I have gone to several nail salons in Madison after living here for six years and Nails 4 U is by far the best. The first time I went I got a shellac manicure and it lasted four weeks! I am the type of person who chips my nail polish within an hour so this was a shock for me. I have been happy with every trip there and will continue to go back. read more

Nails 4 U - Shellac manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Hands down, without a doubt the best place for a manicure or pedicure in the greater Madison area. I've been going here since 2007 and haven't found a better place yet. The salon is sophisticated, calming, and meticulously clean. The staff are professional and listen carefully to clients' requests. Safety and infection control are a top priority here: they use new supplies for every client for items that can't be sanitized (nail files, etc.) and pedicure bowls are given new plastic liners after each use. They are true professionals at applying & removing CND shellac polish. You won't find any damaging nail grinders here! Cecelia and her team are so wonderful. Don't waste your money anywhere else! read more

Been coming here for years with my mom. Cecilia and the other women who work here are so attentive and charming, and the new space and look are gorgeous!! Wonderful nail salon in Madison, and I think they're well on their way to becoming chemical free. read more

I love this place! I've been here twice to get my nails done and both times have been a great experience. I always get so many compliments on my nails and have recommended it to several friends! read more

First time here today! I initially made an appointment for this place because it was highly rated and rightly so!! The two women that work here were so sweet and kind! I made an appointment for myself but brought a friend and they were able to give both of us a manicure at the same time. The manicures turned out fabulous! They even gave me some tips for how to remove the shellac and how to keep the polish on longer. I will definitely be going back for a pedicure [and manicure] soon! read more

Nails 4 U - Beautiful shellac nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

See all

Okay, so I am a guy reviewing a nail salon. Not because I'm a metrosexual kind oF dude, I'm Old Achool. That being said, I am the one who drives with his wwidw there and I see the attentiveeness to their customers, the dedication to cleanliness and an absolutely happy wife each time she goes there. So satisfied us my wife, she convinced me to go for a pedicure. First one in my life and they didd everything to make me at ease. For annual lady who is looKing for feast treatment I recommend Nails 4 U. And for you guys looking to have your toe nails cut this is the place. read more

This place is definitely a little hidden in the office building, but luckily it is well marked and not too hard to get into. The first time I came here, I definitely was thinking to myself if I was even allowed in the building (it is very empty!). I came here to do a shellac manicure with a friend, and we made an appointment in advance, since they were going to be working on the two of us at the same time. We arrived and they greeted us immediately with a smile, which was a surprise. We picked out our shellac colors and were sat down next to each other. The manicure process itself was pretty standard. I will say that they take extra care to make sure they aren't too rough with your hands and fingers. My manicure turned out beautiful, even right at the very edges of my nails. Each nail was coated evenly (and I had a light sheer nude pink, so you can see the "streaks", if any). The sides were very important to me, because if they are done poorly, they tend to lift up over time and tempt me to start picking away at them. Overall, while they are *slightly* pricier than other nail salons in the area, I would gladly pay the little extra for the good customer service, spotless salon and wonderful manicures read more

Beautiful decor, which nail salons often don't have, super clean and polite staff. Unfortunately, I did not like my pedicure at all. It was $42, which is $12 more than I normally pay at my usual place, which is not even 10 minutes away and this was a far inferior pedicure. This salon is closer to home and was more convenient on this particular day and looked so pretty inside. The pedicure was so mediocre and disappointing. I realized after I left that she never even used the pumice stone or anything else on the bottom of my feet and they weren't any softer than before the pedicure. Very minimal cuticle removal and massage. All in all, not impressed and won't be returning. read more

I have always had excellent service. They are friendly, efficient and caring. I also love going here, because it is very clean and a peaceful environment to be in. Thank You! read more

Went in a few weeks ago for a manicure, everyone was very friendly and helpful! I was also given great advice on which color to select for my skin tone and loved it! It stayed on for longer than most shellac does on my nails. Love this place and will be coming back! read more

I live in Chicago, however I travel to Madison every week for work. I went to Nails 4 U earlier this week, and they did a fabulous job on my mani/pedi! I got Shellac for my mani and regular polish for my pedi - all for $60. Prior to coming to this salon, I called a few other places in Madison and the prices were just ridiculous ($80+). It's well priced, the staff was friendly, the salon was clean, and it's conveniently located. I scheduled an appointment the day of and they were able to fit me in that same evening. It's not a fancy spa or anything, but if you're just looking for a good mani/pedi in a clean place that's reasonably priced, I would defintely recommend! I will be coming back!! read more

