I have been going to Sugarcoat for over 3 years - during this time, I have never, ever experienced anything other than friendly, professional, personalized and excellent service. It might be because I'm not high maintenance or it could be because they are just that good. My money is that they are just that good. The salon is conveniently located in the Fred Meyer center at Linder and Chinden, next to the UPS store and Nick's. It's a little tucked away, but once you find it, it's not easily forgotten. I am welcomed in every time that I come (which has always been on time - it's important to be punctual here as they are very busy!), usually by Phi. On my most recent visit, I booked a mommy-daughter pedicure and they ensured that our chairs together. The new chairs are quite fancy...very comfortable and I love that the massage options are easy to select and understand. We chose the deluxe pedicure with regular nail polish at $55. It was well worth the price considering how masterful Phi trimmed my nails, cuticles and then moved on to the multi-level scrubs, massage, heels and painting. I felt utterly pampered. What a wonderful experience. I would recommend over and over again! read more

Absolutely worst customer service I have EVER experienced. The owner is so rude and I will never go back to this place. I've heard several people complain every time I'm in there about how bad it is. Too many other places to go to in the area, I have no desire to give them my business again. My mom walked out in tears she was mortified over how badly she was treated. read more

This place they will treat you with disrespect and discuss. If you dislike anything about your nails they will ask you to leave. I came in here for a few months only to be treated like a shit. They talk about you in there language like you can't understand them. But for me I always have my ear piece in. Shameful. I tipped over 30% everytime I came in. I spend over $600 in a 6 week span between all my girls and myself. I am paying for a service I want my nails done the right way not the shitty way. You can't request the same person and Pedi's are hit and miss. My toe nails are so thin they just tear. Paint so think I asked for no paint just to avoid the mess. I can put up with a lot of things but the rude abrasive behavior. No it's a joke this place. It will take a long time for my toes to recover. I regret spending such money as I did there. Trust the reviews. read more

Chairs were great. Pedicure not so much - both of my big toes are still bleeding. My nails were cut on the sides after I specifically asked her not to do that. Top coat didn't cover all the way either. Boooo!!!!! read more

Absolutely do NOT recommend this salon. There is no accountability and no customer service. They treat you like a means of funds only and run themselves salon as a sweat shop salon in and out no care for quality only quantity. Piss poor work after charging what they charge and can not take any requests otherwise you offend them. Rarely truly kind to you as a customer of theirs. Treated as if you're a bother for coming in. The gentlemen also told me my toe nails needed to be shorter to look better. They looked too long, and he "prefers shorter toe nails". This treatment in general happened on more than a few occasions. They have had many opportunities to change my opinion and have not. read more

Communicating was very difficult, but not unusual. The quality of work from the young lady who did my pedicure was very poor. My nails are supposed to be square across the top and rounded on the edges. They're just cut square and very short. There was minimal cuticle work done and so much not done that the polish looks horrible. The polish actually came off within 30 minutes. This is probably because when I pointed out the issues, she tried to fix the cuticle work after the nails were painted and ended up with kind of a mess. Believe it or not I tipped on this because I just needed to get out. I'll try to post a picture. As a follow-up, I am going on a trip tomorrow and can't get into another salon to get my nails fixed. I stopped at Walmart and bought an entire manicure kit and new polish. Getting home and actually looking at how horribly the work was done, I wish I would have just told them that they needed to redo it because it is so bad. I understand that they've gotten some good reviews, but if you get the young lady that I got, please just wait for someone else. I wish I knew her name, because you may walk out needing more work done than when you went in. read more

Sugar coat is my go to nail salon in the treasure valley. It's clean, they do a great job and I would share the name of my nail guy but he's already too busy.. sorry for gate keeping, but he's the best! Their staff is funny and friendly. I highly recommend. read more

After moving here a few years ago I tried several nail salons and was never really happy! I came upon Sugarcoat just randomly and a few years later I'd never go anywhere else! Ruby is awesome... does the best mani/ pedi and is so nice, so pleasant! When Ruby happened to be out of town for awhile I had Q ( wrong spelling) as well as Hannah . They did amazing work as well and were so friendly . Hannah and Phi actually know me on a first name basis which is very much appreciated! read more

I have had a standard mani/Pedi here 2x and both experiences were great. First, this is conveniently located by the UPS store in Fred Meyer center on Linder. This is one of the cleanest nail salons around. The chairs are newer with all the massage settings. The decor is tasteful. The staff are professional and focused on taking care of their client. I just had a regular manicure (no color) and a pedicure. I appreciate that I could stay in same seat for both services. I was pleased with the quality of the service, cuticles were nicely trimmed and nail shape and finish was perfection. Price is comparable to other salons in the TV of lesser quality. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Mani pedi was good. Ruby gave a nice message and did a great job! The message chairs are great too!

