    This is my favorite nail place. They always do such a good job. I also always get my brows waxed here. I would highly recommend.

    Great place. Great ambiance, service and results. I really enjoy being a regular here.

    New to the area and I've been trying out many nail salons to find one I can frequent and I finally did! Had a great experience as a walk in. They were attentive, I was taken care of quickly and they did a great job on my nails. I will definitely make this my new go to nail salon. Plus it's great to be right next to whole foods and plan a grocery run right after or if you need to wait.

    "Pedicure" mutilation

    My wife went to this place for a pedicure and came home with multiple deep gashes on her foot. Not only was she disfigured physically, but the trauma has taken a psychological toll on her as well. If you look closely there are at least 4 separate chunks taken out of her toe, all of which cut deep into her foot and drew blood. The person who administered this "pedicure" didn't slip and make one accidental cut. This individual gouged her over and over again. Judging by the the other complaints seen here on yelp and through other channels about this shop, it's clear there is a pattern of doing physical harm to customers.

    After a year and a half without a pedicure I decided to take advantage of my free time while my husband took our two year old to the zoo. Looking forward to my first pedicure in quite some time I tried to relax, not far into it and the woman took the cheese grater to my big toe injuring me, blood going everywhere. I just started crying. All I wanted to do was relax and now a hunk of my big toe was missing. The manager was nice and I know it was an accident, but I'm still confused about how on earth this even happened. I won't be back and will probably never ever go in for a pedicure again. I'm scarred for life.

    Dip mani

    This place is great! It's big, lots of color selections, and super clean. They were able to fit in six of us for various nail appointments (pedis, dip mani, gel mani, etc.). They were so kind and accommodating. The owner was so nice and got everyone their drink of choice while getting their nails done (green tea was great!). I will definitely be back!

    Vicki did a phenomenal job on my dip manicure! This is my new nail salon I will be going too!

    The set up when we arrived plus the box of cupcakes we brought

    This place is the best! Had a great experience there getting our nails done for my sister's wedding so I booked them again for my daughter's birthday. When we arrived there was a birthday sign, juice boxes on silver platters, and a cake! They also had enough technicians to accommodate all nine of us without anyone having to wait. Everyone was so nice and friendly and they did a great job with our manicure/pedicures. This is definitely the spot for a large party, would book any time!

    2.5/5 overall rating. I was debating giving them a 2.5 and 3 stars but I decided on a 2.5 because…read morecustomer service is at least good. I visited over a year ago in April 2023 and this review is being written in May 2024. CUSTOMER SERVICE -- In my experience, they have good customer service. I called last minute and I was able to get an appointment. NAILS -- There are a variety of styles and colours to choose from - you can keep your natural nails or add acrylic (fake) nails. I got acrylic nails for the first time with a pink gel polish. My actual nail service was a little rushed towards the end because I noticed that after the staff member was done, my cuticles or the skin around my nails were not smooth. There was still little bits of dry skin that could be cut or peeled off. The nail technician, a woman, didn't remove some of my dry skin around my nails. Granted, I could have said something to her afterwards but after already spending over 1 hour there, it was getting late at night and I needed to go back to my apartment. It was obvious to me though that the nail technician would know how to finalise a nail service. For such an expensive nail service, it would have been nice if they paid more attention to the little details. My cuticles and some dead skin were not done correctly. In addition, when I went back 2+ months later to have the nails removed, which I believe is free or $10, I noticed that my actual nails were brittle/soft/weak. It took over 4 months for my nails to feel strong again. A friend told me that the method that they used to remove the acrylic nails may have put too much pressure of on my actual nails and damaged them. I'm never getting acrylic nails and gel polish again whether here at Liz Nails or elsewhere. It works for some people but not for me. Gel polish is extremely hard to remove by yourself and that's not a Liz Nails business issue. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 29/150 total reviews in 2024 - 679 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 17 May 2024

I think there's about 8 nail stations and 3 pedicure chairs. Glossy does not do dips or acrylics, they do regular polish and gel manicures with builder gel. The salon is super clean and does not smell like acrylic or any other chemical. I don't think I've ever been out in under 90 minutes, so you do need to make sure that you have time. The techs are pretty punctual. As some folks have said, there are only a few dedicated parking spots, but you can usually grab an easy street spot. I will say, much as I love it here, it's on the higher side for a manicure. It's definitely worth it, you don't feel crowded or rushed, and they do a really thorough job with your nails. I really love the builder gel, which does add time to the process, and that, of course, adds to the cost - my natural nails click obnoxiously like the girls with the acrylic extensions and I love it.

My appointment was at 7:00, but I got there a little early because I work just down the road and got off at 7:00. They have a few designated parking spaces on the side of the building, but they were taken. However, I found a super close street spot no problem. I walk in and the receptionist was so cheery and friendly. Offered me coffee of tea. My mom and I sat and discussed which color gel we wanted, whilst looking in their "glossary" of colors. They had SO many cute options. I went with a shimmery white because I wanted something festive, yet subtle, for a 4th of July wedding I was attending. My nail tech, Becky, was so warm and welcoming. Honestly, I was so comfortable with her, it was like we were longtime pals. My mom and sister said the same with their nail techs as well. This was such a great experience. It honestly felt like a little home with a little family.

My nail tech, Katie, was super friendly and I really had high hopes that this would be my new spot. My pedi was okay, but she told me that unless I upgraded (i.e. paid more) that she couldn't remove my callouses. Moving on to my manicure, I asked for nail art but was informed that it was a $20 up charge. I opted for French tips instead, a $10 up charge, which she said she specialized in. As you can see from the photos, there was polish all over my cuticles, and the tips were extremely uneven and thick. Fast forward to a few weeks later, I decided to give Venetian one more chance. I specifically asked for Zoe as she has come highly recommended from friends. When I arrived, I was assigned a nail tech who was not Zoe. When I informed them that I had made an appointment specifically with Zoe, I was told that she wasn't working. My second mani was just as bad and unfortunately I will not be back.
