Jesse B.

Very friendly and great service. For my first time I was very pleased with the pedicure I got. They offer three price points starting at $25 and ending at $42 for the royal which adds a pearl spa, callus remover, hot stones, exfoliation, mud and extra massage. While there are salons that may be slightly cheaper Upscale was very attentive and made sure everything from.the water temperature to my cuticles were to my liking. They share a large parking lot with several other businesses just north of Yale on Colorado boulevard. I'd definitely come back. Upscale deserves the 5 stars. They're a cut above the rest.

I started coming here about 3 years ago. This place always does an amazing job. Very clean and relaxing nails salon with great music and calm atmosphere. The staffs are super friendly and professional. I highly recommend Upscale Nails!

Has been awhile since I have treated myself to a pedicure, and looked forward to a relaxing break in my day. Things were going fairly well until my nail tech's phone rang ..... And she answered it... And continued a phone conversation for several minutes until I finally said "if there is a family emergency, I am glad to wait while you address it". There are jobs that you can do brilliantly while holding your phone --- giving a pedicure is not one of them. Took a good experience and made it painful and awkward A little annoyed with myself for tipping at all, but couldn't help myself. Was def not the generous tip I typically give for this service. Won't be back.

Best place in town, with fun staff. Quality work and a experienced staff. The pricing is also very reasonable. They also can do complex nail designs. Definitely check them!

My mom takes me here when I visit Denver. BEST mani (gel) and pedi around! I've gotten my nails done a lot and no other place takes the time like this salon. Attention to detail is outstanding. Go to Ann---she's my mom's lady and will make your nails feel and look beautiful! Can't say enough how great this place is. Not fancy environment but way better job than any fancy salon I've gone to.

Best Nail Shop in Denver!!! Awesome pedicures and shellac manicure. I go to Cao or Ann. Phong does the best pink and white and acrylic nails.

This is my current go-to spot for a pedicure. It's in a plaza with lots of parking and feels pretty accessible to me. I appreciate the prices they have here and I think the service is great! I feel like they are experienced and do a solid job. There have been a couple of times where I've waited a bit with an appointment, but based on my experience this time, that's something they are being mindful of. As long as you're not on a tight schedule and have some extra time to spare, I would definitely recommend! read more

Small place but it had a good amount of people here. I took my daughter for a mom and daughter day and got a regular mani pedi. Got seated right away but we called to make sure they were taking walk ins. Color selection was vast. I even last minute got my eye brows waxed. That ended up being a big mistake. I didn't give the lady any guidance on what I wanted from her and they ended up being VERY thin. So if you do get their waxing services make it very clear what you expect. The mani and pedis were done quickly but still relaxing. And everything lasted on us for a week. Which is great considering my daughter is a busy girl at the age of 4. Great prices too. Will come again. read more

I had several poor experiences here involving the quality of the service and the behavior of staff when paying. Many times the staff did a subpar job on a manicure, and one time when paying a member of the staff refused to let me leave until I increased my tip. I would not recommend this salon--Uni Nails or Blue Sky are much better. read more

Great experience. My husband and I both got mani/pedis and they were superb. My husband said it was his best leg massage ever and that's really saying something because he has had a lot of pedicures! Everything was super clean. Although they were quite busy - and we were running a bit late for our appointment - they were very gracious and we did not feel rushed at all.

The place is filthy! One nail brush at the sink and it wasn't even in sanitizer. Tools are just thrown in a drawer and the same ones are used on all customers and again not sanitized. The work stations are never cleaned nor are the floors. The large trash can is always overflowing. This place needs to be fined or closed down until it is brought up to proper sanitizing standards. I'm sure the health department is too busy to inspect all the nail salons in town when there are 3-4 in one block. Something else.....I always make an appointment for services. Many times I was left waiting for up to 30 minutes. Why do I bother to make an appointment then???? read more

Being new to the area, I stopped in here a few times for a mani/pedi due to proximity. The salon is small and has a cluttered feel. My nail paint job was good and lasted for a while! It was an ok experience and I was just going to continue going here, but my last visit I was dismissed and asked to come back 2 hours later. Eh, I was glad they were honest about their capacity, and wanting my nails done that afternoon I sought out another salon. read more

I just went back to Upscale Nails after moving back to the area, as they use to do a phenomenal job and I've never been so disappointed. I left with the worst manicure I've ever received in 20 years. My technician refused to cut my nails shorter even after I asked three times, gave me six cuts on my cuticles that bled and I have red Shellac polish all over my hands and outside the nail bed. To top it off they charged me more than what was stated on the price board. When I said something about it I was told they have not updated their price list but would not bring my total down to their listed prices. What a TERRIBLE way to run a business. If I could give this negative stars I would. Do NOT give them your business! read more

I'm so excited to be back in this area as I used to come here over 9 years ago when I first moved to Denver, and they were great then.

