I went here years ago and then popped in on sunday and saw the owners have changed. (In 2018) What a great experience i wanted Black but Kay recommended dark grey. I love when i can trust the nail artist! I loved it Kay did a gel polish change. She beautifully worked me in-between clients. I love that it is clean,kind, and has a nice atmosphere. The clients were smiling I will definitely go back. read more

Not good quality, I got a no chip manicure YESTERDAY and not even 24 hours later 3 of my nails already have chips in them. I will not be going back. read more

I came in when it wasn't busy, and asked for a dip manicure and a pedicure. I was worked on right away. They've always done a great job with my nails especially since my nails are very frail/fragile. There's always something on the TV and music going. The employees are really nice. I travel for a living so when I'm home and in need of a manicure I always make time to go back. read more

Pretty Nails - Dip manicure with their new chrome powder. I'm in love. - Nail Salons Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I've don't come in frequently (which is my bad, because I always leave feeling great), but did yesterday for a pedicure for an upcoming vacation. I had my friend with me, and we had a blast talking with Alecia and Kay! They are always friendly and the salon is always clean, which is a big thing for me. They do a great job, and I love how I look when it is done. Highly recommend! read more

Pretty Nails - They really take there time! Everything is very clean an sanitary I love it! - Nail Salons Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I am always pleased EVERY single time I get my Mani and Pedi at Pretty Nails!!! The salon is clean and organized and the owners take such good care of my needs. I've been a customer for years and have been spoiled with Dip/Gel and (on occasion) tips! I always feel pretty when my service is complete and I can't wait till my next appointment to be spoiled!!! Make your appointment now and enjoy your Mani/Pedi! read more

I've had services at this nail salon a couple times. The gel manicures were ok. The place was not so clean and the acetone solution she used a nail brush to put on seemed strange. The male owner was friendly but the female owner wasn't friendly. One odd thing that really bothered me was there were beta fish in several very small vases that included pothos plants. As a fish owner, this was a bit disturbing because it didn't appear to be an adequate environment for survival. Sure enough, when I returned for my next visit almost all of the fish were dead (but still in the vases dead!) and the plant roots had grown tremendously...there was essentially no where for the fish to go. This is animal cruelty as far as I'm concerned and uncomfortable for client to view as they are receiving services. Needless to say, I won't be returning. read more

This was a very nice, clean place and I really liked my pedicure. It would have been my go to nail spot since the nail tech was very nice and professional. I think her name was Kathy? However, I had to knock a few stars down due to my boyfriend toes being scratched and scabbed up due to the pressure the lady used from the pumice stone. Never have I ever seen a nail tech used a pumice stone for the front side of the feet between the toe crevices, I thought it was only used for the back side, where it is meant to be used for callus. I feel as if she was far more engaged in talking with her other male coworker than focusing on my boyfriends feet. She kept scrubbing in between the toe crevices and wasn't paying attention on how long she has been doing it, for it even to get like that. I'm very upset of how my boyfriends feet turned out, especially when I have finally gotten him to get his very first pedicure done with me. It was a bad first experience for him and I wish the lady was more gentler with him like how she was with me. When we left he said his feet felt very sore and tender and I just thought he was over exaggerating since it was his first pedi, but after two days he sent me a pic of his scabbed up feet. The overall total came out to be $85 for two pedicures which is not too bad. It was $27 each, but since I had gel, it was $18 more and callus remover, $3, and a $10 tip. read more

Kevin has an attitude like every other time I come. No phones, ok I can see why but then he like pauses 10 times during the service to mess with his on the stand this time I just wanted a fill with a matte black top coat and a small rhinestone design on the base of one nail on each hand. When finished I noted that my thumb had wrinkled and when I brought it to his attention he got an attitude and said I'll fix it but your not putting your hand all the way in, put it all the way in and then he starts aggressively e filing the nail. I'm like dude wtf I get my nails done by you all the time and I'm a nail tech myself I know how to insert and keep my fingers in a uv light. Both nails the rhinestones are on are dimpled and wrinkled because he globbed the gel and top coat to hold the rhinestones on too thick. Again, I brought it to his attention, and he said no, it does that it does that. No tf it does not, Kevin. What's funny is right after he started to take the polish off my thumb he snapped who did your nails last time, and I just straight up said, you dude why, was it a bad job? Today will probably be my last going there. read more

Pretty Nails - Streaky matte top coat, globbed top coat and gel to hold rhinestones so it didn't cure properly and wrinkled. - Nail Salons Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is the best nail salon in Milwaukee!! I've been coming for years!! They achieve any look you want for your nails! So many colors and perfect shaping!!! The salon is so clean and pretty! I recommend to everyone i know! Kevin is amazing and pays attention to every detail! read more

They had the time to do a pedicure, but only if I did gel polish lol. I was looking to just get a basic pedi, and regular polish lasts plenty long enough on my feet. It's bad business to turn away a potential regular client because you're not allowed to upcharge. read more

