I left a previous review that was slightly not in favor of this nail salon however after going again I had a completely different interaction! They took their time, made sure everything was even and were so kind! I'm really happy with my valentines nails! Definitely would recommend!

Everyone at Uptown Nails are always nice and friendly. Nikki's craftsmanship is amazing. I've been coming to her for months now and I've never had a nail break. I even installed a new kitchen sink, plumbing and all, and none of my nails even chipped. Nikki always does such a great job on my nails! I love coming to Uptown. And the pedicures are worth every penny!

Didn't bother to cut my cuticles or even have me wash my hands

Update: my thumbnail just fell off the next day after my pedicure. All nail but one is lifted to where I can pull them off. Another thing that I had forgotten to mention. The girl ahead of me paid and she just sat me down and didn't clean anything. She never had me wash my hands (which I did add) Alright so I had made an appointment here for the first time. I walk in and they from the start were just rude. I had my apt at 1:30. There were only two of them so me waiting 20 minutes wasn't a big deal. Except for the awkward silence. They're was zero communication and even the other customers in there looked uncomfortable. All you could hear is a muffled speech from Biden. I sit down with the girl that did my nails and showed her what I want in which colors. Everything was so rushed. She never bothered with my cuticles she just cut my nails and the put on the acrylic tips, then the power, then shaped them. I asked for square nails but the point a little rounded. She gave me these jagged coffin nails to which she heavily filed the right side of each nail but not the left so each one is crooked. After that she doesn't have me wash my hands or anything just started putting on the polish. Which are far from the colors I had asked for? The pictures don't even do it justice. My left hand is noticeably longer than my right. And they're just so crooked. I hate looking at them. I had originally asked for the smiley face and I had to remind her at the end bc she put the top coat on and said we're done. I never really right reviews but all around it's just an uncomfortable place, I got nothing that I had asked for, and they were just so rude it was definitely not worth it.

Uptown Nails is a pretty decent nail salon. I enjoy getting my nails done here. There's usually no wait, which is great, I can get in and get out! I recommend Don. He's really good and he's very attentive when he works. It's conveniently placed by Jack's Donuts (perfect for your sweet tooth if you have a wait) and Flashbacks (never been, but the menu looks tempting). Also, the prices are fairly decent. Give them a try if you're in the area.

The establishment is clean. The pedicure technicians are really nice; however I'm not sure that they are licensed. I noticed that pedicures were done differently depending upon who your technician was. My sister in law and i went for pedicures and we both asked for the same pedicure and it was done differently. When there were other patrons waiting my technician seemed to rush and didn't do a great job. The owner came over to finish so that she could move on to another patron and realized that the pedicure was not done correctly. He did spend time fixing what i pointed out. Because of that i moved the rating from a 3 to a 4. Pedicures should be done the same regardless as to the technician and no one should ever rush, as each client deserves the same treatment.

New set of acrylics done today. Very natural looking and great service!

My daughter got her nails done here today for the first time, and they turned out beautifully! She had a set of acrylics put on with gel coating. They look like beautiful natural nails. Absolute perfection! She said the man who did hers was very, very nice and didn't cut her skin or hurt her. He also gave her a ziplock baggie that included a nail file and nail buffer block that she will bring with her every time. They only use your set when you come and don't reuse them like other places. If you forget to bring it, it's okay; they'll just give you a new one, but they prefer, of course, for you to bring it back so they don't have to incur the cost of a new one every time. I would highly recommend this great nail salon!!!

Hands down the best pedicures EVER. I've been going here for a couple years. They have different pedi options for different prices and the $40 one is hands down my favorite! The owner is so nice and everything is so clean.

Came here after going to a bunch of different places trying to find my favorite. Definitely would recommend Don. Super nice guy & was able to use my inspirational photo to make this nail art happen. I also like how they give you your own file, buffer, and bonus card for each time you get a fill, which is very sanitary compared to those who use the same ones on every client. Only bad part is the sides of my acrylics weren't smooth at all and I ended up having to file them when I got home.

big ingrown from my big toe..painful and shouldve been taken care of when I had a pedi not even a week ago!

update to my review from last week. I am thinking of asking for my money back honestly.

Loved my first experience here! My pedicure and fill-in was done extremely well!

Very good pedicure and great location. Mostly men were working but I think that makes for a firm leg massage. Nice, clean, pleasant place.

I have been coming here for years and love this place. Yesterday was my first day with Kathi and I…read morewill be requesting her from now on. Make sure to call ahead and get an appointment. I do not recommend scheduling online, I have done this a couple of times and they have had to cancel every time because overbooking. I did schedule a massage on their website and it was cancelled as well, however last minute she called and was able to get me in. Two things I wish they would improve: In previous years they always offered a water or carbonated beverage, this isn't happening anymore. It was a nice touch. At least a water if you are sitting there for a hour. Second is hoping they expand to a different location soon. It has become crowded and less enjoyable. So many people are working in there now and it gets really loud. You can't hear the employee talking to you anymore. Additional comment, the male employee that sits in the last pedicure chair, sucking on your sucker slouched down in the chair. Please stop doing that, really creepy and unprofessional.

