I had heard good things about this place from fellow Penn State students and decided to give it a try. There was a sign outside the shop advertising dip powder for $35, so I went with that instead of gel. When it came time to pay, my tech said "okay, 50 dollars." I pointed out the sign that read $35 for dip powder, and she kept insisting that because it was my "real nails", she had to charge me more. Eventually she agreed on $40, but not before making a snarky comment about how "I told you it was 50 before I did it, but okay." (She didn't, btw.) The dip itself is also way too thick and artificial looking for my taste. Will not be back. read more

Lady had an attitude, did a terrible job and wouldn't give me ones for her tip, therefore I had to leave a $5 tip for the worst job I've ever had. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Well, I should have listened to my gut when the UV sanitizer was not being used (it was turned off and being used as storage) and it was clear that their utensils were not being cleaned between uses. I now have no toenail thanks to a toenail fungus that showed up a week or maybe two after. I've never ever had one before and giving the timing and conditions, I'm pretty sure that's where. The ladies were very good but I won't go again until it looks cleaned up in there. read more

I've been here twice, both for gel manicures. The first manicure was OK, not really great, but not bad either. The woman was a little rough when trimming my cuticles, but otherwise it was fine. The second time I was here it was definitely not good. The manicurist buffered my nails really aggressively (or whatever the spinning nail file thing is), which was uncomfortable. Then I got jabbed a couple of times while trimming around my nails. The nails were also shaped differently-- my one thumb had a flat top, one of my pointer fingers I think they tried to do the same thing, but the top was crooked, and the other nails were filed to be round. Finally, the color was applied really unevenly. After I left, I realized there was this big glob that ran to the one side of my nail, and trying to trim that down took off a big chunk of the color. Even though the first manicure was more or less fine, on balance I'm not happy with the results here so won't be returning. read more

The man who did my nails did the absolute worst job possible. He didn't cut them down or trim off the old acrylic or anything. He just laid down more acrylic, did a god awful file job, then painted my ugly nails with two coats of top coat forcing them to be bubbly. I got them done exactly one week ago today and one broke already. Would not recommend. Just your typical mall nail salon that charges too much and doesn't actually care how you're nails come out. read more

Sucks. Lied, they told me they had "sns" dipping powder. They don't. Not many good reviews.

This is the worst place to do your nails!!! I've been there twice and this chick that worked there literally ripped my cuticles out so my fingers were like bleeding so much read more

I am also surprised that this place has such bad reviews. I have been getting my nails done here for the last two years, and have never had a bad experience. The staff is always very friendly, and accommodating if I'm short on time. I have been to the nail place inside Walmart but they did a sloppy job. To give them credit I'm sure it depends on who you get and what kind of day they are having, but I have never been back. Honestly, Nittany is my favorite nail place in town. read more

I know acrylic takes a while but it took me 1.5 hours to do it!! Also, they aren't careful, my one finger started to bleed a little!! When you get nail polish they kinda rush you!! From a close distance my nails don't look great! I definitely know I'm not going there again! I went one time before to them and they were all right but.......! I don't recommend!! read more

The staff is pushy, their selection of polish leaves a lot to be desired and get this: I wear my gel nails long and no matter which tech I get I feel like my they badger me into getting my nails filed down. Don't spend your time or money here, go to Regal Nails at the Walmart on Benner Pike instead you'll thank me for it. read more

I have been going there for several years now and always get a great set of acrylics from Brandi. DEFINITELY call to book with her, she knows all the latest styles and will work with you to make sure you leave happy. Call and make an appointment though cause her book fills up fast! read more

I never get my nails done so this was suppose to a nice relaxing treat. The polish selection is sub par. We didn't get lost in the "wait" list they were not paying attention too. However a family of regulars who acted like they owed the place came in and so our pedicures were completely rushed and it was barely a service. Then we got sat at the drying bar waiting for our manicure as the regulars all got worked on, completely forgotten. We were here for 2+ hours for a simple polish! Not worth the money. Poor service. Clearly not concerned with providing a nice service and obtaining new customers. read more

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews.... I've been here multiple times and the service is great. People are friendly, informed and the price isn't bad either. Definitely one of the better nail salons in town! read more

This place absolutely sucks. My first and last time to this over priced establishment. I asked the lady to style my nails to my liking she did a horrible job and I had asked if she could re do them over because I was not going to pay for them she proceeds to tell me to come back tomorrow. At this point I am infuriated .. she then begins to redo my full set but this time she says to me she will put on my acrylic but I will have to style my owns nails .. so now I'm confused because I'm thinking am I paying for these nails I'm practically doing myself ? Thankfully another women intervened and my nails came out some what they way I had requested for them to be. Yet an hour later when I arrived home my nail broke off! The next day I returned so she could re do it.. mind you she is telling me it's my fault my nail broke due to the way I asked for my nails to be filed. IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD COFFIN SHAPED NAILS.. they just suck so not go there .. the nail salon in the Walmart on N. Atherton is so much more reliable! read more

I have been going to Nittany Nails since the Spa opened several years ago. The current owner is the 3rd one since the opening. I have NEVER been disappointed!. I was just there today for a pedicure. Brandi was my tech. She is awesome!. She does not rush, she focuses on doing a nice job. My feet are 60 yrs old and far from being attractive, but they felt so good when I left and I'm not ashamed to wear sandals. My feet look great! I see Lisa for "pink and white's every 4 wks. She does a fantastic job! She is never rushed and always does what I request..she has made suggestions, but always does what I request. Her daughter, Mia, the owner has done my nails in the past. She does a great job as well. They really aim to please the customer. I have been to other spa's that charge less, but you get what you pay for. I went to another spa for 15 yrs prior to the opening of Nittany nails. They were always so busy; you had to wait, then one tech removed by polish, then another one stepped up and filed my nails, then another applied the acrylic, then another finalized everything. I like having one tech from start to finish, and one that knows and understands me. Consistency is a BIG part of good customer service. I LOVE NITTANY NAILS! I HOPE THEY NEVER LEAVE!
