Review from Google · view on GoogleI got the Deluxe Gel Pedicure at 88 Nails and I don’t think I’ve ever been so relaxed during a pedicure! As a mom, I rarely get an hour completely to myself, so being able to just sit in peace, enjoy the massage, and actually relax without feeling rushed out the door was AMAZING. The scents of the foot soak and scrubs were delightful, and the hot stones were so soothing. The whole experience felt like such a treat and exactly what I needed. My toes look beautiful, but honestly, the relaxation alone was worth it. 😂 I will absolutely be back for another Deluxe Pedicure!

Review from Google · view on GoogleI took my girlfriend here to get a simple set done just plain white nails and plain white toes and somehow it came out to $117. For that price I expected much better quality. The nails already had small imperfections/chips, and not even a week later they started chipping even more. There was nothing complicated about the design, no crazy artwork or anything, just a basic white set. It’s frustrating paying premium prices and not getting a manicure that lasts. Really disappointed with the quality for what we paid. I wouldn’t recommend unless the durability improves.

Response from the owner · 4 months ago
Hi, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We'd like to clarify that the total of $117 reflected the services your girlfriend chose, and our prices are discussed before the service begins. Nail durability also depends on how the nails are cared for after the appointment. Daily activities, using nails as tools, exposure to chemicals, or improper aftercare can all affect how long a manicure lasts. While no manicure is indestructible, it's uncommon for our work to chip within a week. If there was a genuine issue with the service, we wish you had contacted us first. We always try to inspect the nails and make things right whenever appropriate. We appreciate honest feedback, but we also hope reviews fairly represent both the services received and the opportunity we provide to resolve concerns.

Review from Google · view on GoogleI got gel x done here a week ago, in that time five nails popped off!! I’ve been getting my nails done for 15 years and that’s never happened… When the first two popped off I called in. They asked me to come at 1, at 1:50 they fixed my two nails for free but they gave me a bad cut from rushing through it. I’m glad the salon replied to address the time it took, which I do have time stamps on as well but not the cut they gave me or the fact that gel x that should last 3-4 weeks are already 90% popped off after only 9 days. The repaired nails are also already starting to lift. I’m not sure how this salon has such great reviews because they failed to do an okay job twice. I’ve attached photos. This is the cut three days out. It bled for two days.
Response from the owner · 5 months ago
Hi , we’re sorry you feel disappointed. During a very busy holiday period, we still tried our best to accommodate you quickly for a complimentary repair because we wanted you to enjoy your nails for the holiday. However, we do want to clarify that your timeline of events is not accurate based on our records. Our team made an effort to fit you in despite a full schedule, and we are disappointed that this was not acknowledged. We always welcome honest feedback, but we also believe reviews should reflect the full experience fairly. We value all of our clients and will continue doing our best to provide quality service, even during our busiest times.
