When I asked them to STOP using the drill on my gel polish they didn't. They took most of the polish off that way ruined my natural nails.

Since I haven't seen a "Up to date" review in nearly a Year, I decided to write a Good one! Very comfortable environment! Prices are super reasonable. The lady followed all the instructions of how I wanted my length, etc. I highly recommend this Nail shop! They do great work here! Advise to make an appointment a day in advance, as they do get pretty packed read more

My wife and I are on Vacation here in Caledonia. She painfully cracked an acrylic nail below the line of the nail bed, and needed help getting it cut down and fixed. We walked into this place at 1:30pm, and asked for help. My wife explained what happened and the lady said "just one nail" my wife said yes. She then said "they were busy, nobody available" which is totally fine. I said that's okay we will wait, she then said "No, everyone is leaving after". Everyone (maybe 8 nail techs) is leaving -- at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday. Nobody has 2 minutes to cut a nail, or 10 minutes to repair the acrylic. Went right across the street to Circa Nails and lashes. They took my wife right away, fixed her nail, and we got her toes painted to match. read more

Best nail salon in the area, and really good acrylics are done here!! This salon is also very clean.

Always good service! Will gladly fix a broken nail! Good prices. Staff is pleasant. Have been going for many years!

This place is by far one of the best nail salons I have been to. They are reasonably priced too which is a plus! For a gel manicure and regular pedicure it costs $60.00. Eyebrows cost $10.00 and a nail design is $5.00 and up depending on what you get. This would be my sixth time going and they always do such an amazing job especially the nail tech Emily she is one of the best and my favorite at this nail salon. I highly recommend her she has such a bubble personality. read more

Very unhappy! He cut my nail so short and when he tried to file the back cut job, he was rubbing the file on my skin. I stopped the pedicure to explain it hurts and he should not of cut the mail that way. Very upset and hoping I don't get my first ingrown toe nail. It's been 4 hrs and it still is bothering me and hurts. I'm going to file a complaint with Wisconsin dept of regulation and licensing. read more

My daughter made an appointment for 1pm on mother's day. Two others walk in before us. They never checked to see who had the reservation first. They took the other people. At 1:40 we walked out with no pedicures. Won't go back. Piss poor managing. read more

I have been coming here for years without an issue. I went in to get a pedi where I was placed with a man with a nasty attitude. I told him I wanted polish with a design on my big toes. During the pedi he didn't scrub my feet or really anything for that matter. After roughly 4 minutes of sitting in the chair he started painting my toes. I didn't say anything. He proceeds to paint my nails getting polish all over my skin. As he starts removing the excess polish he starts removing polish from the actual nails. He then tells me "you're all done" I said where's my design?! He replied in a nasty tone "I can't do designs and no one else here can either". I then proceeded to ask about my polish, letting him know it looks very unprofessional. He then in a nasty tone yelled out that the place was being sold soon and stormed away. I was appalled as a returning/paying customer to be treated that way. Then another worker came by and said she'll fix it and was trying to tell me he was mad at her and taking it out on me!! Needless to say I will NEVER be returning here again! Note- here's a picture of my nails not even 2 hours later, the polish started coming off read more

Empress Nail Spa - Just had these done. Perfect for the holidays! - Nail Salons Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

Here is the low down. Best massage chairs ever. Seriously, it was borderline inappropriate. It literally massaged me from my calves to my head. Almost feel asleep during my pedi. I really felt I got alot for my money ($37 for a mani/pedi). Friendly, attentive, I was happy with the quality of the mani. My pedi was a tad intense. My feet are actually really sore and it's been several days. I get a few a season and this wasn't my first so it's not like these piggies were that outta control. Also....The owners have a young daughter, about 6, who hangs around. She will inevitably talk to you and she even crawled onto my lap. I am not a "kid person". It was a little much for me personally. It's their vibe...Just be forewarned. read more

If I could give this place a 0 I would without any hesitation. This place is SO unprofessional. I use to come to this nail shop when they first started out and they were decent. After a while everything went downhill. Their quality of acrylic nails, the quality of their gel nail polish that literally chips a couple days after having them done and the poor customer service they provide. Every single one of their employees are rude, inconsiderate and very unprofessional. I've given this nail salon so many chances, even after they screw up and they just seem to get worse and worse. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. Do not come here unless you are trying to waste your time and your money. You'll thank me. read more

