They did a great job on my nails! Very well done, clean and pull off the design I was looking for perfectly.

Type of salon where they look at you when you walk in but don't even say anything to you and then they come get you 30mins to an hour after your scheduled appointment time. On top of the service, the nails are decent at best. read more

Honestly a really bad experience. The lady cut my toe nails so short they hurt. The polish job was so bad I went straight to a different place and had them redone. Please don't go here. read more

I've been here twice. This time she cut one cuticle bad enough that it bled. (Photo from the day after). She said sorry and kept going. Not only was one cut enough to bleed, three others were cut enough to hurt immediately and are still red and very sore (pictures wouldn't focus well enough to capture). The pedicures are okay, nice massage but could use some more work exfoliating. My feet aren't that dry but I'd still like more than a quick once over with the pumice stone. The first manicure I got was polish and it was okay. This time I got shellac and it's okay. read more

Tracy is awesome! I was looking into a new nail salon in the area and came upon the positive reviews of this salon, so I figured I would try it out. The reviews were correct -- this place is clean, great prices, and a friendly customer service. I came in late and Tracy even stayed a little late after closing time. My nails look very natural. Acrylic fill-in is only $15. The place is extremely clean and sanitary. A great selection of OPI nail polishes. I would highly recommend this place and ask for Tracy! read more

I won't be returning here. I had a pedicure appointment and I had to wait 30 minutes just to be put into the pedicure chair. The place has a few people in here and 1 lady is working on 4 different people keeping us all waiting. If you didn't have time for us, you should not have booked us!!!! read more

Wow! I just got my nails done here tonight after a terrible experience at Douglas J institute. I received an AMAZING and quick beautiful gel manicure from Creative Nail Spa for $23 from Tracy. I've gotten tons of manicures and this is by far one of the best I've ever gotten at the very best value -- they look perfect! This is the first time I've gotten a gel manicure and I had accidentally picked out a polish that was more coral than true pink -- Tracy painted one nail then asked if I wanted a more pink polish (which I did). She went above and beyond to make it an absolutely great experience. Thank you! So excited to have found my new go-to nail place :) and I will recommend Creative Nail Spa to all of my friends and coworkers!!! read more

Love this place! I get a quality pedicure and my eyebrows waxed for only $36. The technicians are very kind and capable.

Anyway I'm just sooooooo happy I got my nails done here!!!! read more

I was VERY disappointed with my experience here. I was looking last minute for a place to get my nails done on my birthday as a special present to myself. I was excited that Creative Nail Spa had a walk in appointment available within 15mins of my call because they had 4 stars... I wish I would have gone somewhere else. I got gel acrylics from a woman who only spoke to me when she HAD to ask me questions. It didn't really bother me because I was kind of tired and trying to relax anyway. When she was done I had visible bubbles on ALL nails, a couple nails had divets (that weren't corrected even when I brought it up before she finished), were different lengths and thicknesses, the white tips of my nails were nearly half the nail (which I would have been fine with if that was my only issue), and you could see my actual cuticle on a couple nails... I was running late for a meeting or else I would have talked to the manager and gotten something done about this because these were the worst I've ever had. On top of that, within a few days, the nails already looked like they needed to be filled. I don't get my nails done often anymore but my friends and coworkers that do agreed that they are absolutely awful and where to go in the future since I def will not go back here. read more

They did a great job but when I made my appointment over the phone they told me it was $35 for a dip manicure. I told them that I had dip on and would need it removed. It wasn't until my manicure was done that they told me it was $5 to remove current dip. Yes, they did a good job on my nails but $40 + tip? Not that amazing. read more

I never write reviews for nail places because I usually do not like them at all. This place was so much different. The atmosphere it was beautiful the people were really nice and attentive. The person who did my nails name was Tiffany and she is stellar. I recommend you go to see her for her bubbly attitude and great attention to detail. read more

I made an appointment and walked in to the shop couple minutes early. But I still waited for another 45 minutes watching two other people who did not have appointment sat down before me. After they guide me to sit on the chair, I waited for another 20 minutes to the point that the water became cold before I really get my service. Also, I picked a color for my toes and told them;however, they forgot it and told me " what color do you want I'll just pick one for you. " Despise that, my pedicure was done well. read more

