Gel nails with cherry nail art
Cece S.

Still a 5 star place. Reyna did an amazing job on my wedding nails. Great atmosphere - clean, professional, friendly, and customer oriented. When I want a special manicure, this is definitely the place I'll continue to come to!

First time here but very pleased with the results! I procrastinated getting my nails done for my wedding (whoops), but they were able to accommodate me same day. From the initial price quote via text to my experience at the salon, everything was very thorough! It's certainly pricier than I'm used to but willing to splurge for a special day

By far the best nail salon in Colorado! Clean, professional, and the way they do nail art is unmatched! Reyna has been doing my nails for about a year and she slays! Always takes such good care of me and my nails! Melly, the owner, is the nicest and most welcoming owner and is such a boss! Love these ladies and this salon!!

Veronica S.

Came for a pedicure and my niece for a over lay and we both got out of there super happy. The customer service is outstanding and all the girls are amazing. The owners are super nice. I for sure i will be coming back. Try to book your appointment before hand because they are always booked. You can reserve your spot online and to secure it you need to pay $1.50. The art is amazing and the dedication is worth paying. They have an Instagram page you should go there and check out their art. Their page is the same name as their salon name. Here in Denver is sooo difficult to find a good place that make good art on your nails. They cater your necessities and desire. You want simple? They have it! If you want that sparkly with your nail full of rhinestone they for sure have it for you. All I am going to say is I will recommend this place to any one that want to get their nails done. In love!

The worst regular French nail manicure I ever had

I would give zero star if I could. I got my nails done two days ago and this is the result. I paid 100$ for this Never going back

Natural nails with fiber gel base

So happy with my multiple experiences at Mainstream Nails. I started off with Gel-X for the first two months with rebase follow ups. After 2 months, I decided I'm ready to go back to natural. My nails have never been this healthy and long! I asked for a natural transparent polish with a hard gel base and it's perfect. If you're trying to grow out your nails a healthy and strong way, I highly recommend going to Mainstream Nails.

I can't say enough good things about Mainstream Nails. It's the attention to detail, awesome nail technicians, great conversation and ambiance that keeps me coming back for more. Yes, it is difficult to get an appointment but oh so worth it. I have very long nails and I have never walked out of here unsatisfied. I have never had a nail fall off and if I do break a nail, it's because I'm clumsy and wasn't careful. I absolutely love it here and the prices are great for custom nail art and sculpted sets (quality nails are expensive y'all). It feels so good having everyone compliment my nail art and constantly ask me where I got my nails done. I HIGHLY recommend Mainstream Nails!

This place is one of the more trendy places in Denver- it's much prettier inside than your typical nail salon and the quality is held to a higher standard. I had been to several salons since moving to Denver, and the others had been damaging my nails and there were communication barriers. All employees are English speaking and v That said, prepare to shell out some big bucks for nails here. I wish I got a hand massage with my $75 manicure- but overall everything else was a pleasant experience!

First time getting Gel-X!
Amber M.

Support women-owned businesses! Mainstream Nails gave me the "vacation nails" of my dreams. I was new to getting Aprés Gel-X extensions *and* nail art and they were all so patient and lovely considering I had no idea what I wanted. I'd recommend bringing ideas from Instagram or Pinterest or even better email your artist in advance so they have a plan. The finished product was stunning and while expensive, it's priced competitively to other salons that do Gel-X as far as I can tell. It's also an intimidate space, there aren't rows upon rows, which I liked. Plus a bar? I didn't have a drink but like that it was available. Small private lot but also plenty of street parking.

Hard gel overlay. I am so hard on my nails, this is a great answer to keeping nails looking great.  Thanks Lina.
Heather S.

Love love! Great staff, amazing nails! Get your appointment s mow! They book up quick for a reason. Worth every penny. Everyone is amazing, great location, friendly staff. Lina is wonderful. I'm never going anywhere else. Thank you!!

Final product!!

So happy this place is in my neighborhood! Today was my first visit to Mainstream. I was able to easily book online and find a time that worked for me. I love being able to book online because it is often easier to do that than call when I am at work. I walked in for my appointment and was immediately taken to my station. I was excited to hear they have mimosas, coffee, and water available. That will be for next time! My stylist was awesome. Super friendly. Everything was clean, new, and well maintained. The owner is awesome and clearly involved with every day to day decision. There were so many great colors to choose from and I cannot wait to come back again for a pedicure.

Haley M.

I came back to update my review because after seeing more and more gorgeous work come out of this salon I decided to give them another chance and I had such a wonderful experience! (Zen on the nails Jess on my toes) I had a bad experience my first time here but I'm so glad I gave Mainstream another chance because my nails look beautiful and everyone here is truly so nice. I'm thinking my initial bad experience was a fluke. Thanks Mainstream

Gel mani going strong after 1 week and after a trip to the climbing gym!

