Nini Nails & Spa

I don’t why people is saying that this is a good place, worst experience in my life with pedicure. The lady was soo rude, did my pedicure like in ten minutes soo in hurry. horrible service.

Went today and was pleasantly surprised. I had a pedicure, and it included the best foot rub I have had in a very long time. My legs and feet feel rejuvenated. I also had a gel french tip manicure. I am always hesitant with french tips because I get concerned that the white goes too low and looks hinky. Not the case here. They look wonderful. Very pleased and look forward to going back.

I just went today. Clean place and the pedicure didn’t take too long. Good prices for the services. I will go back and continue to if the service was like it was today.

Tracy ALWAYS knows the best color for me regarding work, personal, practical needs. When I bring friends & family Nini & Kim are wonderful as well.

I always enjoy going here. They are always able to get my in quickly. They do fast but excellent work on my nails. My feet always feel so soft after a pedicure and when I get gel nails, it doesn’t damage my nails. On top of all that, the price is hard to beat.

I was not a fun of this place at all. I went back because a day after receiving a gel manicure it was already chipped, they «fixed» the two chipped nails but later that same night they were chipped again, I was not doing anything that would warrant the chips. Spend the extra five bucks and go to one of the other two places across the street

I love this place. Everyone who works there remembers my name. Not just me, seems like they know all the customers by name– even when I call, they know it’s me. Everyone is polite and friendly, and they do fast but fabulous work. The salon is clean and new too. I pay $ 30 for a french shellac that lasts for a month no matter which person is helping me. They heat the lotion used for manis and pedis which is wonderful, especially in the winter! I would absolutely recommend this nail salon to anyone who is looking for a place to be a regular– plus they have the best prices in town. Side note: be prepared to pay the credit card processing fee of about 3% if you use plastic. This isn’t a big deal for me because I love this place and want them to stay in business! I never used to regularly get my nails done, but with the invention of shellac and this salon, I think I’m hooked.

Ouch. I called to make an appointment and I told them I wanted gel extensions with a french manicure. I came in for my appointment and they took me right away but didn’t check for who I was, or what I called about so I thought that was kind of weird. I again explained that I wanted gel nail extensions since I am unfortunately a nail biter and my nails are quite short. I am going on vacation next week so I wanted to have some nice looking nails. The nail technician spoke very, very little english and spoke very quietly. About 10 minutes into the manicure, I wanted to double check. I asked «You’re doing the nail extensions right? My nails are so short» and she nodded and said «yes yes». About halfway through the manicure, I was pretty certain she was just doing the french manicure on my real nails but at this point I just let it go. I don’t really like to cause drama and sure enough, that was what I got. She also filed one nail down so badly it bled, and it is rather painful, even 8 hours later.
Despite the bleeding and the communication issue, the tech did seem very sweet. My stubby nails look so silly with their french manicure but if you can look past that, the paint job itself is decent and was only $ 25. I guess if you are really just looking for a cheap mani and possibly pedi and don’t really care what service you get (lol) you might not mind coming here.

I was very disappointed. I went in for a basic manicure and pedicure and it was a waste of my money. The pedicure spa was very clean but the quality was very bad. The nail polish selection was very limited and low quality. I did not want gel polish but the owner keep pressuring me to get it. Gel polish is not for everyone. I could have done a better job. The polish was very streaky, old, and clumpy. As for the manicure it was rushed because she had an agitated customer. I will never go back there again.

I love Nini’s Nails! This is my 4^th time here. I am always able to walk right in without an appointment. The price is $ 36 for a mani/​pedi. The quality of your experience depends on who you get. I’ve been lucky enough to get Nini herself several times and she is the best! If you’re looking for a place to get a quick, affordable mani/​pedi, Nini’s is the place to go.

Nini always takes good care of me !