I have been a regular for the past year! I will only come here as long as I live in Milwaukee. They are VERY PROFESSIONAL and customer service oriented. They demonstrate a true appreciation for customers. I never have to wait; they do not double book appointments. They have convenient hours for working people. The products they use are high quality and the prices for services are reasonable. I am always beyond satisfied with my nails and pedicures. I am a regular of Richard's. He is very precise with the dip powder manicures and gel pedicures. The salon has ample parking and is very clean with strict adherence to infection control. I highly recommend Pretty Nails...a Southside gem! read more

My daughter and I were in town for a wedding. We decided to treat ourselves to pedis and nails as we hadn't had time to visit our regular salon before the trip. The guy who did my pedi was very aggressive with the grater and punctured my heel. He didn't tell me and it wasn't until I went to remove the tor spacers that I noticed a puddle of blood in my flip flop. He came over and kept asking if I am diabetic, which I am not and had nothing to do with him puncturing my foot. He sprayed it with alcohol and wiped it off, it was still bleeding profusely. He stuck a paper towel between my foot and flip flop and sent me on my way. No apology. No discount on the pedi for puncturing my foot, they just wanted to get me out of there as I was still bleeding. read more

I stopped in for a toe nail polish changed. She filed the color off (regular polish not gel or dip) then she watered the polish that I picked down so there was no sparkle in it and then because she wouldn't paint on just the toe nail when she went to clean it up she used her thumb she took off more polish than she should have. And then charged me $20 before the tip for 10 mins! Very disappointed used to be a regular customer here won't be back... read more

Kevin is the best nail tech @pretty nails by far. I had cut my finger 5 stitches later he filled my nails was so gentle. read more

Being new to area, I didn't know where to go and I was recommended to try this salon. My first come of appointments to have my nails done took her 2 hours and charged way to much... And they never cut cuticles before they start your nails. Which I found strange. I wouldn't mind paying, If the job is done correctly! The girls seem to talk to much to one another and don't focus on the clients needs, in the other hand. The guys there seem to do great work! Especially Jaden who left to California.. so I guess I'm back to looking for another nail salon. read more

Awesome!! Kevin did an amazing job!! Very clean and took all precautions/safety of Covid-19! I would highly recommend!! Great service!! read more

Pretty nails offers a very clean and safe place to come. Everyone is very friendly and do a fantastic job. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, excellent job place to come and get your manicure // pedicures...this is the place. read more

The work they do isn't bad, but lately it just hasn't been what I wanted. I showed them a picture of something I wanted for my next appointment. They said it would be no problem. I go back to get it done, and it's nothing like it was in the picture. Also, I have cuts on 4 of my fingers, and there are spots where they clearly missed with the polish. It's not a bad place, but it's just way too inconsistent for my liking. Also, never been to a place that charges you more for a matte topcoat. I've gotten it done with them before, and now they start charging extra for it. read more

This spa is a hidden gem, that's even open on Sundays! Quality service and recommendations from our tech, Madi. Very clean, updated salon. Got my first ever dip manicure, and truly impressed with it. Madi talked me through every step of the process, and explained the benefits! My fiancé also got his eyebrows waxed, was also impressed with the fast quality service. Talked my fiancé into trying a pedicure and he got one as well. We will definitely be back! Thanks for the great service! read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside but it's very lovely in the inside! The decor is very nice and the place is very clean. The pedicure chairs are very nice and even have a USB charger if needed. They also provide complimentary beverages. The staff if very welcoming and helpful especially for a mom like me that never gets their nails done! Also they did a wonderful job on my 4 year old daughter and even painted little Santa faces on her tiny thumbs! We had great experience and will definitely plan to be back!! read more

I love coming to this little hidden gem. The manicurist takes his time when he does my nails. I always leave happy. I usually get a shellac manicure or a shellac acrylic set and it has NEVER chipped!

This place over charges you for an ok job. I asked for Kevin and was told I would get him and of course, I didn't get him :( The charge extra and like to take advantage of people. I won't be back. Just beware when making an appointment. read more

Went in to get a manicure and pedicure on Friday and not even a day after my nails started chipping off. Today is Thursday almost a week after and all the nails have chipped away. I do not recommend getting a manicure or pedicure here, they do not last and for the price I paid they should have at least lasted a week before they chipped. I went in with a friend and her nails are doing the same thing, so I know it is not just my nails. Will not be coming back here for a mani or pedi. read more

I've had my nails done by Kevin twice and have been very happy with my results. I have been able to wait 3 weeks in between getting my nails filled and haven't had any break or lift at all. I am also happy that he is able to make my nails thin, so they look like they could be my real nails. I definitely plan to continue to see Kevin for my nails! read more

I just moved to the neighborhood from Bay View and am glad I found this nail salon! Everyone was very friendly and I didn't have to wait long (Friday afternoon). The Felix pedicure was a good price and they did excellent callous work. I'll be visiting again! read more

