The salon is really cute--nicely decorated, spacious, and very inviting when you walk in. I loved the vibe and how comfortable the space felt. I came in on a Monday night, so it wasn't busy, and I was able to get seated right away. The pedicure chairs were comfortable, and I enjoyed the massage feature while soaking my feet in the hot, bubbly water. I asked for shellac/gel French tips, and the tech brought over the color basket. The pedicure itself was just okay. She didn't spend much time on the basics like callus removal or a calf massage, but the French tips turned out nicely. I was actually impressed that she painted the white by hand instead of shaping with remover. After the pedi, I was moved to the nail desk for my manicure with the same gel French tips. The time spent felt about the same, pretty quick and without a hand massage, but again, the finished look was clean and well done. The hand-painted tips were a nice touch. Overall, the staff was very nice, and the salon itself is adorable. It was a decent experience with room for a little more attention to detail. read more

I needed something new in my routine and I came to this nail shop in mid April hoping to find a place that I'd be able to get bi weekly services. I visited back in October of 2025 and for a pedicure that was decent. This time around I opted for a gel manicure and pedicure during my visit. The woman who did my nails was very nice and I enjoyed the my appointment until the end of my service. I have never had a gel manicure where the nail tech filed and shaped gel nails after she was done putting on the gel polish. I wasn't expecting her to do this so I wasn't able to stop her but I wish I would've because my nails stayed lifting the same day! Truthfully I don't typically get my polish done on my natural nails but I asked a friend of mine who does and she was taken aback by the fact that the nail tech filed my nails. That night I even wore gloves in the shower bc I was scared they'd peel right off. And ofc the very next day I had two fingers chipped very badly. I decided to go back to the salon three days later when they opened so that they could rectify the situation. This was no usual wear and tear and I was disappointed with their lack of accountability for the fact that my nails were not done properly. I was also disappointed because I had to pay for the new service since the owner only offered me $5 off. I was in desperate need so I went ahead and paid the $40 since I had an event that same day. I couldn't help but walk away feeling like I'd been conned out of my money. I didn't want to get in any arguments which is why I paid for the service but I will not be returning to an establishment that wastes my time and my money. Two manicures in 4 days for basically fully price is highway robbery. read more

Requested builder gel mani and a gel pedicure. The pedicure wasn't bad at all. It was relaxing and the lady did a great job. My mani was done by an owner and it was horrible. I never complain when I get my nails done but I had to ask her to fix my nails 3 times before I gave up. I was the only person there and spent over 3 hours there. The woman was very nice but the service itself was horrible. I would never go back. read more

Love this salon! Many options for manicure and pedicure. They get the job done nicely! Unlike most of nail salons I tried elsewhere, I actually was able to chat with the ladies there and enjoyed the conversation. They do speak English well! As we want to support small biz who might have suffered from the lockdown in the past 18 months, I would love to come back often to support them as well as enjoy myself. Way to gov Nail Cops! read more

I needed gel removal before a big event and they delivered it quickly and easily. I was even a few minutes late and she was so gracious about it over the phone when I called to let them know.

I love this salon. They do a great job and go out of their way to accommodate. Good people. I see Heidi

I got dip nails and love how they turned out. They are so so sweet here-- I had some trouble finding it and she helped me over the phone! They immediately offered me a water bottle and at the end, dipped my hands in some hot wax which felt amazing. It was a little pricy to have a design done, so I just got simple dip nails and the price is super reasonable. I recommend coming here and giving these sweet gorgeous ladies your business :) read more

The salon was a bit difficult to find because I am not from here, but honestly, It is in a great spot. Close to all bus stops. The salon is inside the plaza and it is so quiet and calm inside. The nail salon is light and friendly. The nail artists great you and ask if you would like some water. The girls are very fast and so kind. They also have a huge variety of colors. I have done acrylic dip, as always. My nails are still strong and in amazing shape after 3 weeks. The nails are light and even, not chunky or bumpy or heavy at all. The price is high but the speed and quality is worth it. The nail artist also did a freestyle on my nails according to her, but the picture I showed her and the design she did are almost the same. So good job! Looking forward to go back. read more

