Brianna N.

I'll be surprised if I don't get an infection from this place. I won't ever go back. The towel she used to do my nails over smelt horrible and was clearly used multiple times as she shook out other pieces of someone else's nails. There was no heat all women working there were wearing multiple jackets I was so cold. The pedi water turned my feet blue. She repetitively filed down past the acrylic through my real causing me to bleed multiple times. I'm never one to complain but to download yelp and feel the need to write this I could save a person from having the same experience. I couldn't wait to leave I honestly thought I was being pranked.

Just a liner and some regular degular water... no salts or scrubs.

Went here after my usual place was closed 2 hours early for whatever reason. I have been here before but the quality wasn't the same. There were no salts or scrubs added to my tub, the massage chair kept turning off, the nail tech did jot cut my toe nails as I requested and when I spoke up the nail tech and her coworkers acted as if they didn't understand me. the atmosphere was strange and I don't reccomend to anyone I know.

It pays to let the nail tech do what she likes!!!

I pick a color (this time green) and just told her to do what she likes! She always does my nails so beautifully when we do this and I've enjoyed it both times now!!! She's so sweet and polite!

You can see in the middle where the matte finish wasn't dry and my ring finger where she cut me.

First time here, I waited 45 minutes (which was fine I expected to wait) and had two people taken before me. No one offered me colors or swatches to pick, but when a regular walked in they immediately handed her the color basket. And when I sat down with my picture of a simple design they said they can't do that so I had to settle for just a plain color. The woman doing my nails was rushing so much she cut me three times and pulled my nails out before they were dry (I got gel). I paid extra for a matte finish that isn't even matte because she pulled them out too soon and put oil on them. I asked her why they're still sticky she said "that's just the oil." I'm just disappointed I've been searching for a new nail salon, I've been getting my nails done for 15 years and never had an issue like this.

Very good service, have been twice! Kathy did my nails she site in the first station on the left side as you walk in. I'm very happy with how may nails looked and last. I usually get acrylic overlay with regular polish and it normally holds up pretty well. Overall good service, I just wasn't to happy at how much they try to get you to get gel polish. Otherwise great & very friendly service!

I usually see Chi, but everyone here is wonderful. She does any fun design I ask and always does it well. They have comfy chairs, an ATM, a TV, and couches to sit on while you wait. The prices are typical for this area. Bring cash to tip.

After reading all of the wonderful reviews... I decided to give this place a try and I'm so glad I did. Traci did a great job on both my pedicure and nails. She kept asking did I want a design and I really didn't but asked to look at what she could do. She handed me her phone to look at an album of nail designs. I didn't see any that I wanted but decided to look on Pinterest and I found one that caught my eye. She told me that she wouldn't be able to do it because it was too hard... I appreciated her honesty. So I just decided to go with leopard print on my big toe nails. It takes a while to get your nails/pedicure done, but it's because they take their time and do the job right. They paint your whole nail which seems to be hard for most nail salons to do. I'm glad I tried this salon out, I plan to become a regular.

I have only been coming here for 2 months and I love this nail salon. Chi is the absolute best. She is creative, artistic and pays attention to details. The salon is clean and the staff is friendly including the owner. I have been to every place in the neighborhood and they are definitely the best. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Paint job subpar - especially near the cuticle where the polish is streaky.

Really unhappy with this place. On first glance it was not clean as the couches were dingy and water bottles and Capri sun containers were left all over them. My manicure experience was so disappointing I declined the pedicure I was planning on getting. I have short weak nails that I work very hard to keep strong so I asked the tech to trim my cuticles and push them back before putting acrylic tips on to have more surface area on my nails and she completely refused stating she can't do that in case I bleed (???). Instead she ground at my nail and cuticles with the grinding tool which led to me being cut three times - the tech did not care about this. I needed a nude pink color for my nails and I asked if she had a color like that in the dip powder. She said she'd use the regular polish I picked and just use natural dip powder, this sounded fine since it was my first time getting the powder. When I declined the gel polish and told her I wanted the regular polish like we discussed she was visibly annoyed at me. What resulted was a crappy paint job with three cut/bleeding cuticles and nail glue left all over my fingers. My friend I was with (they separated us) had a bad pedicure experience stating the chair was painfully rough and the massage was barely existent so she declined paint. Will not come back here or refer anyone here. It's really difficult to find good nail salons and we were hopeful with the other good reviews we saw but it was just all around not good.

The quality of their service is below the standards. I asked for a manicure and pedicure and I had to ask the person to clean my toes, cut the cuticles, and file my nails equally. She was not very pleasant with my requests and I wasn't either. I shouldn't be asking for these at first place. Not to mention that my manicure was gone by the third day after my visit.

They did an awesome job! My new hot spot.
Mallory M.

Just writing to say I'm still an Evie's believer after all this time! I've been going to Chi religiously and she always does a phenomenal job. I get Pinterest-worthy nails every time I see her. Check out those Christmas tree light nails! I've always been happy every time I see her and highly recommend the services of Chi.