Love this place!! Their nail art is fantastic! If you want it, they can do it or they will come up with a better option for you. Yes, their massage chairs aren't the best but the service you receive and the quality of the work is fantastic!! Love love love this nail salon! Great value, great quality, great prices! read more

I went here to have my nails done for my son's wedding. I didn't know what color/ colors to do for this! Ann helped me pick the colors that would go great with my dress! She did an excellent job and I had many, many compliments on my nails. I had such a great experience that I am now a regular customer! Thank you Ann!! read more

Got a gel manicure that turned out awsome. Gentleman took time on my nails, did multiple coats, more so than any other salon Ive been to. So far no chipping at all. Would definitely go again. read more

Empress Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Oak Creek, Wisconsin

I kept hearing how awesome this place is, so I took a chance and sprung for a pedicure. Hey, it's summer... I need my toes to look amazing. I'm first to admit, I'm slightly high maintenance. I'm a stylist. I'm particular.... And I know the rules and regulations for the state of Wisconsin. That said, there are good things about empress nails, and not so good things about empress nails. Highlights: they did a great job painting my nails. They have a TON of gel polish options Very comfortable chairs with massage options Low points: a lot of the non gel polishes seem HELLA old, streaky, and goopey. Mine was supposed to have sparkle in it...it was so old the glitter was actually hardened to the sides..... I was not a happy camper. I had what looked like a cheese grater .....(nope, not kidding) used on my feet. I know what you're thinking...Kimberly, you're exaggerating.... Nope I'm not. It also hurt like a bitch. My feet still have sore spots from her grating my skin off 18 hours ago. She also cut my nail a little and made me bleed. :( ouch. Not enough massage time either. It was 27 bucks. I kinda expected more. I'm going to try it one more time and tell them sans cheese grater..... read more

Chen did an AMAZING job! Literally the best pedicure I've ever gotten! She was thorough, timely, and friendly. I will never go to anyone else again. read more

Extremely rude out of the gate. I walk in and say hello, and I'm snapped at because apparently it's "appointment only" for pedicures, yet there is no sign stating that. There is a sign that says walk-ins welcome. Will not be returning! read more

This is the best nail salon for men in the area of the two I've tried out. Unlike most nail salons, there's a diverse staff. I always worry when the whole staff is one nationality, and they all look unhappy, and the boss seems to be an owner and speaks in harsh scolding tones in a Southeast Asian language I don't understand...that the workers are exploited under some sort of 21st century indentured servant relationship. I worry about the injustice of that as well as what they might do to my fingers with sharp maybe unclean instruments of torture when moral is rock bottom. Well, the workers here happily chatter with each other across at least three different languages and a couple of English dialects. Two of the women working here speak Hawai'ian pidgin and I think are Samoan. If the staff here are exploited, well at least morale is good. Prices are good, wait times are brief and they give an honest estimate when I call, and they have "Days of Our Lives" up on the big flat screen during my lunch break. Chad finally decided between Abigail and Gabi, and seriously, Theo and Claire need to stop spying on Valerie already. read more

My first visit was in May 2014 with my wedding party and everything was perfect, including the champagne! I've been back a few times since and every time I've experience great customer service and a long lasting product. Classic pedicure is my go to! read more

I moved away from the area 5 years ago and have a newfound respect and love for this place. Their pedicures and fills are above and beyond what i've been able to get anywhere else (Madison/Johnson Creek/Whitewater/Janesville). They remember their customers, and will talk to you if you are in a talking mood, or let you relax if that's what you want. They are always getting more colors, and learning new techniques! read more

I would stay away from the "gel" polish at Empress. Either my color was old, or it wasn't really gel polish, but either way one day after my gel fill in and paint, 3 nails had color chipped more than halfway off, with evidence the others were doing the same. I returned, expecting to get a repaint of all nails. The technician took the shady way out by repainting the nails seriously chipped, and then when I asked if the rest would be done, pointing out the chipping he replied he would fix them. By slapping on coat after coat of color trying to stop chipping. I was not thrilled. And, TWO days after that--4 nails (these are the ones that were just "spot fixed") have seriously chipped. A $37 gel fill should not chip AT ALL, let alone immediately after being done. Beware of their shady services and horrible customer service. I will not make the mistake of returning again. read more

