I have always loved this place but I am very disappointed with the service that I received October 23. I paid nearly $30 for a classic manicure and did not get lotion or a massage and two days later the polish is already coming off. I feel like it was complete waste of time of money.

Henry was so very kind and awesome!!! We did not have appointments and they took us back almost immediately. Henry painted a pumpkin on two of my nails and it turned out exactly like the picture. I will come back here again for sure. I recommend this place and definitely ask for Henry.

Response from the owner · 2 days ago

Leigh, first and foremost, thank you for your continued support and for sharing your experience with us. It truly means a lot to hear that you’ve always loved Cellini, which makes it even more disappointing to know that your most recent visit did not meet the expectations we’ve worked hard to establish. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your concerns with both the manicure experience and the polish longevity. While our classic manicure is designed to provide essential nail care, we understand that the finishing touches, including lotion and massage, can make a meaningful difference in the overall experience. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as we always want our guests to feel comfortable, cared for, and satisfied with their services. Regarding the polish, traditional nail lacquer can vary in longevity depending on several factors, but we certainly understand your disappointment with the chipping you experienced. At Cellini, we take pride in our work and stand behind our services with a complimentary 7 day guarantee for eligible chipping or peeling concerns. Since your appointment was on October 23, we would be more than happy to welcome you back and address the polish at no additional charge under that policy. We also attempted to locate your appointment in our system but were unable to confidently match it with the information available in your review. We would genuinely appreciate it if you could call or text us at (479) 995-2718 so our management team can personally follow up and help make things right. Leigh, we truly value the trust you’ve placed in Cellini through your previous visits. We hope you’ll give us the opportunity to turn this experience around and remind you why you enjoyed visiting us in the first place. – The Cellini Team

We know your time is valuable, Tara, and we never take it for granted that you choose to spend a little extra of it with us. Thank you for trusting Paul and continuing to make Cellini your destination for beautiful nails. We’re so grateful for your loyalty and look forward to making every visit worth the drive! – The Cellini Team
