Gel Polish Nails & Spa

I appreciate giving businesses a second chance. The management team invited me to come back and I did. This experience was much better. The team was friendly and polite. They did an excellent job on my pedicure and gel manicure.

This salon is simple and quaint. I was in the area on business today and took the opportunity to stop in. I got the VIP pedicure with ten minute massage. $ 35. I didn’t want callus removal so they substituted paraffin for free! The massage was great. Tina was my manicurist today. She went over her massage time just to get each foot equally. I wanted to nap she was so gentle. The nail polish application was great. I left feeling exfoliated, moisturized and not greasy. It was very nice! I would come back for sure.

I’ve always had a good experience. Never feel rushed and always welcoming. My nails always turn out nice and they pay attention to detail.

Tina and Ven did wonderful jobs! Amazing customer service! They stayed a bit later on Christmas Eve just so I could get my nails done! I would definitely come again!

I have to say, the ladies were very nice… about not giving you what you wanted.
I came in for my 10:30am appointment. Vivian wasn’t ready, but I was not in a hurry on this Sunday morning. I got a Pedi while waiting for my gel-​fill.
The water was very cold and after being asked if it was okay, I told her it was cold and she said «So sorry, it’s morning time; it will be warm later». (My eyes are wide… in shock).
Vivian comes 30 mins later (no problem) after she’s done with her client. I asked her if I could use my Unilocal coupon for my free designs. She said it was for nails only… not toes!!! Okay, I’ve got nails on my hands and feet… and this coupon doesn’t say «HANDS ONLY»!!! And I’m getting hands and feet done!!! Really??? And my feet are still in this Arctic Ice Bath!!! Not hot water. It’s cold in here!!!
The lady doing my feet asked if I wanted the callus remover or hot wax. I declined. She said I needed it. That was not true because I removed it before I got there.
She didn’t half smooth my feet with the stone. She may as well have flipped me «The Bird Finger» because that’s how I felt!!! $ 30 for a fill $ 20 for a cold foot bath with a polish I would not have gotten if I’d known it would not have been designed. $ 11 in tips. I will not be back.
So tired of not getting customer service.

The service is good, ladies are sweet, and the quality of the nails are great! I went to Starline Nails and Spa and this is not a comparison. This place is very clean, well equipped, and clearly an organized place. The only bad thing I would have to admit about this nail place is that the prices are definitely pricy. My gel was $ 30 compared to what I used to pay and a pedicure is $ 25.

I will never go here again. Really rude staff that won’t accept no for an answer. They asked me 4 times if I wanted gel and I said no! No! No! They said it lasts longer. I don’t care. I don’t like the idea of soaking my nails in acetone. Please respect me.
I choose my finger nail polish and it was a pale pink. They lady said it was not as good as the other poi because it’s not as shiny. I said no. After 3 times I finally said yes and she said it’s an extra $ 5. Okay fine.
Then the pedicure lady asked to upsell me on the foot scrub and I said no. She said I needed it. I said no because I’m very ticklish. She said she’d be gentle. I say no!
She asks if I want a design on my toe and I say no. She said she can do a design. No! Omg! Fine, I let her do a design. Get me out of here. Never ever again!!!

I was looking for a nail spa after moving to rsm and happened to walk in here… so glad I did! I’ve been giving my nails a break from acrylic and trying to go natural. Vivian told me to try this powder gel stuff… it’s great! My nails are beautiful and strong without acrylic. No lights to dry or machines that grind and hurt. This will definitely be my regular place to go!

Well it was time for me to get my gel mani and pedicure but to my disappointment Henry no longer works here anymore. I had to find another nail salon to get my nails done.

Hate to leave bad reviews but felt like it was necessary, I came in last Sunday to get a full set of long acrylics. I left with a few cuts on my hands because the lady who was doing my nails (forgot her name) was a little too rough and cut me a few times with the electric nail file. Resulting in a cut on my cuticle that I now have to put anti fungal ointment on. She also sprayed some sort of liquid onto my cut that burned me so bad and said «it’s because your skin is too thin.» I also watched her pour a liquid she was using to apply the acrylics on me, back into a bottle when she was done and put it back into her station. As if she didn’t want to waste it. I felt as though that was very unsanitary and I have never seen (in my years of getting my nails done) someone do that before. She was a very nice lady which is why I feel bad writing this review but I took my nails off two days after I had them on because they were nothing like the picture that I showed her and because I have to now take care of a cut I have on my finger which is now infected. I came here after reading all of the good reviews but left very disappointed after spending $ 35 to get an infection, will not be returning.