I went in for a brow and lash tint. I signed all of the consent forms and toxic reaction warnings…read morebefore I arrived. The esthetician was friendly, boisterous, loud and immediately jumped into performing the service without instructions or warnings. She did a good job applying the under eye patches, tints, etc. When it was time to take the tint off she dug cotton balls into my eyes - way deeper than was necessary and without care - that toxic dye got in my eyes and it was SO painful. She washed my eyes out with saline like 6 times because I demanded it but they still stung. She never apologized - just "yep, it stings don't it", like I was some sort of torture subject. I don't think she was properly trained! I have had my brows and lashes tinted dozens of times in other salons and sure there is a little sting but the esthetitian knows how to carefully remove the dye so that the sting is minimal and she is compassionate and thorough with the saline. I don't think this woman got all the dye out because my eyes still stung for the rest of the day and into the night, extra dry, red on the inside of the eyelid... 3 days later my eyes are still recovering. Google says the dyes are not FDA approved and can cause serious damage to the eyes - I was freaking out. The place is cute but I would NEVER go here again.

Wax and Lash is a beautiful shop right off 44th and Lowell and close to many other cool shops…read more Although, I have not received any services there, my girlfriend claims that they always do a great job and are super professional.

I am writing to share my experience following a service appointment at this location. I received a…read moremale Brazilian and full butt wax yesterday, and my esthetician was Reagan. The service itself was performed well, and I was satisfied with the quality of the wax. However, the subsequent events have caused significant disappointment and lead me to strongly advise caution to other male clients. The day after my service, I was unexpectedly contacted by the manager and informed that I was banned from the establishment due to an "inappropriate conversation" with the esthetician. This notification was perplexing, as the conversation in question was initiated by the esthetician's small talk. During the service, Reagan asked about my weekend plans. When I initially mentioned that the plans were personal, she indicated that was acceptable. I then shared that my wife and I planned to visit The Scarlet Ranch, a known lifestyle club. As my wife and I are open about our lifestyle, I was willing to engage in general, surface-level discussion. Reagan continued to actively participate, asking multiple follow-up questions about the club's atmosphere, membership fees, types of events, and clientele. I was careful to keep my responses strictly professional and non-sexual, focusing on logistical and social aspects. At no point during this sustained conversation did the esthetician indicate that she felt uncomfortable or ask to change the subject. Therefore, receiving a call informing me I was banned--and being told by the manager that the conversation was "inappropriate to have while getting a male Brazilian"--was a significant surprise. It seems highly unprofessional to ban a paying customer without the service provider communicating any discomfort during the interaction. Feedback on Communication and Professionalism: For the management and staff: Professional protocol dictates that if a client's conversation makes a staff member uncomfortable, the staff member must clearly and politely redirect or end the topic of conversation. Customers cannot be expected to know a provider's boundaries, especially when the provider is actively engaging and asking follow-up questions. A simple, "I prefer to keep our conversation limited to the service," would have been sufficient and professional. This lack of professional communication has resulted in the loss of a repeat client and has created an unnecessarily unpleasant experience. I urge management to review their policies on staff interaction and boundary setting. Recommendation for Male Clients: Due to this experience, I do not recommend this establishment for males seeking a Brazilian wax. While the technique was good, the overall lack of staff maturity and professionalism in handling client conversations is concerning. Prospective clients might consider alternatives like European Wax Center for a lower-cost option. I hope this feedback leads to better communication practices so that other clients do not feel targeted or confused in the future.

If you're a man of Mediterranean descent, body hair is not a lifestyle choice. It's a birthright…read more As a Greek man, my ancestors were herding goats on mountainsides looking like walking Brillo pads. So walking into European Wax Center to have strangers rip hair out of my shoulders feels... culturally complicated. My people did not survive centuries of history just for me to wake up one day and say, "You know what would be fun? Let's pour hot wax on my body and rip out my follicles like I'm preparing for the Olympics." And yet... here I am. European Wax Center is clean, efficient, and very easy to book online. Which is great, because it means you never have to call a stranger and say the sentence: "Hello, I'd like to schedule some aggressive hair removal." You check in and within minutes someone is calmly spreading hot wax on you like they're frosting a cake. A cake that is unfortunately attached to your shoulders. Then comes the rip. Somewhere deep inside, my inner Greek barbarian wants to roar and run back into the mountains. Instead I sit there quietly thinking, "Ah yes... this is how the modern man suffers." The staff are nice and professional, though the vibe is definitely efficient rather than spa-day indulgence. This is less "luxury relaxation" and more "well-run hair removal logistics operation." I respect that. Huge bonus: I can walk there. Few things are more humbling than casually strolling down the street knowing you're about to pay someone to violently remove your fur. For the record, I am not going full dolphin. The chest hair stays. That's protected territory. Bear energy must remain somewhere. ;) This is simply about taming the wilderness so I don't look like I'm wearing an invisible sweater. Final verdict: Clean. Fast. Convenient. My inner Greek barbarian hates every second of it. But my summer shirts are thriving.
