I originally chose this place because they seemed to offer more services and design options compared to nearby salons, and my first experience here was great. This color came out even prettier than I expected, especially under the light. The nail technician was also very friendly and patient It also feels like they may have changed management recently because there are so many more styles and design options now compared to before. Will definitely keep coming back!

I sat at table four but don't know the technician's name, but she decided that she was going to use the Dremel to cut my cuticles so it cut five of my nail beds. I was lightly bleeding and she apologized so it's been throbbing for two days. In my 20 years of getting my nails done never have I seen someone do it without the proper equipment. Her technique polishing was excellent and clean but unfortunately, the polish chipped in two days which is pretty quick for gel. Pricing is fair $30 for a gel manicure and $5 for removal. Sorry I won't be coming back.

The manicure included removing my previous Gel-X, but I did not receive gel polish, regular polish, or any upgraded manicure service. $70 for these services is ridiculous. What makes it worse is that this isn't the first time I've personally heard a customer complain about being charged a high price for what they felt was a simple mani or pedi. At some point, the pricing needs to be more transparent. I should have been told exactly what I was being charged for before the service was completed, especially if there were additional removal fees. I would have made a different decision had I known the final price. I left feeling overcharged and very disappointed. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and based on my experience, I can't recommend this salon.

Since coming to Queen Nails I prefer waterless manicures. Not only is it more hygienic, but my nails are stronger and manicures last so much longer. I always get compliments on my nails even when they have 3weeks growth! While trying to write a review for the service I received today, I noticed there is another nail salon with a similar name.

Got my nails done with my girlfriend for her birthday and the customer service was genuine and kind. Chris was very polite, checking in on my girlfriend if she was okay, if she liked the design, and if anything was hurting to let him know. Also, he didn't charge for one of our designs due to being a little backed up and we had to wait a little longer but he was very kind and apologized for being backed up (not his fault). The ladies here were also very polite and have a soft touch. The Nailfie here is very pristine, clean, and very well put. He was very upfront about the pricing so no surprise charging and was also recommending some good designs. I highly suggest anyone looking to get their nails done to definitely come check this place out! I will definitely be returning, the nails turned out phenomenal! read more

This is by far the best nail spa I have ever been. I've always had a hard time searching for the perfect nail spa until I found Chris. He is by far the best nail guy I have came across. I have been with him for years. He takes his time with you and always makes sure you are happy with your nails. Even sometimes when I have no idea what kind of design or style I want, Chris is there to help. I just give him a color and he does the rest. He comes up with the most amazing designs and I am always so impressed every time when he finishes. He can work with any type of nails. From regular, to gel, to acrylic. Here are a few designs from Chris. I have many more to share. I strongly recommend him!!! He's really good! You will never be disappointed read more

First time coming to this salon since the new owner came in, and I love it! The old owners were not very friendly and it all felt rushed and weird, but with the new owner everything is so friendly and time is taken to ensure that your nails are perfect and to your liking, the owner makes suggestions and I so recommend that you take it! I LOVE the nails he recommended to me and personally I would have never even thought to choose them, but I'm so so happy he introduced them to me because they are a new favorite, for sure. I completely recommend this place to all nail lovers especially if you want to feel at home, listened to and want to leave satisfied!! This nail salon is called Nailfie :) read more
