I made an online appointment and upon my arrival staff had no idea about my arrival. I will however say that they got me in after a short wait. The woman who did my nails did OK. She definitely used too much acrylic. The woman who did my pedicure however did a phenomenal job. She was very detailed and took care to ensure that I got a full service that wasnt rushed. My biggest complaint about this place though is the lack of cleanliness. There is sitting dust everywhere, that isn't noticeable until you are seated and having the service done. There are cobwebs hanging off the lighting and the windowsills are stacked with dust. This place definitely needs a deep cleaning. You can tell they are trying to have an upscale look, but if you cant meet the basics of cleanliness you are missing the plot. I wanted to like this place because its close to my home, but I honestly wouldnt return. read more

I came in today for a spa pedicure. I got the volcano option. She did an amazing job. A great scrub, paraffin wax, hot rock massage, hot towel, steamer. Disposable tub liners. Sanitized individual pedicure boxes. Such a posh set up! This wasn't even the top package guys. This was definitely my favorite pedicure ever! We got a complimentary mocktail as well. Such a relaxing and refreshing vibe with the decor and the music softly playing. I got a fill with two different colors of chrome. If you're looking for a place to go for a self care day this is definitely it! You come out feeling like a new person. The attention to detail is phenomenal! You guys rock! read more

Do your self a favor and don't even think to go there. Look what the did to my nails when I asked to take it off. She didn't use acetone or anything. She just tried to pull it off!!! Used a clow on one nail and pulled one by her hand , she did his my finger with the tool and my nails started to bleed. Very unprofessional service. read more

THIS PLACE IS A SHITHOLE SCAM!! The reviews might show a high rating, but if you really check, you'll find many, many people giving this place 1-star reviews. They deserve less than a star too!! I hope they shut down ASAP! Look what they did to my wife's nails! An old lady used pliers to take the nails off, causing her to bleed and leaving her with butchered nails like this! So unprofessional, and the place looks filthy!! Don't come here, even if it's for free!! read more

I really love this place!! Granted...there is definitely a language barrier with some of the staff, there are always others listening ready and willing to help that along. I have had nothing but high quality services and appreciate the sincere attention I get from everyone here. A clean and comfortable place with relaxing music, perfect place to enjoy some "me time" read more

My family and I are frequent customers of this establishment. Today was one of the worst experiences I have had. First, the woman doing my manicure used a dirty washcloth that was hard and crumpled with old polish on it. Then, she didn't check in on my color, which I wanted one more coat of polish to make it darker, and when I asked to add chrome, I was told no. I asked for chrome to cover up the color since she wouldn't make it darker. There are multiple fingers in which polish is not covering the whole area, and it was not fixed when asked. Really disappointed in my experience this time and won't be going back for a while. read more

Completely rushed my nails, didn't clean them up before or after and made them way too thick. Don't go here.

I don't usually write reviews but if this prevents at least one person from coming here it's worth it. I had this place recommended to me a couple of times, so I decided to check it out. I came in for a full set and a pedicure. The first thing I noticed was that the place is just dirty.. it doesn't look like they clean their tools well, if at all, but I don't get my nails done very often, so I didn't think much of it at the time. I got my pedicure first and the woman doing the service was literally falling asleep while doing it?? Honestly, I just felt bad, so I went with it. The acrylics were not great either. They came out dusty and the person doing the service was on their phone the entire time which, again, I didn't even mind, unprofessional sure, but after leaving I didn't feel inclined to write a bad review. A couple days after coming here, I noticed that my toe had started to get infected right where the woman doing my pedicure was messing with and I'm sure the infection started because of how dirty this place actually is. After this, I STILL gave them the benefit of the doubt and came back to have my acrylics removed. The same woman that did my pedicure was helping me and she actually drilled straight into my nail bed AFTER all of the acrylic was removed. I'll include a pictures of what it looked like but this woman didn't even acknowledge the fact that she clearly messed up. I regret not saying anything but honestly I was so dumbfounded that this was actually happening again and as I went to pay, WHICH I DONT EVEN THINK I SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THE AWFUL SERVICE!!!, the same woman ripped my card out of my hand and inserted it into the machine. I was APPALLED. Based on the reviews it doesn't look like this is the first time this has happened either! Now, all of this happened over 4 months ago and after 4 rounds of antibiotics and having part of my toe nail removed that issue is FINALLY clearing up. I'll save you those pictures because those are way worse. Anyways if you value having nice nails please never go to this god awful disgusting place!!! read more

