I'm a broke college student, was just going to paint my own nails but wanted a relaxing day with my roommate. Instead we got sat I PUT MY FEET IN THE WATER and then looked when they asked about the temperature and saw a bunch of whatever floating in the water(see video). I immediately took my feet out and later told them why. Three people were involved very concerned, yet I got one "I'm sorry" and paid full price for a shitty manicure (literally) read more

Worat refill ever. The nail shapes do not match and you can tell the details are not on point at all. The person did it in a hurry and also made one of ny cuticles bleed. I had to go home and fix the nail shapes myself read more

The nails came out super thick and I kept showing my inspo pic and they're nothing like the picture I showed them. And then the nail lady kept making sexual jokes and I felt uncomfortable. read more

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. They are a ripoff and take advantage of people. 20 for an eyebrow wax is a ripoff.

I had the worst waxing appointment I've ever had. Nancy provided horrible service, and I didn't stay to complete my service because she was so rude. It was a simple eyebrow, lip, and chin appointment and it could not have been more uncomfortable. I will not return and I will be sure to share my experience with my community. read more

Well, on the positive side, my nails DO look good. They also have plenty of staff for walk-ins, while it seems like many places in town are appointment only. That's about it, it though. What they gave me was different from what I had asked for, after verbally confirming that they could do it. I also didn't see any evidence of them sterilizing their supplies in between customers...eww. Now, I don't expect great customer service when I go to nail salons. Sitting in silence is perfectly fine, but the woman who did my nails seemed annoyed that I was there! She rolled her eyes and barked commands. Not pleasant. read more

It was my first time coming here and they did such a good Job! They accept walkins, luckily they were able to fit me in for a full set. Everyone was super polite and the place is very clean and organized. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I truly recommend this salon very professional I have been coming here every 2weeks for a little over a year I really like the services your wait not long, Staff very nice You will not be disappointed. read more

I use to love this place but hadn't been there since before Covid. I was very disappointed to see how much it's gone downhill. They now reuse the toe separators and flip flops as well the files on customers feet.... Which I'm pretty sure reusing the files is against health code It grossed me out. Won't be back. read more

Excellent service! Very gentle with my difficult toe nails. I highly recommend them! Best in Bloomington, Indiana!

I was spoken to like an ignorant child. It goes a little something like this...I came in with ambre and needed a fill. I was told they could not do that but could achieve the same look with paint. Then at the end I was told I had to do solid color. I was still trying to trouble shoot and ask questions in hopes that I could still obtain the look I originally wanted. It snowballed from there and took a deep nose dive. I was being spoken like I was an ignorant child, Like I was a horrible human. I was paying to feel absolutely dreadful. I know it isn't easy to get bad reviews off of Yelp so Enjoy and Cheers! read more

There's a reason I keep coming back! The best acrylic experience I've had in Bloomington yet read more

Wonderful service, lovely staff, very clean. Perfect! I can't recommend Nail World and Spa enough!

Let's get Straight to the point. This place is trash nice people but trash. If I could give it a negative rating I would. I went at 1 for a fill my nails are already chipping and it's 430 ??? The nail tech zipped me with the file and then kept filing with the same nail file which is disgusting. I call the salon to ask about a refund they said come back. I am not coming back to a place that does shotty work? Don't waste your time or your money in this place. read more

The only reason I'm giving this place 1 star is because I have to give at least 1 to write a review...so here we go. I want to start by explaining I'm usually the type of person to be polite just for the sake of politeness but the experience I had today here was just a utter nightmare. I visited with my best friend, we had both booked appts for a full set (acrylic) nails. I requested the nails be shaped in the popular "coffin nail" shape which my technician assured me he was familiar with and had done before. The results are square shaped nails with rough edges and a terrible paint job. While my nails were drying I noticed several white flakes stuck in the polish, I explained to my manicurist that something was stuck under it and he simply painted over it and said you're good. Upon paying for my laughable manicure the guy charged me full price despite my utter and obvious disappointment. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. To make matters worse....my friends nails look even worse than mine so yeah, STAY AWAY read more

