tony v was fast and efficient and love the calm vibe in there. definitely recommend:)

My daughter and I were visiting town and after calling a few places we finally found openings here. Most nail places in TVC don't do dip nails, and that's what we wanted. They're a very friendly, fun staff, joking and talking with clients. The space needs maintenance and better regular cleaning. The bathroom sink needed a wipe down, etc, and the floor tiles are uneven, trim is coming off, etc I don't know the cause of this or state of repair so I won't judge here It's just a note. The massage chairs are nice, and my manicurist listened to me and was able to do a very nice dip job. I wanted OPI Lisbon Wants a Moor, but they don't carry it- however I was able to find a very close match called Pinky Promise (D200). If you're into comfort and aren't too posh for a non-fussy family owned business, I recommend it here. I would come back! Pricing is competitive with the other salons. Come visit Jenny and George! read more

QT Nails - Beautiful, sparkly cat eye! - Nail Salons Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

Poor customer service, spilled glue all over my hand and threw a paper towel at me to wipe it off. Filed my nail so much it burned and broke a tip off. The lady was so annoyed she had to fix it. Not a good experience read more

Quite literally the sweetest nicest people ever. Took us immediately for a last minute appointment. I had Michelle and she was so awesome and fun to talk to, super cute setup and payed super close attention to any of my concerns (I had like none with her she did amazing) this was honestly the most comfortable I've ever felt while getting my nails done! The vibes were immaculate all of us were laughing and just vibing. Totally recommend this place for your nails read more

3 stars for the product, 5 for the folks. Traveling out-of-state, in-turn away from my primary salon, I've sought out the services of other salons. My unfortunate take-away is that the seeming all-the-rage in the TC area "shellac" for manicures s*cks. My nails did.not.last. They were super-cute, they just didn't last a full week before beginning to chip. I'm fairly confident I could have called and shared what happened, but I didn't. Because I hadn't used the salon before I wasn't sure if it was my nails, the product, the tech's application/technique...and chose to leave it alone. However, now having had a second manicure with "shellac" (the h*ll?! Why is this sh*t so popular and one's only option?!), I'm heavily leaning towards the issue being the product. The people were great. In this time of Covid, they were very attentive to keeping people safe. They were also kind, personable, and accommodating. Again, with the Covid issues, techs were working beyond regularly scheduled hours (I understand it was their choice to do so) to get folks in and manicured/pedicured. Their prices were in-line with other salons, and if they were able to offer something besides shellac, I'd use them again in a minute. read more

QT Nails - See?! Super-cute! (Pic was taken @ 7 days, not right after! :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

I went to QT Nails on 9/13/23 to get a manicure and a pedicure for my wedding on 9/16/23. I originally booked the appt for 2 people, however my mom got stuck in traffic on her way to traverse city and was unable to make the appt in time. They proceeded to tell me I'd be charged for her services as well since I didn't cancel her spot within 24 hours. When I called and made the appt a few days prior they never mentioned this is their policy. They asked that I give a 24hr cancellation notice, but never mentioned I'd be charged if I didn't. They never took a card down on file when I made the appt so if I didn't show up for the appt at all, I wouldn't have been charged for my moms spot and they would've been out the $$$ for both of us instead of just one person. I recommend just not showing up for the appt at all if you made an appt for 2 people and know that 1 person isn't able to make it, just so you can avoid the charge for their services. They did say they would "meet me halfway" and only charge me for my mom's pedicure, but I feel that I should have never been charged when this policy was never disclosed. They did my toes first. I don't remember the name of the man that did my toes, but he cut me pretty bad. Not only did he not say anything at all after he cut the side of my big toe nail, he continued trying to put the polish on the other toes with the cut continuously bleeding. He tried using the same brush he'd been using the entire time to stop the bleeding. He didn't bother grabbing a new clean brush, tissue, etc. to clean up the cut, which led to me being concerned with infection. He didn't say anything during this entire time until he was done with the service and told me I was finished. I then asked if there was anything I could put on it to help avoid infection and to help it heal by my wedding day and his response was "yeah I don't really know what you could put on it." I unfortunately didn't get a picture of my toe while it was actively bleeding, but the picture provided was about an hour after (after my manicure was done and I was back in the car). Also, when starting my deluxe pedicure, he had no idea he was supposed to be doing a deluxe until the lady at the front desk came to tell him after he already started for about 5-10 minutes. The gentleman who did my manicure was fantastic. I believe his name was Tim. This 1 star review does not apply to him. During my manicure I asked him if he knew of anything I could put on my toe since I was cut during my pedicure, and he paused the manicure completely to help fix my toe up and deeply apologized on behalf of the other gentleman. I do not recommend QT nails. read more

My number one place to go for nails! They are always smooth and a great shape. They have endless options and the owner is super funny! Prices are normal for the area and other surrounding salons but the work they do is beautiful and outshines a lot of other salons in the area. They just did a beautiful new remodel as well! read more

called for a service for 4, per the owners daughter they are booked solid-I requested to see if we could stagger our appointments and to ask for the owner for this is now the third time they are unable to accommodate our family. He explained that they are 1-2 weeks out. I said this is just frustrating and maybe more staffing is necessary if your unable to book loyal clients-his response was he has tried getting more staff for 5 years, at witch point I said ok well have a good day I guess we will have to take our business else where; at which point he raised his voice in an overly cheerful manor and said never to call there again-umm okay! If you do go I would only request Tim and Rachel for services...everyone else sucks! and don't be afraid to ask them including the owners to wash their hands in-between clients that's just unsanitary. read more

