Absolute favorite nail salon in Milwaukee. Clean, fast, professional, no nonsense pedicure!

Fingernails

Our family stopped in for last minute nails before a concert and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Attentive and professional service in a laid back calming atmosphere. Did great on my wife's nails as well as our 5 and 8 year old daughters. Definitely deserve all the Nextdoor awards they have posted on their door!!

This is the dirtiest nail salon I have ever been to. I didn't feel confident in their sanitization of the tools they used. It appeared they used many of the same ones on the last customer. In fact, they definitely reused the files. That is a health hazard. And gross. When I brought it up the man doing my service couldn't understand me. A woman brought a package with a nipper in it but he never opened it. So I opted out of everything but pushing back cuticles and polish. Which was very disappointing. I would not use this place ever again. The chair I was in was old and not in good shape and the water was cold. My daughter (age 11) also said it was freezing. The good things were the large polish selection, cost and the walk in service. But even the polish rack was filthy.

Came in for a pedicure via an appointment and they made me wait 40 mins before my nails got started with. What's the point of an appointment if you can't honor it. I specifically wanted to avoid the crowd due to pandemic conditions and asked for a time when I could go for the treatment right away but this was an unfortunate turn of events. I really debated if I should give them 2-3 stars despite the wait issue but the service itself was awful for the $30 they charge and super rushed. This was the quickest pedicure of my life.. they finished it in 10-15 mins super rushed. I also heard several other people after me saying they have appointments and all had to wait a good 20 mins or more before they could get a seat. I don't recommend this place at all. If you want a last moment treatment and don't have reservations anywhere perhaps can walk in here because there is literally no difference between calling them and doing an appointment VS a walk in. Never coming back.

I went in for a gel full set. Instead of a gel set, the nail tech used acrylic and no chip polish. My total was $70, so I'm not sure if I paid for the gel set and got acrylic, or actually paid for what I got. I wish the nail tech would have told me that she wasn't able to do the design I had wanted, so I could have picked something different. She couldn't draw the outline of the flames, so she stuck silver stickers to my nails and then painted gold over them. You can clearly see the stickers, where they end, and that the gold nail polish looks very sloppy. When I got into the car, I also noticed that a few of my nails are very badly shaped. The worst is pictured in this review.

LOVE this nail salon. I moved to Milwaukee a year ago and this is the best hidden gem. I was really missing my nail salon in Chicago at first. I tried a few salons until I finally found North Shore. Andy is my go to. I honestly love him. He is the best of the best. Way better than my nail place in Chicago. I am also super clumsy and have broken my nails doing dumb things, he fixes them at any time without question. I have started bringing friends and family here and everyone loves it. It's super affordable and they do a perfect job. If you are looking for a new nail place, look no further. I am so thankful for Andy and for North Shore Nails! I will never go anywhere else.

The last design Kayla hand painted!

I moved to Milwaukee from Orange County, Ca and was in dire need of a polish change for an event I needed to go. I found North Shore Nails when there was a scheduling mix up at another salon and my appointment was cancelled. Kayla (the salon owner) was able to get me right in and even stayed a little late to make sure my nails were perfect! I've been going to her ever since. Her creativity and attention to detail are second to none. No design I have ever suggested is too much. Everyone at North Shore Nails is always welcoming, the salon is super clean, they have every color you could possibly want and are always able to accommodate last second appointments. I promise you will love it if you go!

The workers were really nice but i am extremely unsatisfied with my nails. they are bad quality and don't  look anything like i wanted.

the workers were really nice but the nails are terrible quality and they cost $80! the acrylic is thick, the color is off and the lines are not well done. the red polish isn't filled in on the french tips either. Not worth my money and want a refund.