This is the only nail salon I go to in Lansing, as I am still jaded from my awful experience at Lee Spa Nails last year. I go here every 2-3 weeks to get my acrylics filled and have been doing so since August. I have never ever had a bad experience here. Some techs are better than others. Make an appointment with Tracy or Tiffany and you will be very happy with your nails I guarantee it! My nails always look amazing and I get compliments all the time! The only reason I am giving four stars is that sometimes they are a bit disorganized in there, with some people having made appointments and still having to wait a bit. Other than that, good service, trendy colors, and good prices can't be beat! read more

Tracy the owner is so sweet and always does a great job! They play really good music, the aesthetic, and atmosphere is modern and clean!

I visited Creative Nail Spa with my mom. We made appointments for a Saturday afternoon. We didn't need appointments, though, since it wasn't very busy. There were other customers, it just wasn't packed. They had a pretty nice color selection and also offer Shellac. I had a mani and my mom had a pedi. We both really enjoyed the experience. It wasn't rushed. My mom had a nice massage chair to hang out in during her pedi. There are a couple of flat screens up which offer a nice distraction, but they weren't too loud. I don't even remember if the sound was on, actually. Good prices. I tried the Shellac since I hadn't before. It started peeling off of my nails within 4 days. I don't know if it was something the nail technician did wrong or if my nails just don't like it. I would definitely come back here but probably just skip the Shellac. read more

I forgot to add this review before I left for my NYE trip but better late than never. Tracy is AMAZING! She did my pink glitter acrylic nails for NYE and were gorgeous! She was extremely careful and very sweet. She even added an extra few coats of glitter to make them sparkle even more for my trip! I have been told that a few of the nail salons in Lansing weren't all that great but this salon is gorgeous inside and out! I did make an appointment before I left my house just to make sure there wouldn't be a wait time when I got there. Something I would recommend to a lot of women to save time. But highly recommend this salon and Tracy! read more

I went in after getting my nails done a week and a half ago to get a full on an acrylic set. I had a great paint job done but the girl who did them before (newer employee) did my new acrylic set and EVERY nail was already lifting in just a week and a half! I have gone 6 weeks (awful, I know, but I was abroad travelling) without a full and absolutely NO lifting. My pinky nail even came off with no warning! I was so surprised! But this time the owner did my nails and fixed me right up. She spent time on me and didn't rush at all. In A LOT happier than my last visit. She turned my over to the only male employee to do the paint as they were busy and he was excellent. Meticulous and clean. Love it. I made sure she knew who did my nails last time and she was very sweet to make sure I walked out happy. My last visit was the only negative experience I have had there and I will continue the visit this nail salon as long as I do boy get that same woman. She's a newer employee about the third work table I think. If you want an acrylic set I highly recommend the owner. :) read more

My experience was great! Got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. Fair price and super clean!

The first nail salon I went told me they were too busy. I walked into Creative Nail Salon and was immediately welcomed and attended too. I recommend appointments if you want to go later in the day, they were full by the time I was done. I received a quality pedicure and my technician was very meticulous with every step. One on the best massage chairs I've been in- doesn't shake your whole body. He fixed my entire nail that was nicked when moving to the fans- no problem. Accepts credit cards but does not allow added tip. Tip in cash or check. read more

Very clean and nice atmosphere. I walked in without an appointment and they saw me pretty quickly. I got a full set of gel nails and they were uneven and not the shape I told her I wanted. In the future, if I do go back, I will have to bring a picture of exactly what I want. read more

Hands down the best place to get your nails done in the East Lansing area. While the salon itself is pretty average, my nails always look great when I leave and last! read more

Love this place! Very professional and clean. The staff is very friendly. Probably one of the best nail shops I've been to.

Made an appointment for pedicures for 2 people. I asked for a 6:00 appointment, they offered 6:30 assuring me that I wouldn't have to wait if I came in then. Still waited 20 minutes. Both foot baths were cold, the chairs were dirty. There were greasy hand prints all over the arm rests, side tables and even leg marks on the seats. The whole place was dirty. Also, the price for a pedicure on their board is $23. I was charged $28. When I asked why, I was told that $23 is for an express pedicure without the leg massage. There was no $28 pedicure listed on their service menu, so I'm guessing I just got screwed. Service was not at all friendly. Moving on. read more

Request TRACY!!! :) She is fast, kind, and very attentive.