I’m really disappointed with the manicure I got today. The artist was hasty and I felt as though she was rushing to get me out of her chair as fast as possible.
I felt this way at first during the pre-​paint processes, as the artist spent less than 5 minutes sculpting the nail and cuticle, but I have her the benefit of the doubt and let it go. In retrospect, I wish I would have said something about my preferences right away.
I usually and excitedly choose Essie polish when I go to a salon because I find it’s difficult for me to paint on evenly. Until today, I’ve always been very pleased and impressed with the way past manicurists have been able to apply the polish. Today — and granted, it could have been this particular polish — the woman finished the first coat with tons of streaks but assured me a second coat would take care of it. The second coat looked just as bad, and the polished clumped and bubbled. She began to start a third coat when I asked to switch the polish to assure that I wouldn’t have peeling nails in a matter of hours.
The woman did this graciously, and I know she was frustrated by my timely request but was nice about it — something I appreciate. But the second round of paint was just as rushed. The edges are uneven, the paint has bubbled and is all over my cuticles. I’m bummed, especially because I’ve been to this salon before and had a good experience. Plus, I just graduated from college and am as broke as ever but still always generously tip… I’m not sure if I will go back anytime soon, but would be willing to give it another chance.

I received the worst manicure at Nini Nails. The staff was not professional, the man that did my nails dug through what appeared to be a junk drawer to find a cuticle trimming tool. Then told me several times that my manicure would not last if I did not get Shellac manicure, when I clearly stated that I did not want a Shellac manicure. I then received the worst paint job ever. I will never go back, nor would I recommend anyone to visit this nail salon.

Despite the quality work they do the staff was unbelievably rude to my daughters and I. We booked an appointment 3 weeks ago for the girlsto have manis. Not only did we have to wait 40 minutes beyond our scheduled time, there was no apology and I was told my girls couldn’t get manis together as planned… also told they were too young even though they have an under 12 service offering for manis that we booked. I was told when I set it up there was no problem with their age. Come to find out they refused to do manis and I had to talk them into at least painting their nails for one’s birthday today. The cold indifference and lack of service in conjuction with the rude manner of the staff has turned me away from ever going back. Go anywhere else but here.

Attentive, friendly and not expensive, a great combination!

A group of 5 of us made appointments for a Friday afternoon (made 2 months in advance), as we were in town for a wedding. We walked in, told them we had an appointment, and they told 3 of us to sit down and wait, as there were only 2 employees free to start pedicures. How odd, considering the sign at the register says they work «by appointment only.» About 5 minutes after we walked in, another woman found herself in the same boat: with an appointment and nobody free to do her nails.
They got us all going eventually, but unfortunately it wasn’t really worth the wait. I’ve had far better manicures. I already had hangnails two days later, and the gel polish started peeling from the edges within 2 days as well. Maybe I’m spoiled by manicurists in Beverly Hills. Who knows. But I would definitely look elsewhere in the Madison area. About their only saving grace were the free cookies and drinks, which was a nice touch (and possibly necessary to entertain the masses whose appointments are never seemingly honored).

The place is nice and clean & staff are friendly. I went with a friend and we both had a spa pedicure. The foot/​leg massage was good. The massage chair was also nice. However, we both had issues with the completed pedicures. They missed painting the corner of one of my toes. My friend wound up with loose skin on the bottom of her foot which wasn’t removed. We had to go back to have the problems solved. Who has time for that? They were nice about taking care of it, but meh.

Avoid at all costs! Made an appointment yesterday for 11:00 am brow wax. Showed up today, told them I had an appointment at 11, and they said «we’re busy now, come back in an hour» … What? I’ve been to many, many salons across the country and never had people tell me to come back in an hour when I showed up for an appointment. Confused, I said, «No, i have an appointment» they said, «yes, but, we’re busy now.» Hmmm… Beyond annoyed that I biked out there to have them tell me to come back in an hour. Did it cross their minds that people have other stuff to do that sit around and wait? Or leave and come back? Hence the concept of an appointment. Not to mention they were just totally rude to me during the entire conversation.
Piece of advice — pay the extra $ 5 and go to a place that honors appointments, knows what ‘customer service means.’ Terrible experience, super annoyed.

If you want beautiful hands and feet, stop on in and ask for Nini or Tracey! These ladies are SO talented and friendly. You will have more pep in your step when you leave knowing that you look FABULOUS. I can’t recommend them enough.

I have been visiting Nini’s for over two years now, and they never disappoint. They provide awesome, friendly service in a clean, relaxing atmosphere despite an unfortunate location.
They always make time for me and are great with my daughter — who they’ve pretty much known since before she was born! Their prices are very reasonable — and you get alot for your money.
The few times I’ve ventured to try another nail salon in Madison, I’ve been universally disappointed. Nini’s is really top-​notch!
