It's hit or miss depending on who does the service and some of the techs make it seem like it's your fault if you're not happy with the results. The manager sticks up for her people and not the clients. I see a tech that I absolutely love, and love the work she does. I pretty much dread seeing anyone else if she's not available to book an appointment with. read more

I came here for a pedicure they're overpriced. They don't offer you anything to drink. They don't have any beverages to drink such as Coke, products or juice or anything. They offer you a faucet water very unprofessional They told me they wouldn't charge to take off my gel polish on the phone and then when I got there, they charge me because I did a pedicure service. I pacifically asked a guy if they were gonna charge. He said no then when I went in, they charged me $48 for just a regular pedicure with regular polish. And the lady that did my nails room very rude I would not recommend to go here. read more

I chose Nail Bar for a pedicure before my daughter's wedding because I wanted to relax and have my nails look great for such a special occasion. I paid $80 for the pedicure and left a $10 tip, expecting quality service. Unfortunately, my big toenail never dried properly and looked terrible. When I called the salon, I was told to come back and they would fix it. However, I live 45 minutes away, and with wedding events and family in town, making another trip wasn't possible. I could not get there for two weeks. A few weeks later, while I was already in the area for another appointment, I stopped in to have the problem corrected with my one toe. Instead of helping me, the staff couldn't find my appointment under my name or phone number. They even suggested that I may have gone to a different salon. I had to show my payment receipt, tip, and transaction date to prove I had been there. Being questioned for nearly 30 minutes over a service I had clearly paid for was both frustrating and embarrassing. After finally acknowledging my visit, I was told to choose a different polish color because they no longer carried the original shade. I only wanted my two big toes repaired--not a full polish change or another pedicure. The technician who helped me was kind, professional, and apologetic. Unfortunately, she then told me the manager wanted to charge me for the polish change. I couldn't believe I was being asked to pay to correct a mistake that resulted from my original service. Eventually, the technician said she would not charge me, but by then the damage had already been done. What should have been a quick and simple correction turned into an uncomfortable experience where I was made to feel like I was trying to get something for free. Good customer service means standing behind your work and treating customers with respect--not making them prove they were there and then attempting to charge them to fix an obvious problem. I left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and undervalued. I won't be returning, and I cannot recommend this salon based on how this situation was handled. I say no to Nail Bar Apple Valley!!!!!! read more

My mom recently went to this salon expecting a professional service, and instead left completely disrespected and humiliated. She politely asked for her nails to be redone because they were not what she asked for and instead of correcting the set like any decent salon would, the staff argued with her and refused. So she rightfully got up and left. Who wants to pay for something they didn't ask for? But it gets worse. The owner chased my mom outside, recorded her, and called the police over a disagreement about poor-quality nails that she STILL paid for. Yes, paid. And instead of understanding her side, the police sided with the business and handed her a fine and community service. This place doesn't care about customer satisfaction they care about money, control, and intimidation. If you value being treated with respect and decency, don't go here. What happened to my mom was unjust and embarrassing, and no paying customer deserves that kind of treatment. read more

I'm so sad that I booked with Nancy again and expected what I had received the last time I got my pedicure with her. My appt was at 2, I'm on time and have my color picked out, we sit down and get started and I noticed it was moving a lot quicker than it usually does and she just seemed very distracted. Finally, I'm drying my toes by 235, granted pedicures usually take about 45 minutes to an hour. My pedicure has a 22 minute massage as part of it and she started her timer before she even started to massage my legs. I noticed at 245 she had another client show up to get her nails done. Honestly, I wish I would've been asked if I could come earlier so that my appt wasn't rushed because of another appt she had 45 minutes after my start time. Super unfortunate. read more

I tried this place last minute, in which they had open availability all day. I came to get a gel acrylic set for a very special occasion, and the reviews seemed promising. i wanted a Cat Eye Ombre gradient with a jelly pink base coat. the base coat itself came off more as a tan color, and I could tell my tech hadn't done gradient, comsidering she kept asking for help from peers. when finally trying, the gradient came out streaky, and not even a gradient. i decided French tips with cat eye instead wouldve been easier for my nail tech, so we changed the design to better fit expectations. in the end, my nail tech literally never used the magnet tool for the cat eye effect, resulting in a frustrating misunderstanding. paid over 70 for mistakes and amateur results. Thanks for the effort, but I'm never coming back again to risk wearing a botched set for two weeks. im repainting it over myself. read more