I went to this nail salon last week with a group of bridesmaids because the bride booked the appointment. I saw the reviews on yelp and was a little worried about going here. I actually had a great experience. I had a shellac (CND) french manicure and a regular pedicure. The staff was very kind and did a great job on all of our nails. They gave us all bottled water and even offered to do a little flower design on my big toe, that turned out beautiful. I was charged exactly as listed on the board and so was my entire group. I would recommend this salon. read more

Not impressed, especially considering the rating this business has. I expected excellent customer service and very high quality. Even though staff was pleasant, I had three separate techs just for a pedicure. They definitely weren't attentive as I sat a couple of times, pedicure started, before anyone showed up to continue and finish. Also sat for a long time waiting to pay. Will not be back ... First visit, last visit. Lacking customer service seems to be a common theme at nail salons in this area. Sad I cannot find any place local to do my nail business. read more

The polish started chipping very quickly, and overall the paint job did not look very clean or smooth. They also didn't properly push back or clean up my cuticles, so within about a week and a half my nails already looked very grown out. For the amount of money spent, I expected much better attention to detail and longer-lasting results.

Let's begin with a confession…read more I am a grown man who gets pedicures. I refer to the process, affectionately, as "sanding my hooves." Now before the men reading this clutch their masculinity like a fragile heirloom, let me explain something. At a certain point in life you must confront the reality that the feet you've been ignoring for decades are attached to the rest of you. And if you live in Colorado, those feet are eventually going to end up in flip flops or sandals. Enter Etoile Salon, where professional technicians transform what can only be described as feral hiking hooves into respectable human feet again. They truly are superb. Gentle, focused, and extremely professional. No rushing, no chaos. Just skilled people quietly performing the miracle of turning your feet back into something you wouldn't be ashamed to parade around town. For the record, I usually go with The Classic Etoile Pedicure. 35 minutes, $50. It's the perfect amount of time for someone to politely and methodically restore order to your feet while you sit there contemplating life choices. There are also plenty of add-ons if you want. Scrubs, treatments, upgrades. The spa equivalent of "would you like fries with that?" Then something unexpected happened. I started adding color. At first it was tentative black. You know...safe. Masculine. The gateway color. Then came money green. A little flash. A little attitude. Fiscally responsible. And most recently...royal purple. If this continues, by summer I fully expect to be sitting in that chair calmly selecting something called "cosmic mermaid chrome." The owner, Nara, is an absolute rock star. She's been in the industry for nearly two decades and that makes you realize the person working on your feet knows far more about taking care of them than you ever will. But credentials aside, what really stands out is how she runs the place. Nara has mastered the rare hospitality skill of making every customer feel like a longtime regular. People walk in and greet her like family, and she somehow manages to keep everything running smoothly while making sure everyone feels welcomed and relaxed. Which makes sense, because the entire vibe of the salon is calm and comfortable, not rushed. A logistical tip: they get slammed early on weekends. My last appointment was 1pm on a Saturday and it was practically serene. Six chairs, three customers, zero chaos. Now here's the part that tells you everything you need to know. I live in Cherry Creek, which has roughly one nail salon per block. I could walk to several of them while holding an Americano and pretending I'm productive. Instead, I drive 15 minutes to Etoile. Because when someone is responsible for maintaining your toenails, you develop loyalty. So gentlemen, if you've been avoiding pedicures because you think it's not your thing, let me offer a perspective. You maintain your car. You service your HVAC. You sharpen your kitchen knives. Why would you ignore the two things that literally take you everywhere? Go get your hooves sanded. And if you're feeling bold, try royal purple. It's surprisingly empowering.

First impression was they would be really good and let's be honest they are, but I don't feel like…read moreI got the full experience of a mani and pedi. My technician skipped steps in the mani and pedi process. I left with hangnails, both nails and toes were not really shaped but you know what I'm going to give them another shot. I give each nail place 3 times before I choose they are not worth spending money at so maybe it was just who they had assigned to me, who knows.

Unfortunately, I can't leave a positive review. I've had to wait at every appointment because…read morewalk-ins were taken ahead of me, which defeats the purpose of booking a set time. The environment also isn't relaxing -- the owner frequently complains about a competing salon on Pearl Street during appointments. To make matters worse, the cancellation policy through the Fresha app is infuriatingly strict. I scheduled an appointment late one night and tried to reschedule it the next morning, only to be charged $34. Overall, it's been a frustrating experience.

I personally go to L'Kai (pronounced La Ky) to cut my hair. He's the kind of stylist that you can say "just do whatever you want" and know you're going to love it! He likes to cut a lot of movement into my hair, and always knows how to make the color rich and luxurious looking. I always feel pampered when I go there without paying an exorbitant price. I was actually here today to hang with my favorite girlfriend who came in with another friend of hers. You know you're at a great stylist when you refer your best friend to him!

I just happened to stop by this shop for the first time today and found out that it's under new management starting this week. As I've just moved to the area and need to find a good Pink and White Nails Tech, I decided to give them a try. I loved how my nails turn out. Ask for Sam if you're a Pink and White fan like me. The staff there seem very friendly and detailed. read more