I visit this salon every time I’m in the area. It has become one of my favorite spots to get my nails done. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to get a regular polish manicure. I was also offered some water while I was getting my nails done. She did an amazing job, considering the OPI polish was kind of sheer but I loved the color too much to choose another one. She made sure the color showed. The polish lasted for over a week before it showed any signs of chipping. That’s what I call a great job! This last time, I stopped by as a last minute decision, on a Sunday afternoon. Lucky for me, there was only one other client getting her nails done when I got there. But about 15 minutes after I sat down, they had a full house and there was even someone waiting. Definitely making an appointment next time, just so I can secure my spot.
Pros:
— Plenty of parking
— Friendly staff
— Relaxing vibe
— Very clean
— Great music
— Wide selection of colors
— Great pricing

I went to this place for the first time yesterday. They were nice and friendly and they did a good job. I only get my nails done every month or so — so I didn’t like it well enough to leave my regular nail salon, especially bc the other one is cheaper — but I would go back if I was in a bind.

I visited this salon for the first time last Friday and although I have not had the time to write a review until now, I figured better late than never. I arrived when they first opened and I was pretty hopeful that I would have a good experience as I was not only the first client but the only one there. I got a spa pedicure and a pink and white fill.
First, when I sat down in the pedicure chair I was told to soak my feet. After putting my foot in for a moment I asked them to put some cold water in which they said they could not do because something was wrong with the chair. My foot was completely red from the scalding hot water. Needless to say, I was disappointed. I actually did not even get to soak my feet during my pedicure which is completely ridiculous.
Second, the law states that nails salons are to use very specific methods for sanitizing and sterilizing their tools as well as the fact that buffers and nail files are not to be used on more than 1 client to prevent the spread of bacteria. When the lady sat down to do my feet, the buffer and nail file were both completely white from previous use. The tools did not come out of any sanitizing bag or equipment as I specifically saw them just pull the cart to me from the corner of the room. Keep in mind, I got there the moment they opened so it is not like they had done it before I arrived. I saw all 3 of the ladies walk in and I walked in right behind. After my pedicure, they just simply moved onto the next client and used the same tools, buffer, and nail file on her that they used on me. DISGUSTING.
I will say, my fill was done very well and my hands looked great but they clearly need to be updated on laws for cleaning and sanitizing their salon.

By far one of my favorite places to get a manicure and pedicure. Staff is very friendly, welcoming and very attentive. Environment is clean and relaxing. Very good pricing for the quality you get. And most importantly they do a very good job. I got my nails done by them 3 weeks ago and not a single chip, air bubble or crack! My go to spot!

I only get pedicures about once every 5 years, and since I am 37 weeks pregnant and too big to reach my toes, and my baby shower is this weekend, today was a very special day for me. I decided to find a place to get a pedicure, went on Unilocal and after reading a few places I decided to come here. I called and asked if they had room today, and the lady on the other end said yes and asked what time. I said as soon as possible, and she said, «Sure, come on down!» I got there and even though there were 3 other women getting pedicures, they sat me right down and began to work on me. I have had pedicures at a range of fancy places and this was as good as any pedicure I’ve gotten and for a very good price. It was $ 20 for a basic pedicure, and they had a sheet she showed me upgrades with various prices, and I got the «callus» for an extra $ 5. I am not sure if what she did was worth the extra $ 5 (my feet are pretty callused) but it felt good anyway. I got a simple pretty dark pink polish and was offered a flower (I am assuming for extra $) which I turned down. Once she was done she let me stay there drying as long as I wanted which was nice because I have felt rushed and kicked out before at other locations.
You know that feeling you get when you go into a nail salon where English is not the worker’s first language and you feel they are always talking about you? I did not experience that here at all, which made the experience very relaxing and comfortable. She was also very attentive to me and made sure I didn’t slip, since I am pregnant. It was nice she cared.
The only negative was I wish their prices were posted somewhere. When I called I asked what the price for a basic pedicure was and she said $ 20. The sheet she handed me that had extras did have the additional prices which was nice. The sheet listed a pedicure as $ 22 but I wasn’t going to argue. I still wish that at least the basic prices were posted somewhere though, it just makes me feel better.
If I am still living here in 5 years when I want my next pedicure, I will definitely come back.

