They always do an amazing job! Today I came in last minute after a long day at work and I called the wrong nail salon to see if they could get me in before close. So I show up and they’re so sweet, remove my old acrylics while they did my toes and I was so grateful. They’re by far the cleanest, kindest, most professional salon I’ve been to. They also have a price menu which is huge for me, at other places I feel like I never know what I’m going to pay because I have no idea what the prices are beforehand. Go here and you won’t regret it!

Review β„–4

I brought my niece in to get her nails done and she wanted to get a full set and she had a picture of what she wanted to have done. She showed them the picture before they started and they said β€˜okay’. They ended up doing something that wasn’t even close and then in the middle of the appt they asked to see the reference photo and the lady says they can’t do it and we need to do shellac to get what she wants. That wouldn’t have been an issue if they would have said that when we first started. And then they kept saying that they couldn’t get it done but they can do a design if they want and expected her to think of something off the spot and she felt rushed. I’m not one to leave bad reviews, but it was just a bad experience in general. We would have been understanding if it was something that couldn’t be done, but they should have said that from the very beginning. This used to be my go to spot but even after asking if there’s anything they could do to get close to what she wanted, they only recommended putting a design on them and weren’t open to fixing it even when we were open to starting over. As if it was a big deal to start all over for something we wanted. Honestly a waste of money.

The ladies here are always so nice and amazing they always take me in last minute which they did this last time and they always make my nails look exactly like I want them I have been coming here for 7 years and counting and like I said theyre just really good people here.

Review β„–6

Ive been going here for over 15yrs but during my last visit I experienced the worse service ever. In the middle of my pedicure I was asked to move to the last seat in order to let a customer and her friend sir together. Heres the thing the friend wasnt getting anything done. They could wait. And I didnt notice it then but my polish smudged during the disruptive move. My toes were filled unevenly. The so called matching shellac polish was drastically brighter than the toe polish. Huge disappointment all around.

My whole family has been going here for years, the staff is nice and they do a great job. They get busy so an appointment is best, but even if you have to wait they get you in as quickly as they can.

Made an appointment for 2pm and two customers that came in after me were serviced first. I was told because they were ONLY getting pedicures but later turned out to not be true. They do a good job but I’m a stickler for customer service. If they pull that again I won’t be coming back.

Review β„–13

Update 2/4/20: its three days later and my nails are already cracking on the sides and one has already broken (also these are my real nails so Im livid)!! In my original review, I found myself editing it several times because I felt bad even having to address the situation...but now I just feel upset and ripped off. I tried to find the positive side of the whole experience but truth it this is not quality....2/2/20:Upon entering I asked if they carried a specific product that was currently on my nails and I was told they did so I proceeded with the service. I continued to ask to see the product/nail accessory I asked about upon entering so that I could determine a polish color...at this point my nails have been started and I’m now told they don’t have the product, even though I asked upon arrival...I eventually decided on the mood changing dip powder and chose a darker and lighter pink. Somewhere in the process I can only assume a step was done wrong because everywhere he buffed my nail after dipping them the polish no longer changes colors or reverts back it it’s original color so the pinkish polish on my nails have white blotches all over them. Mistakes are made, I get that, but what bothered me was the lack of concern, no offer or attempt to fix it, let alone a simple apology. I’ve been to this location before and have even brought my mother in for service as a treat and have had decent service, but this time I just dont feel like I received that and it was disappointing. You want to be paid for the service you provide, but as a customer I also want the service I’m paying for. I just dont think you should offer a product or service you havent mastered.I will say this, everyone is very nice, I was welcomed upon entry, and I like the shape and smooth finish of my nails... I honestly love everything about them except for the dip finish (polish) luckily there lighter colors so its not overly noticeable, but I know this is not suppose to be what it looks like so its difficult to accept. I’m mostly disappointed by the lack of ownership. The poor finish was acknowledged on his end but no effort was made to correct it which was very off putting. (pretty much said I dont know what happened but oh well)...I originally felt like Id never return because being someone that gets mani/pedi every two weeks, I have never experienced this. Maybe in the future I will try again because I have had better experiences here previously and do like everything else about my nails. I hope this is a learning tool and is improved because other than that my nails were pleasing.

They did a beautiful job for my wedding! And for my everyday look. The staff are friendly and service is quick! Excellent color choices, lots of different kinds; cats eye, chrome, color changing and more. They have designs or being one in, they can do it all!

Ive been coming to Panther Lake nails for about 4 years now. This was the first place I had ever gotten a manicure and somehow always found myself coming back after I tried different salons.Tammy and the entire staff has become family over the years. I personally always see Tammy who always makes my nails look FABULOUS!!A little TMI but I am missing a toenail on one of my big toes and Tammy is the ONLY nail tech to ever put a fake nail on and have it last 2/3 color changes!Needless to say if youre looking for a new nail salon youll love Panther Lake!

I kept hearing great things about this place so i thought why not ... sadly i didnt have such a great experience . The lady who did my toes stabbed me 3 times with the cuticle pusher and ripped the sides of my toe nails so my big toes are tender.. 1 started bleeding . i really hope it aint infected .. they are a bit swollen and the nail polish application it lumpy and not cute Above that the lady doin my acrylics had an attitude which only made the experience even more uncomfortable .

