*Update* I've been back a few more times and some more thoughts: - very thoughtful customer service. Diana remembered my name after only working on my nails once. Tuan also points out new colors that I might interested in (e.g. color changing gel manicures) - great selection of colors/products - looooong wait times. I went at 4-5 pm on Friday and waited 40 minutes. I left then because there was no end in sight for the line. I returned at 11:30 am Saturday morning and the wait was over 1 hour. I love that they are doing so well but maybe they can institute an online booking system? - I have had my eyebrows done multiple times and they do a great job. I usually get the older lady (Tuan's mother, maybe?). I broke out once or twice so now I ask them not to use the razors. They thread in combination with waxing and tweezing which is perfect. read more

Taday nails was great! I tried them after looking at the reviews online, and they got me in quick for a full set and pedi. Best nail service I've had in years for the price. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The shop is clean and they used a grater to scrape my heels!!! I desperately needed that, and I didn't have to ask for it, nor was it tacked on as an extra service. They take apple pay and zelle which is also super accommodating. Best coffin shape I've ever had. They also didn't cut my fingers while shaping and buffering. I will definitely be back and I recommend you try this place out if you have a chance. read more

This was my first time at this salon and I must say it was nice. I came in at 7:45 I was unaware that they stop accepting customers at 7:30 but they still let me get serviced. I waited no more than 5 minutes and was serviced by Sam. She was really nice. But she was a little to social which caused her to get distracted and be a little rough on my nail beds. I flinched a few times. She did do a great job on my nails though! I really hard when the acrylic is built up on the nail so high making it look swollen and she didn't do that. She didn't pile on the acrylic which made my short stiletto nails look much better. She also did my pedicure and I almost fell asleep it was so nice. She even popped my toes!!!! I love when salons do that it relaxes you more. I brought in my own nail color because I didn't know if that had a good selection but I glanced at the wall and they had so many amazing colors. The owner twan is very popular you can tell by the conversations he was having. And they have a $2 discount per service if you use cash. I paid $41 cash for full set and pedicure. I will definitely be back here. read more

I live nearby but this was the first time I stopped by. The place is clean and the service quick and very meticulous... And I'm super picky about those things. All of the staff were really friendly and they even gave me a mask because the fumes were bothering me. My gel nails are perfectly sculpted and the gentleman that helped me really inspected the shape, length, and eventually polish of each nail. The pedicure was also more than I expected for the price, my feet are suuuper soft. I'm getting lashes also and after seeing the lady in front of me I expect they will be equally impressive! I will definitely be back! read more

I've been going here for about a year, and always get a pedi and no-chip mani. As of a couple of months ago, the salon is under new ownership. There have been many improvements already, and from speaking with the owner, there are more in the works. Atmosphere/decor, customer experience, and quality of service are improved already. Previously I would have given this place 4 stars but I'm giving it 5 now. I'm just hoping the prices will stay reasonable- I've always found the prices to be really great here, so I hope they don't increase by more than a couple of dollars per service. read more

The salon was fast for the service I needed I will return should I have an emergency nail service to be done or if I cannot make it to my regular salon. read more

This may sound dramatic, but Tina literally gave me the best pedicure I've ever had. She took her time and I didn't feel like she was rushing to the next customer despite the place being a little busy. Nancy did my nails (fullset with powder) and she also did a wonderful job. This is the one nail shop that I feel I can trust nearly anyone that services me. They're busy on the weekends, so I go on weekdays where there is typically little to no wait. Very friendly atmosphere. read more

I went to Taday on Tuesday October 17, 2017 for a no chip manicure which cost 30.00. Before I forget, I paid an additional $5.00 for French Tips. I was told that a no chip manicure will last at least 2 weeks. On Friday, October 20, 2017 I returned to Taday because the polish on my left thumb not only chipped but peeled completely off. I was told that they would fix it, but I had to wait for a half hour to 45 minutes and of course I did not. By Sunday, another nail chipped and the polish peeled right off. I know that a GOOD no chip will last 3 weeks. I actually tipped ANDY $10.00 for a 35.00 no chip manicure that only lasted (3) days. Taday lost an excellent customer and I will share my experience with all of my friends. We all work in the area. read more

This nail shop changed owners and it went from so so customer service to real bad service period! Won't go back!

i loved my nails ! sam and sue did a great job with servicing me and making sure i loved my nails ! i will be coming back !