I have gone there to get my nails done and they do a good job. They are quick, and work to get you in even when you don't have an appointment. They will try to upcharge you for the shellac on your toes, which I have not used because I prefer to have my toes painted. The pain lasts a long time. They have a lot of options for spa pedicures, which I also like. My nails have always looked good coming out of it, as well. They would not, however, work with the photos I brought in of what I wanted and insisted I pick out a color. While I can understand that to an extent, the color ended up not even resembling what I picked out, so that is part of why I am not giving 5 starts. It is a bit pricey too compared to other similar salons. read more

I've gone to Almond Nails several times prior to this experience and never had an issue. HOWEVER, this time I go 2 days prior to my Covid Wedding, which is already stressful. I get a full set, my adult daughters manicure and two pedicures. Walk out spending $175. More than I expected, but it was my wedding. I go back on August 31st for a fill. The next day nail chipped off completely. I go in on September 2nd, fixed first free. I continue to have chopping issues, lifting and knee then I wouldn't return. So today, I go to another Kalamazoo Salon. As he takes off the color he finds 4 nails with fungus. I'm not only horrified, I'm disgusted. I will NEVER return to Almond Nails. I'm still waiting for a response from the salon. read more

Linh does an outstanding job. The salon is convenient and the techs are good. It is near US131 across from Menards in a quiet plaza.

My nails look great, so I'm giving it 3 stars. But....I went with my sister for her birthday and we didn't have a super great experience. It seemed like it was set up for people who get their nails done every week, which is not us. We didn't even get to take our coats off before they were working on our hands. Then they seemed annoyed that I had to stand up to hang my coat and scarf up and select my color. It was all extremely rushed. Then I requested to sit next to my sister (3 times) and was told each time that I could sit next to her in a minute. So when that didn't happen after the third time asking, we just decided to hold our conversation across the salon. There was no one else in there, so I really don't understand why we weren't able to sit closer. But like I said...we came to get our nails done, and they look really good. So 3 stars it is. read more

Thought I would go back one more time and give this place the benefit of the doubt but I should've known better. Called before driving there to see if it was busy or if there was a wait for a pedicure and was told to come in and they would be ready for me. I got there and waited 25 minutes before getting sat in a chair. The lady who did my pedicure was incredibly rough on my toes and caused my big toe on my right foot to actually bleed. They always ask you if you want to upgrade to shellac but they never tell you the price, $15 for shellac with a pedicure so be prepared to pay that price. Will not ever be returning here. read more

The place is huge and they only had a few people working, my friend had to wait 40mins to get a pedicure. I got my nails done by the manager, after I had requested someone else, and let's just say I'm not going back. Prices are ok. read more

I visited again and had another fabulous manicure and pedicure! The staff is fabulous, the salon is clean and the owner always wants to make sure you are happy! read more

My nails look like they still need a fill ! Parts of my nails aren't even filled ! 2nd chance for them to redeem themselves and get it right (went in January and they looked awful then too )! Plus my tech moved onto the next person before my nails were finished in the dryer ! The flowers looks pretty . Only upside ! read more

My friend and I were the only people in the salon (besides ONE person) they rushed us so much. Didn't let us sit next to one another and wouldn't even let us pick our colors out. They took max 15 minutes when we came in to relax and enjoy our time. They were rushing us, pulling our hands, and even hurt my friend. They were rude and kept trying to up sell us when we very specifically ONLY wanted gel. They continued to push and ask us to buy more. I wanted 3 different colors on my nails and they charged me more for it. Even though it was all the same polish with no designs. Also the place reeked of microwaved food gone bad read more

I had the worst experience I have ever had at a Nail salon yesterday. I had a pedi and mani. The owner took off the Mani. she was apologetic but I would never go back! read more

