This is by far the best manicure and pedicure I've ever had. In the future I won't go anyplace else. Pauline is great and I like the privacy of being the only customer there. I cannot recommend Pauline highly enough. read more

Had a men's manicure and pedicure. Pauline is great. She is a true professional and has an environment that makes you feel comfortable. As a man getting these services, going to a traditional salon can be uncomfortable. This is a private suite where you feel comfortable. She has a television so you can watch whatever you want. I was able to watch sports and have good conversations with Pauline while she took care of my hands and feet. Highly recommend. read more

Pauline was very polite, engaged, generous and sincere when I inquired about how things work, services, reasonable expectations regarding encouraging my wife to visit and see her for a pedicure. Reality, her care and experience was excellent, exceeded expectations. Thank you. read more

OMG! Pauline is fabulous! After reading reviews here on Yelp I decided to make an appointment with Pauline for a mani/pedi. I'm SO happy I did. Her studio is super cute and very clean. Pauline herself is super nice too. She is rocking it! I got the best pedicure and my hands look phenomenal! If you're really looking to relax and get a great mani/pedi Pauline is your girl! You won't be disappointed! read more

Wow I was shocked with the quality of my nails after my appointment with Pauline! She took the time to get to know my nails and pick the polish suited best for me, as well as taking the time to get to know me. Pauline is kind and is an amazing positive person. She even waited for me to make it to my car safely. My nails have never looked better for the price I payed! I payed 40 dollars for my previous gel nails to be removed and for her to carefully shape and polish my nails to perfection. After I was done she gave me samples as well as a cuticle oil to apply in my car. I have been to many places that charge me well over 40 dollars and my nails have never looked nearly as good as they do now! If you are looking for a kind woman to take the time and care for your hands, come here! You won't be disappointed! After such a great experience I'm definitely coming back! read more

Pauline does an amazing job here, too! My nails lasted three weeks with the gel. Not one issue. Pauline is simply the best! read more

Very good mani pedi! I haven't gotten my nails done professionally in over a year and I've been in dire need of a "treat me" nail appointment. Pauline was very sweet and took care of my needs as well as putting on some tv we could both enjoy and talk about. It was a one-on-one service that I would be happy to recommend to anyone that likes to sit back and enjoy the service! She takes her time and works with you so it's not painful at all when she works your cuticles or any of that. Thanks Pauline for taking care of my nails today! read more

Phalanges Manicure Studio - French manicure and pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Disappointed! !!! I paid over $ 81.00 for a service that didn't last 24 hours. And it was supposed to be a deluxe pedicure. It was a little deceiving once I arrived, there was no spa chair and just a basic foot spa ( resembled something that you would have at home). It took her 3 hours and I was her only client. I was advised to wait 24 hrs to wear shoes, after that time the polish still smeared. Initially, Pauline seemed sincere and professional. However, when I called twice to get the issue resolved she never responded. Great lesson, never believe 5 star reviews, you have to experience it for yourself!! read more

First of all, I want to say that Pauline is a wonderful person. Yes, she is flexible, thorough, positive, sweet, kind, generous, intelligent... I could go on. But she really is just a supremely caring person. Who else has a manicurist that texts you asking if you made it home safely?! Her genuine people-first approach is hard to find these days. When she reaches out to me, it never has anything to do with making a sale or anything like that, it's usually to make sure I made it home safely or to send me something I asked her to send me! Secondly, she is a phenomenal manicurist. She takes her time to make sure that she understands what you want and that she's getting in front of anything that could cause an issue down the line. She always cleans up my edges of my nails and cuticles prior to putting them in the UV light to cure. The only time I've had gel lift, is because I stupidly used a Magic Eraser without gloves and it messed up 3 of my nails. This was about 2.5-3 weeks into the manicure, by the way, and even then I was able to text her and get her to fix the three nails right away before I left for out of town. I'm about to go to the follow up of that manicure, and I'll attach a picture of how incredible my nails STILL look FIVE weeks later!!! Thirdly, there are a few things you should know to decide if Pauline is right for you. 1. Pauline loves communicating, and she is so good at accepting feedback - so speak up if you have concerns or expectations, trust me she will go out of her way to accommodate you. 2. She is THOROUGH! In your first 2 appointments, expect your appointment to go a bit longer than your average nail appointment. She isn't someone who speaks little English and is just trying to get you in and out the door. Pauline is great for people who enjoy the experience of having a relationship with their manicurist and who value communicating what they want. As she gets to know you and your style, your appointments will go faster (though sometimes we just chat a long time anyway, haha). 3. The last thing you should know is that Pauline works with natural nails and doesn't do enhancements. She does a fabulous job with gel and regular polish. She puts a lot of emphasis on maintaining the integrity of your natural nail and has never drilled or buffed layers of my nails off. In conclusion, I've never had healthier, longer-lasting manicured nails than when I started going to see Pauline. If you value the same things I do in a manicurist, then she's the one for you. I almost don't want her to get too popular because I love the ability of getting in with her last minute ;) but she's just to good to keep to myself. If you go see Pauline, you won't be sorry! read more

