I'm a walk-in, basic pedicure - nothing fancy or extra. They told me to pick a color and sat me immediately after I did. I couldn't decide between two colors and Emily helped me by painting one big toe with each then taking off the color I didn't like. Fast, friendly, professional. I'll definitely return. read more

Lucy is the absolute best! she grew my real nails out so strong and I see her every 4 weeks. highly recommende! she cares about her clients and truly is a great nail artist! read more

I tried this nail salon for the first time last month because a good friend of mine goes here regularly! Tina and Ava are super sweet nail technicians and are highly recommended by people I know. They know their clients by name and have built a great reputation! Tina did my nails and she was very tentative, making sure that the color and chrome finish was what I was hoping for. She has a kind demeanor and I can tell she genuinely wanted me to have a good experience as a first timer (in a long time) getting nails done. What I got: dip nails + added acrylic tip + ombre + chrome finish with a pink base color Prices are appropriate and match the other local businesses around here! Chrome: They have sooooo many options Ombre: SO MANY COLOR OPTIONS Quality: My nails lasted for a whole month! No chipping and had a smooth finish to them. I will DEFINITELY come back for Tina or Ava next month! read more

Love both Jessica and Emily. You cant go wrong with anyone you get. They all do a wonderful job and are sooo sweet and kind. Relaxing compared to most salons that are loud and rushed. You feel pampered and get great quality. Most importantly, all tools are sterlie. I have Lupus and type 1 diabetes so this is extremely important to me. They also educate you about your nails. UPDATE: I've been coming here for over a year and I love it more and more! read more

I went here for a pedicure and came back later in the week for a shellac manicure. I was able to call and make a reservation (I called the day before for my manicure that I went with a friend). They do a nice job for the price. The manicure went fast but I like that they "got to business" and did not "small talk". They take card but tips are given in cash (per their request). UPDATE: The toe nails were regular polish and done earlier than my shellac. My toe nails have held up pretty well but one of my shellac nails came off and it's been less than two weeks. Usually I can go 3+ weeks with Shellac so I'm a little bummed about that. Still pleased overall. read more

A little bit ago, my friend brought me here and I loved it! They are gentle with your nails, and can do incredible nail art! 10 out of 10 totally recommend read more

I just moved here and was having a hard time finding a nail salon with good ratings. I found this one with a few good reviews. I can also contribute I had a great experience. My appointment was on time and the tech did a great job. $82 for a mani ped with gel. I would recommend Dream Nail Spa, and will be back! read more

Was recommended by a coworker and was not disappointed. I got my first set of acrylics and was worried about the feel. The technician made sure they felt comfortable and were the correct length. As well as making sure I liked the color as well. read more

We really liked our pedis from Dream Nails. However we were surprised to find out, after the fact, that the polka dots on I got on two (yes 2) toes had cost me an extra $17. That was disappointing. Aside from that everyone was friendly. read more

I've been coming to Dream Nails consistently for nearly 2 years now. The nail techs are all so friendly and do a fabulous job. I try to make an appointment but have never had an issue walking in when necessary. Their selection of colors in phenomenal and my dip always looks fabulous for 2-3 weeks (and would longer, but my nails grow super fast). You won't find me in any other nail salon anytime soon! read more

Dream Nails - Dip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I've been here a few times. They do not take pride in their work. I had shellac on my nails for a few months. On a visit I asked to remove and have a regular mani. The gal filed my nail beds and then gave me a so so mani. Come to find out shellac was still on my nails! Shame on them for such poor quality. Shellac needs to be removed with acid tone!

Amazing color options, great service, they really put time and effort into getting my shape right (which I SO appreciate) and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks Jessica! read more

I'm regular client at the Dream Nails. I usually see Lucy but that was not the case on my last visit. I made an appointment for 2:45pm. Got there and it was packed with "spring break" teenagers getting there nails done. I checked in and then waited for my "appointment". They finally got to me around 3:15pm, but really they got me to a table to "soak" my nails. It was about 3:30pm when I finally was able to get nail tech to do my nails. Nails were great, but my only complaint is that if your going to make appointments you should honor them. I felt that the "spring break" teenagers were more important than the the people that come there on a regular basis. read more