Okay let me front load this: 1. They will try to upsell you - like nearly every. single. nail salon you have ever been too. Kindly tell them 'no thanks' and you'll be on your way. 1a. I got the upgraded gel pedicure with scrub - not mind-blowing, but I have had worse. 2. BRING CASH IF YOU ARE A TIPPER. Can't tip on your credit card - they will push atm, hard, or four square 3. Place 'seems' clean Why four stars - 1* price was mall prices gel mani pedi with salt upgrade was $90 - okay it was around work, it was a holiday treat to myself, I'll get over it. 2* pedicure from Hang was great. 3* Hang got my hangnails (thanks - I hate doing it myself) 4* see above and location Minus one star for a crooked French lines :o/ - I can do crooked all by myself. Overall for my first visit they were friendly, happy, polite and didn't have to have chit chat ... I would recommend!!! read more

Im not someone who writes reviews often, however this shop earned five stars. So before going to the place i read the review & it was horrible , the person claimed there nails to be damaged by this salon. I was a bit spectacle About the review so I took the leap of Faith & decided to check it out myself. Plus this was one of two nail shops in the downtown area . Trust me i am hard to please but the place did a great job and i must say i was super satisfied. One of the best nail jobs iv ever received. I like my nails short and natural looking & they did not disappoint. The lady was polite and made my visit comfortable. read more

HORRIBLE! I practically begged them to brush the dust from filing my nails before applying gel and the tech refused saying "we've been open 11 yrs." I should've gone with my gut because not one of my nails lasted even a full week. All I got was clear gel lol read more

I was in town on a business trip and needed to get my nails done. I was a little skeptical watching the nail tech do my nails as I have done the dip for years and it seemed "hurried" but I let it go. I lost my first nail THAT evening. It is now 5 days later and I've lost 5 nails. I called and they said I could come in and they'd look at them but when I said I lived out of town and wanted a refund (I could provide pics, etc.), they said they did not do refunds at all. Like another poster, I got the "we've been doing nails for 12 years...." In all the years I've gotten my nails done this has never happened. I do not recommend them. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Traveling on business and had a few hours of free time so decided to give Nail Cops a try. They were oh so friendly and so helpful! I love how my gel manicure came out and I appreciated the environment. It was clean and comfortable and the nail technician was engaging and worked efficiently. While I was there someone came in to have a nail repaired and they did so without grumble and free of charge. What???? Fabulous service! read more

The service was good nothing special but my manicure and pedicure were both OK. The weird thing was is that I had gel polish on my toes that was growing out and a lot of the toes didn't have polish and I think it was only two full toes and then two of my toes had like half the toenail with gel. And she charged me five dollars to remove the gel as I am getting a very expensive pedicure and gel manicure. It was just really poor business. And the salon was OK but it certainly wasn't the cleanest. And like I said the service was OK I got an adequate manicure and an adequate pedicure. I probably would not go back even though the service was OK just because I hate places that nickel and dime you once you're sitting in the chair . read more

I recommended Nail Cops to a friend. She went in to get dip polish and picked out one of the only nude colors they offered in that kind of polish. She discovered that night that it was a glow in the dark color, which no one told her. She would have never picked that if she knew it glowed in the dark. She went back the next day to get it fixed, and I joined her to get my nails done too. They tried grinding off the top coat but they continued to glow in the dark, so she asked to have them completely removed and for her money back because after 2 hours on 2 separate lunch breaks, she didn't want to come back for a third time for Nail Cops to MAYBE get it right after yet another hour or so. They REFUSED to refund her, so she spent $45 and 2 hours to have her nails done and then removed. Whatever. The WORST PART is that the second she left, my nail tech and the one next to me, proceeded to blame her for the whole thing, speaking negatively about her (they even knew she is my friend) to myself and another guest we don't know. My nail tech rushed through the rest of my service and my nails look like I painted them.... which is not a good thing. I told them that it is extremely unprofessional to speak negatively about a customer to their other guests, but no one apologized. Despite being a regular customer, after today's nonsense, NEITHER of us will return. read more

Sorry but my husband took the shot and the light wasn't quite right lol. I love this place and will come back here when in town. read more

Was very pleased with my manicure and powder dip overlay. They were able to get me in last minute.