The salon itself looks beautiful -- very clean, neat, and well put together. However, my experience with the service was disappointing. When I walked in, the receptionist (Naomi) did not greet me. She saw me and walked away from the front desk -- I'm not sure if she realized I was there or not, but I ended up standing there for about 10 minutes. When she returned, she simply asked for my name and told me to wash my hands and pick a color. There was no "good morning" or welcoming attitude, and she seemed uninterested and disengaged. Even after I chose my color, she stayed on her phone while I waited to be seated. Once I was seated, Throughout my pedicure, several staff members were speaking loudly among themselves In spanish, which made the environment feel less relaxing and more unprofessional. What made the experience especially upsetting was that the technician working on me made comments about my feet smelling and about my legs being fat In Spanish to another technician, They both laughed, and mind you I could Understand it.. which I found extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. I was honestly shocked and didn't know how to respond in the moment. Overall, while the salon looks great, the customer service and professionalism I experienced were not acceptable. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as no customer should feel uncomfortable or disrespected during their visit.

Outstanding Experience - Highly Recommend! I recently…read morevisited MKE Nails for a men's manicure, pedicure, and hand massage, and I was extremely impressed and thoroughly satisfied with the entire experience. From the moment you walk into their location on Farwell Ave, the space feels incredibly fresh, modern, and spotlessly clean. The setup for pedicures is top-tier, featuring comfortable, high-end massage chairs and beautiful, iridescent bowls that add a really nice, clean touch to the environment. The staff was welcoming and attentive right from the start, even offering complimentary drinks like soda and water to keep you comfortable throughout the service. The manicure and pedicure were detailed and meticulous, and the hand massage was excellent--the perfect way to unwind. It's clear they take pride in their work and their brand-new, beautiful space. Whether you are looking for a routine cleanup or a full pampering session, this spot delivers. I'll definitely be back! Pros: * Clean, modern, and comfortable aesthetic * Complementary beverages (soda/water) * Excellent men's grooming services * Friendly, professional staff A few details you can optionally check or toggle before posting: * Discounts: If you happen to be a student or a teacher, you can mention the 10% discount they advertise on their chalkboard sign for waxing/services. * Location context: Mentioning it's right on N. Farwell Ave (next to Skilos) is always helpful for local reviewers looking for a great East Side spot!

You can find NuLa nestled in off the main busy strip of North Water, which is a perfect little hideaway for this nail studio. We walked in and were ushered in immediately to sit down and relax! Kara is one fun young lady. Her spunky attitude and knack for humor with a bit of sarcasm made this visit a treat. She is really a hoot to be around! Between the humor and the hot towels plus the relaxing atmosphere, it was a great way to start our vacation. We had top-notch service and enjoyed the experience overall. We reserved the entire studio so my wife and I could get the royal treatment. Gentle massages and hot water on the feet and lots of wonderful oils and lotions to make the hands and feet feel wonderful Overall, nothing to complain about because we left the studio feeling like a million bucks! I also think NuLa's pricing is very reasonable in comparison to other studios. Such a cool spot to be in just before heading to vacation!

I generally just opt for a 'polish change' or 'polish only' instead of getting an entire manicure. I find the result to be the exact same and it's of course cheaper that way. All of the techs I've had do a great, clean job with nail painting. Never had a result I didn't like! Most recently came in for a dark polish on my finger nails and she did a wonderful job in 15 minutes. The salon itself is always clean, but it's certainly outdated. Could maybe use a little upgrade in that way, and maybe a little lower on the intense overhead lighting- just mini suggestions on making it a little more spa-esque. It's tucked into a little shopping strip off of Santa Monica, so it could be very easy to miss. Give this local spot on your next mission to get a mani/pedi!

I was sat in a chair that didn't have a working massager; that was disappointing. Then, the tubs for the pedicures were not working. Mine trickled cold water and I sat there for about 10 minutes before a tech was freed up. When I told her the water was freezing she had to fill up a bowl and get water from a sink. Not the end of the world but it made for the right temp to be reached. The whole process seemed rushed and the massages were mediocre at best. All fine since also, the pedicure was $35 when I'm used to paying $45-50. The nail tech herself was friendly and she did a nice job on my toes.