So I was recommended this location after trying to find a decent nail shop closer to my home. I got a no chip manicure on Monday from here and after 2hrs my nails started to chip. I returned the next day and they gladly honored their 7 day guarantee. Well problem is they didn't remove and reapply a fresh coat. They filled and repaired the parts that had chipped. Needless to say here we are again when Wednesday they started to chip all over again. I have not done anything strenuous or with excessive water for my nails to look as they do. So I will not be returning here again. It's a waste of money and time. read more

It's been 3 days and my gel is already starting to come off. The service was fast but maybe a little too fast -- the salon is sacrificing quality to be able to churn out tons of appointments. They do have a 7 day guarantee but I don't live there so there's no way for me to take advantage of that. Won't be returning there ever again. read more

Rude and unprofessional describes the owners treatment of customers. The bathroom was not clean, nor did it have soap nor paper towels. Several times I watched nail techs go into the bathroom (for prolonged periods of time) come out and interact with customers. Disgusting! I had to ask the tech (that did my nails) to wash her hands after she came out of the bathroom. She told me she had washed her hands I said no you didn't because there's no soap in the bathroom. After that she went back to the sink WITH SOAP and washed her hands. I originally picked the salon due to its proximity to my home. Convenience cannot outweigh cleanliness and my safety.. read more

This place should gets no stars. Dirty an inspector should be called and I received some kind of fungus from getting pedicure here. I went back with a friend because she needed her nails done emergency and they were close she wouldn't listen. To my surprise they now don't offer a regular full set. They tried to force her to pay $37 dollars for some kind of powder fullset. She asked why it was so much why don't they offer it. They said it takes too long to dry 30 min and people nails get messed up. She told them she had no problem with dry time. They said no they don't do regular full set, $37 for powder or $45 for no chip. They take advantage of the people in this neighborhood. We should not support them. And they are dirty! read more

I have to give the manicure an A- because of less than stellar work on the cuticles. That said, I have to give an A+ for customer service and attitude. Overall, I am happy with the Mani and Pedi I received, and the friendly attitude was a refreshing change from experiences in other salons over the past several years. Very happy to have Taday Nails in the neighborhood. read more

The guy in the front has this system in his head where he organizes who gets served next... As he should. HOWEVER his "system" is entirely flawed... Just go in and be real flamboyant/extra/ loud then you'll always get to keep your place in line. If you depend on them to take your name being next on the sign in sheet seriously then I'm sorry to tell you, you will be skipped. Especially if your not a very obnoxious person. So just make sure you come in here with a gang of cousins/ girl-friends or just be really obnoxious and I'm sure you'll have a great visit. Honestly their work ethic could be deemed completely "normal" if all other nail salons operated at any level of professionalism... But since most nail salons are 2nd world luxury, then that makes Taday nail spa the best of the worst in comparison, but that's not saying much. Just typical. They are mean. If your basic, you'll love it, I promise. read more

