    Beautiful Job done by Cathy. The place is very clean, prices are good, and staff is very friendly.

    Very highly quality place. Staff are very friendly and the place is extremely clean. The prices are also very affordable.

    Perfection!

    This is my favorite nail salon for a variety of reasons! All of the employees are so sweet and never forget a name/face. Every time I am there, I see so many regulars which is always a great sign. The salon itself is very clean, prices are great and day of call ahead/appointment times/walk in's are always very accommodating to your schedule. Donna has done my nails 4 or 5 times now, and she never misses! I came in with an inspo pic of nude to white ombré and she was able to execute FLAWLESSLY (as always ). She listens to what you want and has no problem helping you pick what will look best, whether that is nail shape, color, etc. 10/10 would recommend this nail place! (Not sponsored or offered any discounts for this review- I just genuinely love their work and salon )

    Stay away. Stay far away. Called ahead. Made an appt for 2 pedis and one acrylic mani. We arrived on time. One pedi was started 15mins after our appt time. The other two services were started 30mins after our appt time. One pedi had a bubble in it and the tech was bothered when we asked her to please fix it. Basic pedi $25 The other pedi--just see the pics. I have to say the tech who did this pedi gave a wonderful massage. But the nails, as you can see--terrible. $35 The acrylic--see the pics. All crooked and just horrendous. $53 We asked for the acrylic to be fixed. It was still bad. The pics are after they "fixed" them. One customer left while we were there because they took too long. Also, this place should really consider putting stuff on the tv they have for their customers instead of for themselves.

    Came in requesting acrylic oval shape nails but they came out all different sizes/shape are upturned and some were especially crooked. I asked to have it fixed and was blamed that it was the shape of my nail that was the issue. I've never had my nails done this poorly by a professional and would not recommend or be visiting this place in the future.

    I've been going here for over 3 years now and all the ladies are lovely. I'm always greeted by name and warmly welcome. Everyone there does great work but Donna is my girl! She does a fantastic job with such attention to details. She prides herself on making sure you love your nails. It's very clean, prices are great and I'm always able to book an appointment a few hours hour and generally can just walk in as well. Can't recommend enough!

    I've been going to this nail salon for years there always so friendly and welcoming and don't only care for you as a customer but also after for you as a person I love my nails thank you Cidney

    My usual nail lady is on maternity leave so I ventured out to find an affordable yet still good quality nail place. MC Nail did not disappoint. They were meticulous in their detail and had good suggestions for nail designs. I got a fill and gel pedicure. The nail tech who did my pedicure gave an awesome foot massage (probably one of the best I've had in a long while). The nails came out really cute and I've gotten a ton of compliments on them! One of my nails did break about 1.5 weeks after I got them done (not the fault of the salon as I was probably just too rough on them) and they were able to fit me in for a nail fix fairly quickly.

    Mary and Mimi are friendly! I'm satisfied that I'm able to feel relaxed here. This is my 2nd time getting my nails done and I'm glad I did it here. I got a gel mani pedi which is great since it'll last longer and my nails got drier quicker!

    Full set nails with ombré powder

    I was looking for a last minute appointment for my mom and I to get our nails done for a wedding. We got 2 pedicures and one full set manicure & everything came out very well. I appreciate the care and patience they gave to both of us. The ladies were all diligent and careful with our hands and feet. The massages were A1. I went for a different shape, length and color than usual and it came out really well for a low profile We will be returning the next time we want to pamper. Thank you all for the services you provided!

    Valentine nails

    All I'm saying is Mrs. Cindy got down! She ate and left NO CRUMBS! She was very sweet and took her time with me. I just moved to the area so she is my new go-to gal. Highly recommend her!

    nails done by Cindy four hours later

    Cindy manicured my nails of Friday afternoon, by 8pm two nails on my left hand either smeared or chipped. Unacceptable.

    Love my HALLOWEEN nails! Thank you Cathy!! I love your creativity!! Call me in with an idea and you take it to the next level!! The kids are going to love my happy ghosts! Thank you!

