Nail Tique is one of the most hit or miss and almost impossible to accurately review nail salons I have ever been to. The quality of the mani or pedi you leave here with is so hard to predict, it depends entirely on the day, time, and person you have. For a lot of people, that is a deal breaker. For ME even that is usually a deal breaker. But unfortunately the people I meet up with to have nails done every 2 weeks pick this place every time. I cannot in good conscious give this place a 1 star review, because that would be incredibly unfair to the few 5 star nail technicians I have had. But I also cannot give it a 5 star review because of the COMICALLY horrible work that some if the other technicians I have had have done. In the past I have left here with gel so incorrectly applied that the whole piece of polish has slid off half my nails by the time I got home. I have had the incorrect polish color applied be past two times I've been here because their gel color palettes to choose from are so old the colors don't even match up. And like so many other nail salons, they are famous for having you show up for your appointment and because of how packed the place is you ask "How long is the wait?" They always answer, "Oh just 5 minutes, have a seat." But without fail 30 minutes later you're still sitting there waiting. When it comes down to it, I blame ownership and management for not having more consistency in the ability of the people who work here. Some are exceptional, and some are exceptionally bad. Don't ask me why I keep coming back. I really don't have an answer for you. read more

terrible staff & service. never again. I wanted a simple pedicure and way too overpriced for a lousy job. I had to ask the VERY rude technician several times to please fix the messy nail polish and awful job cutting cuticles. read more

Staff overall was nice, and nails came out decent. Design is a bit messy, but it's better than I could do. Only downside was one of the staff members doing my friend's nails. On the news there was a lady who happened to be Jewish talking about something, I'm not sure what, and the staff member doing my friend's nails said "I hope she goes to sleep and never wakes up" about the lady on TV. That's never okay to say in general, plus, my friend? Also Jewish. read more

I've been going to this salon for over 10 years, & I love my nails every single time !!!

It was my first time here. Located in westfarms mall. Great experience. Got a gel manicure and a pedicure and it was divine. Very friendly staff, attention to detail and gentle. A little pricier than other places I paid over $60 for what I got. But it's worth it for the attention you get. Van was my nail tech and would highly recommend her!! Will for sure come again read more

I took a chance here for mani and pedi given the convenience. Even bigger chance for a dry powder French mani. While the place is not the cleanest place I've been it is OK. Props goes to my manicurist Linda. She definitely is a perfectionist. Even tho I could tell she wasn't a pro and French dip, she definitely has endless patience to create the best look for you! read more

Bad service-high prices and cheap polish selection for those with natural nails at least. It was only because I was at the mall and needed to get my nails done Even in desperation I wouldn't come back here! read more

I always make an appointment with My before I go in. She's the only person I trust to do my eyebrow waxing and she does my acrylic nails with gel color as well. My acrylics usually last for 3 weeks! She is the best and nicest women ever. Highly recommend her and she works 6-7 days a week so it is not hard to get an appointment with her. I often call same day and there's never a problem. These acrylics are knots 3 weeks old and still going strong read more

I stopped in yesterday for a mani (never have been a customer); I will not be returning! The place was dirty; as well as the little dishes they use, the polish display, and the technician's nails(broken and with partially removed polish)!!! Everything required a wipe down! Is it ever inspected by the health department??? read more

Filthy and they did a hilariously terrible job on my full set gel nails. It feels like I have giant globs of Elmer's glue on my fingers. They attached the tips and buffed them out, and after applying a shoddy 2 coats of gel polish and 1 top coat they asked me to wash my hands and that was it! No shaping the nail, nothing! I couldn't wait to get home to shape them better myself and apply another coat of gel polish. I'm so disappointed. read more

Just did this here. Can't wait to post my review. Clearly, they did not do it in a professional way. This is literally the WORST experience I've ever had since I lived in the area. Also, it's hard to communicate with my person since she's not good at English. I'm never going to this place again. read more

It is really convenient to go to a nail salon that is in the mall. Pedicures are $25, manicures are $15 and pedicure plus manicure is $35-$36. The staff are friendly and the place is open and clean. They do simple nail manicures and pedicures and doesn't seem like it's so much the fake nails with tons of appliques type nail salon. read more