DO NOT go to QT nails traverse city, the overcharge you frequently and I also got an infection for 65 dollars. My nail has swollen and it's been pussing. Save your money and yourself from the pain! Also the place was very dirty, there were old shoes laying around, trash all over in hidden places. I was very upset with my experience. read more

I won't go back. The man who did my pedi clipped but didn't file the nails so the edges of each nail was sharp. Also didn't clean off all the oil before applying 2 coats of polish (no base or top coat) so the polish remained smeary - I took it off at home to avoid getting it on my socks or slippers. Called right after getting home and asked for a re-do with a different person and they refused saying I had to go back to the same person. Later spoke with owner and asked for a refund. She dug her heels in insisting service was already provided, but it really wasn't. An actual standard pedicure was not provided. I paid $60 for a foot massage! Going to a nail spa is more than just cutting, filing, painting, etc. it's also about the EXPERIENCE! It's about being taken care of and feeling good. This situation could very easily have been made right by the salon. It seems they care more about taking your money than providing a good service so people want to come back. Never again. read more

QT Nails - Nail polish never dried. Nails crudely cut, not filed even lightly - corners super sharp. This was no $60 pedicure!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

I had tony and he did a great job with my nails. Repaired my two nails perfectly. I left with the exact shape I asked for (coffin).

Update from the sparkly gold nail set : the application appointment was amazing and the nail tech tony did a great job! My removal appointment however was not a good experience. My nail tech took on another appointment while removing my nails and after ten minutes his boss stepped in to remove them, and then my original nail tech came back. (Too be fair I was about 6 minutes late so that could have contributed, I just felt that it was important to mention because it was very frustrating.) My nail tech had me soak both of my hands in a very small bill of acetone together, so the glue and dip ended up all over my hands because they were squished together in a tiny bowl. Then my nail tech went to use the drill and nicked me almost 5 times on the cuticle and cutting off a small chunk of my natural nail! It was a very uncomfortable experience. When he said my nails were done I looked down and saw that their was gunk left under my nails and glue/dip residue left all over the tips of my fingers and knuckles. When I asked him to try to remove it, he used the sharp edge of a pair of nail clippers to dig under my nails and clip the glue off of the tips of my fingers and knuckle! I still tipped because I want to believe I just caught them on a bad day. I loved my first experience and the resulting nail set, but was terribly disappointed with the removal process. read more

Went here for a pedicure. Very clean, great service. Staff is very friendly. They are by appointment only. Will definitely be going back.

I pondered even writing this review but after looking at my nails (natural mani/pedi) I will not go back. I used to see Eva and was so happy with her work. I had another gentleman today who has done my daughter's acrylics in the past which she did not like. I thought I'd give him a shot at my nails.....it looks like I did them myself. For 55? No thanks. read more

I don't get my nails done often. I went for a mani pedi for the wedding coming up. The pedi cure was fine. They have nice massage chairs. The language 'barrier ' be it real or obstinate was unsettling. The manicure was fine , but it only lasted 24 hours. Since I don't do this regularly it was fine for my toes. Customer service could be more friendly and outgoing. read more

Great place. Small but very personable service. Manager is local born and raised here in Traverse. You never feel rushed or "assembly line finish" feeling. Powder dip process is the best in town. Have been doing business with them for over one year and never disappointed. Extensive colors available. read more

Too pricey. Not the pedicure I've ever had but definitely the most expensive. They do nail dip, not very experienced. Difficult to communicate exactly what you want. read more

Great friendly service. Came here for SNS dip powder. Fun colors to choose from. Scheduling service sent a text to remind of the appointment. Overall nails look great but the polish is too thick in the center making it look a little strange. I'd come back but again but would tell them it needs to be thinner / even. read more

My 80 year old mother & I had pedicures. Ladies were so professional and skilled with nails. We recommend highly

I like this place but whenever I come in they ALWAYS make me pay ahead and no one ever around me had to do that... so I'm very confused but it makes me feel uncomfortable because it seems like they won't think I will pay :( read more

I found this place by chance. It's clean, super friendly staff, and great prices. I'm a fan!

Just what I was looking for - experts in nail-related services. Relaxing at an affordable price!

Not very friendly. Apparently can not ask questions or they think your yelling. I specifically was trying to say " without crap talking another business can you tell me if your gel is better" I got hung up on for using the word crap? I called back talked again and simply said I wanted to know if yours is better without it being talking crap and was told to find another salon. Awesome service. read more

After going to QT Nails for a couple years, I am out due to the attitude and rudeness of the owner. The quality of work I would give 4 stars but customer service provided by the owner a 2 at best today. When I first started going here, and I did on a recommendation of a friend, it was great but as the salon grew & became busier, the owner became ruder & less accommodating to appointments. Because he was busy, he felt the right to not take the time to deal with your phone call and tell you to call back or send him a FB message, that took him forever to respond to, and at times I still had to call for an appt because he didn't call back after sending a message like he requested. My last attempt to reschedule an appt with one his techs led to cancelling it & cancelling future appts that I had scheduled. Nail Salons are a dime a dozen in Traverse City & I don't feel he has the right to treat his customers the way he does just because he is busy. Hire a receptionist then!! read more
