    Full Set, Gel polish, Custom Design

    love the amazing service here! it's so chill and relaxing love dory and team!! highly recommend

    Acrylic full set with star and moon design on ring finger
    Nikki R.

    First time Pinkies client but will be back! Overall I feel like the nail techs care A LOT about the quality of their work and client satisfaction. I had chewed down my cuticles pretty badly and my nail tech was very careful when applying the acrylic and prepping the nail beds to not hurt them further. I LOVED the way my nails turned out, they're very natural and just the right length. I asked for a star and moon design and they used stickers to apply which made it super neat and precise. My pedicure was really luxurious, she gave me an excellent massage and left my legs feeling really smooth. They played r&b the whole time, super chill.

    Ombré nails by Vincent!
    Brea D.

    So happy to have found Pinkies today! Vincent gave me a beautiful gel ombré mani ($55) and I got a regular pedi from Candy ($25). Everyone was so sweet. The salon was quiet, and they brought me water. I will definitely be back!

    I've been coming to pinkies for years. Not consistent because I don't do my nails often but I'm never disappointed. Everyone is nice and is understanding when you ask to get your nails filed down more or want it a certain way. You'll have the best experience if you go in with a game plan and know what you want before stepping into the door. As far as appointments, I've never experienced making one. I always just do walk-ins on a day I'm more available to lounge around and run errands. It's a hit or miss with the how busy it can be.

    This was the second chance I have given this place.. I saw Jon first I was so excited as my friend got her nails done with him and they were amazing. To my dismay he was cold and quiet. And my nails didn't come out good. However I understand sometimes People have a bad day, so I figured I would give PINKIES another try with another technician, considering some of their great reviews. Dory has awesome reviews and when I sat in her chair I was again very happy. My nails were not painted to the cuticle. The sides of my nails were not painted.. I had to ask her to paint my nails.. I apologized for pointing out mistakes & I explained I am soon to be engaged which is why I would really love my nails to be photo ready.. These nails are not photo ready. It feels like this business only cares about getting people in and out. Quality is not included here. I would not recommend this nail salon to anyone ever. However I did call and request a refund and whoever answered the phone was very kind and understanding. And I really appreciated that.

    Came to this mail place since my usual place wasn't available. Overalll happy with my nails. The tech that did it was very meticulous and cared enough to make sure I was happy. He would ask if I was happy with the cut, the shape, the color, etc. Paid $55 for my gel-x set with removal of old set. Not sure how pricing works since they had it listed for $35+ but I didn't have a design or anything. Maybe the length? That's the only thing I was surprised about was the $20 up charge but I always get shy asking. Either way I'm happy to pay and support small biz. Just ask before your start so you know!:)

    Exactly what I wanted

    Vincent is my favorite nail technician. He is always kind and provides quality work. I've been going here for years now. My local favorite.

    Natural nails with gel one week later.

    I was hoping Pinkies would be my new go-to nail place because gel manicures are only $25! But I think their polish is old or not great quality because it just doesn't last long. I typically leave my gels on for a month. The first time I came, they started chipping in a week but then pretty much lasted the rest of the month. I gave them another try since the price was right and they have so many good reviews. The second time, half of them had chipped after 1 day. I went back and they redid the chipped ones for free, but a week later they were chipping again and after another week they were more than halfway off. They also scraped my nails pretty badly when removing my gels so my nails are not in a good state now. It doesn't feel very clean here as there's a ton of clutter.

    I came to get my nails filled + change of design and fix three broken nails. Before coming I had texted the number available and got a quote of 50-55$. I went yesterday and they were busy so they too our names and said they'd call us so we went back home however two hours go buy and no call back so we drove back and they had seated others and totally forgot to call us. Afterwards the lady who started on my nails DID NOT DELIVER. She started off by pushing me to get my nails off and start with new nails in order to achieve the look I wanted however she was gonna charge me 10$ more. I ended up taking her advice but once we got to the design she gave me these flame stick on things which was not what I wanted but when I told her I rather the be drawn she told me that would be extra because it would take her longer so basically she wanted to charge me for her time which doesn't make sense since that's already what I'm doing. This is disappointing especially because I asked prior to coming in and wasn't told all this until it was too late. I got these done just yesterday and today MY NAIL BROKE. (Pictured left) what I wanted (picture middle). What I came in with (picture right) Clearly I didn't get what I was told I would get.

I stopped in here to get a quick pedi and there were 5 massage chairs, nice ambiance of a small water fountain as well as several large palms behind the chairs to give it a tropical type feel. The place isn't overly huge either. I think if I made it my frequent nail salon, I could know these ladies a lot better. But you gotta love how I walk in on a Sunday afternoon and there are 3 dudes rockin' the chairs. They definitely were not shy about pampering themselves. I am giving three stars as when I was getting my pedi, the lady said I didn't really need one. Uhhh wuuut? Didn't I come in here? I want a scrubbing like everyone else, dang it! I also noticed that afternoon that the polish was sort of bubbly, which inevitably meant that it was going to peel the polish. Bummer! I might try them again as it was fairly reasonable and I'll just have to put my foot down (literally) and say that no! my feet are not too soft! please scrub!

I have no problems with nail salons that aren't frou frou. I don't mind the lack of cucumber water. What does bother me is when you can just tell the place hasn't been cleaned in a while, when the foot sponges look like they've been scrubbing strong since '07, and where the NAIL LADY USES HER SHARP-ASS THUMBNAIL AS A CUTICLE IMPLEMENT. NASTY. Not only was that disgusting, it was painful. Usually a nice foot massage makes me forget a multitude of sins, but that wasn't a problem here, since my Sonicare toothbrush goes longer than these ladies when it comes to a massage. The only good thing about the place is that my pedicure looks decent. So that's how they earned one star (not that I have a choice on Yelp, but that's besides the point). But never again, Eiffel Tower...never.