I have gone to Nail World & Spa many times, but after my experience today, I will never return. I first stated that the primary reason for my visit was to have my heels smoothed because I'd just returned from the beach. The gentleman who gave me my pedicure, spent almost no time using a buffing pumice and did not use a razor. After quickly applying lotion for the "massage" portion of the pedicure, leaving the "hot" towels on my legs until they were quite cold, and not filing my nails at all, he did a TERRIBLE job applying polish. It was all over my skin to the point that it even got on my sandals, and he applied the polish so far up on one of the nails, it looked like it had already been growing out for several days. When I pointed out one of the nails that was particularly bad and asked him to redo it, he simply got out the polish remover and brush to clean it up to absolutely no avail. I had planned to get a manicure as well, but the pedicure was so awful I told them never mind. The more I looked at my nails, the worse I realized the service was. Not only was the polish everywhere, but the bottoms of my feet were still just as rough as when I'd arrived and there was even dry skin on my toes that hadn't been addressed. I told the owner that I'd especially wanted my heels smoothed but asked him to look at the polish as well. He not only didn't apologize, he just walked back into another room. When he returned, he told me to sit and re-soak my feet. Finally another technician returned to begin redoing the pedicure. She removed polish from two toes before the owner signaled for her to start on another pedicure instead. After sitting with my feet in cold water for 20 minutes (after already having been at the salon for an hour and 45 minutes!!), I told them I couldn't wait any longer. I never received an apology, and the only reason I wasn't charged was because I told them it was totally unacceptable and that under no circumstance should I be charged. I attached photos to show how my feet looked when I left (zoom in for the full effect). Needless to say, I would have been far better off leaving my original pedicure alone. My recommendation - do NOT go to Nail World & Spa if you are looking for decent service. read more

I usually have an average to good experience here but during the busy season they tend to prioritize getting more people in than actually giving a good experience and good nails. They're my favorite place in Bloomington but recently they've been underperforming. I think they just have a lot on their plate but my nails this last time look like they've been done at a child's birthday party. Overall good place on the off season, bad near spring break or end of may. read more

For my first pedicure after moving to Bloomington what a shit experience. I came in with 2 family members after making an appointment and requested their deluxe pedicure. The tech did not shape my nails, cut my cuticles, or remove my callouss until I said something. Then they tried to tell me my feet weren't that bad while I'm touching callouses. The tech used no lotion on my legs instead messaged my legs with the stones on dry sugar shrub rubbing my skin raw. I had to ask he remove the scrub and he never asked what services I wanted that were change able. Then when he was done he rolled my pants down on wet legs and made me move out of the massage chair and wait on my family at the dryers. When the store was empty and they were still next to me. Never coming back. Both my family members had excellent experiences and good technicians. Guess I was the unlucky one. read more

I have always had outstanding service here. The staff are friendly and my nails always come out amazing. The prices are pretty steep but you get what you pay for. This is the only place I trust to do my nails. read more

This is a nice nail salon for my gal pals...the work they do is very nice and the prices are fair. We used to go to College Mall but the waits got out of hand. Found this little place just on the other side of the street and we changed it up. The gals like it and we never need reservations so this is the place for us. read more

If I could leave no stars I would, I showed them what I wanted and asked if they could do that and they said yes they could... well they really can't. It looks like my 2 year old son done them. And honestly, he could do better at them then they could. Worst 53$ I've ever spent on some nails. Definitely won't recommend them to anyone. When I called to ask if they could return my money or fix them the man who answered the phone said they can't. So, with their crappy voice and awful service I won't ever be visiting there again. read more

One of the absolute worst nail salons I have ever used. When I arrived I asked how long it would take for a pedi/mani and was told 1 hour. After waiting 30 plus minutes they began my pedicure. The girl took over 50 minutes for a pedicure. I then was placed at a station for my manicure. After waiting 20 more minutes I asked when I would have my nails done. I was told it would be another 15 minutes. When I asked once my nails would be done how long it would take, I was told 45 minutes. If you have three hours to waste and want a substandard pedicure/manicure/powder, then this is the nail salon for you. Pedicure looks horrible and now I need to have my nails redone. Save yourself money and time and use any other nail salon in the area. Terrible quality and terrible service. read more

I've been here many times. Never had any difficulty and the people are really nice. The longest I've ever waited on a Saturday was 5 minutes. read more

They very rough with the pedicure and left nail polish on my foot. Nail polish was applied very sloppy and they used nail glue to fix the big toe nail that was uneven. Not worth $35. Employees looked sad and it was super duper quiet there was no music or tv. read more

Never going back. I had an appoint and they kept switching who was doing my nails. they kept making me wait and they were rushing when they finally sat down to do my nails. I got dip nails which usually last me 3 weeks but from here they only lasted me 5 days! They already chipped and broke. Never coming back and very disappointed. read more

I don't think I will end up going here again. My friend and I went today and got basic pedicures. It only took about 15 minutes and they barley got the dead skin off my feet. For the both of us it cost $65. I thought that that was very expensive for regular pedicures. read more

I highly recommend nail world and spa. I've been many times by myself as well as with a big group for a team outing and they consistently deliver wonderful customer service and beautiful work. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Nail World is fantastic!! These people really know what they are doing. The salon is clean, the service is great, and the prices are fair for their services. Make an appointment because they can get really busy especially when the IU students are in town. They are in a new, bigger location in Eastland plaza (better parking as well). It is better then their old location with more chairs and nail stations. Trust me, these people will treat you well and do a great job. read more

