I decided to treat myself to a Self-Care Day for the beginning of the New Year 2026, so I decided to get my nails done. I decided upon a place called "Nail It and Bar!" I had such a wonderful experience during my recent manicure. My nail technician was professional, friendly, and incredibly detail-oriented. She took her time and never rushed through the service, which I really appreciated, especially compared to other salons I have visited. The ambiance was pleasant, clean, and very comfortable. In the background, they had a relaxing musical playlist that included nostalgic 50s tunes and fun 90s pop music. After my nails were finished, I decided to enjoy a 15-minute neck massage, and it was heavenly. She used oil along with a soothing, pain-relief heating ointment that felt amazing. I left feeling relaxed, pampered, and extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Highly recommend! read more

Went back in for a manicure and left very upset. I was asking for fixes along the way and the manicurist seemed irritated. The lines were not clean and the polish was bubbled almost and not smooth. Very thick and bulky with lots of acrylic stuck underneath my nails. It was actually uncomfortable. I spent a lot on mine and my daughter's nails and we both were very disappointed, went to another salon the next day to have them removed. My pedicure went great, but wouldn't recommend for a full set. read more

I took my daughter to do her nails for her graduation. The people there are nice but their work need more experience. The nails are uneven the design Messi honestly they didn't do good and my daughter was so disappointed and she cried because her nails is ruining. It's very bad experience and that the price is so high compared to their work. read more

Terrible experience. Tiffany did great with my nails, my pedicure was a disaster. The polish was on the cuticle that was not properly cleaned out. Polish was on my skin which caused the gel to peel of as soon as I showered, toe nails were uneven and she refused to cut them after asking twice to cutting my nail a little shorter. read more

Tiffany did a great job on my acrylic nails. This is the second time ive seen her and after the first time my nails lasted 3 weeks before needing a fill. I absolutely recommend. Ask for Tiffany read more

I've been coming here for years. The staff is friendly. They are so kind and patient with elderly clients. The facility is always clean. If they are running behind they call to tell me to come later which I really appreciate. I go with my mom who is in a wheelchair but can transfer herself to the pedicure chair. It's nice that they make sure the first chair is available for her because she cannot walk unassisted. Diane is seriously the best! I'll keep coming her for years to come. read more

I won't go anywhere else. I have been going here for years and I've gone to so many different salons through the years happy with one then l'd get a couple sets in a row I saw something wrong with or the nail tech would upset me wirh something small...I'm kinda picky but tiffany has never let me down, and she's very friendly. The pictures speak for themselves read more

Father daughter time! I've finally convinced dad (over 80) to get a pedicure with me. My hook is that we can go to Starbucks after! This is one of our favorite locations. Like with Starbucks, they have gotten to know dad and treat him really well. Sometimes he only gets his toes cuts and others I have him get the works! Diane takes good care of him regardless and lets us know how to keep his feet in good shape. Mimi has done a bang up job on my toes making sure they are perfect! It's a clean location and during the extremely hot summers they keep it air conditioned so it's a pleasure to sit back and enjoy the chair massage! read more

Walked in for an acrylic manicure fill. Asked for simple design, French tip nails with two different colors, one on each hand. Inside was very clean and nice. My issue was with the actual manicurist doing my nails. She was struggling to shape them, each nail ended up looking different. She was also struggling to do the basic French tip design. I ask her to fix two nails and she got up and had someone else finish my manicure. On top of that, the owner and 2 other ladies proceeded to stand over me for the remainder of my service. I was very unhappy with my experience and my nails still came out uneven. Had to go get them redone at another shop. read more

I walked in and was seen immediately for a pedicure and gel manicure. Pedicure first was ok. Didn't shape my nails very well and ended up having a sore big toe. Manicurist was very distracted. Forgot to trim the nails on one hand I had to remind her. It took three plus every other manicurist to get my polish on. Final result was not what I expected. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Everyone will have different experiences when it comes to service industry. My nail tech was mimi and she was very unfriendly and when I requested my nails a certain way refused to do so saying "pink powder not look good on you." I have had pink powder and I know in fact it looks great on me! She proceeded to not listen when I said I wanted shorter. When I had to return because they were too long she was rude. Fast-forward to the following Tuesday my nail popped off less than a week later. I told them I couldn't make it due to work and she insisted that I come before I get off work and made it pretty clear that was the only allowed time. I wish I never went and allowed them to treat me so poorly and ruin my nails. By thursday (0ne week after wasting $65) I had lost 5 nails, she choose too small of acrylic or something for my nails. read more

I asked for magenta coffin nails and I got thick squares and 5 layers of messy red paint . I asked multiple times for her to make the shape thinner and gave up. They were so bad I went to another salon after to get the paint fixed, and then on top of everything the original acrylics started popping off TWO DAYS after I got them done. Not worth the price I paid at all read more

I think this salon is underrated. I saw Tiffany today for my French manicure and she did an amazing job! You may think it's hard to mess up a French manicure but well, I've had it happen. I'm also particular about the base color and she matched it perfectly to the photo I showed her. Great work and I will for sure be back! read more

KATHY WAS AMAZING. She made my acrylic nails look natural, they are exactly how I wanted. She worked quick but paid close attention detail, I really appreciated that. I can be particular about my nails & how I like them, so it's always nervous trying a new place or someone new but she made me very comfortable, asked how I like my nails, & did a great job. This nail salon over all was a great experience. (Right now, they have 10% off any service with complimentary drinks, that includes alcohol if you're 21+) Everything was very clean & modern. Everyone was very friendly & welcoming. I like to have my pedi color match my nails so I always look for a good selections of matching gel with polish for toes & their selection is huge. It was by chance we tried a new place, but I'll definitely be back! read more

