I love getting my nails done here and believe they are the best quality in town. However, they are slightly more costly than most salons and without much rationale. I get a full set here for $50, which is reasonable. I recently got a full set with plain burgundy matte nails and was charged $58. When I asked what the extra $8 was for she said $5 for matte and $3 for long nails. This doesn’t appear to make much since because matte is just a top cost, it doesn’t require extra work nor does keeping my nail length medium/long. They also don’t charge for your nail length when you have them shiny instead of matte so this doesn’t make much since.I will definitely keep going due to great quality but price rationale should be considered and also told to the customer prior to doing their nails.
Best nail salon experience I’ve had so far- the guy that works here takes so much care in his work. A little pricier than expected, but so worth it. Will be back soon.
Very friendly and great service. Even though I haven’t been here in a while, they remembered me and my family. Great selection of colors and services. They do recommend appointments, so best to call ahead!
Great service! We did a walk in appointment. Pretty short wait time. I am very pleased with the work for myself and my husband on our pedicures. Reasonable pricing too. Found our new pedicure spot!
Very friendly. Pedi was skillfully done
Phoenix Nails always delivers on professional service and gorgeous nails! They made sure to adhere to all regulations for re-opening during COVID-19. Making an appointment was quick and easy, and I didn’t have to wait too long for my gel french manicure. Great staff and relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this salon for anyone in the Kalamazoo area.
So friendly and holds great conversation.Took his time and my nails look amazing. I will never go anywhere else!!
Its true if you cancel for any reason they will block your number
I went in and before anything was started I showed a picture of what I wanted. I asked multiple times what the price of this was. They kept speaking amongst themselves, not clarifying with me at all. Half way through they finally give a price. Now I’m aware for some reason all nail salons are prices during a pandemic, however the short length, simplicity, and overall look of my nails were NOT worth the amount I paid. To make matters worse, when I expressed my disappointment one laughed and one yelled “well what do you want” while waving her hands at me. At that point I told them it was fine and allowed them to finish. I paid the full price they insisted it was worth and left. Worst nail experience ever. Very disappointed. Will not be returning. Could have had a non professional on Facebook market do a better job for less.
They were terrible. I went to have my nails done. They did a fill in and put polish over the polish that was already on my nails. Not friendly at all. I would never go back, or recommend anyone. Go at your own risk, not because I said go.
While I was pleased with my shellac manicure, I was totally disappointed with the service received from Ann or Annie, she was rude, snappy, and frowning when inquiring about various colors. Id like to believe it was because she was pregnant. Doubt if I return, not desperate - nor will I pay for unpleasant, unprofessional service, too many choices.
Phoenix has a practice of blocking customers numbers from calling if they cancel an appointment for any reason.
This is my place, I love it here!
I had never been here, but will definitely be back! Great relaxing pedicure. Very clean & tidy shop. Was able to walk right in.
One of the best in Kalamazoo. I like that I can make an appointment and not have to wait around for hours. They are thorough and very fairly priced, salon is always clean and welcoming. Both husband and wife do an excellent job and are very friendly!
I used to love coming here. It was relaxing and always clean. The last two visits have been very different. I feel rushed not very relaxed and even catch more attitude than anyone should when paying for a service. If youre looking to pamper yourself...this is NOT the place to go but if its just regular maintenance and no room for changes or upgrades...hey, makes sense.
I rarely leave negative reviews. I have great respect for small owner-operated businesses. However, its important to be able to leave a negative review without risking public shaming. I am STUNNED by the owners practice of responding to negative reviews by posting abusive comments about dissatisfied customers. I will give the owners the benefit of the doubt and assume this is about business ignorance or inexperience. Your success and dignity are at risk. I suggest taking a look at other salon review pages and hope you benefit.
I enjoy the services every time I go very clean bathroom awesome nail techs my favorite in townI don’t play about my nails or eyebrows. and Mrs. Ann always does a awesome job and the Mr. is awesome with the nails, they even call you if they missed your call to see what services you needed I will go there every time no one else can get my nails or eyebrows together ❤️❤️❤️ You guys
Great, very clean and easy. Staff was wonderful. Ill definitely go back!
Called and made an appointment for a set of gel nails. Service was excellent and pretty fast! Fair prices
DOAN and his wife are great and very friendly! Make sure you call and make an appointment and you will not have to wait long! Manicures and Pedicures are always the best!! They take their time and are very neat and detailed oriented! I also get my eyebrows done and they always look very good. I would definitely recommend this place and will never go anywhere else!!!
