    BEWARE OF THIS PLACE
    Jackelyn M.

    BEWARE OF THIS PLACE! Never in my life, have I experienced such terrible service and disrespect. I asked how much for wax my foot.. first she thought I asked for my lower leg. She quoted 35. I corrected her and said , " no, my foot. She quoted me 10. As she began to put wax on my toes. She then changed her mind and tries to charge me an extra 10 dollars to include the dorsal part of the foot. She went on to explain that she charges 7 dollars for the lip alone . I never in my life have paid 20 to wax my feet. I explained to her that I asked her the price PRIOR for a reason. If the price was above what I usually pay, I would never have agreed to it. I'll pay 15 not 20. She insults me and tells me she never had a client negotiate prices. They just accept it. Well lady. They probably just accept it cause they don't want a 1/2 fast job. Told her to just finish the toes and paid her, her overly priced 10 bucks wax job for my 5 hairs on my toes .

    Yo, Mel ..

    Made and appt. for 10:30, two days ago. Arrived at 10:35, but the store was locked and nobody was inside. Went back to my car to call (got voicemail.) Glad I waited for a few minutes, because 2 employees arrived another 5 minutes later. Pedicure by Julie was perfectly adequate. Nothing bad or spectacular. Mani by Kathy who was REALLY aggressive about me looking through her dip colors, even though I brought my own with me, and I showed her. Sat me in a pedi chair, and left another set of dip colors on the chair for me to look through. Again I said, "no thanks," as I wanted to use my own. (It's heat sensitive and changes colors. Also, I usually do my own, but didn't have the time which is why I came to a nail salon. And if any break or chip I can fix them myself, but need to have the same color on hand.) Glad I bought my own color, because when I get home, I'm going to need to file the topcoat off of this, add another layer of dip, and put a new topcoat on. Taking photos of specific issues with your nails is always really really difficult, because you're trying to take pictures of things that are very, very small. I know it doesn't look like much in the pictures, but in person it's NOT awesome. The topcoat is wavy and pocked. Three of my nails were filed on an angle, even though they were prepped for shape and length prior to my appointment. When I called to make the appointment, I asked for pricing. I was told $50 for a dip manicure and $25 for a pedicure. Had them do callus removal (used a pumice sponge) which was an additional $5, please see photo. Keep in mind this is an hour AFTER my pedicure. So when I asked Kathy what I owed her, she said $100. I couldn't figure out how she got there... she thought I had a gel pedicure, which is an additional $10. (But 50+25+5+10=90. Not 100.) We straightened out the gel issue, which should've made it $80, but she still said 90. That's when I found out that they charged $10 to remove the dip manicure that I walked in with. I've never been charged to remove previous dip manicure. (Removal meant sticking both hands into a bowl full of acetone for 30 minutes. I haven't had a manicure removed that way in YEARS.) When I called for pricing, why wouldn't she have told me that it was $50 for the manicure, plus $10 to remove? And I know that many people have commented about what a careful job they do there. So I wasn't expecting to be in and out quickly, but I was there for just short of three hours... and I think it's pretty obvious that I won't be back. Update: at 9pm, same day, I broke my first nail...

    Kathy always does a great job . Her attention to detail is she is the best . Have been going here for years

    Nails done by Kathy!! I always come out with sturdy nails that can last for weeks even after getting them done again. I'm so happy with how my nails came out, truly the best place I've been to.

    I am always happy whenever my nails gets done because Kathy does a very good job on making my hands beautiful with her nail designs. So relaxing at her salon too because you get the quiet vibes with the music.

    4 words: best nail salon ever This nail salon is definitely recommended. I've seen a few comments stating that they walk in but they end up getting turned down or having to wait for 2 hours. Let me tell you why. This nail salon is not like your typical nail salon. Kathy really takes her time to make sure that she delivers a satisfying and beautiful result. Aside from nail salon services, I also get my eyelash extension from Kathy. Again. Highly recommended. She takes her time to make sure that the end product is so beautiful.

    Gel X nails, round shape
    Aimee W.

    An overdue 5-star review for my favorite nail salon and nail artist, Kathy. I go here religiously and nowhere else because of the quality and professionalism Exotic Nails holds highly. No longer do I have to worry about getting overfilled nails that don't compliment my skin tone, an infection from a cut, or feeling rushed and unwelcome from getting my nails done. Kathy is amazing and makes me feel like I'm home every time. She is careful in her craft and articulate, and always produces results that exceeds my expectations. I absolutely love every manicure full set I have ever gotten from her. My nails grow slowly and are extremely sensitive and brittle, but Kathy treats them gently and shapes them as well as strengthens them for proper growth. I usually get a Gel X set which is perfect for anyone who finds acrylics too harsh or strong on their nail beds. She's the one who suggested them for me and I can never go back to acrylics now! Kathy keeps the salon clean and tidy, and always uses a fresh sanitized set of utensils per session. I appreciate cleanliness because I've gotten infections from other places that neglected sanitizing. Also I always set an appointment for my nails which should be more common practice for small businesses post-CoVid. I love communicating with her what I would like for my nails because she adjusts it to be better than what I planned. She is incredibly patient and kind- A true master at what she does! She's really one in a million when it comes to nail salons in this area.