I had a gel manicure on March 23 and by March 26 two of my nails chipped off. I had my nails done for an out of state wedding So I'm unable to go back to salon to have fixed read more

WARNING This nail salon is the worst experience I have ever had. I have been getting my nails done for 10 years and never experienced this. This is my second time at this salon the first time they were a little rough and I didn't go back. However I had a gel x manicure done and wasn't able to get into another solon for a week. I booked the appointment and ended up with a Dai according to his venmo. He completely obliterated my nails. He pulled a hang nail out of my ring and middle finger on my left hand. He then filled my nails so aggressively he was taking my skin off. When I started to bleed I thought he might be putting alcohol on it. I later realized I was incorrect. He was putting liquid bandage on my skin. By the time I noticed it was too late. As a health care worker I think liquid bandage is the stupidest thing to be invented let alone used on multiple different people. My fingers were flaming red by the time I left and in the next two days became infected. I have been to the doctors multiple times in the past month, I have been on antibiotics for weeks with about a 75% recovery and wasn't able to use my left hand for over two weeks. My fingers are still in horrible pain and look disgusting. I would NEVER recommend this salon let alone this nail tech. They will be reported to the board. Hopefully no one goes to this salon let alone receives the same treatment. read more

I wanted to really like this place because it is close by and gives the vibe of a really nice nail salon. The first time I went before a family vacation. The woman doing my pedicure wasn't paying attention and over sanded my foot. Which was quite painful. She also took my card and asked for another card saying it wouldn't go through. I gave her a another one and found it out when I went home that both cards were charged. My husband went to get a refund on one card and they couldn't help. We had to wait one month to dispute the charge. Ughh. I decided to give them another chance a few weeks ago because I needed to tale off the gel they had put on. I wanted a regular manicure because I don't get them done ever, etc. the woman keeps trying to convince me and gives me the UV light thing. I told her I don't want gel and she said to put my hand in. Here I am thinking maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Anyways, I tried to take the polish off. It's gel and won't come off. She dod a really sloppy job also. I took some pics as soon I got home. The edges are sloppy and my hands are dry af. I realized that there was no lotion or hand massage given. Also, the woman that did my pedicure was trying my cuticle and grabbed a big piece of skin and just ripped it off!! It started bleeding and she was like does it hurt? Wtf yeah it hurts. Super disappointed and won't be going back there. read more

hi, I am not one to complain much about anything and if it's not a big deal, I let it go however I talk up this nail bar to my friend . I have to remember I get a simple polish gel polish and if not, always put on nicely, but I'm easy OK however my friend who gets a fill for her long nails and also likes art done on her nails. OK so we go in for our appointments show them the picture explain to them that it is a Matt nail polish, etc. OK so as we're getting our nails done and my friend notices that there's gaps on the side nail that are missing some acrylic she goes to and shows the girl and she said ok. and continued on. the nails painted and are shiny OK whatever they're gonna be shiny I guess I asked for Matt but whatever I'm not gonna make a big deal but then they don't follow the design. The one girl that did the design was (because the other girl didnt know how) was rude and rushy. but to spend $70 to have your nails look lile a school student had done them is pretty shity . She goes home looks at her nails. One hand is Matt and one hand is shiny you know she let the other stuff go, but my God are you serious you should've done better. I'm really disappointed really really disappointed. Unfortunately we won't be back. Now to be fair I think both girls we had hardly knew any English if not none so there is that barrier. And she had also asked if they could. All they had to say was no. Not worth the poor review sorry. We also said at time of making appointment that the fill will have designs. So I honestly think language barrier and greed took over. read more

