happy with her experience as I was with mine. I highly recommend them. They always take care of my nails and now mine are strong and long. I bring in inspiration pics from online and they are able to make it happen on my nails. They always have new and fun polish in their inventory. read more

Because of my recent review on my last visit Ken contacted me and told me that he would be able to fix my nails and he sure proved his word. The red on the bottom turned out perfect using regular polish instead of the gel (fight dry out bubbly) and the nail shape was more defined and even covering up the red tips all the way. He made sure to tell me whenever I feel like I don't like how my nails end up to always come back and have them fixed. This is the only nail salon in Reno I go to because it's on my college budget and the customer service is friendly. They even crack a few jokes here and there which makes a good time for everyone. Ken fixed my nails for free and even let me have a gem on a couple nails for more blingage. I made sure to leave a tip for his generous work and my satisfaction in the end read more

I will never go there again. Bad business. My husband purchased $400 worth of gift cards for me and then covid hit. This nail salon closed for some time and a nail salon was not a place to be in the pandemic. Now that things have opened and are safer, I went to use part of the card and they are denying them as "too old". They have no flexibility. Very bad business. I was a customer for life. Gift cards should not expire anyways! I like the nail techs, but very bad business. They will lose way more $ from me over the next 20 years than if they honored my gift cards. Thank read more

Honestly don't even know where to begin. This photo is directly after this pedicure-- sorry it's gross, but they literally mangled my foot to the point where it's bleeding. Not a lil bit extra cuticle bleeding... band aid gushing blood. DO NOT GO HERE. When I told the owner (guessing) he laughed and said oops. Horrible customer service and even worse pedicure. read more

Got my nails done not even a week ago and this is how they look. Ken did my nails as my friend recommended me to come here.. First of all the gel was bubbly and he knew it was bc he kept trying to file it and fix it but only fixed 2. All the other ones were bubbly and he refused to fix them and said "it's ok" and walked out. I saw my nail was not filled and filed properly and it was already starting to lift and he didn't want to fix it... he didn't care. And look now all the edges by my cuticles are cracked off and my pointer finger is completely lifted and about to fall off. It's frustrating when I pay and TIP that I don't get the service and quality I'm paying for and now have to go out of my way to get them fixed. read more

My roommate and I love coming here for pedicures. I don't remember the names of the people who have done my nails, but I received great service from everyone I've had so far. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I'm extremely picky about my nails when I get acrylics done. I got a pink and white done here once before a pageant and, although it wasn't awful, it wasn't as near-perfect as I would have liked. However, I do love that they use the clear tips and layer on the white instead of using white tips. read more

Walked in and was helped immediately, very friendly, gave recommendations, and fixed the polishing shine issue immediately. They were quick which was nice! Also got an underarm wax and it was quick and painless. I asked for my eyebrows to be waxed as well but the lady said I wasn't ready, yet. I was quoted $25 for a gel refill but was charged $30 once finished. It had been a month since my last full though. Asked for the "coffin" style shape but one side was more shaped than the other side of the nail...on all nails. Over all a great experience and friendly service. read more

I was passing through & stopped at Magic nails for a gel manicure & pedicure. The staff were all friendly & welcoming, which is nice. They were able to seat me immediately as a walk in. The end results are just "okay." Many of my fingernails had polish up over my cuticles which means they've grown out and are peeling sooner & have a sharp edge (pictured). I'm a massage therapist so jagged edge doesn't work for me! After she finished she used a file to separate my nails from my skin which means there was just too much clear coat used that it was seeping under the nail. On my toes I noticed she used the angled clippers to clip the excess polish in the corners which I haven't seen done before... I noticed they used previously used clippers, files, buffers & pumice stone. I can only hope those items had been disinfected before using on my skin but they weren't taken out of any packaging read more
