    i just paid 30 dollars to have the integrity of my natural nails absolutely obliterated requested a builder gel removal and gel pedicure removal- despite grating down half of my toenail, there's still some gel polish left over they just didn't remove. the woman who did the service was very sweet and i don't blame her at all- it's clear that the nail techs here are not given the proper tools or training to know what drill bits should or should not be used on the natural nail. that isn't her fault, but it does mean that this place should absolutely be out of business. i worked for almost six months to grow my natural nails out and now they're paper thin and damaged beyond repair.

    Every time I go to ML Nail Spa, I have an amazing experience. The staff is always friendly and professional, and the quality of service is consistently top-notch. I especially love the pedicures -- they include a complimentary paraffin wax treatment that leaves my feet feeling soft and pampered. When I get my nails done, they take their time and never rush. The attention to detail is impressive, and they're always able to replicate any design I bring in, no matter how intricate. My nails come out neat and flawless every time. I've even recommended ML Nail Spa to my sister, and now she's a regular too. If you're looking for a clean, relaxing spot with talented nail techs who care about quality, this is it!

    Visited twice for a no chip mani pedi. The first time went fine and no issues with my nails. The second visit for the same service resulted in the polish peeling within 2-3 days of getting my nails done. Doubt I'll go back.

    He said he was finished. Horrible job!!! I will never go back.

    DO NOT GO TO This spot for dipping nails If I could give less than 1 star I would. I usually tip, I could not give a dime for this horrible job. They dont even do a hot towel.

    Dip nail polish where you can see the speckles - done wrong
    Angela W.

    Probably one of the worst manicures I've had in a while. I asked for a semi translucent color in gel and the lady asked if I wanted to try dip instead. I've never tried dip before, so I figured I'd give it a go. The dip turned out horrible. You can still see the powder flecks in my nails - I'm pretty sure this is not how a dip manicure is supposed to look. I didn't pick a speckled color... the nail tach also did bare minimum in terms of cleaning cuticles and the nail bed. She didn't ask me what shape nails I wanted and started aggressively filing down my nails into a square. I had just grown them long enough to have a more natural oval shape. When I saw what she had filed my nails into, I had to settle for a squoval shape and asked her to round out the corners. It looked bad. The worst part is, for $60, my dip nails started falling off in less than a week! I thought dip was supposed to last longer... clearly the tech didn't know what she was doing. I also got a pedicure and told the tech the water was too hot. He turned the knob to cool it, but instead turned it onto boiling hot water. I yelped in pain and he apologized for his mistake. He seemed nice, but clearly didnt know what he was doing. I will definitely not be going back.

    This is the hand I wouldn't let him touch.

    First time here they were quick to get me started. They have…read moremany techs and seem friendly . I was happy with how my nails turned out except the one big thing I mentioned 3 times to 2 different staff members (and also over the phone before I came in) I wanted was glow in the dark and these were not. They were lovely but again my main request was glow in the dark as I was reassured repeatedly that's what I was getting. Other than that I'd go back I probably still will for a fill in.

    I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Taday Nails…read more On Sunday, June 7, I visited the salon for a fill-in on an existing set and paid $76.26. This was the very first fill-in for the set. Less than 24 hours later, on the morning of June 8, one nail broke. On June 9, a second nail broke. I called the salon on June 10 to explain the situation. Rather than expressing concern about the quality of the service, the male manager immediately informed me that it would cost an additional $15 to repair the two nails because the salon does not guarantee fill-ins, only full sets. After a lengthy discussion, he eventually stated that the repairs could be done at no charge, but only if completed by the same technician who serviced me. Unfortunately, I had an event to attend that afternoon and could not risk an extended wait. The following day, I called again and spoke with a female manager. She also began by reiterating that fill-ins are not guaranteed and that repairs must be completed by the original technician. She then informed me that the salon was slow and, if I came immediately, they would make an exception and repair the nails. I rushed to the salon, which is less than a 10-minute drive away, only to arrive and be told there were already two people ahead of me and that the wait would be more than 30 minutes. This was especially frustrating given that I had specifically called ahead and adjusted my schedule based on the information I was provided. While I understand that salons have policies, I find it unreasonable that two nails would break within days of a routine fill-in and that the response was to argue policy rather than address a clear quality concern. What was most disappointing was not the broken nails themselves, but the lack of accountability, inconsistent communication, and poor customer service from management. As a first-time customer receiving a fill-in on a relatively new set, I expected better workmanship and a more customer-focused resolution. Unfortunately, this experience has left me with little confidence in returning.

They are very nice and non judgmental having a "boy" pick a sparkly nail polish. Nail techs aren't all very talkative to clients but they do a great job!

