First and foremost, Mina Nails is no more. The establishment is now called "Cafe Nails," under what…read moreI'm assuming must be new management. They now have a coffee bar, which I didn't partake in, but I thought it was a nice touch. I had been to Mina Nails back in 2018, and I had a pleasant experience. A decent gel manicure and regular pedicure at a pretty low price for the quality of work. But clearly, the level of service has decreased since after the height of the pandemic. And I can understand on some level--things are rough for most at the moment. But I would have appreciated any sort of effort or care. My pedicure turned out pretty well. I would have liked her to have left my toenails a bit longer; she cut them quite short and did not ask for my preference. The leg massage was quite weak and didn't do much other than rub the lotion in. The heel smoothing also was quite weak and didn't do much. The paint job was actually quite well done, nice and clean. Hopefully it lasts for a bit. She just generally seemed to not want to be there. After my service was done, the tech silently led me over to the drying station and walked away. I sat back to relax a bit, and happened to look to the front door--my nail tech was leaving for the night. I hadn't tipped her yet. Another tech had to put oil on my cuticles. It was a honestly a pretty depressing experience. I hope this isn't the norm. I won't be returning, unfortunately.

I would not recommend Gel Factory Nails. While the salon is on the pricier side, the quality and…read moreservice did not match the cost. The staff always seems rushed just to get clients in and out quickly, which shows in the final result. For example, trying to remove your fingernail polish when getting a pedicure, how unrelaxing is that?! They also use a strange brush-on product to remove gel polish instead of foil and regular acetone, the process felt rushed and extremely harsh on my nails. The most disappointing experience was before my wedding. I had called in advance to schedule my appointment for my wedding nails, and when I arrived they even greeted me by saying, "You're the bride!" Unfortunately, just two days later, two of my gel nails chipped and another one chipped the day after that, which is unheard of for GEL! I ended up having to get them completely redone the day before my wedding, which was incredibly stressful and frustrating. Sadly, chipped gel nails had happened to me here once before this incident too, but I brushed it off at the time. Unfortunately, I gave them the benefit of the doubt when I shouldn't have. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality and longer-lasting gel manicures. Sadly, this experience left me very disappointed, and I will not be returning and advising friends to not go here.

I really wanted to like this place but we were both cut during cuticle clipping. I had about 5 different cuts that started bleeding during my manicure. My friend had a full blown infection on her toe the day after her pedicure. Prices are very cheap, I paid $43. I think my nail lady did an okay job on the actual nail but I definitely wouldn't go back for their rough handling of cuticles and for fear of infections.
