Solar nails was always my favorite nail salon in lockport as I never thought the other salons around were as good. However, I feel as though Im always leaving there with some small issue that I felt they could have done a better job on. For example all of my acrylic nails wouldnt be the same length or the shape may be off on a couple nails, but it has never been a big enough issue to stop me from going there. I recently had an acrylic nail fall off and underneath I found my nail to be covered in fungus. This disgusted me beyond belief so I decided to take off the rest of my nails to find that there was fungus on 7/10 of nails. My friend who I go there with also had fungus on 2 of her nails. I decided to take mine off myself as I never want to go back there for the negligence and uncleanliness that they displayed by giving me fungus to begin with. However, my friend went there to get her acrylic nails removed and the nail technician ripped them off of her fingers, causing her an immense amount of pain and making her fingers bleed. They do not seem to care about the health and safety of their customers and only care about making money. I will NEVER be going to this establishment again.
Lovely place with lovely staff! I think my nails are absolutely beautiful! The lady who did my nails was super sweet! The staff laughed a lot which I liked a lot. Everyone was super sweet and professional. I even got to get in a little early! The place was filled with staff which is different from my other nail experiences. Overall lived for it!
I do not recommend this place. The staff will rush through your nails. I’ve gotten multiple full sets here and each time the staff was very disrespectful and they cut my finger nails until i was gushing blood twice. As i was bleeding, the staff showed me my hand and shrugged her shoulders, and went back to drilling. Their prices have increased drastically since covid also.
Decent prices, not a long wait even on a Saturday, nice staff, nice pedicure/manicure job. I gave four stars only because my spa pedicure lasted 40 minutes versus the listed 45. No water offered like Ive experienced at other places. But good experience overall
I love this nail shop this is The only one I would go to it is so clean they are polite people and I do very well on nails you should try them out.
This place is very nice. It’s clean, they have a lot of staff on hand and everyone is polite and professional. So far I have only had Donny do my nails, he does a great job. I’m thinking of getting more services next time I go. Definitely, give this spa a shot.
They do a great job on my nails,I get the pink and white acrylic done so they look like a French manicure with out the polish, Michael does my nails,he listens to what I ask for and does it! Im very happy and love my nails I would highly recommend them!
This place is great! Very friendly and attentive. Been going here for years. Nice selection of Polish too.
Amazing work every time I go. The staff is so friendly, their prices are great, and Im always able to get in quickly! Its a far drive from my house, but well worth it.
Every so often got to get a Pedi and it was awesome! Great job SOLAR!
Excellent service, fair prices & best nail work Ive ever had. Would recommend trying them to everyone I know. Vicki did an awesome job!!!
Friendly staff. Great service! I couldnt believe how fast a full set went on, and they look flawless. Ill be back.
This place has 0 recognition of what a TRUE salon is. NEVER GO HERE! Rude people, terrible work, terrible nails, terrible everything!! these people are rude and inconsiderate, my nails were ruined for months after going here! seems other people were bleeding, the only people who find this place appealing is elderly woman. NEVER go here ! this place will mess you up.
Many of the pictures provided on the website aren’t their’s and taken from the internet. I’ve never been here and I have the common sense to never let these people get the chance to touch my nails. It’s pretty obvious these people do a very poor job based on the reviews. There are people that claim they were left with bloody and obliterated nails. Their fake and phony’s and their website isn’t even real.
I went to get my nails taken off, they are supposed to soak them off and they RIPPED my acrylics off causing pain and bleeding. she stabbed my actual nail and did not apologize or anything, didn’t sanitize my cuts or anything, paid $50 for my nails to be BRUTALLY torn apart. when i asked why she was doing it to stop and soak them off like they are supposed to, she said they don’t soak them off there, which is a complete lie. caused me immense pain and bleeding, WILL NOT BE GOING BACK!
2.5 hr wait for a basic pedicure today... not their usual timeliness. My tech Jenna...was awesome.
Was ok overall.. Was busy but, told no wait for service. We were sat but still waited 25mins if not longer for someone to come to my friend & I..
My first experience was great Michael did a great job.My second experience wasnt as good as the lady who did my acrylic filling did a horrible job. Nails are uneven and overfiled. Plus she overcharged based on prices posted in the store.
