Mai’s Nails

I came here after trying to go to my normal location of luxury nails and spa– won’t be going back there! I got a mani-​gel/​pedi I am happy with my results they both did a great job! My hands do not look dry and mangled like at luxury nails and spa. They only reason I didn’t give a 5 star was from something I witnessed. I was next to a lady getting her toes done as well she has «HORRIBLE NASTY» feet it was really bad and the tech worked on them and was using a scrub but she was putting her fingers in the main jar that with the same org. Gloves she had been working on the clients nasty feet with. And then went right back to touching her feet. Meaning the next person would be getting anything that was on that ladies feet on their own along with lord knows who else… Not to self no scrub pedi at this location NASTY! They need to change this to a squeeze bottle or smaller tubs to use x amount on each client vs one big one that just get contaminated

I recently moved to this area so I was looking for a new nail salon. I went here for a pedicure one day and while they did a good job I watched them turn away some customers claiming to have a long wait, but they took others right away that did not have appointments. I thought it was unfair and assumed that they were making room for customers that will spend more money (The customers they turned away only wanted polish and nail removals). The second time I went they turned me away. Needless to say I won’t be back. I went to another salon that was twice as busy but took every customer in a timely manner. I would recommend going somewhere else.

They did an okay job, but it looked like something i did at home. She missed spots on my nails and many were bumpy finishes. I’d only go here if it was just a blah day. Not for a special event though.

Thank you Tracy and Jen for my pretty nails — best place in town! Olivia loves her owl toes! Thank you!

Told my sister and I we would be waiting only 5 – 10 minutes to be seen. Weren’t seen until 45 minutes later. Service was fine but the unreliable wait time set our whole day behind!!!

I’ve been to quite a few nail salons in the area. I love this place because of the great service, affordable prices, and they do an excellent job. I’ve had manicures and pedicures from multiple estheticians there and have been happy with every service. Ask for Tracy or Lucy.

I came to get a set of white tips and my nails turned out great. The lady’s were kind and did a great job. I look forward to coming back to get a pedicure.

3.5 Stars! I used this place for the first time yesterday for a Pedicure. I just dropped in because my favorite place down the road has limited hours and closes at 6. This place closes at 7. I walked in at 6, and they took me right away with no problem. The staff was pleasant. The place looks clean. Nice pictures on the wall. Not the newest Pedi chairs but very serviceable. I did the European Pedi, $ 30, which has the extra sugar scrub, foot mask, and 10 minute massage. The regular Pedi is $ 18. She did a cute spiderweb design for Halloween, for $ 5. I was done at 6:45. If you just need to get ‘er done girls, this place does the job nicely. Why not a higher star rating? My only complaint was that it was a hot evening and it was too warm inside, especially when I’ve got my feet in hot water! All the ladies there were very tiny in stature and probably get cold with the air on. They had the doors open, some dummy was outside fixing his car with the alarm going off every couple minutes, and that was eating into my wanna-​be spa reverie! I would try them again.

I’ve only been here once and I’m giving them a 4 star review for kindly fixing the mess of another salon! I desperately needed my acrylics removed as I would never trust myself to do it properly.
The woman who removed them was very kind and as she was removing them kept remarking how badly done the job had been. The acrylics were actually hued to my cuticles making it a pain to get off. For only 19 dollars for am acrylic removal it was worth every penny. I did not get a manicure or anything so I can’t rate based on anything else but I’m definitely willing to give then a try sometime. It was a nice looking place and not overpriced from what I could see.

I have been to many places throughout SD to find the best nail tech for my acrylics. Tracy is that person. She is very detailed and can do any style or design you want.

Amazing salon! They are so friendly and do a wonderful job. I get gel and they cover the nail perfectly and it stays on even longer than normal.
I hadn’t found a place I loved since I moved here. This is my new spot.

I’ve been going to Tracy for a over a year now and she never disappoints! She is very clean and detail oriented. I always come in with some crazy idea and she always delivers! Thanks Tracy!

I really don’t understand why anyone would put a low rating on this nail salon. I have been going here for a couple years and everything I walk of here I have very happy with the service.
Lilly and summer are great! They are always so sweet yet funny. They are also very accommodating! There are a few times I needed to get in and out within 45 minutes and like always they are awesome at staying in that time frame! They have hire a few new employees whom are also great. Tracey I think is her name is darling! Overall I definitely give them 5 stars on customer service. Will be coming back again and again!

Not sure why their rating is so low. I love Tracey and her sister Summer. They are super detailed and do an amazing job. I have been going to the two of them for about 2 years

Tracy is amazing — she takes her time when she does your nails files them perfectly and draws so well — she can design anything you bring in from pinterest.
Her sister Jen does the best pedicures!
The shop is great and their service is stellar!

Lily is always so welcoming and she is so good and fast! She won’t let you walk out till it’s perfect I love that about her! She always remembers me too when I come in I don’t get my nails done often. But when I do it’s cheap and she’s quick.

Mai’s nails is under new ownership and the staff is great. I followed my nail technician to this new location. They do a wonderful job every time. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

AWFUL. my gel nails came out smudged AND peeled off the next day. Waste of money. And my daughter’s mani was sloppy. The staff was very rude also. DONT GO THERE.

I’m never returning back here. I’ve been here before every now and then because it’s cheaper than other places. I have a natural shape and fairly low maintenance eyebrows was just looking to get it cleaned up and slightly reshaped. But after today just doing it myself would be better than to have my eyebrow have a slash because she waxed or over trimmed my left eyebrow crooked in the middle so now I’m missing hairs because she thinned it out making it look like a bald line in the center, it looks horrendous like gangster. And then she said come back in a month so she can fix it? Just so it can get worse? I’m sorry not coming back here to risk it.

I’m not sure what the name was of the woman who did my pedicure. Everything seemed normal until she cut my cuticles. Some of them were cut unevenly and others so short that they stung when my feet went back in the water. Everything else seemed unremarkable until I looked at my nails when she was done.
1) The edges of some nails were not even painted and will peel within days as a result
2) The paint is uneven and my nails show through in places
3) The «flower» design was a few dots that didn’t connect.
When I looked close and commented that I could see through the uneven polish, the woman argued with me and told me it was the paint’s fault. In fact, that’s what happens when you don’t let each coat dry. No offer to fix it. Just rude arguments. I am a small business owner and would never treat customers this way!
Holly took care of my mom and always does a great job. This woman had slightly bleached, curly hair. I’ll never go back. What a waste.
Please feel free to contact me if you’d like to make it up to my mom for wasting her money.