Review β„–24

I found this place over summer. I loved this place and even told my friends about it. Then the last 3 times I went (Today is my last day ever coming here after how I was treated.) they did not glue the fake nail on properly, the shape is always bad, theyve cut me multiple times, they kept getting paint on my skin, and they made my nails way too thick. My nails were done so poorly that they kept breaking off which never happens to me. The shape on each nail always looked different and was never the shape I requested. They will make you bleed and keep going without apologizing. Paint in your cut IS NOT FUN. Today I finally had enough and complained about the shape very nicely and I apologized when I shouldnt of. I was told that if I complain again they wont do my nails. Litterally Ive given them chance after chance. They used to do such an amazing job. I dont know what happened. I dont think they care. Once they know you will come back they start to not care about the customers feelings. They are very very rude and Im definitely hurt. Ive always been nice and tiped very well. Ive always been thankful and sweet to them because I get their job can be stressful. Ive often tiped $20 just for my hands. Its okay though another salon can have my money moving forward. Im hurt, offended, and I feel like this place is a waste of money. Better customer service is needed.

Everyone here is friendly, and someone always greets me or acknowledges me when I walk through the door. Their pricing is comparable, and they offer a punch card for returning clients. They do really quality work, and they have more options available than at my last nail salon as far as color choices....as well as ombre, and a variety of colors for dip powder. Best of all, they LISTEN to me and they do the style/design that I can for. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

Prices have gone up, while service has gone downhill. They are unfriendly, never smile, rush through the job quickly and sloppily.And for the love of God, turn on your air conditioning in the summer!! It was almost 90 degrees outside and a freaking sauna inside the shop. All the customers were sweating and trying to fan themselves with their one free hand. Not exactly the relaxing experience youre looking for at a nail salon..

I was told to check the place out . So I got my nails done before my anniversary party and 2 days later the shellac bubbled and started to peel and my nails were so thin they started popping of and breaking mid nail . I never tend to complain but this cost me a lot of money and them being closed today (tuesday) cost me additional going to another salon .

I went into this place and the lady stabbed me with the cuticle remover. My finger bled so much and i fainted in the chair. They asked me if i wanted anambulance. I just asked for water. They expected me totip them after this terrible service. My finger hurts so much and like it looks like the skin was literally dug out. Dont goto this place. Find other places that are gentle

Review β„–45

Im not a fan. The woman who was sitting at the front desk and who I assumed to be running the place was rude from the beginning and then buffed my nails so hard it hurt and felt like burning. When I asked her to go easier she was super rude and snappy about it. She then made fun of me to the other woman she had abandoned mid-service to help me with a gel removal and they both laughed at me literally right in front of me. There are a lot of nail places in this area. I prefer strong healthy natural nails not ones that are completely wrecked and probably not to be made fun of for preferring them not to hurt me or to buff off my nails integrity. If you do too, maybe try another place.

Ive been going to Panther Lake nails for 13+ years and though I have occasionally went to other nail salons, nothing can compare to the quality if PLN. Kathy, the owner is my go to. The atmosphere and decor are far more elegant than most tacky nail salons, I feel very comfortable going to PLN and I dont plan on ever changing that.

The older gentleman started off arguing with me. Then after he asked me if I wanted round or square nails, he filed my nails to points. When I asked him to make them less pointy, he filed them down to practically nothing, also none of them are even. It felt like torture, when he was filing. I found out why when he was putting lotion on my hands, it started burning where he cut me. I can do a much better job.

Review β„–67

Ive been going here for years. PLN has always made me feel comfortable especially because I have a skin condition and I also get two false toe nails. They know how uncomfortable I am with other people looking at my toes. They make sure that Im away from other people before they put on the fake nails for me. They know and remember what I can an can not have on my skin. They take care of everyone that comes in and if that customer is not happy they make sure they fix what that customer is unhappy about so that they do walk away happy. I will always and always recommend people to come here.

Review β„–68

I went in yesterday to get my eyebrows waxed an started to experience alot of irritation an burning a little while after. As the hours passed after my waxing my skin around my brows begin to pill an scab up along the outer side of my brows where waxed. I didnt take no mind to the matter at the moment just figured my skin was irritatied due to the waxing, so i decided to just rinse my face an rest. The following day, I wake up an see two burns on both outer sides of my brows at this time Im experiencing extreme burning an irritation. So I called the shop an explain my burnt skin from there waxing, so she says come in. As I come in today I explain I came in yesterday to get my brows waxed an now my skin is burned where waxed. They were very hostile when I asked for a refund, try to say I done it to myself. Eventually after showing all the workers my burned skin from there wax, the manger finally gives me my refund. I wouldnt d recommend anyone to get there eyebrows waxed here.

Review β„–75

Literally the WORST nail place I’ve been. This place came highly recommend and it was the biggest disappointment. Immediately after I left the salon my pedicure nail polish came off. I asked for the SAME color on my nails and my toes and that is not what I got. My FiancΓ© got a mani/pedi and the treatment he got in comparison to what I got was completely different. The person who did his nails did NOT use a warm rag and complete the mani. She didn’t buff his nails (or toes) either. My mani is uneven, ridged, and nail polish is dried up UNDER my nails. $100 for people to not listen to you and what you’re coming in for, and to be rushed out of the door with embarrassing nails. I NEVER leave reviews, but I’m so upset and I hate the way we were treated and how our nails look after going to this place. Smh!