No chip manicures are $27 credit card / $25 cash Pedicures are $22 CC (I think) / $20 cash Underarm wax $15 It's located in a small shopping center so parking is a non-issue. The nail salon is quite large and there were a ton of technicians working. On the flip side, there were also a ton of patrons waiting to be served. I was greeted immediately when I walked in by a guy at the front station. He seemed cool, friendly, asked if it was my first visit and gave me the lay of the land. They keep a notebook on the counter to keep track of the customer order. He also pointed out that they keep the customer list with services provided because they guaranty 1 week on the no-chip, for example. I retorted with the fact that my no-chips typically last at least 2 weeks and my current set had been on for 3! I got him to smile but that was it... LOL. They had a good selection of no-chip colors which was great because sometimes I feel cheated or forced to pick xyz shade because that's all they had. The negative, which I will explain in more detail later, is that I had never, ever, ever heard of any of the "brands" of polish. I raised an eyebrow at that but was nevertheless willing to try out the experience. So I narrowed it down 2 shades and walked to the back to match them with a regular polish for my pedicure. That's when I met Lan. Lan was soooooo sweet. She checked out my selection and was on a mission to find my match! She was on it! Back and forth she went. I just stood there like, word? This is great service. After a few minutes she found the exact shade to match one of the colors. I was sold. They had even labeled the color # from the no-chip polish with the match on the regular polish colors for this very purpose. Then... she noticed that I already had no chip polish on my nails so she started prepping me with the acetone on foil wrap. Excellent. Then... someone came back for an eyebrow wax and I learned that Lan was the "wax lady" too! She was my homey by that point, so I opted to kill time by getting an underarm wax. She used a chocolate wax and did a good job. Mind you my nails were wrapped in foil at this point, so she was really helpful in getting my shirt out of my arm and back without making a mess. LOL. We bonded! I noticed that not only does she do waxing and help customers here and there, she was basically did any other ad hoc work that's needed around the salon. No clue how much time had passed at this point... a lot... but it wasn't bad because I was moving and shaking with Ms. Lan. When I emerged from the wax room, it was my turn at the pedi station! Yesssss! Lewis/Louis (who knows how he spells it LOL) was my technician for my nails. He did a good job in terms of service. He was friendly, although he did make one sideways comment and I wanted to check him at the time but I brushed it off. His station also had the UV light built into his desk. How cool is that? I had never seen that before. The no-name polishes could never allow it to be a 5, but the great service from the guy at the front, Lan and Lewis, and the prices COULD have made it a 4. However, I now have an informed decision about my nails since I waited 1.5 weeks to write my review. Love the color. Hate the quality of the polish - for both the no-chip and regular. I have a small chip on 2 different nails and the surface of the nails look so distressed. A male friend even noticed the difference between my last set (that again, lasted 3 weeks from a spot in Atlanta (yes I reviewed them too!)). He was like... your last polish looked better (not the color, the polish... this coming from a dude who knows nothing about nails!). I didn't even ask for the feedback... homeboy just volunteered it like umm, did you go to the same place? UGH! Not cool. And my pedicure polish has faded and is chipped even more. My regular pedis usually last 2-3 weeks easy! Sheesh. I thought I found a hidden gem and really wanted to like this place more but unless I'm bringing my own OPI or Essie polish for them to use why bother? 4-star for service and price, 2-star for results and quality. I've certainly had better and the fact that I need to get both hands and feet re-done after just 1.5 weeks is unacceptable. I wanted to round up my 2.5 to a 3 but I can't, I just can't. read more

Sooooo....this is what happened. You tell me if this is good work I asked for elegance and they gave me sloppy! And then charged me $52.This is some bull shit.

I have to agree with Ariel, this was not a good experience for me. The manager is not very professional. I'd spoken to him about renting the space for a mani/pedi party. He agreed, told me the cost (discounted 15% for the group) and asked for one week notice. I told him the date on the same day, came back several days later to confirm and work out the details. He then claimed he didn't remember, couldn't offer the discount, would be busy on that day because he was running specials etc., etc. This was a mess since I'd spent the last several days, getting 20 women excited about the idea and collecting deposits! Who does that? Turn down the opportunity to service 20 new customers who pay upfront? Really? No worries, this young manager absolutely does not have to worry about me ever coming back. I went to another shop, explained my dilemma and they were very happy to accommodated our group - and for the same discounted price! Will write a review on that salon after the event. But Taday will not stay in business long if they continue to disregard customer service and take customer satisfaction for granted. read more

I stopped by the salon at 6pm to see what time the salon closed, which it states 8pm! I came back at 7:45pm to get my nails done, soon as I open the door the guy at the first booth yells without looking we are closed. I asked him what did he say he yelled again without looking up and says we are closed. I replied the signs says 8pm, he replied we take our last client at 7:30pm! I replied I'll take my dollars elsewhere, he replied that's fine! This is totally unacceptable if you take your last client at 7:30pm, then your signage should state 7:30pm, not 8pm! I'll take my business elsewhere, a lack of customer service and consideration. I drove 25mins to come to this salon because I am moving to the neighborhood and was told they had a great variety of colors but will absolutely not patronize a company that hs a lack of care for their clients! read more

