I had a terrible experience here, I came in for a two week fill (I had acrylic overlay over my natural nails) and the woman doing my nails snipped them all off before I could say anything about it, then told me I needed a removal (not by my request). She then removed the rest of the acrylic, added tips, acrylic, and did the design I requested (a square shape nail with rounded edges). When I went to pay she states that I owed $100 because she did a removal, full set, acrylic, and an ombré French tip with a white chrome..... mind you I only came in for a two week fill which the same woman had done.... I will never be coming back to this salon. View photo to see my one snaggletooth nail. read more

Number 1 Nail - Full set acrylic plus rhinestone 80+20 dollar tip - Nail Salons Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I've been going here pretty exclusively for my nails over the last few years, usually I am pretty happy with the finished result, and I would have no issues with lifting for at least 3 weeks after getting them. Unfortunately 2 weeks ago I left feeling pretty bummed about the final product. My nails were uneven in length, some were crooked, I had acrylic overlapping my skin, the polish lines were spotty, and they started lifting after only a week. Washing my hair was a pain because hair would snag and get stuck under the nails, not to mention everything else that got stuck under them . I ended up going elsewhere to have them fixed and filled. read more

My experience here was very bad . The nails they use didn't hold up very well do to bad placement and the were rushing the process . The nails were only glued to the nail beds which didn't hold up well and gave press on . I usually never get my feet done but I did and end up getting foot fungus do to poor care . The Name "Number 1 nail" should be handed to an more professional establishment in my opinion. The place was clean but the MY EXPERIENCE WAS HORRIBLE!! Would not recommend. read more

This is the best nail salon I've been to. The wait is long sometimes but what can you do, everyone wants their nails done. Great staff that knows that their doing as well. Just be patient please, I've seen some people get angry even at their fellow customers about who is next. read more

I didn't want to do this but I have to because my first experience was bad and also my second experience was worse. When they have customers that are paying customers they should always keep in mind that just because we are customers we are people too that have jobs/career's too!! We'll I speak and understand three languages and I understand everything that was said about me!! I was dressed completely comfortable with my sweat outfit on and my crocs and she said in her language that I look poor and why did I leave my home dressed like this and this was said when she was almost done with my nails. I don't know her name but she walks around like she is the manager! read more

Fabulous pedicure by Tony. Got a Deluxe with Shellac. The leg massage was out of this world. Very clean and got in quickly for a Thursday afternoon. Will absolutely be back! read more

I've gone here twice both times for pedicures they are always open with no wait. Nice over the phone. The first time I had great service and nails that lasted a month from a older guy who was very nice and outgoing. Did a great job the entire time. I went a few days ago for another and I got a younger guy who didn't say anything a looked mad. He barley massaged my feet and didn't use any sea scrub which I paid extra for and the lady next to me getting the same pedicure from the nice guy the first time got everything with excellent service. I was disappointed. I paid $45 for the Cadillac pedicure and was displeased still tipped him $15 and he didn't even say thank you... read more

Came on a Monday! I believe you always get the best service when it's more calm and slow better than coming on weekends had a great experience had my nails fixed, and my feet done. Professional and clean. read more

I never had a manicure before. The gentleman who did my manicure was professional and all the instruments where sanitized and everything was very clean. Only con was the listed prices on their website is not the prices that is posted in the store. I enjoyed my experience at Number 1 nail. I will be going back. read more

This is the best nail salon here in anchorage Alaska. I recommend going to this salon before any other salon here. The staff is super friends and never fails to amaze me with their work.

New workers trying price gurge customers...Not good... Dont go thete. Need better customer service.

