    Modern Nails Has always given good pedicures for me over the years!! The only thing I can complain about is one time a lady messed up my eyebrows when she waxed them and They didn't make me pay for it So probably wouldn't recommend the waxing. But always great pedicures and manicures. I tell all my friends and family to go there.

    I have been going here for 4 years! They are amazing. I receive great service everytime. I get a pedicure, full set of nails and eyebrow wax. I have not been disappointed once.

    I had a terrible experience! They were very rude! But I never imagine that my health was compromise ! After paying $65 for a very poor and fast pedicure one week later the nail chipped! 3 weeks later I star having pain , one month later I had to make an appointment with a doctor ! My nail is changing color ! I'm going to see what the doctor is going to say ! Be carful!

    First time going there and was pleasantly surprised. The place is small and a little crowded, but had a big variety of colors and types. A man technician did my nails. He was very thorough and very nice and listen to what I wanted. He kept giving praise which was nice to hear. I will definitely be going back.

    I came to get my nails done for my Dad's funeral and May did an excellent job. May did my nails and I absolutely adore them. My Dad would love them. Thank you so much May.

    nothing is the same as the picture. i asked and was silenced. wouldn't recommend. the lady charged me 100

    zero fucking stars. The lady that was doing my nails argued with me about what colors I wanted. My nail tips were curve after I mentioned that i didn't want them like that. Worst service ever wouldn't recommend.

    ​ I went here for a mani-pedi. After I'd signed in I was browsing through the gel colors when a woman came and got me and sat me down to start my nails I told her I wanted a mani-pedi and she nodded she proceeded to take off the previous gel on my nails and once I was out in foiled up she told me to pick out the color I was not even able to really open up the books with my tin foil nails. I picked out a color and one of the other people at work there came up behind her and said something and she looked at me and said mani pedi questioning me and I said yes and she kind of huffed a bit. She proceeded to do my nails and since it was a silver glittery it was very see-through and when she was done asked if it was okay and I asked for one more coat and she did not like that answer she also did not shape my nails nor did she ask if I wanted them rounded or squared as other places usually do. The petty was great a different person did the petty and that nail color is wonderful when it came to check out time it was $110 I gave him $150 he proceeded to give me $10 back. I was puzzled and I asked for the full amount back as I would tip from the full amount that I received back he did that and I left the $10 tip. I don't like people assuming that I'm going to tip what they want me to tip and take out the money from the change back for their tip. I worked in customer service for years and that's not how it goes. So I will not be back .

    Update on my review. Went to this place 3 days ago and my nails are already falling off. Spent over $200 for 2 mani + pedi and my nails are already falling off and they have the rudest customer service! I wouldn't go back to get it fixed even for free!

    My destroyed lashes 5 days after getting them put on

    Look, this place does nails well, but after this experience I will not be going back. I originally went in for a lash lift which I learned they didn't do. I said I wanted to check out the options for lashes (for which they have 2, classic or full). Please note that a real lash tech should ask you multiple questions (whether or not you want a 1:1, 1:2, 1:whatever ratio, the curl you want, the length you want) specifically the ratio of real lash to fake lash. I was asked no questions. This place put large 6 piece fans across my whole eye. Usually with 4-6 of my real lashes attached. Meaning when one of my lashes in the fan fell out, as the do naturally, it would put major stress on the rest. When I was done getting these on I told her I didn't like them and they were too big, to which she said I just wasn't used to having them, and that all her clients loved them, and I would too. I went into a different tech who said it looked as if they had used some sort of hair extension glue on my lashes rather than lash glue. It then took the other tech 1 full hour to get what you see in the picture off. I went into the the woman who did my lashes and asked for a refund with my lashes looking like they did in the photo below. She gave me the option of redoing my lashes (absolutely not). And she then gave me a $30 gift certificate that I'll never be using, and told me that she wouldn't be giving me a refund as this took an hour and a half of her day to do. In actuality, this took 40 minutes. I paid $80 for the lashes, and even tipped her $15 because I'm a pushover apparently and I believe in tipping. I didn't realize initially how bad this would be. Please please do not go here for lash work. It was a terrible experience, and if I could give negative stars I would. Please see the lash techs at you beauty lounge as they removed and revived my natural lashes to the best of their ability. Keep in mind I do have several bald spots now that I've seen no regrowth from.

