    Natural final results
    Dolores T.

    Even though this place does amazing pedicures I wasn't pleased with my nail experience. I originally asked for a clear acrylic to have a see through effect with chrome French but had to settle for a natural almond shape nails. Don't get me wrong staff was great to express they didn't have the material to provide what I was asking for but I would've settled with a gel silver French tip. I recommend if you only want a solid color this is your place for nails but if you're looking for something particular make sure to communicate before you get towards the end and start reconsidering a second nail look. The service jumping from pedicure to manicurist does have a waiting time to be serviced but they do provide you a drink as you wait. I will definitely continue to get pedicures here.

    I am filing a formal complaint against Solar Nails regarding a serious injury I sustained during a service on 11/12/25. I visited the salon to receive a pedicure and a full set. During my pedicure, the technician--identified as "Bob"--began removing calluses from my feet using a cheese grater-style tool. Initially, this was not an issue, but he continued using the tool while distracted and looking away. As a result, he sliced the entire side of my big toe, removing a significant portion of skin. The wound bled heavily for over 20 minutes. Despite this, the technician attempted to have me place my injured toe back into the same pedicure water, which was clearly contaminated. I refused due to the risk of infection. The staff then applied multiple bandages, which had to be replaced several times because I continued to bleed through them. Without my consent, they later applied liquid bandage to the open wound, causing extreme pain. Following the incident, they attempted to offer a free pedicure as compensation, seemingly to discourage me from filing a complaint. This experience was traumatic and completely unacceptable. The staff demonstrated a lack of proper training and basic hygiene protocols, resulting in a severe and preventable injury.

    Very good service from Bentley he's very fast and friendly. He's also very attentive has very good customer service .

    I asked for a thin French tip just close to the edges.  She left it thick as hell

    I called asking for an appointment, they said come in. I went in for a full set myself and a pedi for my daughter. The lady in the front who seems to be the owner cut me twice. She was too busy trying to take the walk ins and to charge the clients that were done. She kept leaving me sitting there. I paid 75$ for short nails and 35 for my daughter's toes. My nails were sloppy. I asked for a thin white French tip. It's thick as hell. My bill came to 105 I gave here 115 so the tip would be 3 and 3 wich they still didn't deserve. She returned me 2$. I don't recomen it. They didn't cut my daughter's toes and when I asked they looked frustrated.

    Worst nails ever Paid 80 for my nails and nails look terrible This is the last time I will go here And the techs torture my boyfriend with a super rough massage and he was trying to hard to be polite When we left he said "why would you want them to hurt you like that" and he explained the tech as literally trying to hurt him in front of me Go to Elsa nails down the street they are way better and nicer

    Again ... he'll polish all over my fingers.

    This is the worst manicure/pedicure I have ever had gotten. Like ever... aside from rushing the service is was sloppy. I don't know how they dare to up charger you for anything. DO NOT COME HERE FOR ANYTHING! $73 for a poorly done gel mani and regular pedicure. No freaking way. I asked for my natural nails to only be filed down and this man cuts them and tries to tell me it's better for my nail. He also tried to leave them pointy corners. I'm so saddened that I didn't decline or stopped him from continuing the service. Again... DONT COME HERE AT ALL! BAD PLACE!

    my thin nails after the tech had drilled them so hard and intensely. a picture can't even do it justice how thin they are.

    0/5 stars if i could. awful. i came in for a soak off and left in tears. i was asked why only a soak off, to which i replied because im trying a new tech and wanted to have a fresh base. The man doing my soak off started drilling harder when i had asked him not to drill at my natural nail hard. the lady next to him chimed in and started going off on me. scoffing, rolling her eyes, commenting. they're the ones who asked first of all, and second it doesn't matter what i choose to do i am still paying them for the service regardless?? they're getting my money over anyone else?? i got up after, the guy who did my soak off was extremely rude, got up and walked away immediately after he put the drill down. when i was done, i was talking to another customer in there and the front desk lady swarmed me and started going off on me. calling me a bad girl over and over. looking angrily at me. right next to me she was up on me going off, not screaming but she was passive aggressive telling i was not welcome and to not come back. i felt unsafe with three of their workers ganging up on me. I had said it's my choice what i decide to do with my money. and i was still paying them and choosing to pay them for that service. no matter what they were getting paid so im confused. my nail tech doesn't ever go off on me for getting my toes done elsewhere. i felt unsafe, and honestly isolated in that place. everyone involved was extremely unprofessional. i have never experienced that before. the lady kept calling me a bad girl over and over and shaming me. i have gone here for years with my family, for toes mainly but still. to have no respect for their own company to start an argument with a paying customer is beyond me. listen to the reviews. awful company and awful rude employees. they don't care if they get business or not. the way they treat their customers is disgusting. never going here again.

