Long acrylic set by Nick.

First time here after moving to the area and trying a few salons. Place is clean and calm, lots of colors to choose from. Nick was super gentle and time efficient with my nails. I kept it simple with one design but he did not hesitate to offer more. Will definitely be returning for the next fill and reshape!!

I'm just like WTF. I showed this nail tech an inspiration photo for her to recreate on my nails. She told me that it's not going to be exact, and I saw, "of course no worries. Just have fun with the swirls & experiment." This lady literally took my word out of it whatever but at least don't fuck it up. They look like fricking INTESTINES I'm telling y'all. She COULD'VE MADE the swirls/lines SMOOTHER rather than curving it like (i said) INTESTINES. Lastly, she tried to re-trace the white lines and girl, it is not straight and retraced. If y'all look closely, some of it goes in a different direction. I AM DONE

It was an amazing experience! I love it here! Got my nails done by Philip and he did an amazing job! 10/10 recommend :)

Picture of pedicure

This was by far the WORST pedicure I have EVER gotten. I went there initially for a mani pedi but after seeing the abysmal job she did I not let her do the mani. She was just rushing through the entire process and I just had a feeling it would be horrible and I was right. Save yourself time and money DON'T GO THERE!

Oliva did my nails and I was amazed by her skill. The place is a bit packed but glad that I made an appointment before hand. I wasn't able to find a place that do designs in this area but the price is super reasonable and Olivia went into the details. This would definitely be my go to spot!

Lisa did my nails. Gel Fill for $25 and did my brows for $8. She was attentive yet quick and I was out oF there in a little less than an hour. For no appointment at nooon on Friday, I'll take it! I travel for a living so I can't always find a good salon... if I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely be back!

I Recently have been coming to this nail salon due to my favorite nail tech Olivia ! She's the greatest as well as Phillip ! Always Precise , Gentle , Welcoming & time efficient . I would recommend a million times ( The best is the holiday and seasonal decor around the shop )

gel full set from: 2/16/2022

been coming here for years now. i love this place. the nail techs are nice, i always come here and get out quickly and efficiently, and the prices are always reasonable. i always try new places, but this place is my consistent favorite.

Black ugly nails

Went here based on the photo that the shop had posted. Shop is dirty as hell. They don't sanitize tools. Or disinfect anything. Even despite covid. Anyways I went in and asked for the exact nails from the picture. After an hour of the nail tech saying he could do it while desperately taking one nail on and off after no being able to do the design he originally said he had done. Which is the last picture with the blue nails for reference. So I kindly told him nvm let's do something simple. And this is what he produced. And when I complained about these hideous nails. He claimed I didn't give him enough time. I had arrived at 5:00 for my appointment and it's now 7pm. But the two hours clearly for him wasn't enough. I made them remove my nails and I suggest no one ever go here this place is a lie and doesn't respect customers. Wish I could give them zero stars.

Olivia is truly amazing! She is so talented and fast'! She can take any picture I have for inspiration for my nails and perfectly execute! 10/10 every time!

After two weeks ... Never again

First it should be noted that you can't make appointments on Fridays. I called 15 minutes before I was about to arrive to ensure no wait and like the dishonest nail salon that they are told me to come in. Of course, I was greeted by a wait. No hello when I walked in just pick a color. I pick my color and sit down and ask how long they say 15 minutes. What was the point of me calling to ask ? Staff is rude and the color selection isn't that great. Only came because I was in a rush and their prices are reasonable. However, because of their dishonesty I missed my train for my friends birthday, You get what you pay for. I WILL NOT be returning. Do not come here - the final product isn't worth it

Not particularly happy with the service. This is possibly the worst gel manicure I've ever had. The gel application is sloppy and low quality. I anticipate that this will last probably a week, maybe a week and a half. I'll update as necessary. The picture speaks for itself.

This was my first time at this nail salon and I got my nails done by Olivia. I am absolutely speechless. My nails came out better than I expected and was worried that it wasn't going to come the way I wanted because I went to a lot of nail salons that were NOT good. I finally found a close and secure place to go to nails now. I wish I rated this place more than 5 stars!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

Tried a longer length and a different color !!

