I wanted to something simple and pink. Voilá!
Linda B.

As usual, Johnny was ready for.me at my appointment time. He wad patient as I selected my color. While I was doing so, he offered me a drink. I have a severe back injury. He and the manager are always helpful. My nails look great. I am a happy girl!

Nice place, terrible with acrylic. Went in for basic soak off and full set with nothing fancy. Had acrylic all over my cuticle that I was picking off. My nail tech thought that it was a great idea to cut the acrylic that was on my skin so now I have niks all over my fingers. The polish wasn't blended at all and looks terrible and the laying of the acrylic is so thick and so wide.

gel Pedi

I called and made an appointment, which I highly recommend. When I got there, I sign-in with the phone number I made the reservation with. I was able to select my polish and then Lisa was there to greet me. She was ready for me. I got a Mani & Pedi with gel polish. Lisa is great. She has done my nails on 4 different times and I have been highly satisfied. When I brought my MIL in with me for a gel manicure, the tech who did her nails was new and he did not do a good job. Lisa went to the manager and she made him fix them. I really appreciate that she was concerned about the service that was provided and that she wanted us both to be happy when we left. There are many stations and the building has bar service (I have not used it) but it looks like they could handle a party and large group gatherings.

Arrived at 7pm to have my daughters pedicure done for homecoming. Of course when we pulled up the manager was outside SMOKING CIGARETTES profusely. The couple of times I've been there, it's annoying when he comes in to greet you with the strong smell of tobacco coming from his mouth. We go back after picking a color and immediately given a list of high price pedicures. They have gone up tremendously so be sure to take out a small loan before you go. They add things like a sugar scrub to Jack the price ‍. I selected the $42 one because she had a rough volleyball game that day so I wanted to treat her. When she finishes and I went to pay... the total was $63.50!!! I questioned the price and she said remember you chose gel and they added a fee for using my card Basically they want untraceable CASH! Well Next time we will chose a salon that doesn't send you straight to the gel polish and who discloses their prices before a service. I think we're paying for the glitzy light fixtures and the Addams Family chairs up front! They also ask if you have cash for tips and if not, do you have cash app. Too overwhelmed about their predatory prices that I was underwhelmed of my daughters pedicure!!

Shoddy polish job after about 4 days
Tori B.

HORRIBLE. Dishonest practices. After about 2 days, the polish on my toes started to chip. What you see in the picture is about day 4. Polish on the toes usually last about 10 days for me. I called the salon and spoke to Lee and he asked me to come back so they could fix the issue. After waiting 30 minutes, I left. One of the ladies seemed like she would repaint me but when I said it was not a polish change and no charge because of the previous shoddy work, she used her hand to physically push me towards the front of the store. I took a deep breath and realized for everyone's safety and sanity, I should just leave. I should also say, on the day of the original work, the lady who did the work asked me about 5 times if I wanted gel. I consistently said no. I wonder if they do something to regular polish to not make it last so that the person will opt for gel the next visit. Never again will I go there and will be sure to take my own polish from now on when getting mani/pedis.

Kathy is one of the best nail techs at Modo Nail Bar! I've been going to her for over a year when I requested someone to care for my injured foot as I needed a pedicure for a special event. She is very personable and makes you feel important as a client. If there's anything your not happy with, she will fix it for you. Recently we tried something new with my nails because I type a lot at work and just do a lot with my hands aka "obsessive cleaning disorder" lol. She gave me a dip & gel manicure combo. The results so far have been the best as I have not experienced any chipping or lifting of the nails. They are nice and strong and my pedicures are always the best. Modo Nail Bar also provides complimentary water, tea, or sparkling cider during your pedicure, and for a few $ they have wine by the box and snacks.

The shape I asked for.... repeatedly.
Micah G.

Don't come here. I went in to have a pedicure and an overlay done. As in was getting my nails done, the tech was shaping my nails, and one was extremely crooked. I asked her about it, and her response was "just trust me, I am not done". Ok.... but they were not being shaped the way I asked her to. She accused me of yelling at her. I did not, I would never. Then she huffed away yelling in her language. The manager? No idea what his name was, saw my crooked nail, soaked it off, then reapplied acrylic to all of my nails... while answering calls, coughing, and "managing" everyone else. I made the mistake of coming here for a "mommy/nursing student break" and I never will again. They rush. They treat people like they don't matter. They aren't receptive to any questions or feedback, and they treat people as if they are inconveniencing them to have to work with them. The way the first tech blatantly lied and accused me of yelling at her, I honestly did not want to have the police called for requesting them to correct my nails. I just wanted to get out of there, and never come back. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THESE PEOPLE.

