This was immediately after leaving the salon as they rushed through an SNS powder manicure and continuously told other guests they could be accommodated in way too short of time. When I expressed my concern I was told “it will wash off in a few washes” with no elaboration on how long that would be.This not my first dip manicure but by far my worst. Highly recommend any other nail salon (or even doing your own) over this one.

Worst pedicure ever… I felt like I paid 30 for a polish changeThe lady barely cut anything - such a rush job … all they cared about was getting money

Rushed and messy. Second time here... this time I was seated fast which was great but the woman who was taking care of me seem to be not a regular technician but one of the women from the front desk. She rushed through everything while taking calls and helping everyone who came in. Thats fine except she was super messy. I thought she was going to clean up the edges once she was done but she didnt. Once i asked if she can clean it, she didnt see what I was talking about. These pictures are not a good representation but my cuticles are clogged with polish. And it looks pretty bad. Not sure ill go there again.

Made an appointment for tip filling. in the 1st 5 min of my session, I kindly asked if they can remove the broken parts... the nail technician told me to come back the next day because she doesnt know how to... while she already removed polish, filed and cut my nails. I stayed (because i cant go to work with half finished tips!). then she glued a missing nail 45 degrees to my actual finger... then, after I asked her to re glue another try, she yelled in her language a laughed at me saying im Crazy! lol ( side note... this is beyond unprofessional and publically insulting a customer). then the rest of her attempts to do my nails were just cartoonishly sad and I dont even know how they stay open in business. all of my nails are different shapes, length and halfway painted with brush streaks. NEVER AGain. I actually tipped her well because I figured she will be jobless soon but then on my way out realized they overcharged me by $10 according to their menu.

Do not come here. Even though the location is convenient and prices are standard, its not worth it. Their furniture and equipment are extremely dirty, and there are flies in the salon. The drying stations also do not work. I got a basic pedicure (no lotion used at all, or massage done) and it looks awful. The lady doing my service was also extremely rough and it was very rushed.

Always get a great gel manicure and spa pedicure. The owner goes out of her way to greet me and thank me for my patronage. This is my neighborhood nail salon so of course I support it. All the girls in there are very friendly. The only thing I dont like our customers who seem to make it all about their conversations and not about everyone elses relaxation

Not the best manicure and pedicure in town, but the price is not too high either. But I realized quickly that they do not clean their instruments properly. Got fungi after a couple weeks and cant go back because of it although I miss my massage.

Good if you’re in a pickle. They’re incredibly nice but the actual nail job is so so. So if you’re in a pickle and need a quick mani, go. But don’t expect it to be the best mani you’ve ever gotten.

Never going back. By the way, if someone posts a review about the service and the personality of the technicians. The owner should never reply with comments about the technicians looks. Be professional and honest.

Efficient and friendly staff, clean space. Fairly small so it could get crowded during busy hours. Remember to bring cash for anything under $15. Regular manis are $12.75, or regular mani + 10-min chair massage is $21.

I like this place Because of the convinience. And there are a few good nail ladies. Naik jobs could be a little better and Prices are a bit higher than norm, but Everyone is super nice, just not a favorite place to get my nails done.

NEVER GOING BACK! To be super honest, I am not someone who writes review. I barely write any reviews for good or bad. But this time I felt I have to. I left this salon in anger. First, the nail technician yield at me for no absolute reason. Being a mother, i learned how to become more patient, so i let go. My pedicure all the sudden was done in less that 10 min. She rushed me to sit on the manicure chair. When I took a look at the my toes they were absolutely a messy, and the edges werent cut or clean and no filling. The nail technician continued to raise her voice at me when i told her that i am not happy with her work. The owner came in, and instead of asking her employee to calm down, she was trying to convince me that pedicure looks good. She was more worried about her other customers, shushing me. She kept asking me do you want for her to fix your nails, while the nail technician was still in my face showing her frustration. I cannot believe she was offering me to work with same technician! I was so pissed that at one point I almost left w/o paying. But of course, i didnt do that. I paid for my worst pedicure and left. I want to like this place because its so close to work but after 3 visits, NEVER AGAIN. It bothers me how some of us created this bad reputation to the nail salon employees. Now they consider all of us some useless people that cant cut their own nails. And its wrong to have this relationship because i really treat them with respect. But, in the other hand the owners should carry their guilt because i am 100% sure they treat them super bad, and frustration is transposed to the customers. BAD BAD BAD.

Horrible. I want to like this place because its so close to home but after 3 visits, no more. Great massage but beware the manicures! Unless you ask for a fresh set, dirty (eeeww) utensils and manicurists are always angry. Worst part is that they do crappy job (uneven color - and sloppy application -no space between cuticle and nail AND it only lasted one day!) Enter at your own risk. Im going back to Spa Belles.

I live in the neighborhood, and I can say this is my go-to place. The staff is lovely, and I have manicures and pedicures that last for ages. I have other options for manicures and pedicures in this neighborhood, but this is always my #1 choice.

I hosted a group of 9 and was disappointed once the bill came. Why? Because I booked regular manicures and pedicures but the service that was provided was the spa mani/pedi (which were standard services I received at many other salons which is why it wasnt alarming) Whats upsetting is that services that werent requested or properly communicated were done and I was only made away when it was time to pay. Its a very sly and shady thing to do and being given a bill that its more than double of my expectations Is not cool. When someone asks you do you want this or that as a kind gesture and then rings it up at the end without ever disclosing that these are actual paid services is like doing a bait and switch. this is the last time I host clients at this establishment and will not recommend to my colleagues.UPDATE/REPLY: Hello Grace, I dont think it will be useful to call at this point. Kassie confirmed my mani/pedis via text (no mention of spa or up-charges because that wasnt a regular service) and she also checked me out. I brought my surprise and disappointment to her at the very moment and because she couldnt do anything about it, called someone else who offered only a 10% discount. To answer your question - no, my clients did NOT request the spa services and were simply told that that is what they were getting when they were seated. I also confirmed that with my guest. If it were handled better at checkout, I would have patronized your establishment again.

Horrible!! Was 4 minutes late for my appointment they took somebody else instead and expected me to wait more than 45 minutes then tried to charge me additional $10 for fixing one cracked now. Very rude people go elsewhere.