I got there 25 minutes before closing time hoping they would take me, and they did right away. My nails were done by Kristine, she was very nice and didn’t rush at all. She talked me through it to make sure I got what I wanted and was pleased with my nails. I am a very picky customer, it is super hard to find someone that does french acrylic nails well because some people do the white line too thick and the pink too pink. I like a more natural looking nail even though its acrylic. Kristine did a wonderful job. The salon is very clean and organized, I was very pleased with everything, I really recommend Gel Polish Nails & Spa.

My wife has just been placed on hospice care, and it is very difficult for us to get her around. I went to Gel Polish, and asked if someone would go the extra mile, and come to our home to put on acrylic nails and do a pedicure. Within an hour, Cristine and her assistant arrived at our house. They very efficiently and quickly. performed the requested services. The result is very good, as seen by the attached photos. Christine is willing to go the extra mile. I had stopped at several other salons in town that were not willing to help us, including # One Pro Nails, with which we have been doing business for 10 years +. Give Cristine your business. We will in the future.

I admit i am a cheapo and have frequented the nail salon for my waxing needs. I have been waxed by helen 3 times now and every time i am left with a little skin ripped off my face. Again… i am a cheapo. But this last time was horrible!!! She ripped my skin by my eyes, laugh lines and cheeks!!! I looked like i got scratched up in a catfight!!! Now i have scabs all over my face! So attractive, right? I can’t belive i paid someone to do this to me. I felt that i should warn everyone.

This was my new go-​to place a couple months ago and after tonight I doubt I’ll ever go back. So disappointed. My friend and I were here in November and I was charged somewhere around $ 40 plus tip maybe even a little less; came back today and was charged $ 47 for way less service! Plus, my friend got acrylic tips; they messed up the first time and had to put them on again AND STILL CHARGED FULL PRICE. Plus they hit her badly with the electric sander. They gave her a $ 10 coupon which is almost worthless at this point because we won’t be back. Her service should have been free and in total we were there almost 2 ½ hours! Two pedi, one gel polish (not mani because that would have been another $ 10) and one acrylic tip mani should not have taken that long. Utterly ridiculous. Plus, when I asked about the difference in price she blatantly lied to me like I was stupid. So disappointed after this experience. Will be looking for a new go-​to nail place.
3−3−15: In less than 2.5 weeks both of our nails have completely come off; my gel mani started chipping less than a week later but I was out of town so I couldn’t go back to get it fixed and I finally just peeled it all off on Sunday afternoon because I couldn’t stand it anymore and could feel them all coming up. My friend had 3 of her nails come off in the shower and was able to easily remove all the nails on one hand while the other (the one they messed up on) was extremely painful to take off and took her nearly an hour and a half. NEVER going back.

By all means stop by this nail spa, but don’t tell me that I tried to warned you all not to go.
So I was in the area and really needed to get my nails and toes done before we left for Vegas the following day. Broke out my trusty phone and Unilocaled what was close. This place popped up, looks legit and they had OPI the reviews were okay.
Finding this place was a whole different story. It is indeed in a funky business center/​eatery complex but what people are not saying is what it is close by (if you park by the post office and look to your left you will see it).
Walking in I was greeted by the lady behind the desk. I asked how much a mani/​pedi would be. She said $ 29.00, not to bad considering I was in South County. Usually other nail spa’s I’m paying anywhere from $ 32.00-$ 36.00 depending on where I go.
I was then told to go pick out my colors, the OPI section was not spectacular but it had some of my favorite dark colors plus some glitter polish too.
The spa chairs were oversized and comfortable. My nail technician was an older lady she was nice but had a super hard time understanding what I was asking her to do. Sadly in the end it resulted with me having a freaking ingrown toe nail and better yet I paid an extra $ 5.00 to get my heels scrub (figured why not) only to have her do a crappy job.
While she was working on my nails she kept a small conversation to her friend that was sitting next to her (she said they were discussing if they should get the new I-​phone) I don’t normally care if they chat with each other because I not much of a big talker whenever I get my nails done. Instead I like to zone out and relax! But when you’re not paying attention and you keep cutting me with the cuticle nippers, I wanted to tell her please pay attention it hurts!
Both massages were painful as she rather focuses on my legs then my whole foot and legs (had some bruises the next day) and the hand massage just sucked. I did tell her a couple of times less pressure on my legs she would ease up but only to go back to the hardcore action.
The shop is clean, and not too many customers were there when I went in. The quality of service is okay will I return again, probably not!