    Absolutely the worst experience…read more I'm visiting from Washington, DC, and needed a fill for my Gel-X nails. I think that's where things went wrong and it appears that my request got completely lost in translation. As it became clear that Mike wasn't familiar with what I was asking for, I tried explaining exactly what needed to be done. Instead of listening, he cut me off and insisted that what I was requesting was incorrect. Clearly, it wasn't, because later that same evening THREE of my nails broke completely off. And no, these were not press-on nails. I called the next morning since the salon was already closed when the nails broke. I spoke with a very pleasant young lady named Jenny who apologized and explained that Mike had been feeling ill and that I was his last customer before he left. Unfortunately, that explanation matched the quality of the work--it felt rushed and careless. She invited me back to have the nails repaired. When I returned on Tuesday, Kim started working on my nails, but then Nancy took over. Keep in mind, this was only a three-nail repair. During the service, Nancy repeatedly stopped to take phone calls. Then, when two other customers came in who appeared to be regulars, she left me sitting there to assist them instead. Nothing says "your time doesn't matter" quite like being abandoned mid-service while someone else is helped. The lack of professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service was disappointing from start to finish. If you have another option, take it.

    I can't get a regular pedicure because I am doing chemotherapy and I'm immunocompromised. I came in…read moreand the only thing they did that was kind as well as correct was just offer me a polish change. I wanted French but they said they couldn't do French unless the base was clear because they use nail polish remover to make the French design. That seems like inexperience to me. I've been to places where they do French over a pink base with regular polish but this is not the spot for that. So we pivoted because I didn't want gel polish. I said I'd go to the car and get the regular color I had on my fingernails. The woman started putting clear polish on my toes so I couldn't put on shoes and go get it. Since I was in a rush we just decided on a pink dnd color with funny bunny on top to make it more white. The joke was on me trying to be in and out. I showed up at 2 and didn't leave until 3:30. It should not have taken an hour and a half for a polish change. The original woman made the funny bunny coat on top too thick and lumpy. So I asked her if she could remove it and I could redo it. I repainted my big toe correctly and then another nail tech came and touched my toenail to see if it was dry and ended up smudging the polish. We had to take it off again. The nail tech that had messed up my nail repainted it but did the same mistake as the first tech. The polish is old and lumpy and unless you put it on thinly, it is going to be lumpy on the toe. So she removed it and said a other tech would try to paint it. When that nail tech finally did come over 20 minutes later, she was able to fix the issue because she found a bottle of funny bunny that wasn't dried out. But most importantly, she listened to what I had been saying from the start. My original nail tech never came back out. And I'm annoyed that I had done it correctly and then they messed it up. I would avoid this place unless you're getting gel. Even the last nail tech said it would have turned out better if I had gotten gel. They seem not to be able to do the basic regular polish well. Just do your own nails at home if you want regular polish. I know I will be. There was also a man on FaceTime on speakerphone in the shop and we were forced to hear his conversation for the entirety of his pedicure. They did not ask him to get off of speaker. It was really annoying and not a relaxing environment.

Her licenses are displayed so you know she's had actual training and isn't working under someone's license. It begins with her thoroughly checking your feet to recommend visiting a doctor if you have abnormalities. I have to have a biopsy on a "mole" that nobody pointed out ever and I've gone to some of the more "upscale" nail shops. It's been there for years! My dermatologist wanted to know why I never showed it to her in all these years. Not one ever mentioned it, until Michelle. The space is small, within Sola Salon. It is well appointed. You will need to sit in a regular chair but the environment was quite relaxing. She first files the nails before cutting. She told me it reduces the chance of a nail splitting. She uses disposable everything, even a nail brush. She takes her time so expect your pedicure and manicure to last longer. I got the rose petal pedicure and it was wonderful. I got a manicure, and my nails feel strong and not one has broken. I never liked the manicures at the omni-present nail shops and my nails always cracked or broke afterwards. She does acrylic and no chip also. Paying was touchless with the option of Zelle or Cashapp. Traditional methods are also accepted.

She seemed almost annoyed that she had to work. The quality was also poor. She didn't remove my cuticles or apply any lotion afterwards. I also had to ask her to use the UV light to set my nails just by virtue of having that done in the past. It was as if I somehow knew better than her because she for some reason put a normal top coat and didn't set the nails. They chipped the SAME DAY. Maybe it was the person working that day, but due to the small setting and weird set up, I do not recommend this place. You're better off getting fake nail stick ons and going somewhere else.

How can that be when on the website both girls were open and how can that be when on the website it says open 10 to 8 meaning you guys close at eight meaning you guys have time to do my service on professional bad advertising saltmara is the laughing stock of the neighborhood like I said I go every three months and I live on the building not to say your new manager. I walked in to talk about my point and my membership, her attitude that face of hers no how can I help you no smile to the owner you need to hire a new receptionist and a new manager or whatever happened to Emily if the salon says on the website 10 to 8 just like the rest of the Salon's around you they stay open. It's easy for me to come from the building downstairs now I know those girls were open but close at 7 o'clock not to mention that I called on Monday and try to get a manicure again around like 720. You have time to do a manicure a classic manicure and they refuse me why have people Work late when they don't wanna work at night unprofessional bad advertising no wonder the salon is slow and people are canceling their membership.

He kept cutting my fingers and the tools were getting too hot. what I originally wanted he wasn't able to do bc the fil in shade was not correct. So I asked if he just wanted to take my old set off and redo he said no it takes to much time. so yall dnt want the money. Heard. So I choose something easier for them to do, MY NAILS LOOKS LUMPY AF!