Somerset Nails & Spa - Apres Gel X manicure by Leo

Decided to come to this place even with the current mixed reviews. This place is actually bigger in…read morethe inside and it's located in a little mini mall. I made my appt online for just a basic pedicure, I didn't need anything fancy. So far everyone was friendly. I was greeted when I arrived and was shown to the booth bath chair as soon as I picked my polish. From the looks of this place, it would make a cute spot for a girls day or maybe even for a bridal party to get their nails done. The basic pedicure allows you to pick a scent for the foot scrub (I chose lavender), foot massage, hot stone massage (in my opinion wasn't very hot). The water was hot but that was fine for me since I like my water like that, but could be a problem for someone else. While I waited for my polish to dry I also got a light shoulder massage that was nice. I can say that if you're coming in for a basic pedicure, this place is great. I would recommend to others to try them out. I can't speak for manicures or how well they design them but i may come back to try it out.

Oh wow, I went here at the beginning of August and I was able to get the seasonal cucumber and aloe…read morespa... all I can say is wow! It is so refreshing and perfect for summer. They use real cucumbers and they are so cooling and the effect was so relaxing. I was feeling great. Olivia did a great job with my pedicure and Stefanie did amazing with my UV gel fill-in manicure. This nail salon NEVER disappoints! Previous review: I always have a great experience at Luxi. They have a wide variety of nail services/treatments and polish colors. Yes, you pay for anything extra and why shouldn't you? You get what you pay for and after a year of coming here and seeing multiple different nail techs I can honestly say I haven't had a bad experience yet. My new go-to manicure is the "Gel Builder Set" it is a bit thicker than regular gel polish and has really helped my nails grow. Before getting this done they would always crack at a certain length but now I can enjoy long nails and have the added bonus of knowing it's technically my natural nail! Other services I've done: Apres Gel X set- this is great if you need a nail enhancement quick. It's a gel based fake nail system where the nail is already shaped (there is a wide range of sizes and shapes to choose from) so all your tech has to do is fuse it to your natural nail with a gel product and paint your nails with gel polish. I really love this service for its convenience and the nails look beautiful, however you can't get fill ins so if you want mail enhancements continuously this can get really expensive (and ends up costing you time because the old set needs to be removed to put on a new set). With that said these babies do not fall off, I had one fall off in the three times I've had this service done and I was long overdue for a nail appointment at that point! Gel pedicure- pretty standard here, the techs do a great job though, I've never had any issues with chipping or feeling uncomfortable. You do get complimentary massage and you can add on more mins (there is an extra fee) if you want to really relax! All pedicures come with your choice of scent: pomegranate, green tea or lavender. Gel polish manicure- same as above, standard and similar to any other place, however the quality seems to be elevated here. I do not believe they thin their nail polishes like most other salons do, which makes for a clean gel manicure/pedicure with no bubbles or early chips. I've had issues with other places where a weird film appears on my manicure and it looks dirty, that doesn't happen here because it's GREAT QUALITY workmanship and products. Jelly spa Pedi- there are so many fun pedicures to choose from for a more "spa" experience. I chose the jelly because I was really intrigued and wanted to try something new. It was different! A fun experience and something I'm not really sure how to explain, but definitely relaxing. You may not like it If you don't like to feel different textures on your feet and toes. Callus treatment- a little extra cost but worth it especially to get smooth for summer Nail repair- again, a little extra cost but worth the money! Not only can they repair a nail that has a small rip in it, a nail tech has also built a nail for me when I had a broken nail that was shorter than the others! It is now under my builder gel set and has lasted over a month, and still going strong! Definitely check out Luxi if you get the chance, you won't regret it. Their website is very user friendly and informative and the people there couldn't be nicer!