Horrible !! Never will come again !!!! Was done with in 15 minutes and got in later than my mom and still was done before her ..... He did not do a massage or anything and then charge $30 for basically a polish change ... Should have waited and went to my normal place but they were closed . read more

Very clean staff was very friendly I was in from chicago they fixed the horrible full set I got back home! Wish I lived out here would go back! read more

I don't care what anyone says about this place, it's phenomenal. I, am an 18 year old and always wanting one more thing to improve myself. Is that selfish to say? Maybe so, but it's the truth about girls my age. I LOVE to get pedicures and gel on my nails. I think having well groomed nails is important and healthy. The pedicures there are perfect. They take their time on your feet, get all that unwanted dead skin off, and do a great job of painting your toes (and nails.) Also to mention their prices are very reasonable. For fingers, it is just as good. They have MANY gel colors and regular polish colors, which makes the process longer sometimes, but gives you more options. They are also very good and helpful about any questions and are looking out for your best interest in your choice. I picked a gel color, and a girl who was helping me told me to pick a color similar to the one I liked because that color and brand chipped quickly. Many places don't care for you personally, and just want your money. Empress nails is not one of those places. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! read more

So, I needed a Pedi. I walk in there was a wait.....I don't mind waiting. HOWEVER, I asked how long the wait was and the owner (I beleive she was either the owner or manager) told me to "go" and then shooed me out with her hand. I thought that was the worst gesture a business could give to a customer. Without the customers businesses would not exist! It was down-right disrespectfu. I didn't say a word, I simply walked out. I went across the street to Belligio Salon.........I must say I am SO HAPPY that Empress Nails were evil to me because I ended up getting the BEST pedicure at a different place. I've been to Empress before-they are "average", but to be disrgarded as a customer was the "straw" so to speak. I will never give them my money if my feet were on fire and they were the only nail shop with a fire hose. If you like evil energy, visit this place. read more

I've tried a lot of nail salons in the area and this is honestly the best nail salon around. I get my nails filled and painted with gel polish and they always do a great job with everything! I usually wait a little too long to get them filled but my nails never break or chip! Great experience every time. read more

I had never gotten my nails professionally done. Then I was recently introduced to the gel manicure and I'm hooked. They do a great job at Empress. There are tons of colors to choose from. The gel manicure lasts 2 weeks easily. They do a great, thorough job. They are very polite. It is easy just to walk in and get your nails done. Although sometimes it is crowded and a bit of a wait, but they take appointments. read more

I've been coming to this nail salon for years! After having a bad experience with my wedding nails back in 2015, I decided not to go back. Late in 2016, I decided to give this nail shop another chance. Out of convenience and it being close to home, I started getting my nails and pedis done again. Nothing has changed, their customer service is lacking, you're never greeted nicely, and when you show up, they all look at you as if they're doing you a favor for taking your service. I usually don't mind and definitely don't expect much from them, but today definitely made me decide never to go back again. I've always been a paying customer. I was waiting to get a pedi done, and mentioned to the owner who was doing a pedi for a customer, that the water was cold. I asked if he can show me how to turn on the hot water. He looked at me, ignored me and kept doing the pedi for the other customer. I didn't mean to interrupt, but I was already sitting there for 10 mins with what started as lukewarm water. I asked the owner if he was ignoring my request, and he replied, please tell someone else to do it. I walked out causing no commotion like any normal person will do. Not only have they lost their quality in doing nails, but have no regard for paying customers. I will never go back again. read more

My nails look really cute! Except a certain employee pulled too hard on a hangnail and I bled :/

This was the second time I went and disappointed again. I shall not be returning there again. I got a gel mani and pedi. My finger nails weren't filed evenly, no massage but she did a great job with cleaning my cuticles. Though she was in a rush because it was her day off and she was called in because of short staff. A gentleman did my pedi who was really slow and did a very, very mediocre job. The nail polish was very old and goopy. It seemed like they wanted to get the place full with out the quality service. read more

Ann is amazing... she noticed I have ingrown toe nails & specializes in that. She also has me go a few months with no color to keep my nails healthy. She is very knowledgeable in her profession & great to talk to for my 45 min pedicure. The facility is very clean & fresh. I highly recommend this salon... Debi read more

They were so rude the guy didn't talk to me at all.he grabbed my hands like he was mad. I even tried to roll that off my shoulder but when I was about to leave I tip him and he just waved bye. Customer service wise was horrible I will never go back. Wish I could give it zero stars read more