    I went here yesterday to get my nails done and they have speed, class, good material, and style! I've been to many other nail salons in Anchorage and very very few even had 2 of these things. They are so sweet and accepted me my mother and a friend close to closing time. It only took 2 of them about an hour and a half on all 3 of our nails and they look great So if you want to make a friend and spoil yourself a little go here. They don't charge much too! For all 3 of our nails ended with a total of $145.00 ( and if you've got your nails done in Alaska they are usually $50-$60+ for not so good nails. I've added a few pictures of how my nails turned out. I got a yellow-cream color (they change color based on hot & cold). My friend got an electric green and it gives the perfect pop We will definitely be back ‼‼‼

From the moment I sat down, I knew this wasn't going to be your typical nail appointment. Leila is so friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly loves what she does. What really stood out to me was how much she cares about the health of your natural nails. Mine were damaged from thick dip powder done elsewhere, and she immediately noticed and took the time to gently work with them while explaining how we could get them back in shape. Not only did I leave with beautiful, clean, natural-looking nails, but I also felt like I had just caught up with a friend. If you're looking for someone talented, kind, and genuinely invested in their clients -- Leila is your girl. Highly recommend!

I did show up without an appointment at 3:45 PM, and they asked me to come back at five, and I agreed. I showed the young lady the picture that I wanted, and she didn't have a problem with it. She said it was fine. We started at five. She did not finish my nails till almost 8:15 PM. I also asked for a pedicure, and that wasn't started till a little after seven because the young lady doing my nails was taking more time than she thought it would take, I guess, to complete them. Everyone was obviously in a rush to leave the store and they went back-and-forth about who was gonna finish my pedicure, so once the gentleman came and put the acrylic on my toes and then another lady came to paint them and didn't give me a massage, didn't do my callus, didn't do anything, just painted my toes. She did not do a second coat. She just put clear on and put me under the light, and so part of my issue is that one, my entire toe is not even covered with the toenail or the acrylic that I paid for, so you can see in the picture. It's not even covering my entire toe. My nails, the gems on my nails started coming off because the young lady did not even put a topcoat on, and at this point it was already after 8 o'clock, so the gems have just been snagging and getting catching on to everything and popping off. Picture below, you can also see where on Monday night my nails were lifting. I don't work in any kind of strenuous job. I am an office administrator. I sit at a desk and type all day, so I'm barely having anything done around my nails where they're being aggressively forced to make my nails pop off. I did call Monday after my appointment was on Saturday night and I was told by the receptionist that she would pass my message along to the manager and the manager would reach out to me, today is Wednesday and no one has reached out to me about correcting anything regarding my toes or my nails. I did spend $220 and left a $40 tip.

    $90.00 / 2 hrs / Painful Experience / Poor Quality…read more Just moved into Anchorage from out of state. I requested a removal and a full set of French tips. I can't speak for the quality of every nail technician but this nail set in the picture was horrible compared to the 4 week old gel-x set that I had before this. When "Christine" was applying the extensions, I know I should have just completely stopped her there immediately. She was placing them crooked and unaligned from the beginning. The craziest part was when she was struggling to form a French tip with the dip powder and said, "It's hard because it's dirty." She went on to explain that the reason she was struggling was because the person who used the powder before her DIDN'T CLEAN IT PROPERLY. Now I'm just thinking about an infection because she cut me twice. I felt the first cut on the table and found the second one later in the night. My bleeding stopped very quick but it's was still very painful and uncomfortable on my cuticle. She ended up apologizing a lot for the 2 full hours she had me there, gave up on the dip powder and ended up just painting the French tip on in the end. This technician also tried to form an apex with the gel top coat which resulted in a very blobby form. It was $90 dollars. She knew she did a terrible job and she knew she kept me too long. Two other girls around said to just call if you need help. Again, I can't speak for all their employees I've heard that the "owner" and "May" give very great service, but I don't know if I'm truly ever coming back here.

She also did not reshape them correctly and she did not file down the other nails to match length even after I asked her to. The layer of acrylic she applied was so thin and burned my fingers. She also filed off some of the nail finish and didn't fix it even when pointed out and she noticed the problem. My friend I was with also asked for a very simple monochrome stripe design. The man cut her finger multiple times with the dremel tool with the acrylic, got UV-cured gel polish all over her fingers even after "fixing" it. He attempted to do the stripe design and the lines were all over the place. she showed him the inspo photos and it did not look anything like it. She ended up scrapping the design and opting for a chrome, which got all over her fingers and he didn't wash it off. Overall the place seemed clean but the vibe was unprofessional and seemed like they did not want us there. Not sure if it's just because of the time we went (midday on a Friday) but I would caution people on going here if they want anything other than a solid gel nail color.