    Kathy always does an amazing job with manicures! The gel X came out very natural-looking and pretty with the cat eye design :)

    I wouldn't call this a design worth $30
    Cristina R.

    Total rip off. To say the least. Stay away. Nails lifted in a week and I was charged $152 for gelx set and French tip pedicure. She said the "design" was $25-30 more that's why it was so much. I wouldn't call it a design it's more like a French tip with a line. I felt robbed after 2 nails popped of 6 days later.

    Beautiful nails by Cathy,friendly, professional,& quality work when my family &i come to Exotic! Ask for pedicure too with Linda & Cristina

    I love Exotic nails! Beautiful nails by Cathy, shes the best!! quality, cleanliness, professional always friendly& peaceful salon, will bring my fam here, always ask for pedi too thank u for beautiful nails

My brother's nail technician, Phoebe, was also wonderful and did an excellent job.The little hand-painted cat paw prints are absolutely adorable, and my chrome nails are so shiny they look like little light bulbs! We're all completely obsessed with them. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and they even provided sparkling water, which was such a thoughtful touch. We both love our nails and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I've had appointments with just about every nail tech here, and every single one has been incredibly talented, hardworking, and attentive. They always listen to what I want while also offering helpful suggestions when I'm unsure. What really keeps me coming back is the retention on my Gel-X nails. No other salon has come close. My sets regularly last 5+ weeks, and the longest I've pushed them was 6 weeks because I couldn't get an appointment sooner. Not a single nail popped off! That alone speaks volumes about the quality of their work. The team is always so sweet and welcoming, and the salon itself is cute, clean, and comfortable. I also love whatever they have playing on the TV,it definitely helps pass the time when I'm getting more detailed nail art done . They're booked out for a reason! I almost want to gatekeep this place because it's that good, but they truly deserve all the love and support. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality nails that actually last.

    One Plus Nail *April 25th, 2026…read more*9:30am- Saturday *2.5 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Lot*Crowded *Quick Service *Online Appointment Availability I hadn't been here in a while, but decided to come back since I usually remember them having pretty solid service for a decent price. My sister and I went for gel manicures for her birthday, and we made an appointment ahead of time (which ended up being really helpful since there were about 10 people waiting when we arrived). Since we had an appointment, we got seated right away. I showed my nail tech my inspiration photo on my phone, and she got started pretty quickly. She was nice, but the whole service felt pretty rushed. At times she didn't even let the UV gel finish curing before asking me to take my hand out so she could move on to the next coat. I also added chrome for an extra $15, and while she did take time to make sure it covered most of the nails, I noticed later there were still some missed spots. The overall application also felt a bit uneven, and the gel looked really thick (almost more like a builder gel than a standard gel manicure). Looking at my nails from the side, the thickness seems more noticeable than previous times that I've had them done here. I'm not sure if it was from extra layers or how the gel was applied, but it didn't feel as clean as past visits. Overall, it was okay for the price and convenience, but I definitely left feeling like the attention to detail wasn't quite there this time.

    I've had good experiences at this salon before, which is why I was surprised by this visit. My…read moreregular technician was unavailable, and I was assigned to someone else recommended by the manager. Unfortunately, the service quality was concerning -- the filing caused noticeable discomfort, the curing process under the lamp was unusually hot, and the gel was applied onto the surrounding skin rather than cleanly along the nail edges. After only three days, the manicure has already started chipping along the edges, which raises concerns about both technique and product application. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously and ensures better consistency and training across technicians.

I went in for a gel manicure and pedicure appointment on April 12, 2026. My first experience with them was wonderful so I decided to book again. This time instead of calling in I used the online appointment system. I clicked the techs I wanted and it was confirmed on the screen I would be serviced by them. I also added an appt for my husband a few days before my appt online and got online confirmation that we would be serviced at the same time. Day of the appt I got a text saying my tech would be late. I said that's fine and I would send my husband in to keep his earlier appt. They then told me that the online system was incorrect. We got to the salon and while my husband was getting his service, I was told my tech was booked and I would be with someone else. I told them I got online confirmation of the tech id be with, they said it was wrong. This is where it all went downhill. I don't even remember the girl's name but I was ensured she would do a good job. I don't get mani/pedi often so I was looking forward to this. She used an efile on my nails and, like a few other comments, filed my nails so thin that a couple broke in their parking lot. She didn't really speak to me because she could tell I was frustrated at the miscommunication and was also told by the front desk to call next time if I want a particular tech. This option shouldn't be available online if it doesn't work. My nails started to burn that when she finished cleaning my cuticles I cancelled the rest of the appointment. I was contacted by the salon to try to make things better, which I appreciate, however it shouldn't have come to this in the first place. Needless to say, here we are 5/20 and I have not gone back. My nails are still so brittle that you can visible see where the nail was filed down vs the new growth. The nail on my left pinky is lifting so I have to be extra careful with it. I really thought I found my new shop because it's much closer. My old nail spot has been servicing me for 20+ years so looks like I'll be making the trip back there.