Everyone at this salon is extraordinarily welcoming. The place is clean and comfortable; service is personalized. I came once a few years ago and continue to come back regularly because of how friendly and reliably good the service is. I have never left with a bleeding cuticle here (which happens to me at almost every other nail salon I go to!) If you're looking for honey scrubs/rose petal baths/lots of unusual extras this isn't the place. But if you're headed somewhere nice and need your nails to look excellent, this is the place to stop by. Call ahead: they can often accommodate same day appts but walk-ins can be harder. Bonus tip: Cecilia is great at helping select colors if needed. read more

Nails 4 U has for long been my mom's go-to place for nails in Madison. The owner is the most friendly woman who even remembers details about my life, even though I only stop in once a year or so when I am in town visiting my parents. They truly know how to make you feel like a valued costumer. Beyond excellent customer service, Nails 4 U offers great manicures and pedicures at a reasonable price and they also provide excellent shellac manicures and pedicures with CND products, which I have found stay on without chipping for up to three weeks. Lastly, I would recommend making an appointment. They do take walk-ins but have many regular customers and only two people working at a time. That being said, you can often get same-day appointments or an appointment the next day. read more

I have been coming here for several months now and I really like this place. You do have to make an appointment, but if you call they can often get you in the same day. They actually care about their customers and are nice to you. Right now they are in a temporary location, so don't be intimidated by the maze of dark hallways you have to take to get there. They will be in their brand new building. I like the CND polish, it lasts a lot longer than OPI or others I've tried. I haven't gotten a shellac from them yet, because my cuticles are all gross and I need to come in weekly. Anyways, I do plan on getting a shellac because they use natural products and they don't file/ruin your nails when they put it on. They told me that a lot of places call their gels shellac, and they will totally ruin your nails. Also if you aren't satisfied with the shape or anything they are doing, just speak up, especially the first time you go they don't know your preferences yet. After that they will remember exactly what you want. read more

By far the best nail salon in the Madison area. My mom and I have gotten shellac manicures done here twice and have a third appointment scheduled in the books! We've never left disappointed. Everything from the attention to detail and non-toxic nail polish, to the inviting ambience and staff, there aren't enough positive things to say about this salon. read more

I love Nails 4 U because the artists are wonderful people and they do a really fantastic job. I was a walk-in on a busy day, but they were still welcoming and gave us great gel manicures. They also offered great nail and hand care advice. Something about their shellac was easier on my nails. It was easier to pick off (because I'm terrible and do that), but it did not leave the same devastation that I'm used to. I will return- next time with an appointment. read more

Can't say enough about this salon! Every tech is so skilled, kind, and complementary. Each time I've been here, I've been made to feel appreciated and valued. They are also very efficient which is helpful when you're in a hurry. Fabulous shellac product that stayed strong for 3+ weeks! Kind to cuticles as well - not too much trimming. Highly recommend. read more

Wonderful surprise to find this place! Clean atmosphere, chic employees and an amazing pedicure!!

I love here surroundings and beautiful little things. The service here is wonderful and also there are many choices provided here. read more

Nails 4 U - nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Pricey, but definitely worth every penny. I went to Nails 4 U near Hilldale Mall on a Monday night with no appointment around 4:45pm. At first I was told that they wouldn't be able to take me until 5:15pm, which was still ok! Luckily two other employees came in and I got to get right in the pedicure chair. I even had my feet getting worked on at the same time as my hands. I'm indecisive with polish colors and both of the ladies were helpful and patient with me. I would definitely recommend nails 4 U. read more

Update as now I've been a regular for over a year. I started getting regular shellac manicures at Nails 4 U leading up to my wedding, and I love Nails 4 U so much I am addicted and can't quit a year after the actual event! I justify the expense because the manicure lasts 3 weeks. I love the new salon spot, it is so nice, clean, airy! I would highly recommend Nails 4 U, although remember it's appointment only and they book up well in advance! read more

Nail technicians are very nice and the facility is comfortable. However, their technicians do not use gloves for the manicures and don't soak your hands beforehand. I woke up the next day with acute paronychia (infection of the nail bed) in multiple fingers! Will not be returning. read more

