    What I got
    Kathyurshka R.

    This was my first time entering this business and I had a little relax time aka me time while my kids were in art group. Sadly left disappointed showed a picture of what I wanted and she held my phone like she was trying to imitate the picture. To do nothing like it. Didn't have the energy to say anything just won't be returning. She could of just said she couldn't do it and I would of found something simpler.

    Nails, a week old

    I have gone three times since may, two with pedicure and two with nails. Wonderful service both times,clean, and managed efficiently. They line the foot spas and are great at getting what I want. This is definitely my go to salon when I don't do my own feet or nails.

    If I could give negative points I so would I just came to get my nails done the nail technician did not listen to anything that I wanted to get done I walked out with a completely different set than what I came in to get extremely disappointed horrible customer service. Not worth $55.00 extremely disappointed save your time and money and go elsewhere I promise you'll find better. Plus they are not following the COVID social distance.

    Done by Vee.

    I been going now for 9 months, finally found nail shop that fast, friendly and affordable. Vee is awesome

    Nails after 2.5 week acrylic nails. Need fill

    Nails first is one of the best nail salons in Colorado Springs. Weekends are always super busy and if you go any Thursday Friday, Saturday or Sunday after 3, prepare to wait. Other than the normal wait time you will see at any rushed time... they are amazing. The female manager is friendly and very professional. She takes pride in her work and can do a full set of acrylic nails PERFECTLY...so timely too for such a high quality of nail work. Mine typically last 2-2.5 weeks if they are done at nails first. Most nail salons in this area will make you pay full set or convince you every time you need a full set. This is not the case at nails first. for acrylic full set and fills, I highly recommend Tan as well as any of the employees. they are super kind and for those of you who don't like the side foreign conversations... at nails first they are very respectful and speak English enough to make general-moderately in depth conversations without confusion, to their clients. They try. They Care about their clients. and do an amazing job. While living in co springs I will not be taking my business anywhere but here.

    took 2hrs & girl had 0 idea &filed them so much 0 length,owner knew i was not pleased&finished them, youngman did my toes great!

    horrible 0/10 but the young gentleman was great, lady was clueless and got yelled at..

    They didn't listen. Over charged pre discussed price. Cut my toe nail when I asked for a little acrylic on one side to square off my broke toenail. Instead they cut my nail to be way shorter and then took a perused file to half way square it but it looks round. I asked 3 times and was done wrong. Then on my hand they were supposed to repair a tear in my nail bc all I wanted was a polish change and a little repair on my natural nail. Well, I'll give you one guess what they did..... cut my nail and put an acrylic on it!!! I now have 9 natural nails that are shaped like doodoo and an acrylic nail. I went ahead and pretipped when I paid and ended up having to tip two people bc that's how they are set up. So, I came in expecting to pay 20-25 dollars TOTAL for a polish change AND tipping 10 -15 bucks bc I'm like that......and somehow I got a 30 dollar pedicure and 17 dollars to file and paint my nails and the 15 dollar tip. Umm, no I pretipped 15 and was charged damn near 50 dollars. So, 67 bucks for what should have been 26-36 max!

    I did a trail by error and made an appointment with these guys before I left. AWESOME!!!

    First time coming, and let me tell you it will surely not be the last time either. Excellent…read moreservice all around, hands down! I have been to a lot of Nail Spas and Salons and this one is welcoming, clean and most of all affordable. I'm not from Colorado Springs, let alone Colorado. So I will admit I was skeptical coming here and solely came based on the yelp reviews before me. I called and set up an appointment for my friend and I to get spa pedicures. The nail technician on the phone informed me that she was the only available and it would take some time but was more than willing to take both of us. When we came she welcomed us and offered water and free wifi, which was not only nice but pretty cool. So she started with my friend on the pedicure and we told her there was no rush to take her time. In the process she was sociable and friendly. On top of that she had some one come in to help her with the pedicures. Both technicians were funny and friendly. We chit chatted about the VMA's, Artists, local news in Colorado and so forth. Before you knew it we were there for about an hour, but it didn't matter we were having fun. On top of it all it was so relaxing and they used gloves and cleaned utensils the whole time. Finally I decided to get a Gel polish manicure. She was fast and gave me several options to choose from. I was comfortable and at ease. Both of these technicians took great care of my friend and I. Their work is greatly appreciated and their personalities are the icing on the cake. I am originally from California, but when ever I come back for training or to visit my friend, I will make sure to stop by and get my nails done. They do great work and highly recommend this salon for your manicures and pedicures.

    Aretha has moved her services away from the downtown area, but is still easy to find. Still…read moreconveniently close enough for me. This was my first appointment with Aretha. I had contacted her earlier in the year about her services and she was very kind in calling me back and discussing with me at length what my options were and what services she specializes in. I finally made my appointment and am very happy with her excellent treatment and the end result. I do believe I will be a steady customer!