I haven't been the type to make time or allocate money to getting my nails done. I found Mail Bar & Spa on Yelp when looking for a local place to go with my daughter for a girls day. First off, they have a HUGE selection of colors, I've been really happy with what I have to choose from. Secondly, They have small pink pedicure chairs for kids my daughters age (she's 5) they're adorable and sized for our tiny humans who want to get pampered. The staff were all super nice to me and my daughter. The nail tech I had both times, Krissy I think her name is, is by far my favorite person to ever do my nails. She's very sweet and takes the time to file out the extra gel powder from underneath your nails which is one huge reason I hate getting mine done. It catches tons of stuff and I compulsively pick at it and I don't have that when she does my nails. I have no idea price wise how it stacks up against other salons and to be honest I don't really care I've been totally happy with my nails both times I went. For a full set with gel powder, gel polish it was 40$ I think and for a fill with gel powder, and this super sparkly amazing mermaid sparkle polish it was 40$ If I continue to get my nails done I will for sure continue to go to Nail Bar & Salon and will hope to get Krissy! *update I'm pretty disappointed in my last visit. I went Thursday afternoon and the woman who worked on my nails did a pretty poor job. There was a large glob on my left nail of the topcoat I had to try to trim down and then the topcoat and decorative polish was flaking and peeling away by day two. I spent 68$ including tip on these and would now feel more cautious about who I get when i go to this salon. I'm incredibly disappointed and would have taken more stars away had my first few visits with Krissy not gone so well... *the more time has gone the more my nails have peeled and broken the more increasingly upset I am I paid 68$ for this. read more

I've been going to Nail Bar and Spa off and on for almost 7 years now. Some good experiences, some not so great but never bad enough to make me write a bad review. Anyways, I wanted to try out Gel X nails for the first time for my birthday. I was told while making my appointment that my lady was so skilled and I'd be so happy with her. First she tried to convince me not to get Gel X because "they don't last as long" which isn't true. So we proceeded... They look horrible. $62 and tip, paying more than acrylics for them to look so much worse than any full acrylic set I've gotten. I'm so sad. read more

Nail Bar & Spa - The photo doesn't do justice for how bad they look... Needs a video - Nail Salons Near Me - Apple Valley, Minnesota

Buyer beware. Watch if you cancel your appointment for a charge on your credit card even if you follow what their pop up agreement says about cancelation. I canceled an appointment Over four hours prior due to getting called into work. When I scheduled it clearly says must cancel within 3 hours....and they charged me anyway and didn't want to refund me even when I pointed out that the website says 3 hours. I had to argue to get a refund because it says in one place 3 hours and another place 5 hours. They have inconsistent rules and can't expect people to know this. They eventually agreed to a refund that is going to take 3-7 days to receive by mail. read more

This review is based on the 4 times that I've been to Nail Bar & Spa in the the past month. 1st visit was a great experience I did a classic gel manicure & Mojito pedicure. I definitely recommend the pedicure. It felt so nice and my feet felt great for the next few days. 2nd visit was to get a few nails repolished because they started peeling after a week. 3rd & 4th visit was for gel polish change. 3rd visit was good. I got my nail color changes and it mantained nicely. My only complaint is that my nails we bloby and uneven. 4th visit- Hand & Toes gel change - this visit is what makes me not sure if I want to come back. My nails were wrapped to remove gel polish then I was taken to the pedicure chair to have my toe polish removed. I still had my nails wrapped while the tech was working on my toes but she left my fingers wrapped long that my finger tips started burning. I had to ask for her to remove the foil. My nails we cut and filed unevenly and I have some nails that are not fully painted ( the side of my nails where the skin is) What I like about Nail Bar and Spa- 1) they are clean 2)well organized 3) the staff is nice Dislike- 1) they are too effiencient to where the quality is effected. (This depends on the tech) read more

I would totally recommend this nail salon! I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new salon which I could get my nails done. I made an appointment for 1:15 and was taken care of as soon as I walked in the door 10 minutes early. The price is about the same as everywhere else, and my nail tech, Amy N., did a fantastic job with both my manicure and pedicure. She took her time and ensured it was done with quality. She also was very timely as well :) would definitely recommend giving this salon a try! read more

My daughter got a deluxe princess manicure with Gel polish that was $38.00, and the paint chipped off in 2 days. It was coming off in whole nail pieces. When I called them to get a refund, they told me they could not give me a refund, but they could redo her nails at no charge. I asked them if I could have them do dip instead since the gel doesn't stay on, and just pay the difference between the Gel manicure price and they said no, they would only give me $5 off. DO NOT get a gel manicure here because it will only last a day or two and they do not give refunds. Not worth the money or effort. I spent $200 that day not including tip and they do not care that it only lasted 2 days. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I had called to make an appointment for today and I am shy when it comes to what i want so I struggle confronting people if i do not like something. Because of that I made sure to ask to be with someone who is understanding and that works with younger clients. I am not sure who I was with, she was nice and did a good job shaping my nails. But she did clip the sides too much for the shape I wanted. When I had picked from the sample colors, I picked the color that matched my picture exactly. But she put the polish on and it was a completely different color than what the sample had even shown. I know it is not her fault but I had even asked if it was the same color when she had started and she assured me that it was. I wish I would've known it wouldn't have been the same color. The pictures shown are what I asked and what I got. It is just completely different. read more