They took my temperature as soon as i went inside. They have plexiglass up between each operator and client and a barrier on the sides separating the next client. What i noticed was they were not cleaning the surfaces between customers. They did have big Germ X bottles each station though. My nails were done fine. .
Asked for a nail design and would not have been mad if the lady said she couldn’t do it and I would’ve done something else. But she said she could and it looks like I did it
My wife is so upset we have went here 4 times and 2 of the 4 times were good this time the lady rushed it and when she was using the tool to take off the acrylic it was burning her nail and when she told the lady she did not stop there is nail polish all over my wifes hand and they are so sharp my wife has to file them her self now ill never pay for my wife to go there again
This is a great place to have your nails done! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Everytime my girls, my mother-in-law and I go, we leave very satisfied with their work!
They ran out of hot water, people are upset and leaving Im still hanging out waiting .......
Clean and friendly place.... will come back again
Hubby & I made a appointment for a pedicure. Took us early & did a nice job. Our feet & toes look & feel lovely.
My favorite nail salon in the Lockport area.
I asked about getting eyelash extensions after my pedicure and eyebrows and when I said I no longer wanted to do it they did a horrible job on my pedicure and messed one of my eyebrows
Ive had three different techs and each are great and salon is very clean
Very rushed through, streaks from brush on polish, looks awful, nails are uneven in size and shape. Just very sad I wasted so much money
They will not get any more business their rude harsh an no people skills very ruffan had my child bleeding hell no not again
Im getting real tired of going to these salons that dont really cut the cuticles well for a pedicure. After the oil washes away, youre left with white, dry cuticle. Theyre not fooling anyone. I really miss an American Salon. Tired of these divas!
This staff is friendly and the places clean they do a very nice job
Came here 5 days ago for a gel mani pedi. The next day the gel was cracking and coming off. Not to mention i had to file my nails down to make them even and get the bumps off the edges... Super disappointed 😥
Very busy and quickly
Overall they so a good job...however, sometimes the wait is very long even if they tell you no wait. Sometimes your feet sit in the water for half hour before someone waits on you.
Very good service and clean. I had a few acrylic nails removed and my nails polished for $25. I thought the price was steep. But it is what it is, very good experience
Walking in the door the strength of the smell took my breath away. Their response to their poor ventilation was to open the door. When I said I should have brought a mask, they gave me one. I wanted a dip (girlfriend had recommended), I had gel that I had taken off the night before. When I sat down she pulled out the grinder, I said I didn’t want that because it destroys your nails. She started saying fine but don’t get mad at me if they don’t stay on (I didnt realize dip was like acrylic). I told I had taken off the he’ll last night couldn’t she rough up the surface by hand. So she filed my nails, roughed the surface and proceeded to do my nails. No soaking, no pushing back or trimming cuticles, no lotion/massage or hot wax dip. My nails are nice but not $40 worth. Worst “manicure” ever. Will not make the mistake of walking in there again!
Always a great experience!
Awsome service been commin here for 2 yrs stopped last yr lots of new things great job han
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I had the Organic Green Tea Spa Pedicure that comes preboxed. It felt wonderful and the smell is not too strong and very pleasant . I enjoyed the service very much. Its a little noisy but typical of a busy Nail business. The cleaning ofthe spa bath was immediate and I felt comfortable that the basins are cleaned and sanitized.
My visit to solar nails was the most disappointing ever. Paid $40 for what was supposed to be a full manicure and powder dip. My hands look horrible. I have been getting powder dip from a different salon for about a year with wonderful results. My regular technician was not available so I thought I would give solar nails a try - BIG MISTAKE. No manicure and tech had no clue as to what he was doing. I will never go back. Go at your own risk. Clue should have been that there were no customers waiting and salon wasneR empty.
I had a full set of gel nails put on and within 10 days, 6 nails had fallen off. I didn’t do anything in that time frame that would have caused the nails to come loose and fall off. It was just poor quality work. I do not recommend, unless you want to waste your money.
Love this nail salon, cant wait until youre open again!
Always friendly...good service! And they always do a good job.
The service is very good when they understand what you want Unfortunately, I was not understood today when I told them three separate times how I was growing out my original nails so they didnt need trimmed or filed down and yet they clipped the one I needed fixed so when I have the acrylic nails removed, I will have one short nail. They need someone who understands what their customers wants. Once they get that, they will be amazing.