I found Paulene on Yelp and when I saw a perfect score, I tried for an appointment. Luckily she was able to see me within 10 minutes of me calling. I was there for close to 2hrs for a gel manicure, but it was the best experience I've ever had. She delicately took off the gel polish. The person who did my nails last put the polish on thick and it was hard to get off. When Paulene finished with my cuticles I felt like they'd never been cared for before she got a hold to them. I was AMAZED. We picked two colors for the manicure. She gave me a free CND cuticle oil and throughout it all, we had wonderful conversation. In addition, she gives each of her clients their own bag with a file and buffer. So nail health is super important to her. BOOK HER TODAY. read more

Phalanges Manicure Studio - Perfect shellac manicure. Color: OPI Getting Nadi on my Homeymoon - Nail Salons Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Pauline gives the best manicure you can get. My shellac manicures have literally never lasted so long and I have searched for a good solution to this problem for years being somewhat hard on my nails with what I do for a living. No one will spend as much time and care on your nails as she will and she uses high quality products with lots of color options. On top of that she is a wonderfully positive and inspirational person. The studio space is quiet and peaceful and you will not feel like a number on a list. 5 Stars all the way around. read more

There is good, better, best, then there is Pauline! Ah-maz-ing (I saw amazing spelled like this as I watched a show closed caption). I wanted to get my nails done and looked for a place using my trusty (almost fail proof) source: Yelp! and came across Phalanges Manicure Studio. The reviews, and importantly photos *yelling* DO NOT LIE! First: She is amazing (I said that before), secondly, her studio is so relaxing, CLEAN! and inviting. I read reviews before I booked so I knew what to expect, but my expectations were better than what I expected. There was no wait and I was in the chair at my appointment time: Yes ma'am! Pauline is thorough with explaining YOUR nails and shape, products to help your manicurist (cuticle oil; Haha), and how long my nails should last. Our conversation span multiple subjects and it was as if I was talking with a friend I've known for years. Not only do I recommend her, I'm going to say whatever day you choose to treat yourself, I encourage you to book an appointment with Pauline that day as you will not be disappointed! Also, make sure your text for your appointment! Last note, she takes her time so trust her process and appreciate your personal treatment! I will most definitely book again! *I cannot upload pictures to Yelp for whatever reason, but believe my Emma Gel Golden Nights nude color look ah-maz-ing!* Fix it Yelp! read more

Absolutely phenomenal!!! I took a leap of faith searching online for salon that didnt have a problem keeping my nails natural. Phalanges popped up. My experiences was greater than I could've ever possibly imagined. The professionalism and true sincerity of the proprietor was a refreshing first. Not only did I walk out with the best manicure I've ever had...ever! But I gained a friend. There aren't enough stars to express my satisfaction and gratitude. Thank you Pauline! read more

Pauline did an amazing pedicure and manicure! My nails haven't looked this good in years! So professional and personable! Highly recommended you book! read more

Pauline provides an incredibly relaxing and thorough service. If you are looking to have a manicure and pedicure that's completed meticulously and with the upmost care please visit Pauline. This is unique from any other salon because you are given absolute divided attention by Pauline and you don't have to worry about being rushed like an ordinary salon. Although my appointment was slightly time sensitive because I had a hair appointment in the afternoon Pauline did a fantastic job and made sure I had time to get to the hair salon. Pauline also fostered an environment where if I had questions or wanted something done differently to my nails I was not hesitant to ask. She always made sure I was pleased with the shape of my nails, the cuticles, and color of polish before proceeding. This is so different and refreshing from other salon because I typically would feel too shy to say something as a nail technician would rush through my mani/pedi. For a phenomenal experience and probably the best mani/pedi you'll ever have please go to Pauline!! read more

Pauline does an AMAZING job. She is very meticulous and the shop is very clean! She always does an exceptional job on my nails and her pedicures are the best! My daughter and I love getting our nails and feet done!! read more

So glad I gave Pauline a try I'm very happy with my shellac manicure . Pauline is a lovely person.