Hands down the BEST place in anchorage to get your nails done. I've been to all the "best" rated nail salons and I've had my gel nails falling off within a week, not what I want when I'm being charged extra because of the name of the salon ($90 for a set of gel nails shouldn't be falling off or peeling back..) Anyways, I feel like Violet is the hidden gem of nail techs in anchorage she is AMAZING and makes sure you love your nails. I've been seeing her since September 2018 and only had a nail break due to my own clumsy self and she had no problem fixing it without charge. But make sure you make an appointment with her!!! Great nail techs book up quick Btw the pedicures are wonderful too! They have some unique options and give WONDERFUL foot massages read more

The people there were really nice but the gel polish they put on was uneven and started to chip off after 3 days. I've never had this issue in the past, I wouldn't recommend this salon, it's a waste of money. read more

This is one of the best nail salons in anchorage great service and it's worth the wait if you have to wait. Employees are nice and they take their time with each customer. read more

customer service was not great. Never really spoke to me, they had an attitude when I was giving my opinion. my nails ended up not being what I wanted at all. It did not look like the photo I recommend. my shape is off they did not my line sticker is crooked and my nails are coated thick. please rethink coming here. if u want something just there or fast then go here. if not then go somewhere and pay extra. read more

Lazy nail techs....I was only with the pedicure I got at first except for the color not being opaque at all. So when I went back to get it fixed they told me it was a neon and couldn't be, but they could change the color for $15 so I said fine paid it, but he was obviously he cut me in multiple places with the drill and painted very very lazy. Will not be coming here ever again. read more

My favorite nail shop by far! They're like my home away from home, everyone always remembers me and they work so good together!! Not to mention they slay my nails and toes everytime! I never have a complaint. Perfect shape, size, even color all of it! 100000/10 read more

READ THIS REVIEW!!! I have just recently moved to the Anchorage area, and the disrespect from this Salon is outrageous! I have been getting my nails done for over 15 years, and sure, there is a language barrier, but do not automatically think your customers do not understand what you are saying! I do understand that there is a language barrier and possibly a cultural difference, but speaking poorly or making fun of your clients is not appropriate! When you open up an establishment, you are providing a service to your community to enjoy! If you wish to make fun, poke at, talk poorly about and laugh around amongst yourselves about how stupid your clients are, then shut down your business! Women visit nail salons to relax, not to be attacked!!! This is not fair, it's the most disrespectful thing that can happen in nail salons, and unfortunately your salon partakes in bullying! We are human and we all have different opinions and some of us are liked and some of us are not, but blatantly acting in such manner in front your client is beyond unethical in business! If the owner of this nail salon allows this treatment to it's clients, then shame on you!!! Not many businesses fail my reviews, but you have my friend, here's to hoping you may learn from this review and begin offering a peaceful place for ALL to enjoy!!! Sincerly, Your Professional Review Partner read more

The lady who did my lashes was very quick with it and she didn't give me the brush to brush it out and after she didn't tell me anything about how to care for it or anything she just wanted to start it fast and finish it. Before you get lash extension from here, they don't do individual lashes to each of the hairs on your eyelashes but they glue it on top of your eyelid (like falsies but with some permanent glue). Results are nice but the hairs felt so plastic but they did last me for a little over 2 weeks now. I also suggest once they start to come out, get it professionally taken out because a lot of my eyelashes were ripped out when I tried to fix them. The last of my eyelash extension is holding on for dear life lol. read more

I have been to three nail salons before Number 1 Nail and they were all horrible (including Natural Nail on Tudor.) Number 1 Nail is amazing! Great customer service, beautiful and clean environment and most important, the nail work is great! After 2 weeks they're still on tight, polish is great and all the stones that were put on, is still in place. This is my salon going forward! Glad I found it! read more

Love coming here to get my nails done! They always do an amazing job and everyone is super friendly, also get my eyebrows waxed here all the time. Highly recommended this place! read more

By far the worst nail salon I've been to, the man who was giving me a pedicure cut open both of my toes and they got infected for over a month. I do not recommend going to the nail salon, also WORST customer service as well. read more

Poor customer service simply I called as soon as they open to schedule an appointment for noon I got there 15 minutes early and waited for noon and then noon pass she helps to other people and then told me I had to wait for her to finish helping a walk-in client when she knowingly knows I schedule an appointment I waited for 30 minutes before she even said that she needed to finish a client no one told me anything and just let me sit there knowing that I had an appointment scheduled I do not recommend this place to anyone do you wanna go get cheap lash extensions or your nails done rinky-dink you can just hit up a local artist because if they do the same amount of work read more

the lash technician does not know how to do lashes or eyebrows and she messed up on my nails, i have cuts on my nails cause of how rough she was and most of my nails are crooked . i recommend not going there. read more