All clients don't have the same needs. I work a lot with my hands. So they take a beating. The…read morecuticle removal was at best partially done. I asked for the excess skin to be removed as well. They said the tech could do it. I even told them I'm not trying to be difficult. Just needed them cleaned up. She was rough and kept sticking the tool used to push the cuticle way too far into my finger. She apologized but continued to do it while squeezing my finger. My daughter kept telling me to tell her what I needed. I even showed the person who I believed to be the owner. She explained it as well. Still same result. So at this point I'm done. I took the cuticle cutter and showed what I needed done. Now I don't even want her to polish my nails. They told me to go to the other tech who said she was afraid to cut me, so I did it myself. I asked how much it was for what she did which wasn't much. They told me $20 when all you did was soak my hands in cold water The service was $30 & up. So I just let her put one coat of polish and top coat. Told them I'll just go somewhere else from now on. If they are afraid of cutting clients, they should use the newer methods and tools for cuticle removal etc. Very disappointed.

Review also on Google…read more Got a mani pedi done. If you put a google review they give you 10% off. If you want to get the 10%, make sure to do it on separate transactions if you're with a friend. I did feel a little awkward because I got a mani and pedi and had accidentally splashed some water during the pedicure and a piece of the sink/tub fell off. I did feel that after the splash she was a bit rough on my callus and hands where I got a little bit of a cut on my finger. She also shook the callus cleaner and skin came out BEFORE starting to work on my feet aka someone else's pieces of skin. I saw another Google post and 100% agree. This place doesn't seem to be 100% on top of sanitation. I apologized profusely because I felt bad about the splash, but I was not 100% happy about the rough service.I honestly should have just given 15% but because I know it's around the holidays I wanted to be nicer. At the end my gel mani also looked lighter color than the sample nail. She said it was too late unless she took it off. I thought adding tips or extra layer could help. It could be the style but it definitely looked lighter than the sample nail. My 20% tip would have been $17. I ended up giving $25. The tone dramatically changed and she came over to check on me and unrolled my pants. It was a little awkward on my end. I hope they can work to improve the customer interactions.

I called and made an appointment for an acrylic fill. He asked if any nails were broken and I said…read moreno, but some were lifting. this was not a problem to him and he restated back to me to confirm time and that it was an acrylic fill. I showed up for my appt and was sent to a lady and never given an option or chance to pick out my nail color. it was my first time here and I'm in from out of town. They started to remove nails and buff them with the drill and my nails were burning and I kept pulling away and stating that it was hurting. She continued to do what she was doing despite me stating I was in pain and pulling away. I had to get up and go to the bathroom because I started crying and didn't know what to do and was in so much pain. I went back and sat down and stated she was now conducting a service on me that I was not only not familiar with, but that I also had never asked for. Mind you, I've been getting my nails done for years and have received tons of different services. she then told me I had to do this service and that I couldn't get what I had made an appointment for and asked for which was acrylic, but failed to communicate to me before she started doing it and never asked if this is something I was okay with. I sat at the table with my hands in hers crying in pain and unsure of what to do as I continued to tell and show her I was in pain. i didn't know if I should leave and excuse myself from the service and then be left with nails I wasn't sure how to care for or remove and go to a different place or just let her continue and hope they'd turn out okay and that the pain would stop. It eventually did get better and she thanked me for "patience" and said next time to book the service she gave me that day and said it would be better next time like there would ever be a next time. Then they tried to charge me 105 dollars for a service I never asked for and for an experience that honestly completely traumatized me and caused/ left me in so much pain. the pricing on the screen did not match the price he stated so I questioned it to which he then explained it to me but it still hardly made any sense. I explained I wasn't comfortable paying this amount as I received a seevice I never asked for and cried in pain almost the entirety of my appointment. He brought the total down to about 89 dollars and I paid it and left. I would not recommend this place to anyone and I'm not one to ever leave a review let anyone one of this depth and negativity. I however just wanted to thoroughly explain my experience in hopes of this NEVER happening to anyone else. I am beyond disappointed and frustrated and feel completely violated and dismissed. I will never be attending this salon again.
