This is a very good place for a pedicure. Cathy does a great job. The classic pedicure is $40 and includes a good massage of your feet and legs including lots of nice products and heated stones. The salon is very clean and comfortable. Check it out. read more

Got a pedi, mani, and waxing from this place. It was a decent pedi mani for a decent price. I like the convenience of this place because it's close to my house. I was able to make an appointment right away. I got gel on my fingernails and it lasted awhile before chipping. It's definitely a busy little place. The owner seemed friendly as did everyone there. The waxing was pretty good, but I didn't like that they charged $5 for every patch on my face. Usually when I get a chin wax, that covers the sides of my chin and under my chin. The prices were ok for the experience. I was hoping for a better and longer massage and shaping of my nails. Cheers! read more

This estalishment does not adhere to appointments made, will turn you away or rescheduled you. Technicians; Cathy & Vicky are prejudice of Thai and Mexicans. I was questioned if I was from Thailand. I informed that I am hispanic, born in the USA. They informed me this was not so, as Mexicans are not skinny, but overweight. How appalling and disgusting! My skin color should not matter or me being under weight due to a medical condition. Customers should not be questioned on their sex, race, weight or counrty of origin. Shame on you for such unprofessionalism. read more

Clean and organized shop space with updated massage chairs (5) and manicure tables (6). The prices were reasonably what you'd expect around town. We did not have an appointment but were seated immediately for two gel pedicures. Very friendly service, good selection of gel nail polish colors, and we were done within the hour despite there being 6 other customers actively having services done as well! Will definitely be back! read more

The nail techs are all very kind, took us quickly, and the vibe is great! Super happy with this spot. Definitely better than most in the area. read more

Modern Nails & Spa - My new regular manicure! and the storefront. - Nail Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

So we looked all over town for a place open on the 4th. We found this place. Hope all turns out well. Everyone inside is very busy and seems to have a lot of customers. They put this blue stuff in the water and then you put your feet in. They do use clean tools every time so that is good as they use one of those machines that clean You have to try the massage chair, does not have heat but sure does massage your back. Yup that was okay, there are better, they do not check quality of their work. Did feet and still have jagged nails -yuk read more

I felt like a million bucks, so much so I will be returning in 4 weeks to see Daisy again!

Modern Nails & Spa - Fabulous work by Kim ;) - Nail Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Of course, I'm the only bad review. Makes me wonder if they deleted all the bad ones! I went in to get my wedding nails done (which the workers were aware of).The young chick that works there absolutely half- assed my nails! I asked for acrylic nails. When she started my nails I could till she was rushing and just didn't care, I felt rushed and in the wrong for coming in. As I was leaving, my nails looked like they were already grown out, They were so crooked when I pointed straight, my nail was pointing to the right. Plus, my nails were so clump and bumpy I was embarrassed to let people see my hands. When tipping her, she said, " If you need anything fixed, come in and I'll fix it. When she said that, I knew that she was aware she had messed them up very badly. It was my wedding and she f-up my hands that badly. Why would she care for a non - formal set of nails. Absolutely do not recommend. I paid 95$ for a trash set of nails!! read more

My Aunt is a regular here. Whenever I visit, this is the place I go. Best experience and really quick service without skimping. I recommend making an appointment as they are always busy. read more

Excellent place! Im a diabetic and they take special care of my feet! They are so nice!