My sister had recently gone through giving birth and wanted to get a pedicure that was close by just in case her husband needed something. We drove up and saw the pictures in the windows had a faded look. We entered and said that we wanted to get pedicures. There was one person working with a customer. One employee was lounging and the other was walking around. The one who was walking around said that they couldnt give us pedicures because there was not enough time. We went at 1. They had many hours before closing. I found that to be extremely rude. So we went to Escape Nails on West Main and they were fantastic. Avoid Phoenix and go to Escape instead.
My friend and I have been bouncing from nail shop to nail shop trying to find one that we loved and this is it! They are always very friendly and do great work (including designs!). I recommend making an appointment so that you dont have to wait as a walk-in. They are also great with kids and we have both brought our daughters to get their nails painted and designed as well :)
The rude way the Owner replies to CUSTOMERS has scared me away from this nail salon and therefore will NOT be doing businesses with him.To all customers that have had a BAD experience submit your COMPLAINT to the * Better Business Bureau* and get these people shut down.All customers should be treated with respect.
Awful went there at 7:00 and they were closing up when they are supposed to be opened till 7:30. Very inconvenientHello again just received a response from owner and it was very disrespectful! Instead of suggesting I come a little earlier to ensure service they insulted my character. I encourage all African Americans not to use this shop since it seems they only think of us in a negative way. I truly believe if I was another race the response would have been an appropriate one.
Ive been going to pheonix for about 2 years now and I have never received anything but exceptional customer service! They have the best suggestions to make my nails grow longer and healthier! Make sure to make an appointment because they are always busy because of their great service!
I have been going to other nail salons for a few years now, but I always ended up with flimsy nails or rushed work. Yesterday I did some research, decided to try a new place, and it was the best decision I ever made coming here! I was skeptical about going somewhere new but I got a gel full set and my nails look absolutely fantastic. This is my favorite set of nails Ive ever gotten! The prices are very reasonable, and I do not see one chip or mistake.I cant wait to come back here for my next full set!
The dude suck he does not know how to do nails good. Would totally recommend the lady. Clean place tho. Make sure you know the prices because each one of them is going to tell you something different.
Stunned and disappointed with the service and the way they speak to customers. Had an issue specific to nail care and was given no reason as to why I could not get and pay for the nails I wanted. Was treated with condescending attitudes and given no explanation or reasoning for that treatment. Absolutely hated my experience and my nails look awful but I did not want to stick around the place long enough to fix what I didn’t like because I felt so awkward and disrespected. Never have I EVER cried in an establishment but I did today. I’ll be taking my service elsewhere.
The owner has been taking care of my nails for nine years. And now that his wife is also part of the business, the sky is the limit. They are meticulous, artistic, and very professional. I love that they now have their own place to continuing growing. And of course the reason I go - the quality of their work - amazing!
I love this place. I am a serious nail critic and it is really important that my nails are done correctly. And Anna executes this every time both pedicures as well as nail shaping nail art just all around nail care. If your in or around town stop into Phoenix nails it’ll be worth it.
Im not understanding the bad reviews saying the husband was rude or the service was bad. I went today, 1st visit, got full set gel nails, colored tips. Im beyond pleased with the service, politeness, and turn out of my nails. I love them and love this place! Ill be going to this salon from now on. She did an awesome job, was quick, professional, and efficient. She definitely knows what shes doing. Oh and the husband WASNT RUDE AT ALL!Sincerely,Amanda H.
Rushed horrible service! I will never go to this place again!!! Walmart does a better job than them!!!!!
The gentleman was very pleasant. I have never had my nails done with fake add ons before. He answered all my questions, and explained the process. I will have to do this again sometime, was a lot of fun.
Destroyed my nails. Instead of waiting she took a dremal to my natural nail. Left me with bloody cuticles and thin pit marked nails. Now I’m stuck painting them until the damage has grown out. My nails are sensitive and sore more than a week later.Furthermore, I was rushed choosing a nail color, and the quality of the of the product was horrendous. Did not cover my whole nail bit still managed to paint a good portion of my skin. In the next few days my cuticles would become inflamed and very red. Cannot expresses how terrible my experience was here.
Quick service, quality pedicure, reasonable prices. Felicia was personable and did a great job on my nails. Highly recommend!