They were able to take appointments for quite a way out, as well as booking appointments for soonish; I booked a pedicure with Tim right before my trip abroad, giving myself maximum time to grow out the ingrowns the last place gave me. Big place, with lots of stations and lots of professionals. Clean, light and airy. The massage chair pedicure stations faced a large flatscreen tv showing the Olympic Games. Nice! Tim didn't give me much time to soak, but was very careful not to cut my nails too short, and not to file them too much in the corners. My podiatrist would approve. Didn't take off enough callus on the ends of my pinkie toes, but that's a hard area to reach. Massage of the feet and calves with lotion was relatively brief, but used a nice lotion that didn't reek of artificial scent, like the last place. Did a beautiful job painting my nails. Fast, efficient, professional, and no pain. I was happy. Afterward, relaxed by the good experience, I asked about a manicure, and ended up seeing Tim's colleague Linh, who was awesome. She told me about gel builder, to armor my weak and brittle nails without damaging them, and I signed up. We left my short nails the color the gel builder comes in -- a nice, natural pink. Maybe now I'll actually be able to grow them out past my fingertips, without them snagging and tearing! I love how strong and smooth they are now, which is helpful in making jewelry! I booked a follow up for a month from now. I look forward to trying out more of their services!

Took my mom to get her nails done and we fully regret walking in. For months, my mom always gets…read moregel manicures whenever she goes. Simple, right? It took close to an hour and 45mins for a service that usually takes 45-50mins max. The person servicing my mom was extremely slow to do her nails because she didn't know what she was doing and this was even confirmed by the owner. Because it took so long, no massage or lotion was included like other customers. The owner and another staff member coming to work in pajamas with extra long acrylic eagle talons for nails was definitely a red flag & I should of seen this coming. The owner was forcing my mom to basically pay $100 for a very sloppy, lumpy & time-consuming manicure. After some time of arguing, she decided to lower it to $75 (still an overcharge) because of miscommunication, and didn't even apologize. The owner was extremely reluctant to see the problem from another person's point of view & stood firm on her pricing with a sense of entitlement. Apparently, she's very proud of the mediocre work that comes out of her shop & demands full payment, even if that means ripping off customers. And never once were we expecting a free or discounted service. We just wanted to pay what was fair for the low-quality that was given. I found them to be very unprofessional, unreasonable, hostile and overall a huge lack of customer service skills. Continuously talking over people in a louder voice doesn't make your claim any stronger or correct. Instead of turning a negative to positive experience to create a repeat customer, the owner opted to give major attitude to a senior customer with broken English, knowing there was a lack of communication on your businesses behalf and that was disappointing. Very ghetto, to say the least. If you're going to charge premium pricing, a premium service needs to follow. No one in their right mind can look at these sad nails & genuinely feel they got their money's worth.

Service wise this place is AMAZING. Staff is so friendly, they offer a wide variety of services and…read moredid an incredible job. No complaints there! However, price-wise is what will stop me from returning. I do a basic dip manicure (with soak off) every 4-ish weeks. I wasn't going to have time to get to my salon so I stopped in here. (Again, they did a great job so I'm glad I did!) The board said $55, I typically pay $50, no big deal. However, they charged $15 for the soak off, $12 to choose nail polish color (it was $8 for no color) and $10 to shape the nails (just filing them down because they'd grown so long). So $92 before tip. For exactly what every other salon provides in the manicure price. I was just wondering what the $55 covered if not filing and painting the nails? (Cutting the cuticles and adding oil? lol) Again, excellent service but nearly double what I've paid at all other salons. Just check the "add on" prices before you commit to a service.

Overall, I'd give Sam's Nails a 3.5. I had high hopes for this nail salon when it opened a couple…read moreyears ago, but every time I visit they only seem to be ok. Sam's has never seem to wow me with their work. When it comes to convenience, I love where the location is. It would get a 5 star for that alone. The facility is always clean and I never worry about my safety as far as getting as infection or anything like that. Unlike some other places. I'm originally from the East Coast and when we get our nails done, we like pizazz. I enjoy fun and eclectic styles and patterns. And it seems like here in the Midwest, that's not something people look for regularly. So when I saw Sam's advertising on social media and even with their signage, I thought this void would finally be filled. They displayed fun designs and creative artwork, but I find that 1) not everyone can complete the creative nail art I look for. 2) they literally CHARGE for ev-ver-ry thing! If you want nails files shaped to anything but square, +$5-10. If you want French +5-10. I know it's common, but $10 is a bit much (IMO). 3)they just don't perform to my level of expectation. But check them out and let me know what you think.