I wish we could rate employees separately. The first time I visited Nailtique, I had My do my pedicure. She did great. She took her time and gave my legs and feet a great massage. My most recent time I had someone else. She wasn't interested in doing a pedicure to say the least. The most she did was cut 4 toe nails and then paint them. The rest of the process, she was speeding through and did not do a thorough job. In the end, my feet were still rough in spots and I had misshapen nails. All that said, it's a clean place, but a bit cramped. The rest of the staff are friendly from what I can tell. If you go here looking for a pedicure, ask for My! Giving 3 stars because of inconsistency. read more

Jenny such a great nail tech! I never feel obligated to talk (I personally don't like talking the whole time I get my nails done) but the amount of conversation is just right read more

I took my gf here for her birthday, she got the works, (French mani/pedi, eyebrows, design) and I got a mani pedi as well. We loved the service and results but felt like we were way way way over charged, $150 for all of the above when the French was advertised as free, and the designs were only on one digit of each limb was outrageous, I paid it because I didn't want to embarrass her on her birthday or I would have made a scene. Will not be going back. read more

This place is terrible. Do not go here. It'll be a waste of your money. I went in for a manicure and toe color change.. This lady had no skills whatsoever. She couldn't file my nails. It was all jagged. She couldn't clean up my cuticles and all the hangnails. I had to ask her to refile and reclean my fingers.. Then the painting.. Wow.. She literally bombed it. The polish was all over my skin and even on my hand.. even the toes look bad? HOW COULD THEY freakin run a business with those kind of skills? I'm heated that they're so bad. So unskilled and lazy people.. The color selections suck too. And dirty salon! read more

Two stars for convenience. Minus three stars for ridiculous price and average service. I have never paid +$25 for a simple pedicure in my life. The girls did a fine job but honestly it was nothing special. I have definitely received better pedis for less money. I also thought their color choices were rather limited. I didn't see any of the new OPI colors and there were no Essie colors in sight. If you are in the mall and desperate for some color on your tootsies, then certainly stop by just budget accordingly. read more

The place is small, not clean, and they were rushing the pedicure. They didn't take the time to buff my heels. Some of the chairs were broken and some the massage part didn't work. read more

I've been going to this salon for over 15 years and have never encountered any problems. My has been doing my nails. She does a thorough job and has a big clientele.The place is usually.very busy and could use more space. read more

Before visiting Nail Tique, I came across several negative reviews about this salon on Google reviews and Yelp, but as always, I wanted to give it a try for myself; even if it seems easier and more convenient to judge based on reviews. Honestly, I'm so glad I kept an open mind and went. First of all, their prices are so beyond reasonable. I got a full set acrylic manicure for only $27! That's half, even a third of the price at other salons I've gone to. Their prices are unbeatable. Second of all, the manicurist did such a phenomenal job, and so did the manicurist at the station next to mine. I love how my acrylics came out. And she was so fun to talk to! I noticed a lot of reviews mentioned the space, but that's not their fault. They're a small business inside Westfarms Mall, they have no control over the size of their location. Once you're sitting down and getting your nails done, space is not an issue. Also, if you find that they have a low selection of nail polish colors (which I disagree with), bring in your own next time you visit! I definitely recommend Nail Tique to anyone looking for a nail salon. I will certainly be returning. read more

Worst experience ever! Had an apt for 12:30 with my friend, they took her on time then then at 12:45 they had me sit in the chair the water got cold they were taking other people for pedis while I was still siting in the chair.. Also let me add the maze getting to the chair was awfullVery frustrating because I just wanted a freakin pedi I will not be recommending this place read more

I've been going to Nailtique for probably at least the last six years. They are are always friendly and eager to provide their services to you in a professional manner. As a walk-in I haven't had to wait more than 10 minutes and if it does get real busy they call their other salon in the mall to have additional workers come down to help. The rule is you should probably go every two weeks to get your nails filled but sometimes that is not always convenient for me and I go longer than that and I can honestly say that my nails don't break, lift or chip. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone and have done so. The only comment I have that if you left Nailtique dissatisfied with the service, it was only because you were having a bad day. Signed, very happy customer. read more

I have been going to Nailtique for 10+ years. I have always had an excellent experience. I get the gel tips put on. They warrantee their work as long as customers keep their service current. I call ahead or make appointments. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone anytime! read more