Stopped in for a pedicure and had the worst pedicure!! Fastest pedicure I have EVER had it was 22 minutes from start to finish and that was time including picking out my polish. I never got to relax, no soaking, hot towel was one towel for both legs laid on my legs and was removed before it even had a chance to get cold. I had already cut my nails before I even got there and did my heels. I wanted more time to soak, relax and be pampered. Didn't happen there. Probably won't be back. Not a dream fan. Go elsewhere! read more

I made a reservation for 5, and here it is 5:30 and I have only picked my color. When I walked in there were 13 people filling every station. They should either not have taken my reservation do 5 or honored my time slot. I don't mind a 10-15 minute wait, but this is ridiculous. This is also not the first time this situation has occurred, so I'm not happy about their customer service. read more

Came in for 2:30 appt- they didn't get to me until 3:20. Rushed through a mani pedi. Never even asked what type of pedi I wanted. Mani- they never wiped off my nails after filing so they are bubbly and terrible. Won't be back. read more

I wanted a pedicure before going on a trip and I had been spending a lot of time in this area so I stopped in to Dream Nails. I didn't make an appointment but I was able to walk in and was seated right away at 3:30 on a week day. I would recommend calling ahead or making an appointment if you're on a tight schedule. I was seated in a super comfortable massage chair that started rumbling right away. The control for the chair was a bit confusing, so I didn't mess with it, but the massage was a bit intense for me. The aesthetician lined the foot bath with a brand new plastic liner, which I had never seen before but really appreciated. The entire salon was very clean and bright. The pedicure included the basic stuff as well as a short leg massage and hot towel application. I personally liked the fact that there was no small talk because sometimes I just want to zone out and be silent for awhile. I loved the hot towel application - it was soothing and relaxing to me, although I think some people may feel that the towel is too hot, so be aware! My pedicure has held up very well with zero chips and it's been over two weeks since I got it. I paid $27 plus tip, which is comparable or even cheaper than most places I've visited. I'm so glad I decided to stop in to Dream Nails, and I will definitely be back for my next pedicure. read more

My daughter and I came in to have acrylic nails done for the first time.. ever. I will never have acrylic nails again because of this place. not only were we over charged, I got the lady who was rushing and had no idea what she was doing. Unfortunately for me, I didn't know what they should look like either so I left with nails way too thick, the acrylic lumpy and uneven, and super uneven painted "tips". Im now being laughed at because of these. My nails are so thick I can't even scratch an itch..... we stopped on our way home from up north and unfortunately am hours away, so I can't just go in and have my $80 dollar nails fixed. Terrible terrible experience. Avoid this place at all costs!!! read more

Honestly really disappointed with this place. Got a simple pedicure and dip on my nails. The pedicure wasn't bad but it was super rushed and the polish on my toenails is uneven and just looks like I did it myself. I understand that it gets busy and stressful, but the rushing does show on my nails. My dip is super chunky and caked under my nails. It looks pretty bad. read more

I tried this salon twice with my daughters. The first time we had to wait over an hour. We decided to try once more before never going back. Today, I called first and they said, "Come on in." THEY WILL ALWAYS SAY THIS and then make you wait. Only one technician speaks English. I had to ask for a clean towel for my daughter because I saw it wasn't changed from the previous client. Her water bowl then had a nail in it (not hers). Stations aren't sanitized between clients. I felt like I needed to shower after I was done. Nails are fine, but the service and cleanliness aren't. Not going back. read more

Great nail place and friendly people. I started going here because they sterilize all of their tools in an autoclave but it's the friendly people and promptness of getting you in as a walk in that Keeps me going back! Highly recommend!! read more

Went for the first time a couple weeks back as part of a wedding party. Intentionally chose a gel color from the samples that were labeled 'OPI' because I have had very bad experience with other brands (specifically DND) leaving a ton of damage to my nails (due to it not coming off via soaking, and requiring a high level of filing to get it off). Went to get it removed from another salon this evening that I frequent and know has very competent and honest staff - and what Dream Nails had put on was clearly not OPI - and required a ton of filing to come off. The tech that did the removal said it was the brand DND on my nails. Now my nails have crazy damage. I am shocked that they would blatantly lie to customers about what brand of product they're using. Will not be back!!! read more

I have been going to Dream nails for two years now and would overwhelmingly recommend them. I have my manicures and pedicures done by either Ava or Annie. read more