I requested 2 pedicures for 10:45 We got sat down immediately however one girl didn't want to work with my friend and insisted I sit in her chair. Well 20 minutes later my friend still hasn't even had her feet soaking meanwhile my artist is already giving me a massage. Her nail tech finally came through after spending a meticulous amount of time perfecting another ladies nails. She told my friend she came do her nail cause she has another appointment and can only paint them.. UMMM helllo we ALSO had an appointment you were later to. After explaining that to her she still refused and said her other client is also important. Ok so this client isn't tht you wasted 20 minutes of our time? I will NEVER be coming back here cause after confronting the tech, the nail techs started to DIG their finger nails into the grooves of our toes while painting. Look I know you in a busy industry. However you DO not physically or mentally abuse your clients. read more

As someone who only gets their nails done once or twice a year I prefer if they looked good. The design I got ended up uneven and slightly see through as there was only one coat. I was cut several times, you would think after the first cut she would lay off a little. After being cut she used alcohol to wipe my fingers a few times and this burned the cuts she had just made. At the end of service she put an oil on my fingers that came from a dirty looking bottle and the applicator was a reusable one that I'm upset touched my open cuts on my fingers and has also been on countless hands. I don't know how they charged me with a smile on their face as if my fingers weren't looking like trash. It wasn't clean, design sub-par, and I just pray I don't get an infection. Skip this place guys, I regret paying. read more

I received a text coupon for my birthday that they would not honor because they said it was "sent by mistake."

I'm disgusted. read more

Update: I have changed my review from 1 to 4 stars. I was contacted by The Nail Bar yesterday and they seemed genuinely concerned that I was unhappy with my service. I went back in the next today and saw Kim. She assured me that they honor their satisfaction guarantee. If you aren't happy, let them know right away and they will make it right. That's a level of service I don't often find in this industry. Everyone i came in contact with was very kind. I definitely appreciate being offered a beverage and the shoulder massage while drying is a very nice touch. I will be coming back and look forward to trying a pedicure as they look amazing. My only advice would be to book an appointment since they are so busy. And if you're looking for eyelash extensions they offer that as well. Thanks Kim for the excellent service! How do I make this 0 stars? Made an online appointment with Jennifer, ended up seeing Charlie. Needed a full set and I wear them on the long side and either still to or coffin. Since stiletto is easier I typically start with that when going to a new salon. After 90 minutes, I left without polish and the worst looking set of nails I have had in the 25 years I've been getting them done. I had really high hopes since everyone in there had beautiful nails including most of the techs. read more

Not impressed. I paid $65 for a dip manicure that looks horrible a little over a week later. Didn't get what I asked for either. Tech filed my nails to such a point I had to go back to get them reshaped the next day. Overall I think the techs are just rude. Most likely won't be back. read more

Update: nail color barely lasted a week. If that. It started peeling off within a few days. Sigh. Waited nearly a half hour, my nail tech (who is the manager?) left me in the middle of doing my nails around a dozen times and this is what my nails look like. I asked if she could do the design. Not kind of do the design. Because, by the way, the photo of the design is from this yelp page. She didn't shape the nails and they're all different lengths and shapes. She barely spoke to me but yelled around at every one else. Why is it that Apple Valley cannot get a decent nail place? I'm going to have to reshape all of my nails and because she filed some down massively and others barely (because she barely looked at my nails while doing them), they'll all have to be shortened and cleaned up since she painted my skin to the nails and some areas are ragged along the edges. Also I'm now noting bubbling of the color. You have got to be kidding me. I'll update with how long the polish even lasts. Not a good sign at this point. read more

I have been going to nail bar and spa for a while and continue to become disappointed. I decided to give it one last try and get pedicures before a vacation with my boyfriend. They did a decent job but two of his nails ended up falling off about a week later. I had gotten gel polish (done fantastically) but once it came off I had noticed now my nails were discolored and I had a fungus??? Tracey had done my pedicure and I guess the tools the ladies used just weren't cleaned properly. Will NOT be going back anytime soon. read more