Being new to the Lansing area I was on a serious lookout for a great nail place. Having been to three others within the past month, I was excited when I went to one that finally did a decent job. The guy who did my nails was a little sloppy with the final product (I have acrylic nails and he failed to properly file/shape the top and sides) BUT compared to the other places I was glad I found a decent enough one to return to. I picked a light pink OPI gel polish and figured I'd just specify exactly how I wanted them done next time in order to be completely satisfied. Within two days the polish started turning a gross brown color. My nails were not exposed to anything out of the ordinary so I figured I'd just go back and have them fix it. I called before hand and made an appointment, as they seemed to be pretty busy. Upon arriving the woman was unbelievably rude and said "you should have know that was going to happen, that always happens with light colors." She continued to be extremely condescending and rude, patronizing me in front of the whole salon, and continued to tell me I should have know HER polish was going to do that. She showed me her nails, said they've been on for two weeks without a problem and that it had to be my fault as I must have gone tanning. I haven't. If you use crappy nail polish, warn your customer beforehand, and don't blame them for your low quality product. I wasted an hour and a half out of my day and $30 to deal with one of the rudest women I've ever met in my life. I spend a good amount of money monthly on mani/pedis but they definitely lost my business. She made me unbelievably uncomfortable and I would never recommend this salon to anyone. read more

Treat yourself and go see Lily! You won't be sorry. She took her time and pampered my tired feet. I brought my son up to MSU and this was just what this tired, overwhelmed mama needed. Thanks Lily!! read more

Clean, fast, and gentle. Went to get a pedicure for a girls day and my feet have never felt more soft!!!

I had a terrible experience here today. I went with a group of friends to celebrate my friend's birthday. I was the only person who had my nails done by the owner. My last manicure was 10 days ago and my cuticles were in good shape when I arrived. When I left, 3 of my cuticles were bleeding. The woman was so rough and cut me multiple times during the manicure. When I pointed this out, she blamed it on my cuticles being dry. This has never happened before and I moisturize them daily. I told her I was disappointed with my manicure because I have cuts on my cuticles and she finally agreed to give me 20% off (another nail tech had to offer it and she tried to steer me away from getting 20% back after I had payed.) I've been to this salon before and never had this happen, but have never had the owner do my nails before. Beware of Edward Scissorhands if you go to this salon. My fingers were butchered by her today! read more

Creative Nail Spa - I had a manicure less than 2 weeks ago and my cuticles were in good shape when I came in tonight. I left w/ 3 bleeding cuticles! - Nail Salons Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I have been here a few times now for dip nails. I have had great service every time, and all the techs do a great job!!

This place is very clean and not very expensive. I got a shellac change for only $23 and the woman that did my toes was very nice.

This is the best nail salon ever!!! It is very clean and fresh, unlike others I've gone too. Tracey, the owner, does my nails and she is awesome! She is never in a hurry and just does a great job with the shellac polish. They also have a lot of colors to pick from too. Tracey is super friendly and fun to chat with during a manicure. My polish typically lasts nearly 3 weeks, and they need to be redone then because of my nails getting to long. I highly recommend this salon. Be sure and make an appointments ahead of time so you will not have to wait. You won't be disappointed:) read more

I had a very nice experience here. The salon is clean and spacious, and there's a very large selection of polishes to choose from (mainly OPI & Essie) and they also have the new OPI Hawaii collection, which I was very excited about! I had Tracy, and she did a very good job at getting all of my nails even, and getting them exactly how I wanted. I asked for shorter nails because I always have a problem maintaining longer ones, and end up taking them off pretty soon after I get them, which is just a waste. When I told her this she made sure to cut them down short and then checked with me to make sure it's how I wanted them all throughout the manicure. I'm very happy with my nails and with the staff, because even though they started getting a bunch of walk ins after everyone had clients, they still work thoroughly with all of us and didn't rush it, doing good work, but still being quick about it. I will definitely continue coming here in the future! read more

Had a pretty nice mani/pedi was there, last Thursday. A little bit upset because I got a shellac manicure (supposed to last two weeks) and two nails have already completely peeled off, while five more are chipping. Paid about 60 bucks for the mani/pedi, so feeling a little ripped off. read more
