I was introduced to Emma's Nails by an old co-worker. I've been coming here for over 2 years for…read moregel manicures and pedicures. Emma's was recently remodeled and looks more beautiful than ever. The employees are friendly and accommodating, including the owner Andy. He always makes sure his clients leave happy. My go-to girls are Pebbles and Phanny, but I've had my nails done by other techs and I can confidently say that everyone does an excellent job. Eyelash extensions, waxing, dip powder/SNS and mood colors are among other services they offer. Prices are fair. For a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, I paid $52. Cash and card are accepted. If you pay with cash, however, it's cheaper. They do have an ATM available on site if you don't have cash with you. It does tend to get busy between 5pm-closing so expect a wait if you stop by after work. On Saturday mornings, there are usually customers lining up outside. Make sure you arrive early and sign in if you want a specific technician.

I've been back and forth about posting this for a while because this place checks all the right…read moreboxes. They're clean, their schedule is organized and they don't overbook, they take appointment deposits, etc. The manager/owner is very nice and very skilled. My first time there He immediately helped take off my gel while my nail tech was getting the table set up. He also gave me some great advice about general nail maintenance and cuticle maintenance. I think my techs name was Alex, I don't remember what the managers name was. I asked for sunflowers on a black background and asked him if this was something he could do. He insisted he could and I let him know that it was completely okay if he couldn't because I had a backup design. He ended up not being able to do it and had to ask another tech to do it. They came out more like daisies than anything and I wasn't thrilled but I didn't want to hold up the appointment behind me by asking them to redo it. The worst part of this was when he started clipping my cuticles, he cut the entire side of my finger. Not just a little nick...the cuticle clippers took a chunk out of my finger. He apologized and I said it was okay because mistakes happen, but it happened AGAIN. Two chunks taken out of two fingers. (See in pictures below) To me this is unacceptable. I also asked him to be very careful with the silver drill tip because I didn't want to be cut. He cut me anyway and then said it's because my cuticles were dry. The cut was deep, it had nothing to do with dryness. I considered returning at a later date and just asking the manager to do my nails, but I can't ever go back here.

This is one of my favorite places to get my mani/pedi…read more Parking: street parking and depending on the time of day, you may notice get a spot. Atmosphere: very casual abd intimate with music, TV and ear hustling. Lol The waiting area is small living up to their name. They are very clean. Service: The people are so welcoming! They make you feel very comfortable. They serve wine, coffee or water. I get the gel manicure and a regular pedicure however they offer exfoliating scrub packages. I love the keratin sock & hand treatment they use. This is the first salon I've gone to that provides that treatment as a part of your mani/pedi. They give special treatment to your hands and feet making sure to get every hang nail and over grown cuticle leaving your hands and feet feeling soooo refreshed and cute. Because they are small and intimate, I'd recommend you book your appointments in advance as walk ins are impossible. Enjoy

The space was absolutely clean with very comfortable decor and Nice vibes. The gentleman that…read morewaited on me was professional, but yet very relaxing... he informed me on everything I should be doing to keep my nails and toenails, healthy, and long lasting. I greatly appreciate his opinion and insight because he is the one who is the professional. In this case I will be going back. I have recommended this business to family and friends please go and have a look for yourself. You will enjoy it most definitely!!!

Customer service is horrible. The pedicure was not enjoyable for me. Not only did I smell the…read morebathroom like someone ate real bad chill cheese but they didn't clean my toes right. It looks like I paid for color change not pedicure. Then not only were they trying to rush me out the pedicure chair I had to wait about 25 min for the lady to do my nails mind you they told me a different lady so then when she gets up I asked when is she ready then she said no not me and pointed to the lady that ate the chili cheese. So then fast forwarded a little they decided to tell me the shape is 5 extra I told them they should of asked before the payment was received.

If I could give zero stars I would I should have known this place was a red flag when I saw on the…read morecitizen app where a lady got her purse snatched from off the chair while getting a pedicure. But...because they are down the street, I gave them some play anyway. Turns out, they ate cheaper than my usual nailer. Now I see why.​ The polish on my toes were lumpy, and started peeling after a week. My usual pedi polish last a month-2. Today went there to get my hands and toenails painted for Christmas as soon as I walk through the door the door hadn't even closed yet they were already putting me in the chair not giving me a chance to pick colors or even inquire about how much the total service was going to cost... soon as I walked in they were ready to put me in a chair so when I finally got a price quoted I was told that the fingernails were going to be $15 and the toenails were going to be $20 total $35- exactly what I expected to pay So, after they kept rushing me into a seat I sat down and some woman just came in and just started slapping acrylic on my nails when I didn't even ask for an acrylic service first of all I'm a chef I'm not even supposed to wear fake nails because of the risk of physical contamination falling into the food they were just supposed to polish my natural nail so what they did was without question or anything they just started putting acrylic on my nails that's how she was able to extract the extra $15 out of me so instead of getting my hands and feet done for $35 she is charged me $35 for the hands because of acrylic that I didn't even ask for. That's when I figured, well of course, by then it was too late, but I figured that that they were only taking advantage of the Holiday Rush, the holiday spirit and the money that people tend to spend on the holidays so what I did when I got home, I reported them to ICE for fraud. I suggest you all do the same. P.S. And THEY pick your colors for you. So you're better off bringing your own polish, because the choices are limited as it is, but they pick what they want you wear. Also unacceptable.