I did have an appointment and had to wait a little bit. Although I did make the appointment late on a Saturday. As for my nails. OMG 😍💅 They are perfect. She even helped me find the colors I wanted. I have been searching all over the Kalamazoo/Portage area for a good nail salon
I love the service and the job they do! Have been going to them faithfully for 2 years and will continue to go! I do have to call and schedule an appointment because they are always busy they always accommodate me with no problems! Will continue to go and recommend anyone that wants a go nail job with long lasting result to go as well!
Walk-ins can be kinda tough if youre wanting real nails. Theyre good. People book by appointment. Thats the only con. Otherwise, theyre clean and quick and talented.
Love An and Doan! They do a fantastic job of keeping the salon clean and inviting. An is always very creative with nail designs and has great ideas! I am a loyal customer and highly recommend them for your nail and pedicure need Some!
Nice place! They did a great job on my pedicure and got me in and out even though they were really busy. Visiting from out of town and was pleasantly surprised.
This nail salon does a great job! They are very friendly. Ive only gotten gel nails done and the price is super decent.
It was great very nice place 👍 will always keep coming back
This is the place, in and out in a timely manner. Mani pedi was nice and my nail dip was great. Will be back for sure. Added number to my contacts. :)
Since Happy nails has been under new ownership and the name has changed to Phoenix Nails, I am more than satisfied with my services. For years I have been hopping around trying to find a nail salon that I can call home and Phoenix nails is it!! I love An (the wifes) work as well as her husbands work. They are very professional and will always take care of their customers to the fullest. I would suggest making appointments because they are short staffed, you have a chance of waiting for ever if you walk in. I have posted photos of some of their work that they have done. They are the best! I wish i was taking pictures of the work sooner so i could show them off more.
Love this pace! They are always busy but this is the only place I trust to do my nails anymore. I normally get shellac or a full set, only issue I ever have is when my nails grow, but other than that the manicure always looks perfect. Nothing they can do to fix that! :)
Received a full set with nail art, it was not very neat. On to the next salon...
Great service and good prices. I get Shellac and a pedicure 2x a month and am extremely satisfied with their services. They draw a lot of people so if you dont want to wait make an appointment. If you walk in you will rarely get right in!
Nice spa place youll feel great after the fact
I love coming here the owner is very accommodating and does a great job fast!
Have been going to Doan for about 7 years now and I will not go anywhere else. He does a great job. I always make an appointment as they are busy. Will continue to give them my business and recommend them to others.
These two are the best ever... Most friendly and professional couple I have ever meet in this business. You would never catch me any where else.
They dont listen to the customer. I needed artificial nails and they told me that all I had booked was for a gel manicure so I had to leave and come back for more time to get them out on. Then I asked for a French manicure look with one blue nail on my ring finger. Instead they put ugly white tips on and said thats what I asked for and they didnt paint the one finger. Finally I had have them paint everything so it didnt look awful for my wedding pictures! I may not get my nails done all the time but I was really disappointed that I had to spend all day dealing with it and then paying for them to fix it. The last thing is that they also clipped my cuticles back really far and both my fingers and cuticles hurt pretty bad that night. That cant be good. I wont be going there again and I cant wait to get them off.
Dont let the old man do your services. I love old people but he was no strength in his hands. No good. Sorry
The people were very kind and attentive. It is a nice atmosphere and pretty reasonable pricing. Im very satsfied.
The service is ok. I like the work, but they need MORE help. I always thought the point in making an appointment was so that u could be serviced @ that certain time appointed but not here u wait 20-30 minutes with an appointment, ridiculous.
Love this place clean neat and nice got my nails so cute I love them they showed they cared and not rough at all..Now they just got to keep up the good work I am truly impressed...
They always do a great job. My favorite nail place in Kalamazoo (:
This was the worst experience ever. The guy was super rude, he was saying things that he shouldn’t be saying to me. He felt a little too comfortable. I got a full set pink and white powder with rhinestones on Wednesday and that night the rhinestones on my left hand had all fallen off. I was able to go back and get the put back on the next day at no charge only to have the other hand fall off a couple hours after I left. Even after I came back the guy seemed irritated he had to fix his error, not to mention it was super expensive. I will never be going back and do not recudir anyone to go. Escape on west main is way better!!
Employees are friendly and the space is clean. color options are limited though and waiting time was long considering i had an appointment, i waited about 20 mins.
They do a wonderful job on nails.if anybody ask me where go get beautiful nails I say them. They nice and a sweet people
I have never been here before but from me just reading all the reviews and the responses from the owner and how they talk to clients. I can not believe how much judgement and disrespect someone actually thinks their entitled to say.
