I appreciate their honesty in what they could or couldn't do with specific nail art. They were willing to try some designs, but said they hadn't done certain elements before and didn't want me to be disappointed. I found that really nice and could easily pivot. I loved my nails! Lance did a really great job with the designs and it was a very pleasant experience!

Love, love, love Suite Nails!…read more I've been coming to this nail salon for quite some time now, and I've always enjoyed my visits. Each appointment feels like a quick spa retreat. All of their nail techs are very talented, kind, and thorough. I've had the pleasure of working with Amy and Titi. Amy is a dip powder pro. In addition to knowing how to apply dip powder so well, she's my favorite when it comes to nail prep and cleaning. I always appreciate the time she takes to properly clean and prep my nails before the dipping part begins. Titi is an artist. She's become my newer favorite tech when I want to get creative and add fun nail designs to my manicures. She specializes in recreating the most beautiful designs--Pinterest is no match for her. I truly appreciate the time and dedication Titi puts into her nail art, always making sure I'm happy with the final result. I also love the pedicures here, primarily due to how extremely relaxing they are. There are plenty of options and enhancements to turn your pedicure into a complete spa experience for your feet, but I really appreciate never feeling pushed to choose a specific upgrade--just whatever feels right that day. Whether it's gel or dip powder, my manicures typically last ~4 weeks, and my pedicures almost always last 5-6 weeks before looking like they need a touch-up. Excellent value. Because this is such a wonderful nail spa, they're usually pretty booked, so making an appointment is recommended. It's an excellent place for a girls' day or a well-deserved solo treat.

She basically rounded out my toenails and kept digging deeper. This is like the perfect cut to create an ingrown toenail and lucky me it's on all of my toes. I'm hoping this isn't the norm, but I am extremely disappointed and annoyed with my experience.

I really wanted to give this new salon a chance, but unfortunately this was one of the worst nail…read moreexperiences I've had. When I called to make my appointment, I was VERY specific about what I wanted: long, sharply pointed stiletto nails. I know this is a more difficult shape to do well, which is exactly why I asked BEFORE booking whether they had someone who could do them. I was told, "Yep, no problem." Based on that, I booked my appointment for 3:00. I actually arrived early hoping they might be able to get me in sooner. They couldn't, which was completely fine--I waited for my scheduled appointment. I also showed the technician a picture of exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, what I received looked absolutely nothing like the photo or the long, pointed stiletto shape I had specifically asked about when booking. There was essentially no shape to them. They looked like Chiclets sitting on my nails, not long, sharp stilettos. The application was also extremely rough. While filing, the technician caught my nail several times and hurt me badly enough that I physically pulled my hand away three separate times. One of my natural nails is now peeled back and damaged from how aggressively it was filed and caught. At that point I should have gotten up and walked out, but because this is a new salon, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and let her finish. As soon as I left, I tried calling the salon because I was so unhappy and wanted to discuss getting my money back. Nobody answered, so I left a voicemail. After being hurt multiple times during the service, I absolutely did not feel comfortable going back and having the same technician touch my hands again. Instead, I literally drove straight from this salon to another nail salon and had the entire brand-new set soaked off immediately. They were that bad. What is especially frustrating is that I specifically asked BEFORE making the appointment whether they could do this particular shape because I know not every nail technician can. If they had simply told me they weren't comfortable doing long, pointed stilettos, I would have completely understood and booked somewhere else. The entire experience gave me the impression that the priority was volume over quality. I paid for a set I couldn't even leave on my hands, immediately had to pay another salon to remove it, and was left with damage to my natural nail in the process. I tried to handle this directly with the business before posting a review, but I couldn't get anyone on the phone and left a voicemail. Unfortunately, based on the quality of the work, the painful service, and the fact that I specifically confirmed beforehand that they could provide what I was requesting, I cannot recommend this salon and I will not be returning.

I was visiting my boyfriend's family in Chaska, and this salon was right down the street, so I decided to get a Gel-X set. I showed them the photo I wanted, and the girl doing my nails was the owner's daughter. She told me the starting price would be $55--keep that in mind. Right from the beginning, she had a really difficult time removing my old nails. She took the foil off, filed multiple times, and even kept grazing my fingers with the drill. Then she started applying the new nails, but the placement was wrong on several of them. She had to remove and redo around four different nails by filing and drilling them off again. The whole time, her mom was talking to her in another language, so I have no idea what was being said, but it was obvious she was struggling. At this point, it had already been an hour and a half, and we hadn't even started painting or shaping the nails yet. I considered asking them to stop, but honestly, removing everything would've taken another 45 minutes, and my fingers were already so sore that I just wanted it to be over. Once she finally started painting, my fingers were incredibly tender. The polish is basically see-through, so you can see my natural nails underneath. The French tips are uneven on both sides, and several of the nails are slightly crooked. By the time she finally finished, I had been sitting in the salon for almost four hours. I was already upset, but I still paid because I'm terrible at standing up for myself. Then, to make it even worse, the owner suddenly changed the price from the original $55 to $60. When I questioned it, she just laughed it off and said she had "already taken $5 off for new clients." That made no sense because I was originally quoted $55 to begin with. It felt dismissive, especially after everything that had happened. I left with sore fingers, poorly done nails, and after spending four hours there, I was beyond frustrated. I would not recommend this salon. Based on my experience, they clearly weren't prepared to do the service, and I didn't feel like they cared about how uncomfortable or disappointed I was.

Oh man ... I don't like leaving a bad review for small salons, especially since I wanted this to be…read moremy new salon since moving to the area in October. But I have to leave this review. The ladies were nice, but this is the worst quality salon work I've ever had and it makes me upset how much money I wasted and that this was the manicure and pedicure I had for my anniversary celebration. I went for gel manicure and gel pedicure on Friday, November 19. My gel manicure is already toast just a week later. Three of my nails are severely chipped and since they didn't do a good job removing my cuticles, the start of the grow out looks awful. Super disappointing. They also do dry cuticle removal, which was the first time I've had that done and I wouldn't do that again. I'm sure they'll say it's better for your cuticles, but it doesn't do the job. Also, the colors I picked out for the manicure both had something wrong with them. The glitter she couldn't get to come out and the burgundy gel color I picked wasn't curing and was wiping off after the top coat and cure. The color I ended up with isn't what I was looking for. But it was too late at that point. As far as the pedicure, there was a small amount of gel polish that needed to be removed. I was fine with paying for the removal. Instead of properly removing all of it, she cut my toe nail down so short to get the remaining gel off that it hurt immediately. Luckily it didn't bleed, but it was so raw that the hot towel at the end of the pedicure was painful and it hurt to wear shoes or socks for the next few days. I have an appointment at my previously nail salon that I have decided I will just have to make worth the half hour drive after moving away. And, unfortunately, this appointment is way sooner than necessary after getting a gel manicure anywhere. I reached out to the salon via Instagram message and the email they provide for contacting on November 20. I didn't get a reply to either message. Update: It is Dec. 21 and I still have not received a reply from this salon. Safe to say I will not go back for a redeeming effort.
