I've been a customer of Nail's 1st for over two years now. I was just charged $66.00 for a fill!!!! I have short, squared nails, one color. The only modification I asked for was a matte finish...which adds $5.00, no problem. I just called and asked what a NEW set of acrylics cost and was told $50. I then asked about the price of a fill and was quoted $45. I realize it's $21.00 but this is the 2nd time they've played me, and thats a bit excessive if you ask me. Seems like they pick and choose who they over charge. They treat me like I'm new every time I'm in there, which is beyond annoying. read more

Went for a fill. Had my nails recently done in Columbia and I loved them!!! But I'm not going to Columbia so I need to find a place closer to home. Based on reviews I went here. Now I had a pedicure here before that I wasn't thrilled with but it wasn't awful. Not either way enough for me to leave a review. But getting a fill was terrible. I absolutely will NOT be back. 1. Not greeted at all. (Next person greeted three times to the point they were annoyed) 2. Tech did NOT remove my existing polish well and complained asked me what kind of polish. OPI, dude OPI it's not some rando polish I got on wish or Walmart. It shouldn't be hard to get OPI off. 3. I mentioned the color I wanted was very light and I was concerned about it showing through he insisted it was fine. 4. I went in with long almond shaped nails and he asked me if I wanted to have them cut down and I told him a tiny bit tiny bit. He took off half the nail. And then he goes is this good. No but it's too late now you just took half the nail off. 5. It's not fine I can see it through on several nails and there was some kind of lint that settled on one nail he didn't want to be bothered with fixing. 6. $37 for a mediocre fill is not ok. 7. Cut me 3 times Not welcoming, not friendly, Not professional, TERRIBLE job and he KNEW I wasn't happy he just didn't care. The girl next to me had STELLAR nails so I don't know what the glitch is here. I can't say I think it's personal as I've never been in there and I'm pretty basic. read more

Sunny did an amazing job making my acrylics look completely natural. I LOVE them. I like my nails short, but my natural nails are so thin and they peel easily. These nails are PERFECT. I couldn't ask for better. read more

Went on a quick visit to JC over the weekend and needed to get my nails done bad. Was unfamiliar with the area and stumbled across this salon. Vivian gave me one of the BEST manicures of my life. She was so nice and friendly. She did a great job. Very much a perfectionist. Didn't cut or hurt me at all and did a fantastic paint job would definitely recommend her. Ask for her by name. I guarantee her good work. read more

If your black just make sure to make an appointment. Even though I was at the shop first they helped THREE people before me. All because I'm doing nails and a pedicure. I just want to know the difference between my nail set. And the customers that were there after me. A couple getting pedicures and a girl her nails done. Just make sure you make an appointment if you are black and going here or you will linger around while they get all their white customers in and out. If I could choose a 0 I would. After an hour and a half of waiting they said I could come back if I was in a rush. If I was in a rush I wouldn't have waited an hour and a half just for you to keep me lingering around. Be cautious before coming here read more

I will never go back to this Nail Salon. I went here once when I was in a hurry and could not get into my normal Salon, Top Nails. I had a new set of nails put on and a pedicure done. The pedicure was okay, but when they put the Polish on, it was sloppy. My new set of nails were horrible. They were shaped more like a spatula, narrow at the base and wide out past the tip. They were also very lumpy, for lack of a better word. They were not at all smooth and they did not look good. I was getting ready to head out of town on a trip, and quite frankly, I was embarrassed of my nails the entire time I was gone. The first thing I did when I got back was go back to my normal nail salon and have them fixed. I do not recommend going here. read more

Found this shop here on yelp, best set of nails o think I've ever had. I am two weeks in and not one bad started popping up or getting weird. I came early so there wasn't a wait but it got busy fast and people were waiting about 30 minutes. I definitely recommend this place. If I lived in Joplin this would be my go-to. read more

This nail salon was clean, comfortable and accommodating. I took my mom there for her first ever manicure. Lee was wonderful and took good care of her. Wonderful experience! read more

I was recommended by a co worker to go here and I have never went anywhere else. I love how they do my nails and I have tried the so called best in JC but this place is the BEST! I like Mike but actually have never had a bad nail fill and they will do anything I ask polish wise. I get ideas off Pinterest and show them and they do it. I took my daughter and grand daughter there and just love this salon. read more

My daughter had her nails done here in late August and her toenails were cut so short that two of them bled, and one got infected. Went back to the salon and they said no worries - told us how to clear up the infection and said that the next time she needed her nails done it would be free. Went back yesterday to get her nails done (the toes have finally healed and grown out) and was charged again for the service, even though we were told it would be comped. The man who I talked to was very rude and made a big stink in front of all the other customers. The reason we were given - they said they would have only redone the nails in August, seems wonky to me when your toes are bleeding! Then we were also told that the lady who promised to redo her nails for free did not work there anymore and it "wasn't their problem". Treated poorly and won't ever be back in this salon - that is what I get for giving them the benefit of the doubt and walking back through their doors. read more