Very nice calm place to have your nails done at. The messaging chairs are awesome. It's nice and cool in this place. Not over crowded like some places. They take their time and there is no 20 min extra waiting for nails to dry. When they are done, you are done. Cindy is very good. read more

Very very pleased with this place. I came in a hot mess , I have a new baby and my poor nails were falling apart from washing my hands so much. Cindy did a wonderful job with my broken short nails , my skin feels nice and soft now and my toes look fantastic as well. The two women working ( Cindy and Kim) were very sweet, even on the phone when I called both times they were just very nice and welcoming. I left with a smile on my face and for the first time in a while felt like my money was well spent on my mani pedi read more

Not overwhelming with lots of people but still busy so call for appointment. The skin care products here are premium and imported. The beauty of comfort at its best read more

This place is not my usual place for a manicure, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I am a creature of habit and when my regular place for nails was unexpectedly closed, I choose to venture into Modern Nails. The place is very clean that was my first impression of this place. I should've have know by the non-existent clientele that something was off but again desperate measures. I picked my color, and the lady working on me started and from the beginning her hands were shaking, first thought was great a noobie or anxiety driven individual. The gel polish was uneven, I had to repeatedly tell her to go over certain nails to even the color out. When it came to paying I kindly told them that the job was not well done and I asked for a discount. They offered 2 dollars off!!! REALLY for a 10 finger bad job. Pshhhhh the little man started to raise his voice, well I remained calm and finally said fine as I didn't want to waste another minute in there. Paid and left. Don't recommend this place at all. The worst 25 dollars that I have ever spent in my life. And my nails will now look horrible for a special banquet that I have tomorrow! Grrrrr read more

Modern Nails & Spa - Although very clean this place does horrible nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I went in for a pedicure and went back to have a manicure. I've been going for a few months now. I don't know who left the bad review, but these people are wonderful. They learn your name, what you like, and treat everyone so well. Their work is amazing. It's the only place I ever found that can properly backfill acrylics, and after 10 weeks, I haven't lost a nail yet! I always get compliments on my nails and feet. The prices are reasonable, the service and results are top notch. Whoever had such a fit in the other review is probably just your basic b**** read more

I decided to pop in to Modern Nails on a whim. (And also that it was going to be a rare 70 degrees in February) I was cheerfully greeted by 2 women working who asked if i minded waiting a little bit. I greatly appreciated that they were respectful of my time. Kim & Cindi took there time with each customer (which is why i knew it was worth the wait) I highly recommend seeing them as i did on a very intuitive whim! read more

My aunt invited to get a pedicure, and I had never been here before. I was so pleased! I recently got my acrylics taken off so my nails are still sensitive. The lady actually used a FINE file, and she did the most full service police change ever! For $5.50! The place is clean, they ACTUALLY sanitize all their pedicure tools, and they were all so sweet and welcoming. Also they really listened when I asked questions. This is my new place for sure! read more

Have been coming here for 6+ years! Kim is amazing and always does a wonderful job and is very friendly. I highly recommend this place!

I went in to have my gel changed and my experience was not good. The lady working on me got polish ALL over my skin! On my cuticles, under my nails and above my cuticle area. She did not file my nails and they are all different lengths. Yikes!! The woman was very nice, just not very skilled in the trade. read more

Modern Nails is the best nail salon in Albuquerque!!! Kim and Cindy are so sweet and great to talk too while your nails are getting done. Kim hands down does the best eyebrows in the city. I will never let anyone touch them besides her. I highly recommend Modern Nails if you are looking for a great overall nail experience. read more

I have always received great service from Kim and all the girls. They always make the appointment a comfortable, pleasant experience. I have natural nails and I get many compliments on how nice my nails look. Kim keeps the shop clean and inviting. read more

First off, if I could give them 0 stars, I would. I came in with my sister to get a mani and pedi. I got gel on my finger nails and they chipped the next day. When I came in to get my refund after calling about the issue, they refused to give back my money. All I wanted was a refund on the gel, which was $15 (their price board states that it should have been $5). I spent half an hour arguing with the owner and she didn't want to refund me because "the nail tech that worked on [me] is not here to refund [me] and I'll have to give you money out of my own pocket." This is a business and, regardless of working off of commission, my refund should not come out of anyone's personal pocket. On top of all of this, she and the other nail tech in the shop were conversing in a different language while I was talking to her. It was not professional and made me uncomfortable because I had the feeling that they were talking negatively about me. read more
