I've gone to Melissa's for many years. But, have recently stopped for a few reasons. No matter what time I make an appointment for I have to wait 10-20 min! I believe they're trying to squeeze in every walk in, then a customer like myself who has been coming for years winds up waiting! They have always done a great job with manis and pedis! read more

I'll probably follow Van to the end of the earth, she's so great at what she does! She takes her time, she is creative, and she will tell you what she thinks will look good if you need a little guidance. She's also really good with designs if you like that. I would highly recommend asking her and you can text her for an appointment which is really easy and convenient! read more

I've been going to my regular nail lady for 8 years. When I need a pedicure or a quick nail fix if my regular person is out of town I will stop by here on my way home from work. Nice quiet salon. I've always had a great experience except this time. I don't like to write negative reviews but I need this addressed. I loved my nails yesterday the nail tech made my nails feel brand new my hands were so refreshed and my cuticles were amazing! Hence the 2 stars. They were a little thick but oh well. Today at work I noticed that my top coat was chipping so I gave them a call and told them I was gonna stop by after work for them to fix it. No problem at all. I got there and the tech started buffing my nails. Then she added a new top coat and more chrome. You could tell the difference from where the previous topcoat and chrome was, I asked her to just remove the polish and I would pay for the removal and redo as they were already thick and if she kept putting polish on top they were going to be thicker. Instead she put another layer of base coat (pink) saying it was going to make it even. Yeah it did but it was so thick! I asked her if she can make it thinner and just buff them out more if she wasn't going to change my color. She buffed them more and added the chrome. As you can see in the photo of my nails in the car, they were so uneven. The corners were so thick! Thankfully I didn't get charged to get them "fixed" Needless to say I am not going to go back a third time, I came home super unhappy, my nails looked like press-on nails. Thankfully I still have my stuff from the when I did my nails during Covid. But when I was filing my nails down to remove the gel myself you can see how thick the layers were on top of yesterday's application. It's ridiculous! 2 hours later I did my nails myself, yeah they aren't the best but at least they don't look like I stuck putty on my nails and they are even. I'm so disappointed, I asked for her to fix them, even offered to pay whatever I needed for them to be redone the right way. Next time, just listen to your customers....especially when they aren't asking you to do it for free. read more

Very clean- super nice ladies- Kim and the team does a very good job- in a timely manner

I went in for lashes and the lady completed the whole process within 40 minutes. It was completely rushed and you can tell. The lashes look uneven. She burned both my eyes with the glue throughout the process. Overall, it was bad. I have discomfort on my left eye which looks to be the one with the most glue and was the one which burned the most. The lashes are so clumped together you cannot brush them. read more

Fantastic customer service! I've gone twice and both people I went with either went back or want to go back! Both times I've gone, my nails were fantastic! Vanessa is incredibly skilled, patient, and sociable - can't wait to catch up next time. Calm atmosphere, great color selection, and very caring workers. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it is a convenient location for me. I got a regular manicure and pedicure. The place itself is clean and the technicians are friendly. I am happy with my pedicure which is why I gave 2 stars, however, my manicure was peeling and chipping by the next day!I am posting pictures of 2 days later. I did not do anything that would cause them to do this. Poor quality nail polish? read more

I've been going to Melissa's Nails for over ten years. I don't think you can get a better pedicure anywhere for any price. So relaxing, and the massage seems to go on forever. Kim does a great job on my fingernails. I have paper thin nails that always crack into the nail bed. Once every 3 or 4 weeks, Kim transforms my nails into something beautiful. I never have to worry about them again until my next visit. Attaching a picture of her latest. The atmosphere is very intimate, has a small town feel. It seems everyone knows everyone. Melissa's is the best! read more

Popped in hoping I could have a pedicure. Quickly given a chair, feet in water bath and massage chair remote in hand. Was told I'd be seen in 10mins. Those 10 mins were fab; vigorous massage and proper feet soak, just perfect. Lyn then joined me and gave me a fabulous pedicure, with lovely hot stone massage to finish. Lyn and I chatted the whole time, which made me feel most welcome. Lots of places don't do that. I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Su and the other ladies working in the shop seemed genuinely sweet and kindly; and I felt Su did her best to work carefully and do a good job. She was very gentle about her work. But, over all I was not bowled away by the end result. I asked her to spend extra time removing old layers of base from my toes so they would have a smooth finish. She seemed to not understand, but gave the toes another quick swipe with acetone. It was not enough to remove the old undercoats, so I have horizontal grow out lines in the finish from the uneven base (see pic). I asked for shellac on my nails, which she said was the same as the as the OPI GelColor she used. I am not that familiar with all the nail products at this point; but reading on the OPI website later, I realize GelColor and shellac are not the same thing. Various articles said shellac is easier on your nails. Maybe no biggie, I dunno. As she did not have the color I chose from her palette color sticks, she said she would duplicate the color by using one 1 coat of pink and one coat of a slightly sparkly gold. The mixed color was much more gold than what I wanted. As Su applied the different layers, I noted that a few bubbles were appearing in the last color coat. I really don't like bubbles. She said not to worry, she would fix them. And she did try to file them out and touched up. They did look better, but I could still see the flaws. When I pointed this out to her, things got confusing. In trying to convince me it was a good job, she said two things that strike me as inconsistent: 1) the flaws were caused by rough bumps on the surface of my nails. Well, Su sanded the surface of nails to provide the proper foundation. So, if that is true, then it seems her prep was not done well enough. 2) Su also said, "I guarantee you" any shiny (sparkly) color will bubble. If that's true, why use such a product? Update: 2 weeks later I went to another salon. The manicurist looked at my nails and said, "did you do this yourself at home?" But, look at my pics and judge for yourself. read more

LIFE. SAVER. I came to Melissa's nails by recommendation from a friend and I could not be happier with this choice! When I first came in and was immediately helped by Vanessa (she's the best!) I had grown out overpriced acrylic nails on and I told her I was trying to get back to being able to wear my nails naturally without any tips. She took off my old set and did a great job giving me a dip polish manicure even making my super short stubby nails look good (pictured with the black tips)! After a month my set did not chip or break so I was able to continue using my now long natural nails. Vanessa helped give me the set of my dreams for a concert I was going to, she worked so hard to make sure I was happy with the design after all I did was show her a picture. Long story short, I won't be taking my business elsewhere!! Incredibly fair price, beautiful results & great atmosphere :) read more

I moved to the area and have been looking for s nail place. This one is down the street from my house so I gave it a try. Very nice ladies but terrible nail job. Globs of polish with bubbles. They tried to fix it but only put more polish! Cuticles were hacked and look terrible. It's such a shame because this is my closest nail salon. read more