1st time I came to this nail place my daughter and I we got our pedicures and a full set of nails. Our pedicure came out nice the guys that did them were really nice. When it was time for our nails we got them done with the girl that sits by the window in the second row. My daughter got her nails done 1st. I thought they were kinda long then it was my turned I told the girl I wanted my nails a little smaller then my daughters I wanted the ones that cost $30 she smirk and said same size of your nails so I just stayed quit didn't want to be rude. The girl seem like she was in a hurry maybe tired not my fault but ok. When it was time to pay she had charge me the same as my daughter nails even do my nails where smaller. I didn't want to argue so I payed. I should of learned my lesson. So then I came back again this time I got my nails done by Violet I got a fill and gel color everything was good. They charge me for a fill and gel color. On the 4th time of coming everything changed. I got a fill and I told Violet I had my own nail polish. Before she painted my nails she told me she had the same color in gel. I told her no gel I wanted my nails painted with my own color I had just got it and it was a grey glittery. She painted my nails and she told me they look matt and I said yes they do. The color did look kinda matt not glossy. Then she tells me to go sit on the purple light by the door. She comes over and puts this kinda clear polish it made my nails super matt they where not glittery anymore. My nails look plain silver not what I wanted. So again didn't say anything didn't want to be rude. When I was going to pay they charge me $20 for my fill $5 to remove the gel and $5 for a matt finish that I didn't ask for. I don't understand they never charge me to remove my gel color how was she going to do my fill without removing it I would think it's in the fill price. It's not like I had them remove it for another color. Lesson learn never go there again and always ask in advance how much for everything before they start with my nails :( read more

Arrived at 1:27pm was told that the wait would be 35 minutes so I put my name on the wait list. It is now 2:35pm and still didn't get services. My 2 sons and husband were all able to get haircuts at Good Friends Barbershop within this time. Horrible customer service. I will not recommend to anyone. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I heard a lot of people talking about it, people at my work, tellers at the bank, and I had been looking for a new nail salon. I love the fact that they are open until 9 pm most weekdays, they are consistent, reliable, wonderful customer service, and honestly everything else. I know they see hundreds of people but every.single.time I go I feel like I am special and they value my business. My main, wonderful, lady is Lynn. She's so funny and kind, she does wonderful nails, and I appreciate her. Tony is also so great for everything, or Terri, honestly everyone. You won't regret it! read more

I recommend this business. There are not many nail salons in Anchorage that I walk out of completely satisfied the way I did when my nails were done here. The employees are friendly and they know their profession. There is a wide variety of nail options with endless color choices and waxing is also an option here. My appointment was longer than usual, but it was clear to me he just wanted the job done well, and well it was. I recommend and I will be coming back. read more

I could not understand most of what she said talking through mask with a tissue. In application of fake nail, she made my nails bleed both times. Most important, this is only my second experience with fakes and they offered me an up charge for something better, I didn't catch the name. I paid for it and after research on process it seems they gave me standard acrylics!!! The hour of my first application she said like two things to me and was yelling across the "salon" to her family watching the football game on the big screen. I gave them a second chance but there won't be a third. read more

Came in with a friend and for some reason they separated us and the other two woman that came together. They also had an awful attitude and ground the hell out of my cuticles. I had little cuts all over. I left as soon as I could and never plan on going back. read more

This is by far the best nail salon in Anchorage! I've tried other salons and I always leave disappointed. I go back to Number 1 Nail and they always fix other salons' mistakes. Their attention to detail is unparalleled!!! They also do a great job waxing and it doesn't burn or itch afterwards. They just added eyelash extensions and a couple new nail trends, which I'm excited to try out in a few weeks! Their salon is always clean, comfortable and kid friendly! read more
