Snappy Nails and Spa

So I am torn on what kind of stars to give. I come here all the time and 90% of the techs here are good and know what they are doing. But when you get one who doesn’t it is horrible. Cindi and Lena are great! Honestly it’s the men that are horrible. I have had 3 different guys here and they have all been bad.
One even made me bleed. They guy today thought all he needed to do was cut my nails down a bit, rub my legs and paint my nails for a DELUXE pedicure. He didn’t want to do my cuticles, clean under my nails or cut down the corners. He literally tried 2 clips on my big toes and thought that was good. I have really rounded toe nails and I get ingrown nails easily. That whole reason I get pedicures is to keep that from happening. I can cut and paint my own nails for free if that’s all I needed. I had to ask him 3 times to clean under them and do the corners. He said he would RIGHT BEFORE HE PAINTED THEM.
I was supposed to get a Paraffin wax treatment and he brought the bags out all chunky. I told him they needed to be hotter and melted but he said no and just tried to smooth it on my feet. I finally made him take them off and was done.
I like that there is no waiting and I can just walk in but from now on I will have to make an spot ahead of time to make sure I get Cindi or Lena. There are other good WOMEN techs but I won’t be taking any more chances.

My husband and I recently moved to the area and I decided to give this salon a try because I had seen another Snappy Nails in Denver and thought maybe it was a little local chain. I called ahead to see how long the wait was and was told there was no wait. After arriving I took a number like I was at the deli in King Soopers and waited to be called.
It’s a big salon with over 10 nail techs working. After a few minutes of waiting I’m seated and the tech starts making some small talk and tells me that she doesn’t like living in Aurora because «there are too many blacks and Mexicans here». I’m SHOCKED. My husband is Mexican, and my baby is half mexican. What a disgusting thing to say. The «blacks and Mexicans» she was complaining about are pay her bills and I’m sure she has no problem accepting their money. I don’t know why she felt comfortable sharing this with me but I basically sat in silence for the remainder of the manicure. I should have gotten up and walked out. I will NEVER be back to this salon and I would never recommend it to anyone based on the racist and ignorant nail tech and how dirty it was inside. There was long black hair all over the bathroom floor like someone has just blow dried their hair.
At first I thought it could be my new salon because there was no wait and they had a lot of techs working. I quickly decided I would never be back. What also bothered me was how she asked how I would be paying and made sure to let me know she prefers a cash tip. Ok, so you’re going to make some super racist comments to me but «please make sure you give me a cash tip!». Please do not support this business!

We frequent here quite a bit. I haven’t found another nail salon that does a great of a job as these guys do. The staff is friendly. They get pretty busy, but there is ever an extremely long wait. I think the longest we have waited was 15 minutes. There are plenty of salons closer to our house, but we make the drive to come over here.

I am very happy with my nails. I started from scratch and she really took the time to shape my tips so they were even. She also filed the acrylic down so they are not really thick. They don’t hurt like usual when I get new nails put on. I am very happy how they turned out.
The only downside is my technician kept getting up to cash out other customers so I sat there waiting a lot. Also, the technician, helping the girl next to me, left her midway to go wax eyebrows for a customer that just walked in. So she had to wait for her to get done and come back.
Other than that I thought it was great. My full set of black tips was $ 45. But I do feel like she put in the labor and time that made it worth it. She did not try to rush the process. i would return here again.

They are really friendly and nice !!! Even though I’m young they treated me great. She kept asking if I was okay with what she was doing and she did just what I wanted without constantly asking me if I wanted anything else that I didn’t want! They’re great

I have mixed reviews on this nail salon. The main reason I like this nail salon is because I can go in whenever I feel like and do not have to make an appointment! I have to say that this place can be comical coming as a walk in. First you come in and sign your name, phone number, and what type of service you would like. Ok that’s pretty normal. But the second funny part is that you have to take a number like your at motor vehicle! If your new like I was the first time. I went to sit down thinking someone will call me. Until one of the ladies came and asked in front of everyone what I was there for! So whatever you want you better be prepared to say in front of everyone! The second comical thing is once they take you to your nail station they ask for that number again just like motor vehicle. So in my case I have a large purse and I’m trying to fish it out hoping they are not going to send me home if I can’t find it! I panic wondering if they will not give me a manicure and pedicure over that ticket! It’s very comical! In my opinion this place gives a decent pedicure. They take a decent amount of time to make sure your feet look beautiful. As far as the nail gel manicure I have not been impressed. I went three times to have this done and each time the manicure chipped within the first week. I tried three different people to see if that was the problem and it was not. So I have not given them another chance in the gel manicure area. As far as the pedicure they take their time. I wanted art designs on my feet and they were creative and did a great job. In my opinion this place is great for walk ins and pedicures.

Today I went in for the third time for eyebrow waxing, I just ask for a little bit of clean up and shape and I always ask them not to take too much. Usually they are not very friendly and are always rushing but they do a decent job, well today was a different story, this lady left me with two tiny crooked strips for eyebrows, when I asked her why she took so much she just said «no I don’t take too much, you have one bigger than other» and walked away. I am livid!!! It takes me for ever to grow my eyebrows!!!
Do your self a favor and don’t go there for waxing.