The one time I got a pedicure I left feeling dissatisfied. The staff were very rushed and spent almost no time scrubbing my feet or trimming my cuticles. I was in and out in less than 20 mins, which might entice some customers, but I left feeling like I could've gone elsewhere for a more substantial service for the same price. The reason I give them 3 stars is because of their polish job. My nails looked nice, but my feet didn't necessarily improve. read more

The first time I went there I had a great manicure. Then, I went back this past Saturday and got a dip manicure and it started chipping the very next day. So disappointed, the dip was as thin as a gel polish. They did maybe two layers of dip, no bottom coat and a normal polish top coat. Will not be returning read more

Nail World and Spa is, hands-down, the best nail salon in Bloomington. The technicians are amazing! From the shaping of the nail to cuticle trimming and polishing, each step is done with incredible precision and care. You will appreciate the attention to detail and that you won't spend all afternoon (or all of your paycheck) getting your nails done. This place is also clean clean clean. Everything is autoclaved and each client gets their own nail file and brush. I am always comforted by the cleanliness and how quickly instruments and pedicure tubs are cleaned immediately after each client. I have been a loyal client of Nail World and Spa for 7 years and have never been disappointed. My pedicures last up to 4 weeks and manicures, anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 weeks! I would never go anywhere else and would most definitely recommend this salon to anyone and everyone. Professional, friendly, inviting and impeccably clean. I would also recommend their gel manicures and eye brow waxing! read more

Selena is the BEST. She does a great paint job and is very friendly whenever I've come in. My only criticism is that their student discount is only $1. read more

Gel and pedis always stay on for weeks! Love all the employees here. Wouldn't go anywhere else in Bloomington.

This is the worst nail salon ever. They sat me down, made me wait two hours saying "it would be 10 minutes." They then put gel nail polish on my toes when I asked for regular and one of the nail salon people hid the fingernail polish I wanted to use so he would make sure he got my money. Finally, as a result of the pedicure I got a toe infection! read more

I used to go the one in college mall, but the work was not that good and the price was extremely high. Stop by nail world today and get gel polish for $35. I like both their work and the price. read more

Nail World - Gel polish for $35 - Nail Salons Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

I saw mixed reviews online but decided to try it out anyway. They were nice not super welcoming but they did there job and have done it well. Don't listen about the comment about not using gloves. They wear gloves. And the place seems a little weird on the decoration side of things but it is clean and a good place if you just want to walk in. Most of the workers don't know English but that isn't something that bothers me that much. As long as they do a good job I don't mind. read more

This place is great. I have gone to almost all the nail salons in Bloomington and I will tell you this place is incredible. Yesterday I had gone to crimson nails to get acrylics. I knew exact what length, what shape, I even had photos of how I wanted my nails to look... I am a nail fanatic so I like my nails a specific way lol. I had showed the guy that was doing my nails what I wanted. He didn't ask me once if I liked the length and before I got a chance to tell him that my nails looked like a duck bill and I did not want that he started painting on the gel nail polish. When I was paying I had whispered to my friends and the woman working told me that I looked unhappy and her husband would help fix what I wanted done. I was very thankful that she told me they would fix them, great customer service on that front but AGAIN even her husband didn't even ask me if I liked the shape after he had changed some things. So, today I went to nail world and spa and I got Long and I will tell you that this place is great. Long asked me if I liked the length, the shape, and EVEN THE COLOR after doing one nail. They tried to salvage my nails and honestly I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I don't usually write reviews but I felt inclined to write one for this place. I am a person that loves nails and I'm so happy with this place. I will be coming back to nails world and spa whenever I get my nails done again, which is often. read more

I went to Nail World and Spa about 3 weeks ago to get an acrylic nail gel fill. It looked great at first! About 3 days later one of my nails broke off, so I called and made an appointment to get them redone. After sitting for 30 minutes while walk-ins were getting taken care of, I finally sat down. They fixed my one nail which was uneven in shape to the rest of them, I left. They all seemed annoyed while I was there and like they were rushing to get me and everyone else out. The very next day, 2 more of my fake nails broke off and the color on my nails had faded so much that it looked horrible! I would not recommend this place unless you want to waste $40 plus tip on something that won't last you more than a week. You will have better luck at Jenny's Nails or Maisunami. read more

Rude. I came back because I had bubbles in my nails they told me I would have to wait for 6 people ahead of me to get their nails done first. I had to go out of town so I could not wait, when I asked for store credit or my money back they acted like I wasn't there. If you are in Bloomington I suggest you go to Jenny Nails read more