    Left residue all over me

    I used to come here frequently but after the experiences I've had today, I won't be back. I called this morning and said I could come either now, or in an hour. They asked me to come now. When I showed up (less than 10 minutes later), they made me wait another 30 minutes! Once that 30 minutes had passed, somebody turned to me and said "I will be right with you after I paint this lady's nails".... At that point, I respectfully voiced my dissatisfaction and left. They chased me down and offered me a discount if I came back later. I've had good experiences here in the past, so I said ok. I showed up later in the afternoon with a set appointment for a dip manicure and for a little TLC on a nail I had broken at the nail bed. There was no hand soak, no cuticle care, no getting gunk out from under my nails, no lotion, no nothing. They just sat me down, put a little bit of (obviously USED!) superglue on my injured nail, shaped my nails, and immediately put my fingers in the dip powder... all I could think about was how many peoples dirty fingers were in this dip before mine if they didn't bother to soak my hands in soapy water or alcohol or get dirt out from under my nails?? I was grossed out. The shape and color of my nails is beautiful as always, but after my hands dried at home, I noticed how much residue was left behind on my fingers around my nails (pictured) I'm sad to have to find another nail place. Their time management, sanitation practices, and quality are now too questionable.

    This is my go-to nail salon for more than five years, even if I've moved out of the area. Overall,…read moreI'd say service is usually great, timing is valued, and gel manicures are reasonably priced. I almost always get a french ombre gel manicure. Up until last year, I could have the manicure done by anyone at Nails 2000. Most recently, my gel manicures have been a hit or miss. If I don't specifically request for someone I've had before, then I could risk having a very faint ombre design or worse - polish not lasting for even a day. The male nail techs are usually great on both manicures and pedicures (Alex, Michael for pedi). Other nail techs I'd recommend from experience are Helen and Mary.

The total came to $76, which I found outrageous for just changing the polish. When I questioned the receptionist about the price, she tried to normalize paying almost $80 for something that should be straightforward. It felt like there was no respect for the value of my dollar, and I was basically brushed off as if this was completely normal. What made it worse was the attitude and service. The nail technician seemed visibly unhappy about having to help me, and although I couldn't understand the language spoken, it was clear there was some kind of dispute about taking my appointment. She was quite rough with my hands and didn't show any care or professionalism. To add to that, the salon itself felt outdated and not well-maintained, which didn't help the overall impression. I've lived in the area for over a decade and had never visited before, and now I can see why. It's definitely not a place I'd want to return to for any nail services, especially given the high price and the poor customer care. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon, and I won't be coming back. Update-- looking through reviews to see if other's had experience similar and came across this photo warning of nail tech (sharing) --same nail tech -- rude, rough, lumpy thick polish application, micro aggressive -- her energy was absolutely draining.

Every nail tech I've seen at Lauren's has been a skilled professional. I trust them with my gel pedicures all year round, and always seek them out for their acrylic manicure services for special occasions. I trusted Lauren's with my manicure for my wedding day (big thank you to Amy for her gorgeous work). I never hesitate to recommend their exceptional services to friends (and family). I've even brought my husband here for the occasional spa pedicure, and now the nail techs frequently ask after him whenever I visit. I typically choose simple designs, but when I've chosen a more adventurous nail service the techs at Lauren's have done a beautiful job. Make sure to bring an inspiration photo (or doodle) if you've got a specific nail art request! The salon itself is spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated. I also appreciate the option to make an appointment via text message, and they always endeavor to fit in an appointment for me, even at the last minute. The prices are the best I've found in the city for the quality of work. I have to admit that I was inspired to (finally) write this review after witnessing an incredibly rude customer berating the lovely staff who I have come to appreciate so much over the years. Despite this customer's frankly appalling behavior, the staff members involved were unerringly polite while attempting to find a solution that would be satisfactory for all involved. I aspire to carry myself with as much grace and composure as the fantastic group of working women at Nails & Spa by Lauren.