I went in yesterday with my friend to get my nails done on the only day I've had off in weeks and I even set up a appointment and when I got there they just gave me a guy who didn't have a clue what he was doing, told him how I wanted them, short and square and I even showed him my friends nails and first he cuts them long and I was like can u do shorter and he ignored me so my friend told him to do shorter and then he finally cut them and I said square and he starts rounding them and I was like can u do more square I don't want round and again completely ignored me and at one point I took the nail filer and did them myself and he's like u want them more round and I was like no I want them more square I never told u to round them and his coloring job was a mess, I went in today to talk to a manager for my money back because this is disappointing and she wouldn't even do that for me instead she wanted me to sit down so she can "fix" them but there's no fixing them without making them look even worse unless u take them all off and redo it and she didn't wanna do that either..never going back.....DISGUSTING SERVICE read more

This place is nice, I have only ever gotten a manicure. Nice selection of nail polish and friendly chit chat.

Nail Tique is not what I had believed it was. While it was a very convenient location, I had been cheated out of my money and they did a poor job. When they waxed my eye brows they did it beautifully. I was quite happy. But my acrylic nails were made much too long and square despite my many requests for short, rounded ones. The woman doing my nails also promised she knew how to do a pretty flower design on two of my nails. I was left with a hack job that looked nothing like the aforementioned design and nail polish all over my fingernails. To add insult to injury, the two crooked designs did not even match one another. She even left the white powder underneath. Come time to pay, my total was $75. It was quite overpriced but I wasn't too concerned. I had accidentally handed the woman five $20 bills instead of four. She kept all of the money and upon me asking for it back, she denied me even giving her the five $20 bills. All in all, I personally felt cheated and ripped off. I would recommend going anywhere BUT Nail Tique. read more

Went for a Shellac manicure and... 1. They did not use real Shellac (she used Gelish). 2. The girl used a different color from the one I picked and insisted that that was the correct color when I questioned her. As a matter of fact, she used the time when I put my hands under the UV light to redo all the indexing of the Gelish nail polishes so that gives you an idea of how clueless she/the store was. 3. Since she did not use the real thing, she had to have me put my hands under the UV light for several minutes longer than is needed for Shellac. 3. The luster on the right hand and left hand ended up being different; the left hand color is duller. 4. The color hue on each finger is uneven: the color pigment gravitated towards the tip of fingers, creating an effect similar to that of ugly bleach spots. 5. Both the girl and her coworker kept speaking in Vietnamese while I was there and it was a bit awkward to sit there and not understand anything. I don't know how long-lasting Gelish is but I guess I will have this unsightly work on my hand for a while =( Conclusion: I won't be going back there and you probably shouldn't bother, either. read more

I had originally went here because of convenience - it's in the mall and it's open later than any other nail salon in the area. The environment is really important, and I didn't think theirs was welcoming. They also had a very small choice of colors, and my manicure (one that lasted less than 10 minutes) was horribly done. It's evident that the workers do not care about keeping a client base, but they rather know business will keep coming in out of convenience. Even if you're in an emergency situation like I was in, don't bother to go into here. read more

I went to Nailtique for a gel manicure yesterday and before the night was over, my left index finger chipped. I went to a different salon to PAY to have that problem corrected last night. Now TODAY, my right index finger has chipped. I have NEVER had this happen before with any gel manicure. I am not sure what they used but it is not worth the money/ time/ embarrassment of being at an event with a chipped nail. read more

I have been going to this salon off and on for years and have never had a problem until now. I had a full set put on the the young man who did it nicked my hands 4 times with the sander tool they use. one of the nicks is the full length of my nail.Even after he saw it was bleeding, he still went over it with both the buffer and a nail file!. I wasn't sure i was going to say anything but one of the cuts looked like it was getting infected. I went back to show them and they didn't seem to care. They just told me it wasn't infected and that it wasn't going to damage my nail and not to worry. I wasn't looking to get anything, but at least they could have acknowledged my concern an apologized. I know I will not be going back to this salon again. read more

terrible nail salon. i've been there about 3-4 times now and only had 1 good experience. the male nail technician (im unsure of his name) is amazing! does a great job at a full set. however the other times i went there to get just a gel manicure, no full set i've had a terrible experience. gel is supposed to last 2 weeks on average and each time mine started to chip after about 5 days... the woman didn't even my nails out at all and she made them uneven so they looked crooked. also idk if this is necessarily their fault but 3 of my nails chipped at the top afterwards and got ridges in the top so they dip down. not to mention it's overpriced and they're extremely rude. their used to be 2 nail salons in the mall and the other one was 10x better. they should've gotten rid of this one instead read more