Great addition to the area. This nail salon has been open approximately 3 weeks according to the staff. It's located adjacent to Harold's and Just Turkey in the same building that once housed a dry cleaning business. Upon entry I was greeted by a friendly gentleman who told me to sign in & take a seat. I waited about 10 minutes to receive a manicure & pedicure. The location is newly constructed so the interior is modern & comfortable. There's are a decent amount of nail polish colors & brands to choose from including OPI. I'd estimate that there are about 8-10 pedicure stations & maybe twice as many manicure tables. I went on a Thursday afternoon & there were 4-5 employees serving a steady stream of customers. My only complaint would be that my manicurist wasn't all that friendly. I suppose it isn't her job to be friendly but she seemed kinda standoffish which was a bit of a turn off. That isn't to say that she didn't do a good job with my mani/pedi though because she did. I'm satisfied with the end result so I'd go back. The mani/pedi was $27. Effective June 1st though there will be a $1 fee if you use a credit card. read more

Came here for a no chip since its close to work and open until 7:30. Tall young skinny guy with glasses did my no chip and did a great job. They were swamped and always are. THIS MEANS THEY DO GOOD WORK. Always busy translates to returning customers. Prices are cheaper than what I pay by my house. I came back a week later to get a pedicure and again totally swamped with customers. I don't mind waiting because I know they will take their time on me. Jennifer did my pedicure and did a great job, even at 6:45pm which is the tail end of her day. If you have the time to wait, come here. Call a day ahead and make an appointment. They won't disappoint. read more

I have been on a quest for "my nail spot" since moving to Hyde Park last Labor Day and I think I've found it. Sandy did my no-chip mani and normal pedi. I went as a walk-in around 6:15 p.m. It was busy and there were about two other ladies waiting. But I did not have to wait too long. I liked the facility, the staff, and the overall experience. Now I just have to see how long the no-chip will last. But, I think I've finally found my "glass shoe." read more

This is my second time here. And today I was in a panic because all the nail shops were crowded. They were too but they have enough ppl so that the wait isn't long. I came right and was seated.

I'll def be back. Keep up the good work. =} read more

If my mani and pedi hadn't taken 1 hour and 1/2 to complete, this place would be rated 5 stars. I came around 4pm on a Friday afternoon (they were surprisingly without many customers) and was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. These ladies and gentleman are quick to take care of you, but my woman was very particular about her work. In the end, I do prefer someone slow paced and excellent versus someone fast paced and sloppy, but I had to get out of there; it's Friday! read more

Do not get your eyebrows done here. The woman who does them was rude as hell and she did a terrible job. I only went because this place is close to home, but I will never come here again. Too crowded and the people are unprofessional. Wish I could give 0 stars read more

Loveeee this place but they're always so crowded on Saturday's!!! I get there as soon as doors open so I don't have to wait too too long. But dang I just wanna sleep in on Saturday mornings sometimes and I can't or I won't get my nails done bc of the wait time! Anyway- My nails always look great and so do my pedicures. I love the main lady that does eyebrows but during my 2nd visit, I noticed she double dipped the stick back in the wax after she waxed my eyebrows. Yuck! Contaminated wax going on open skin! So I'm done with their waxing station from now on. That's not sanitary. 4 stars bc they do great work compared to the rest in the neighborhood. Minus a star bc of cleanliness. read more

I have been on a quest to find a decent nail salon in Hyde Park. Note,I said decent. I think I found it here. They have free parking, but the lot is small. However I did find a nice spot on the street. I was discouraged when I walked in and there were at least 10 women ahead of me. I am in school so I brought plenty to read. After about 15 minutes my name was called and I was pleasantly surprised. I liked that the pedicure bowl had a plastic liner. It appeared that the tools were clean as well because they were unwrapped. They have a good selection and the no chip colors. I decided to go with a dip color. I paid $65 for the dip and a regular pedicure. However I was watching some other people get the deluxe which included either paraffin or a hot stone. I think I will treat myself next time. I am looking forward to visiting again and hopefully I have found "my spot". read more