This is by far the most professional, spotless, and sunny nail salon that I have ever experienced, either here or in New York. The shop sparkles and has a warm ambiance​​. The care and precision that all of the technicians use are exceptional. Previous to this, shellac nails used to leave my nails paper-thin. Now I don't have that happen. Everyone, clients and staff alike, are friendly to the clientele​ and quiet laughter is heard throughout​ the salon. In my long experience,​ this is a product of the owner/manager's style, revealing a high morale among her workers. Cecilia speaks respectfully​ and clearly to her staff. Evidence of effective training is apparent. I love my visits to Nails4u! read more

I went here today for the first time and was so happy with my experience! I had been to another salon nearby less than a week and a half ago and was super dissatisfied with the quality and staying power of my mani/pedi so was super relieved when I called and was able to get in for an appointment almost immediately. She did an all around amazing job and there was so much more attention to detail than I have seen at other salons. My nails look great and the entire experience was wonderful. The salon itself is comfortable, new, and tastefully decorated, and everyone working is super personable and nice to be around .... I will definitely be back! read more

Nails 4 U - Nail Salons Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Brought my friend here and she raved about the experience and atmosphere and great customer service.

Hands down the best nail salon in Madison! All of their equipment it's properly cleaned or new. The friendly ladies that work there remember your name and best of all they are by appointment only, meaning they are never rushed and always do an amazing job. They also only have top quality polish that never a chips, but still soaks off in minutes with no damage. They also have great prices. This is easily the best place to get your nails done in Madison, and trust me I've tried everywhere else! read more

I was in town with my daughter & needed to kill some time while she did a UW camp. I called ahead & lucked out with a cancellation. The salon is clean & relaxing. I had a wonderful pedicure from Shirley. The highlight was her attentive long massage of lower legs and feet. Shirley was so pleasant & appropriately chatty. I learned that the lovely young lady who answered the phone & initially greeted me was her daughter. All the ladies here were so sweet. I am excited that I found such a great salon. I will be back with my Badger daughter! read more

Cecilia and team are true professionals in their work. From learning the latest techniques to basic hospitality, the experience is second to none. read more

I came here for a pedicure and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the salon is. Super clean and modern. The staff is great and their color choices are fabulous. It was a great pedicure. Currently I have acrylics which they don't do otherwise I'd come here for all my nail needs. If you have just shellac or need just a manicure this is the place to go. read more

They do beautiful, detailed work. Nice relaxing salon environment. Very, very clean. I just had a shellac mani/pedi. They're often booked with regulars because they're that good. So it's best to set up an appointment in advance. read more

Went here for a pedicure for my birthday. Great experience. Would definitely go back.

Ok! The new place is beautiful and as always everyone is doing a great job!!! Love my Nails 4 U!!! read more

Nails 4 U - Nails 4 U- new, hot boutique place! - Nail Salons Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

While traveling for work I stopped by to get my manicure redone. Their service is amazing and my nails look fabulous. If I lived here I would definitely be a regular. I plan on coming back the next time I'm in town! read more

My friend took me along on her appointment here yesterday and we both got shellac manis and regular pedis. I am so glad she brought me here-- by far the best experience I've had at a nail salon in Madison! Mishim did an amazing, detailed job from start to finish; she was outstandingly knowledgeable and full of tips-- pun intended :) Everyone working at the salon was friendly and focused. The place was ultra clean and the products were high quality- right down to the organic lotion they use at the end that smelled heavenly. I don't know if it's because my friend's a regular or what, but there was just such a welcoming and professional vibe there. We both left feeling relaxed and pampered. I will be back. read more

I just went to Nails 4 U today for the first time. I was late due to traffic, but they still managed to squeeze me in for my mani and pedi - and they both turned out GREAT! Their newly re-done space is beautiful, but the best part were the employees - each person that worked there went out of their way to say "hi" and ask how my experience was and they didn't give me any trouble for being late (I felt SO bad!!!). After multiple mediocre experiences at other nail salons in Madison over the years, I have found my new place.....and I promise I won't ever be late again! Awesome experience at Nails 4 U!!!! read more

I was in town for work. I called on a Friday an hour before I was looking to come in and these ladies made it happen! They squeezed me in with little notice. They got me in & out for a mani/pedi in an hour as I had to head back out of town. It wasn't the most thorough mani/pedi, but what can I ask for last minute! I also chatted with the employees and some of the ladies in the salon and everyone was super friendly! read more

I tried this salon at the recommendation of a friend, and I am so glad I did! I had a great experience getting my shellac mani: the stylist was professional and friendly, and even helped me pick a polish color to best suit my needs. My nails have always seemed prone to chipping, so I am astounded at how well this shellac has held up! 15 days later, and not a single sign of my nails chipping or peeling. Thank you so much! read more