Convenient spot downtown to get your nails done but not the highest quality job. I work downtown so I've occasionally gotten a gel mani over my lunch hour but for some reason my manicures from Nail Cops have never lasted as long as when I've gotten them done elsewhere. I've usually been able to walk right in and the staff are nice but make sure you bring cash as they are pretty adamant about at least tipping in cash! read more

just left and i had such a good experience! heidi was great. kind, intuitive, professional, through! definitely will be back!

This place is great if you want super basic nails. I wanted to have clear nails put on. No one there had ever seen or heard of it. I wanted clear acrylic used. No one there had ever seen or heard of it. I wanted a foil design. No one could do it. After showing them photos of other designs I liked and seeing the nail techs facial expression, I realized I just needed to get a basic full set with French tip. My nails came out ok. I would come back here if I'm crunched for time and need my nails done in a jam, but never for anything unique or designs. read more

I'm seeing a few reviews regarding technique with more trendy styles, but with a little feed back from me and going over the reference photos a few times, I got a beautiful ballet shape. Try speaking up during your appointments, they're more than willing to work for you and the pricing is more than fair. read more

This was my go to place. Had 4 great experiences there until I had a bad fill with gel. The thumb broke off randomly the 3rd day causing that to chip and 3 other fingers chipped. I called and asked if I could come in to get it fixed and then they tried to charge me for a gel paint which was only $10 but I had already spent $45 days earlier. They then made me pay $3 since I said no to that and wouldn't run my card since it was under $10 and made me go take out cash. They just lost a loyal customer that came in Bi-Weekly over $3. Not the way to run a business read more

I paid 305 for me and my homegirl nails and my diamonds fell off in three days. One week my pointer nail broke.

Four of us went in for pedicures. We only had an appointment for three (my daughter decided to come at the last minute. They accommodated us, although one of us sat with feet in the water until everyone else was done. They did a very nice job. I didn't give them five stars because I was a little worried about the cleanliness of the whole salon. A little tip if you go here: go to the bathroom first! You have to use a key at a bathroom in the hall, the woman's room had a key broke off in the lock, so we used the men's room (hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go!) overall we were satisfied and would go back if my regular place is busy. read more

I am not pleased with my last experience at Nail Cops, and I have been a customer that goes on average 1x every 3 weeks. My nail artist persistently pushed upgrades, which I can forgive because most nail salons use this tactic. What I am most upset about is that at the end when I asked to add a tip on to my card, and she asked me to go to the ATM to get cash. As I previously mentioned, I am a loyal customer and I know you can add a tip on to the card. Because I know there are fees, taxes, etc. I usually tip 25-30% when I don't have cash. However, she refused to let me tip and again insisted I go to the ATM. I said I do not want to pay ATM fees to both the ATM and my bank, but she held firm. I eventually gave in and went to the ATM. Needless to say, I won't be returning. Nail salons are a dime a dozen and there are many other options. It isn't like they this place does an exceptional job and I can't live without their work. read more

I was in town for business and needed a quick mani/pedi so I tried this place. The actual location seemed like it was in a run-down mall and it was very dirty. They had a dirty carpet and it didn't seem like any of their stations had been cleaned in a while. They took tools out of their pockets and drawers and not out of sterilized, sealed containers. They tried to aggressively up-sell me on their manicures and pedicures, and when I agreed to the second tier of their services, they went ahead and did the top tier services and proceeded to charge me as such. The manicure and pedicure itself was fine. No chipping yet, as it is been three days. Should have gone somewhere else! read more

Don't know what folks are complaining about. Went to Nail Cops while in town for conference bc it was right across from my hotel. Place was not the fanciest "spa" atmosphere but it's what you would expect from a quickie nail place. Clean utensils. Clean foot basins. Nice hot wax treatment for manicure. She worked tirelessly on my feet for the pedicure. I got classic mani plus class pedi for $50. Would def recommend if folks are used to a city quickie nail salon experience. read more