Very clean nice place. First time visiting after going to the same nail place for 3 years. I have my own nails that are very long. I got a dip (need a thicker coverage so my nails don't break because I am very rough with them). I had asked for another layer. Received that on all but 4 nails. 2 days later two of my nails broke. I give a 5 star for cleanliness. read more

Love this nail salon! They are extremely kind and always do an incredible job on my nails Not to mention, the atmosphere is clean and welcoming! Love it! read more

My daughter had a 11:30 reservation and didn't get in until 12:15. She called ahead about pricing and asked again when she was there and was charged $20 more than was told. The person doing her nails had a scab on her hand and it stuck to the mail glue and she laughed and said - added color. read more

Very disappointed with my first visit today. The pedicure was OK but nothing special. All of the technicians who weren't with clients were on their cell phones while the shop was in complete disarray. There's nothing upscale about an environment where there's groceries laying out against walls and chairs are askew all over the place and nothing is clean and tidy. Very bad first impression. The worst was when the technician next to me took water out of the pedicure bowl of another client and poured it into mine while I was sitting there. Never made a comment. Acted like I was invisible. When I got up to leave my shoes were full of water. Not going back. I need some thing with a little more class. read more

Favorite place to meet with my friends for a manicure or pedicure! Great prices and so many color options

I have been here multiple times before and I hate to speak up because it's so embarrassing so I don't but the full set I got was not it. I paid $65 plus tip for some bumpy nails that don't look good. It looks like what you would do on your friends the first time you get a nail set on Amazon. I understand that nails can be hard but this is not the place to get acrylics. read more

Nice place with very kind and accommodating people. They got me in and out very fast. My nails look and feel so much better.

Clean, quiet and very professional staff... Trish always takes great time and care when doing my pedicures.

Broke out in herpes whitlow all over from unsanitary dip powder or tools

Actually the WORST place I've ever been. The water for my pedicure was gross, my feet were discolored. My nail tech couldn't pain anything she did way too thick of coats so it took forever to dry and got it all over my skin. A toddler could do better. read more

always super clean and trish is super nice and amazing also they worked 43 minutes after to work on me love then

Rushed the whole way through for mani and pedi. Was $90+ for dip mani and basic pedi with shellac. The woman was surprised when I asked if she was going to do my cuticles stating I needed to tell her I wanted a mani as well. My pedi was 20 min. Disappointing. The dip process was a mess, an unpleasant experience overall. Will not be back. read more

I have been trying to find a good nail salon in Grand Rapids and I finally found the one! I will never go anywhere else to get my nails done. Dream Nails was AMAZING! They are a little pricier than other nail places (only by a few dollars per service), but you can tell that the money is invested back into the business. Dream nails is an actual nail spa, they are cleaner than any facility I have ever been in and use high quality products. Unlike many nail places, there is nothing sketchy about the place (the nail polish is not clumpy or old, there is good ventilation, everything is clean and organized, the techs always wear gloves, not rude/rushing when it comes to payment, etc). There are so many color options to choose from and my nail tech was constantly asking me whether I liked my nails to ensure good service. I have had dip nails on for almost four weeks without any lifting! Dream nails has also been extraordinary with COVID-19 measures. They have plastic barriers everywhere, the techs are using masks and face shields, gloves, using disposable pedicure kits and plastic bags for the foot tubs, do non-contact temperature checks, and even have pens that have been sanitized that you use to sign in before using and disposing of the pen in the "dirty" bucket. Overall, I can't wait to support this business again. I have not been able to stop dreaming about the next nails I will get here. read more

Clean environment and good service and staff are nice. Always have time to fit me. Great selection of nail polish.

This is a difficult review to write because I am torn. The two individuals that did my mother's pedi and my pedi did an awesome job! They took their time and did a great job. I'd go back to get my toes done. However, the two who did our nails (dip) didn't do a great job. They didn't even cut our cuticles (my main complaint) or put lotion on. They rushed and you can definitely tell. read more

I had a pedicure and dip polish application. I'm giving this salon two stars because the pedicure was well done, but rushed a bit. The dip polish was awful. The owner did it and she always looks so miserable and is not customer service oriented whatsoever. The polish was not smooth and very thick and uneven in different places. She left gunk caked under my nails and filed them to stubs after I specifically said I am trying to grow them out. They began to CHIP three days after I had them done. I've never had dip polish chip and have kept them on for up to six weeks before. It's been a headache trying to find a decent salon in GR after moving from Florida and this one is definitely not it. read more