Not bad. Very clean and efficient. Staff all very friendly and nice. At first glance can seem a bit pricy compared to Hillcrest but when you get a free commentary glass of wine it's worth it. I've been here twice now when I go with my friend and I'd come here again with her for sure. read more

Made an appointment that they were unable to do. I waited 30 minutes without anyone addressing the issue and left. My advice: Don't make appointments you can't keep. read more

I went in for a full set of acrylic nails in which I was very specific about what I wanted, (with pics), Todd continued to try to do something different so it was a constant battle. In the end, I still didn't get what I asked for, 5 times. After 4 days my ENTIRE SET has lifted. I only wish I could give this place a "0"! read more

I was nervous about going back to a nail salon after they reopened due to COVID-19 but I actually feel safe in here. I got a pedi and a full set and I love my nails!!! They are following the coronavirus guidelines in a certain way: mask required, hand sanitizer provided, they check you temperature before any type of service, they have like acrylic dividers to separate each area, when is time for your manicure there is a acrylic division with a small gap below it separating you from the manicurist. The gap is big enough for them to do your nails but to keep you safe at the same time. The whole staff was wearing mask and they have a limited access to the salón. Tiffany did an awesome job with my nails and Nancy gave me an amazing pedicure. I'll be back soon! I hope they don't close again. read more

I went to get my nails done on Saturday. And when they started they didn't say a word the whole time and my person kept taking brakes to start texting. And when she finished we went and paid it was pretty cheap but then I realized why then next day all my nail polish was coming off and I didn't touch it by the second day I had no more nail polish. I do not recommend this place . read more

Oh man. Very very impressed with Tiffany. Quick and efficient. I quickly showed her what I wanted and the results were spot on. Exact shape and length I wanted. Very happy customer over here. read more

After my last review the owner messaged me and offered for me to come back free of charge. I got the same tech, Tony, and he did much better, even let me change the color. Afterwards the owner walked outside and personally apologized to me for the last visit. I understand things happen and maybe it was just an off day last time. Thank you for allowing me to come back today. read more

First let me say the work is good. That is the only reason for the 2 Star yet, something is greatly off here. They ONLY let you pay via Venmo and you cannot put any notes in regards to any type of nail service. Zelle and Cash is also allowed. Several of my friends go here so I gave them a try. But after my good friend went there and accidentally paid double Via Venmo. It took them a week to refund and they literally had to walk in and demand their double payment back. Not good business. Something is very Shady.....Be honest please read more

Came in for a pedicure-it was just lame. So disappointed and waste of money. On with the search for a good pedicure...It's not here that's for sure. read more

This nail salon has super affordable prices, and is very clean with friendly service. You also get complimentary beverages. I walked in here for a pedicure, and the massage chairs are great quality. Would love to come back here if I'm in the area! read more

I came to get a gel manicure and pedicure about 245 on a Wednesday. Wasn't busy. They took me back right away however, no one really spoke to me while they were doing my service. My gel manicure was not good. There was still dead skin left around my nail, my nails had not been shaped (filed poorly), and gel polish all around the border. Also, the polish didn't even go to the edge of my nail but it was on the skin. My pedicure was just ok. Nothing significant about it. I got a callus remover and pedicure. Massage was very short and below average. Then at the end, my provider said someone else would come and place a topcoat. I waited over 5 minutes for someone to come (place wasn't even busy). Finally, someone came to place a topcoat. I waited for it to dry for ten minutes. Waited for someone to come back and help me with my shoes. Nothing. I was just left there. Put on my shoes and went to to the front desk. So then when I pay, the lady is busy writing in her notebook. Ok. So I wait some more. She asks me if I had cash for a tip which I felt was rude. No one wants to talk to me except to ask about a tip. Will not be returning and I don't recommend this place. read more

I just got home and I'm upset with the work that they do. I got a pedi and mani. I'm not happy with my mani. What I request is simple and I do not get what I ask for. Before I get anything done I show them a pic and ask if they can do a certain design and both times they said yes! Well I do not get what I want! This looks cheap and not worth the price. Please do not waste your money on designs only get basic color if you are going to them. This is the last time I will be going to them. I thought it was convenient because it was close to my house but both times I left upset! read more

I'm new to the area. I was looking for a new nail salon with good customer service and clean. I previously went to a different location that I found on yelp with more reviews but when I was there they were not capable of helping me because I did not had an appointment, So went to my second option on my list and drove there, they greeted me so promptly and help me right away! I didn't have to wait at all. They offer me a complementary Mimosa with my pedicure and manicure!!! I felt so special I will definitely come back again and try their other services. Tim did my nails and he help me with my neck with a quick 5 min massage and make me feel a lot better. I'm making an appointment for me and my husband for a cupping massage & hot stone with him next week. Thank you guys for the great service. read more

I am a 25 year old male. I wasn't enthusiastic about salon care until I tried it for the first time here. Now I try and go as regularly as I can. They helped me understand everything quick and easy and it's very relaxing. I have only done a manicure and pedicure and gotten clear polish but I am highly satisfied. My feet are doing a lot better since I have started going more often. Thank you Thank you! -Sanitized -Good Customer Care -High End Massage Chairs -Convenient location -Rewards Punch Card read more

This place is very nice. The customer service was good. All the workers that came in where friendly. Really like this place. ONLY PROBLEM IS. There where 3 ladies together that did not want to wear there mask. It would have been nice if the owner would have asked them to put it on. Its for safety reasons for the other customers and the workers doing there services. Hope next time if this occurs the owner will ask them to wear there mask. read more
