What customers said about acrylic nails
Sky Nails & Spa 2The nail spot has a bunch of new eye cat colors. I had an idea about a nail color and design and Lynn Made it come true she’s amazing. You guys need to try this nail spot.
Monica Nails & SpaAlways come here when in Antioch! Great prices and great work! Customer service is good too, they always offer refreshments & most importantly they have the perfect color pink acrylic I like (which is hard to find)! Would definitely recommend! 😇
Bluerock Nail & SpaThis place is so friendly, clean, and flexible. Both times I’ve visited they squeezed me in quick even though they were busy. Jeni did an amazing job on my nails, she was thorough, making sure my nails were filed and shaped perfectly. When I asked her to add a couple flowers to my nails she did way better than I…

How we grade
Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.
Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