Called in today to see if they could fit me in for a pedicure and they told me to come in at 3. I got there and it was pretty busy but they still got me in and took amazing care of me. They spent about an hour on my pedicure and I couldn't feel more relaxed. Thank you for taking your time and caring about your work. I will not go anywhere else now because I love coming here so much. Thank you again! read more

I usually love this place and have always just gone with whoever is available. However, today was a very different experience. I had booked my appointment 3 weeks in advance, but when I arrived, my appointment was written down wrong and I ended up with two different technicians. Unfortunately, neither did a good job. The gels weren't fully removed before polish was applied, polish was left all over my cuticles, and my nails were filed completely crooked. On top of that, the service was $70, which felt way too high for the quality I received. Really disappointed this time around. read more

Seems like every time I'm running behind and don't have time to request a specific tech I always get stuck with the one person I don't like. She's pleasant but my pedicure is always crappy. It's hard to capture in a picture on my phone but Bubbles, uneven painting/streaking. I like the salon and don't want to find another but it's such a waste of money. I'm only giving it a second star because she's nice. read more

This place is lacking professionalism. Nail tech refused to swatch two colors on my nails, when I asked why she said "because then I'll have to take off and start over". I mentioned this was for my bridal photos so I'd like to see two maybe three shades on. She became frustrated and yanked my hand towards her, slapped one color on and said "there"! When I said I don't want to do this and needed someone else to ring me up, she told me to walk over to get the owner myself. I told them I wasn't paying for a polish change because she was treating me horribly. "If you don't have money just say that, she don't have money for filing", other nail techs, including Hannah Tran, chimed in and said "oh you're just having a bad day". She also was complaining that the salon did not work as a team. Pretty evident today that they do not care about the customer experience. The poor lady who did my pedicure did a good job and I feel bad she has to work in such a toxic environment. Nasty vibes in here, nail techs please don't give your clients attitude! It was insane. read more

This place is really cute & clean. They are very accommodating and don't rush you. The basic pedicure is $40 for regular and $50 for gel. It's a good one with a decent massage. I'll definitely be back! read more

Upon arriving all was well .. my experience slowly but surely went down hill ... I asked for a nude nail with a bit of sparkles but upon putting it was orange .. I asked after the first coat if that was the right color and she said yes ... & then comes the second . My nails were clearly orange and I asked for them to be fixed .. I was then transferred to another gal and she treated me horribly like I did something wrong .. I took a picture of the swatch next to my nails before starting and it was not even close .. she was very mean and said they don't have time to redo ... & I'd have to come back tomorrow which I was fine with - i just wanted those nails off .. she ended up redoing but not in a professional manner. & to top this whole experience off I got an INFECTION in my BIG LEFT TOE from the PEDICURE!!' Very bummed about this experience.. Update - just left the urgent care & confirmed the toe infection... 165$ for the office visit and 15 for the antibiotic ointment.. read more

Fantastic dip here, unlike a couple other salons around Eagle and Boise. Thanks Sugarcoat!

Will not return. Made an appointment, 45 minute wait once arrived. Mani/Pedi Gel. Nails not even, asked for rounded, barely. Nails looked ugly wide, as well as polish. One nail broke 4 days later. One man was really helpful with pick your color. Rated 1 of course. read more

Awesome, beautiful & wonderful salon! I'm currently 37w pregnant & everyone was sooo nice & helpful, helped me get settled into my chair, helped me step up & down from the step up section, & the young gal who did my pedicure gave me the best, & I mean best foot massage ever , will be going back for the pedicures for sure!! read more

Just wanted to get on here and speak my truth. I've been getting my nails done with girlfriend Hannah since I moved here last here. She's very to herself and I don't mind because I like my nail time to be my getaway time. So we sit in front of each other for an hour, she does my nails, I pay +tip and leave. I recently made a last minute appointment, things came up and I forgot about this appointment. When they called me I felt really bad for not showing up. The receptionist asked if I wanted to reschedule which I did but then Hannah said something to her and she said "Hannah will not be seeing you anymore." Let me be clear when I say I haven't missed any other appointments and MOST of the time I go in for my appointments, I wait past my appointment time. What would've been a more respectable response in my opinion would be to charge me a cancelation fee. THAT I would understand from a professional standpoint and THAT I would respect. But this... totally disrespectful and unprofessional. read more

My daughter and I were looking for a nail salon. I am new to the area and came across sugarcoat nails. They were friendly, welcoming, and the location was very clean. My daughter wanted to get French tips with a design while I opted for the pedicure. Both were great and we were so happy to have found a location not too far from home! read more

I've been going to Hannah and Phi for over 2 years now. Their professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched. Unlike other salons, my nails/acrylics are never crooked and I never have complaints. If you need a fix between fills, they're very accommodating. My favorite service is the pedicures with Hannah. The relief I get with my ingrown nails cannot be put into words. If you've tried this place in the past and weren't satisfied, DEFINITELY give them another chance since they're under new ownership!! read more

