Ok so I have a hard time writing this review because I'm torn. I've come here a few times over the course of our short time in North Dakota, and it's hit or miss for me. Firstly, the good: the vibe is classy & chic, clean and sophisticated. Also, their bar guy is solid! I've never had such an amazing Thai tea!!! They offer plenty of fabulous mani/pedi/spa options. Now here's the not-so-great: it's NOT CHEAP. Let me state the fact that I come from a city with the largest nail salon in the world (Houston, up until this past summer... Dallas now holds that title with a 13,000 sf ft space!). I guess they really do everything bigger in Texas, right?! Lol. Now back to Nail Boss. I swear the prices here are at the very least DOUBLE of what I pay in Houston. I haven't been to any other nail salon in Bismarck (or North Dakota, for that matter), so I can't attest to the average pricing for y'all, but DAYUM! So I would give 5 stars if the mani/pedi was perfect every time, but my last one before leaving was not, unfortunately. My pedicure was essentially UNCURED and my shellac was slipping and sliding all over the place for well over a month underneath the top coat. Furthermore, I didn't even ASK for shellac on my toes! I just wanted matching polish to my shellac mani. I was preoccupied talking to the nice girl next to me before realizing what had happened. I must say however, my manicure & pedicure lasted well into the 8-week mark. That is a super record! No chipping, breakage or anything. Just super, duper grown out nails. I think I was just seeing how long it would go. I didn't replace it all until I absolutely needed to for an event, and even then, my nails were still intact! I'll miss that Thai tea though... :( read more