I went here on a Sunday. I had an appointment at 3:00, and I arrived at 2:45. I waited for over two hours before they started on my nails. They were so slow that people started walking out. I was getting an acrylic full set removed and a new set put on. The woman started clipping my nails and then ripping them off. Finally, she decided to soak my nails. Then they kept switching nail technicians. My nails underneath were completely broken and destroyed. When applying the new set they filed over my skin many times. They even made me bleed, and they just kept going. They were very rude, and they told me it was my fault because I was holding my hand wrong. When I showed them a picture of a simple nail art they were beyond confused. They didn't really know what they were doing. read more

After how awful my experience was, I wish to do whatever I can to deter anyone from coming close to having to deal with such awful hospitality... with that being said, a picture is worth 1,000 words. On the left is the finished product of 2 hrs and $50 later at Almond Nails. On the RIGHT is Star Nails Spa (a salon that will appreciate your hard earned money and is less than 2 miles from Almond Nails) after 45 minutes and $45. read more

We typically do not go to this salon but we wanted pedicures on a Sunday and found that this was one of the only salons open. We made appointments three days beforehand. When we got there, we found that the place was extremely dirty. On top of that it was very unorganized- I'm not sure what the point of making appointments was as they just did our pedicures one at a time and we spent much more time that anticipated there. To be honest, I would have just chalked this all up to a bad experience and moved on with my life but I felt like I had to leave an actual review as some pretty inappropriate things were said. The woman who did my son's pedicure said several sexist and homophobic things to both my son and my husband. She was also just generally awkward and asked very personal and invasive questions very loudly (once again, I could have just moved along had it not been for the other comments). All this to say, if you are of the LGBTQI+ community, I would choose another salon. read more

This was my first time going to this salon and the people were very rude. The guy Tom that was doing my nails dropped all the nails on the floor and continued to put them on my hands. Then they cut my skin around my nails and my thumb was numb until my nails came off! I tried to call to get someone to fix my nails or give the money back and they said "I don't got time for this" and hung up! Also someone had forgot their phone and the lady there tried to steal it! The person came back for their phone and the lady got mad! This place needs to be shut down! Very rude and disgusting NEVER AGAIN! read more

Argh! Finally found a place that does a nice job w/gel mani & pedi's - but it's too good to be true!!! Made appointment- was there on time - checked in - and waited. And waited. And waited. And people who came in after me were taken ahead of me!!! So if you can't honor appointments then don't accept them. Or figure it out. So sorry Almond - you lost a customer who gave you decent tips and tried to play by the rules. Your loss read more

Lovely experience! My mom, two sisters & I were all seated next to each other for pedicures and all were serviced by different people at the same time, so no waiting. Services were great and the employees were very nice and professional. My feet look great! Best place in Kzoo by far. Lots of colors to choose from and three different pedicure experiences price wise in case you want extras. Will be back! read more

We didn't have any wait but theylady was rushing us and being rude when my girlfriend was being "too slow". At one point she even went to smack her hand because she was putting her hand in too slow. She also made her pinky bleed and I mean the pictures speak for the terrible job she did. Overall bad experience and would not recommend. Oh and that cost $50. read more

Probably the worst pedicure I've ever had. I asked for hotter water 3 times and he kept putting tiny splashes in there and getting annoyed at me. Also tried to asked me if I wanted my nails clipped and I was trying to figure out what he was asking and he got mad at me again. Then filed my super long nails and I asked for them to be clipped of course. Then he kept pausing the massage to watch TV. When he polished he barely looked, it took 5 second and my nails have spots on them with no color. I should have just done it myself instead of paying 45 dollars for the "deluxe" pedicure read more

I just left the salon, that stayed open 45 minutes after close completing my services. Leah was just a delight and took her time and perfected every detail. Kimberly was also an amazing technician who completed my friends services. Gave me many recommendations of local vintage shops. Super happy and needed to post about it! Thanks. read more

Very clean and new. Family business just getting started, and very excited to build clientele.