I've been going to Phi for about 2 years now and he is spectacular at both dip manicures and gel pedicures. His attention to detail and perfectionist nature is unmatched. I really appreciate consistency in the quality of his work. I get so many compliments every time I get my nails done. Plus, my dip manicures last a full 3 weeks with no chipping and my pedi gel manicures last for weeks as well. read more

I just had Worst nail experience here. I came in for a gel polish change on my acrylics. I chose DND's Wineberry as a shade which is a solid color but when the girl applied the polish, there was glitter all on my nails, I'm assuming from previously mixing that color with glitter for a client. I asked her to remove the polish because it was supposed to be a plain color and was not supposed to have glitter and she tried leaving the color on to repaint over it? It looked awful. There was no attention to detail at all and very sloppy work. I told her to just remove all the color and had to walk out with my acrylics unpainted and was still charged $36. Never coming back and would not recommend- luckily I was able to dispute the transaction with my bank and get my money back. read more

Excellent, it was my first visit for a set of acrylic nails. Hannah (the sister) gave me beautiful nails and listened to all my wants

I have had good experiences at the Salon was happy to finally find a really great place, but Then Trin left and when I came in to get the same dip in French the person who did the Nail dip had no idea what she was doing. It looked like a 3rd grader applied the dip. But, To rectify the situation I was only charged $125.00 for a horrible nail experience. The Person also did my pedicure which was gel and did a good job on that, but I hope no One else has this same experience! VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED. read more

I go to Sugarcoat every 3 weeks for an acrylic fill and always have the most friendly reception and great results. My acrylic never lifts and the finish coat is beautiful. I also regularly have pedicures at Sugarcoat and they show great attention to detail and are meticulously clean and thorough. I recommend Sugarcoat to all my friends without any hesitation. read more

Hannah T has been doing my nails for over 3 years. She is amazing and my nails have never looked better. The staff is also very pleasant and friendly. Beautiful nail salon with excellent customer service. read more

Its been good in the past and I recommend them to everyone, but Im beginning to hesitate. The older gal with shoulder length hair that i had the last several times is just awful. She rushes, goes through the motions and is so rough. I asked her not to cut short, she agrees but does the opposite. She always turns my chair off too. I turn it on, she turns it back off. It feels almost like shes angry. I get the premium sugarcoat too pedi but its more the express car wash at costco. No actual care, just rush rush rush. Scrubs me so hard like a brillo o Pad on a filthy burnt copper pan. Hey lady, thats my actual skin your scrubbing and scrapping. Then for the massage, it was a like I could not feel her hands. How do you go from roughing me up with your tools and then barely petting for massge???My favorite thing about this place is no longer relevant. Not special. No more amazing attention to detail. Just turn and burn. Ugh. Im not sure Ill be back! Id have to find who to ask for. read more

It was my first time at sugarcoat nail studio. After my pedicure was finished, I noticed that the gentleman who did my nails did not completely get rid of all the cuticles on my big toe. And it looks really bad. When I asked if someone could fix it, they told me no and basically said we don't care if you're happier or not because we have enough business we don't need yours. Shocked and I will not be here again. Very very rude. read more

100% would recommend this family-run salon in Meridian. You can find them at Chinden and Linder next to the UPS store. Immaculately clean and friendly staff. Probably best to call ahead for an appointment as the word is out and they are usually busy. I have been doing dip manicures and gel pedis and I'm extremely happy with the quality of their work. read more

I had a 10 am appointment. I was 2 minutes late. They gave my appointment away. I was told they called me twice. I showed call log on phone. Yep no call. They still got in my face and backup from other employee telling me I was late. I'm like it was 2 minutes. They treated me unprofessional and then proceeded to tell me to wait. They did this is all in front of all the clients. I would have walked out but was going out of town in two days. Will not be returning. Do you know how many nail salons are around? Get a grip!! You treat people like this you won't be in business long!!! I will tell everyone I know. DO NOT USE!!! read more

Frustrated paying $50 for a poor pedicure. No massage and paid for extras i did not receive. I would be happy to pay $75-80 for a pedicure if they do a good job, but here, I really feel I was ripped off. Sadly, I will not be returning. read more

Hannah is the best! I love every service I have received from here. Hannah has done my nails (gel polish) and I have received a pedicure. I would recommend them for sure. I don't like my toes to have the electric file on them and they respected that. My toe nails are so thin from other places, so the fact they listened to me was super nice. read more

Pros: Clean. New. No strong odors. Ok prices. Cons: Attitude of staff. We scheduled 3 pedicure appointments, arrived a few minutes before our appointment and were barely greeted when we walked in. We stood around, awkwardly, for a few minutes before being seated. The pedicures were ok, nothing great. Price was $40 for the basic which is what we chose once we realized the staff did not seem to want to be doing the job. It's also very poor customer service to speak another language, which was done quite frequently, during our visit. Good customer service is everything and this place failed. We won't return. read more
