We were greeted quickly with friendly smiles and went right to business. The salon is very clean, well lit and quiet; perfect for a relaxing self care visit. I had a pedi and daughter had mani-pedi. We also received bottles of water which we really appreciated after the previous errands. This place is a gem! The cost of service also provided excellent value: mani/pedi for $50! Also, we each received good quality flip flops to protect our pedi. How have I missed this salon in the past? This is my new Go-to nail salon!

Grateful that they were able to take me and my partner for gel pedicures! Tv was playing Jeopardy and then Wheel of Fortune (love!), the tech doing my pedicure was a little rough on my big toe (semi-ingrown toenail situation) but my skin didn't bleed, unlike at some other salons. I was overall grateful for the digging underneath the top of the nail to get out the gunk. Good selection of colors for both gel and regular polishes. The tech checked in with me periodically through the pedi to make sure I was ok (did I want my nails shorter, if I liked the color, was the water temp ok...the usual questions). Location and parking is very easy and plentiful, I'll definitely be back!

I have an upcoming trip this weekend and I went in today to get a soak off, new set, and a…read morepedicure. I was seen and one of the lady's told me "we'll take your nails off, and if it hurts too much then we'll do a soak off instead". I was shocked and confused by this, but I continued with the service. The technician then ripped my nails off one by one. She placed a nail tip underneath my existing acrylic and used a fast, ripping motion to remove my nails. By the second nail I saw tons of blood, which she just said "I'm so sorry" and continued to rip my other ones off. I then looked closer at my bleeding middle finger to find multiple layers of my nail ripped off - completely uninhabitable for a nail tip to be put on for my new set. The entire experience of her ripping my nails off was extremely painful. I then told them I no longer wanted the service, just to please remove the remaining polish. She then, without letting me know, put a huge squeeze of nail glue on my open wound in my nail. It burned so bad and my nail was throbbing for a couple hours following. I am extremely heartbroken and disappointed. I wanted to have my nails done for this weekend, and not only did she damage my nails and ruin them completely, she took away the ability to even get my nails done for a few months until I let my nail heal. I understand mistakes happen - and I'm not sensitive to having a small cuticle cut every once in a while - but this was pure mistreatment. I am fully capable of taking my own nails off at home, which is why I choose to go to the salon and get a gentle soak off instead. I never once felt listened to nor felt cared for as a customer.

I stumbled across this place by accident. I went in and explained my predicament, and showed them my nails. I was reassured that they would do a better job and win me over, and they did!

I don't want to tell you his name (ahem, Kevin) because I don't want you all to flock over and steal him... he's mine! But I'm willing to share. Seriously, everyone is good and I'm not saying that to preserve him (Kevin) all to myself. The store is clean, visually appealing and welcoming. The perfect gem!

I visited Sparkle Nails a few days ago for my usual pedicure. I've been a loyal customer for years,…read moreeven at their previous location, but unfortunately I won't be returning. During my pedicure, the technician clipped my skin with the cuticle nippers--not just a small nick, but a deep cut that bled badly and was painful. While she apologized, my main concern was infection, especially since she tried to continue as if nothing happened. I had to call the owner over due to a language barrier, and she took over the cleaning part of the service. Afterward, I was offered an $8 discount, then $15, and finally $20 after I raised concerns about the service. I still paid $50, which will be the last money I spend there. The owner's response--especially walking away--left a very poor impression. Given the injury, the service should have been fully comped. I would have continued as a customer, but due to how the situation was handled, I shan't be returning !!

This is my Mom's go to spot for getting her nails done. They are LONG and she keeps them that way…read more She's got her favorite person and goes to her every time. If she's not there, no nails will be done! Ha! So, she needed to get her nails done because one was coming off. I tagged along for a pedicure. I made an appointment with whoever was available. When we got there, we both checked in and I headed for the bathroom. It was clean. Mom's nail tech was running behind so we waited. After a while they had me sit in a pedicure chair, while Mom still waited. The place is bright & airy. And even though it was quite busy, it didn't feel like we were packed in their like sardines. The woman completing a pedicure for a customer in the chair next to me asked me some questions to keep me engaged. Finally, I got a male tech. Mom said she though he was one of the owners or something. Either way, I didn't wait terribly long. He was a professional. Asked me if I was ticklish, which I am. He also worked around my healing, broken pinky toe. I'm sure I'll be back when visiting Mom and she has an appointment.