Very nice, clean, new equipment. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The only reason I didn't give a 5-star review is that I find it annoying when you get up-charged for things like a sugar scrub on a basic pedicure. Everywhere else I've gone this is standard and not an extra cost. read more

I'm only giving one star because zero stars is not an option. I went with a friend and we couldn't even get our coats off before they were rushing us to a chair. They had so many color options which we were both very excited about, but they were rushing us so much to sit down that I couldn't take a minute to pick what I really wanted. I was also on crutches and they could have cared less. The lady that did my nails was so rude, snatching my hand and quickly doing what she had to do, and very annoyed with me looking through the color choices. We had made these appointments two days prior but they couldn't get us out fast enough. From start to finish it was literally 20 minutes, and I can't get over how rude and unprofessional these people were. read more

The first time i went was awesome! Today i went and my nails were done very sloppily for $66. I got a pedicure and there is polish around my toes and the paint is streaky and still see through. I asked for a manicure with dip polish and never received the manicure. My nails aren't all the way covered with polish and I was left with very dry hands and cuticles and polish stuck under them. My service was very rushed and clearly not checked over. I'm not one to complain but for the money, I expect a little more. I'd come back but not after checking out other places first. read more

So I went for a shellac pedi and a shellac menu. They RUSHED through my pedi; like they didn't let the lights cure the gel polish for long enough, and it wasn't completely dry by the end of my session. They spent more time on my mani thankfully, but it was nothing special. read more

I've been going to Almond Nails for years and today really disappointed me. My best friend and I booked pedicures together and when we arrived, they had us sitting with our feet in the water like we usually do. Looking around, the floors were very dirty and the chair I was sitting in and the tub my feet were in were filthy as well. If the plastic liner wasn't in the tub, I couldn't have done it. My best friend had the best pedicure with lots of nice relaxing massaging and the person I had, started working on me 10 mins after my best friends pedicure started, and she was rough and rushed through everything. She was completely finished with me before my best friend was done having her legs massaged. She took the plastic liner out of the tub and proceeded to have me out my feet in the unlined tub so she could rinse my feet off. This grossed me out. When it came time for the polish, I had carefully picked one that I wanted to try to see if I liked it for my daughters wedding next month. The lady proceeded to put a dark red under it and had to be questioned why she was putting a color I didn't pick on my toenails. The owner overheard and saw this and suggested something to make it look like the swatch that I had picked out. My toes ended up looking nice, but I left with sore legs that looked almost raw in places because of how rough she was with the exfoliating and I didn't get hardly any massage at all like my best friend did. I had referred a few people to almond nails and both told me they'd never go back. I'm really disappointed and am not sure I will go back either. read more

I called they said it wasn't busy... I ended up waiting for an hour while people who walked in went before me. It was a thursday early afternoon so there was no reason why I should have been brushed aside. Once I finally got sat the technician tried to argue with me, telling me he didn't want to take my nails off and that I should just get a fill. Then, he asked me if I had cash, I told him no, i just brought my card. He then told me to put my card on the table so he could see it before he finished my nails. Then, without asking, took my card and swiped it while my nails were under the UV light. not telling me the price that I had to pay AT ALL. It was very inappropriate to argue with me and then assume that I brought no way to pay and forcing me to take out my card before he finished to make sure I could pay. I have been going here for months and have always tipped well. It felt very humiliating. read more

It was such an awful painful experience , they made me bleed and put nail glue on it & the shape is so off , the length is awful , I would not recommend 10/10 read more

Nicely decorated facility, clean. Wide selection of nail colors to choose from. Easy check in system. 3 stars because I came in to relax but the nail tech asked quite a few too many personal questions that made me feel uncomfortable. read more

SO UNPROFESSIONAL. I waited ONE HOUR over my appointment time. When asked why I have been waiting so long and still no one has done my mani pedi I got a lousy response. Another customer walks in and they do her nails. Not sure what is wrong with this place. Do not respect your time AT ALL. do not come here. SO TERRIBLE. also smells in this place. Soaked my feet for an hour and think they did me some favor. Never coming back here read more

Most amazing pedicure ever! I've had really bad experiences elsewhere so it made me a little hesitant to get one and I'm also a cosmetologist so I get even more nervous because I know whats going on. They convinced me and let me tell you...my toes look AMAZING. Best service and very relaxing! read more