I stopped to get my eyebrows waxed. LV was the woman who treated me. Though the wait was 20 minutes long, the service was great! LV apologized for the long wait and got to work. My eyebrows look fantastic and she even gave me a mini facial massage. It was unexpected and felt amazing!! One thing to keep in mind is that you can't put tip on a credit card. Bring cash!! read more

Worst customer service. The tech was on his phone and walking around while he was helping me. it was dead. I was there for almost 2 hours for just a fill. He never asked if i liked the cut or shape. He kept grabbing my hand and pulling it. He some how knew i had a sister and asked why i came in there. It was my first time and i felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable i only tipped in case i broke a nail and had to go back read more

I had a really terrible experience today with Nancy. I asked for a manicure and the service was sooo rushed. I paid $40 for an extremely rushed, poorly done manicure. I asked for french manicure and she made the white line so thick and chunky. When I politely requested if she could make it thinner, the employees starting chatting with eachother in another klanguage with me just standing there. It felt very hostile and she refused to fix it for me. I didn't want to cause a scene so i just paid and left. But this was such a terrible experience and i dont recommend anyone go there. read more

When I say BEST PEDICURE EVER! Seriously!! This place is a must try. I was in Milwaukee visiting from Houston and my boyfriend and I wanted to get pedicures. From the outside I was a little skeptical but when you go inside it looks nothing like the outside. The inside was very pretty and modern. They were not too friendly upon arrival so I was a little nervous but after a while they started to warm up. They had a lot of summer colors to choose from. When we got to our chairs our techs were super friendly we talked the entire time. I can't exactly remember which pedicure we received but we upgraded and it was definitely worth it. This was the most relaxing pedicure I have ever received. They were extremely attentive and really were good at their jobs. This will definitely be returning whenever I am out there. Not to mention the prices were extremely reasonable. read more

After reading other positive reviews on Yelp, realizing the shop is in my neighborhood, and open on a Monday, I stopped in sans appointment just after 5pm. A man greeted me while I reviewed the menu of services, I was looking for a basic pedicure (I'm sure it was named differently) and the pricing started at $27, he said they had time for me and I proceeded to pick out nail color. The shop is super clean, crisp, and the equipment appears to be brand new. Within 10 minutes he had set me up in a pedi chair and explained it would be a little bit of a wait but someone would be with me soon. The chairs offer many different types of massage options and even have a USB port (nice touch!). Roughly 5 more people with appointments filled the shop. I was offered refreshments while I waited with my feet soaking, water temp=perfection. The shop had a clubbing-type-genre radio station playing in the background and local news on the TV - though it couldn't be heard over the music, I recommend turning on the closed captioning. After several check-ins by other staff, some of whom I assume could be owners, and offers of refreshments, I ended up soaking for an hour while waiting on further services. I didn't see this to be a total negative as I didn't have an appointment, it was a Monday and staffing may be less than other days ... turns out my wait for Mari was beyond worth it. Mari is not only adorable in appearance she has class and personality. She listens intently, offers education, advice, and does amazing work! Mari took her time and ensured I was satisfied each step of the way. I am the furthest person from consistent beauty upkeep, much less pampering, but Mari convinced me I've found my favorite pick for manicurist and salon! read more

Very nice clean remodeled nail spa. Have had some new sets and many fills and always walk out happy. Also the pedicures are great. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new nail and full service salon. read more

I'm soo impressed with this nail salon! Kay bought it and remolded it and it looks amazing! Her customer service is honestly the best I've know in the business and I'm soo glad to have found her! Last time I was in Mari did a dip powder manicure. She took her time & truly cared about the service and nails. I'm pretty particular and this salon exceeds my expectations. All of my friends and family will be hearing about this salon! Thanks Kay & Mari! read more

Got a fill in and had him paint my nails, they look uneven and a mess! Also my nail tech was very rude after telling him i was from out of town. I bumped my nail going to get my eyebrows done and asked if they could fix my nail and they did and just make it look worse! I will be spending a lot of time back and fourth from my home to my parents and would like a local nail salon up here, but let me tell ya this place will not be it!!!! Also I'm use to other nail techs putting cuticle oil on your nails , they didn't do that and I'm use to getting my cuticles cleaned upped and no they didn't do this either!!! Will go back to my local nail salon and get them redone. read more

I went in as a "walk in" for a fill and color change. The younger guy was my tech (don't know his name) and he totally messed up the shape of my nails! I asked for Squoval (Square & round at the edges). My nails were crooked. When I pointed it out he said it was like that. Then he kept accusing me of getting angry. I told him I am not angry, just fix it. He attempted to fix it and it was even worse. Before he could even paint my nails, I asked how much he would charge me for just the fill. He told me $15. Paid the guy and left. Once I got home and had a better look at my nails...5 out of 10 were not filed correctly. Then I remembered a few months back, same guy messed up my pedi. At that time I vowed not to go back and still gave another try. Prior to that one of the gals did my nails and it was fine. My advice...don't go to the young guy!!!!! read more

My husband and I found Pretty Nails when looking for a new nail spa. Today was the 2nd time there and it was just as good an experience as our first if not better.