    The updated entrance.

    I've been coming to this nail salon for years and every time, the service has been amazing. They are courteous, friendly and welcoming. I always leave satisfied with my nails and pedicure. Recently, they remodeled and the place looks great, the staff offers complimentary drinks while we are being serviced which is nice. For anyone looking for a nail salon in the east side of town, this is the place to go.

    It was okay.. If u have sensitive nails don't come here cuz there ruff but they'll manage

    The gentleman that did my pedicure did fine. Although I had requested for a gel full set that gentleman that did, did not know what he was doing. Before he even applied acrylic I specified I wanted almond shape nail and they are all round. Also two of the nails are crooked and he said once I apply acrylic and shape them it will be fixed and even after I mentioned it was crooked and he said it's your finger that is doing that. I did say I have had nails before and never had this problem. He made the acrylic to watery and kept caking it on. The bottom of nails had thick layers that he had to drill it away after it was done. And i requested French tip with one thick line and then a smaller line below and he said I don't think I can do that but I can try. But at the end he didn't do it because he couldn't do it. My nails are ugly he kept saying to trust the process. I hate that the photo don't show you had bad they look. Very uneven and oddly shaped

    New full acrylic set

    Ivy is an artist! She does such an amazing job. She is so polite and patient with me when I come in without an idea of what I want. She always has pictures for me to choose from or let's me bring in my own for reference. I always get almond acrylics, and I'm never disappointed. Book with Ivy, and you won't be either! She deserves way more than 5 stars.

    Disappointment..
    Dna N.

    Repeatedly said no gems she still put gems. Nails is lifted can see glue. All around the hearts you can see glue that I didn't want in the first place nails have dirt in them and are lifted and crooked. I asked her to fix them and she got upset with me.

    I've debated leaving this review for a couple of weeks because I've never felt so disrespected at a…read morebusiness. I called Studio B Salon about 4-5 days before my desired appointment (a Saturday) to book an 8 AM slot with Vicki. I even repeated the time twice to make sure we were clear. On the day of my appointment, I arrived a few minutes after 8 AM, but no one was there. I kept calling, but no one answered. I didn't come to the door because the place looked empty, and the broken window made things feel off. Eventually, two ladies approached the door (one of whom I believe was Arlene and her client). When I asked about my appointment with Vicki, Arlene was dismissive, saying, "Well, she's not here, but if you have an appointment, she'll show up." After that, she ignored me, and it was actually her client who kindly let me in and had me sit down. I waited until 9 AM--over an hour after my scheduled appointment--but Vicki still hadn't arrived. When I finally told Arlene I was leaving, she apologized, saying, "I should have called her. I was so focused on my client only." It was disappointing that it took her that long to address my situation. I'm sure these women are talented in their work, but this experience left me feeling completely disrespected. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this, so unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon.

Instead, I walked out with a nightmare: orange, patchy, uneven hair that looks absolutely fried. The stylist clearly had no idea what they were doing, and when I politely expressed my disappointment, the OWNER Matt himself got defensive, rude, and completely unprofessional. Instead of taking responsibility or offering a real solution, he blamed ME, saying "sometimes hair just lifts weird" as if that's a valid excuse for destroying someone's hair! No apology, no accountability, no care. The way the owner handled it was beyond awful, arrogant, dismissive, and frankly, insulting. This place doesn't care about your hair or your experience once they've gotten your money. Save yourself the heartbreak, the damage, and the money it will cost you to fix their mess. There are way better salons out there that actually know what they're doing and treat their clients with respect. Stay far, FAR away from this place!