Outstanding and beautiful work. Perfect nails every time. Highly recommend.
A friend of mine visits this shop. I’ve been turned away several times when joining her without an appointment, which is fine bc the husband and wife are very talented techs. They will tell you they are more appointment based. They’ve been around for years we worked with them at glamour nails before they started a family and their own shop. Very sweet! However I seen a google review on FB which led me here today. The way that the owner now responds to his clients is disgusting and very disrespectful, I was offended reading his responses. I even shared these responses with my friend and tried to get her to join me at ESCAPE NAILS! Very friendly! Fully staffed, Very professional! Willing to accommodate a mistake and not talk down on their clients! As a chick who loves her nails, and most of all RESPECT I would never go to this establishment again! Owner, you are better than talking to your clients like that! Prospective clients are watching. Very disappointed!
Both my sister and I came here because we were waiting at the DMV. We both get mani pedi and had a great experienc. Definitely coming back.
Our experience was terrible. They were rude, late, and seemed to disregard appointments with any sort of respect. Even though we had scheduled an appointment they seemed put out with our presence. My daughters were so excited for a nail salon adventure the day before the wedding and they left offended. One guest waited 2 hrs. for her scheduled appoint and was told when asked for how much longer it would be, that it would be another 20 minutes. Unacceptable!!!!! I would not recommend this place.
I never get my nails done because it is pointless. The polish chips off an hour after it is applied. But my grandma had never had a manicure so we stopped in on a whim. It was quiet and not busy. Nice and clean. But most importantly, both my grandma and I have been wearing this nailpolish without a single chip for 5 whole days. What sorcery is this?
Im from Indiana and was here for the month. They have lots of colors for gel mani, more than the shop I go to at home! Quick service and very nice people!
Ann is the best. She does really good job and fast
Kind and Courteous. Nrat and Clean atmosphere. Pedi chairs are Supper comfy
Ann & Doan are the Best!Nails and eyebrow waxing
HORRIBLE experience, at first I was happy because she was doing them pretty quickly and they seemed to be looking good, and then when I told her what I wanted she said she couldnt do it and that it was too hard. all it was, was matte black with silver at the base of the nail instead of the tip. but I accepted her saying she was going to do the tips silver. (and I dont like it at all although Ive had people say it was cute) And then I told her I have a baby (newborn) so I need them shorter (I was getting a fill) which she DID do and theyre short enough but then after getting done they were sooooo sharp in the corners I almost cut my own lip when I went to itch!!! I had to go home and file the corners down to dull them out. and then she rushed me out so fast I barely had time to put my wallet in my purse. overall bad experience and I wont be returning.
I have never been here...just wanted to post that the owners responses to the negative reviews have turned me off from trying this establishment. The responses are very unprofessional in nature which is concerning. You dont need to defend yourself to the point that you sound foolish and accusitory.
Very very good!
I always get great service and the technicians are always dedicated to what you need. I get a fill mostly every two weeks and I always leave happy!
Love Phoenix Nails. Only place in Kalamazoo I trust to do a great job, every time!
Best pedicure Ive had in a very long time.
I get my nails done every two weeks here and they always keep to their appointments that you make with them, do a good job, and have fair prices! I always recommend their salon to all my friends in the area!
I get my nails done here EVERY week, easily the best in town.
The best service and most beautiful nails my daughter and I have ever had!
Fast and excellent service
Phoenix Nails is one of my go to nail places! Also so professional and kind when ever I am there.
I have been to quite a few places n town n Phoenix is best by far!
They never answer the phone and even when you have an appointment, you still might have to wait 30 minutes or more. UNPROFESSIONAL.
Owner seemed to rushed and impatient! Was more concerned with clients that walked in instead of myself...who had an appointment!!
Great quality service! Found my new nail salon!
Love this place! Get shellac manicure every two weeks.
The official nail doctors. Best service in all of Kalamazoo and surrounding cities!
My nails look amazing and I was in and out.
I go just about every 2 weeks and never leave with complaints, my friends have talked me into trying other places and Im never satisfied like I am with Phoenix...it is and will always be my nail place😍 5 stars for service and product
Great professional service! I do not go anywhere else for my nails or eyebrows!
They do a great job! Clean shop
I wont ever go back there again. They did a rotten job and not even an hour after I got them done the nail polish started coming off.
Excellent service and the best manicure in town!