Jenna is the best. This spa is so much better than any salon in Lockport. If I could give 10 stars I would. Prices are cheaper than anywhere else and they treat you like youre friends not just a commission
Made an appointment ahead of time - over 30 minutes later still waiting, people having no appointment going before me. I finally inquired to the customers sitting waiting as well and asked “do appointments not matter, this is my first time here?”All 5 girls shook their head and told me nope they don’t care if you have appointment no point in making one, you’ll still end up waiting like the rest.
Love my nails
This place was disappointing. My mom and I stopped in to get our nails done with dip powder. We had been contemplating it for a while and saw that this place had good reviews so we figured we would try it. Instead of prepping our nails the right way they ground our cuticles off with a spinning tool and deeply gouged our nails instead of just buffing them to prep them for the dip. It really was the opposite of what a salon experience ought to be. They didn’t even do what they would have for a basic manicure.The dip looked nice but they did so many coats that our nails were all cracking the very next day. I went back in to have the cracked nails redone and the woman told me that I was “too rough” on them. The day after they were all cracked again.Once they all finally peeled off like a week later my nails had DEEP ridges and indentions on them from the way they ground down my nails. It has been almost two months since we went and all my nails are still ridged in the middle.I really wanted to give a good review, but it was really disappointing. I am not someone who spends a lot of money on my nails so to have this happen and have my nails be totally ruined after was really annoying.Definitely do your research before going here 🙈😳
I had been there before and I have had good service. This time round they were busy with prom, which I totally understand. Except, she hurried through my nails, I asked them to be buffed and they are barely shiny. I can see the fill lines, which she told me would never happen with their type of acrylic. And I have one lifting on the edge already and its only been a few days. Very critical on how my nails looked from another nail salon. Kept trying to talk me into having to get brand-new nails which is not necessary. I had someone to myself for a whole 20 minutes because she was in such a hurry. Will not go back
I have been going to Solar Nails for over 2 years. I have noticed the last 6 months that the quality of service has declined and they have gone to using a cheap polish. I had a manicure and pedicure on Wednesday. By Friday they were already chipping I went in on Saturday to have them fixed and was treated very rudely. I had asked for a dip a few months ago and I tried telling Beverly a true dip is the color of the dip she told me I was wrong and did a gel polish over the dip. It peeled within a week. I will be taking my services elsewhere from now on.
Have been going there years
Always a great experience and amazing selection of offerings. Pedis, manis, acrylics, gel, waxing, and the techs are always on top of their work and want to make sure youre happy. As someone who gets their nails (hands and feet) done often, I refuse to go elsewhere.
Excellent service.. Didnt have to wait to long.. Which was surprisingly for how busy they were..
I never go anywhere else. I love Jessica.
Always pleased w the service and the way my nails come out.
Love this place. Always great atmosphere and the workers are always nice and do an amazing job.
Went in to get my eyebrows waxed...the place next door had an hour wait...they saw me right away and did a great job!
First time getting a medi/ pedi and they were awesome. Very nice experience and place is very clean.
I needed a new salon as I wasnt pleased with changes since new owners took over my old solon. Tried this place for the first time and was satisfied with results! Ill go back!
Nice women who make it look easy
Is decent, just feels rushed.
Great service and nails always look perfect!
My go to spa for nails. Great technicians friendly. Great prices.
Very nice. They do a wonderful job!
It was awesome the technician I believe his name is Danny took his time with removing a broken nail that the actual nail was broken also..it shows they care about their customers
Nice people but could’ve went somewhere better. Nails aren’t the best.
My fingers and toes always look great when I leave !!
Beautiful nails, great service and super reasonable price!
Great service I had from Quinn on Monday 2/10 2020 this is update
Cleanest nail salon ive ever been in. They never reuse implements on clients without proper sanitation or sterilization. I get my own box labeled where they keep my nail files and use only on me when i come in. Very friendly and extremely talented staff. I always just do a walk in, and ive enver waited longer than 2 minutes for my service.
Love this place they are nice and do a great job!!
I go here for EVERYTHING all places near this place have cut me or my families fingers and toes or just done a terrible job but this place has yet to fail me or any of my family. Plus the prices are decent.
They do best nails ever.
Old polish had bubbles in it. Didnt have time to get my nails redone. Wont be back.
Kim does a fantastic job
Service excellent. Will go again.
