I always enjoyed his conversations with his customers. I usually put on my headphones, but we talk the whole time. He is so friendly and professional.

I went on a Wednesday evening and there really wasn't a lot of people there. I definitely will be back to see Lee

Okay so i will be completely honest in this review. Theres some pros and cons to this nail salon…read morebut honestly, I've just accepted the fact that no nail salons in the Calera/Alabaster area fit my expectations and thats okay.. Pros: The man who did my nails did an amazing job. Shaped them the way i wanted and colored them nicely... Cons: Messy aftermath and confusing prices. When i looked at the price list, it said $12 for a color change on toes and 17&up on fill in. Okay cool, im thinking im walking out of there not paying over $40 for a gel fill-in and color change (I know that gel is usually $10-$15 up charge). Lets do the math, 17+15+12= 44 at most. I got charged $51 for a fill in and toe nail change and im a bit confused why? I maybe shouldve asked but regardless, Ill just drive to further location for a nail service, i kinda feel robbed.. ALSO, theres a 3% charge on debit card users? Maybe thats where a little of the extra money came from? I dont know but its weird to me...

I stand behind every word I put in my first review, I'm hoping this isn't going to remove it. While…read moreI was VERY unhappy with my experience there, I will have to say the younger gentleman that usually does the pedicures, does a great job, he is kind, careful and makes sure you're comfortable. The ladies that work there are ok, they do a good job, if you just want tips and paint, anything beyond that is shaky ground. The man is horrible!!! He can put nails on, and if you can overlook his bad attitude, you may walk out satisfied. I did that, the 1st time, now the 2nd time went a little differently...a person that's paying for a service can only take so much. When it got to the point he is basically throwing my hands around, "NO" being his answer to everything, (I asked if he could marble one of my nails, btw marbling isn't that hard) and telling me to hurry up and pick my color, he didn't have time to wait on me to look at the different colors, just pick one! Then got up said some jibber jabber I couldn't understand and walked to the back of the store, where the door was opened and I guess he was having a cigarette, and just left me sitting there. The younger guy finished my nails, he was nice. This paint they basically picked and I was just like ok, ended up making me want to throw up every time I looked at my nails, so I had to go to Kim in Montevallo and have them repainted and pay for that, but it was so worth it! Been going there every since. Back to the review; so when the guy was finished and I was in line to pay, which if I had it to do again, I would've just walked out and left. The old one waltzes up front and I was livid by this point, so I gave my opinion and a couple of suggestions. Still payed $44, didn't get an apology, discount, nothing...well I did get a lesson...when ppl show you who they are, believe them the 1st time. Also, if you want something other than a paint job and bad attitude, go to Nail Star in Montevallo Kim & Sue are GREAT!

This is a well run nail salon in downtown Montevallo. I highly recommend this shop and I would…read moredefinitely go back. I've been to several other nail salons in the area - and this shop had less wait, more skill, and essentially the same cost or less than the competition. My husband and I went on a Saturday afternoon for two pedis and on manicure and had a short wait. The elderly gentleman who did my nails was excellent and helped me with an ingrown toenail. My nails were not sore from being manipulated afterward like I've experienced from other shops. There was no pressure for more expensive spa packages. I deducted one star because the nail polish wasn't even and smooth over the nail, but otherwise, it was a great experience - and good quality work. I didn't experience the shortcuts I've experienced at other nail salons. Thumbs-up!

I just walked in because I was looking for someone who could soak off my gel-x nails. Upon entering I noticed it was quite clean--the white paints and bright lights opens up the space. There were three nail techs there--two women and one man. Upon getting my nails soaked off I actually found out that they do Gel-X nails! I was so excited because it's really hard to find that service in Birmingham. I was able to make an appointment for the next day with Mimi. From start to finish it only took less than 1.5 hours. Mimi does a solid job of choosing the right fit for each nail. Although the nails could have been smoothed out a bit more (they still feel a little scratchy on the underside), the technique she used made me feel that my nails would be okay. The four star is because of the pricing system. The base price is 60$ which is totally reasonable, but everything is an upcharge--even to shape your nails. If you get another color, upcharge. I don't think it's super expensive, I was just surprised my nails ended up being an extra 20$. I'll be coming back, though, because I ultimately enjoyed my experience.

Not relaxing at all since small child ran over my toe with rolling chair, got into my purse, and wouldn't let me look at the color samples in peace.