Injuries I've sustained from this business
Raquel W.

DO NOT EVER GET YOUR NAILS DONE HERE! I am traumatized from my experience. I went to get my nails done LESS than two weeks ago and all of them were lifting and painful. Most of them, I was already able to remove due to how bad they were lifting. This was GEL nails at that. I paid $95 for!!!! One as you can see from the pictures below, when taking it off, I saw that my whole nail was split. It was so painful , I took this nail off because I couldn't bear the pain. When I removed it with clippers, I noticed that it's my actual nail was ripped open. I came back to the shop and expressed that I wanted my full set- redone for a discounted price due to how they were damaging my nails and also because it was less than two weeks and they all came off.... i was immediately met with attitude and a man who I assume is the manager started to do my nails. He was aggressive and started yelling at me when I said that he needed to remove the remaining nails since they were lifted. He initially tried to put nail glue on them, but when I made that request, he raised his voice and said "let him finish". As he was taking the remainder of the nails off, he was talking in his language to another coworker and wasn't paying attention and he ripped the nail and my whole section of my pinky nail and skin off causing me to bleed bad (see the picture below) he said sorry and then said he's doing my nails and I can come tomorrow and get that nail done. By this time, I'm crying from the pain and uncomfortable and he continues to badger me to let him do my nails. Then he tried to spray alcohol on it!!!!!!!! I walked out and said I will never return. I've never been treated so inhumane. No refund, no real apology and people just standing around looking at me..,, this is unacceptable and I will be reporting this to the cosmetology board as the service was not okay and I was injured due to their services. You need to do better by your customers and realize they make your business. You injured me, my nail service was done horribly and you did nothing to try and make it right. Please, do not go here for acrylic nail application. I would hate for anyone to experience what I have Update: as I was sitting outside making this review, the same man that hurt me, knocked on my car multiple times saying for me to come in and get my nails done saying he'll do it for me and asking me if my finger is okay. He came back AGAIN after that and knocked on my car again!!!!! Harassment, injury and at this point, I'm feeling very uncomfortable. I literally backed my car out because I wanted to slap this man..... Never in my life have I experienced this. This is crazy. He kept coming outside smoking cigarettes and harassing me.

After letting the nail tech convince me to put powder on my nails

By far the worst gel manicure. Sloppy job and chipped in 3 days instead of 2 weeks. Poor customer service I certainly will not return.

Very clean and organized. Very modern. Appointments are better to get the tech that you prefer but the majority of them are very good.

Love! Unfortunately, I often visit different nail salons whenever my polish gets chipped because…read moreI've been getting my natural nails done--no gel, no acrylic, or any other type of fake nails--almost every week for 16 years, since I was 18. I usually go for regular polish, paint, and glitter, LOL! However, I've found that 80% of the time, the reviews and prices are either false, misleading or even generated by AI. Many of these salons are disrespectful and unprofessional, assuming I will return to complain or demand a refund the next day, especially for just regular polish. It's frustrating! This has never been an issue; I haven't once discussed or felt the need to discuss anything like that with Linda! I haven't seen her in almost four years and have visited about 50 technicians since then, all because I need immediate service and no longer live in the area. Despite that, I've only written maybe eight reviews in my entire life, and Linda is, without a doubt, the best nail and eyelash artist I've ever encountered. I'm so glad Yelp randomly asked me to write a review at the best time for a wonderful person! Take care and happy holidays!

Linda was wonderful. She's easy to talk to, and she did exactly what I was wanting. I love my nails…read moreand we'll go back to her again definitely.

I was also offered water much earlier during this visit, and my nail tech was meticulous. The final result? I LOVE my nails! But here we go again with the TIME. The fill-in took almost TWO HOURS. Why are we here this long for a fill-in?! I came for a fill-in, not a residency! Taking your time and being meticulous is one thing (and I appreciate that) but almost two hours for this service is just too much. The quality could still be better as well. I'll give credit where it's due because there have been improvements, and I really do like my nails. But I already know the rule when coming here: clear the calendar, bring some patience, and DO NOT come when you're in a rush.

I requested her and was told she's on "vacation." The person on the phone suggested "Pin" so I made an appointment with her. I show up the next day on time for my appointment. Pin was busy with someone else. They told me to have a seat at the pedicure bowl. I wasn't given a wait time. I sat there soaking my feet for at least 30 minutes before Pin was finally available. I understand taking walk-ins but why allow appointments?! Someone came in right after me and she was told a 30 minute wait. She literally was siting at the pedicure bowl for an hour. Pin did a great job but the color selection is very limited. I may give her another chance but I don't know if I'll be in a hurry to come back!
