*Pedicure Review Only* Stopped in at 3pm on a Sunday and I was able to walk right into a chair for my pedicure. But not before stressing over the shelves of nail polish. Thankfully this salon didn't have an overwhelming amount of colors. the basic pedicure was $30 but I decided to upgrade to the $38 package which included a mask and longer foot and leg massage, which is totally worth it. This was probably the best foot massage I've ever had, especially combined with the massage chair, almost rocking me to sleep. When it came to my nails, the tech was extremely gentle but detailed. I'm very satisfied with the service and the price. Make sure you leave a nice tip!!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Kimmy& Christine are AMAZING!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Been going to them for years and they always do the most amazing job! I am a hair dresser so I expect the best service and they do above and beyond! If I could leave 10 stars I would!!!!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]GREAT time at Apollo!! Mani for me and pedi for my man. LOVED all of it!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Walked in with a specific request, chrome, done.

Horrible job. My gel nails have bubbles, and they are uneven in many ways. It's hard to tell from the picture. Also, they do not clean your cuticle, they go over it very gently but does nothing. I literally paid for a nail polish change not a manicure. The worst part is expecting a tip. When I paid, she asked how much I wanted to add for a tip, I said "no tip today" she then asked if I was going to give a cash tip and I literally said the same thing. She asked AGAIN, and at this point I just stayed quiet. She charged me and I left. I paid $85 for these. So embarrassing.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been coming to see Kim at Apollo for over 2 years now I can't imagine going anywhere else.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My nails are always beautiful and she is so gentle that they stay in the best shape. The salon is clean and all the ladies are nice and talented. Apollo offers great service at an affordable price.

Kim did such an amazing job on my nails! I didn't feel pressured or rushed to make a decision and yet, she finished everything within an hour. I showed her inspo pics of what I wanted and she was able to deliver. I've always wanted ombré nails without using fake nails but couldn't find a nail artist who could do it until now. We went with the powder method and she was able to apply it without making it too thick. Kim was very gentle on my nails and was detail-oriented in her work. She's also nice and easy to talk to.

I absolutely love it here and highly recommend them! The staff is absolutely amazing and they nail it every time!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Kim is skilled, kind and very efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is consistent with shaping, thorough with cuticle care, and extremely fast. My natural nails are able to withhold up to 4 weeks of her gel nail techniques. Pedicures are also very relaxing with deep calf massages, scrubs and toe nail cares. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walk out with smiles every time![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Results from waxing.
Carolyn M.

I came in on Saturday, 10/22/22, to get my gel off on my nails, get regular manicure and waxed my lip and eyebrows. An older lady did my waxing first. She put the wax on my lips and eye brows and it hurt a bit which I though it was normally. She didn't really spend that much time working on those areas. I thought it was a bit odd she smeared Vaseline (I think that's what it was) on those areas and walked out to get my nails done. The other lady that did my nails did an alright job. I was bit disappointed she only put lotion on my hands, thinking I was getting a quick massage, and grab a warm towel to take off the the lotion. The pain from the waxing started to get worse. When I got home I looked at my bathroom mirror and to my horror she pulled skin above my lips, between my eyebrows and both side of my eye brows. I didn't want to go back to salon to complain because I was embarrassed for anyone to see me. The next day I peeled the skin off. I'm upset this is going to cause scarring on my face and it will take a long time until I can go out without makeup. Definitely beware of this place.

Messy

Honestly, hit or miss. I come for pedis but they have never been "Amazing" but given the price theyre acceptable. However, today it was horrible, felt rush and she went way too heavy on the first coat coz it was dripping and I could see it. She cut my nails with a clipper from a box so not sterile and the was cleaning the little scissor/cutter thing on my actual foot. I had to tell her to stop coz it was scratching me. Ugh bad experience, not sure if im coming back

Christine

Again today I received a first class pedicure and manicure at Apollo Nail & Spa. I have been a client for many years and have always been with Christine. As a retired firefighter who has always worn boots, my feet require first class treatment. The facility is spotless and the staff cheery and welcoming. I can't say enough about christine, my girl. Her foot scrub and massage makes me forget my aches and pains. I always look forward to my monthly appointment. Men, don't let the ladies have all the pleasure, make your appointment today.

I've been going to Apollo nails for over 2 years now and am impressed every time I go. I started with gel nails and recently upgraded to acrylic. I've gotten my nails done by everyone and have loved them every time. Today I went in and Kim went above and beyond to give me my most favorite nails, by far. I have a nail salon across the street from where I live, but I drive to Apollo nails because, as you can see, they do an amazing job. If you are looking for a place with friendly faces and who do a great job, Apollo nails is the place to go.

My new set , the nail snapped off 4 days later and they Can't fix it ? unacceptable

Update: Melinda reached out to me to help correct the issues with another stylist, and although I…read morewas scared initially, I'm glad I talked myself into it. I had Vanessa help me and the turnout was night & day of a difference. She was so meticulous to add the details to the bob and completely turned the color upside down. I appreciate both of them very much and now walk feeling giddy and so happy with the outcome. TY! Unfortunately, I had one of those experiences where you voiced and showed photos of what you have in mind, only to leave the place holding back tears because the end result didn't deliver. If you want a mediocre cut and ok color while paying normal the same as other places, by all means. I think her name is Jasmine and was so excited they booked me in the same day. She's nice by not someone I would ever return to. I already had an asymmetrical bob cut which I wanted a refresh on but clearly this wasn't her specialty. I've had bob cuts now for two years and other stylists use a tool to define and sharpen the edges but she didn't do that, therefore it looks like a cheap cut that makes me look like a teenager. I also requested partial highlights to be on the darker tone. I mentioned I didn't like caramel or light brown colors but more so of dark brown with chocolate tones. The color, for me, wasn't that at all and this is the part where I left there internally crying. I did express the cut looks nothing like the photos I showed her. And while she tried to use toner and a straightener to improve the look because she saw I was deeply unsatisfied, I'm going to have to go elsewhere to get it color corrected and the cut perfected. I entered expecting to leave feeling excited and instead left with a gutted feeling of regret for trusting a new place. I hate looking in the mirror and left with high hopes from the photos shared but mine didn't turn out that at all.

We had a wonderful experience with Melinda today! Thank you for making my daughter look and feel…read morefabulous! See you again soon.
