    I've lived in the Waldo area for about 3 years and I have gone to Waldo Nails this ENTIRE time. Even if I moved out of Waldo, I'd still make the drive. The prices are affordable and the staff is extremely polite & friendly. My dip nails stay in perfect condition for WEEKS which is rare. The massage chairs during a pedicure are super relaxing! I wouldn't want to get a pedicure/manicure anywhere else in KC.

    Thank you for being so accommodating and working with me to make the perfect color! I can't stop admiring my nails.

    I walked away very disappointed with my nails and I tried to convey that through the entire service. I kept telling her that the French tips where too bulky and I didn't like the shape, she kept telling me that she wasn't finished yet. She was also so rough with my hands that I ended up bleeding. When I asked if I could get them fixed and reshaped, she told me it would be an extra $35 on top of the $67 I had already paid for the poor service I received. Not to mention they where rude the entire time.

    I've been trying to find my "new home" and we'll i think I found it. They are usually by appointment only in order to establish a better customer service. Today I called in about a walk-in Davey didn't have an opening until later today. I really needed to get in as I only had an hour to work with. He then called back telling me he had a cancellation and come on in! Wow the selection of colors is amazing! Some top brands too. $45 for dip and if you want ombre add $10 for a full set! I think yes! Davey's customer service is wonderful, the atmosphere is soothing and comfy. Can't wait to take the family!!

    This place is very popular in the area - I had to book my appointment for dip manicure a week out. But I'm glad I waited for them. The place is spacious and has a huge staff! There is a parking lot right across the street. This was only my second time trying dip and the results are very impressive. How dip powder can stay on your nails for over a month is beyond me. As usual, with my indecisiveness, it took me a good 10 minutes to decide on a color. They have a million shades, be prepared to be overwhelmed! They also do designs and ombré (with an additional charge, of course). I was in and out of there within an hour, with the cutest nails and smoothest hands. Dip manicure with removal costed $43 with cash. Weird, since it's Kansas City. But definitely give David and his team a try!

    Best pedicure I've ever had! Seriously.

    This is the best pedicure of my life. Period. Chairs are tops. Music good. Temperature refreshing. Workers polite and efficient. Took me 100 miles for this satisfaction. I will definitely return.

    I've been looking for a new nail salon & I decided to walk-in since it was close to home. I went in around 3ish & I was seated immediately. I didn't get the friendliest greeting (this was better when I left). I only got a pedicure but he was very friendly & he did a nice job. They also do not have liners which I felt so-so about. I will say it's smaller than most nail salons I've visited but they have a wide variety of color options & plenty of staff. I enjoyed my experience & plan to come back soon! **Bonus: The scrub smells AMAZING & it comes with the basic pedicure for my cheap peeps!

    I had been looking for a place to get my nails done regularly and I may have found it. Greeted quickly and taken care. Easy to make an appointment and the gentleman did an amazing job helping me figure out what I wanted.

    I've been getting my nails done at Waldo Nails for almost a year. This is hands down the best nail salon I have been to in Kansas City. I always get a dip manicure by Mary and she does a phenomenal job every single time. Every nail appointment ends with a nice massage which is so relaxing. Anytime I've had broken or chipped nail, the owner gets me in very quickly and takes care of me. I would suggest making an appointment if you do want to go, as they are typically very busy! 10/10 would recommend.

    Hands down, the absolute best place for dip manicures. Very talented and knowledgeable staff, who provide great and expeditious service. I moved out of state five months ago, and while I have found a salon that does dip manicures in my new city, they don't come close to Waldo Nails. The variety of colors and techniques available is unrivaled. And, a neck massage while your nails dry!?!? Yes please! It's very important that you make an appointment, because they're a popular joint! Like many small businesses, cash is king (they accept major credit cards, but if you pay cash, you get a punch card for a future discount on a manicure). I plan to schedule appointments any time I'm visiting!

    Crooked nails. Pretty expensive and mediocre work done especially for the cheap, D-curve tips they use. Will not be returning.

His hair always looks great after its freshly cut. I got my haircut by Shana and she was awesome! She recently moved here from CA where she also had a career in hair, so she is not new to the industry. She did a fabulous job of massaging my scalp and neck while she was washing my hair. I could have fallen asleep right then and there. I also really appreciated that we went over my hair history and what exactly I was looking for before she started cutting my hair. Sometimes It can be scary going to a new person for your hair and Shana made me feel super comfortable. I thought she did a great job with my hair cut and the way she styled It.. I wish she came to my house every morning to style my hair like that. I have gotten so many compliments on how my hair looks. I totally recommend going to Moonshot!

Brooke has a lot of background in a variety of men's cuts, and does great work. The cost for a men's cut with her is on the higher end at $40, but if you want a stylist that will put the care and detail into your cut, I would recommend her. Other stylists there run different prices if you want a cut at a lower price, and from what I have seen, they do great work as well. Can't go wrong!