I was introduced to Emma's Nails by an old co-worker. I've been coming here for over 2 years for…read moregel manicures and pedicures. Emma's was recently remodeled and looks more beautiful than ever. The employees are friendly and accommodating, including the owner Andy. He always makes sure his clients leave happy. My go-to girls are Pebbles and Phanny, but I've had my nails done by other techs and I can confidently say that everyone does an excellent job. Eyelash extensions, waxing, dip powder/SNS and mood colors are among other services they offer. Prices are fair. For a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, I paid $52. Cash and card are accepted. If you pay with cash, however, it's cheaper. They do have an ATM available on site if you don't have cash with you. It does tend to get busy between 5pm-closing so expect a wait if you stop by after work. On Saturday mornings, there are usually customers lining up outside. Make sure you arrive early and sign in if you want a specific technician.

I've been back and forth about posting this for a while because this place checks all the right…read moreboxes. They're clean, their schedule is organized and they don't overbook, they take appointment deposits, etc. The manager/owner is very nice and very skilled. My first time there He immediately helped take off my gel while my nail tech was getting the table set up. He also gave me some great advice about general nail maintenance and cuticle maintenance. I think my techs name was Alex, I don't remember what the managers name was. I asked for sunflowers on a black background and asked him if this was something he could do. He insisted he could and I let him know that it was completely okay if he couldn't because I had a backup design. He ended up not being able to do it and had to ask another tech to do it. They came out more like daisies than anything and I wasn't thrilled but I didn't want to hold up the appointment behind me by asking them to redo it. The worst part of this was when he started clipping my cuticles, he cut the entire side of my finger. Not just a little nick...the cuticle clippers took a chunk out of my finger. He apologized and I said it was okay because mistakes happen, but it happened AGAIN. Two chunks taken out of two fingers. (See in pictures below) To me this is unacceptable. I also asked him to be very careful with the silver drill tip because I didn't want to be cut. He cut me anyway and then said it's because my cuticles were dry. The cut was deep, it had nothing to do with dryness. I considered returning at a later date and just asking the manager to do my nails, but I can't ever go back here.

DO NOT RECOMMEND JULIE IS HORRIBLE AND A BULLY!!!!! I came here to get my nails done before I went…read moreon a trip in Cali and the lady Julie was very rough with my nails. I showed her a picture of coffin nails with a pink tip on them and she decides to just ignore what I show her and keep my nails almond when I specifically told her I wanted the new shape. I did not want to ask her to reshape them, considering she was already being passive aggressive towards me when I asked her if she could do the nails, I showed her in the picture it felt like she didn't want to even do them at all. Her attitude was disgusting and she'll make you feel like you're in the wrong for asking for what you want. She finished doing my nails and I left somewhat happy because I thought they were pretty enough but when I showed up to work, everyone told me to go back and get them redone because I couldn't see the scuff mark she left on my tips and my nails were already scratched up, forming these weird bubbles at the top. So I came back the next day to ask her to just redo them and to shape them how I wanted her to shape the mind you she charged me $50 for short almond nails with a white tip on them and I even tipped $10 for them. She proceeded to yell at me saying none of her customers ever came back to her, asking her to redo nails and that I'm the first one as she was just so out of proportion acting crazy yelling at me in front of others and even when I was the last one in the shop basically telling me that there's nothing wrong with clearly there was even the first lady when I walked in there she saw there was something wrong with my nails and called her over. Even though Julie had no clients from 5 to 7 PM. She had an attitude with me when she should be grateful. I even came to see someone so terrible as a nail artist if that's what she wants to call herself. The entire time when she was doing my nails, she was digging into my skin. She even left me on my skin. She was even filing my nails so hard and this was because she was angry and she didn't treat me that way yesterday. It hurt to the point where I wanted to cry also the entire time she was speaking to the other woman who has some sort of skin problem. I don't know her name, but I'm gonna call her out because she was sitting there half the time that I was getting my nails done and sure they were talking about me. At the end, she has the audacity to ask me to give her five more dollars because she made my nails shorter. AFTER SHE ASKED ME THIS HER FRIEND STARTED LAUGHING ON SOME BULLY BEHAVIOR.! I should've just not gave her the five dollars and asked her to take it out of her tip from them day before because she was nowhere near deserving of even getting a tip. IT TOOK HER CLOSE TO AN HOUR TO JUST DO FRENCH TIPS SHE CANNOT DO FRENCH TIPS JUST ADMIT THAT YOU CANT AND DONT REDO THEM FIVE TIMES OVER ON A SINGLE NAIL!!! Do not go to Julie if you want someone who is half blind to do your nails I feel bad for those who are her clients. They are probably older age and don't even notice the mistake she makes and she makes everything such a pain to just fix. If you can't be criticized, honestly, you shouldn't even be working in a nail salon. You should be somewhere practicing how to do nails because I have never been more disgusted with somebody who can't do nails and complains when someone comes back to get the nails redone because you've never learned to properly do nails. Julie do better and do us all a favor and get off that chair and go back to nail school. One more thing to add, she had the audacity to tell me that my nails were messed up already before I even came there which defeats the purpose of me even coming to you to fix my nails because if you claim you're so good at what you did on my nails The day before then why couldn't you even fix what I brought you? You know you're in the wrong Julie do not go to her if you want your nails to look like somebody did them while blindfolded And to torture your nails even more by digging into your skin just because she's mad. Get some new glasses, Julie and maybe be considering renewing your license being a nail tech.