I was flexible though and went for another stylist and later time. I really regret that now as I am really unhappy with my cut and style. Pam was my stylist and she didn't talk much about my hair. She didn't ask me how I wanted it styled at the end, and did not give me the cut I asked for. The communication was very poor and because of that I was left with not what I wanted and unhappy with the results. I understand things come up, but I feel I was a little pressured into last minute changing the time and stylist. I never have a negative experience here and my mother and I have been coming here for decades. I am just not happy with the cut or service. I tried talking more about my hair so we could get on the same page, and I am use to the stylist giving tips or asking more about my hair. We talked about short layers framing my face that stick out of the pony tail as well which is what I asked for, but that wasn't done either. I feel bad saying any of this as I have literally never been unhappy with my cut from any stylist at this salon. Im normally very relaxed as well, more attention is usually given to the shampoo and condition and maybe I am remembering incorrectly but a short scalp massage or something is given as well.

Based on Yelp reviews, I chose this place for a little self-care on my day off. I booked a gel mani + pedi combo ($80, 1 hr 30 min) online to make sure I'd get in on time. I arrived about 15 minutes early and told them I had an appt for the gel combo and they were able to seat me right away. The salon wasn't too busy and just a couple of other clients. I was asked to pick out a color and directed to a spa chair for my pedicure. I noticed a younger female employee sitting nearby, watching a male technician work on another client's pedicure. It looked like she was in training, which I completely understand because everyone has to start somewhere, and I appreciate that she was eager to learn. However, she ended up being the one assigned to me. She was very kind and polite, but it quickly became clear that she was inexperienced. I have a manicure license myself, so I can usually tell when techniques aren't quite there yet. Sometimes I just want to relax and be pampered rather than do my own nails, which is why this was especially disappointing. Unfortunately, the results didn't meet expectations. My big toenail came out crooked, and my cuticles, which are usually my favorite part of the service were barely cleaned up if even touched. It felt like I paid close to $150 just to soak my feet, polish, and a massage. The service took almost two hours, and at the end, she offered a complimentary shoulder massage. While I appreciated the gesture, it felt a bit awkward as I was seated facing a printer while she massaged my shoulders and also felt like an afterthought. When I went to the front to pay, I was expecting the $80 I had booked. Instead, I was told my total was over $100. I politely asked why, since I had scheduled the gel mani/pedi combo, and was told it was because I received a "spa" pedicure, which costs more. However, this was never explained during booking or before the service started. The website didn't mention any upgrade or price difference, and I wasn't given an option to approve or decline it beforehand. That lack of transparency was frustrating and honestly added to the disappointment. I genuinely feel bad leaving a negative review because the girl was very nice, but overall, I left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied with the quality of the service. Unfortunately, I would not recommend Sorry in advance for toe photos!

I saw all the positive reviews and decided to try this nail salon out last week. I came in with a simple inspo picture of glitter French tip nails and let the front desk man know I was asking for design, but unfortunately the nail tech could not get the glitter polish to show up well on top of the white. To make things easier I said let's just keep a simple French tip. She shaved off the polish and redid it, cool. I go to pay for my service and noticed a charge for 'custom shape $5' which was odd considering my shape was basic square nothing custom about it. I asked the front desk man why the charge and he couldn't give a clear answer, and settled on that the custom shape charge was to compensate the nail tech for the time she wasted doing the glitter tip that she had to remove. So because the nail tech wasn't honest about not being able to do the design, wasted both my time and hers attempting to do it, I was being charged $5 extra? I've been getting my nails done for over 15 years now and have never been charged because a nail tech had to redo a polish. I then showed him the inspo pic and my nails I ended up leaving with, the photos below are how my nails looked IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE SALON. My middle nail started turning yellow while at the desk, the French tip was wrinkly, like a hot mess! He ended up removing that bizarre $5 charge but what really blows me is sneaking charges on my service then fixing his mouth to ask me for a tip! He offered to have the nail tech fix them but why would I let her keep playing on my nails when she couldn't do it right the first few times? And I still tipped them after having my nails played with for 2 hours!! So go here at your own risk maybe don't ask for anything other than simple polish and be aware of extra charges on your receipt.