Worst salon experience ever!!! Went in for a full shellac set with the intention of doing nail art as well. Sat with Helena. Showed her a Pinterest of multi-​colored nails with artwork. She said she could do exactly what I wanted.
A few nails in, it looked like she was doing a french tip and I asked her why and if she was going to paint over it to create what I asked for. She kept saying yes. She ended up not doing what I asked for after all and blamed it on me that I didn’t tell her. Not sure how showing a picture and her agreeing to do it on top of questioning her midway through wasn’t enough.
In addition she was so rough that half my cuticles were bleeding and 3 days later my nails still hurt. I asked her and the front desk person as well as a phone call prior as to what the cost was and they charged me $ 10 more than quoted on top of all the horrible experience I still had. Also, she was hard selling me other services so much I had to tell her no 3 times. Needless to say, I will not EVER go back.

Just had a pedicure here for the first time. I’ve tried the two other salons across the street, as all are near my home and I have to say I love this place. It’s large and they have plenty of seating. I got here at 11 on a Wednesday and there was no waiting. I showed Hanna a quick picture of my baseball design that I wanted as I’m going to spring training in a couple days. It came out perfect! I also had a horrible ingrown toenail, before she began it was sensitive. She took everything out and it hurt a bit, but it hurt before she started. She even checked with me that I was doing okay, and now it feels great. I think I may have found my place after several years. Will be back for sure!

Fast and friendly service. Went in for a wax and was pleased with the attention to detail and time the lady spent to make sure everything was perfect on my face!

Worst pedicure ever… Nini cut and bruised my big toe. I thought this would be a nice place to get my nails done but I would not recommend them to
anyone.

This place has sadly gone down hill quickly. The customer service no longer exists. It seems that the young employees have taken over and it is a free for all of texting while doing nails, gossip and literal game playing in the back of the shop. Save yourself a headache, go some where else.

Quiet, clean, overall good experience. Angie gave the most incredible foot massage. A little pricey, so it will be an occasional treat, but I will be back.

Always able to get in. I bring my own polish even though they have tons of colors to choose from!
Everyone is always friendly. Most know be by name. Not to chatty, which I like.

Worst gel manicure ever! Very disappointed. But I was in and out in under 30 minutes… so I guess the «snappy» part is accurate. The guy never let my nails cure under the lamp for the entire length of time and he did not use an alcohol prep prior to putting on the gel polish. My cuticles look shaggy and the Polish is splotchy. Much better salons in the area. Plus some of the other nail techs were on their smoke break right in front if the salon… gross.

I used to love Snappy Nails and have recommended them to several friends over the years. I’ve noticed their service seriously deteriorating over the past two years, though. The massage portion of the pedicure is pretty much nonexistent unless you upgrade to the deluxe price. And during my most recent pedicure, the guy cut my toe open — it hurt so bad and it bled and bled. He used a styptic pen to stop the blood, but it still took a long time to stop. Then he sort of glued the cut together with super glue. Who knew you could have minor surgery done at Snappy Nails? My toe still hurts and looks like hamburger a day later. Very aggravating. And I get that accidents happen, but in my opinion, if you maim a customer, their damn pedicure should be free. Mine wasn’t. Very disappointed.

I took an out of towner here two weeks ago, after reading reviews. I can honestly say, my fingers have never been in so much pain. My nails are on the smaller side, so when I requested a full set, I was sure to point that out. The technician still left them far too wide even AFTER I asked a couple times for them to be reduced. I managed to keep them on for a week, but by then, my left hand (ring finger) had swollen up so bad that my wedding ring had to be pried off. The culprit was a finger nail growing INTO the tip of my fingernail because not only were they sized incorrectly, but they were jagged and WAY too thick to even consider keeping them off. I waited two weeks and soaked my nails in acetone for over an hour, they STILL had to be pried off. Most painful experience with my nails ever. I have open sores on multiple fingers because of the jagged nails. I will never go back to this place. Just thinking about how uneven the gel was and how horrible it looked, I was embarassed when people asked to see them closely.

They are so-​so. They have a potential to be a great business, they have so many technicians to help you. Not too friendly. I went there twice. I only returned because they had a 20% off sale … That’s the only reason I went back.
I don’t particularly have anything to say that’s really negative. It wasn’t terrible or awful. The first time I went, I had Nancy, who was very good.
I agree with a lot of the other reviewers, they are VERY expensive. And I agree with another woman who said that there is a better nail salon which is MUCH better in the same intersection of Hampden and Tower.

Been going here since I first moved to Colorado. They are friendly and have great pedicure services. :)

This is a good place to go get your toe nails done while in Aurora. I have gone here approximately 3 times with a friend that lives in Aurora and never had any complaints. I wish they would be a little bit cheaper here it is about $ 27.00 for the pedicure with a little flower added. One nice thing which I have never seen before is that they offer you a cold bottle of water when you come in and sit down. I was like wow thank you I was thirsty.
I have never gotten my nails done here so I can not testify to the that but as far as pedicures go I like it. I wish they would get a few more colors in their choice brackets but other than that it is good.