Pauline did a fantastic job on my nails! I got them done for a trip and not only did they last the whole time, they still looked fantastic throughout the trip. She also has a pretty wide selection of gel polishes to find the color you need. Would recommend! read more

Pauline is very thorough and knowledgeable! She will make you feel comfortable and she values each customer's business and time. I have had manicures and pedicures from her and both were phenomenal.

What a wonderful way to start the new year, by finding a fabulous new manicurist! I found Pauline via Yelp and finally found service that match the 5 star reviews (I've been dupped several times basing my visits to other nail salons on reviews, only to be majorly disappointed). Pauline is very professional and very good at her craft. Her salon is meticulously clean and her attention to detail is exceptional. Due to health issues, my fingernails have been in pretty bad condition this past year and I'm so pleased, now that they're on the road to good health, I have someone who can care for them appropriately. My cuticles were in dire need of attention, which she provided with patience and care. My feet no longer feel like they have the winter blues and I'm happily admiring them as I write this review. I love the private one-on-one client approach, appreciate the dedicated file and buffer, plus the free sample of CND nail/cuticle oil. The coversation with a kindred spirit of personal self-improvement/awareness was a bonus. The only thing I missed is the big comfy massage chairs, but in comparison to the many, many pros this is a con I don't mind doing without. I'm incredibly pleased and thankful to have made Pauline's acquaintance and look forward to my future visits. Thanks hun for such a great experience! read more

Not recommended at all. Complete lack of consideration. Made an appointment and my exact words were I need to soak off and after that I would like a manicure. Pretty clear right? I get to the salon and she claims she doesn't know how to soak off acrylic. What? Wouldn't common sense tell you to tell me that when you made the appointment? Asked me to go somewhere else to get soaked off and then come back. Huh? No, I'll just go. Disappointed because I saw pictures of her work and was really impressed. Oh well. read more

Amazing service for nails!!!! Love the quality!! Pauline is the BEST!!!! Love the setting nice and quite. Great conversation and clean atmosphere!!! read more

Such a great mani experience. Love Pauline. She's very knowledgeable and courteous. Her products are top notch and work well! Great selection of colors. Loved my shellac which lasted about three weeks before it was time to remove. Will be back! read more

I received the best pedicure of my life on my first visit. I was trying to schedule an appointment last minute and the customer service was excellent. Pauline is extremely thorough. The appointment did take longer than I had anticipated but the results were well worth it. I will be returning. I had 1 gel nail chip a week in and she fixed it (and another one she was not happy with). If you want a manicurist who care about providing a quality service this is the spot. read more

A pedicure with Pauline is what it's supposed to be: a relaxing experience. She doesn't rush you or treat you like an assembly line. She sanitizes everything and uses "best practices" for the safety of her clients. She doesn't keep reusing the same supplies on all her clients. I go to Pauline for a relaxing, professional, sanitary pedicure that makes my feet look and feel great. I have the added peace of mind of knowing that I'm not leaving her salon with some fungus or problem I didn't have before. read more

Pauline is not only pleasant and friendly, but she's very professional. She is an expert in what she does. She advised me on what my nails needed....A Break! She had MY best interest in mind because she saw that my nails had been damaged from constant gel/dip polish. I got an amazing manicure and now I'm waiting for my nails to regain their natural strength so I can book an appointment with her. Did I mention she uses not toxic products as well???? read more

Pauline is super responsive, meticulous and pays great attention to detail! Extremely clean place, which is my top priority. I had the mini pedi (1 hour) but next time I hope to have enough time for the spa pedicure (1 1/2 hours). I left with cute toes and felt very pampered and relaxed! read more
